amounts on this Note which are not sufficient to pay all interest or other
amounts due thereunder, shall be made pro rata with respect to all such Notes in

         SECTION 2.3 TRANSFERS INTENDED AS SALES. It is the intention of the
Seller that the transfer and assignment contemplated by Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of
this Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Receivables and other Trust
Property from the Seller to the Issuer and the beneficial interest in and title
to the Receivables and other Trust Property shall not be part of the Seller's
estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the
Seller under any bankruptcy law. In the event that, notwithstanding the intent
of the Seller, the transfer and assignment contemplated hereby is held not to be
a sale, this Agreement shall constitute a grant of a security interest in the
Trust Property to the Trust for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Note
Insurer and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law. The Seller shall take such actions as are necessary from time to
time in order to maintain the perfection and priority of the Issuer's security
interest in the Trust Property.

in accordance with the Trust Agreement and Sections 3802 and 3805 of the
Business Trust Statute (as defined in the Trust Agreement).

                  (b) Immediately upon the vesting of the Trust Property in the
Trust, the Trust shall have the sole right to pledge or otherwise encumber, such
Trust Property. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Trust shall grant a security
interest in the Trust Property to secure the repayment of the Notes. The
Certificates shall represent beneficial ownership interests in the Trust
Property, and the Certificateholders shall be entitled to receive distributions
with respect thereto as set forth herein and in the Spread Account Supplement.

                  (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 shall, until all amounts due in respect of the Certificates have
been paid in full, 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 Trustee under Article III of the Indenture,
following the discharge of the Indenture, shall vest in the Certificateholders.

                  (v) SECURITY INTEREST IN FINANCED VEHICLE. Immediately
         subsequent to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof to the Trust,
         each Receivable shall be secured by a validly perfected first priority

                                       35
<PAGE>

         security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the Trust as
         secured party, and such security interest is prior to all other liens
         upon and security interests in such Financed Vehicle which now exist or
         may hereafter arise or be created (except, as to priority, for any tax
         liens or mechanics' liens which may arise after the Closing Date, in
         the case of the Initial Receivables, or after the related Subsequent
         Transfer Date, in the case of the Subsequent Receivables).

                  (vi) RECEIVABLES IN FORCE. No Receivable has been satisfied,
         subordinated or rescinded, nor has any Financed Vehicle been released
         from the lien granted by the related Receivable in whole or in part.

                  (vii) NO WAIVER. Except as permitted under Section 4.2, no
         provision of a Receivable has been waived.

                  (viii) NO AMENDMENTS. Except as permitted under Section 4.2,
         no Receivable has been amended, except as such Receivable may have been
         amended to grant extensions which shall not have numbered more than (a)
         one extension of one calendar month in any calendar year or (b) three
         such extensions in the aggregate.

                  (ix) NO DEFENSES. No right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim
         or defense exists or has been asserted or threatened with respect to
         any Receivable. The operation of the terms of any Receivable or the
         exercise of any right thereunder will not render such Receivable
         unenforceable in whole or in part or subject to any such right of
         rescission, setoff, counterclaim, or defense.

                  (x) NO LIENS. As of the Initial Cutoff Date (with respect to
         the Initial Receivables) or the applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date (with
         respect to the related Subsequent Receivables), (a) there are no liens
         or claims existing or which have been filed for work, labor, storage or
         materials relating to a Financed Vehicle that shall be liens prior to,
         or equal or coordinate with, the security interest in the Financed
         Vehicle granted by the Receivable and (b) there is no lien against the
         related Financed Vehicle for delinquent taxes.

                  (xi) NO DEFAULT; REPOSSESSION. Except for payment
         delinquencies continuing for a period of not more than thirty days as
         of the Initial Cutoff Date (with respect to the Initial Receivables) or
         the applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date (with respect to the Subsequent
         Receivables), no default, breach, violation or event permitting
         acceleration under the terms of any Receivable has occurred; and no
         continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time would
         constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting
         acceleration under the terms of any Receivable has arisen; and the
         Seller shall not waive and has not waived any of the foregoing (except
         in a manner consistent with Section 4.2); and no Financed Vehicle shall
         have been repossessed as of the Initial Cutoff Date (with respect to
         the Initial Receivables) or the Subsequent Cutoff Date (with respect to
         the Subsequent Receivables).

<PAGE>

                  (xii) INSURANCE; OTHER. (A) Each Obligor has obtained
         insurance covering the Financed Vehicle as of the execution of the
         Receivable insuring against loss and damage due to fire, theft,
         transportation, collision and other risks generally covered by
         comprehensive and collision coverage, and each Receivable requires the
         Obligor to obtain and maintain such insurance naming CPS and its
         successors and assigns as an additional insured, (B) each Receivable
         that finances the cost of premiums for credit life and credit accident
         and health insurance is covered by an insurance policy or certificate
         of insurance naming CPS as policyholder (creditor) under each such
         insurance policy and certificate of insurance and (C) as to each
         Receivable that finances the cost of an extended service contract, the
         respective Financed Vehicle which secures the Receivable is covered by
         an extended service contract.

                  (xiii) TITLE. It is the intention of the Seller that the
         transfer and assignment herein contemplated constitute a sale of the
         Receivables from the Seller to the Trust and that the beneficial
         interest in and title to such Receivables not be part of the Seller's
         estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or
         against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. No Receivable has been
         sold, transferred, assigned, or pledged by the Seller to any Person
         other than the Trust. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment
         herein contemplated, the Seller had good and marketable title to each
         Receivable and was the sole owner thereof, free and clear of all liens,
         claims, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of others, and,
         immediately upon the transfer thereof, the Trust for the benefit of the
         Noteholders and the Note Insurer shall have good and marketable title
         to each such Receivable and will be the sole owner thereof, free and
         clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of
         others, and the transfer has been perfected under the UCC.

                  (xiv) LAWFUL ASSIGNMENT. No Receivable has been originated in,
         or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale,
         transfer, and assignment of such Receivable under this Agreement or
         pursuant to transfers of the Securities shall be unlawful, void, or
         voidable. The Seller has not entered into any agreement with any
         account debtor that prohibits, restricts or conditions the assignment
         of any portion of the Receivables.

                  (xv) ALL FILINGS MADE. All filings (including, without
         limitation, UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the
         Trust a first priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables
         and the Other Conveyed Property have been made, taken or performed
         within 10 days of the Closing Date.

                  (xvi) RECEIVABLE FILE; ONE ORIGINAL. CPS has delivered to the
         Trustee a complete Receivable File with respect to each Receivable.
         There is only one original executed copy of each Receivable.

                                       37
<PAGE>

                  (xvii) CHATTEL PAPER. Each Contract constitutes "tangible
         chattel paper" under the UCC.

                  (xviii) TITLE DOCUMENTS. (A) If the Receivable was originated
         in a State in which notation of a security interest on the title
         document of the related Financed Vehicle is required or permitted to
         perfect such security interest, the title document of the related
         Financed Vehicle for such Receivable shows, or if a new or replacement
         title document is being applied for with respect to such Financed
         Vehicle the title document (or, with respect to Receivables originated
         in the Non-Certificated Title States, other evidence of title issued by
         the applicable Department of Motor Vehicles or similar authority) will
         be received within 180 days and will show, CPS named as the original
         secured party under the related Receivable as the holder of a first
         priority security interest in such Financed Vehicle, and (B) if the
         Receivable was originated in a State in which the filing of a financing
         statement under the UCC is required to perfect a security interest in
         motor vehicles, such filings or recordings have been duly made and show
         CPS named as the original secured party under the related Receivable,
         and in either case, the Trust has the same rights as such secured party
         has or would have (if such secured party were still the owner of the
         Receivable) against all parties claiming an interest in such Financed
         Vehicle. With respect to each Receivable for which the title document
         has not yet been returned from the Registrar of Titles, CPS has
         received written evidence from the related Dealer that such title
         document showing CPS as first lienholder has been applied for.

                  (xix) VALID AND BINDING OBLIGATION OF OBLIGOR. Each Receivable
         is the legal, valid and binding obligation in writing of the Obligor
         thereunder and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except only
         as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
         laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and all
         parties to such contract had full legal capacity to execute and deliver
         such contract and all other documents related thereto and to grant the
         security interest purported to be granted thereby.

                  (xx) CHARACTERISTICS OF OBLIGORS. As of the date of each
         Obligor's application for the loan from which the related Receivable
         arises, such Obligor (a) did not have any material past due credit
         obligations or any personal or real property repossessed or wages
         garnished within one year prior to the date of such application, unless
         such amounts have been repaid or discharged through bankruptcy, (b) was
         not the subject of any Federal, State or other bankruptcy, insolvency
         or similar proceeding pending on the date of application that is not
         discharged, (c) had not been the subject of more than one Federal,
         State or other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, and (d)
         was domiciled in the United States.

                  (xxi) ORIGINATION DATE. Each Receivable has an origination
         date on or after February 13, 1997.

                                       38
<PAGE>

                  (xxii) MATURITY OF RECEIVABLES. Each Receivable has an
         original term to maturity of not more than 72.00 months; the weighted
         average original term to maturity of the Initial Receivables was 61.00
         months as of the Initial Cutoff Date; the remaining term to maturity of
         each Receivable was 72.00 months or less as of the Initial Cutoff Date
         (with respect to the Initial Receivables) or the applicable Subsequent
         Cutoff Date (with respect to the Subsequent Receivables); the weighted
         average remaining term to maturity of the Initial Receivables was 56.45
         months as of the Initial Cutoff Date.

                  (xxiii) SCHEDULED RECEIVABLE PAYMENTS. Each Initial Receivable
         had an original principal balance of not less than $4,996.46 nor more
         than $26,220.94.

