Dear [name]:

 

Cascade Natural Gas Corporation (referred to as the “Company”)
considers your continued employment as a member of its key management team to
be essential to the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.  The Company recognizes that, as is the case
with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a change in control
may arise and that the attendant uncertainty may result in the departure or
distraction of key management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its
shareholders.  Accordingly, the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that appropriate steps
should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and
dedication of members of the Company’s management without distraction from the
possibility of a change in control of the Company.  The Board believes it important that, in the event of a proposal
for transfer of control of the Company, you be able to assess the proposal and
advise the Board without being influenced by the uncertainties of your own
situation.  The Board also considers the
Company’s management one of the Company’s most valuable attributes and wishes
to take appropriate steps to preserve the management group through the
uncertainties which may attend any potential transaction involving a change in
control.

 

In order to induce you to remain in the employ of the Company, this
letter Agreement, which has been approved by the Board, sets forth the
severance compensation which the Company agrees will be provided to you in the
event your employment with the Company is terminated subsequent to a “change in
control” of the Company under the circumstances described below.

 

1.             Agreement
to Provide Services; Right to Terminate; Confidentiality.

 

a.             Termination Prior to Certain Offers.  Except as otherwise provided in paragraph b
below or in any written employment agreement between you and Company, the
Company or you may terminate your employment at any time, subject to the
Company providing the severance compensation, if any, required under the
specific conditions of the termination.

 

b.             Termination Subsequent to Certain Offers.  In the event a tender offer or exchange offer
is made by a Person (as hereinafter defined) for more than 30 percent of the
combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities ordinarily having
the right to vote at elections of directors (“Voting Securities”) including
shares of common stock of the Company (the “Company Shares”), or in the event
an

 

 

offer is made
by a Person to purchase substantially all of the Company’s business assets, you
agree that you will not leave the employ of the Company (other than as a result
of Disability as such term is hereinafter defined) and will render services to
the Company in the capacity in which you then serve until such tender offer,
exchange offer, or asset purchase offer has been abandoned or terminated or a
change in control of the Company, as defined in Section 3 hereof, has
occurred, and the Company agrees that it will not terminate your employment
during such period unless it shall provide you with the severance benefits set
forth in Section 5 hereof.  For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Person” shall mean and include any
individual, corporation, partnership, group, association, or other “person,” as
such term is used in Section 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the “Exchange Act”), other than the Company or any employee benefit plan(s)
sponsored by the Company.

 

c.             Confidentiality.  You acknowledge that by reason of the
capacity in which you have been employed, (A) you have financial information
regarding the Company which has not been publicly disclosed and which is
confidential to the Company, and (B) disclosure of such financial information
could cause irreparable harm to the Company. 
You agree that you will not disclose, without prior written consent of
the Company, any financial information regarding the Company which has not been
publicly disclosed by the Company.

 

2.             Term of Agreement.  This Agreement shall commence on the date
hereof and shall continue in effect until December 31, 2002.

 

a.             This
Agreement shall be extended as follows:

 

i.              The term of the
Agreement shall automatically be extended for one additional year unless either
you or the Company give notice at least 30 days before the end of any calendar
year that the agreement will not be extended.

 

ii.             The term of the
Agreement (as extended under i.) shall be extended by an additional 36 months,
if a change in control of the Company (as defined in Section 3) occurs.

 

b.             This
Agreement shall terminate when the first of the following occurs:

 

i.              The Agreement’s
normal term, as extended under a, expires.

 

2

 

ii.             Either you or the
Company terminate your employment before a change in control of the Company.

 

iii.            Your benefits
under the Company’s Executive Supplemental Retirement Income Plan become fully
vested.

 

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the benefits to the
Employee provided in Section 5.c.iii and Section 5.d shall not
terminate upon vesting in Company’s Executive Supplemental Retirement Income
Plan, but shall continue to apply for a period of three years after such vesting.

 

3.             Change in Control.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “change in
control” of the Company shall mean:

 

a.             A change
in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to
Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A as in effect on the date
hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act; provided that, such a change in control
shall be deemed to have occurred only at such time as any Person acquires,
directly or indirectly, actual economic beneficial ownership (as opposed to
“beneficial ownership” as defined in Rule 1 3d-3 under the Exchange Act), of 30
percent or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s Voting
Securities;

 

b.             During any
period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such
period constitute the Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority thereof unless the election, or the nomination for election by the
Company’s shareholders, of each new director was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the
beginning of the period;

 

c.             There
shall be consummated (A) any consolidation or merger of the Company in which
the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which
Company Shares would be converted into cash, securities, or other property, or
(B) any sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer (in one transaction or a
series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of
the Company; or

 

d.             Approval
by the shareholders of the Company of any plan or proposal for the liquidation
or dissolution of the Company.

