terms of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set
over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse, all right, title and

      Purchase and Sale Agreement, respectively, as a result of a breach of

contemplated hereby is held by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a
sale, this Agreement will constitute a grant by the Depositor of a security
interest in all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or existing
or hereafter acquired or arising, in the property referred to in this Section to
the Issuer for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the

<PAGE>

            (b) Immediately upon the vesting of the Trust Property in the Trust,
      the Trust will have the sole right to pledge or otherwise encumber such
      Trust Property. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Trust will grant a security
      interest in the Trust Property to the Indenture Trustee securing the
      repayment of the Notes and the Issuer's obligations to the Insurer. The
      Certificates will represent the beneficial ownership interest in the Trust
      Property, and the Certificateholders will be entitled to receive
      distributions with respect thereto as set forth herein.

            (c) Following the payment in full of the Notes and the release and
      discharge of the Indenture, all covenants of the Issuer under Article III
      of the Indenture will, until payment in full of the Certificates, remain
      as covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
      enforceable by the Certificateholders to the same extent as such covenants
      were enforceable by the Noteholders prior to the discharge of the
      Indenture. Any rights of the Indenture Trustee under Article III of the
      Indenture, following the discharge of the Indenture, will vest in
      Certificateholders.

            (d) The Indenture Trustee will, at such time as there are no Notes
      outstanding and all sums due to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and the

      following the discovery by Triad or receipt by Triad of notice of such
      breach, unless such breach is cured by such date, Triad will repurchase

and warranties pursuant to Section 3.1 and the agreement contained in this
Section will be the repurchase of Receivables pursuant to this Section, subject

repurchase such Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Neither the
Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee will have a duty to conduct any
affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any conditions requiring the
repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section.

related Receivable has been purchased by Triad, Triad will indemnify the Trust,
the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer, and the officers, directors, agents
and employees thereof, the Insurer, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders
against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or
incurred by any of them as a result of third party claims arising out of the
events or facts giving rise to such breach.

      and enforceable against the Depositor.

such Receivable (together with any agreements modifying the Receivable,
including any extension agreements);

                  (ii) the original certificate of title (when received)
indicating that the Financed Vehicle is owned by the Obligor and subject to the
interest of Triad as first lienholder or secured party (including any Lien
Certificate received by Triad) or that it has been assigned to Triad as first
lienholder or secured party, or, if such original certificate of title has not
yet been received, a copy of the application therefor, showing Triad as secured
party and otherwise such related documents, if any, that Triad keeps on file in
accordance with its customary procedures; and

                  (iii) in connection with Receivable Files pertaining to retail
installment sale contracts, the original credit application, or a copy thereof
(collectively, the "Receivable Files").

            (b) Upon payment in full of any Receivable, the Servicer will notify
      the Custodian pursuant to a certificate of an officer of the Servicer
      (which certificate will include a statement to the effect that all amounts
      received in connection with such payments which are required to be
      deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.1 have been so
      deposited) and will request delivery of the Receivable File to the
      Servicer. From time to time as appropriate for servicing and enforcing any
      Receivable, the Custodian will, upon written request of an officer of the
      Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a receipt signed by such
      officer, cause the related Receivable File to be released to the Servicer.
      The Servicer's receipt of a Receivable File will obligate the Servicer to
      return the Receivable File to the Custodian when its need by the Servicer
      has ceased unless the Receivable is repurchased as described in Section
      3.2 or 4.7.

            (c) The Custodian, or its third-party vendor, will hold the
      Receivable Files on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and will maintain such
      accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to
      each Receivable File as will enable the Indenture Trustee to comply with
      the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For so long as Triad is the
      Custodian, the Custodian will maintain the Receivable Files at (i) its
      office located at 7711 Center Avenue, Suite 100, Huntington Beach,
      California 92647, (ii) with a third-party service provider identified on
      Schedule D hereto, as it may be modified from time to time by the
      Custodian with the consent of the Insurer, which will not be unreasonably
      withheld, or (iii) subject to the prior written consent of the Insurer, so
      long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, at such other
      office as will from time to time be identified to the Indenture Trustee
      and the Insurer. Each Receivable will be identified on the books and
      records of the Custodian in a manner that (i) indicates that the
      Receivables are held by the Custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee
      and (ii) is otherwise necessary, as reasonably determined by the
      Custodian. So long as Citibank, N.A. is not the Custodian, the Custodian
      will conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic physical inspections of
      the Receivable Files held by it, and of the related accounts, records and
      computer systems, in such a manner as will enable the Indenture Trustee,
      the Insurer and the Custodian to verify the accuracy of the Custodian's
      inventory and recordkeeping. Such inspections will be conducted at such
      times, in such manner and by such persons including independent
      accountants, as the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee may reasonably
      request and the cost of such inspections will be borne directly by the
      Custodian, so long as Citibank, N.A. is not the Custodian, and not by the
      Insurer or the Indenture Trustee, but such inspections are not to take
      place more than once per year. The Custodian will promptly report to the
      Insurer and the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to hold the
      Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and

                                       21
<PAGE>

      computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action
      to remedy any such failure. Upon request, the Custodian will, at the
      expense of the party making such request, make copies or other electronic
      file records (e.g., diskettes, CDs, etc.) (the "Copies") of the Receivable
      Files and will deliver such Copies to the Indenture Trustee and the
      Indenture Trustee will hold such Copies on behalf of the Issuer Secured
      Parties.

            (d) The Custodian will, subject only to the Custodian's security
      requirements applicable to its own employees having access to similar
      records held by the Custodian, which requirements will be consistent with
      the practices of an institution that maintains custody of Receivable Files
      for its own account, and at such times as may be reasonably imposed by the
      Custodian, permit only the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee or their duly
      authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors to inspect the
      Receivable Files and the related accounts, records, and computer systems
      maintained by the Custodian pursuant hereto at such times as the Insurer
      or the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request during normal business
      hours.

            (e) The Custodian will be deemed to have received proper
      instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of
      written instructions signed by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
      Trustee. Such instructions may be general or specific in terms. The
      Indenture Trustee will provide a copy of any such instructions to the
      Insurer.

            (f) The Custodian will indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the
      Backup Servicer, the Insurer, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders and
      the Indenture Trustee for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
      damage, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever (including the
      fees and expenses of counsel) that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted
      against such Persons and their respective officers, directors, employees,
      agents, attorneys and successors and assigns as the result of any act or
      omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the
      Custodian or any third-party vendor of the Receivable Files; provided,
      however, that the Custodian will not be liable for any portion of any such
      liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments, costs or expenses due
      to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of the Issuer,
      the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Insurer or the Indenture
      Trustee or the officers, directors, employees and agents thereof. In no
      event will the Custodian be liable to any third party for acts or
      omissions of the Custodian other than as specifically set forth in this
      Section.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                   Administration and Servicing of Receivables

      Section 4.1 Duties of the Servicer.

            (a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to act as agent for the Trust
      and in such capacity will manage, service, administer and make collections
      on the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables after the date of
      purchase thereof by Triad or the Servicer), and perform the other actions
      required by the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer agrees that
      its servicing of the Receivables will be carried out in accordance with
      customary and usual procedures of institutions which service motor vehicle
      retail installment sales contracts and, to the extent more exacting, the
      degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises from time to
      time with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it

                                       22
<PAGE>

      services for itself or others. In performing such duties, so long as Triad
      is the Servicer, it will substantially comply with the policies and
      procedures described on Schedule C (the "Servicing Policies and
      Procedures"), as such policies and procedures may be updated from time to
      time. The Servicer's duties will include collection and posting of all
      payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Receivables,
      investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons or statements to
      Obligors, reporting any required tax information to Obligors, monitoring
      the collateral, complying with the terms of the Blocked Account Agreement,
      accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to
      the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer with respect to distributions, and
      performing the other duties specified herein.

            (b) The Servicer will also administer and enforce all rights and
      responsibilities of the holder of the Receivables provided for in the
      Dealer Agreements and Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements (and will
      maintain possession of the Dealer Agreements and Auto Loan Purchase and
      Sale Agreements, to the extent it is necessary to do so), the Dealer
      Assignments, the Third-Party Lender Assignments and the Insurance
      Policies, to the extent that such Dealer Agreements, Auto Loan Purchase
      and Sale Agreements, Dealer Assignments, Third-Party Lender Assignments
      and Insurance Policies relate to the Receivables, the Financed Vehicles or
      the Obligors. To the extent consistent with the standards, policies and
      procedures otherwise required hereby, the Servicer will follow its
      customary standards, policies, and procedures and will have full power and
      authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such
      managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem
      necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
      the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trust to execute
      and deliver, on behalf of the Trust, any and all instruments of
      satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge,
      and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and
      with respect to the Financed Vehicles; provided, however, that
      notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer will not, except pursuant to
      an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, release an Obligor from
      payment of any unpaid amount under any Receivable or waive the right to
      collect the unpaid balance of any Receivable from the Obligor except in
      accordance with the Servicer's customary practices.

            (c) The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name
      or in the name of the Trust, a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable
      pursuant to Section 4.3 or to commence or participate in any other legal
      proceeding (including a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a
      Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle. If the Servicer commences or
      participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name, the Trust will
      thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such Receivable to the
      Servicer solely for purposes of commencing or participating in any such
      proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and
      empowered by the Trust to execute and deliver in the Servicer's name any
      notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other
      documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. The
      Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee will furnish the Servicer with any
      limited powers of attorney and other documents which the Servicer may
      reasonably request and which the Servicer deems necessary or appropriate
      and take any other steps which the Servicer may deem necessary or
      appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and
      administrative duties under this Agreement.

      Section 4.2 Collection of Receivable Payments; Modifications of
Receivables; Blocked Account Agreement.

            (a) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required
      by this Agreement, the Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect
      all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables
      as and when the same will become due, and will follow such collection
      procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable motor vehicle
      receivables that it services for itself or others and otherwise act with
      respect to the Receivables, the Dealer Agreements, the Dealer Assignments,
      the Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements, the Third-Party Lender
      Assignments, the Insurance Policies and the Other Conveyed Property in
      such manner as will, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize
      the amount to be received by the Trust with respect thereto. The Servicer
      is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late
      payment charge or any other similar fees that may be collected in the
      ordinary course of servicing any Receivable.

            (b) The Servicer may at any time agree to a modification or
      amendment of a Receivable (i) in order to change the Obligor's regular due
      date in accordance with its Servicing Policies and Procedures, (ii) in
      order to re-amortize the Scheduled Receivables Payments on the Receivable
      following a partial prepayment of principal or (iii) as may be required by
      law, in accordance with its customary procedures if the Servicer believes
      in good faith that such extension, modification or amendment is necessary
      to avoid a default on such Receivable, will maximize the amount to be
      received by the Trust with respect to such Receivable, and is otherwise in
      the best interests of the Trust; provided, however, that in no event may
      a Receivable be extended beyond the Collection Period
      immediately preceding the last Final Scheduled Distribution Date.