                  (xxiv) ORIGINATION OF RECEIVABLES. Based on the billing
         address of the Obligors and the Principal Balances as of the Initial
         Cutoff Date, approximately 12.98% and 8.11% of the aggregate Principal
         Balance of the Initial Receivables represents Receivables that were
         originated in the States of Texas and North Carolina, respectively.

                  (xxv) POST-OFFICE BOX. On or prior to the next billing period
         after the Initial Cutoff Date (in the case of the Initial Receivables)
         or the applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date (in the case of the Subsequent
         Receivables), CPS will notify each Obligor to make payments with
         respect to its respective Receivables after the Initial Cutoff Date (in
         the case of the Initial Receivables) or the applicable Subsequent
         Cutoff Date (in the case of the Subsequent Receivables) directly to the
         Post-Office Box, and will provide each Obligor with a monthly statement
         in order to enable such Obligors to make payments directly to the
         Post-Office Box.

                  (xxvi) LOCATION OF RECEIVABLE FILES. A complete Receivable
         File with respect to each Receivable has been or prior to the Closing
         Date or the related Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable, will be
         delivered to the Trustee at the location listed in Schedule B.

                  (xxvii) CASUALTY. No Financed Vehicle has suffered a Casualty.

                  (xxviii) PRINCIPAL BALANCE/NUMBER OF CONTRACTS. As of the
         Initial Cutoff Date, the total aggregate principal balance of the
         Initial Receivables was $42,433,457.57. The Initial Receivables are
         evidenced by 2,961 Contracts.

                  (xxix) FULL AMOUNT ADVANCED. The full amount of each
         Receivable has been advanced to each Obligor, and there are no
         requirements for future advances thereunder. The Obligor with respect
         to the Receivable does not have any option under the Receivable to
         borrow from any person additional funds secured by the Financed
         Vehicle.

                  (xxx) CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. This Agreement creates a
         valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the
         Trust Property in favor of the Issuer for the benefit of the
         Noteholders and the Note Insurer, which security interest is prior to
         all other Liens and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and
         purchasers from the Seller.

                  (xxxi) PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST IN FINANCED VEHICLES.
         CPS has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest
         against the Obligors in the Financed Vehicles securing the Contracts.

                  (xxxii) PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST IN TRUST PROPERTY. The
         Seller has caused or will have caused, within 10 days of the Closing
         Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper
         filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in
         order to perfect the security interest in the Trust Property granted to
         the Issuer for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Note Insurer
         hereunder pursuant to Section 2.3.

                  (xxxiii) NO OTHER SECURITY INTERESTS. Other than the security
         interest granted to the Issuer for the benefit of the Noteholders and
         the Note Insurer pursuant to Section 2.3, the Seller has not pledged,
         assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed
         any of the Trust Property. The Seller has not authorized the filing of
         and is not aware of any financing statements filed against the Seller
         that include a description of collateral covering the Trust Property
         other than any financing statement relating to the security interest
         granted to the Issuer for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Note
         Insurer hereunder or that has been terminated. The Seller is not aware
         of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller.

                  (xxxiv) NOTATIONS ON CONTRACTS; FINANCING STATEMENT
         DISCLOSURE. The Servicer has in its possession copies of all Contracts
         that constitute or evidence the Receivables. The Contracts that
         constitute or evidence the Receivables do not have any marks or
         notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise
         conveyed to any Person other than the Issuer and/or the Trustee for the
         benefit of the Noteholders and the Note Insurer. All financing
         statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of the
         Issuer in connection herewith describing the Trust Property contain a
         statement to the following effect: "A purchase of or security interest
         in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate
         the rights of CPS Auto Receivables Trust 2002-A, as secured party."

         The representations and warranties set forth above in paragraphs
(xiii), (xv), (xvii) and paragraphs (xxx) through (xxxiv) shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and may not be waived in whole or in part.

         SECTION 3.2 REPURCHASE UPON BREACH.

                                       40
<PAGE>

                  (a) The Seller, the Servicer, the Note Insurer, the Trustee or
(upon actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer thereof) the Owner Trustee, as
the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement promptly, in
writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the Seller's representations and
warranties made pursuant to Section 3.1 (without regard to any limitations
therein as to the Seller's knowledge). Unless the breach shall have been cured
by the last day of the second Collection Period following the discovery thereof
by the Trustee or the Note Insurer or receipt by the Trustee, the Owner Trustee
and the Note Insurer of notice from the Seller or the Servicer of such breach,
CPS (pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement) shall repurchase any
Receivable if the value of such Receivable is materially and adversely affected
by the breach as of the last day of such second Collection Period (or, at CPS's
option, the last day of the first Collection Period following the discovery)
and, in the event that the breach relates to a characteristic of the Receivables
in the aggregate, and if the interests of the Trust or the Noteholders are
materially and adversely affected by such breach, unless the breach shall have
been cured by the last day of such second Collection Period, CPS (pursuant to
the Receivables Purchase Agreement) shall purchase such aggregate Principal
Balance of Receivables, such that following such purchase such representation
shall be true and correct with respect to the remainder of the Receivables in
the aggregate. In consideration of the purchase of the Receivable, CPS shall
remit the Purchase Amount, in the manner specified in Section 5.6. For purposes
of this Section, the Purchase Amount of a Receivable which is not consistent
with the warranty pursuant to Section 3.1(i)(A)(5) or (A)(6) shall include such
additional amount as shall be necessary to provide the full amount of interest
as contemplated therein. The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the
Trustee, the Securityholders or the Note Insurer with respect to a breach of
representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be to enforce CPS's
obligation to purchase such Receivables pursuant to the Receivables Purchase
Agreement; provided, however, that CPS shall indemnify the Trustee, the Owner
Trustee, the Standby Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Note Insurer, the Trust
and the Securityholders 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. Upon receipt of
the Purchase Amount and written instructions from the Servicer, the Trustee
shall release to CPS or its designee the related Receivables File and shall
execute and deliver all reasonable instruments of transfer or assignment,
without recourse, as are prepared by the Seller and delivered to the Trustee and
necessary to vest in CPS or such designee title to the Receivable including a
Trustee's Certificate in the form of Exhibit F-1.

                  (b) If it is determined that consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other transaction documents referenced in
this Agreement, the servicing and operation of the Trust pursuant to this
Agreement and such other documents, or the ownership of a Note or Certificate by
a Holder constitutes a violation of the prohibited transaction rules of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or any successor statutes
of similar impact, together with the regulations thereunder, to which no

                                       41
<PAGE>

statutory exception or administrative exemption applies, such violation shall
not be treated as a breach of the Seller's representations and warranties made
pursuant to Section 3.1 if not otherwise such a breach.

                  (c) Pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of this Agreement, the
Seller has conveyed to the Trust all of the Seller's right, title and interest
in its rights and benefits, but none of its obligations or burdens, under the
Receivables Purchase Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, including
the Seller's rights under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and each Subsequent
Transfer Agreement and the delivery requirements, representations and warranties
and the cure, repurchase and indemnity obligations of CPS under the Receivables
Purchase Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement. The Seller hereby
represents and warrants to the Trust that such assignment is valid, enforceable
and effective to permit the Trust to enforce such obligations of CPS under the
Receivables Purchase Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement.

         SECTION 3.3 CUSTODY OF RECEIVABLES FILES.

                  (a) In connection with the sale, transfer and assignment of
the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property to the Trust pursuant to this
Agreement the Trustee shall act as custodian of the following documents or
instruments in its possession which shall be delivered to the Trustee on or
before the Closing Date (with respect to each Initial Receivable) or the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Date (with respect to each Subsequent
Receivable):

                  (i) The fully executed original of the Receivable (together
         with any agreements modifying the Receivable, including without
         limitation any extension agreements);

                  (ii) The original certificate of title in the name of CPS or
         such documents that CPS shall keep on file, in accordance with its
         customary procedures, evidencing the security interest of CPS in the
         Financed Vehicle or, if not yet received, a copy of the application
         therefor showing CPS as secured party.

                  (b) Upon payment in full of any Receivable, the Servicer will
notify the Trustee pursuant to a certificate of an officer of the Servicer
(which certificate shall 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 4.2 have been so deposited) and shall
request delivery of the Receivable and Receivable File to the Servicer.