 

4.             Termination Following Change in Control.  If, and only if, your employment with the
Company should be terminated by you or the Company within 36 months from the
date of occurrence of any event constituting a change in control of the Company
(it being recognized that more than one such event may occur in which case the
36-month period shall run from the date of occurrence of each such event), you
shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Section 5

 

3

 

hereof unless
such termination is because of your death or is effected by you other than for
“Good Reason” (as hereinafter defined). 
Provided, however, that:

 

a.             Absence Without Disability.  If you fail to attend to your regularly
assigned duties at the Company on a full-time basis for reasons other than
incapacity due to physical or mental illness, or other than due to “Disability”
as defined, and within 30 days after written notice of termination is given you
shall not have returned to the full-time performance of your duties, the
Company may terminate this Agreement for Cause.  “Disability” for purposes of this Agreement may be established by
a written certificate from a licensed physician.

 

b.             Cause. 
The Company may terminate your employment for Cause.  For the purposes of this Agreement, the
Company shall have “Cause” to terminate your employment hereunder if, and only if,
(A) you shall commit an act of fraud, embezzlement, or theft constituting a
felony, (B) you become liable to the Company for acts or omissions involving
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (C) you engage in any
transaction relating to the Company from which you personally receive a benefit
in money, property, or services to which you are not legally entitled or (D)
cause as described in paragraph 4(a) above. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be deemed to have been
terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to you a
copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than
three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board
called and held for the purpose (after reasonable notice to you and an
opportunity for you, together with your counsel, to be heard before the Board),
finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board you were guilty of conduct
constituting Cause as defined above and specifying the particulars thereof in
detail.

 

c.             Good Reason.  Termination by you of your employment for “Good Reason” shall
mean termination based on:

 

i.              a change in your
status or position(s) with the Company, which, in your reasonable judgment,
does not represent either a substantially similar position or a promotion from
your status or position(s) as in effect immediately prior to the change in
control, or a change in your duties or responsibilities which, in your
reasonable judgment, is inconsistent with such status or positions), or any
removal of you from or any failure to reappoint or reelect you to such
positions) or to substantially similar or superior positions), except in
connection with the termination of your employment for Cause or as a result of
your death;

 

ii.             a reduction by the
Company in your base salary as in effect immediately prior to the change in
control;

 

4

 

iii.            unless by reason
of a change in law, the failure by the Company to continue in effect any “Plan”
(as hereinafter defined) in which you are participating at the time of the
change in control of the Company (or Plans providing you with at least
substantially similar benefits) other than as a result of the normal expiration
of any such Plan in accordance with its terms as in effect at the time of the change
in control, or the taking of any action, or the failure to act, by the Company
which would adversely affect your continued participation in any of such Plans
on at least as favorable a basis to you as is the case on the date of the
change in control or which would materially reduce your benefits in the future
under any of such Plans or deprive you of any material benefit enjoyed by you
at the time of the change in control;

 

iv.            the failure by the
Company to provide and credit you with the number of paid vacation days to
which you are then entitled in accordance with the Company’s normal vacation
policy as in effect immediately prior to the change in control;

 

v.             the Company’s
requiring you to be based outside the Seattle metropolitan area except for required
travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the
business travel obligations which you undertook on behalf of the Company prior
to the change in control;

 

vi.            the failure by the
Company to obtain from any successor the assent to this Agreement contemplated
by Section 7 hereof;

 

vii.           any purported
termination by the Company of your employment which is not effected pursuant to
a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of this Agreement; and for
purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective;
or

 

viii.          any refusal by the
Company to continue to allow you to attend to matters or engage in activities
not directly related to the business of the Company which, prior to the change
in control, you were permitted by the Board to attend to or engage in.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Plan” shall mean any compensation plan
such as an incentive or stock option plan or any employee benefit plan such as
a thrift, pension, profit sharing, medical, disability, accident, life
insurance plan, or a relocation plan or policy or any other plan, program, or
policy of the Company intended to benefit employees.

 

d.             Notice of Termination.  Any notice of any termination of your
employment shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other
party

 

5

 

hereto.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of
Termination” of your employment by Company shall mean a notice which shall
indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, and
shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide a basis for termination of your employment under the provision so
indicated.

 

e.             Date of Termination.  “Date of Termination” shall mean the date on
which a Notice of Termination is given; provided that if the Company gives you
a Notice of Termination and you notify the Company, in writing, within 30 days
that a bona fide dispute exists concerning the termination, and that you wish
to continue in the full-time employment of the Company while such dispute is
resolved, then the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the dispute
is finally determined, either by mutual written agreement of the parties or by
a final judgment, order, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the
time for appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been
perfected).  The term of this Agreement
shall be extended until the Date of Termination.