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

                  (i) The aggregate period of all extensions on a Receivable
does not exceed eight months;

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

                  (iii) The average Monthly Extension Rate for any three
consecutive Collection Periods does not exceed 4%;

                  (iv) The Servicer may not amend or modify a Receivable (except
as provided in Section 4.2(b) and this Section 4.2(c) or as otherwise required
by law) without the consent of the Insurer, so long as no Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing, or the Majority Noteholders (if an Insurer Default
has occurred and is continuing); and

                  (v) In no event may a Receivable be extended more than once
within a twelve month period.

                                       24
<PAGE>

            With respect to Section 4.2(c)(iii), in the event the average of the
Monthly Extension Rates calculated with respect to three consecutive Collection
Periods exceeds 4% (which information will be set forth in the related
Servicer's Certificate), the Servicer will, so long as the Servicer is not
Citibank, N.A., acting as Backup Servicer, on the third such Accounting Date,
purchase from the Trust the Receivables with respect to which payment had been
extended (starting with the Receivables most recently so extended) in an
aggregate Principal Balance equal to the product of (i) the excess of such
average of Monthly Extension Rates over 4% and (ii) the Aggregate Principal
Balance, and pay the related Purchase Amount on the related Determination Date;
provided, however, that in the event the Backup Servicer will be acting as
Servicer hereunder, the foregoing sentence will apply only in respect of
Receivables as to which payments had been extended by such Backup Servicer.

            (d) The Servicer will use its best efforts to notify or direct
      Obligors to make all payments on the Receivables, whether by check or by
      direct debit of the Obligor's bank account, to be made directly to one or
      more Processing Banks pursuant to a Blocked Account Agreement. The
      Servicer will use its best efforts to notify or direct any Processing Bank
      to deposit all payments on the Receivables in the Lockbox Account no later
      than the Business Day after receipt, and to cause all amounts credited to
      the Lockbox Account on account of such payments to be transferred to the
      Collection Account no later than the second Business Day after receipt of
      available funds with respect to such payments. The Lockbox Account will be
      a demand deposit account held by the Processing Bank.

            On the Closing Date, the Servicer will deposit or cause to be
deposited in immediately available funds into the Collection Account all amounts
collected with respect to the Receivables from the Cutoff Date to the fourth
(4th) Business Day preceding the Closing Date. As soon as possible thereafter
and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all amounts collected
with respect to the Receivables from such date to the Closing Date will be
deposited into the Collection Account.

            Notwithstanding any Blocked Account Agreement, or any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to the Blocked Account Agreement, the
Servicer will remain obligated and liable to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee
and Noteholders for servicing and administering the Receivables and the Other
Conveyed Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue thereof; provided, however,
that the foregoing will not apply to any Backup Servicer for so long as a
Processing Bank is performing its obligations pursuant to the terms of a Blocked
Account Agreement.

            If the Servicer is terminated, the successor Servicer will
assume all of the rights and obligations of the outgoing Servicer under the
Blocked Account Agreement subject to the terms hereof. In such event, the
successor Servicer will be deemed to have assumed all of the outgoing Servicer's
interest therein and to have replaced the outgoing Servicer as a party to each
such Blocked Account Agreement to the same extent as if such Blocked Account
Agreement had been assigned to the successor Servicer, except that the outgoing
Servicer will not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations on the
part of the outgoing Servicer to the Processing Bank under such Blocked Account
Agreement. The outgoing Servicer will, upon request of the Indenture Trustee,
but at the expense of the outgoing Servicer, deliver to the successor Servicer
all documents and records relating to each such Blocked Account Agreement and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by the Processing Bank and otherwise
use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any Blocked
Account Agreement to the successor Servicer. In the event that the Insurer (so
long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) or the Majority
Noteholders (if an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) elects to
change the identity of the Processing Bank, the outgoing Servicer, at its
expense, will cause the Processing Bank to deliver, at the direction of the
Insurer (so long as no

                                       25
<PAGE>

Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) or the Majority Noteholders (if
an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) to the Indenture Trustee or a
successor Processing Bank, all documents and records relating to the Receivables
and all amounts held (or thereafter received) by the Processing Bank (together
with an accounting of such amounts) and will otherwise use its best efforts to
effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the lockbox arrangements and the
Servicer will notify the Obligors to make payments to the Lockbox established by
the successor.

            (e) The Servicer will remit all payments by or on behalf of the
      Obligors received in the form of checks with payment coupons directly by
      the Servicer to the Processing Bank for deposit into the Collection
      Account, in either case, and as soon as practicable, but in no event later
      than the second Business Day after receipt thereof. Other payments
      received by each of the Servicer, Triad and the Depositor will be
      deposited into a local servicing account for processing immediately upon
      receipt, and then transferred in immediately available funds to the
      Lockbox Account for deposit to the Collection Account no later than the
      second (2nd) Business Day after receipt of available amounts.

      Section 4.3 Realization upon Receivables.

            (a) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required
      by this Agreement, the Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts
      to repossess (or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of) and
      liquidate any Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable with respect to which
      the Servicer has determined that payments thereunder are not likely to be
      resumed, as soon as is practicable after default on such Receivable but in
      no event later than the date on which 10% or more of a Scheduled
      Receivables Payment has become 91 days delinquent; provided, however, that
      the Servicer may elect not to repossess a Financed Vehicle within such
      time period if in its good faith judgment it determines that the proceeds
      ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would be increased
      by forbearance. The Servicer is authorized to follow such customary
      practices and procedures as it will deem necessary or advisable,
      consistent with the standard of care required by Section 4.1, which
      practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon
      any recourse to Dealers and Third-Party Lenders, the sale of the related
      Financed Vehicle at public or private sale, the submission of claims under
      an Insurance Policy and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize
      upon such a Receivable. The Servicer will have the discretion to retain or
      sell to a third-party any of the Liquidated Receivables. The foregoing is
      subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle
      will have suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in
      connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed
      Vehicle unless it will determine in its discretion that such repair and/or
      repossession will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related
      Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. All
      amounts received upon liquidation of a Financed Vehicle will be remitted
      by the Servicer to the Collection Account as soon as practicable, but in
      no event later than the second Business Day after receipt of available
      funds thereof. The Servicer will be entitled to recover all reasonable
      expenses incurred by it in the course of repossessing and liquidating a
      Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds, as provided in Section 5.7(a) or out
      of the cash proceeds of such Financed Vehicle, any deficiency obtained
      from the Obligor or any amounts received from the related Dealer or
      Third-Party Lender, which amounts in reimbursement may be retained by the
      Servicer (and

                                       26
<PAGE>

      will not be required to be deposited as provided in Section 4.2(e)) to the
      extent of such expenses. The Servicer will pay on behalf of the Trust any
      personal property taxes assessed on repossessed Financed Vehicles. The
      Servicer will be entitled to reimbursement of any such tax from Net
      Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Receivable.

            (b) If the Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce
      a Dealer Agreement, Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, Dealer
      Assignment or Third-Party Lender Assignment, the act of commencement will
      be deemed to be an automatic assignment from the Trust to the Servicer of
      the rights under such Dealer Agreement, Auto Loan Purchase and Sale
      Agreement, Dealer Assignment or Third-Party Lender Assignment for purposes
      of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal
      proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Dealer
      Agreement, Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, Dealer Assignment or
      Third-Party Lender Assignment on the grounds that it is not a real party
      in interest or a Person entitled to enforce the Dealer Agreement, Auto
      Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, Dealer Assignment or Third-Party Lender
      Assignment, the Owner Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee, at the
      Servicer's expense, will take such steps as the Servicer deems reasonably
      necessary to enforce the Dealer Agreement, Auto Loan Purchase and Sale
      Agreement, Dealer Assignment or Third-Party Lender Assignment, including
      bringing suit in its name or the name of the Trust and the Owner Trustee
      and/or the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer Secured
      Parties. All amounts recovered will be remitted directly by the Servicer
      as provided in Section 4.2(e).

      Section 4.4 Insurance.

            (a) The Servicer will require, in accordance with the Servicing
      Policies and Procedures, that each Financed Vehicle be insured by the
      related Obligor under the Insurance Policies referred to in Paragraph 24
      of the Schedule of Representations and Warranties. Each Receivable
      requires the Obligor to maintain such physical loss and damage insurance,
      naming Triad and its successors and assigns as additional insureds, and
      permits the holder of such Receivable to obtain physical loss and damage
      insurance at the expense of the Obligor if the Obligor fails to maintain
      such insurance. If the Servicer determines that an Obligor has failed to
      obtain or maintain a physical loss and damage Insurance Policy covering
      the related Financed Vehicle as described in Paragraph 24 (including
      during the repossession of such Financed Vehicle) the Servicer may enforce
      the rights of the holder of the Receivable under the Receivable to require
      the Obligor to obtain such physical loss and damage insurance in
      accordance with the Servicing Policies and Procedures. The Servicer may,
      at its sole option, maintain a vendor's single interest or other
      collateral protection insurance policy with respect to all Financed
      Vehicles ("Collateral Insurance") which policy by its terms
      insures against physical loss and damage in the event any Obligor fails to
      maintain physical loss and damage insurance with respect to the related
      Financed Vehicle. The parties acknowledge that the Servicer does not now
      have, nor does it intend to obtain, Collateral Insurance. All policies of
      Collateral Insurance will be endorsed with clauses providing for loss
      payable to the Servicer. Costs incurred by the Servicer in maintaining
      such Collateral Insurance will be paid by the Servicer.

            (b) The Servicer may, at its sole option, if an Obligor fails to
      obtain or maintain a physical loss and damage Insurance Policy, obtain
      insurance with respect to the related Financed Vehicle and advance on
      behalf of such Obligor, as required under the terms of the insurance
      policy, the premiums for such "force-placed" insurance. The parties hereto

                                       27
<PAGE>

      acknowledge that the Servicer does not now have, nor does it intend to
      obtain, force-placed insurance. All policies of force-placed insurance
      will be endorsed with clauses providing for loss payable to the Servicer.
      Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining such force-placed
      insurance will only be recoverable out of premiums paid by the Obligors or
      Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the Receivable, as provided in
      Section 4.4(c).

            In connection with any force-placed insurance obtained
hereunder, the Servicer may, in the manner and to the extent permitted by
applicable law, require the Obligors to repay the entire premium to the
Servicer. In no event will the Servicer include the amount of the premium in the
Amount Financed under the Receivable. "Insurance add-on amounts," which are the
premiums charged to Obligors in the event that the Servicer obtains force-placed
insurance, with respect to any Receivable will be treated as a separate
obligation of the Obligor and will not be added to the Principal Balance of such
Receivable, and amounts allocable thereto will not be available for distribution
on the Notes and the Certificates. The Servicer will retain and separately
administer the right to receive payments from Obligors with respect to insurance
add-on amounts or rebates of force-placed insurance premiums. If an Obligor
makes a payment with respect to a Receivable having force-placed insurance, but
the Servicer is unable to determine whether the payment is allocable to the
Receivable or to the insurance add-on amount, the payment will be applied first
to any unpaid Scheduled Receivables Payments and then to the insurance add-on
amount. Net Liquidation Proceeds on any Receivable will be used first to pay the
Principal Balance and accrued interest on such Receivable and then to pay the
related insurance add-on amount. If an Obligor under a Receivable with respect
to which the Servicer has placed force-placed insurance fails to make scheduled
payments of such insurance add-on amount as due, and the Servicer has determined
that eventual payment of the insurance add-on amount is unlikely, the Servicer
may, but will not be required to, purchase such Receivable from the Trust for
the Purchase Amount on any subsequent Determination Date. Any such Receivable,
and any Receivable with respect to which the Servicer has placed force-placed
insurance which has been paid in full (excluding any insurance add-on amounts)
will be assigned to the Servicer.