         SECTION 3.4 ACCEPTANCE OF RECEIVABLE FILES BY TRUSTEE. The Trustee
acknowledges receipt of files which the Seller has represented are the
Receivable Files for the Initial Receivables. The Trustee has reviewed such
Receivable Files and has determined that it has received a file for each Initial
Receivable identified in Schedule A to this Agreement. Not less than four (4)
Business Days prior to each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Seller will cause to

                                       42
<PAGE>

be delivered to the Trustee the Receivable Files for the Subsequent Receivables
to be transferred to the Trust on such Subsequent Transfer Date. The Trustee
declares that it holds and will continue to hold such files and any amendments,
replacements or supplements thereto and all other Trust Assets as Trustee in
trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Securityholders. The
Trustee agrees to review each file delivered to it no later than 45 days after
the Closing Date (in the case of the Initial Receivables) or applicable
Subsequent Transfer Date (in the case of the Subsequent Receivables) to
determine whether such Receivable Files contain the documents referred to in
Sections 3.3(a)(i) and (ii). If the Trustee has found or finds that a file for a
Receivable has not been received, or that a file is unrelated to the Receivables
identified in Schedule A to this Agreement or that any of the documents referred
to in Section 3.3(a)(i) or (ii) are not contained in a Receivable File, the
Trustee shall inform CPS, the Seller, the Owner Trustee and the Note Insurer
promptly, in writing, of the failure to receive a file with respect to such
Receivable (or of the failure of any of the aforementioned documents to be
included in the Receivable File) or shall return to CPS as the Seller's designee
any file unrelated to a Receivable identified in Schedule A to this Agreement
(it being understood that the Trustee's obligation to review the contents of any
Receivable File shall be limited as set forth in the preceding sentence). Unless
such defect with respect to such Receivable File shall have been cured by the
last day of the second Collection Period following discovery thereof by the
Trustee, the Trustee shall cause CPS to repurchase any such Receivable as of
such last day pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. In consideration
of the purchase of the Receivable, CPS shall remit the Purchase Amount, in the
manner specified in Section 5.6. The sole remedy of the Trustee, the Trust, or
the Securityholders with respect to a breach pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall
be to require CPS to purchase the applicable Receivables pursuant to this
Section 3.4; provided, however, that CPS shall indemnify the Trustee, the Owner
Trustee, the Standby Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Note Insurer, the Trust
and the Securityholders 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. Upon receipt of
the Purchase Amount and written instructions from the Servicer, the Trustee
shall release to CPS or its designee the related Receivable File and shall
execute and deliver all reasonable instruments of transfer or assignment,
without recourse, as are prepared by CPS and delivered to the Trustee and are
necessary to vest in CPS or such designee title to the Receivable including a
Trustee's Certificate in the form of Exhibit F-1. The Trustee shall make a list
of Receivables for which an application for a certificate of title but not an
original certificate of title or, with respect to Receivables originated in the
Non-Certificated Title States, another evidence of title issued by the
applicable Department of Motor Vehicles or similar authority, is included in the
Receivable File as of the date of its review of the Receivable Files and deliver
a copy of such list to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Note Insurer. On
the date which is 180 days following the Closing Date (in the case of the
Initial Receivables) or applicable Subsequent Transfer Date (in the case of the
Subsequent Receivables) or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day, the Trustee shall inform CPS and the other parties to
this Agreement and the Note Insurer of any Receivable for which the related

                                       43
<PAGE>

Receivable File on such date does not include an original certificate of title
or, with respect to Financed Vehicles in the Non-Certificated Title States, for
which the related Receivable File on such date does not include evidence of
title issued by the applicable Department of Motor Vehicles or similar
authority, and CPS shall repurchase any such Receivable as of the last day of
the current Collection Period.

         SECTION 3.5 ACCESS TO RECEIVABLE FILES. The Trustee shall permit the
Servicer and the Note Insurer access to the Receivable Files at all reasonable
times during the Trustee's normal business hours. The Trustee shall, within two
Business Days of the request of the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Note
Insurer, execute such documents and instruments as are prepared by the Servicer,
the Owner Trustee or the Note Insurer and delivered to the Trustee, as the
Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Note Insurer deems necessary to permit the
Servicer, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, to enforce the
Receivable on behalf of the Trust and any related insurance policies covering
the Obligor, the Receivable or Financed Vehicle so long as such execution in the
Trustee's sole discretion does not conflict with this Agreement and will not
cause it undue risk or liability. The Trustee shall not be obligated to release
any document from any Receivable File unless it receives a trust receipt signed
by a Servicing Officer in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the "TRUST RECEIPT").
Such Trust Receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return such document(s) to the
Trustee when the need therefor no longer exists unless the Receivable shall be
liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer
substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto to the effect that all amounts
required to be deposited in the Collection Account with respect to such
Receivable have been so deposited, the Trust Receipt shall be released by the
Trustee to the Servicer.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                   ----------

                   ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

         SECTION 4.1 DUTIES OF THE SERVICER. The Servicer, as agent for the
Trust, the Securityholders and the Note Insurer (to the extent provided herein)
shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables with
reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention customary and usual
for institutions which service motor vehicle retail installment contracts
similar to the Receivables and, to the extent more exacting, that the Servicer
exercises with respect to all comparable automotive receivables that it services
for itself or others. The Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting
of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables,
investigating delinquencies, sending payment statements to Obligors, reporting
tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and
annual statements to the Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Note Insurer with
respect to distributions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and
subject to the servicing standards set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer is
authorized and empowered by the Trust to execute and deliver, on behalf of
itself, the Trust or the Securityholders, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to such Receivables or to the

                                       44
<PAGE>

Financed Vehicles securing such Receivables and/or the certificates of title or,
with respect to Financed Vehicles in the Non-Certificated Title States, other
evidence of ownership with respect to such Financed Vehicles issued by the
applicable Department of Motor Vehicles or similar authority. If the Servicer
shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Trust shall
thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of
collection, such Receivable to the Servicer. If in any enforcement suit or legal
proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on
the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to
enforce such Receivable, the Trust shall, at the Servicer's expense and
direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its
name or the name of the Securityholders. The Servicer shall prepare and furnish,
and the Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall execute, any powers of attorney and
other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to
carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

         SECTION 4.2 COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLE PAYMENTS; MODIFICATIONS OF
RECEIVABLES; LOCKBOX AGREEMENTS.

                  (a) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures
required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to
collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the
Receivables as and when the same shall become due and shall follow such
collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable automotive
receivables that it services for itself or others; provided, however, that
promptly after the Closing Date the Servicer shall notify each Obligor to make
all payments with respect to the Receivables to the Post-Office Box. The
Servicer will provide each Obligor with a monthly statement in order to notify
such Obligors to make payments directly to the Post-Office Box. The Servicer
shall allocate collections between principal and interest in accordance with the
customary servicing procedures it follows with respect to all comparable
automotive receivables that it services for itself or others and in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. Except as provided below, the Servicer, for so
long as CPS is the Servicer, may grant extensions on a Receivable; provided,
however, that the Servicer may not grant more than one extension per calendar
year with respect to a Receivable or grant an extension with respect to a
Receivable for more than one calendar month or grant more than three extensions
in the aggregate with respect to a Receivable without the prior written consent
of the Note Insurer and provided, further, that if the Servicer extends the date
for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the last day of the
penultimate Collection Period preceding the Class A-2 Final Scheduled Payment
Date, it shall promptly purchase the Receivable from the Trust in accordance
with the terms of Section 4.7 hereof (and for purposes thereof, the Receivable
shall be deemed to be materially and adversely affected by such breach). If the
Servicer is not CPS, the Servicer may not make any extension on a Receivable
without the prior written consent of the Note Insurer. The Servicer may in its
discretion waive any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected
in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the Servicer shall not agree to any alteration of
the interest rate on any Receivable or of the amount of any Scheduled Receivable
Payment on Receivables.

                                       45
<PAGE>

                  (b) The Servicer shall establish the Lockbox Account in the
name of the Trust for the benefit of the Trustee for the further benefit of the
Securityholders and the Note Insurer. Pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, the
Trustee has authorized the Servicer to direct dispositions of funds on deposit
in the Lockbox Account to the Collection Account (but not to any other account),
and no other Person, save the Lockbox Processor and the Trustee, has authority
to direct disposition of funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account. The Trustee
shall have no liability or responsibility with respect to the Lockbox
Processor's directions or activities as set forth in the preceding sentence. The
Lockbox Account shall be established pursuant to and maintained in accordance
with the Lockbox Agreement and shall be a demand deposit account initially
established and maintained with the Lockbox Bank or, at the request of the Note
Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing), an
Eligible Account satisfying clause (i) of the definition thereof; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall give the Servicer prior written notice of any
change made at the request of the Note Insurer in the location of the Lockbox
Account. The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Post-Office Box at a
United States Post Office Branch in the name of the Trust for the benefit of the
Securityholders and the Note Insurer.

                  (c) Notwithstanding any Lockbox Agreement, or any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to the Lockbox Agreement, the Servicer
shall remain obligated and liable to the Trust, the Trustee and Securityholders
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.

                  (d) In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer
be acting as such, the Standby Servicer or a successor Servicer shall thereupon
assume all of the rights and obligations of the outgoing Servicer under the
Lockbox Agreement arising from and after such assumption. In such event, the
successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the outgoing
Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the outgoing Servicer as a
party to the Lockbox Agreement to the same extent as if such Lockbox Agreement
had been assigned to the successor Servicer, except that the outgoing Servicer
shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations on the part of the
outgoing Servicer to the Lockbox Bank under such Lockbox Agreement. The outgoing
Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the outgoing
Servicer, deliver to the successor Servicer all documents and records relating
to the Lockbox Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the
Lockbox Bank and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and
efficient transfer of any Lockbox Agreement to the successor Servicer. In the
event that the Note Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have
occurred and be continuing) or Holders of Notes evidencing more than 50% of the
Aggregate Note Balance (if an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing) shall elect to change the identity of the Lockbox Bank, the
Servicer, at its expense, shall cause the Lockbox Bank to deliver, at the
direction of the Note Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have
occurred and be continuing) or Holders of Notes evidencing more than 50% of the
Aggregate Note Balance (if an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing) to the Trustee or a successor Lockbox Bank, all documents and
records relating to the Receivables and all amounts held (or thereafter
received) by the Lockbox Bank (together with an accounting of such amounts) and
shall otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of the Lockbox arrangements.

                                       46
<PAGE>

                  (e) On each Business Day, pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement,
the Lockbox Processor will transfer any payments from Obligors received in the
Post-Office Box to the Lockbox Account. Within two Business Days of receipt of
funds into the Lockbox Account, the Servicer shall cause the Lockbox Bank to
transfer funds from the Lockbox Account to the Collection Account. In addition,
the Servicer shall remit all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors received
by the Servicer with respect to the Receivables (other than Purchased
Receivables), and all Liquidation Proceeds no later than the Business Day
following receipt directly (without deposit into any intervening account) into
the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account.