 

5.             Compensation Following Change in Control.  Following the date of occurrence of any
event constituting a change of control, you shall be entitled to compensation
from the Company as set forth below, subject to the terms and conditions of
Section 4.

 

a.             Disability.  During any period that you fail to perform your duties hereunder
as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, you shall continue
to receive your full base salary at the rate then in effect for the term of
this Agreement.  Thereafter, your
benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Company’s long-term
disability income insurance plan.  If
Company’s long-term disability income insurance plan is terminated following a
change in control.  the Company shall
substitute such a plan with substantially similar benefits applicable to you.

 

b.             Termination for Cause or Without Good Reason.  If your employment shall be terminated by
the Company for Cause, or by you other than for Good Reason, the Company shall
pay you your full base salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in
effect as of the time of such termination and the Company shall have no further
obligations to you under this Agreement.

 

c.             Other Termination, Including Termination With Good Reason.  If your employment with the Company shall be
terminated (whether by you or the Company), other than (A) because of your
death, or (B) in the circumstances set forth in (b) above, then the Company
shall pay to you, upon demand, the following amounts (the “Severance
Payments”):

 

6

 

i.              your full base
salary through the Date of Termination at the higher of (a) the rate in effect
on the date the change in control occurs, or (b) the rate in effect as of the
time of such termination;

 

ii.             in lieu of any
other severance benefits to which you may be entitled for periods subsequent to
the Date of Termination an amount equal to the product of (a) the sum of your
annual base salary, at the rate in effect on the date the change in control
occurs, plus the average annual incentive compensation (if any) paid to you in
respect of the two fiscal years prior to the fiscal year in which the change in
control occurs, multiplied by (b) the number three (but subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 10); and

 

iii.            all legal fees and
expenses incurred by you as a result of such termination (including all such
fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or disputing any such
termination or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by
this Agreement); provided however that

 

iv.            if any portion of
the payments to be made pursuant to this Section 5 would not be deductible
by the Company as “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the payment to you
pursuant to Subsection (ii), above, shall be reduced so that no portion of
the payments made pursuant to this Section 5 would be “excess parachute
payments” within the meaning of the Code, it being the Company’s intent that
you receive the maximum amount to which you are entitled, but that no portion
of the payments to you be subject to income tax treatment as an “excess
parachute payment” under the Code. 
Determinations whether the payments would be “excess parachute payments”
and the amount of reduction which avoids the resulting adverse income tax
treatment shall be made in writing by recognized tax counsel selected by the
Company and reasonably acceptable to you.

 

d.             Related Benefits.  Unless you die or your employment is
terminated by Company for Cause, or by you other than for Good Reason, the
Company shall maintain in full force and effect.  for the continued benefit of you for one year after the Date of
Termination, all employee health, medical, disability, and life insurance
benefit plans and programs or arrangements in which you were entitled to
participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination provided that your
continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of
such plans and programs; provided, however, that if you become eligible to
participate in a benefit plan, program, or arrangement of another employer
which confers substantially similar benefits upon you, you shall cease to
receive benefits under this subparagraph in respect of such plan, program, or
arrangement.  In the event that your
participation in any such plan or

 

7

 

program is
barred, the Company shall arrange to provide you with benefits substantially
similar to those which you are entitled to receive under such plans and
programs.

 

e.             No Mitigation.  You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
provided for in this Section 5 by seeking other employment or otherwise,
nor, except as expressly set forth herein, shall the amount of any payment
provided for in this Section 5 be reduced by any compensation earned by
you as a result of employment by another employer after the Date of
Termination, or otherwise.

 

6.             Notice. 
For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications
provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail,
return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective
addresses set forth on the first page of this Agreement, provided that all
notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Chief
Executive Officer of the company with a copy to the Secretary of the Company,
or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in
writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall
be effective only upon receipt.

 

7.             Successors:  Binding Agreement.

 

a.             This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, any corporate or
other successor or assignee of the Company which shall acquire, directly or
indirectly, by merger, consolidation or purchase, or otherwise, all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.  The Company shall require any such successor,
by an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to you, expressly to assume
and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent
as the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken
place.

 

b.             This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by your personal or legal
representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees,
devisees, and legatees.  If you should
die while any amount would still be payable to you hereunder if you had
continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be
paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to your devisee, legatee,
or other designee or, if there is no such designee, to your estate.

 

8.             Miscellaneous.  No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived, or
discharged unless such modification, waiver, or discharge is agreed to in a
writing signed by you and the Chairman of the Board or President of the Company.  No waiver by either party hereto at any time
of any breach by the other party hereto of, or of compliance with, any
condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party
shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at
the same, or at any prior or subsequent, time. 
No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied,
with respect to the subject

 

8

 

matter hereof
have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this
Agreement.  The validity,
interpretation, construction, and performance of this Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Washington.