            (c) The Servicer may sue to enforce or collect upon the Insurance
      Policies, in its own name, if possible, or as agent of the Trust. If the
      Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce an Insurance
      Policy, the act of commencement will be deemed to be an automatic
      assignment of the rights of the Trust under such Insurance Policy to the
      Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement
      suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce an
      Insurance Policy on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or
      a holder entitled to enforce the Insurance Policy, the Owner Trustee
      and/or the Indenture Trustee, at the Servicer's expense, will take such
      steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce such Insurance Policy,
      including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Trust and the Owner
      Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.

            (d) The Servicer will cause itself and may cause the Indenture
      Trustee to be named as named insured under all policies of Collateral
      Insurance.

      Section 4.5 Maintenance of Security Interests in Vehicles.

            (a) Consistent with the policies and procedures required by this
      Agreement, the Servicer will take such steps on behalf of the Trust as are
      necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each
      Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle, including

                                       28
<PAGE>

      obtaining the execution by the Obligors and the recording, registering,
      filing, re-recording, re-filing, and re-registering of all security
      agreements, financing statements and continuation statements as are
      necessary to maintain the security interest granted by the Obligors under
      the respective Receivables. The Indenture Trustee hereby authorizes the
      Servicer, and the Servicer agrees, to take any and all steps necessary to
      re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Trust as necessary
      because of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason.
      In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Trust is
      insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle's
      certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative
      requirements under the laws of the state in which the Financed Vehicle is
      located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in
      favor of the Trust, the Servicer agrees that Triad's designation as the
      secured party on the certificate of title is in its capacity as Servicer
      as agent of the Trust.

            (b) Upon the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Event of Default,
      the Insurer may (so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is
      continuing) instruct the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer to take or
      cause to be taken, or, if an Insurer Default has occurred and is
      continuing, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the
      Indenture Trustee and the Servicer will take or cause to be taken such
      action as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Controlling Party, be
      necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security interests in the Financed
      Vehicles securing the Receivables in the name of the Trust by amending the
      title documents of such Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable
      means as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Controlling Party, be
      necessary or prudent.

            Triad hereby agrees to pay all expenses related to such perfection
or reperfection and to take all action necessary therefor. In addition, prior to
the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Event of Default, the Controlling Party
may instruct the Servicer to take or cause to be taken such action as may, in
the opinion of counsel to the Controlling Party, be necessary to perfect or
re-perfect the security interest in the Financed Vehicles underlying the
Receivables in the name of the Trust, including by amending the title documents
of such Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable means as may, in the
opinion of counsel to the Controlling Party, be necessary or prudent; provided,
however, that if the Controlling Party requests that the title documents be
amended prior to the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Event of Default, the
out-of-pocket expenses of the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee in connection
with such action will be reimbursed to the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, as
applicable, by the Controlling Party. Triad hereby appoints the Indenture
Trustee as its attorney-in-fact to execute certificates of title or any other
documents, prepared by the Servicer, in the name and stead of Triad (it being
understood that and agreed that the Indenture Trustee has no obligation to take
such steps with respect to any perfection or reperfection, except as pursuant to
the Basic Documents to which it is a party and for which Triad has paid all
expenses) and the Indenture Trustee hereby accepts such appointment.

            (c) Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, at the
      option of the Controlling Party, Triad shall be terminated as Custodian
      and all original receivable contracts and related title documents must be
      transferred to a successor custodian acceptable to the Controlling Party.

      Section 4.6 Covenants, Representations, and Warranties of Servicer. By its
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Servicer makes the following
representations, warranties and covenants on which the Issuer relies in
accepting the Receivables, on which the Indenture Trustee relies in
authenticating the Notes and on which the Insurer relies in issuing the Note
Policy.

                                       29
<PAGE>

            (a) The Servicer covenants as follows:

                  (i) Liens in Force. The Financed Vehicle securing each
Receivable will not be released in whole or in part from the security interest
granted by the Receivable, except upon payment in full of the Receivable or as
otherwise contemplated herein;

                  (ii) No Impairment. The Servicer will do nothing to impair the
rights of the Trust or the Noteholders in the Receivables, the Dealer
Agreements, the Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements, the Dealer Assignments,
the Third-Party Lender Assignments, the Insurance Policies or the Other Conveyed
Property except as otherwise expressly provided herein;

                  (iii) No Amendments. The Servicer will not extend or otherwise
amend the terms of any Receivable, except in accordance with Section 4.2; and

                  (iv) Restrictions on Liens. The Servicer will not (i) create,
incur or suffer to exist, or agree to create, incur or suffer to exist, or
consent to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or
otherwise) the creation, incurrence or existence of any Lien or restriction on
transferability of the Receivables except for the Lien in favor of the Indenture
Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer, and the restrictions
on transferability imposed by this Agreement or (ii) sign or file under the UCC
of any jurisdiction any financing statement which names Triad or the Servicer as
a debtor, or sign any security agreement authorizing any secured party
thereunder to file such financing statement, with respect to the Receivables or
Other Conveyed Property, except in each case any such instrument solely securing
the rights and preserving the Lien of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of
the Noteholders and the Insurer.

            (b) The Servicer represents, warrants and covenants as of the
      Closing Date as to itself that the representations and warranties set
      forth on the Schedule of Representations attached hereto as Schedule B are
      true and correct, provided that such representations and warranties
      contained therein and herein will not apply to any entity other than
      Triad.

      Section 4.7 Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Covenant. Upon
discovery by any of the Servicer, the Insurer, the Trust or a Responsible
Officer of the Indenture Trustee of a breach of any of the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in Sections 4.5(a) or 4.6, the party
discovering such breach will give prompt written notice to the others; provided,
however, that the failure to give any such notice will not affect any obligation
of Triad as Servicer under this Section 4.7. As of the second Accounting Date
following its discovery or receipt of notice of any breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant set forth in Sections 4.5(a) or 4.6 which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders or the Insurer
in any Receivable (including any Liquidated Receivable) (or, at Triad's
election, the first Accounting Date so following) or the related Financed
Vehicle, Triad will, unless such breach has been cured in all material respects,
purchase from the Trust the Receivable affected by such breach and, on the
related Determination Date, Triad will pay the related Purchase Amount. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of Triad to purchase any Receivable
(including any Liquidated Receivable) with respect to which such a breach has
occurred and is continuing will, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the
sole remedy against Triad for such breach available to the Insurer, the
Noteholders, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that
Triad will indemnify the Trust, the Backup Servicer, the Insurer, the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders from
and against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities,
including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against
or incurred by any of them as a result of third party claims

                                       30
<PAGE>

arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such breach. The
indemnification provided pursuant to this section will survive the removal or
resignation of the Indenture Trustee and or the Backup Servicer. In no event
shall Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as the Backup Servicer or successor
Servicer, be obligated to repurchase any Receivable pursuant to this Section
4.7.

      Section 4.8 Total Servicing Fee; Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer.
On each Distribution Date, the Servicer will be entitled to receive out of the
Collection Account the Base Servicing Fee and any Supplemental Servicing Fee for
the related Collection Period (together, the "Servicing Fee") pursuant to
Section 5.7. The Servicer will be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in
connection with its activities under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on
the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports
made by the Servicer to Noteholders or the Insurer and, to the extent not
provided for pursuant to Section 5.7, all other fees and out-of-pocket expenses
of the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee, except
taxes levied or assessed against the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Backup
Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, and claims against the Trust, the Owner
Trustee, the Backup Servicer or the Indenture Trustee in respect of
indemnification, which taxes and claims in respect of indemnification against
the Trust are expressly stated to be for the account of Triad). The Servicer
will, to the extent not provided for pursuant to Section 5.7, be liable for the
fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee, the Custodian, the Processing Bank (and any fees under the
Blocked Account Agreement) and the Independent Accountants, except taxes levied
or assessed against such parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer
is not Triad, a successor to Triad as Servicer including the Backup Servicer
permitted by Section 9.3 will not be liable for taxes levied or assessed against
the Trust or claims against the Trust in respect of indemnification, or the fees
and expenses referred to above.

      Section 4.9 Servicer's Certificate. No later than 11:00 a.m. New York City
time on each Determination Date, the Servicer will deliver (facsimile delivery
being acceptable; and in the case of the Servicer's Certificate to be delivered
to the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor and the Backup Servicer, an e-mail in a
computer file, the format of which will be agreed upon between the Servicer and
such parties) to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer,
the Insurer and each Rating Agency a Servicer's Certificate containing among the
other things set forth in Exhibit A, (i) all information necessary to enable the
Indenture Trustee to give any notice required by Section 6.1 and to make the
distributions required by Section 5.7, (ii) a listing of all Purchased
Receivables and Administrative Receivables purchased as of the related
Accounting Date, (iii) all information necessary to enable the Indenture Trustee
to send the statements to Noteholders and the Insurer required by Section 5.10,
(iv) the Delinquency Rate, Net Loss Rate and Cumulative Net Loss Ratio for such
Determination Date, and (v) whether to the knowledge of the Servicer an
Insurance Agreement Event of Default, a Spread Cap Event (as defined in the
Insurance Agreement) or a Trigger Event (as defined in the Insurance Agreement)
has occurred. Receivables purchased by the Servicer or by Triad on the related
Accounting Date and each Receivable that became a Liquidated Receivable or that
was paid in full during the related Collection Period will be identified by
account number (as set forth in the Schedule of Receivables).

      Section 4.10 Annual Statement as to Compliance, Notice of Servicer
Termination Event.

            (a) To the extent required by Regulation AB, the Servicer will
      deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer,
      the Insurer and each Rating Agency, on or before March 31 of each year (or
      90 days after the end of each calendar year), beginning on March 31, 2007,
      an Officer's Certificate, dated as of December 31 (or other

                                       31
<PAGE>

      applicable date) of the preceding year, stating that (i) a review of the
      Servicer's activities during the preceding calendar year (or such other
      period as has elapsed from the Closing Date to the date of the first such
      certificate) and of its performance under this Agreement has been made
      under such officer's supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer's
      knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its
      obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such
      reporting period, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such
      obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to
      such officer and the nature and status thereof.

            (b) The Servicer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner
      Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Insurer and each Rating Agency, on or
      before March 31 of each year (or 90 days after the end of each calendar
      year), beginning on March 31, 2007, a report, dated as of December 31 (or
      other applicable date) of the preceding year, on its assessment of
      compliance with the minimum servicing criteria during the preceding
      calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of
      non-compliance identified by the Servicer, as required by Rule 13a-18 and
      15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB.

            (c) If the Issuer is not required to file periodic reports under the
      Exchange Act or any other law, the reports referred to in this section may
      be delivered on or before April 30 of each calendar year (or 120 days
      after the end of each calendar year), beginning April 30, 2008.

