reincorporation in a different jurisdiction would make any financing or
continuation statement or notice of lien filed under this Agreement or the other
Basic Documents seriously misleading within the meaning of applicable provisions
of the UCC or any title statute, the Master Servicer, within the time period
required by applicable law, shall file such financing statements or amendments
as may be required to preserve and protect the interests of the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Securityholders in the Contracts, Financed
Vehicles and the proceeds thereof. Promptly thereafter, the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee an

                                       24

Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing
statements or amendments necessary fully to preserve and protect the interests
of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and Securityholders in the
Contracts, Financed Vehicles and the proceeds thereof have been filed, and
reciting the details of such filings.

      During the term of this Agreement, the Seller and WFS shall each maintain
its chief executive office in one of the states of the United States, other than
Louisiana or Tennessee.

      The Master Servicer shall pay all reasonable costs and disbursements in
connection with the perfection and the maintenance of perfection, as against all
third parties, of the Indenture Trustee's right, title and interest in and to
the Contracts and in connection with maintaining the first priority security
interest in the Financed Vehicles and the proceeds thereof.

                                  THE CONTRACTS

      Section 3.01. Representations and Warranties of the Seller. The Seller
hereby makes the following representations and warranties on which the Issuer is
deemed to have relied in acquiring the Contracts. Such representations and
warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of
the Closing Date, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the
Contracts to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to the Indenture. The representations and warranties set forth in Sections
3.01(b)(ii), (iv), (xvi), (xxviii) and (xxix) may not be waived.

      (a)   As to the Seller:

            (i)   Organization and Good Standing. The Seller is duly organized
      and validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of
      the State of California, with power and authority to own its properties
      and to conduct its business, and has the corporate power, authority and
      legal right to acquire and own the Contracts;

            (ii)  Due Qualification. The Seller is duly qualified to do business
      as a foreign corporation in good standing, and shall have obtained all
      necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the
      ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business shall
      require such qualifications.

            (iii) Power and Authority. The Seller has the corporate power and
      authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its
      terms; the Seller has full power and authority to sell and assign the
      property to be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Issuer, and has
      duly authorized such sale and assignment to the Issuer by all necessary
      corporate action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this
      Agreement has been duly authorized by the Seller by all necessary
      corporate action.

            (iv)  Binding Obligation. This Agreement constitutes (A) a valid
      sale, transfer and assignment of the Contracts, enforceable against
      creditors of and purchasers from the Seller and (B) a legal, valid and
      binding obligation of the Seller enforceable in accordance with its terms,
      except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
      reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
      creditors' rights in general and by general principles of equity,
      regardless of whether such enforceability shall be considered in a
      proceeding in equity or at law.

            (v)   No Violation. The consummation of the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do
      not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions
      of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default
      under, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Seller, or any
      indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Seller is a party or
      by which it is bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien
      upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture,
      agreement or other instrument (other than

                                       26
<PAGE>

      pursuant to the Basic Documents to which the Seller is a party); nor
      violate any law or, to the best of the Seller's knowledge, any order, rule
      or regulation applicable to the Seller of any court or of any federal or
      State regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental
      instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties.

            (vi)  No Tax Liens. The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax
      lien filings against it.

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

      (b)   As to each Contract or all of the Contracts, as the case may be:

            (i)   Schedule of Contracts. The information pertaining to such
      Contract set forth in the related Schedule of Contracts was true and
      correct in all material respects at the Closing Date and the calculations
      of the Principal Balances appearing in such Schedule of Contracts for each
      such Contract at the Closing Date ) and Transfer Date and at each
      Distribution Date thereafter prior to the related Maturity Date have been
      performed in accordance with this Agreement and are accurate.

            (ii)  Security Interests.

                  (1)   As of the Closing Date, the Seller has taken all steps
            necessary to perfect its security interest against the Obligors in
            the Financed Vehicles securing the Contracts and each Contract
            granted a valid and enforceable first priority security interest in
            favor of WFS (or to the Bank, a Dealer or a Third Party Lender,
            which security interest has been assigned to WFS) in the related
            Financed Vehicle, and such security interest has been duly perfected
            and 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 lien for unpaid taxes or
            unpaid storage or repair charges which may arise after the Closing
            Date). The Seller has caused 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 Contracts granted to the Issuer hereunder. All
            financing statements filed against the Seller in favor of the Issuer
            in connection herewith describing the Contracts contain a statement
            to the following effect: "A purchase of or

                                       27
<PAGE>

            security interest in any collateral described in this financing
            statement will violate the rights of the Issuer unless the Issuer
            authorizes it."

            (iii) Title Documents. (A) If the related Financed Vehicle was
      originated in a State in which notation of a security interest on the
      Title Document is required or permitted to perfect such security interest,
      the Title Document for such Financed Vehicle shows, or if a new or
      replacement Title Document is being applied for with respect to such
      Financed Vehicle the Title Document will be received within 180 days of
      the Closing Date and will show WFS named as the original secured party
      under the related Contract as the holder of a first priority security
      interest in such Financed Vehicle, and (B) if the related Financed Vehicle
      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 WFS
      named as the original secured party under the related Contract, and in
      either case, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have the same
      rights as such secured party has or would have (if such secured party were
      still the owner of the Contract) against all parties claiming an interest
      in such Financed Vehicle. With respect to each Contract for which the
      Title Document has not yet been returned from the Registrar of Titles, WFS
      has received written evidence from the related Dealer that such Title
      Document showing WFS as first lienholder has been applied for.

            (iv)  Title to the Contracts. Immediately prior to the Closing Date,
      the Seller will have good and indefeasible title to and will be the sole
      owner of each Contract to be transferred to the Issuer pursuant to Section
      2.01 free of liens, claims, encumbrances and rights of any Person and,
      upon transfer of such Contract to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.01, the
      Issuer will have good and indefeasible title to and will be the sole owner
      of such Contract free of liens, claims, encumbrances and rights of any
      Person, except for the Lien of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture;
      provided, however, the Issuer or Indenture Trustee may be required to file
      or record a transfer of the lien on a Financed Vehicle prior to
      enforcement of that lien in the name of the Issuer or Indenture Trustee,
      respectively.

            (v)   Current in Payment. As of the Closing Date, such Contract is
      no more than 30 days delinquent in payment as to all or any portion of any
      installment of Monthly P&I.

            (vi)  Tax Liens. As of the Closing Date, there is no lien against
      the related Financed Vehicle for delinquent taxes.

            (vii) Rescission, Offset, Etc. As of the Closing Date, there is no
      right of rescission, offset, defense or counterclaim to the obligation of
      the Obligor to pay the unpaid principal or interest due under such
      Contract; the operation of the terms of such Contract or the exercise of
      any right thereunder will not render such Contract unenforceable in whole
      or in part or subject to any right of rescission, offset, defense or
      counterclaim, and no such right of rescission, offset, defense or
      counterclaim has been asserted.

                                       28
<PAGE>

            (viii) Mechanics' Liens. As of the Closing Date, there are no liens
      or claims for work, labor, material or storage affecting the related
      Financed Vehicle which are or may become a lien prior to or equal with the
      security interest granted by such Contract.

            (ix)  Compliance with Laws. Such Contract, and the sale of the
      Financed Vehicle sold thereunder, complied, at the time it was made, in
      all material respects with all applicable State and federal laws (and
      regulations thereunder), including usury, equal credit opportunity, fair
      credit reporting, truth-in-lending or other similar laws, the Federal
      Trade Commission Act, and applicable State laws regulating retail
      installment sales contracts and installment loans in general and motor
      vehicle retail installment contracts and installment loans in particular;
      and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, including
      the transfer of ownership of the Contracts to the Issuer, and the pledge
      of the Contracts to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer, and the receipt
      of interest by the Securityholders, will not involve the violation of any
      applicable State or federal law.

            (x)   Valid and Binding. Such Contract is the legal, valid and
      binding obligation of the Obligor thereunder and is enforceable in
      accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by
      bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
      creditors' rights generally; 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; and the terms of such Contract have not been waived or modified
      in any respect, except by instruments that are part of the Contract
      Documents.

            (xi)  Enforceability. Such Contract contains customary and
      enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
      holder or assignee thereof adequate for the realization against the
      collateral of the benefits of the security, subject, as to enforceability,
      to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the
      enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

            (xii) No Default. As of the Closing Date, there was no default,
      breach, violation or event permitting acceleration existing under such
      Contract (except payment delinquencies permitted by clause (v) of this
      subsection) and no event which, with notice and the expiration of any
      grace or cure period, would constitute such a default, breach, violation
      or event permitting acceleration under such Contract, and the Seller has
      not waived any such default, breach, violation or event permitting
      acceleration except payment delinquencies permitted by clause (v) of this
      subsection.

            (xiii) Insurance. At the Closing Date, the related Financed Vehicle
      will be covered by (A) a comprehensive and collision insurance policy (1)
      in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (a) its actual cash value or
      (b) the principal amount due from the Obligor under the related Contract,
      (2) naming WFS as a loss payee and (3) insuring against loss and damage
      due to fire, theft, transportation, collision and other risks generally
      covered by comprehensive and collision coverage or (B) an LDI Policy;
      provided, however, that if such Financed Vehicle has an unpaid principal
      balance of less than $4,000.00 or the related Contract has six or fewer
      months remaining before its

                                       29
<PAGE>

      Maturity Date, it will not be required to be covered by the insurance
      described in this subparagraph; provided further, to the extent not paid
      in full by the Obligor, the related Advanced Insurance Premium then due
      shall be an expense of the Master Servicer. Each of the Seller, WFS and
      the Master Servicer shall at all times comply with all of the provisions
      of such insurance policies and the LDI Policy applicable to such Financed
      Vehicle.