 

9.             Validity.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

 

10.          Payments During Controversy.  Notwithstanding the pendency of any dispute
or controversy, the Company will continue to pay you your full compensation in
effect when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given and continue you as
a participant in all compensation, benefit, and insurance plans in which you
were participating when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given, until
the dispute is finally resolved in accordance with paragraph (e) of
Section 4.  If the Company is
determined to be the prevailing party in such dispute, amounts paid during such
controversy are not in addition to all other amounts due under this Agreement
and shall be offset against and reduce any other amounts due under this
Agreement but not below zero so that no affirmative recovery shall be obtained
from you on such account.  You shall be
entitled to sue for specific performance of your right to be paid until the
Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising
under or in connection with this Agreement.

 

If this letter correctly sets forth our agreement on the subject matter
hereof, kindly sign and return to the Company the enclosed copy of this letter,
which will then constitute our agreement on this subject.

                  reinstatement of such Receivable;

                           (5) Obligor Not Subject to Bankruptcy Proceedings.
                  Each Receivable has been entered into by an Obligor who had
                  not been identified on the computer files of the Seller as in
                  bankruptcy proceedings;

                           (6) No Overdue Payments. Each Receivable had no

                  a remaining Principal Balance of at least $2,000 and not
                  greater than $100,000;

                           (8) No Force Placed Insurance. Each Receivable was
                  secured by a Financed Vehicle that was not insured by a force
                  placed insurance policy or any vendor's single interest and
                  non-filing insurance policy;

                  (a) has been originated in the form of a credit sales
                  transaction by a Dealer or a purchase money loan or other note
                  through a Dealer located in one of the States of the United
                  States (including the District of Columbia) for the retail
                  financing of a Financed Vehicle and has been fully and
                  properly executed by the parties thereto, (b) if a retail
                  installment sales contract, has been purchased by the Seller
                  from the originating Dealer or an Affiliate of the Seller and
                  has been validly assigned by such Dealer or an Affiliate of
                  the Seller to the Seller in accordance with its terms; (c)
                  contains customary and enforceable provisions such that the
                  rights and remedies of the holder thereof are adequate for

                  security; and (d) provides for fully amortizing level
                  scheduled monthly payments (provided that the payment in the

                  the level scheduled payment) and for accrual of interest at a

                           (11) Compliance with Laws. Each Receivable and each
                  sale of the related Financed Vehicle complied at the time it
                  was originated or made, and complied on and after the Cutoff
                  Date, in all material respects with all requirements of
                  applicable federal, state, and local laws, and regulations
                  thereunder, including usury laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending
                  Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit
                  Reporting Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the
                  Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Federal Reserve Board Regulations
                  B and Z, state adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of
                  the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, and any other consumer
                  credit, equal opportunity, and disclosure laws, in each case
                  as applicable to such Receivable and sale thereof;

                           (12) Binding Obligation. Each Receivable constitutes
                  the legal, valid, and binding payment obligation in writing of
                  the Obligor, enforceable by the holder thereof in all material
                  respects in accordance with its terms, subject, as to
                  enforcement, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
                  reorganization, liquidation and other similar laws and
                  equitable principles relating to or affecting the enforcement
                  of creditors' rights;

                           (13) No Government Obligor. Each Receivable is not
                  due from the United States of America or any State or from any
                  agency, department, instrumentality or political subdivision
                  of the United States of America or any State or local
                  municipality, and each Receivable is not due from a business
                  except to the extent that such Receivable has a personal
                  guaranty;

                           (14) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle.
                  Immediately prior to the sale and assignment thereof to the
                  Issuer as herein contemplated, each Receivable was secured by
                  a validly perfected first priority security interest in the
                  related Financed Vehicle in favor of or for the benefit of the
                  Seller as secured party (subject to administrative delays and
                  clerical errors on the part of the applicable governmental
                  agency and to any statutory or other lien arising by operation
                  of law after the Closing Date which is prior to such security
                  interest), the Seller's security interest (or beneficial
                  interest therein) is assignable, and has been so assigned by
                  the Seller to the Issuer, and at such time as enforcement of
                  such security interest is sought, each Receivable shall be
                  secured by a validly perfected first priority security
                  interest in the related Financed Vehicle for the benefit of
                  the Issuer (subject to administrative delays and clerical
                  errors on the part of the applicable governmental agency and
                  to any statutory or other lien arising by operation of law
                  after the Closing Date which is prior to such security
                  interest);

                           (15) Receivables in Force. No Receivable has been
                  satisfied, subordinated, or rescinded, nor has any Financed
                  Vehicle been released from the Lien granted by the related
                  Receivable, in whole or in part;