            (d) The Servicer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner
      Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Insurer, and each Rating Agency,
      promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later
      than two (2) Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officer's
      Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time,
      or both, would become a Servicer Termination Event under Section 9.1.

      Section 4.11 Annual Independent Accountants' Report.

            (a) The Servicer will cause a firm of independent certified public
      accountants (the "Independent Accountants"), who may also render other
      services to the Servicer or to its Affiliates, to deliver to the Indenture
      Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Insurer and each
      Rating Agency, on or before March 31 (or 90 days after the end of the
      Servicer's fiscal year, if other than December 31) of each year, beginning
      on March 31, 2007, a report, dated as of December 31 of the preceding
      calendar year, addressed to the board of directors of the Servicer,
      providing its assessment of compliance with the minimum servicing criteria
      during the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material
      instance of non-compliance, as required by Rule 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the
      Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB. Such attestation will be
      in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under
      the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

            (b) If the Issuer is not required to file periodic reports under the
      Exchange Act or any other law, the reports referred to in this section may
      be delivered on or before April 30 of each calendar year (or 120 days
      after the end of calendar year), beginning April 30, 2008.

      Section 4.12 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
Receivables. The Servicer will upon reasonable prior notice provide to
representatives of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer
and the Insurer reasonable access to the documentation

                                       32
<PAGE>

regarding the Receivables. In each case, such access will be afforded without
charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours. Any
expense incident to the exercise by the Indenture Trustee, Owner Trustee, Backup
Servicer or the Insurer will be borne by the Servicer to the extent such visits
and examinations are not more frequent than once in any twelve-month period, or
a Servicer Termination Event has occurred and is continuing. Nothing in this
Section will affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law
prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of
the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 4.12 as a result of
such obligation will not constitute a breach of this Section 4.12.

      Section 4.13 Reserved.

      Section 4.14 Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Policy. The Servicer
will not be required to maintain an errors and omissions policy. The Servicer
will maintain a fidelity bond of a type and in an amount customary for servicers
engaged in the business of servicing motor vehicle receivables.

                                   ARTICLE V

            Trust Accounts; Distributions; Statements to Noteholders

      Section 5.1 Establishment of Trust Accounts.

            (a) (i) The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders and the
      Insurer, will establish and maintain in its own name one or more Eligible
      Deposit Accounts (collectively, the "Collection Account"), bearing a
      designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held
      for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and
      the Insurer. The Collection Account will initially be established with the
      Indenture Trustee.

                  (ii) The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders and
the Insurer, will establish and maintain in its own name an Eligible Deposit
Account (the "Note Distribution Account"), bearing a designation clearly
indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the
Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and the Insurer. The Note
Distribution Account will initially be established with the Indenture Trustee.

                  (iii) The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders and
the Insurer, will establish and maintain in its own name an Eligible Deposit
Account (the "Spread Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that
the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Indenture
Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and the Insurer. The Spread Account will
initially be established with the Indenture Trustee.

                  (iv) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Note
Distribution Account (but only to the extent of deposits therein for more than
one Business Day), and the Spread Account (collectively, the "Trust Accounts")
will be invested by the Indenture Trustee (or any custodian with respect to
funds on deposit in any such account) in Eligible Investments selected in
writing by the Servicer (pursuant to standing instructions or otherwise). All
such Eligible Investments will be held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee
for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer, as their interests arise.
Funds on deposit in any Trust Account will be invested in Eligible Investments
that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business
on

                                       33
<PAGE>

the Business Day immediately preceding the following Distribution Date. However,
if each of the Rating Agencies confirms that it would not affect the ratings
assigned to the Notes and the Insurer consents, funds on deposit in the Spread
Account may be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that funds
will be available on the following Distribution Date. All Eligible Investments
will be held to maturity.

            (b) All investment earnings of moneys deposited in the Trust
      Accounts will be deposited (or caused to be deposited) by the Indenture
      Trustee in the Collection Account, and any loss resulting from such
      investments will be charged to the applicable Trust Account. The Servicer
      will not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any funds
      held in any of the Trust Accounts unless the security interest granted and
      perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such
      investment, in either case without any further action by any Person.

            (c) The Indenture Trustee will not in any way be held liable by
      reason of any insufficiency in any of the Trust Accounts resulting from
      any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses
      attributable to the Indenture Trustee's negligence or bad faith or its
      failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the
      Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not
      as trustee, in accordance with their terms.

            (d) If (i) the Servicer fails to give investment directions in
      writing for any funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts to the Indenture
      Trustee by 1:00 p.m. New York City Time (or such other time as may be
      agreed by the Issuer and Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day; or (ii) a
      Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to
      the Notes but the Notes have not been declared due and payable, or, if
      such Notes will have been declared due and payable following an Event of
      Default, amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Property are being
      applied as if there had not been such a declaration; then the Indenture
      Trustee will, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds
      in the Trust Accounts in the investment described in clause (d) of the
      definition of Eligible Investments.

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

                  (ii) With respect to the Trust Account Property, the Indenture
Trustee agrees that:

                                       34
<PAGE>

                        (A) any Trust Account Property that is held in deposit
accounts will be held solely in the Eligible Deposit Accounts; and, except as
otherwise provided herein, each such Eligible Deposit Account will be subject to
the exclusive custody and control of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture
Trustee will have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

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

                        (C) the "securities intermediary's jurisdiction," for
purposes of Section 8-110 of the UCC, shall be the State of New York.

            (f) The Servicer will have the power, revocable by the Insurer or,
      with the consent of the Insurer, by the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the
      Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Trust Accounts
      for the purpose of permitting the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee to
      carry out its respective duties hereunder.

      Section 5.2 [Reserved].

      Section 5.3 Certain Reimbursements to the Servicer. The Servicer will be
entitled to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with
respect to a Collection Period for amounts previously deposited in the
Collection Account but later determined by the Servicer to have resulted from
mistaken deposits or postings or checks returned for insufficient funds. To the
extent that such amounts are owed to the Processing Bank, the Servicer will
cause such amounts to be returned to the Processing Bank. The amount to be
reimbursed hereunder will be paid to the Servicer on the related Distribution
Date pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(i) upon certification by the Servicer of such
amounts and the provision of such information to the Indenture Trustee and the
Insurer as may be necessary in the opinion of the Insurer to verify the accuracy
of such certification; provided, however, that the Servicer must provide such
clarification within 12 months of such mistaken deposit, posting, or returned
check. In the event that the Insurer has not received evidence satisfactory to
it of the Servicer's entitlement to reimbursement pursuant to this Section 5.3,
the Insurer will (unless an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) give
the Indenture Trustee notice in writing to such effect, following receipt of
which the Indenture Trustee will not make a distribution to the Servicer in
respect of such amount pursuant to Section 5.7, or if the Servicer prior thereto
has been reimbursed pursuant to Section 5.7, the Indenture Trustee will withhold
such amounts from amounts otherwise distributable to the Servicer on the next
succeeding Distribution Date. The Servicer will additionally be entitled to
receive from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to a
Collection Period any amounts paid by Obligors that were collected in the
Lockbox Account but that do not relate to (i) principal and interest payments
due on the Receivables and (ii) any Supplemental Servicing Fees.

      Section 5.4 Application of Collections. All collections for the Collection
Period will be applied by the Servicer as follows:

            With respect to each Receivable (other than a Purchased
Receivable), payments by or on behalf of the Obligor (other than Supplemental
Servicing Fees with respect to such Receivable, to the extent collected) will be
applied to interest and principal in accordance with the Simple Interest Method.

                                       35
<PAGE>

            All amounts collected that are payable to the Servicer as
Supplemental Servicing Fees hereunder will be deposited in the Collection
Account and paid to the Servicer in accordance with Section 5.7(a).

      Section 5.5 Spread Account.

            (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit an
      amount equal to the Spread Account Initial Deposit into the Spread Account
      from the proceeds of the Notes. On each Distribution Date, to the extent
      of funds available therefor pursuant to the priority of payments, amounts
      will be deposited into the Spread Account in accordance with Section
      5.7(a)(ix) until the amount on deposit therein is equal to the Spread
      Account Requirement.

            (b) In the event that the Servicer's Certificate with respect to any
      Determination Date states that there is a Spread Account Draw Amount, then
      on the related Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee will withdraw such
      Spread Account Draw Amount from the Spread Account to the extent of funds
      on deposit therein and deposit such amount into the Collection Account for
      distribution in accordance with Section 5.7(a).

            (c) After considering all required distributions made on a
      Distribution Date, amounts on deposit in the Spread Account on that
      Distribution Date that are in excess of the Spread Account Requirement for
      that Distribution Date will be applied by the Indenture Trustee in
      accordance with Section 5.7(a)(vii), then 5.7(a)(x) through (xii).

      Section 5.6 Additional Deposits.

            (a) The Servicer and Triad, as applicable, will deposit or cause to

                  (vi) to the Insurer, any unpaid amounts owed to the Insurer
under the Insurance Agreement with respect to unpaid Premiums and unreimbursed

                  (vii) to the Insurer, so long as no Insurer Default has

                  (ix) to the Spread Account, any amount required to increase
the amount in the Spread Account to the Spread Account Requirement;

                  (x) to the Insurer, if an Insurer Default has occurred or is

case, for payment to the Class A Noteholders; and

                  (xii) to make a payment of all remaining amounts to the
Certificateholders.

            (b) On each Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee will (based
      solely on the information contained in the Servicer's Certificate
      delivered with respect to the related Determination Date, unless the
      Insurer has notified the Indenture Trustee in writing of any errors or
      deficiencies with respect thereto) distribute from the Collection Account
      the Additional Funds Available, if any, plus any amounts paid by the
      Insurer under the terms of the Note Policy, if any, in each case then on
      deposit in the Collection Account, and deposit in the Note Distribution
      Account the excess, if any, of the Scheduled Payments (as defined in

                                       37
<PAGE>

      the Note Policy) due on such Distribution Date over the amount of all
      Available Funds previously deposited in the Note Distribution Account with
      respect to the related Distribution Date, which amount will be applied
      solely to the payment of amounts then due and unpaid on the Class A Notes
      in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5.8(a).

            (c) In the event that the Collection Account is maintained with an
      institution other than the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer will instruct
      and cause such institution to make all deposits and distributions pursuant
      to Sections 5.7(a) and 5.7(b) on the related Distribution Date.

      Section 5.8 Note Distribution Account.

            (a) On each Distribution Date (based solely on the information
      contained in the Servicer's Certificate) the Indenture Trustee will
      distribute all amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account to
      Noteholders in respect of the Notes to the extent of amounts due and
      unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest in the following amounts:

            - From amounts transferred pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(iii), accrued
      and unpaid interest on the Class A Notes; provided that if such amount is
      insufficient to pay the entire amount of accrued and unpaid interest then
      due on each Class of Class A Notes, the amount in the Note Distribution
      Account will be applied to the payment of such interest on each Class of
      Class A Notes pro rata on the basis of the amount of accrued and unpaid
      interest due on each Class of Class A Notes.