            (xiv) Acquisition of Contract. Such Contract was either acquired by
      WFS (or its predecessor in interest) from a Dealer or a Third Party Lender
      with which it ordinarily does business or the Bank or originated directly
      by WFS in the ordinary course of its business, and no adverse selection
      procedures have been utilized in selecting such Contract from all other
      similar contracts purchased by the Seller.

            (xv)  Scheduled Payments. As of the Closing Date, scheduled payments
      under such Contract are applied in accordance with the Rule of 78's method
      or the simple interest method and are due monthly in level payments
      through its Maturity Date sufficient to fully amortize the principal
      balance of such Contract by its Maturity Date, assuming timely payment by
      Obligors on Simple Interest Contracts, except that the payment in the
      first or last month in the life of the Contract may be minimally different
      from the level payment.

            (xvi) One Original. There is only one original of such Contract and
      such original, together with all other Contract Documents, is being held
      by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.04. The Seller has received a
      written acknowledgement from the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer
      is holding the Contract Documents that constitute or evidence the
      Contracts solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Issuer. None of the
      Contract Documents that constitute or evidence each Contract has any marks
      or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise
      conveyed to any Person other than the Issuer.

            (xvii) Characteristics. With respect to each Contract owned by WFS

      Maturity Date later than the last day of the Collection Period immediately
      preceding the Class D Final Scheduled Distribution Date.

      Balance of such Contract was not greater than the purchase price of the

      on the Rule of 78's or the simple interest method and such APR shall be
      equal to or greater than 3.00% for Rule of 78's Contracts and Simple
      Interest Contracts.

            (xxiii) WFS, Bank and Third Party Lender Originations. With respect
      to the Contracts owned by WFS at the Statistical Calculation Date, the
      aggregate Principal Balance as of the Statistical Calculation Date of such

      Statistical Calculation Date Principal Balance.

            (xxiv) Simple Interest Contracts. With respect to each Contract
      owned by WFS at the Statistical Calculation Date, as of the Statistical
      Calculation Date, approximately 99.06% of the Contracts by Statistical
      Calculation Date Principal Balance shall be Simple Interest Contracts and
      approximately 0.93% of the Contracts by Statistical Calculation Date
      Principal Balance shall be Rule of 78's Contracts.

            (xxv) New or Pre-Owned Vehicles. At least 29.84% of the Contracts

      Obligor that is not a local, state or federal governmental entity.

            (xxviii) Chattel Paper. Each Contract constitutes "tangible chattel
      paper" as defined in the applicable UCC; provided, however, that upon
      satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, a Contract may constitute
      "electronic chattel paper" as defined in the applicable UCC.

            (xxix) Priority of Interest. This Agreement creates a valid and
      continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Contracts in
      favor of the Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens,
      and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the
      Seller. Other than the security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant to
      this Agreement, the Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a
      security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Contracts. The
      Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing
      statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral
      covering the Contracts other than any financing statement relating to the
      security interest granted to the Issuer hereunder, the security interest

                                       31
<PAGE>

      terminated or subordinated to the rights of the Issuer and the Indenture
      Trustee.

            (xxx) Contract Characteristics as of the Closing Date. The
      representations and warranties made in this Section with respect to
      certain Contracts as of the Statistical Calculation Date shall also be

      Closing Date.

            (xxxi) Obligor Bankruptcy. As of the Closing Date, the Seller is not
      aware of any Obligor that is or has been, since the origination of such
      Contract, the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.

            (xxxii) No Extensions. The number of, or timing of, scheduled
      payments has not been changed on any Contract on or before the Closing
      Date, except as reflected on the computer tape delivered in connection
      with the sale of the Contracts.

            (xxxiii) Repossession. On or prior to the Closing Date, no Financed
      Vehicle has been repossessed.

            (xxxiv) Prepayment of Contracts. Any prepayment in full of a
      Contract by an Obligor to the Master Servicer will consist of the entire
      outstanding principal balance of such Contract together with all accrued
      and unpaid interest thereon.

      Section 3.02. Purchase of Certain Contracts. The representations and
warranties of the Seller set forth in Section 3.01 shall survive delivery of the
Contract Documents to the Owner Trustee and shall continue until the termination
of this Agreement. Upon discovery by the Seller, the Master Servicer or the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be, that any of such representations and
warranties was incorrect as of the time made or that any of the Contract
Documents relating to any such Contract has not been properly executed by the
Obligor or contains a material defect or has not been received by the Owner
Trustee, such Person making such discovery shall give prompt notice to the other
such Persons. If any such defect, incorrectness or omission materially and
adversely affects the interest of the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Issuer the Seller shall, within 90
days after discovery thereof or receipt of notice thereof, cure the defect or
eliminate or otherwise cure the circumstances or condition in respect of which
such representation or warranty was incorrect as of the time made. If the Seller
is unable to do so, it shall purchase such Contract on the Master Servicer
Report Date next succeeding the end of such 90-day period from the Issuer for an
amount equal to the related Repurchase Amount in the manner set forth in Section
5.04. Upon any such purchase, the Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall
be necessary to vest in the Seller title to any Contract purchased hereunder.
The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the
Securityholders with respect to a breach of the Seller's representations and
warranties pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be to enforce the Seller's obligation
to repurchase Contracts pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that the
Seller shall indemnify the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and
the Securityholders against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and
liabilities, including reasonable fees and

                                       32
<PAGE>

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.

      Section 3.03. Custody of Contract Files.

      (a)   Subject to Sections 3.07, 7.04 and 8.01, the Owner Trustee hereby
irrevocably appoints the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer hereby accepts
such appointment, to act as the agent of the Owner Trustee as custodian of the
Contract Documents and any and all other documents that the Master Servicer
shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to a
Contract, Obligor or Financed Vehicle, which are hereby constructively delivered
to the Owner Trustee with respect to each Contract:

            (i)   the original of the Contract;

            (ii)  documents evidencing the existence of physical damage
      insurance covering the Financed Vehicles;

            (iii) the original credit application fully executed by the Obligor;
      and

            (iv)  the original certificate of title or such documents that the
      Master Servicer shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary
      procedures, evidencing the security interest of the Master Servicer in the
      Financed Vehicle.

      (b)   The Master Servicer shall maintain the Contract Documents held by it
(by itself or through one or more Subservicers) in a file area physically
separate from the other installment sales contracts and installment loans owned
or serviced by it or any of its Affiliates, which area shall be clearly marked
to indicate the Issuer as the owner of, and the security interest of the
Indenture Trustee in, the Contract Documents and shall mark the Contracts in the
same manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if failure to do so will not result
in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal by any Rating Agency of its
then-applicable rating on any Class of Notes, the Master Servicer shall not be
required to segregate or mark the Contracts and the file area may contain
contract documents for other motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts
and installment loans owned or serviced by the Master Servicer.

      The Master Servicer shall cause the electronic record of the Contracts
maintained by it to be clearly marked to indicate that the Contracts have been
sold to the Issuer and shall not in any way assert or claim an ownership
interest in the Contracts. It is intended by the Master Servicer's and the
Seller's agreement pursuant to this Section that the Owner Trustee shall be
deemed to have possession of the Contract Documents for purposes of Section
9-313 of the UCC of the State in which the Contract Documents are located.

      Section 3.04. Duties of Master Servicer as Custodian.

      (a)   Safekeeping. The Master Servicer shall hold the Contract Files on
behalf of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee for the use and benefit of
all present and future Securityholders, and maintain such accurate and complete
accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Contract File as shall
enable the Issuer to comply with this Agreement. In performing its duties as
custodian the Master Servicer shall act with reasonable

                                       33
<PAGE>

care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Master Servicer
exercises with respect to the files relating to all comparable automobile
contracts that the Master Servicer owns or services for itself or others. The
Master Servicer shall , as the Master Servicer deems appropriate, conduct or
cause to be conducted, periodic physical inspections of the Contract Files held
by it under this Agreement and of the related accounts, records and computer
systems, and shall maintain them in such a manner as shall enable the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee to verify the accuracy of the Master
Servicer's record keeping. The Master Servicer shall promptly report to the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to hold the
Contract Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein
provided and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.

      (b)   Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Master Servicer shall
maintain each Contract File at one of its offices specified in Schedule B or at
such other location as shall be specified to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee by 30 days' prior written notice. The Master Servicer shall permit the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee or their respective duly authorized
representatives, attorneys or auditors to inspect the Contract Files and the
related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Master Servicer
at such times as such Persons may request. On or prior to the first Business Day
after the 14th day of each calendar month, the Master Servicer shall deliver a
data tape to the Backup Servicer containing information necessary for the Backup
Servicer to generate the statement required pursuant to Section 3.07(h) of the
Indenture and otherwise necessary for the servicing and administration of the
Contracts.

      (c)   Release of Documents. Upon instruction from the Indenture Trustee (a
copy of which shall be furnished to the Owner Trustee), the Master Servicer
shall release any Contract File to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee's agent, or the Indenture Trustee's designee, as the case may be, at
such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon as
practicable.

      (d)   Title Documents. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee within (i) 120 days of the Closing Date, a
schedule of Title Documents for Financed Vehicles which, as of the Closing Date,
did not show the Master Servicer as first lienholder and (ii) 180 days of the
Closing Date, a schedule of Title Documents for Financed Vehicles which as of
the date prior to such delivery do not show the Master Servicer as first
lienholder and as to which the Seller is obligated to repurchase pursuant to the
provisions hereof.

      Section 3.05. Instructions; Authority to Act. The Master Servicer shall be
deemed to have received proper instructions (a copy of which shall be furnished
to the Owner Trustee) with respect to the Contract Files upon its receipt of
written instructions signed by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee.