         SECTION 4.3 REALIZATION UPON RECEIVABLES. On behalf of the Trust, the
Securityholders and the Note Insurer, the Servicer shall use its best efforts,
consistent with the servicing procedures set forth herein, to repossess or
otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable
as to which the Servicer shall have determined eventual payment in full is
unlikely. The Servicer shall commence efforts to repossess or otherwise convert
the ownership of a Financed Vehicle on or prior to the date that an Obligor has
failed to make more than 90% of a Scheduled Receivable Payment thereon in excess
of $10 for 120 days or more; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect not
to commence such efforts within such time period if in its good faith judgment
it determines either that it would be impracticable to do so or that the
proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would be
increased by forbearance. The Servicer shall follow such customary and usual
practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its
servicing of automotive receivables, consistent with the standards of care set
forth in Section 4.2, which may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any
recourse to Dealers and selling the Financed Vehicle at public or private sale.
The foregoing shall be subject to the provision that, in any case in which the
Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds
in connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle
unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession
will increase the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such
Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.

         SECTION 4.4 INSURANCE.

                  (a) The Servicer, in accordance with the servicing procedures
and standards set forth herein, shall require that (i) each Obligor shall have
obtained insurance covering the Financed Vehicle, as of the date of the
execution of the Receivable, insuring against loss and damage due to fire,
theft, transportation, collision and other risks generally covered by
comprehensive and collision coverage and each Receivable requires the Obligor to
maintain such physical loss and damage insurance naming CPS and its successors
and assigns as an additional insured, (ii) each Receivable that finances the
cost of premiums for credit life and credit accident and health insurance is
covered by an insurance policy or certificate naming CPS as policyholder

                                       47
<PAGE>

(creditor) and (iii) as to each Receivable that finances the cost of an extended
service contract, the respective Financed Vehicle which secures the Receivable
is covered by an extended service contract.

                  (b) To the extent applicable, the Servicer shall not take any
action which would result in noncoverage under any of the insurance policies
referred to in Section 4.4(a) which, but for the actions of the Servicer, would
have been covered thereunder. The Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall take
such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any of the
foregoing insurance policies. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any of
the foregoing insurance policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account.

         SECTION 4.5 MAINTENANCE OF SECURITY INTERESTS IN VEHICLES.

                  (a) Consistent with the policies and procedures required by
this Agreement, the Servicer shall 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 but not limited to
obtaining the execution by the Obligors and the recording, registering, filing,
re-recording, re-registering and refiling of all security agreements, financing
statements and continuation statements or instruments as are necessary to
maintain the security interest granted by the Obligors under the respective
Receivables. The Trustee hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer
agrees, to take any and all steps necessary to re-perfect or continue the
perfection of 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 hereby
agrees that CPS'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 Note Insurer may (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have
occurred and be continuing) instruct the Trustee and the Servicer to take or
cause to be taken, or, if an Insurer Default shall have occurred, upon the
occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Trustee and the Servicer shall
take or cause to be taken such action as may, in the opinion of counsel to the
Trustee, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee, 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 Trustee, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee, be
necessary or prudent. The Servicer hereby agrees to pay all expenses related to
such perfection or re-perfection 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 Trustee and 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

                                       48
<PAGE>

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
Trustee in connection with such action shall be reimbursed to the Servicer or
the Trustee, as applicable, by the Controlling Party.

         SECTION 4.6 ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF SERVICER. The Servicer shall not
release the Financed Vehicle securing each Receivable from the security interest
granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except in the event of payment in
full by the Obligor thereunder or repossession, nor shall the Servicer impair
the rights of the Securityholders in such Receivables, nor shall the Servicer
amend a Receivable, except that extensions and waivers may be granted in
accordance with Section 4.2. The Servicer shall take such actions as are
necessary from time to time in order to maintain the perfection and priority of
the Issuer's security interest in the Trust Property.

         SECTION 4.7 PURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES UPON BREACH OF COVENANT. Upon
discovery by any of the Servicer, the Note Insurer, the Owner Trustee or the
Trustee of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 4.2(a), 4.4,
4.5 or 4.6, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
to the others; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall
not affect any obligation of the Servicer under this Section 4.7. Unless the
breach shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period
following such discovery (or, at the Servicer's election, the last day of the
first following Collection Period), the Servicer shall purchase any Receivable
materially and adversely affected by such breach. In consideration of the
purchase of such Receivable, the Servicer shall remit the Purchase Amount in the
manner specified in Section 5.6. The sole remedy of the Trustee, the Trust, the
Owner Trustee, the Note Insurer or the Securityholders with respect to a breach
of Section 4.2(a), 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 shall be to require the Servicer to
repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 4.7; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee, the Standby Servicer, the Collateral
Agent, the Note Insurer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust and the Securityholders
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. If it is determined that the
management, administration and servicing of the Receivables and operation of the
Trust pursuant to this Agreement constitutes a violation of the prohibited
transaction rules of ERISA or the Code to which no statutory exception or
administrative exemption applies, such violation shall not be treated as a
breach of Section 4.2(a), 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 if not otherwise such a breach.

         SECTION 4.8 SERVICING FEE. The "Servicing Fee" for each Payment Date
shall be equal to the result of one twelfth times 2.50% of the Pool Balance as
of the close of business on the last day of the second preceding Collection
Period; provided, however, that with respect to the first Payment Date the
Servicer will be entitled to receive a Servicing Fee equal to the product of
one-twelfth times 2.50% of the Pool Balance as of the Initial Cutoff Date. The
Servicing Fee shall also include all late fees, prepayment charges including, in

                                       49
<PAGE>

the case of a Rule of 78's Receivable that is prepaid in full, to the extent not
required by law to be remitted to the related Obligor, the difference between
the Principal Balance of such Rule of 78's Receivable (plus accrued interest to
the date of prepayment) and the principal balance of such Receivable computed
according to the "Rule of 78's", and other administrative fees or similar
charges allowed by applicable law with respect to Receivables, collected (from
whatever source) on the Receivables. If the Standby Servicer becomes the
successor Servicer, the "Servicing Fee" payable to the Standby Servicer as
successor Servicer shall be determined in accordance with the Servicing and
Lockbox Processing Assumption Agreement.

         SECTION 4.9 SERVICER'S CERTIFICATE. By 9:00 a.m., Phoenix time, on each
Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Owner
Trustee, the Note Insurer, the Rating Agencies and the Seller a Servicer's
Certificate containing all information necessary to make the distributions
pursuant to Sections 5.7 and 5.9 (including, if required, withdrawals from the
Spread Account) for the Collection Period preceding the date of such Servicer's
Certificate and all information necessary for the Trustee to send statements to
the Securityholders and the Note Insurer pursuant to Section 5.8(b). Receivables
to be purchased by the Servicer or to be purchased by CPS shall be identified by
the Servicer by account number with respect to such Receivable (as specified in
Schedule A).

         SECTION 4.10 ANNUAL STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE, NOTICE OF SERVICER
TERMINATION EVENT.

                  (a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the
Trustee, the Standby Servicer, the Note Insurer and each Rating Agency, on or
before March 31 of each year beginning March 31, 2003, an Officer's Certificate,
dated as of December 31 of the preceding year, stating that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period 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 throughout such
year (or, in the case of the first such certificate, such shorter period), or,
if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation,
specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof. The Trustee shall send a copy of such certificate and the report
referred to in Section 4.11 to the Rating Agencies. The Trustee shall forward a
copy of such certificate as well as the report referred to in Section 4.11 to
each Noteholder and the Owner Trustee shall forward a copy to each
Certificateholder.

                  (b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the
Trustee, the Standby Servicer, the Note Insurer, the Collateral Agent, 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 10.1.

                                       50
<PAGE>

         SECTION 4.11 ANNUAL INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT. The Servicer shall
cause a firm of nationally recognized independent certified public accountants
(the "Independent Accountants"), who may also render other services to the
Servicer or to the Seller, to deliver to the Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the
Standby Servicer, the Note Insurer and each Rating Agency, on or before March 31
of each year beginning March 31, 2003, a report dated as of December 31 of the
previous year (the "Accountants' Report") and reviewing the Servicer's
activities during the preceding 12-month period, addressed to the Board of
Directors of the Servicer, to the Owner Trustee, the Trustee, the Standby
Servicer and to the Note Insurer, to the effect that such firm has examined the
financial statements of the Servicer and issued its report therefor and that
such examination (1) was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and
such other auditing procedures as such firm considered necessary in the
circumstances; (2) included tests relating to auto loans serviced for others in
accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers (the "Program"), to the extent the procedures in the Program
are applicable to the servicing obligations set forth in this Agreement; (3)
included an examination of the delinquency and loss statistics relating to the
Servicer's portfolio of automobile and light truck installment sales contracts;
and (4) except as described in the report, disclosed no exceptions or errors in
the records relating to automobile and light truck loans serviced for others
that, in the firm's opinion, paragraph four of the Program requires such firm to
report. The accountant's report shall further state that (1) a review in
accordance with agreed upon procedures was made of three randomly selected
Servicer Certificates; (2) except as disclosed in the report, no exceptions or
errors in the Servicer Certificates were found; and (3) the delinquency and loss
information relating to the Receivables and the stated amount of Liquidated
Receivables, if any, contained in the Servicer Certificates were found to be
accurate. In the event such firm requires the Trustee, the Owner Trustee and/or
the Standby Servicer to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the
Servicer shall direct the Trustee, the Owner Trustee and/or the Standby
Servicer, as applicable, in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed
that the Trustee, the Owner Trustee and/or the Standby Servicer will deliver
such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the
Servicer, and neither the Trustee, the Owner Trustee nor the Standby Servicer
makes any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no
obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness
of such procedures.