            - From amounts transferred pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(iv), (v),
      (viii), and (xi), in the following order of priority:

                  (1) to the holders of the Class A-1 Notes, the total amount
            paid out on each Distribution Date until the outstanding principal
            balance of the Class A-1 Notes has been reduced to zero;

                  (2) to the holders of the Class A-2 Notes, the total amount
            paid out on each Distribution Date until the outstanding principal
            balance of the Class A-2 Notes has been reduced to zero;

                  (3) to the holders of the Class A-3 Notes, the total amount
            paid out on each Distribution Date until the outstanding principal
            balance of the Class A-3 Notes has been reduced to zero; and

                  (4) to the holders of the Class A-4 Notes, the total amount
            paid out on each Distribution Date until the outstanding principal
            balance of the Class A-4 Notes is reduced to zero;

provided, that after the acceleration of the Notes following the occurrence of
an Event of Default under the Indenture, payments of principal on the Notes will
be made, instead of as provided above after payment of all amounts owing to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7 of the Indenture, first to the Class
A-1 Notes until the Class A-1 Notes have been paid in full, and second to the
other Classes of Class A Notes pro rata until they are paid in full.

                                       38

            (b) On each Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee will post on
      its website at http://www.sf.citidirect.com., which posting will be
      accessible to each Noteholder and to the Insurer, the statement provided
      to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.10 hereof
      on such Distribution Date.

            (c) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust's
      payment (or allocations of income) to a Noteholder, such tax will reduce
      the amount otherwise distributable to the Noteholder in accordance with
      this Section 5.8. The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and directed
      to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Noteholders
      sufficient funds for the payment of any withholding tax attributable to
      the Trust (but such authorization will not prevent the Indenture Trustee
      from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding
      payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such
      proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a
      Noteholder will be treated as cash distributed to such Noteholder at the
      time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing
      authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with
      respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S.
      Noteholder), the Indenture Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold
      such amounts in accordance with this Section 5.8(c). In the event that a
      Noteholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the
      Indenture Trustee will reasonably cooperate with such Noteholder in making
      such claim so long as such Noteholder agrees to reimburse the Indenture
      Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees and expenses)
      incurred.

            (d) Distributions required to be made to Noteholders on any
      Distribution Date will be made to each Noteholder of record on the related
      Record Date either by wire transfer, or by check mailed to such
      Noteholder, as provided in Section 2.7 of the Indenture.

            (e) Subject to Section 5.1 and this Section 5.8, monies received by
      the Indenture Trustee hereunder need not be segregated in any manner
      except to the extent required by law and may be deposited under such
      general conditions as may be prescribed by law, and the Indenture Trustee
      will not be liable for any interest thereon.

      Section 5.9 Reserved.

      Section 5.10 Statements to Noteholders.

            (a) On each Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee will make
      available to each Noteholder and to the Insurer and the Rating Agencies a
      statement setting forth at least the following information (which will be
      included in the Servicer's Certificate delivered to the Indenture Trustee)
      to the extent applicable:

                  (i) the amount of such distribution allocable to principal of
each Class of Notes;

                  (ii) the amount of such distribution allocable to interest on

                  (iii) the amount of such distribution payable out of amounts
withdrawn from the Spread Account or pursuant to a claim on the Note Policy;

                                       39
<PAGE>

                  (iv) the Pool Balance as of the close of business on the last
day of the preceding Collection Period;

                  (v) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each
Class of the Notes and the Note Pool Factor for each such Class after giving
effect to payments allocated to principal reported under Section 5.10(a)(i);

                  (vi) the amount of the Servicing Fee paid to the Servicer with
respect to the related Collection Period and/or due but unpaid with respect to
such Collection Period or prior Collection Periods, as the case may be;

                  (vii) the Class A Noteholders' Interest Carryover Amount and
the Class A Noteholders' Principal Carryover Amount, if any;

                  (viii) the Delinquency Rate with respect to such Distribution
Date;

                  (ix) the Net Loss Rate and Cumulative Net Loss Ratio with
respect to such Distribution Date; and

                  (x) the aggregate Purchase Amounts for Receivables, if any,
that were repurchased by Triad or the Servicer on or prior to the related
Determination Date.

Each amount set forth pursuant to Section 5.10(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (vi) and
(vii) will be expressed as a dollar amount per $1,000 of the initial principal
balance of the Notes (or Class thereof).

            (b) The Indenture Trustee will make the statements referred to in
      Section 5.10(a) (and, at its option, any additional files containing the
      same information in an alternative format) available each month via the
      Indenture Trustee's internet website, which is presently located at
      http://www.sf.citidirect.com. Persons that are entitled to receive such
      statements but are unable to use the above website are entitled to have a
      paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the Indenture
      Trustee at 1-800-422-2066. The Indenture Trustee will have the right to
      change the way the statements referred to in Section 5.10(a) are
      distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more
      accessible to the parties entitled to receive such statements. The
      Indenture Trustee will provide notification of any such change to all
      parties entitled to receive such statements in the manner described in
      Section 12.3, Section 11.4 of the Indenture or Section 11.5 of the
      Indenture, as appropriate.

      Section 5.11 Optional Deposits by the Insurer. The Insurer will at any
time, and from time to time, with respect to a Distribution Date, have the
option (but will not be required, except in accordance with the terms of the
Note Policy) to deliver an Insurer Optional Deposit to the Indenture Trustee for
deposit into the Collection Account.

                                The Note Policy

      Section 6.1 Claims Under Note Policy.

            (a) In the event that the Servicer's Certificate with respect to any
      Determination Date states that there is a Deficiency Amount with respect
      to the related Distribution Date

                                       40
<PAGE>

      which is greater than zero, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the
      Insurer no later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the second Business
      Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date a completed Notice of
      Claim (as defined in (b) below) in the amount of the Deficiency Amount.
      Amounts paid by the Insurer pursuant to a claim submitted under this
      Section shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee into the Note
      Distribution Account for payment to Holders (as defined in the Note
      Policy) on the related Distribution Date.

            (b) Any notice delivered by the Indenture Trustee to the Insurer in
      the form attached as Exhibit A to the Note Policy pursuant to Section
      6.1(a) shall specify the Deficiency Amount claimed under the Note Policy
      and shall constitute a "Notice of Claim" under the Note Policy. In
      accordance with the provisions of the Note Policy, the
      Insurer is required to pay to the Indenture Trustee the Deficiency Amount
      properly claimed thereunder by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
      later of (i) the second Business Day following receipt in New York, New
      York on a Business Day of the Notice of Claim, or (ii) the applicable
      Distribution Date. Any payment made by the Insurer under the Note Policy
      shall be applied solely to the payment of the Notes, and for no other
      purpose.

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

            (d) The Indenture Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record
      of all funds deposited into the Note Distribution Account with respect to
      the Note Policy and the allocation of such funds to payment of interest on
      and principal paid in respect of any Note. The Insurer shall have the
      right to inspect such records at reasonable times upon one Business Day's
      prior notice to the Indenture Trustee.

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

      Section 6.2 Preference Claims Under Note Policy.

            (a) In the event that the Indenture Trustee has received a certified
      copy of an order of the appropriate court that any payment paid on a Note
      has been avoided in whole or in part as a preference payment under
      applicable bankruptcy law pursuant to a final nonappealable order of a
      court having competent jurisdiction, the Indenture Trustee shall so notify
      the Insurer, shall comply with the provisions of the Note Policy to obtain
      payment by the Insurer of such avoided payment, and shall, at the time it
      provides notice to the Insurer, notify Holders of the Notes by mail that,
      in the event that any Holder's payment is so recoverable, such Holder will
      be entitled to payment pursuant to the terms of the Note Policy. The
      Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Insurer its records evidencing the
      payments of principal of and interest on Notes, if any, which have been
      made by the Indenture Trustee and subsequently recovered from Holders, and
      the dates on which such payments were made. Pursuant to the terms of the
      Note Policy, the Insurer will make such payment on behalf of the Holder to
      the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy
      named in the order and not to the Indenture Trustee or any Holder directly
      (unless a Holder has previously paid such payment to the receiver,
      conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy, in which case
      the Insurer will make such payment to the Indenture Trustee for
      distribution to such Holder upon proof of such payment reasonably
      satisfactory to the Insurer).

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

      Section 6.3 Surrender of Note Policy. The Indenture Trustee will surrender
the Note Policy to the Insurer for cancellation upon the expiration of such
policy in accordance with the terms thereof.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                 The Depositor

      Section 7.1 Representations of Depositor. The Depositor makes the
following representations on which the Insurer will be deemed to have relied in
executing and delivering the Note Policy and on which the Issuer is deemed to
have relied in acquiring the Receivables and on which the Indenture Trustee and
Backup Servicer may rely. The representations are true and correct

                                       42
<PAGE>

as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date,
in the case of Receivables, and will survive the sale of the Receivables to the
Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture.

            (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Depositor has been duly
      organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good
      standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and authority
      to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are
      currently owned and such business is currently conducted, and had at all
      relevant times, and now has, limited liability company power, authority
      and legal right to acquire, own and sell the Receivables and the Other
      Conveyed Property transferred to the Trust.

            (b) Due Qualification. The Depositor is duly qualified to do
      business as a foreign limited liability company in good standing and has
      obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions where
      the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the Depositor's
      ability to transfer the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property to the
      Trust pursuant to this Agreement, or the validity or enforceability of the
      Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property or to perform the Depositor's
      obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is a party.

            (c) Power and Authority. The Depositor has the power and authority
      to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which it is a party and to
      carry out their respective terms; the Depositor has full power and
      authority to sell and assign the Receivables and the Other Conveyed
      Property to be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Trust by it and
      has duly authorized such sale and assignment to the Trust by all necessary
      action; and the execution, delivery and performance of the Basic Documents
      to which it is a party have been duly authorized by the Depositor by all
      necessary action.

            (d) Valid Sale, Binding Obligations. This Agreement effects a valid
      sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed
      Property, enforceable against the Depositor and creditors of and
      purchasers from the Depositor; and the Basic Documents to which the
      Depositor is a party, when duly executed and delivered, will constitute
      legal, valid and binding obligations of the Depositor enforceable in
      accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be
      limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws
      affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by equitable
      limitations on the availability of specific remedies, regardless of
      whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
      law.

            (e) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated
      by the Basic Documents and the fulfillment of the terms of the Basic
      Documents to which the Depositor is a party will not conflict with, result
      in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of or constitute (with or

obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or will be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of the Basic Documents and each other instrument or agreement
necessary or appropriate to the proper administration of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby.