      Section 3.06. Indemnification. Subject to Section 8.02, the Master
Servicer shall indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee,
the Backup Servicer and the Securityholders for any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses of any
kind whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Issuer, the Owner Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Noteholders or the
Certificateholders as the

                                       34
<PAGE>

result of any improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance
and custody by the Master Servicer of the Contract Files, or the failure of the
Master Servicer to perform its duties and service the Contracts in compliance
with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall not be liable to the Owner Trustee for any portion of any such amount
resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Owner
Trustee and the Master Servicer shall not be liable to the Indenture Trustee for
any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence of the Indenture Trustee. The Master Servicer shall also indemnify
and hold harmless the Issuer, the Trust Estate and the Securityholders against
any taxes that may be asserted at any time against any of them with respect to
the Contracts, including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation,
personal property, privilege or license taxes (but exclusive of federal or other
income taxes arising out of payments on the Contracts) and the costs and
expenses in defending against such taxes. The Master Servicer shall immediately
notify the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer if a
claim is made by a third party with respect to the Contracts, shall assume, with
the consent of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer,
the defense of any such claim, pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including counsel fees, and shall promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any
judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the Issuer.

      Section 3.07. Effective Period and Termination. The Master Servicer's
appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Cut-Off Date and shall
continue in full force and effect until terminated under this Section, upon the
termination of the Issuer or the repurchase of all of the Contracts by the
Seller, whichever is first to occur. If the Master Servicer shall resign in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or if all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer shall have been terminated pursuant to
Section 8.01, the appointment of the Master Servicer as custodian shall be
terminated by the Indenture Trustee, by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less
than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class,
by the Owner Trustee or by Certificateholders evidencing not less than a
majority of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest, in the same manner as
the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or such Holders may terminate the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01. As soon
as practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Master Servicer
shall, at its own expense, deliver the Contract Files to the Owner Trustee or
its agent or as designated by the Owner Trustee at such place or places as the
Owner Trustee may reasonably designate and shall cooperate in good faith to
effect such delivery.

      Section 3.08. Nonpetition Covenant.

      (a)   Neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer shall petition or
otherwise invoke the process of any court or government authority for the
purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer under any federal
or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official
of the Issuer or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding
up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer.

      (b)   The Master Servicer shall not, nor cause the Seller to, petition or
otherwise invoke the process of any court or government authority for the
purpose of commencing or sustaining a

                                       35
<PAGE>

case against the Seller under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator or other similar official of the Seller or any substantial part of
its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the
Seller.

      Section 3.09. Collecting Title Documents Not Delivered at the Closing
Date. In the case of any Contract in respect of which written evidence from the
Dealer selling or transferring the related Financed Vehicle that the Title
Document for such Financed Vehicle showing the Master Servicer as first
lienholder has been applied for from the Registrar of Titles was delivered to
the Owner Trustee on the Closing Date and in lieu of a Title Document, the
Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to collect such Title Document from
the Registrar of Titles as promptly as possible. If such Title Document showing
the Master Servicer as first lienholder is not received by the Master Servicer
or the related Subservicer within 180 days after the Closing Date, then the
representation and warranty in Section 3.01(b)(iii) in respect of such Contract
shall be deemed to have been incorrect in a manner that materially and adversely
affects the Certificateholders and the Seller shall purchase such Contract, on
or before the Master Servicer Report Date next succeeding the end of the 180-day
period, from the Issuer for an amount equal to the related Repurchase Amount in
the manner set forth in Section 5.04.

                                       36

                                  ARTICLE FOUR

                   ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF CONTRACTS

      Section 4.01. Duties of Master Servicer. The Master Servicer, acting alone
or through one or more Subservicers as provided in this Section, shall, as agent
for the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, manage, service, administer and
make collections on the Contracts. The Master Servicer agrees that its servicing
of the Contracts shall be carried out in accordance with customary and usual
procedures of financial institutions which service motor vehicle retail
installment sales contracts and installment loans and, to the extent more
exacting, the procedures used by the Master Servicer in respect of such
contracts serviced by it for its own account. In accordance with the foregoing,
the Master Servicer may, whenever an Obligor has become delinquent or the Master
Servicer believes an Obligor may become delinquent, in order to preserve the
ultimate collectability of amounts due on a Contract, modify the payment
schedule on any Contract by reducing the APR on such Contract without the
consent of any Rating Agency; provided, however, that the new APR shall not be
less than the sum of (i) the Class D Rate and (ii) the Servicing Fee Percent. In
addition, in order to preserve the Trust Estate, the Master Servicer may,
without the consent of any Rating Agency, reduce the principal amount of a
Contract (i.e., write-down a portion of the principal amount due on such
Contract and, accordingly, lower the Monthly P&I on such Contract) to the extent
funds are available in the Spread Account to cover such reduction; provided,
however, the total amount of such modifications pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence and this sentence and reductions (i) may not affect more than
1% of the Cut-Off Date Aggregate Principal Balance through the Distribution Date
nine months prior to the Class D Final Scheduled Distribution Date and (ii)
during a Collection Period shall not affect Contracts having an aggregate
Principal Balance greater than 0.1% of the Aggregate Principal Balance at the
beginning of such Collection Period (Contracts that the Master Servicer is
required to modify pursuant to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the
California Military Reservist Relief Act, any similar State law or any other
law, rule, regulation or court order shall not be included in either of such
calculations). Any such modifications or reductions exceeding such limits may be
made only with the consent of each Rating Agency. The Master Servicer may also
extend the Maturity Date on a Contract in accordance with Section 4.02. The
Master Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting of all payments,
responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Contracts, investigating
delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to
Obligors, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements
to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee with respect to distributions and
filing applicable United States tax returns for the Issuer on an annual basis,
based on a tax year for the Issuer that is the calendar year. The Master
Servicer shall have, subject to the terms hereof, full power and authority,
acting alone, and subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of
this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with such managing,
servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or
desirable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall commence
repossession efforts in respect of any Financed Vehicle respecting which the
related Contract is four or more months delinquent (except for those Contracts
that are subject to the jurisdiction of any bankruptcy court). Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer is authorized and empowered by

                                       37
<PAGE>

the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of
itself, the Trust, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Contracts or to the
Financed Vehicles. The Owner Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer all
documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out
its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

      On the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee a list of Servicing Officers involved in, or
responsible for, the administration and servicing of the Contracts, which list
shall from time to time be updated by the Master Servicer on request of the
Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.

      The Master Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements with one or
more Subservicers approved by the Indenture Trustee for the servicing and
administration of certain of the Contracts (including holding the related
Contract Files as custodian). The Master Servicer shall notify each Rating
Agency promptly if a Subservicer is hired. References herein to actions taken or
to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Contracts include actions
taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. Each
Subservicing Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are not
inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Master Servicer and the Subservicer
have agreed. With the approval of the Master Servicer, a Subservicer may
delegate its servicing obligations to third-party servicers, but such
Subservicer will remain obligated under the related Subservicing Agreement. The
Master Servicer and a Subservicer may enter into amendments thereto or different
forms of Subservicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or
different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this
Agreement or materially adversely affect the rights of Noteholders or
Certificateholders hereunder.

      The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing
Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Subservicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement;
provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Subservicing
Agreement by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer, the Master Servicer
shall either act directly as servicer of the related Contract or enter into a
Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer approved by the Indenture
Trustee which will be bound by the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement.

      Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or
a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through such Persons or otherwise,
the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee and the Securityholders for the servicing and administering of
the Contracts in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing
Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from a Subservicer
and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master
Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Contracts. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a Subservicer for
indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

                                       38
<PAGE>

      Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other
transactions or servicing arrangements relating to the Contracts involving a
Subservicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer in its capacity as such, and
not as an originator of Contracts, shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer
or such Affiliate, as the case may be, and the Master Servicer alone, and none
of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders nor the
Certificateholders shall be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer
except as set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph.

      In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be acting
as servicer under this Agreement (including by reason of a Servicer Default),
the Indenture Trustee or its designee may, at the sole discretion of the
Indenture Trustee, thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such
Master Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement selected by the Indenture
Trustee in its sole discretion. In such event, the Indenture Trustee, its
designee or the successor servicer for the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to
have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced
the Master Servicer as a party to each such Subservicing Agreement to the same
extent as if such Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party
except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability
or obligations under the Subservicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, upon
request of the Indenture Trustee but at the expense of the Master Servicer,
deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each such
Subservicing Agreement and the Contracts then being serviced and an accounting
of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect
the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreement to the assuming
party.

      The Master Servicer, each Subservicer, and any new servicer appointed
following the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, including any
Subservicer, shall at all times comply with all applicable federal, state and
local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances governing or relating to the
privacy rights of the Obligors in connection with its performance of its duties
under this Agreement including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The Master Servicer,
each Subservicer, and any new servicer appointed following the resignation or
termination of the Master Servicer, including any Subservicer, shall implement
such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure
the security and confidentiality of the "nonpublic personal information" of each
Obligor, (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and
integrity of such nonpublic personal information and (c) protect against any
unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information.