         The Report will also indicate that the firm is independent of the
Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

         SECTION 4.12 ACCESS TO CERTAIN DOCUMENTATION AND INFORMATION REGARDING
RECEIVABLES. The Servicer shall provide to representatives of the Trustee, the
Owner Trustee, the Standby Servicer and the Note Insurer reasonable access to
the documentation regarding the Receivables. In each case, such access shall be
afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal
business hours. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of
the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information

                                       51
<PAGE>

regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as
provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a
breach of this Section.

         SECTION 4.13 VERIFICATION OF SERVICER'S CERTIFICATE.

                  (a) On or before the fifth calendar day of each month, the
Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and the Standby Servicer a computer
diskette (or other electronic transmission) in a format acceptable to the
Trustee and the Standby Servicer containing information with respect to the
Receivables as of the close of business on the last day of the preceding
Collection Period which information is necessary for preparation of the
Servicer's Certificate. The Standby Servicer shall use such computer diskette
(or other electronic transmission) to verify certain information specified in
Section 4.13(b) contained in the Servicer's Certificate delivered by the
Servicer, and the Standby Servicer shall notify the Servicer and the Note
Insurer of any discrepancies on or before the second Business Day following the
Determination Date. In the event that the Standby Servicer reports any
discrepancies, the Servicer and the Standby Servicer shall attempt to reconcile
such discrepancies prior to the second Business Day prior to the related Payment
Date, but in the absence of a reconciliation, the Servicer's Certificate shall
control for the purpose of calculations and distributions with respect to the
related Payment Date. In the event that the Standby Servicer and the Servicer
are unable to reconcile discrepancies with respect to a Servicer's Certificate
by the related Payment Date, the Servicer shall cause a firm of independent
certified public accountants, at the Servicer's expense, to audit the Servicer's
Certificate and, prior to the fifth calendar day of the following month,
reconcile the discrepancies. The effect, if any, of such reconciliation shall be
reflected in the Servicer's Certificate for such next succeeding Determination
Date. Other than the duties specifically set forth in this Agreement, the
Standby Servicer shall have no obligations hereunder, including, without
limitation, to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the performance of the
Servicer. The Standby Servicer shall have no liability for any actions taken or
omitted by the Servicer. The duties and obligations of the Standby Servicer
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Standby Servicer.

                  (b) Standby Servicer shall review each Servicer's Certificate
delivered pursuant to Section 4.13(a) and shall:

                  (i) confirm that such Servicer's Certificate is complete on
         its face;

                  (ii) load the computer diskette (which shall be in a format
         acceptable to the Standby Servicer) received from the Servicer pursuant
         to Section 4.13(a) hereof, confirm that such computer diskette is in a
         readable form and calculate and confirm the Principal Balance of each

         Distributable Amount, the Class B Certificateholders' Principal
         Distributable Amount, the Class B Prepayment Amount, the Standby Fee,
         the Servicing Fee, the Trustee Fee, the Collateral Agent Fee, the
         amount on deposit in the Spread Account, and the Premium in the

         of the Servicer's Certificate; and

                  (iv) confirm the calculation of the performance tests set
         forth in the Spread Account Agreement.

         SECTION 4.14 RETENTION AND TERMINATION OF SERVICER. The Servicer hereby
covenants and agrees to act as such under this Agreement for an initial term
commencing on the Closing Date and ending on March 31, 2002, which term shall be
extendible by the Note Insurer for successive quarterly terms ending on each
successive June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31 (or, at the
discretion of the Note Insurer exercised pursuant to revocable written standing
instructions from time to time to the Servicer and the Trustee, for any
specified number of terms greater than one), until such time as the Notes have
been paid in full, all amounts due to the Certificateholders have been paid and
until the termination of the Trust. Each such notice (including each notice
pursuant to standing instructions, which shall be deemed delivered at the end of
successive terms for so long as such instructions are in effect) (a "Servicer
Extension Notice") shall be delivered by the Note Insurer to the Trustee and the
Servicer. The Servicer hereby agrees that, upon its receipt of any such Servicer
Extension Notice, the Servicer shall become bound, for the duration of the term
covered by such Servicer Extension Notice, to continue as the Servicer subject
to and in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. If an Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing, the term of the Servicer's appointment
hereunder shall be deemed to have been extended until such time, if any, as such
Insurer Default has been cured unless such appointment is terminated sooner in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Until such time as an Insurer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee agrees that if as of
the fifteenth day prior to the last day of any term of the Servicer, the Trustee
shall not have received any Servicer Extension Notice from the Note Insurer, the
Trustee shall, within five days thereafter, give written notice of such
non-receipt to the Note Insurer.

         SECTION 4.15 FIDELITY BOND. The Servicer shall maintain a fidelity bond
in such form and amount as is customary for entities acting as custodian of
funds and documents in respect of consumer contracts on behalf of institutional
investors.

<PAGE>

                  (a) (i) The Trustee, on behalf of the Securityholders and the
Note Insurer, shall establish and maintain in its own name an Eligible Account
(the "Collection Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the
funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the
Securityholders and the Note Insurer. On the Closing Date, the Servicer will
deposit, on behalf of the Seller, in the Collection Account, an amount equal to
$173,529.50, such amount representing all collections on the Receivables
received from and including the day after the Initial Cutoff Date through March
6, 2002, and with respect to Rule of 78's Receivables, all monies due or to
become due thereon after the Initial Cutoff Date (including Scheduled Payments
due after the Initial Cutoff Date (including principal prepayments relating to
such Schedule Payments) but received by the Seller or CPS on or before the
Initial Cutoff Date).

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

                           (iii) The Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders and
         the Note Insurer, shall establish and maintain in its own name an
         Eligible Account (the "Pre-Funding Account"), bearing a designation
         clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the
         benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and the Note
         Insurer.

                           (iv) The Trustee, on behalf of the
         Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in its own name an
         Eligible Account (the "Certificate Distribution Account"), bearing a
         designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are
         held for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the
         Certificateholders. The Certificate Distribution Account shall
         initially be established with the Trustee.

                  Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Note
         Distribution Account, the Pre-Funding Account, the Interest Reserve
         Account and the Certificate Distribution Account (collectively, the
         "Trust Accounts") shall be invested by the 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 shall be held
         by or on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders
         and/or the Certificateholders and the Note Insurer, as applicable.
         Other than as permitted by the Rating Agencies and the Note Insurer,
         funds on deposit in any Trust Account shall be invested in Eligible
         Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available at
         the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
         following Payment Date. Funds deposited in a Trust Account on the day
         immediately preceding a Payment Date upon the maturity of any Eligible
         Investments are not required to be invested overnight. All Eligible
         Investments will be held to maturity.

<PAGE>

                  (b) All investment earnings of moneys deposited in the Trust
Accounts shall be deposited (or caused to be deposited) by the Trustee in the
Collection Account for distribution pursuant to Section 5.7, and any loss
resulting from such investments shall be charged to such account. The Servicer
will not direct the 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, and, in connection with any direction to the
Trustee to make any such investment, if requested by the Trustee, the Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Trustee,
to such effect.

                  (c) The Trustee shall 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
Trustee's negligence or bad faith or its failure to make payments on such
Eligible Investments issued by the Trustee, in its commercial capacity as
principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms.

                  (d) If (i) the Servicer shall have failed to give investment
directions for any funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts to the Trustee by 1:00
p.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuer and
Trustee) on any Business Day; or (ii) an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not have been
declared due and payable, or, if such Notes shall 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 Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest
funds in the Trust Accounts in one or more Eligible Investments described in
paragraph (o) of the definition thereof.

                  (e) The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in
all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds
thereof (including all Investment Earnings on the Trust Accounts) and all such
funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Trust Property.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trust Accounts shall be under the sole
dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and/or
the Certificateholders, as the case may be, and the Note Insurer. If at any time
any of the Trust Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer with
the consent of the Note Insurer shall within five Business Days establish a new
Trust Account as an Eligible Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any
investments to such new Trust Account. The Servicer shall promptly notify the
Rating Agencies and the Owner Trustee of any change in the location of any of
the aforementioned accounts. In connection with the foregoing, the Servicer
agrees that, in the event that any of the Trust Accounts are not accounts with
the Trustee, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing promptly upon any
of such Trust Accounts ceasing to be an Eligible Account.

                  (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any
other document relating to a Trust Account, the "securities intermediary's
jurisdiction" (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) or the "bank's
jurisdiction" (with the meaning of 9-304 of the UCC), as applicable, with
respect to each Trust Account shall be the State of New York.

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

                           (A) any Trust Account Property that is held in
                  deposit accounts shall be held solely in an Eligible Account;
                  and, each such Eligible Account shall be subject to the
                  exclusive custody and control of the Trustee and the Trustee
                  shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto; and

                           (B) any other Trust Account Property shall be
                  delivered to the Trustee in accordance with the definition of
                  "Delivery".

         SECTION 5.2 INTEREST RESERVE ACCOUNT.

                  (a) Servicer shall cause the Trustee to establish and maintain
an Eligible Account (the "INTEREST RESERVE ACCOUNT") with the Trustee, bearing a
designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in
trust for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Note Insurer.

                  (b) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deposit
an amount equal to the Interest Reserve Account Initial Deposit into the
Interest Reserve Account.