      Section 7.3 Liability of Depositor. The Depositor will be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically

cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the
Depositor under this Agreement, will be the successor to the Depositor hereunder

parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Depositor will have
delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Insurer an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel,
either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments
thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and
protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in
the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property and reciting the details of such

expressly provided herein or in any Basic Document.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

representations on which the Insurer is deemed to have relied in executing and
delivering the Note Policy and on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in
acquiring the Receivables and on which the Indenture Trustee and the Backup
Servicer may rely. The representations are true and correct as of the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, in the case of the
Receivables, and will survive the sale of the Receivables to the Issuer and the
pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

            (a) Representations and Warranties. The representations and
      warranties set forth on the Schedule of Representations attached hereto as
      Schedule B are true and correct;

      perform its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is a party;

            (c) Due Qualification. The Servicer is duly qualified to do business
      as a foreign corporation in good standing and has obtained all necessary
      licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or
      lease of property or the conduct of its business of servicing the
      Receivables as required by this Agreement requires or will require such
      qualification;

            (d) Power and Authority. The Servicer has the corporate power and
      authority to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which it is a
      party and to carry out their respective terms, and the execution, delivery
      and performance of the Basic Documents to which it is a party have been
      duly authorized by the Servicer by all necessary corporate action;

            (e) Binding Obligation. The Basic Documents to which the Servicer is
      a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Servicer
      enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as
      enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
      or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
      generally and by equitable limitations on the availability of specific
      remedies, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
      proceeding in equity or at law;

                                       45
<PAGE>

            (f) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated
      by the Basic Documents, and the fulfillment of the terms of the Basic
      Documents, will not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the
      terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of
      time) a default under, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the
      Servicer, or any indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other
      instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it is bound, or
      result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its
      properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement,
      mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument, other than the Basic
      Documents, or violate any law, order, rule or regulation applicable to the
      Servicer of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body,
      administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having
      jurisdiction over the Servicer or any of its properties;

            (g) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations
      pending or, to the Servicer's best knowledge, threatened against the
      Servicer, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or
      other tribunal or governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over
      the Servicer or its properties (A) asserting the invalidity of any of the
      Basic Documents, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Securities or
      the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by any of the
      Basic Documents, or (C) seeking any determination or ruling that might
      materially and adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of its
      obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, any of the Basic
      Documents or (D) seeking to adversely affect the federal income tax or
      other federal, state or local tax attributes of the Securities;

            (h) No Consents. The Servicer is not required to obtain the consent
      of any other party or any consent, license, approval or authorization, or
      registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or
      agency in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity
      or enforceability of this Agreement which has not already been obtained.

      Section 8.2 Liability of Servicer; Indemnities.

            (a) The Servicer (in its capacity as such) will be liable hereunder
      only to the extent of the obligations in this Agreement specifically
      undertaken by the Servicer and the representations made by the Servicer.

            (b) The Servicer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Trust,
      the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Backup
      Servicer, the Insurer, their respective officers, directors, agents and
      employees, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders from and against any
      and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities,
      including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of
      litigation (i) arising out of or resulting from the use, ownership or
      operation by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof of any Financed Vehicle
      or (ii) to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, or
      liability arose out of, or was imposed upon the Trust, the Indenture
      Trustee, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the
      Insurer, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders by reason of the breach
      of this Agreement by the Servicer, the negligence (other than errors in
      judgment), misfeasance, or bad faith of the Servicer in the performance of
      its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of its
      obligations and duties under this Agreement.

                                       46
<PAGE>

            (c) Indemnification under this Section 8.2 will include, without
      limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of
      litigation. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to
      this Section 8.2 and the recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts
      from others, the recipient will promptly repay such amounts collected to
      the Servicer, without interest.

            (d) The Servicer will pay, reimburse and indemnify the Indenture
      Trustee and the Backup Servicer in accordance with Section 6.7 of the
      Indenture.

      Section 8.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations
of the Servicer or Backup Servicer.

            (a) The Servicer will not merge or consolidate with any other
      person, convey, transfer or lease substantially all its assets as an
      entirety to another Person, or permit any other Person to become the
      successor to the Servicer's business unless, after the merger,
      consolidation, conveyance, transfer, lease or succession, the successor or
      surviving entity will be capable of fulfilling the duties of the Servicer
      contained in this Agreement and, subject to Section 4.6 of the Insurance
      Agreement, will be acceptable to the Controlling Party, and, if an Insurer
      Default has occurred or is continuing, will be an Eligible Servicer. Any
      corporation (i) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated,
      (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer will
      be a party, (iii) which acquires by conveyance, transfer, or lease
      substantially all of the assets of the Servicer, or (iv) succeeding to the
      business of the Servicer, in any of the foregoing cases will execute an
      agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer under
      this Agreement and, whether or not such assumption agreement is executed,
      will be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without the
      execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of
      the parties to this Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the contrary
      notwithstanding; provided, however, that nothing contained herein will be
      deemed to release the Servicer from any obligation. The Servicer will
      provide notice of any merger, consolidation or succession pursuant to this
      Section 8.3 to the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee,
      the Noteholders, the Insurer and each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, the Servicer will not merge or consolidate with any other
      Person or permit any other Person to become a successor to the Servicer's
      business, unless (x) immediately after giving effect to such transaction,
      no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 4.6 will have been
      breached (for purposes hereof, such representations and warranties will be
      true and correct as of the date of the consummation of such transaction)
      and no Servicer Termination Event has occurred and is continuing other
      than in connection with a change in control as provided in the Insurance
      Agreement, (y) the Servicer will have delivered to the Owner Trustee, the
      Indenture Trustee, Backup Servicer, the Rating Agencies and the Insurer an
      Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such
      consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption
      comply with this Section 8.3 and that all conditions precedent, if any,
      provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been
      complied with, and (z) the Servicer will have delivered to the Owner
      Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Insurer an
      Opinion of Counsel, stating in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all
      financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto
      have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect
      the interest of the Trust in the Receivables and the Other Conveyed
      Property and reciting the details of the filings or (B) no such action
      will be necessary to preserve and protect such interest.

                                       47
<PAGE>

            (b) Any corporation (i) into which the Backup Servicer may be merged
      or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which
      the Backup Servicer will be a party, (iii) which acquires by conveyance,
      transfer or lease substantially all of the assets of the Backup Servicer,
      or (iv) succeeding to the business of the Backup Servicer, in any of the
      foregoing cases will execute an agreement of assumption to perform every
      obligation of the Backup Servicer under this Agreement and, whether or not
      such assumption agreement is executed, will be the successor to the Backup
      Servicer under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper
      or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement,
      anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding; provided,
      however, that nothing contained herein will be deemed to release the
      Backup Servicer from any obligation.

      Section 8.4 Limitation on Liability of Servicer, Backup Servicer and
Others.

            (a) Neither the Servicer, the Backup Servicer nor any of the
      directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer or Backup
      Servicer will be liable to the Trust or the Noteholders, except as
      provided in this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from
      the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however,
      that this provision will not protect the Servicer, the Backup Servicer or
      any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by
      reason of a breach of this Agreement or willful misfeasance, bad faith or
      negligence (excluding errors in judgment) in the performance of duties;
      provided further that this provision will not affect any liability of
      Triad to indemnify the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee for costs,
      taxes, expenses, claims, liabilities, losses or damages paid by the
      Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, in their individual capacities
      pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Servicer, the Backup Servicer and
      any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer or Backup
      Servicer may rely in good faith on the written advice of counsel or on any
      document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any
      Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

            (b) The Backup Servicer will not be liable for any obligation of the
      Servicer contained in this Agreement or for any errors of the Servicer
      contained in any computer file, certificate or other data or document
      delivered to the Backup Servicer hereunder or on which the Backup Servicer
      must rely in order to perform its obligations hereunder, and the Owner
      Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Depositor and the
      Insurer and the Noteholders will look only to the Servicer to perform such
      obligations. The Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee
      and the Custodian will have no responsibility and will not be in default
      hereunder or incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or
      any delay in carrying out any of their respective duties under this
      Agreement if such failure or delay results from the Backup Servicer acting
      in accordance with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than
      the Backup Servicer (or contractual agents of the Backup Servicer) or the
      failure of any such other Person to prepare or provide such information.
      The Backup Servicer will have no responsibility, will not be in default
      and will incur no liability for (i) any act or failure to act of any third
      party (other than its contractual agents), including the Servicer or the
      Controlling Party, (ii) any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or
      communication received by the Backup Servicer from any third party (other
      than its contractual agents), (iii) the invalidity or unenforceability of
      any Receivable under applicable law, (iv) the breach or inaccuracy of any
      representation or warranty made with respect to any Receivable, or (v) the
      acts or omissions of any successor Backup Servicer. The provisions of this
      Section 8.4(b) will not limit the Backup Servicer's obligations pursuant
      to Section 4.14.

                                       48

            (c) The parties expressly acknowledge and consent to Citibank, N.A.
      acting in the possible dual capacity of Backup Servicer or successor
      Servicer and in the capacity as Indenture Trustee. Citibank, N.A. may, in
      such dual or other capacity, discharge its separate functions fully,
      without hindrance or regard to conflict of interest principles, duty of
      loyalty principles or other breach of fiduciary duties to the extent that
      any such conflict or breach arises from the performance by Citibank, N.A.
      of express duties set forth in the this Agreement in any of such
      capacities, all of which defenses, claims or assertions are hereby
      expressly waived by the other parties hereto and the Noteholders except in
      the case of gross negligence and willful misconduct by Citibank, N.A.

      Section 8.5 Delegation of Duties. The Servicer may delegate duties under
this Agreement to an Affiliate of Triad with the prior written consent of the
Insurer (unless an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing). The Servicer
also may at any time perform through sub-contractors the specific duties of (i)
repossession of Financed Vehicles, (ii) tracking Financed Vehicles' Lien
Certificates and (iii) pursuing the collection of deficiency balances or other
amounts due on certain Liquidated Receivables, in each case, without the consent
of the Insurer and may perform other specific collection and repossession duties
through such sub-contractors in accordance with Servicer's customary servicing
policies and procedures; provided, however, that no such delegation or
sub-contracting of duties by the Servicer will relieve the Servicer of its
responsibility with respect to such duties. So long as no Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing neither Triad nor any party acting as Servicer
hereunder will appoint any subservicer hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Insurer.