      The Master Servicer shall deposit in or credit to the Collection Account
within two Business Days of receipt all collections of Monthly P&I received
after the Cut-Off Date in respect of the Contracts together with the proceeds of
all Prepayments and any accompanying interest; provided, however, that, to the
extent any such installment of Monthly P&I or any such Prepayment proceeds are
received in respect of a Contract as to which there is an outstanding and
unreimbursed Advance or Advances, such installment or proceeds shall, to the
extent of any such unreimbursed Advance or Advances, be retained by the Master
Servicer in reimbursement of itself. The Master Servicer shall likewise deposit
in the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt all Net
Liquidation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds after deducting therefrom the
amount of any outstanding and unreimbursed Advances made by it in respect of
such Contract. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Master Servicer may, in the
event

                                       39
<PAGE>

it determines that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or Advances, reimburse
itself from unrelated installments of Monthly P&I or Prepayment proceeds to the
extent it shall, concurrently with the withholding of any such installment or
proceeds from deposit in or credit to the Collection Account as required above,
furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee a certificate of a
Servicing Officer setting forth the basis for the Master Servicer's
determination, the amount of and Contract with respect to which such
Nonrecoverable Advance was made and the installment or installments or other
proceeds respecting which reimbursement has been taken. The foregoing
requirements for deposit in the Collection Account are exclusive, it being
understood that collections in the nature of late payment charges or extension
fees or collections allocable to payments to be made by the Master Servicer on
behalf of Obligors for payment of insurance premiums, including Advanced
Insurance Premiums, or similar items need not be deposited in the Collection
Account and may be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation or for application on behalf of Obligors, as the case may be.

      With respect to payments of Monthly P&I made by Obligors to the Master
Servicer's lock box, the Master Servicer shall direct the Person maintaining the
lock box to deposit, within two Business Days of receipt, the amount collected
on or in respect of the Contracts to the Collection Account.

      In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Contract pursuant to a
Subservicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicer to remit
to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, on a daily basis,
within two Business Days after receipt by the Subservicer, all Net Collections
received by the Subservicer.

      In order to facilitate the servicing of the Contracts by the Master
Servicer, the Master Servicer shall retain, subject to and only to the extent
permitted by the provisions of this Agreement, all collections on or in respect
of the Contracts prior to the time they are remitted or credited, in accordance
with such provisions, to the Collection Account, as the case may be. The Master
Servicer acknowledges that the unremitted collections on the Contracts are part
of the Trust Estate and the Master Servicer agrees to act as custodian and
bailee of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in holding such monies and
collections. The Master Servicer agrees, for the benefit of the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Securityholders, to act as such custodian and
bailee, and to hold and deal with such monies and such collections, as custodian
and bailee for the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement.

      The Master Servicer shall retain all data (including computerized records)
relating directly to or maintained in connection with the servicing of the
Contracts at the address of the Master Servicer set forth as Schedule B to this
Agreement, at the office of any Subservicer or, upon 15 days' notice to the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, at such other place where the servicing
offices of the Master Servicer are located, and shall give the Indenture Trustee
and the Owner Trustee access to all data at all reasonable times. While a
Servicer Default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer shall, on demand of
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, deliver or cause to be delivered to
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, all data
(including computerized records and, to the extent transferable, related
operating software) necessary for the servicing of the Contracts and all monies
collected by it and required to be deposited in or credited to the Collection
Account.

                                       40
<PAGE>

      The Master Servicer shall, or cause the Administrator to, prepare, execute
and deliver all certificates or other documents required to be delivered by the
Trust pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder.

      Section 4.02. Collection of Contract Payments. The Master Servicer shall
use its best efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Contracts as and when the same shall become due and shall use
its best efforts to cause each Obligor to make all payments in respect of his or
her Contract to the Master Servicer. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master
Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charges in connection
with delinquent payments on a Contract or prepayment charges and (ii) in order
to work out a default or an impending default due to the financial condition of
the Obligor, modify the payment schedule of a Delinquent Contract (subject to
the next sentence) or extend the Maturity Date of a Delinquent Contract by up to
90 days in the aggregate past the originally scheduled date of the last payment
on such Contract; provided, however, the Master Servicer shall not defer
payments more than three times over the life of such Contract; provided,
further, that in the case of any extension granted pursuant to clause (ii) the
Master Servicer makes an Advance in respect of such extension and in no event
can the last payment on such Contract be extended beyond the last day of the
Collection Period ending immediately prior to the Class D Final Scheduled
Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall not extend the Maturity Date of a
Contract except as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence and shall
not modify any Contracts except in accordance with the criteria and limitations
specified in Section 4.01.

      Section 4.03. Realization upon Defaulted Contracts and Liquidated
Contracts. The Master Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the
servicing standard specified in Section 4.01, to repossess or otherwise convert
the ownership of the Financed Vehicle securing any Contract as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments.
Such servicing procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any
recourse to Dealers and selling the Financed Vehicle at public or private sale.
In connection with such repossession or other conversion, the Master Servicer
shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or
advisable and as shall be normal and usual for prudent holders of motor vehicle
retail installment sales contracts and installment loans and as shall be in
compliance with all applicable laws, and, in connection with the repossession of
any Financed Vehicle or any Contract in default, may commence and prosecute any
proceedings in respect of such Contract in its own name or, if the Master
Servicer deems it necessary, in the name of the Owner Trustee or on behalf of
the Owner Trustee. The Master Servicer's obligations under this Section are
subject to the proviso that, in the case of damage to a Financed Vehicle from an
uninsured cause, the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own
funds in repairing such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine (i) that such
restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Contract,
after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses
will be recoverable by it either as Liquidation Expenses or as expenses
recoverable under an applicable Insurance Policy. In the event that the Master
Servicer determines that, in its best judgment, further collection efforts by it
as to a Liquidated Contract will not result in the realization of additional Net
Liquidation Proceeds to the Trust, the Master Servicer may, in the name of the
Owner Trustee, and for the benefit of the Trust, sell the Liquidated Contract to
any party not affiliated with the Master Servicer free and clear of the rights
of the Issuer. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and
expenses incurred by it in connection with any action taken in respect of a
Defaulted Contract; provided,

                                       41
<PAGE>

however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses
to the extent they are paid by an Obligor. All Net Liquidation Proceeds, Net
Insurance Proceeds and proceeds of the sale of Contracts hereunder shall be
deposited directly in or credited to the Collection Account (without deposit in
any intervening account) to the extent required by Section 5.02.

      Section 4.04. Insurance. To the extent the Obligor fails to maintain a
comprehensive and collision insurance policy in an amount at least equal to the
lesser of (i) the actual cash value of the Financed Vehicle or (ii) the
principal amount due from the Obligor under the related Contract, the Master
Servicer shall obtain the LDI Policy in respect of such Financed Vehicle;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain
such insurance in respect of any Financed Vehicle as to which the related
Contract has an unpaid principal balance of less than $4,000 or the related
Contract has six or fewer months remaining before its Maturity Date.

      Section 4.05. Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The
Master Servicer shall take such steps as are necessary to maintain continuous
perfection and priority of the security interest created by each Contract in the
related Financed Vehicle, including obtaining the execution by the Obligors and
the recording, registering, filing, re-recording, re-registering and refiling of
all security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements or other
instruments as are necessary to maintain the security interest granted by
Obligors under the respective Contracts. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee each hereby authorizes the Master Servicer to take such steps as are
necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer in the
event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason.

      Section 4.06. Covenants, Representations and Warranties of the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer hereby makes the following covenants,
representations and warranties on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in
acquiring the Contracts. Such covenants, representations and warranties speak as
of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, but
shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Contracts to the Issuer
and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

      (a)   The Master Servicer covenants as to the Contracts:

                  (i)   Lien in Force. The Financed Vehicle securing each

      delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement,
      except (in each case) such as have been obtained and are in full force and
      effect.

                  (iv)  Binding Obligation. This Agreement has been duly
      executed and delivered by the Master Servicer and, assuming the due
      authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Owner Trustee and the
      Indenture Trustee, constitutes a legal, valid

                                       43
<PAGE>

      and binding instrument enforceable against the Master Servicer in
      accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy and insolvency
      laws and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
      generally and to general principles of equity (whether applied in a
      proceeding in equity or at law), and after giving effect to the Proposed
      Merger constitutes a legal, valid and binding instrument enforceable
      against the Master Servicer in accordance with its terms, subject to
      applicable bankruptcy, insolvency laws and other similar laws affecting

      of equity (whether applied in a proceeding in equity or at law), and

      conservatorship and supervisory powers of bank regulatory agencies
      generally.

                  (v)   No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or
      proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Master Servicer,
      threatened against or affecting the Master Servicer, before or by any
      court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body with respect
      to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or which will,
      if determined adversely to the Master Servicer, materially and adversely
      affect it or its business, assets, operations or condition, financial or
      otherwise, or adversely affect the Master Servicer's ability to perform
      its obligations hereunder. The Master Servicer is not in default with
      respect to any order of any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or
      governmental body so as to materially and adversely affect the
      transactions contemplated by the above-mentioned documents.

                  (vi)  Other Consents. The Master Servicer has obtained or made

      the execution and delivery of, and the consummation of the transactions
      contemplated by, this Agreement.

                  (vii) Proposed Merger. After the Proposed Merger, the Bank
      shall succeed to all of the rights, duties and obligations of WFS, in its
      individual capacity, as well as in its capacity as Seller, as Master
      Servicer and as Administrator, as the case may be, under each of the
      Underwriting Agreement, the Letter Indemnity Agreement and each Basic
      Document, as applicable.

Servicer or the Owner Trustee shall inform the other party and the Indenture
Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach pursuant to
Section 4.02, 4.05 or 4.06. Unless the breach shall have been cured within 30
days following such discovery, the Master Servicer shall purchase any Contract
materially and adversely affected by such breach. In consideration of the
purchase of such Contract, the Master Servicer shall remit the Repurchase Amount
in the manner specified in Section 5.04. The sole remedy of the Issuer, the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders
with respect to a breach pursuant to Section 4.02, 4.05 or 4.06 shall be to
require the Master Servicer to purchase Contracts pursuant to this Section;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall indemnify the Owner Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer 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. The Owner Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative

                                       44

investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of
any Contract pursuant to this Section.