                  (c) On the Determination Date for each of the April, May and
June 2002 Payment Dates, to the extent that the Servicer's Certificate indicates
that the funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account are in excess of the
Requisite Reserve Amount for such Payment Date, the Trustee shall withdraw such
excess from the Interest Reserve Account and deposit such amount in the
Collection Account for distribution pursuant to Section 5.7(a) on the related
Payment Date. Any amounts remaining in the Interest Reserve Account on the first
Payment Date occurring on or after last day of the Collection Period for the
Payment Date in June 2002 shall be remitted by the Trustee to the Seller. Upon
any such distribution to the Seller, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders and
the Note Insurer will have no further rights in, or claims to, such amounts.

         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. The
amount to be reimbursed hereunder shall be paid to the Servicer on the related
Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(iii) or 5.7(a)(x), as applicable, upon
certification by the Servicer of such amounts and the provision of such
information to the Trustee and the Note Insurer as may be necessary in the

                                       56
<PAGE>

opinion of the Note Insurer to verify the accuracy of such certification;
provided, however, that the Servicer must provide such certification within
three months of its becoming aware of such mistaken deposit, posting or returned
check. In the event that the Note Insurer has not received evidence satisfactory
to it of the Servicer's entitlement to reimbursement pursuant to this Section,
the Note Insurer shall (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing) give the Trustee notice to such effect, following receipt of which
the Trustee shall not make a distribution to the Servicer in respect of such
amount pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(iii) or 5.7(a)(x), as applicable, or if prior
thereto the Servicer has been reimbursed pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(iii) or
5.7(a)(x), as applicable, the Trustee shall withhold such amounts from amounts
otherwise distributable to the Servicer on the next succeeding Payment Date.

         SECTION 5.4 APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS. All collections for each
Collection Period shall 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 shall be applied, in the case of a Rule
of 78's Receivable, first, to the Scheduled Receivable Payment of such Rule of
78's Receivable and, second, to any late fees accrued with respect to such Rule
of 78's Receivable and, in the case of a Simple Interest Receivable, to interest
and principal in accordance with the Simple Interest Method.

         SECTION 5.5 WITHDRAWALS FROM SPREAD ACCOUNT.

                  (a) In the event that the Servicer's Certificate with respect
to any Determination Date shall state that the Total Distribution Amount with
respect to such Determination Date is insufficient to make the payments required
to be made on the related Payment Date pursuant to Sections 5.7(a)(i) through
(x) (such deficiency being a "DEFICIENCY CLAIM AMOUNT"), then on the fourth
Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date, the Trustee shall
deliver to the Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee, the Note Insurer, and the
Servicer, by hand delivery, telex or facsimile transmission, a written notice (a
"DEFICIENCY NOTICE") specifying the Deficiency Claim Amount for such Payment
Date. Such Deficiency Notice shall direct the Collateral Agent to remit such
Deficiency Claim Amount (to the extent of the funds available to be distributed
pursuant to the Spread Account Agreement) to the Trustee for deposit in the
Collection Account and distribution pursuant to Sections 5.7(a)(i) through (x),
as applicable.

                  (b) Deficiency Notice shall be delivered by 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the fourth Business Day preceding such Payment Date. The
amounts distributed by the Collateral Agent to the Trustee pursuant to a
Deficiency Notice shall be deposited by the Trustee into the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 5.6.

         SECTION 5.6 ADDITIONAL DEPOSITS.

                                       57
<PAGE>

                  (a) The Servicer or CPS, as the case may be, shall deposit or
cause to be deposited in the Collection Account the aggregate Purchase Amount
with respect to Purchased Receivables and all amounts to be paid by CPS pursuant
to its indemnification obligations under the Basic Documents and the Servicer
shall deposit or cause to be deposited therein all amounts to be paid under
Section 11.1. All such deposits shall be made, in immediately available funds,
on the Business Day preceding the Determination Date. On or before the third
Business Day preceding each Payment Date, the Trustee shall remit to the
Collection Account any amounts delivered to the Trustee by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to Section 5.5.

         SECTION 5.7 DISTRIBUTIONS.

         be applied to the payment of such interest on each Class of Notes pro
         rata on the basis of the amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on
         each Class of Notes;

                  (ii) concurrently to the Class A-1 and Class A-2 Noteholders
         on the Payment Date on or immediately following the last day of the
         Funding Period, pro rata, on the basis of each class's share of the
         Aggregate Note Balance, the Note Prepayment Amount;

                                       60
<PAGE>

                  (iii) to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes, the Noteholders'
         Principal Distributable Amount until the Class A-1 Note Balance is
         reduced to zero; and then

                  (iv) to the Holders of the Class A-2 Notes, the Noteholders'
         Principal Distributable Amount (as reduced by any distributions on such
         Payment Date pursuant to clause (iii) above) until the Class A-2 Note
         Balance is reduced to zero.

                  (b) On each Payment Date, the Trustee shall provide or make
available electronically (or, upon written request, by first class mail or
facsimile) send to each Securityholder the statement or statements provided to
the Trustee by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.11 hereof on such Payment
Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Trustee shall have no obligation to provide such
information described in this Section 5.8(b) until it has received the requisite
information from the Servicer.

                  (c) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the
Trust's payment (or allocations of income) to a Noteholder, such tax shall
reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Noteholder in accordance with
this Section 5.8. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from
amounts otherwise distributable to the Noteholders sufficient funds for the
payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization
shall not prevent the 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 shall 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, after consultations with experienced counsel, the Trustee
determines that there is a reasonable likelihood that withholding tax is payable
with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S.
Noteholder), the Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in
accordance with this clause (c). In the event that a Noteholder wishes to apply
for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate
with such Noteholder in making such claim so long as such Noteholder agrees to
reimburse the Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

                  (d) Distributions required to be made to Noteholders on any
Payment Date shall be made to each Noteholder of record on the preceding Record
Date either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of
such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if
(i) such Noteholder shall have provided to the Note Registrar appropriate
written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date and
such Holder's Notes in the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than
$1,000,000 or (ii) such Noteholder is the Seller, or an Affiliate thereof, or,
if not, by check mailed to such Noteholder at the address of such holder
appearing in the Note Register; provided, however, that, unless Definitive Notes
have been issued pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Indenture, with respect to
Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing
Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), distributions will be made by

                                       61
<PAGE>

wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such
nominee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution in respect of any
Note (whether on the Final Scheduled Payment Date or otherwise) will be payable
only upon presentation and surrender of such Note at the office or agency
maintained for that purpose by the Note Registrar pursuant to Section 2.4 of the
Indenture.

         SECTION 5.9 CERTIFICATE DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT.

                  (a) On each Payment Date, the Trustee shall make the following
distributions in the specified order of priority from the amounts on deposit in
the Certificate Distribution Account, if any, in the following amounts and in
the following order of priority:

                  (i) to the Class B Certificateholders, the Class B
         Certificateholders' Interest Distributable Amount;

                  (ii) to the Class B Certificateholders, on the Payment Date on
         or immediately following the last day of the Funding Period, to the
         Class B Certificateholders, the Class B Prepayment Amount;

                  (iii) to the Class B Certificateholders, the Class B
         Certificateholders' Principal Distributable Amount until the Class B
         Certificate Balance is reduced to zero;

                  (iv) to the Class B Certificateholders, the Accelerated
         Principal Distribution Amount until the Class B Certificate Balance is
         reduced to zero; and

                  (v) to the Residual Certificateholder, the remaining amount of
         any funds on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account after the
         distributions pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) have been made.

                  (b) On each Payment Date, the Trustee shall provide or make
available electronically (or, upon written request, by first class mail or
facsimile) to each Certificateholder the statement or statements provided to the
Trustee by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.11 hereof on such Payment Date;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Trustee shall have no obligation to provide such
information described in this Section 5.9(b) until it has received the requisite
information from the Servicer.

                  (c) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the
Trust's payment (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax
shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder in
accordance with this Section 5.9. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed
to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders
sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust
(but such authorization shall not prevent the 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 Certificateholder shall be treated as

                                       62
<PAGE>

cash distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the
Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If, after consultations
with experienced counsel, the Trustee determines that there is a reasonable
likelihood that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such
as a distribution to a non-U.S. Certificateholder), the Trustee may in its sole
discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this clause (c). In the
event that a Certificateholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such
withholding tax, the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such
Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such Certificateholder agrees
to reimburse the Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

                  (d) Distributions required to be made to Certificateholders on
any Payment Date shall be made to each Certificateholder of record on the
preceding Record Date either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds,
to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Certificateholder shall have
provided to the Certificate Registrar appropriate written instructions at least
five Business Days prior to such Payment Date and such Certificateholder's
Certificates in the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than
$1,000,000 or (ii) such Certificateholder is the Seller or an Affiliate thereof,
or, if not, by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address of such
holder appearing in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
final distribution in respect of any Certificate (whether on the Final Scheduled
Payment Date or otherwise) will be payable only upon presentation and surrender
of such Certificate at the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the
Certificate Registrar pursuant to Section 3.8 of the Trust Agreement.

         Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note, will be deemed to have
consented to the provisions of Sections 5.7, 5.8 and 5.9 relating to the
priority of payments, and will be further deemed to have acknowledged that no
property rights in any amount or the proceeds of any such amount shall vest in
such Noteholder until such amounts have been distributed to such Noteholder
pursuant to such provisions; PROVIDED, that the foregoing shall not restrict the
right of any Noteholder, upon compliance with the provisions hereof from seeking
to compel the performance of the provisions hereof by the parties hereto. Each
Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note, will be deemed to have further agreed
that withdrawals of funds by the Collateral Agent from the Spread Account for
application hereunder, shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the
Spread Account Agreement.

         In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Class B
Certificateholder by its acceptance of a Class B Certificate, specifically
acknowledges that (A) interest pursuant to Section 5.9 will be subordinated to
the prior payment in full of all amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.7 and (B)
no amounts shall be applied as principal on the Class B Certificate, unless and
until such amounts have been distributed to such Class B Certificateholder
pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 5.9.