      Section 8.6 Servicer and Backup Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to Section
8.3, neither the Servicer nor the Backup Servicer may resign from the
obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as Servicer or Backup
Servicer except upon a determination that by reason of a change in legal
requirements the performance of its duties under this Agreement would cause it
to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which would have a
material adverse effect on the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as the case may
be, and the Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default has not occurred) or the
Majority Noteholders (if an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) does
not elect to waive the obligations of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as
the case may be, to perform the duties which render it legally unable to act or
to delegate those duties to another Person. Any such determination permitting
the resignation of the Servicer or Backup Servicer will be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered at other than the Indenture
Trustee's expense, and acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee
and the Insurer (unless an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing). No
resignation of the Servicer will become effective until, so long as no Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Backup Servicer or an entity
acceptable to the Insurer has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of
the Servicer or, if an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer that is an Eligible Servicer has assumed
the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer. No resignation of the
Backup Servicer will become effective until, so long as no Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing, an entity acceptable to the Insurer has assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of the Backup Servicer or, if an Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing, a Person that is an Eligible Servicer
has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Backup Servicer;
provided, however, that (i) in the event a successor Backup Servicer is not
appointed within 60 days after the Backup Servicer has given notice of its
resignation and has provided the Opinion of Counsel required by this Section
8.6, the Backup Servicer may petition a court for its removal, (ii) the Backup
Servicer may resign with the written consent of the Insurer and (iii)
notwithstanding anything to the

                                       49
<PAGE>

contrary, if Citibank, N.A. resigns or is removed as the Indenture Trustee under
the Indenture it will no longer be the Backup Servicer.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                     Default

      Section 9.1 Servicer Termination Event. For purposes of this Agreement,
each of the following will constitute a "Servicer Termination Event":

            (a) Any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee
      for distribution to Noteholders any proceeds or payment required to be so
      delivered under this Agreement that continues unremedied for a period of
      two Business Days (one Business Day with respect to payment of Purchase
      Amounts) after written notice is received by the Servicer from the
      Indenture Trustee or (unless an Insurer Default has occurred and is
      continuing) the Insurer or after discovery of such failure by a
      Responsible Officer of the Servicer;

            (b) Failure by the Servicer to deliver the Servicer's Certificate by
      the Determination Date;

            (c) Failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform
      any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this
      Agreement or, if the Servicer is Triad, failure of Triad duly to perform
      any other covenants or agreements of Triad set forth in the Purchase
      Agreement which failure (i) materially and adversely affects the rights of
      Noteholders (determined without regard to the availability of funds under
      the Note Policy), or of the Insurer (unless an Insurer Default has
      occurred and is continuing), and (ii) continues unremedied for a period of
      30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring
      the same to be remedied, has been given to the Servicer by the Indenture
      Trustee, the Issuer or the Insurer (or, if an Insurer Default has occurred
      and is continuing, by any Noteholder);

            (d) An Insolvency Event has occurred with respect to the Servicer;

            (e) Any representation, warranty or statement of the Servicer made
      in this Agreement or any certificate, report or other writing delivered
      pursuant hereto will prove to be incorrect in any material respect as of
      the time when the same will have been made, and the incorrectness of such
      representation, warranty or statement has a material adverse effect on the
      Trust, the Insurer or the Noteholders' interests and, within 30 days after
      knowledge thereof by the Servicer or after written notice thereof will
      have been given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer
      (or, if an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, a Noteholder),
      the circumstances or conditions in respect of which such representation,
      warranty or statement was incorrect will not have been eliminated or
      otherwise cured;

            (f) So long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, an
      Insurance Agreement Event of Default occurs;

            (g) A claim is made under the Note Policy; or

            (h) The occurrence of a Trigger Event under the Insurance Agreement.

      Section 9.2 Consequences of a Servicer Termination Event. If a Servicer
Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Insurer may (or, if an
Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee (to the
extent it has knowledge thereof) may, and will at the direction of the Majority
Noteholders), by notice given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture
Trustee if given by the Insurer) terminate all of the rights and obligations of
the Servicer under this Agreement; provided that if no Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Majority
Noteholders may deliver such notice, and termination will be in the Insurer's
sole and absolute discretion. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such
written notice all authority, power, obligations and responsibilities of the
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the
Certificates or the Other Conveyed Property or otherwise, automatically will
pass to, be vested in and become obligations and responsibilities of the Backup
Servicer (or such other successor Servicer appointed by the Controlling Party);
provided, however, that the successor Servicer will have no liability with
respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the terminated
Servicer prior to the date that the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or
any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the
terminated Servicer. The successor Servicer is authorized and empowered by this
Agreement to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Servicer, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and
to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property and related
documents to show the Trust as lienholder or secured party on the related Lien
Certificates, or otherwise. The terminated Servicer agrees to cooperate with the
Controlling Party and the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement,
including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all
cash amounts that will at the time be held by the terminated Servicer for
deposit, or have been deposited by the terminated Servicer, in the Collection
Account or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables and the delivery
to the successor Servicer of all Receivable Files, Monthly Records and
Collection Records and a computer tape in readable form as of the most recent
Business Day containing all information necessary to enable the successor
Servicer to service the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property. If
requested by the Controlling Party, the successor Servicer will terminate the
Blocked Account Agreement and direct the Obligors to make all payments under the
Receivables directly to the successor Servicer (in which event the successor
Servicer will process such payments in accordance with Section 4.2(e)), or to a
lockbox established by the successor Servicer at the direction of the
Controlling Party, at the successor Servicer's expense. The terminated Servicer
will grant the Indenture Trustee, the successor Servicer and the Controlling
Party reasonable access to the terminated Servicer's premises at the terminated
Servicer's expense.

      Section 9.3 Appointment of Successor.

            (a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of
      termination pursuant to Section 9.2, or upon the resignation of the
      Servicer pursuant to Section 8.6, the Backup Servicer (unless the
      Controlling Party will have exercised its option pursuant to Section
      9.3(b) to appoint an alternate successor Servicer) will be the successor
      in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this
      Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for in this
      Agreement, and will be subject to all the rights, responsibilities,
      restrictions, duties, liabilities and termination provisions relating
      thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this
      Agreement except as otherwise stated herein. The Indenture Trustee and
      such successor will take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as
      will be necessary to effectuate any such succession. If a successor
      Servicer is

                                       51
<PAGE>

acting as Servicer hereunder, it will be subject to termination under Section
9.2 upon the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event applicable to it as
Servicer.

            (b) The Controlling Party may exercise at any time its right to
      appoint as Backup Servicer or as successor to the Servicer a Person other
      than the Person serving as Backup Servicer at the time, and (without
      limiting its obligations under the Note Policy) will have no liability to
      the Indenture Trustee, Triad, the Depositor, the Person then serving as
      Backup Servicer, any Noteholders or any other Person if it does so.
      Notwithstanding the above, if the Backup Servicer will be legally unable
      or unwilling to act as Servicer, and an Insurer Default has occurred and
      is continuing, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Majority
      Noteholders may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any
      Eligible Servicer as the successor to the Servicer. Pending appointment
      pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Backup Servicer, subject to
      Section 8.6(iii), will act as successor Servicer unless it is legally
      unable to do so, in which event the outgoing Servicer will continue to act
      as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such
      appointment. Subject to Section 8.6, no provision of this Agreement will
      be construed as relieving the Backup Servicer of its obligation to succeed
      as successor Servicer upon the termination of the Servicer pursuant to
      Section 9.2 or the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.6. If
      upon the termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.2 or the
      resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.6, the Controlling Party
      appoints a successor Servicer other than the Backup Servicer, the Backup
      Servicer will not be relieved of its duties as Backup Servicer hereunder.

            (c) Any successor Servicer will be entitled to such compensation
      (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the
      Servicer would have been entitled to under this Agreement if the Servicer
      had not resigned or been terminated hereunder. The Insurer, if the Class A
      Notes are outstanding and no Insurer Default has occurred and is
      continuing, and such successor Servicer may agree on additional
      compensation to be paid to such successor Servicer, which additional
      compensation will be payable as provided herein and will in no event
      exceed $150,000 in total over the successor Servicer's term and which will
      be deemed to be part of the "Servicing Fee" described in Section 4.8. The
      Backup Servicer will not be liable for any Servicing Fee, additional
      compensation or other amounts to be paid to such successor Servicer in
      connection with its assumption and performance of the servicing duties
      described herein.

      Section 9.4 Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination of, or
appointment of a successor to, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee will give
prompt written notice thereof to each Noteholder and to the Rating Agencies.

      Section 9.5 Waiver of Past Defaults. So long as no Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Insurer (or, if an Insurer Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Majority Noteholders) may, on behalf of all Noteholders,
waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations
hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such
default will cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event arising
therefrom will be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this
Agreement. No such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other default or
impair any right consequent thereto.

                                  Termination

      Section 10.1 Optional Purchase of All Receivables.

            (a) On any Distribution Date after the last day of any Collection
      Period as of which the Pool Balance will be less than or equal to 10% of
      the Original Pool Balance, the Servicer will have the option to purchase
      the Owner Trust Estate, other than the Trust Accounts (with the consent of
      the Insurer if such purchase would result in a claim on the Note Policy or
      would result in any amount owing to the Insurer under the Insurance
      Agreement remaining unpaid); provided, however, that the amount to be paid
      for such purchase (as set forth in the following sentence) will be
      sufficient to pay the full amount of principal, premium, if any, and
      interest due and payable on the Notes on such Distribution Date. To
      exercise such option, the Servicer will deposit at least two Business Days
      prior to such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.6 in the Collection
      Account an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Amount for the
      Receivables (other than Receivables that became Liquidated Receivables on
      or before the last day of the Collection Period preceding such
      Distribution Date), plus the appraised value of any other property held by
      the Trust (other than the Trust Accounts), such value to be determined by
      an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer, the Insurer and the
      Indenture Trustee, and will succeed to all interests in and to the Trust.

            (b) Upon any sale of the assets of the Trust pursuant to Section 8.1
      of the Trust Agreement, the Servicer will instruct the Indenture Trustee
      to deposit the proceeds from such sale after all payments and reserves
      therefrom (including the expenses of such sale) have been made (the
      "Insolvency Proceeds") in the Collection Account.

            (c) Notice of any termination of the Trust will be given by the
      Servicer to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer,
      the Insurer and the Rating Agencies as soon as practicable after the
      Servicer has received notice thereof.

            (d) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and
      the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes, the
      Certificateholders will succeed to the rights of the Noteholders hereunder
      and the Trust will succeed to the rights of, and assume the obligations
      of, the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE XI

      Section 11.1 Administrative Duties.

            (a) Duties with Respect to the Basic Documents. The Servicer will
      perform all its duties and the duties of the Issuer under the Basic
      Documents. In addition, the Servicer will consult with the Owner Trustee
      as the Servicer deems appropriate regarding the duties of the Issuer under
      the Basic Documents. The Servicer will monitor the performance of the
      Issuer and will advise the Owner Trustee when action is necessary to
      comply with the Issuer's duties under the Basic Documents. The Servicer
      will prepare for execution by the Issuer or

                                       53
<PAGE>

      will cause the preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such
      documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it
      will be the duty of the Issuer to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the
      Basic Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Servicer will take
      all necessary action that is the duty of the Issuer to take pursuant to
      the Indenture, including pursuant to Sections 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9,
      3.10, 3.17, 4.1, 5.4, 7.3, 8.3, 9.2, 9.3, 11.1 and 11.15 of the Indenture.

            (b) Duties with Respect to the Issuer.

                  (i) In addition to the duties of the Servicer set forth in the
Basic Documents, the Servicer will perform such calculations and will prepare
for execution by the Issuer or the Owner Trustee or will cause the preparation
by other appropriate Persons of all such documents, reports, filings,
instruments, certificates and opinions as it will be the duty of the Issuer or
the Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to any of the Basic
Documents or under state and federal tax and securities laws, and at the request
of the Owner Trustee will take all appropriate action that it is the duty of the
Issuer to take pursuant to any of the Basic Documents. In accordance with the
directions of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee, the Servicer will administer,
perform or supervise the performance of such other activities in connection with
the Collateral (including the Basic Documents) as are not covered by any of the
foregoing provisions and as are expressly requested by the Issuer or the Owner
Trustee and are reasonably within the capability of the Servicer.

                  (ii) Notwithstanding anything in any of the Basic Documents to
the contrary, the Servicer will be responsible for promptly notifying the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer in the event that any withholding
tax is imposed on the Issuer's payments (or allocations of income) to an Owner
(as defined in the Trust Agreement) as contemplated in this Agreement. Any such
notice will be in writing and specify the amount of any withholding tax required
to be withheld by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee pursuant to such
provision.