      Section 4.08. Servicing Compensation. As compensation for the performance
of its obligations under this Agreement and subject to the terms of this
Section, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive on each Distribution
Date the Servicing Fee. As servicing compensation in addition to the Servicing
Fee, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain all late payment charges,
extension fees and similar items paid in respect of the Contracts. The Master
Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder, which expenses shall include all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with the repossession of a Financed Vehicle and any
Advanced Insurance Premium to the extent that any such amounts are not paid or
otherwise reimbursed by the related Obligor, and shall not be entitled to
reimbursement of such expenses except to the extent provided in this Section or
in Section 4.03.

      Section 4.10. Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Master Servicer shall

such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has

      Section 4.11. Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Report. On
or before 90 days after the end of the first fiscal year of the Master Servicer
which ends more than three months after the Closing Date and each fiscal year
thereafter, the Master Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of
nationally-recognized independent certified public accountants (who may also
render other services to the Master Servicer) to furnish (a) a report to the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and each Rating Agency to the effect that
(i) they have audited the balance sheet of the Master Servicer as of the last
day of said fiscal year and the related statements of operations, retained
earnings and cash flows for such fiscal year and have issued an opinion thereon,
specifying the date thereof, (ii) they have also audited certain documents and
the records relating to the servicing of the Contracts and the distributions on
the Notes and the Certificates hereunder, (iii) their audit as described under
clauses (i) and (ii) above was made in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records
and such other auditing procedures as they considered necessary in the
circumstances and (iv) their audits described under clauses (i) and (ii) above
disclosed no exceptions which, in their opinion, were material, relating to the
servicing of such Contracts in accordance with this Agreement and the making of
distributions on the Notes and Certificates in accordance with this Agreement,
or, if any such exceptions were disclosed thereby, setting forth such exceptions
which, in their opinion, were material and (b) a report to Moody's that such
firm has examined the servicing operations of the Master Servicer for the
previous fiscal year and that, on the basis of such examination, conducted
substantially in compliance with USAP, as applicable to the servicing of
automobile receivables, such firm confirms that the Master Servicer complied
with the minimum servicing standards identified in USAP, in all material
respects, except for such significant exceptions or errors in records that, in
the opinion of such firm, the USAP requires it to report. In rendering such
statement, the accounting firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct
servicing of Contracts by Subservicers, upon comparable statements for
examinations conducted substantially in compliance with USAP (rendered within
one year of such statement) of independent public accountants with respect to
such Subservicer. To enable the accounting firm to render the USAP report
described in subparagraph (b), the Master Servicer shall, at a time prior to the
release of the report as the accounting firm shall reasonably request, submit to
the firm a management assertion letter and management representation letter
substantially in the form respectively set forth on Exhibit C and Exhibit D
hereto.

      Section 4.12. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
Contracts. The Master Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee and the
Securityholders access to the Contract Files in such cases where the
Certificateholders or Noteholders shall be required by applicable statutes or
regulations to review such documentation. Access shall be afforded without
charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at
the designated offices of the Master Servicer and each related Subservicer, if
any. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Master Servicer
to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding
the Obligors and the failure of the Master Servicer to provide access to
information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this
Section.

      Section 4.13. Fidelity Bond. The Master Servicer shall maintain a fidelity
bond in such form and amount as is customary for banks acting as custodian of
funds and documents in respect of mortgage loans or consumer contracts on behalf
of institutional investors.

                                       48

      Section 4.14. Indemnification; Third Party Claims. Subject to Section
8.02, the Master Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold the Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee and the Securityholders harmless against any and all claims,
losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs,
judgments and any reasonable other costs, fees and expenses that the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders may
sustain because of the failure of the Master Servicer to perform its duties and
service the Contracts in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall immediately notify the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee if
a claim is made by a third party with respect to the Contracts, assume, with the
consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, the defense of any such
claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and
promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered
against it or Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders or the
Certificateholders.

          DISTRIBUTIONS; SPREAD ACCOUNT; STATEMENTS TO SECURITYHOLDERS

      Section 5.01. Establishment of Trust Accounts.

      (a)   Prior to the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall open, at a
depository institution (which may be the Indenture Trustee or the Bank), the
following accounts (the "Trust Accounts"):

                  (i)   an account in the name of the Indenture Trustee (the
      "Collection Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the
      funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Securityholders;

                  (ii)  an account in the name of the Indenture Trustee (the
      "Spread Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds
      deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Securityholders;

                  (iii) an account in the name of the Indenture Trustee (the
      "Note Distribution Account") bearing a designation clearly indicating that
      the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders;
      and

                  (iv)  an account in the name of the Owner Trustee (the
      "Certificate Distribution Account") bearing a designation clearly
      indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of
      the Certificateholders.

      The Trust Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts and relate solely to the
Securities and to the Contracts and Eligible Investments. The Master Servicer
shall give the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee at least five Business
Days' written notice of any change in the location of any Trust Account and any
related account identification information. All monies deposited in or credited
to, from time to time, the Trust Accounts shall be part of the Trust Estate and
all monies deposited in or credited to, from time to time, the Collection
Account, the Spread Account, the Certificate Distribution Account and the Note
Distribution Account shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible
Investments pursuant to Section 5.01(b).

      (b)   All funds in the Collection Account, the Spread Account, the Note
Distribution Account and the Certificate Distribution Account shall be invested
by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments. For so long as the RIC is an
Eligible Investment, all funds in such Trust Accounts, in each case that are
available for investment in Eligible Investments, shall be invested in the RIC;
provided, however, that, only with the prior consent of Moody's, may funds in
the Spread Account, the Note Distribution Account and the Certificate
Distribution Account be invested in the RIC. If the RIC is no longer an Eligible
Investment then, subject to the limitations set forth herein, the Master
Servicer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to invest funds in the
foregoing Trust Accounts in Eligible Investments, other than the RIC. All such
investments shall be in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders and the Certificateholders, as applicable. All income or other gain
from investment of monies

                                       50
<PAGE>

deposited in or credited to the Spread Account (including the RIC Reinvestment
Earnings) shall be deposited in or credited to the Spread Account immediately
upon receipt, and any loss resulting from such investment shall be charged to
the Spread Account. All income or other gain from investment of monies deposited
in or credited to the Note Distribution Account (including the RIC Reinvestment
Earnings) shall be deposited in or credited to the Note Distribution Account
immediately upon receipt, and any loss resulting from such investment shall be
charged to the Note Distribution Account. All income or other gain from
investment of monies deposited in or credited to the Certificate Distribution
Account (including the RIC Reinvestment Earnings) shall be deposited in or
credited to the Certificate Distribution Account immediately upon receipt, and
any loss resulting from such investment shall be charged to the Certificate
Distribution Account. The maximum permissible maturities of any investments of
funds in the Collection Account, the Spread Account, the Note Distribution
Account and the Certificate Distribution Account on any date shall not be later
than one Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date next
succeeding the date of such investment; provided, however, that such funds may
be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments (other than the
RIC) that mature on the Business Day before the Distribution Date. No investment
in Eligible Investments may be sold prior to its maturity.

      (c)   (i)   The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and
interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts, other
than the Certificate Distribution Account, and in all proceeds thereof
(including all income thereon) and all such funds, investments, proceeds and
income shall be part of the Trust Estate. The Trust Accounts, other than the
Certificate Distribution Account, shall be under the sole dominion and control
of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the
Certificateholders, as the case may be; provided however, that the Indenture
Trustee shall invest funds in the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to
Section 5.01(b). The Certificate Distribution Account shall be in the name of
the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If, at any time,
any of the Trust Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Indenture
Trustee (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall within ten Business Days
(or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating
Agency may consent) establish a new Trust Account as an Eligible Account and
shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Trust Account.

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

                  (A)   any Trust Account Property that is held in deposit

            accounts shall be held solely in the Eligible Accounts, subject to
            the last sentence of Section 5.01(c)(i); and each such Eligible
            Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and continuous
            control of the Indenture Trustee within the meaning of Section
            9-104(a) of the applicable UCC, and the Indenture Trustee shall have
            sole signature authority with respect thereto;

deposits shall be made into the Collection Account within two Business Days
pursuant to Section 4.01), to deduct from amounts received that are otherwise
required to be deposited in or credited to the Collection Account and, to the
extent such amounts are insufficient, to require that the Indenture Trustee
withdraw and deliver to it from the Collection Account, amounts due to be paid
hereunder to the Master Servicer or to the Seller after giving effect to
application of the payment priorities specified in this Article for the month
(or other applicable period), and to pay such amounts to itself as Master

      Section 5.04. Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances; Repurchase Amounts.

      (a)   If, as of the end of any Collection Period, one or more payments of
Monthly P&I due under any Contract (other than a Liquidated Contract)
Outstanding at the end of such Collection Period shall not have been received by
the Master Servicer and deposited in or credited to the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 5.02(a), the Master Servicer shall make, concurrently with
the furnishing of the related Distribution Date Statement to the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee, the Advance for such Collection Period by
depositing in or crediting to the Collection Account with respect to each
Contract 30 days of interest on the Principal Balance of such Contract at a rate
equal to the sum of (i) the Class D Rate and (ii) the Servicing Fee Percent for
each month that the related Monthly P&I is delinquent at the end of such
Collection Period. The Master Servicer shall account for such deposit or credit
in accordance with Section 4.01. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Master
Servicer shall not make an Advance in respect of a Contract if the Master
Servicer shall have determined that any such Advance, if made, would constitute
a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such determination shall be evidenced by an
Officers' Certificate furnished to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee
setting forth the basis for such determination.