                                       26
<PAGE>

                           (16) No Waiver. No provision of a Receivable has been
                  waived in such a manner that such Receivable fails either to
                  meet all of the representations and warranties made by the
                  Seller herein with respect thereto or to meet all of the
                  conditions with respect thereto pursuant to this Section
                  3.1(b);

                           (17) No Amendments. No Receivable has been amended
                  except pursuant to either instruments included in the
                  Receivable Files or instruments to be included in the
                  Receivable Files pursuant to Section 4.2 (or otherwise
                  maintained by the Seller in the ordinary course of its
                  business), and no such amendment has caused such Receivable
                  either to fail to meet all of the representations and
                  warranties made by the Seller herein with respect thereto or
                  to fail to meet all of the conditions with respect thereto
                  pursuant to this Section 3.1(b);

                           (18) No Defenses. The Seller had no knowledge either
                  of any facts which would give rise to any right of rescission,
                  setoff, counterclaim, or defense, or of the same being
                  asserted or threatened, with respect to any Receivable;

                           (19) No Liens. The Seller had no knowledge of any
                  Liens or claims that have been filed, including liens for
                  work, labor, materials or unpaid taxes relating to a Financed
                  Vehicle, that would be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate
                  with, the lien granted by the Receivable;

                           (20) No Default. Except for payment defaults
                  continuing for a period of not more than 30 days as of the
                  close of business on the Cutoff Date, the Seller has no
                  knowledge that a default, breach, violation, or event
                  permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable
                  exists; the Seller has no knowledge that a continuing
                  condition that with notice or lapse of time would constitute a
                  default, breach, violation, or event permitting acceleration
                  under the terms of any Receivable exists; and the Seller has
                  not waived any of the foregoing;

                           (21) Insurance. Each Receivable requires that the
                  Obligor thereunder maintain comprehensive, liability, theft
                  and physical damage insurance covering the related Financed
                  Vehicle;

                           (22) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable has been
                  originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction
                  under which the sale, transfer, and assignment of such
                  Receivable under this Agreement or pursuant to transfers of
                  the Certificates or the Notes is unlawful, void or voidable;

                           (23) All Filings Made. No filings (other than filings
                  under the Relevant UCC which have been made) or other actions
                  are necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Issuer a first
                  perfected security interest in the Receivables;

                                       27
<PAGE>

                           (24) Chattel Paper. Each Receivable constitutes
                  either "tangible chattel paper" or "electronic chattel paper"
                  within the meaning of the Relevant UCC. In the case of a
                  Receivable constituting "tangible chattel paper" within the
                  meaning of the Relevant UCC, there is no more than one
                  original executed copy of such Receivable, which immediately
                  prior to delivery thereof to the Servicer (as custodian) for
                  the Issuer, was in the possession of the Seller. In the case
                  of a Receivable constituting "electronic chattel paper" within
                  the meaning of the Relevant UCC, (a) there is no more than one
                  authoritative copy of such Receivable which (i) is unique,
                  identifiable and unalterable, (ii) has been marked with a
                  unique encrypted numerical identifier and (iii) was
                  communicated to and maintained by the Seller, and (b) the
                  Seller has not communicated an authoritative copy of such
                  Receivable to any Person;

                           (25) Excluded Loans. Each Receivable is not a
                  Receivable originated by or through a Dealer located in the
                  State of Alabama, Maine or Maryland; and

                           (26) No Debt Cancellation Policy. No Receivable is
                  subject to a Debt Cancellation Policy.

                  (b) Repurchase Upon Breach or Failure of a Condition. The
Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as the case
may be, shall inform the other parties in writing, upon the discovery by the
Seller, the Servicer or an Authorized Officer of the Indenture Trustee or the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be, of either any breach of the Seller's
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(a) or the failure of any
Receivable to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1(b) which
materially and adversely affects the Holders' interest in any Receivable. Unless
the breach or failed condition shall have been cured by the last day of the
Collection Period following the Collection Period in which such discovery
occurred (or, at the Seller's option, the last day of the Collection Period in
which such discovery occurred), the Seller shall repurchase any Receivable the
Holders' interest in which was materially and adversely affected by the breach
or failed condition, as of such last day. In consideration of the repurchase of
a Receivable, the Seller shall remit the Repurchase Amount of such Receivable as
of such last day (less any Liquidation Proceeds deposited, or to be deposited,
by the Servicer in the Collection Account with respect to such Receivable
pursuant to Section 4.3) in the manner specified in Section 5.4. The sole remedy
of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Holders with respect either to a
breach of the Seller's representations and warranties set forth in Section
3.1(a) or to a failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1(b)
shall be to require the Seller to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this
Section 3.2. The obligation of the Seller to repurchase under this Section 3.2
shall not be dependent upon the actual knowledge of the Seller of any breached
representation or warranty and shall exist without regard to any limitation set
forth in any representation or warranty concerning the knowledge of the Seller
as to the facts stated therein. The Owner Trustee shall have no duty to conduct
any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring
the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 3.2 or the eligibility
of any Receivable for purposes of this Agreement.