                  (iii) Notwithstanding anything in the Basic Documents to the
contrary, the Servicer will be responsible for performance of any duties of the
Issuer set forth in any amended Trust Agreement (as contemplated by Section 2.12
of the Trust Agreement) with respect to, among other things, accounting and
reports to Certificateholders (as defined in the Trust Agreement); provided,
however, that once prepared by the Servicer the Owner Trustee will retain
responsibility for the distribution of the Schedule K-1s upon request of the
Certificateholders in order to enable the Certificateholders to prepare its
federal and state income tax returns.

                  (iv) The Servicer will perform the duties of the Servicer
specified in Section 9.2 of the Trust Agreement required to be performed in
connection with the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee, and any other
duties expressly required to be performed by the Servicer under any of the Basic
Documents.

                  (v) In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its other
obligations under this Agreement, the Servicer may enter into transactions with
or otherwise deal with any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the terms
of any such transactions or dealings will be in accordance with any directions
received from the Issuer and will be, in the Servicer's opinion, no less
favorable to the Issuer in any material respect.

            (c) Tax Matters. The Servicer will prepare and file, on behalf of
      the Trust, all tax returns, tax elections, financial statements and such
      annual or other reports attributable to the

                                       54
<PAGE>

      activities engaged in by the Issuer as are necessary for preparation of
      tax reports, including forms 1099. All tax returns will be signed by the
      Servicer unless applicable law requires a Certificateholder to sign such
      documents.

            (d) Non-Ministerial Matters. With respect to matters that in the
      reasonable judgment of the Servicer are non-ministerial, the Servicer will
      not take any action pursuant to this Article XI unless within a reasonable
      time before the taking of such action, the Servicer will have notified the
      Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer of the proposed
      action and the Owner Trustee and, with respect to items (A), (B), (C) and
      (D) below, the Indenture Trustee and, so long as no Insurer Default has
      occurred and is continuing, the Insurer will not have withheld consent or
      provided an alternative direction. For the purpose of the preceding
      sentence, "non-ministerial matters" include:

                        (A) the amendment of or any supplement to the Indenture;

                        (B) the initiation of any claim or lawsuit by the Issuer
and the compromise of any action, claim or lawsuit brought by or against the
Issuer (other than in connection with the collection of the Receivables);

                        (C) the amendment, change or modification of any of the
Basic Documents;

                        (D) the appointment of successor Note Registrars,
successor Paying Agents and successor Indenture Trustees pursuant to the
Indenture or the appointment of Successor Servicers or the consent to the
assignment by the Note Registrar, Paying Agent or Indenture Trustee of its
obligations under the Indenture; and

                        (E) the removal of the Indenture Trustee.

            (e) Exceptions. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Servicer,
      in its capacity hereunder, will not be obligated to, and will not, (1)
      make any payments to the Noteholders or Certificateholders under the Basic
      Documents, (2) sell the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.5 of the
      Indenture, (3) take any other action that the Issuer directs the Servicer
      not to take on its behalf or (4) in connection with its duties hereunder
      assume any indemnification obligation of any other Person.

            (f) The Backup Servicer or any successor Servicer will not be
      responsible for any obligations or duties of the Servicer under this
      Section 11.1.

      Section 11.2 Records. The Servicer will maintain appropriate books of
account and records relating to services performed under this Agreement, which
books of account and records will be accessible for inspection by the Issuer and
the Insurer at any time during normal business hours upon reasonable prior
notice.

      Section 11.3 Additional Information to be Furnished to the Issuer. The
Servicer will furnish to the Issuer and, so long as no Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Insurer, from time to time such additional
information regarding the Collateral as the Issuer and, so long as no Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Insurer, will reasonably request.

                            Miscellaneous Provisions

      Section 12.1 Amendment.

            (a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties
      hereto, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee (which consent may not
      be unreasonably withheld) and with the prior written consent of the
      Insurer (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; provided that no
      Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) but without the consent of
      any of the Noteholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement
      any provisions in this Agreement, to comply with any changes in the Code,
      or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions
      arising under this Agreement which will not be inconsistent with the
      provisions of this Agreement or the Insurance Agreement; provided,
      however, that such action will not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
      delivered to Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer,
      adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder;
      provided further that if an Insurer Default has occurred and is
      continuing, such action will not materially adversely affect the interests
      of the Insurer.

            (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
      parties hereto, with the consent of the Insurer, the consent of the
      Indenture Trustee, and the consent of the Noteholders evidencing not less
      than a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes for the
      purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
      eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
      manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided, however, that no such
      amendment will (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or
      accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on Receivables
      or distributions that will be required to be made for the benefit of the
      Noteholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the outstanding
      principal amount of the Notes, the Noteholders of which are required to
      consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Noteholders of
      all the outstanding Notes of each class affected thereby; provided,
      further, that if an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, such
      action will not materially adversely affect the interest of the Insurer.

            (c) The party requesting such amendment will furnish written
      notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to the Rating
      Agencies before the execution thereof and the Indenture Trustee will
      furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent
      to each Noteholder promptly after the execution thereof.

            (d) It will not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders pursuant
      to this Section 12.1 to approve the particular form of any proposed
      amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient if such consent will
      approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and
      any other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of
      evidencing the authorization of any action by Noteholders will be subject
      to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
      Trustee, as applicable, may prescribe.

            (e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the
      Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and Backup Servicer will
      be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel
      stating that the execution of such amendment

                                       56
<PAGE>

      is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and the Opinion of Counsel
      referred to in Section 12.2(h) has been delivered. The Owner Trustee, the
      Backup Servicer and the Indenture Trustee may, but will not be obligated
      to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Issuer's, the Owner
      Trustee's, the Backup Servicer's or the Indenture Trustee's, as
      applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or
      otherwise.

      Section 12.2 Protection of Title to Trust.

            (a) Triad will cause to be executed and filed such financing
      statements and continuation statements, all in such manner and in such
      places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect
      the interest of the Issuer and the interests of the Indenture Trustee in
      the Receivables, the Other Conveyed Property and in the proceeds thereof.
      Triad will deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Insurer, the Owner
      Trustee and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing
      receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available
      following such filing.

            (b) Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer will change its name,
      identity, corporate structure or jurisdiction of formation or take any
      action that would, could or might make any financing statement or
      continuation statement filed in accordance with Section 12.2(a)
      ineffective to continue the first priority perfected security interest in
      that portion of the Trust Property in which a security interest may be
      perfected by filing under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code. If any
      refiling is required, the Depositor or Servicer, as the case may be, will
      promptly give notice and file new financing statements or amendments
      thereto or continuation statements thereof. Promptly upon such filing, the
      Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, will deliver an Opinion of
      Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Insurer,
      stating either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements
      have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and
      protect the interest of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee in the
      Receivables and Other Conveyed Property, and reciting the details of such
      filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details
      are given, or (B) no such action will be necessary to preserve and protect
      such interest.

            (c) The Servicer will at all times maintain each office from which
      it will service Receivables, and its principal executive office, within
      the United States of America.

            (d) The Servicer will maintain accounts and records as to each
      Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader
      thereof to know at any time the status of such Receivable, including
      payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each)
      and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect
      to) each Receivable and the amounts from time to time deposited in the
      Collection Account in respect of such Receivable.

            (e) The Servicer will maintain its computer systems so that, from
      and after the time of sale under this Agreement of the Receivables to the
      Issuer, the Servicer's master computer records (including any backup
      archives) that refer to a Receivable will indicate clearly the interest of
      the Trust in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by the
      Trust. Indication of the Trust's interest in a Receivable will be deleted
      from or modified on the Servicer's computer systems when, and only when,
      the related Receivable will have been paid in full or repurchased.

                                       57
<PAGE>

            (f) If at any time the Servicer proposes to sell, grant a security
      interest in or otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle
      receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the
      Servicer will give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other
      transferee computer tapes, records or printouts (including any restored
      from backup archives) that, if they refer in any manner whatsoever to any
      Receivable, indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is
      owned by the Trust unless such Receivable has been paid in full or
      repurchased.

            (g) Upon request, the Servicer will furnish to the Insurer, the
      Owner Trustee or to the Indenture Trustee, within five Business Days, a
      list of all Receivables (by contract number and name of Obligor) then held
      as part of the Trust, together with a reconciliation of such list to the
      Schedule of Receivables and to each of the Servicer's Certificates
      furnished before such request indicating removal of Receivables from the
      Trust.

            (h) The Servicer will deliver to the Insurer, the Owner Trustee and
      the Indenture Trustee promptly after the execution and delivery of the
      Agreement and, if required pursuant to Section 12.1, of each amendment, an
      Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, in form

<PAGE>

customers and consumers of the Servicer, each of the Indenture Trustee, the
Backup Servicer, the Issuer and the Depositor agrees as follows: (i) except as
may be reasonably necessary in the ordinary course of business to carry out the
activities to be performed by the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the
Issuer or the Depositor under this Agreement or as may be required by law or
legal process, it will not disclose any such nonpublic personal information to
any third party; (ii) it will not use any such nonpublic personal information
other than to carry out the purposes for which it was disclosed to the Indenture
Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Issuer or the Depositor, as applicable, unless
such other use is expressly permitted by a written agreement executed by the
Servicer or required by law or legal process; (iii) it shall restrict disclosure
of the information solely to those of its employees with a need to know and will
advise employees who receive the information of the obligation of
confidentiality hereunder; and (iv) it will take all reasonable measures,
including without limitation such measures as it takes to safeguard its own
confidential information, to ensure the security and confidentiality of all such
nonpublic personal information, to protect against anticipated threats or
hazards to the security or integrity of such nonpublic personal information and
to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal
information. The Servicer shall have access (during normal business hours, upon
reasonable prior notice) to review such books and records of the Indenture
Trustee, the Backup Servicer, Issuer and the Depositor as may be necessary to
assess compliance with the requirements of this Section 12.15. All costs and
expenses of such a review shall be borne solely by the Servicer, unless the
results of such review indicate a breach of this Section 12.15 by the Indenture
Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Issuer or the Depositor. The Indenture
Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Issuer or the Depositor, as applicable, shall
promptly notify the Servicer if it receives any complaint or notice concerning a
violation of privacy rights or becomes aware of a breach of customer data
security. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup
Servicer, the Issuer and the Depositor shall return or destroy all nonpublic
personal information, without retaining any copies of such documents and
records.

      Section 12.16 Regulation AB. The Depositor and the Servicer acknowledge
and agree that the purpose of this Section 12.16 is to facilitate compliance by
the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and
regulations of the Commission. The Depositor shall not exercise its right to
request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions
other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. The Servicer acknowledges that
interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time,
whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff,
consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities market, advice of
counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Depositor
in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of
evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. The Servicer shall cooperate fully
with the Depositor to deliver to the Depositor (including any of its assignees
or designees) any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any
other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Depositor to
permit the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together
with such disclosures relating to the Servicer and the Receivables, reasonably
believed by the Servicer to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.