         In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Residual
Certificateholder by acceptance of the Residual Certificate, specifically
acknowledges that no amounts shall be received by it, nor shall it have any

                                       63
<PAGE>

right to receive any amounts, unless and until such amounts have been
distributed pursuant to Section 5.9 above. Each Class B Certificateholder, by
its acceptance of a Class B Certificate, and the Residual Certificateholder, by
its acceptance of the Residual Certificate, further specifically acknowledges
that it has no right to or interest in any moneys at any time held pursuant to
the Spread Account Agreement prior to the release of such moneys as aforesaid,
such moneys being held in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Note
Insurer as their interests may appear prior to such release. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that it is ever determined that any property held in the
Spread Account constitute a pledge of collateral, then the provisions of this
Agreement and the Spread Account Agreement shall be considered to constitute a
security agreement and the Class B Certificateholder and the Residual
Certificateholder hereby grant to the Collateral Agent and to the Trust
Collateral Agent, respectively, a first priority perfected security interest in
such amounts, to be applied as set forth in Section 3.03(b) of the Spread
Account Agreement. In addition, the Residual Certificateholder, by acceptance of
the Residual Certificate, hereby appoints the Class B Certificateholder as its
agent to pledge a first priority perfected security interest in the Spread
Account, and any property held therein from time to time to the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Trust Collateral Agent and the Note Insurer pursuant to
the Spread Account Agreement and agrees to execute and deliver such instruments
of conveyance, assignment, grant, confirmation, etc., as well as any financing
statements, in each case as the Note Insurer shall consider reasonably necessary
in order to perfect the Collateral Agent's Security Interest in the Collateral
(as such terms are defined in the Spread Account Agreement).

         SECTION 5.10 PRE-FUNDING ACCOUNT.

                  (a) On the Closing Date, the Trustee will deposit, on behalf
of the Seller, in the Pre-Funding Account $12,566,542.43 from the proceeds of
the sale of the Notes. On each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Servicer shall
instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account (i) an amount
equal to the Principal Balance of the Subsequent Receivables transferred to the
Issuer on such Subsequent Transfer Date and to distribute such amount to or upon
the order of the Seller upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this
Agreement with respect to such transfer and (ii) an amount equal to the
Subsequent Spread Account Deposit on such Subsequent Transfer Date upon
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement with respect to such
transfer.

                  (b) If the Pre-Funded Amount has not been reduced to zero on
the date on which the Funding Period ends, after giving effect to any reductions
in the Pre-Funded Amount on such date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee
to withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account on the Mandatory Redemption Date the
Pre-Funded Amount (exclusive of any Pre-Funding Earnings) and deposit an amount
equal to the Note Prepayment Amount into the Note Distribution Account and an
amount equal to the Class B Prepayment Amount into the Spread Account.

                  (c) All Pre-Funding Earnings will be deposited in the
Collection Account on each Payment Date and deemed to be part of the Total
Distribution Amount.

make no representation or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of such
documents and will assume no responsibility therefor.

         The Trustee's Internet Website shall be initially located at

from time to time in writing to the Securityholders. In connection with

         SECTION 5.12 OPTIONAL DEPOSITS BY THE NOTE INSURER; NOTICE OF WAIVERS.

                  (a) The Note Insurer shall at any time, and from time to time,
with respect to a Payment Date, have the option (but shall not be required,
except as provided in Section 6.1(a)) to deliver amounts to the Trustee for
deposit into the Collection Account for any of the following purposes: (i) to
provide funds in respect of the payment of fees or expenses of any provider of
services to the Trust with respect to such Payment Date, (ii) to distribute as a

events that might trigger an event of default under the Insurance Agreement and
so notifies the Trustee in writing pursuant to Section 5.02(d) of the Insurance

                                   ----------

                                 THE NOTE POLICY

         SECTION 6.1 CLAIMS UNDER NOTE POLICY.

                  (a) In the event that the Trustee has delivered a Deficiency
Notice with respect to any Determination Date pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof,
the Trustee shall on the related Draw Date determine whether the application of
funds in accordance with Section 5.7, together with any amounts deposited by the
Note Insurer pursuant to Section 5.12 and the application of any Deficiency
Claim Amount pursuant to Section 5.5 would result in a shortfall in amounts
distributable pursuant to Sections 5.7(a)(vii) and 5.7(a)(viii) on any Payment
Date (any such shortfall, a "Note Policy Claim Amount"). If the Note Policy
Claim Amount for such Payment Date is greater than zero, the Trustee shall
furnish to the Note Insurer no later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the
related Draw Date a completed Notice of Claim (as defined in clause (b) below)
in the amount of the Note Policy Claim Amount. Amounts paid by the Note Insurer
pursuant to a claim submitted under this Section 6.1 shall be deposited by the
Trustee into the Note Distribution Account for payment to Noteholders on the
related Payment Date.

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

                  (c) The Trustee shall (i) receive as attorney-in-fact of each
Noteholder any Note Policy Claim Amount from the Note Insurer and (ii) deposit
the same in the Note Distribution Account for distribution to Noteholders. Any
and all Note Policy Claim Amounts disbursed by the Trustee from claims made
under the Note Policy shall not be considered payment by the Trust or from the
Series 2002-A Spread Account with respect to such Notes, and shall not discharge
the obligations of the Trust with respect thereto. The Note 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 Note Insurer, the Trustee and the Noteholders shall assign to the
Note 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 Note Insurer, and the Note 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 (as defined in the Indenture) shall note the Note Insurer's rights as
subrogee upon the register of Noteholders upon receipt from the Note Insurer of

                                       68
<PAGE>

proof of payment by the Note Insurer of any Noteholders' Interest Distributable
Amount or Noteholders' Principal Distributable Amount. The foregoing subrogation
shall in all cases be subject to the rights of the Noteholders to receive all
Scheduled Payments (as defined in the Note Policy) in respect of the Notes.

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

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

         SECTION 6.2 PREFERENCE CLAIMS.

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

proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Note Insurer).

proceeding or the institution of any action (of which the Trustee has actual
knowledge) seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law (a
"Preference Claim") of any distribution made with respect to the Notes. Each
Holder, by its purchase of Notes, and the Trustee hereby agrees that so long as
an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Note Insurer
may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a
Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim including,

                                       69

without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to any
Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersedeas or performance
bond pending any such appeal at the expense of the Note 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 Note Insurer
shall be subrogated to, and each Noteholder and the Trustee hereby delegate and
assign, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights of the trustee and
each Noteholder in the conduct of any proceeding with respect to a Preference
Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary
proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in connection with any
such Preference Claim.

         SECTION 6.3 SURRENDER OF NOTE POLICY. The Trustee shall surrender the
Note Policy to the Note Insurer for cancellation upon the expiration of such
policy in accordance with the terms thereof.

Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property and reciting the details of the
filings or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such
interest.

                  (b) Any corporation (i) into which the Standby Servicer may be
merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which
the Standby Servicer shall be a party, (iii) which acquires by conveyance,
transfer or lease substantially all of the assets of the Standby Servicer, or
(iv) succeeding to the business of the Standby Servicer, in any of the foregoing
cases shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of
the Standby Servicer under this Agreement and, whether or not such assumption
agreement is executed, shall be the successor to the Standby 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 shall
be deemed to release the Standby Servicer from any obligation.

         SECTION 9.4 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF SERVICER, STANDBY SERVICER AND
OTHERS.

         Neither the Servicer, the Standby Servicer nor any of the directors or
officers or employees or agents of the Servicer or Standby Servicer shall be
under any liability to the Trust or the Securityholders, 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 shall
not protect the Servicer, the Standby Servicer or any such person against any

                                       78
<PAGE>

liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of a breach of this
Agreement or willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
duties. CPS, the Standby Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent
of CPS or the Standby 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. In
addition, the Standby Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its
obligations under this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability.

         SECTION 9.5 DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Servicer may at any time delegate
duties under this Agreement to sub-contractors who are in the business of
servicing automotive receivables with the prior written consent of the
Controlling Party as determined pursuant to Section 13.15; provided, however,
that no such delegation or sub-contracting of duties by the Servicer shall
relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties.

         SECTION 9.6 SERVICER AND STANDBY SERVICER NOT TO RESIGN. Subject to the
provisions of Section 9.3, neither the Servicer nor the Standby Servicer shall
resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as
Servicer or Standby Servicer except (i) 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 Standby Servicer, as
the case may be, and the Note Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not
have occurred and be continuing) or a Note Majority (if an Insurer Default shall
have occurred and be continuing) does not elect to waive the obligations of the
Servicer or the Standby 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 or, (ii) in the case of the Standby Servicer, upon the prior written
consent of the Note Insurer. Any such determination permitting the resignation
of the Servicer or Standby Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
to such effect delivered and acceptable to the Trustee, the Owner Trustee and
the Note Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing). No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until, so
long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Standby
Servicer or an entity acceptable to the Note Insurer shall have assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer or, if an Insurer Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Standby Servicer or a successor Servicer
that is an Eligible Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and
obligations of the Standby Servicer. No resignation of the Standby Servicer
shall become effective until, so long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, an entity acceptable to the Note Insurer shall have assumed
the responsibilities and obligations of the Standby Servicer or, if an Insurer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing a Person that is an Eligible
Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Standby
Servicer; provided, however, that in the event a successor Standby Servicer is
not appointed within 60 days after the Standby Servicer has given notice of its
resignation and has provided the Opinion of Counsel required by this Section
9.6, the Standby Servicer may petition a court for its removal.

respect of which such representation, warranty or statement was incorrect shall

Note Insurer or the Noteholders) or by non-extension of the term of the Servicer

of the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer shall be entitled to its pro
rata share of the Servicing Fee for the number of days in the Collection Period

                                       81

prior to the effective date of its termination. On or after the receipt by the
Servicer of such written notice or upon termination of the term of the Servicer,
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 shall pass to, be vested in and
become obligations and responsibilities of the Standby Servicer (or such other
successor Servicer appointed by the Controlling Party under Section 10.3);
provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall 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
successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and
rights of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of
all cash amounts that shall 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 that shall at the time be held
by the terminated Servicer 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. All
reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection
with transferring any Receivable Files to the successor Servicer and amending
this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section
10.2 shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs and expenses. In addition, any successor Servicer
shall be entitled to payment from the immediate predecessor Servicer for
reasonable transition expenses incurred in connection with acting as successor
Servicer, and to the extent not so paid, such payment shall be made pursuant to
Section 5.7 hereof. Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of Servicer
Termination Event, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Rating Agencies.
If requested by the Controlling Party, the successor Servicer shall terminate
the Lockbox Agreement and direct the Obligors to make all payments under the
Receivables directly to the successor Servicer (in which event the successor
Servicer shall 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
shall grant the Trustee, the successor Servicer and the Controlling Party
reasonable access to the terminated Servicer's premises at the terminated
Servicer's expense.