      (b)   If the Master Servicer determines that it has made a Nonrecoverable
Advance or Advances, the Master Servicer shall reimburse itself, without
interest, from unrelated installments of Monthly P&I or prepayment proceeds to
the extent it shall, concurrently with the withholding of any such installment
or proceeds from deposit in or credit to the Collection Account as required by
Section 5.02, furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee a
certificate of a Servicing Officer setting forth the basis for the Master
Servicer's determination, the amount of, and Contract with respect to which,
such Nonrecoverable Advance was made and the installment or installments or
other proceeds respecting which reimbursement has been taken; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer must provide such certificate within three months of
such Nonrecoverable Advance or Advances.

      (c)   The Master Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, shall remit
or credit to the Collection Account the aggregate Repurchase Amount with respect
to Repurchased Contracts on the Master Servicer Report Date next succeeding the
last day of the related cure period specified in Section 3.02 or 4.07, as the
case may be. In addition, the Master Servicer and the Seller shall deposit or
cause to be deposited in the Collection Account the aggregate Repurchase Amount

deposited into the Collection Account the Aggregate Repurchase Amount of
Contracts purchased pursuant to Section 9.01(a).

      series of obligations, consisting of one or more classes of notes,
      certificates or other securities (the "Offered Securities") that are
      collateralized by or evidence an interest in Vehicle Receivables and are
      rated in an investment grade category by at least one nationally
      recognized statistical rating agency; and (C) to negotiate, authorize,
      execute, deliver and assume the obligations of any agreement relating to
      the activities set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above, including any sale

      support agreement, receivables purchase agreement or underwriting
      agreement or similar agreements or to engage in any lawful activity which
      is incidental to the activities contemplated by any such agreement. So
      long as any outstanding debt of the Seller or Offered Securities are rated
      by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, the Seller
      shall not issue notes or otherwise incur debt unless (1) the Seller has
      made a written request to the related nationally recognized statistical
      rating organization to issue notes or incur borrowings which notes or
      borrowings are rated by the related nationally

      rating afforded such debt or securities or (2) such notes or borrowings
      (a) are fully subordinated (and which shall provide for payment only after
      payment in respect of all outstanding rated debt or Offered Securities) or
      are nonrecourse against any assets of the Seller other than the assets
      pledged to secure such notes or borrowings, (b) do not constitute a claim
      against the Seller in the event such assets are insufficient to pay such
      notes or borrowings and (c) where such notes or borrowings are secured by
      the rated debt or Offered Securities, are fully subordinated (and which
      shall provide for payment only after payment in respect of all outstanding
      rated debt or Offered Securities) to such rated debt or Offered
      Securities.

      (c)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section and any
provision of law, the Seller shall not do any of the following:

                  (i)   engage in any business or activity other than as set
      forth in clause (b) above;

                  (ii)  without the affirmative vote of a majority of the
      members of the board of directors of the Seller (which must include the
      affirmative vote of at least two duly appointed Independent directors) (A)
      dissolve or liquidate, in whole or in part, or institute proceedings to be
      adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, (B) consent to the institution of
      bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, (C) file a petition
      seeking or consent to reorganization or relief under any applicable
      federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, (D) consent to the

      other similar official) of the corporation or a substantial part of its
      property, (E) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (F)
      admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become
      due or (G) take any corporate action in furtherance of the actions set
      forth in clauses (A) through (F) above; provided, however, that no
      director may be required by any shareholder of the Seller to consent to
      the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Seller
      so long as it is solvent; or

                  (iii) merge or consolidate with any other corporation, company
      or entity or sell all or substantially all of its assets or acquire all or
      substantially all of the assets or capital stock or other ownership
      interest of any other corporation, company or entity (except for the
      acquisition of Vehicle Receivables and the sale of Vehicle Receivables to
      one or more trusts in accordance with the terms of clause (b)(ii) above,
      which shall not be otherwise restricted by Section 6.03(c)).

      Section 6.04. Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others. The Seller and
any director or officer or employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good
faith on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted
by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Seller and any
director or officer or employee or agent of the Seller shall be reimbursed by
the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, for any
contractual damages, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Owner
Trustee's or the Indenture Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence (except for errors in judgment) in the performance of their
respective duties hereunder, or by reason of reckless disregard of their
respective obligations and duties hereunder. The Seller shall not be under any
obligation to

                                       61
<PAGE>

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. The indemnities contained in this Section shall
survive the resignation or termination of the Owner Trustee or the termination
of this Agreement.

      Section 6.05. Seller Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section
6.03, the Seller shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed
on it as Seller hereunder.

thereof may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee
of Securities with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Seller or
an Affiliate thereof, except as expressly provided herein or in any Basic
Document. Securities so owned by or pledged to the Seller or an Affiliate
thereof shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of
this Agreement, without preference, priority or distinction as among all of the
Notes.

                               THE MASTER SERVICER

      Section 7.01. Liability of Master Servicer; Indemnities. Subject to
Section 8.02, the Master Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to
the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Master Servicer
under this Agreement. Such obligations shall include the following:

            (a)   The Master Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
      the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer
      and the Securityholders from and against any and all costs, expenses,
      losses, damages, claims and liabilities, arising out of or resulting from
      the use, ownership or operation by the Master Servicer, any Subservicer or
      any of their respective Affiliates of a Financed Vehicle.

            (b)   The Master Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
      the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Backup
      Servicer from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted
      against the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer with
      respect to the transactions contemplated herein, including any sales,
      gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege
      or license taxes (but not including any taxes asserted with respect to,
      and as of the date of, the sale of the Contracts to the Issuer or the
      issuance and original sale of the Securities, or asserted with respect to
      ownership of the Contracts, or federal or other income taxes arising out
      of distributions on the Securities) and costs and expenses in defending
      against the same.

            (c)   The Master Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
      the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer
      and the Securityholders from and against any and all costs, expenses,
      losses, claims, damages and liabilities to the extent that such cost,
      expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arose out of, or was imposed
      upon any such Person through, the negligence, willful misfeasance or bad
      faith of the Master Servicer in the performance of its duties under this
      Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties
      under this Agreement.

            (d)   The Master Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
      the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee from and against any and all
      costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of or
      incurred in connection with the acceptance or performance of the trusts
      and duties herein or the Trust Agreement contained, except to the extent
      that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability (i) shall be due
      to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (except for errors in
      judgment) of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may
      be; (ii) relates to any tax other than the taxes with respect to which
      either the Seller or the Master Servicer shall be required to indemnify
      the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee; (iii) shall arise from the
      Owner Trustee's or the Indenture Trustee's breach of any of their
      respective representations or warranties set forth herein, in the Trust
      Agreement or in the

                                       63
<PAGE>

      Indenture; or (iv) shall be one as to which the Seller is required to
      indemnify the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be.

            (e)   The Master Servicer shall pay the Owner Trustee compensation,
      reimbursement or other payments owed to it by the Seller pursuant to
      Sections 8.01 and 8.02 of the Trust Agreement if the Seller fails to remit
      such compensation, reimbursement or payment in a timely manner.

      Indemnification under this Section shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or the termination of this
Agreement of the Trust Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Master Servicer shall have made
any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf
of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from
others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Master Servicer,
without interest.

      Section 7.02. Corporate Existence; Status of Master Servicer; Merger. The
Master Servicer shall not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation
or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets as an
entirety to any Person unless the corporation (a) formed by such consolidation
or into which the Master Servicer has merged or the Person which acquires by
conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all the assets of the Master
Servicer as an entirety can lawfully perform the obligations of the Master
Servicer hereunder and (b) executes and delivers to the Indenture Trustee and
the Owner Trustee an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, which contains an assumption by
such successor entity of the due and punctual performance or observance of each
covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Master Servicer under
this Agreement. Notice shall be sent to each Rating Agency by the Master
Servicer of any consolidation, merger or succession pursuant to this Section.
The Bank, upon its conversion to a California corporation licensed to do
business as a California commercial bank, will qualify pursuant to clause (a)
above.

      Section 7.03. Performance of Obligations.

      (a)   The Master Servicer shall punctually perform and observe all of its
obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement.

      (b)   The Master Servicer shall not take any action, or permit any action
to be taken by others, which would excuse any Person from any of its covenants
or obligations under any of the Contract Documents or under any other instrument
included in the Trust Estate, or which would result in the amendment,
hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the
validity or effectiveness of, any of the Contract Documents or any such
instrument, except as expressly provided herein and therein.

      Section 7.04. Master Servicer Not to Resign; Assignment.

      (a)   The Master Servicer shall not resign from the duties and obligations
hereby imposed on it except upon determination by its board of directors that by
reason of change in applicable legal requirements the continued performance by
the Master Servicer of its duties hereunder would cause it to be in violation of
such legal requirements in a manner which would

                                       64
<PAGE>

result in a material adverse effect on the Master Servicer or its financial
condition, said determination to be evidenced by a resolution of its board of
directors to such effect accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, to such effect. No such resignation
shall become effective unless and until (i) a new servicer acceptable to the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee is willing to service the Contracts and
enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer in form and substance
substantially similar to this Agreement and satisfactory to the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee and (ii) the Rating Agency Condition has been
satisfied. No such resignation shall affect the obligation of the Master
Servicer to repurchase Contracts pursuant to Section 4.07.

      (b)   Except as specifically permitted in this Agreement, the Master
Servicer may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights, powers, duties or
obligations hereunder; provided that the Master Servicer may assign this
Agreement in connection with a consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or
lease made in compliance with Section 7.02.