                  (c) Custody of Receivable Files. To assure uniform quality in
servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuer, upon
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, agrees to have the Servicer act as
custodian of the following authoritative copies, documents or instruments (the
"Receivable Files") which are hereby constructively delivered to the Issuer with
respect to each Receivable:

                                       28
<PAGE>

                                    (1) in the case of a Receivable constituting
                  "tangible chattel paper" within the meaning of the Relevant
                  UCC, the original executed copy of such Receivable or, in the
                  case of a Receivable constituting "electronic chattel paper"
                  within the meaning of the Relevant UCC, the authoritative copy
                  of such Receivable; and

                                    (2) Any and all other documents or records
                  that the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall
                  keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures,
                  relating to a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle.

                  The Servicer hereby agrees to act as custodian and as agent
for the Issuer hereunder. The Servicer acknowledges that it holds the documents
and instruments relating to the Receivables for the benefit of the Issuer. The
Issuer shall have no responsibility to monitor the Servicer's performance as
custodian and shall have no liability in connection with the Servicer's
performance of such duties hereunder.

                  (d) Duties of Servicer as Custodian.

                  (A) Safekeeping. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian,
         shall hold the Receivable Files on behalf of the Issuer, and maintain
         such accurate and complete accounts, records (either original execution
         documents or copies of such originally executed documents shall be
         sufficient) and computer systems pertaining to the Receivables as shall
         enable the Issuer to comply with its obligations pursuant to this
         Agreement. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall
         act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that
         the Servicer exercises with respect to the receivable files of
         comparable new or used automobile receivables that the Servicer
         services for itself. The Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be
         conducted, periodic audits of the files of all receivables owned or
         serviced by the Servicer which shall include the Receivable Files held
         by it under this Agreement and the related accounts, records and
         computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Owner Trustee or
         the Indenture Trustee to identify all Receivable Files and such related
         accounts, records and computer systems and to verify, if the Owner
         Trustee or the Indenture Trustee so elects, the accuracy of the
         Servicer's recordkeeping. The Servicer shall promptly report to the
         Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to hold
         the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records, and computer
         systems as herein provided, and promptly take appropriate action to
         remedy any such failure.

                  (B) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer shall
         maintain each Receivable File at one of the locations specified in
         Schedule B to this Agreement, or at such other location as shall be
         specified to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by 30 days'
         prior written notice. The Servicer shall make available to the Owner
         Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or their respective duly authorized
         representatives, attorneys or auditors, the Receivable Files and the
         related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the
         Servicer at such times during normal operating hours as the Owner
         Trustee or Indenture Trustee shall reasonably instruct which does not
         unreasonably interfere with the Servicer's normal operations or
         customer or employee relations.

                                       29
<PAGE>

                  (C) Release of Documents. Upon instruction from the Indenture
         Trustee (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, from the Owner
         Trustee), the Servicer shall release any document in the Receivable
         Files to the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, or their respective
         agents or designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as such
         Person may reasonably designate as soon as reasonably practicable to
         the extent it does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer's
         normal operations or customer or employee relations. The Servicer shall
         not be responsible for any loss occasioned by the failure of the Owner
         Trustee or Indenture Trustee, or their respective agents or designees,
         to return any document or any delay in doing so.

                  (D) Title to Receivables. The Servicer agrees that, in respect
         of any Receivable held by it as custodian hereunder, (i) the Servicer
         will not at any time have or in any way attempt to assert any interest
         in such Receivable or the related Receivable File, other than solely
         for the purpose of collecting or enforcing the Receivable for the
         benefit of the Issuer and (ii) the related Receivable File shall at all
         times be property of the Issuer.

         (e) Instructions; Authority to Act. The Servicer shall be deemed to
have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its
receipt of written instructions signed by an Authorized Officer of the Indenture
Trustee (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, of the Owner Trustee). A
certified copy of a by-law or of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall constitute
conclusive evidence of the authority of any such Authorized Officer to act and
shall be considered in full force and effect until receipt by the Servicer of
written notice to the contrary given by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee, as the case may be.

         (f) Custodian's Indemnification. The Servicer, as custodian, shall
indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee for any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments, costs, or expenses of
any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee as the result of any act or
omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer, as
custodian, of the Receivable Files; provided, however, that the Servicer shall
not be liable for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful
misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee.