<PAGE>

                  (a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 10.2, upon non-extension of the servicing term
as referred to in Section 4.14, or upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant
to Section 9.6, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions
as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the
date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a
notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of
expiration and non-renewal of the term of the Servicer upon the expiration of
such term, and, in the case of resignation, until the later of (x) the date 45
days from the delivery to the Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or
written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and (y) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become
unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and
accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of termination of the Servicer,
Bank One Trust Company, N.A., as Standby Servicer, shall assume the obligations
of Servicer hereunder on the date specified in such written notice (the
"Assumption Date") pursuant to the Servicing and Lockbox Processing Assumption
Agreement or, in the event that the Note Insurer shall have determined that a
Person other than the Standby Servicer shall be the successor Servicer in
accordance with Section 10.2, on the date of the execution of a written
assumption agreement by such Person to serve as successor Servicer.
Notwithstanding the Standby Servicer's assumption of, and its agreement to
perform and observe, all duties, responsibilities and obligations of CPS as
Servicer under this Agreement arising on and after the Assumption Date, the
Standby Servicer shall not be deemed to have assumed or to become liable for, or
otherwise have any liability for any duties, responsibilities, obligations or
liabilities of CPS or any predecessor Servicer arising before the Assumption
Date, whether provided for by the terms of this Agreement, arising by operation
of law or otherwise, including, without limitation, any liability for any
duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities (i) of CPS or any
predecessor Servicer arising on or before the Assumption Date under Section 4.7
or 9.2 of this Agreement, regardless of when the liability, duty, responsibility
or obligation of CPS or any predecessor Servicer therefor arose, whether
provided by the terms of this Agreement, arising by operation of law or
otherwise, or (ii) under Section 9.2(a)(ii), (iv) or (v). Notwithstanding the
above, if the Standby Servicer shall be legally unable or unwilling to act as
Servicer, and an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Standby Servicer, the Trustee or a Note Majority 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 Standby
Servicer shall act as successor Servicer unless it is legally unable to do so,
in which event the outgoing Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a
successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment. Subject to Section
9.6, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed as relieving the Standby
Servicer of its obligation to succeed as successor Servicer upon the termination
of the Servicer pursuant to Section 10.2, the resignation of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 9.6 or the non-extension of the servicing term of the
Servicer, as referred to in Section 4.14. If upon the termination of the
Servicer pursuant to Section 10.2 or the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to
Section 9.6, the Controlling Party appoints a successor Servicer other than the
Standby Servicer, the Standby Servicer shall not be relieved of its duties as
Standby Servicer hereunder.

<PAGE>

                  (b) Any successor Servicer shall 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.

         SECTION 10.4 NOTIFICATION TO NOTEHOLDERS AND CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. Upon
any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer, the Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof to each Securityholder, the Owner
Trustee and to the Rating Agencies.

         SECTION 10.5 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Subject to the approval of the
Note Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing),
a Note Majority may, on behalf of all the Securityholders, waive any default by
the Servicer in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the
consequences thereof (except a default in making any required deposits to or
payments from any of the Trust Accounts in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to
exist, and any Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to
have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement). No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent
thereto.

         SECTION 10.6 ACTION UPON CERTAIN FAILURES OF THE SERVICER. In the event
that the Trustee shall have knowledge of any failure of the Servicer specified
in Section 10.1 which would give rise to a right of termination under such
Section upon the Servicer's failure to remedy the same after notice, the Trustee
shall give notice thereof to the Servicer and the Note Insurer. For all purposes
of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6.2(b) and this
Section 10.6), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure
of the Servicer as specified in Sections 10.1(c) though (i) unless notified
thereof in writing by the Servicer, the Note Insurer or by a Securityholder. The
Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to investigate or inquire as to any
potential failure of the Servicer specified in Section 10.1.

         SECTION 11.1 OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF ALL RECEIVABLES.

                  (a) (i) On the last day of any Collection Period as of which
the Collateral Balance shall be less than or equal to 10% of the Original
Collateral Balance, the Servicer shall have the option to purchase the Owner
Trust Estate, other than the Trust Accounts (with the consent of the Note
Insurer if such purchase would result in a claim on the Note Policy or would
result in any amount owing to the Note Insurer under the Insurance Agreement
remaining unpaid). To exercise such option, the Servicer shall (subject to the
proviso below) deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.6 an
amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Amount for the Receivables (including

                                       84
<PAGE>

Liquidated Receivables), plus the appraised value of any other property held by
the Trust, such value to be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by
the Servicer, the Note Insurer and the Trustee, and shall succeed to all
interests in and to the Trust; provided, however, that the amount to be paid for
such purchase shall be sufficient to pay the full amount of principal and
accrued interest, if any, then due and payable on the Notes and Class B
Certificates and the costs and expenses of the Trust including without express
limitation, expenses incurred by the Trust in connection with such optional
purchase.

                  (b) Notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given by
the Servicer, which notice shall include, among other things, the items
specified in Section 9.1(c) of the Trust Agreement, to the Owner Trustee, the
Trustee, the Note Insurer and the Rating Agencies as soon as practicable after
the Servicer has received notice thereof.

                  (c) 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 Owner Trustee will succeed to the rights of, and assume the obligations of,
the Trustee under this Agreement.

         SECTION 12.1 ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES.

                  (a) DUTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE INDENTURE. The Servicer shall
perform all its duties and the duties of the Issuer under the Indenture. In
addition, the Servicer shall consult with the Owner Trustee as the Servicer
deems appropriate regarding the duties of the Issuer under the Indenture. The

filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the
Issuer to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Indenture. In furtherance of
the foregoing, the Servicer shall take all necessary action that is the duty of
the Issuer to take pursuant to the Indenture, including, without limitation,
pursuant to Sections 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 3.10, 3.17, 5.1(b), 7.3, 8.3, 9.2,

         or the Owner Trustee or shall cause the preparation by other
         appropriate Persons of all such documents, reports, filings,

         this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or under state and federal
         tax and securities laws, and at the request of the Owner Trustee shall

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

                  (iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Basic
         Documents to the contrary, the Servicer shall be responsible for
         performance of the duties of the Issuer or the Seller set forth in
         Section 5.1 of the Trust Agreement with respect to, among other things,
         accounting and reports to Certificateholders; provided, however, that

         responsibility for the distribution of the Schedule K-1s necessary to
         enable each Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income
         tax returns.

                  (iv) The Servicer shall perform the duties of the Servicer
         specified in Section 10.2 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 this Agreement or 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
         shall be in accordance with any directions received from the Issuer and
         shall be, in the Servicer's opinion, no less favorable to the Issuer in
         any material respect.

                  (c) TAX MATTERS. The Servicer shall prepare and file, on
behalf of the Seller, all tax returns, tax elections, financial statements and
such annual or other reports of the Issuer as are necessary for preparation of
tax reports as provided in Article V of the Trust Agreement, including without
limitation, IRS forms 1099 and 1066. All tax returns will be signed by the
Seller.

                  (a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
parties hereto, with the consent of the Trustee (which consent may not be
unreasonably withheld), with the prior written consent of the Note Insurer (so
long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) but without the
consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, 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 shall not be

provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Trustee, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Noteholder or Certificateholder; provided

shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the Note Insurer.

         This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties

adversely affect the interests of the Note Insurer.

         Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the
Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or
consent to each Securityholder and the Rating Agencies.

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

Opinion of Counsel to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Trustee and the Note
Insurer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Note Insurer,

any such amendment. The Servicer shall at all times maintain its jurisdiction of
organization within the United States of America. Each of the Seller and
Servicer shall at all times be organized solely under the laws of one state.

Receivable and the amounts from time to time deposited in the Collection Account
in respect of such Receivable.

                  (e) The Servicer shall 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 shall 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 shall be deleted from or modified on the
Servicer's computer systems when, and only when, the related Receivable shall
have been paid in full or repurchased.

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

                  (g) The Servicer shall permit the Trustee, the Standby
Servicer and the Note Insurer and its agents at any time during normal business
hours to inspect, audit, and make copies of and abstracts from the Servicer's
records regarding any Receivable.

                  (h) Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Note
Insurer, the Owner Trustee or to the 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

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.

contemplated by this Subsequent Transfer Agreement and the Basic Documents and
the fulfillment of the terms of this Subsequent Transfer Agreement and the Basic

provisions of or constitute (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) a
default under the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Seller, or any
indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the
Seller 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