      (c)   Except as provided in Sections 7.04(a) and (b), the duties and
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement shall continue until
this Agreement shall have been terminated as provided in Section 9.01 or the
Issuer shall have been terminated as provided by the terms of the Trust
Agreement, and shall survive the exercise by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee of any right or remedy under this Agreement, or the enforcement by the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Certificateholder or Noteholder of
any provision of the Notes, the Certificates or this Agreement.

      (d)   The resignation of the Master Servicer in accordance with this
Section shall not affect the rights of the Seller hereunder. If the Master
Servicer resigns pursuant to this Section, its appointment as custodian can be
terminated pursuant to Section 3.07.

      Section 7.05. Limitation on Liability of Master Servicer and Others.

      (a)   Neither the Master Servicer nor any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Issuer, the Noteholders
or the Certificateholders, except as provided under this Agreement, for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this
Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such Person against any liability
that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence (except errors in judgment) in the performance of duties or by reason
of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Master
Servicer and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents may rely in
good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

      (b)   The Master Servicer and any of its directors, officers, employees or
agents shall be reimbursed by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the
case may be, for any contractual damages, liability or expense incurred by
reason of such Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (except
errors in judgment) in the performance of such Trustee's duties under this
Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under
this Agreement.

      (c)   Except as provided in this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not
be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that
shall not be incidental to its duties to service the Contracts in accordance
with this Agreement, and that in the Master Servicer's opinion may involve it in
any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may
undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in
respect of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the rights and
duties of the parties to this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the
interests of the Securityholders under the Basic Documents.

      Section 8.01. Servicer Default. If any one of the following events (each a
"Servicer Default") shall occur and be continuing:

            (a)   any failure by the Master Servicer or the Issuer, to deposit
      or credit, or to deliver to the Indenture Trustee for deposit, in any of
      the Trust Accounts any amount required hereunder to be as deposited,
      credited or delivered or to direct the Indenture Trustee to make any
      required distributions therefrom, that shall continue unremedied for a
      period of three Business Days after written notice of such failure is
      received from the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or after
      discovery of such failure by an officer of the Master Servicer;

            (b)   any failure by the Master Servicer to deliver to the Indenture
      Trustee or the Owner Trustee a report in accordance with Section 4.09 or
      Section 4.10 by the fourth Business Day prior to the Distribution Date
      with respect to which such report is due, or the Master Servicer shall
      have defaulted in the due observance of any provision of Section 7.02
      (other than failure to enter into an assumption agreement under Section
      7.02, which is a Servicer Default only if such failure continues for ten
      Business Days);

            (c)   failure on the part of the Seller, the Issuer or the Master
      Servicer duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any other
      covenants or agreements of the Master Servicer or the Seller set forth in
      this Agreement or any other Basic Document, which failure shall (i)
      materially and adversely affect the rights of the Owner Trustee, the
      Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or Noteholders and (ii) continue
      unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice
      of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given
      (A) to the Master Servicer or the Seller (as the case may be) by the Owner
      Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or (B) to the Master Servicer or the
      Seller (as the case may be), and to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
      Trustee by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the
      Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class, or, if the Notes
      have been paid in full, by Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25%
      of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest;

            (d)   the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the
      Seller, the Issuer or the Master Servicer; or

            (e)   any representation, warranty or statement of the Master
      Servicer, the Issuer or the Seller made in this Agreement or any
      certificate, report or other writing delivered by the Master Servicer
      prepared based on information provided by the Master Servicer pursuant
      hereto shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect as of the time
      when the same shall have been made (excluding, however, any representation
      or warranty to which Section 3.01 or 4.06 shall be applicable so long as
      the Master Servicer or the

                                       67
<PAGE>

      Seller shall be in compliance with Section 3.02 or 4.07, as the case may
      be), and the incorrectness of such representation, warranty or statement
      has a material adverse effect on the Noteholders or the Certificateholders
      and, within 30 days after written notice thereof shall have been given to
      the Master Servicer or the Seller by the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
      Trustee or by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the
      Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class, or
      Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate
      Certificate Percentage Interest, the circumstance or condition in respect
      of which such representation, warranty or statement was incorrect shall
      not have been eliminated or otherwise cured;

then, and in each and every case, so long as such Servicer Default shall not
have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee, the Holders of Notes
evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of
the Controlling Class (or, if the Notes have been paid in full and the Indenture
has been discharged in accordance with its terms, by the Owner Trustee or by
Certificateholders evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate
Certificate Percentage Interest), by notice then given in writing to the Master
Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee if given by the
Noteholders or the Certificateholders) may terminate all the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement. Upon such termination
or a termination pursuant to Section 8.06, termination of the Master Servicer as
custodian can be made pursuant to Section 3.07. On or after the receipt by the
Master Servicer of written notice of termination pursuant to this Section or
Section 8.06, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates, the Contracts or
otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture
Trustee, the Backup Servicer or such successor Master Servicer as may be
appointed under Section 8.02, as the case may be; and, without limitation, the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, for the benefit of the predecessor Master 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 Contracts and related documents, or otherwise. The Master
Servicer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in
effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor
Master Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the Indenture
Trustee or the Backup Servicer, as the case may be, for administration by it of
all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Master
Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received by it with respect to any
Contract.

      Section 8.02. Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. Upon the
Master Servicer's receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 or
Section 8.06 or resignation pursuant to Section 7.04, the Indenture Trustee, or
in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.06, the Backup Servicer,
shall be the successor to the Master Servicer in its capacity as servicer under
this Agreement, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, except that neither the Indenture Trustee nor the
Backup Servicer shall be obligated to purchase Contracts pursuant to Section
4.07 unless the obligation to repurchase arose after the date of the notice of
termination given to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01 or Section
8.06, as the case may be, or be subject to any obligation of the Master Servicer
to indemnify or hold harmless any Person as set forth in this Agreement arising
from the acts or

                                       68
<PAGE>

omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer. Any successor Master Servicer,
including the Backup Servicer, shall have the rights (including any right of
indemnity) of the Master Servicer. Furthermore, the Backup Servicer shall have a
right of indemnity under Articles Six and Seven hereof in connection with the
performance of its duties prior to becoming the successor Master Servicer. As
compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer, as the case
may be, shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the
Collection Account or otherwise) as the Master Servicer would have been entitled
to under this Agreement if no such notice of termination shall have been given.
If, however, a bankruptcy trustee or similar official has been appointed for the
Master Servicer, and no Servicer Default other than such appointment has
occurred, such trustee or official may have the power to prevent the Indenture
Trustee or the Noteholders from effecting a transfer of servicing.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event of a termination of the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 8.01, the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to
act, or shall, if it shall be legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established financial
institution, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular
business shall include the servicing of motor vehicle retail installment sales
contracts, as the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement. Pending
appointment of any such successor Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall
act in such capacity as provided above. In connection with such appointment, the
Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor out of payments on Contracts it and such successor shall agree. The
Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with
this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

      Section 8.03. Repayment of Advances. If the identity of the Master
Servicer shall change, the predecessor Master Servicer shall be entitled to
receive reimbursement for outstanding Advances pursuant to Section 5.04 with
respect to all Advances made by the predecessor Master Servicer.

      Section 8.04. Notification to Noteholders and Certificateholders. Upon any
termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Master Servicer pursuant
to this Article, the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Noteholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Note Register and to
each Rating Agency.

      Section 8.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of Notes evidencing not
less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling
Class, or, if all the Notes have been paid in full and the Indenture has been
discharged in accordance with its terms, Certificateholders evidencing not less
than a majority of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest (in the case of
any default which does not adversely affect the Indenture Trustee or the
Noteholders) may, on behalf of all Securityholders waive in writing any default
by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its
consequences, except a default in making any required deposits to or payments
from any of the Trust Accounts in accordance with this Agreement or in respect
of a covenant or provisions hereof which cannot be modified without the consent
of each Securityholder. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default
shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed
to have been

                                       69
<PAGE>

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 8.06. Backup Servicer. If a Backup Servicer Event has occurred and
continuing, the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class, by notice then given
in writing to the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee
may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement. Upon such termination, the Backup Servicer shall become successor
Master Servicer in accordance with Sections 8.01 and 8.02.

on the last day of such Collection Period. In addition, if the Master Servicer
or the Seller has outstanding senior debt and such debt is not rated "investment
grade" by Moody's at the time of exercising the option pursuant to this Section,

Indenture Trustee and Moody's an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
optional purchase is not a fraudulent conveyance.

deposit the proceeds from such sale after all payments and reserves therefrom
have been made (the "Insolvency Proceeds") in the Collection Account. On the
Distribution Date on which the Insolvency Proceeds are deposited in the
Collection Account (or, if such proceeds are not so deposited on a Distribution
Date, on the Distribution Date immediately following such deposit), the Master
Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to distribute funds on deposit in
the Collection Account (including such Insolvency Proceeds and any funds on
deposit in the Spread Account in accordance with Section 5.06(a) of the
Indenture.

      (c)   As described in Article Nine of the Trust Agreement, notice of any
termination of the Issuer shall be given by the Master Servicer to the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as soon as practicable after the Master
Servicer has received notice thereof.

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

      (e)   On a Distribution Date on which an optional purchase pursuant to
Section 9.01(a) of all remaining Contracts of the Issuer occur, the Master
Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to make the following

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      Section 10.01. Amendment.

      (a)   This Agreement may be amended by the Seller, the Master Servicer and
the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, collectively, without the consent of
any Securityholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions in this Agreement which are inconsistent with the provisions herein,
or to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising
under this Agreement that shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement, (ii) to add or provide any credit enhancement for any Class of Notes
and (iii) to change any provision applicable for determining the Specified
Spread Account Balance or the manner in which the Spread Account is funded;
provided, however, that any such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Securityholder and provided, further, that in connection with any amendment
pursuant to clause (ii) and (iii) above, the Master Servicer shall deliver to
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee a letter from Standard & Poor's to
the effect that such amendment will not cause its then-current rating on any
Class of Notes to be qualified, reduced or withdrawn and the Master Servicer
shall provide Moody's and Fitch notice of such amendment; and provided, further,
that this Agreement may not be amended to alter the rights or obligations of the
Indenture Trustee without the prior consent of the Indenture Trustee.