         (g) Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer's appointment as
custodian shall become effective as of the Cutoff Date and shall continue in
full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section 3.7 or until
this Agreement shall be terminated. If the Servicer shall resign as Servicer
under Section 7.5 or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer shall
have been terminated under Section 8.1, the appointment of the Servicer as
custodian may be terminated by the Indenture Trustee or by the Holders of Notes
evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Notes (or, if there are no Notes outstanding, the Holders of Certificates
representing not less than a majority of the Certificate Balance), in the same
manner as the Indenture Trustee or such Holders may terminate the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under Section 8.1. As soon as practicable after any
termination of such appointment, the Servicer shall, at its expense, deliver
and/or electronically communicate the Receivable Files to the Issuer or the
Issuer's agent at such place or places as the Issuer may reasonably designate.
Notwithstanding the termination of the Servicer as custodian, the Owner Trustee
agrees that upon any such termination, the Issuer shall provide, or cause its
agent to provide, access to the Receivable Files to the Servicer for the purpose
of carrying out its duties and responsibilities with respect to the servicing of
the Receivables hereunder.

                           ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

         (a) Duties of Servicer. The Servicer is hereby authorized to act as
agent for the Issuer and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and
make collections on the Receivables (other than Repurchased Receivables) with
reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer
exercises with respect to comparable new or used automobile receivables that it
services for itself. The Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting
of all payments, responding to inquiries by Obligors or by federal, state, or
local governmental authorities with respect to the Receivables, investigating
delinquencies, reporting tax information to Obligors in accordance with its
customary practices, advancing costs of disposition of defaults, monitoring
Receivables in cases of Obligor defaults, accounting for collections, furnishing
monthly and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee with respect to
distributions. The Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies, and
procedures in performing its duties as Servicer hereunder; provided that the
Servicer shall be permitted to take or to refrain from taking any action not
specified in this Agreement with respect to servicing the Receivables if such
action or inaction would not contravene any material term of this Agreement or
materially and adversely affect the interests of Holders and is not outside
customary or normal servicing procedures. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Servicer shall be authorized and empowered by the Issuer to
execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee and the Holders, 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, without recourse to the Issuer, with respect to the
Receivables or with respect to the Financed Vehicles. If the Servicer shall
commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable,
the Issuer shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such
Receivable and the related property conveyed to the Issuer with respect to such
Receivable to the Servicer, solely for the purpose of collection. The Owner
Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with such documents as have been prepared by
the Servicer for execution by the Owner Trustee and as are necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative
duties hereunder.

         (b) Collection of Receivable Payments; Refinancing. (A) The Servicer
shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms
and provisions of the Receivables and of this Agreement as and when the same
shall become due, and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with
respect to comparable new or used automobile receivables that it services for
itself and that are consistent with prudent industry standards. In connection
therewith, the Servicer may grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a
Receivable without the consent of the Issuer; provided, however, that if the
Servicer extends the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable
beyond the Final Scheduled Maturity Date, it shall promptly repurchase such
Receivable pursuant to Section 4.6. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion
to waive any Late Fees that may be due in the ordinary course of collecting a
Receivable; provided, further, that the Servicer shall not agree to any change
in the underlying Contract Rate on any Receivable, to any change in the
Principal Balance thereof (except with respect to a prepayment of a scheduled
payment that does not result in a deferral of any other scheduled payment), to
any reduction of the total number of payments due thereunder or, subject to the
foregoing, to any reduction of the amount of any scheduled payment on a
Receivable. In the event that at the end of the scheduled term of any
Receivable, the outstanding principal amount thereof is such that the final
payment to be made by the related Obligor is larger than the regularly scheduled
payment of principal and interest made by such Obligor, the Servicer may permit
such Obligor to pay such remaining principal amount in more than one payment of
principal and interest; provided, however, that the last such payment shall be
due on or prior to the Final Scheduled Maturity Date.

                                       31
<PAGE>

                  (B) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
         contrary, the Servicer may refinance any Receivable by accepting a new
         promissory note from the related Obligor and applying the proceeds of
         such refinancing to pay all obligations in full of such Obligor under
         such Receivable. The receivable created by the refinancing shall not be
         property of the Issuer.