      (b)   This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Seller,
the Master Servicer and the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, with the
consent of the Holders of Notes holding not less than 66 2/3% of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes and the consent of Certificateholders evidencing not less
than 66 2/3% of the Certificate Percentage Interest, for the purpose of adding
any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or
the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall increase
or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of
(i)(A) collections of payments on the Contracts or distributions that shall be
required to be made on any Note or Certificate or any Interest Rate or (B)
except as otherwise provided in Section 10.01(a), the Specified Spread Account
Balance, or the manner in which the Spread Account is funded or (ii) reduce the
aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Holders of
which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the
Holders of all Notes and Certificates of the relevant Class then outstanding.

      (c)   Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent, the
Indenture Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such
amendment or consent, as prepared by the Seller, the Master Servicer and the
Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, at the expense of the such party,
together with a copy thereof, to each Rating Agency.

      (d)   Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall furnish the
written notification of the

                                       73
<PAGE>

substance of the amendment or consent described in Section 10.01(c), at the
expense of the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the
Issuer, as the case may be, to each Certificateholder and Noteholder,
respectively. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders and
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 10.01(b) 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
of evidencing the authorization by Noteholders and Certificateholders of the
execution thereof shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.

      (e)   Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner
Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating
that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this
Agreement. The Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any
such amendment which affects the Owner Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

      Section 10.02. Protection of Title to Trust.

      (a)   The Master Servicer shall execute and file such financing statements
and cause to be executed and filed such continuation statements, all in such
manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain
and protect the perfection and priority of the interest of the Issuer, the
Securityholders, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in the Contracts
and in the proceeds thereof. The Master Servicer shall deliver (or cause to be
delivered) to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies
of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as
available following such filing.

      (b)   Neither WFS, the Seller nor the Master Servicer shall change its
name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would, could or might
make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with
Section 10.02(a) seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-507 of the
UCC, unless it shall have given the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at
least 60 days' prior written notice thereof and shall have promptly filed
appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or
continuation statements. The prior sentence notwithstanding, WFS may change its
name to Western Financial Auto and the Seller may change its name to Western
Financial ABS 3 without prior notice to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee, provided it shall timely comply with the requirements of Section
2.01(c).

      (c)   WFS, the Seller and the Master Servicer shall give the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee at least 60 days' prior written notice of any
relocation of the principal executive office of WFS or the Seller and the Master
Servicer or the Subservicers (in the case of notice provided by the Master
Servicer) or the reincorporation of any of them in a different jurisdiction if,
as a result of such relocation or reincorporation, the applicable provisions of
the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed
financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement and shall
promptly file any such amendment or new financing statement. The Master Servicer
shall at all times maintain each office from which it shall service Contracts,
and its principal executive office, within the United States.

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

      (e)   The Master Servicer shall maintain or cause to be maintained its
computer systems and those of Subservicers so that, from and after the time of
sale under this Agreement of the Contracts, the Master Servicer's and
Subservicer's master computer records (including any backup archives) that shall
refer to a Contract indicate clearly the interest of the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee in such Contract and that such Contract is owned by the Issuer
and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee. Indication of the Issuer's
ownership of and the Indenture Trustee's interest in a Contract shall be deleted
from or modified on the Master Servicer's computer systems when, and only when,
the related Contract shall have been paid in full or repurchased or shall have
become a Liquidated Contract.

      (f)   If at any time the Seller, the Master Servicer or a Subservicer
shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any
interest in automotive retail installment sales contracts or installment loans
to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Master Servicer
shall give or cause to be given to such prospective purchaser, lender or other
transferee computer tapes, records or print-outs (including any restored from
back-up archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any
Contract, shall indicate clearly that such Contract has been sold and is owned
by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee.

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

      (h)   Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish to the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee, within five Business Days, a list of all Contracts
then held as part of the Trust Estate, together with a reconciliation of such
list to the Schedule of Contracts and to each of the Distribution Date
Statements furnished before such request indicating removal of Contracts from
the Issuer.

      (i)   The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency:

            (i)   promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement
      and of each amendment hereto, an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the
      opinion of such counsel, the Indenture Trustee holds a perfected security
      interest in the Contracts, that the Issuer holds title to the Contracts
      subject to the security interest of the Indenture Trustee; and

            (ii)  within 90 days after the beginning of each calendar year
      beginning with the first calendar year beginning more than three months
      after the Cut-Off Date, an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of a date during
      such 90-day period, either (A) stating that,

      statements have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to
      preserve and protect the interest of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
      Trustee in the Contracts, and reciting the details of such filings or
      referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given or
      (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be
      necessary to preserve and protect such interest.

            (b)   Additional Duties.

                  (i)   In addition to the duties set forth in Section 1(a)(i),
            the Administrator shall perform such calculations and shall prepare
            or cause to be prepared by other appropriate persons, and shall
            execute on behalf of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee, all such
            documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions
            that the Issuer or the Owner Trustee are required to prepare, file
            or deliver pursuant to the Related Agreements or Section 5.05 of the
            Trust Agreement, and at the request of the Owner Trustee shall take
            all appropriate action that the Issuer or the Owner Trustee are
            required to take pursuant to the Related Agreements. In furtherance
            thereof, the Owner Trustee (A) shall, on behalf of the Issuer,
            execute and deliver to the Administrator and to each successor
            Administrator appointed pursuant to the terms hereof, one or more
            powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto,
            appointing the Administrator the attorney-in-fact of the Issuer for
            the purpose of executing on behalf of the Issuer all such documents,
            reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions and (B)
            will either execute on its behalf, or execute and deliver to the

            Administrator the attorney-in-fact of the Owner Trustee for the
            purpose of executing on behalf of the Owner Trustee, all such
            documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions
            to the extent deemed necessary by the Administrator and at the
            request of the Administrator. Subject to Section 5, and in
            accordance with the directions of the Owner Trustee, the
            Administrator shall administer, perform or supervise the performance
            of such other activities in connection with the Collateral
            (including the Related Agreements) as are not covered by any of the
            foregoing provisions and as are expressly requested by the Owner
            Trustee and are reasonably within the capability of the
            Administrator.

                  (ii)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the
            Related Agreements to the contrary, the Administrator shall be
            responsible for promptly notifying the Owner Trustee in the event
            that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust's payments (or
            allocations of income) to an Owner as contemplated in Section
            5.02(c) of the Trust Agreement. Any such notice shall specify the
            amount of any withholding tax required to be withheld by the Owner
            Trustee pursuant to such provision.

                  (iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the
            Related Agreements to the contrary, the Administrator shall be
            responsible for performance of the duties of the Owner Trustee set
            forth in Section 5.05 of the Trust Agreement with respect to, among
            other things, accounting and reports to Owners; provided, however,
            that the Owner Trustee shall retain responsibility for the
            distribution of any Schedule K-1s necessary to enable each Owner to
            prepare its federal and state income tax returns.

                  (iv)  The Administrator shall satisfy its obligations with
            respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) above by retaining, at the expense
            of the Trust payable by the Administrator, a firm of independent
            public accountants (the "Accountants") acceptable to the Owner
            Trustee, which shall perform the obligations of the Administrator
            thereunder. In connection with paragraph (ii) above, the Accountants
            will provide prior to December 31, 2005, a letter in form and
            substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee if any tax

                                       6
<PAGE>

            withholding is then required and the procedures to be followed with
            respect thereto to comply with the requirements of the Code. The
            Accountants shall be required to update the letter in each instance
            that any additional tax withholding is subsequently required or any
            previously required tax withholding shall no longer be required.

                  (v)   The Administrator shall perform the duties of the
            Administrator specified in Section 10.02 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 Administrator under the Trust Agreement.

                  (vi)  In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its other
            obligations under this Agreement, the Administrator may enter into
            transactions 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 Administrator's opinion, no less favorable to the
            Issuer than would be available from unaffiliated parties.

            (c)   Non-Ministerial Matters.

                  (i)   With respect to matters that in the reasonable judgment
            of the Administrator are non-ministerial, the Administrator shall
            not take any action unless within a reasonable time before the
            taking of such action, the Administrator shall have notified the

      Section 11. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by
a written amendment duly executed and delivered by the parties hereto, with the
written consent of the Owner Trustee but without the consent of the Noteholders
and the Certificateholders, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or Certificateholders;
provided that such amendment will not, in the Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to
the Indenture Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interest of any
Noteholder or Certificateholder. This Agreement may also be amended by the
parties hereto with the written consent of the Owner Trustee and the holders of
Notes evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes and
the holders of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of the Certificate
Percentage for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, however,
that no such amendment may (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of,
or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the Contracts
or distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders
or Certificateholders or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the holders of

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may not amend this Agreement

      Section 12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by

by the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and subject to the satisfaction of the
Rating Agency Condition in respect thereof. An assignment with such consent and
satisfaction, if accepted by the assignee, shall bind the assignee hereunder in
the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by the Administrator without the
consent of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee to a corporation or other
organization that is a successor (by merger, consolidation or purchase of
assets) to the Administrator; provided that such successor organization executes
and delivers to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an
agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee, in which such corporation or other organization
agrees to be bound hereunder by the terms of said assignment in the same manner
as the Administrator is bound hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this
Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the parties hereto.