         (c) Realization Upon Receivables. The Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to repossess or
otherwise take possession of the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable during
the calendar month in which more than 10% of any scheduled payment thereunder
becomes 90 days delinquent; provided, however that the Servicer may repossess or
otherwise take possession of the Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable (i)
earlier if (A) such Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable, (B) the Servicer
determines that such Financed Vehicle is in danger of being damaged, destroyed
or otherwise made unavailable for repossession or (C) the related Obligor
voluntarily surrenders such Financed Vehicle or (ii) later if (A) the Servicer
is unable to locate such Financed Vehicle, (B) the related Obligor is the
subject of a bankruptcy proceeding or (C) the Servicer otherwise defers
repossession of such Financed Vehicle in accordance with its normal and
customary servicing practices and procedures. After repossession of a Financed
Vehicle, the Servicer shall in accordance with its customary and usual practices
and procedures sell such Financed Vehicle in an auction or consign such Financed
Vehicle to a Dealer for resale as soon as is practicable after repossession,
subject to any applicable laws. The Servicer shall follow such customary and
usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in
determining when and if to exercise reasonable efforts to realize upon any
recourse to Dealers. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover from proceeds all
reasonable expenses incurred by it in the course of converting the Financed
Vehicle into cash proceeds. The Liquidation Proceeds with respect to a
Receivable shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account in the
manner specified in Section 5.2 and shall be applied to reduce (or to satisfy,
as the case may be) the Repurchase Amount of the Receivable, if such Receivable
is to be repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.2, or is to be
purchased by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.6. The foregoing shall be
subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Financed Vehicle shall
have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with the
repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in
its sole discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the
Liquidation Proceeds of the related Receivable by an amount equal to or greater
than the amount of such expenses.

         (d) Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The
Servicer, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, shall take such
steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the first priority security
interest of the Seller created in any Financed Vehicle which secures a
Receivable. The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture
Trustee hereby authorize the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby agrees, to take
such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest in the event of
the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason, in either case,
when the Servicer has knowledge of the need for such re-perfection. In the event
that the assignment of a Receivable to the Issuer and by the Issuer to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture is insufficient without a notation
on the related Financed Vehicle's certificate of title, or without fulfilling
any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the State in which
the Financed Vehicle is located, to grant to the Indenture Trustee a perfected
security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, the Seller and Servicer
hereby agree that the Seller's listing as the secured party on the certificate
of title is deemed to be in its capacity as agent of the Indenture Trustee and
the Servicer further agrees to hold such certificate of title as the Indenture
Trustee's agent and custodian; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not,
nor shall the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or Holders have the right to
require that the Servicer, make any such notation on the related Financed
Vehicles' certificate of title or fulfill any such additional administrative
requirement of the laws of the State in which a Financed Vehicle is located.

         (e) Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer hereby makes the following
covenants on which the Issuer will rely in accepting the Receivables:

                  (1) Security Interest to Remain in Force. The Financed Vehicle
         securing each Receivable shall not be released from the security
         interest granted by the Receivable in whole or in part except if such
         Financed Vehicle is substituted in whole by the manufacturer, dealer or
         seller as a result of mechanical defects or a total loss of the
         Financed Vehicle because of accident or theft or as otherwise
         contemplated herein;

                  (2) No Impairment. The Servicer shall not impair the rights of
         the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any Holder in the Receivables; and

                  (3) Extensions; Defaulted Receivables. The Servicer shall not
         increase the number of payments under a Receivable, nor increase the
         Amount Financed under a Receivable, nor extend or forgive payments on a
         Receivable or otherwise amend the terms of any Receivable, except as
         provided in Section 4.2.

         (f) Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. The Seller, the Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the
other parties promptly, in writing, upon the discovery by the Seller, the
Servicer or an Authorized Officer of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee,
as the case may be, of any breach by the Servicer of its covenants under Section
4.5 which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Holders in any
Receivable (for this purpose, any breach of the covenant set forth in Section
4.5(iii) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interest of the
Holders in a Receivable). Except as otherwise specified in Section 4.2, unless
the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the Collection Period
following the Collection Period in which such discovery occurred (or, at the
Servicer's election, the last day of the Collection Period in which such
discovery occurred), the Servicer shall purchase any Receivable materially and
adversely affected by such breach as of such last day. In consideration of the
purchase of such Receivable, the Servicer shall remit the Repurchase Amount
(less any Liquidation Proceeds deposited, or to be deposited, by the Servicer in
the Collection Account with respect to such Receivable pursuant to Section 4.3)
in the manner specified in Section 5.4. The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Holders against the Servicer with respect
to a breach pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.5 shall be to require the Servicer to
purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 4.6. The Owner Trustee shall have
no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any
condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section
4.6 or the eligibility of any Receivable for purposes of this Agreement.

         (g) Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee for a Collection Period shall be
payable on the related Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.5 and shall equal the
sum of (i)(A) in the case of the first Payment Date, the product of 22
multiplied by 1/360 of the Servicing Fee Rate and the Pool Balance as of the
Cutoff Date or (B) for all other Payment Dates, the product of one-twelfth of
the Servicing Fee Rate and the Pool Balance as of the related Settlement Date
and (ii) Late Fees received from Obligors during such Collection Period. In
addition, as part of the Servicing Fee, the Servicer shall be entitled to
receive on each Payment Date Investment Earnings when and as paid on amounts on
deposit in the Collection Account or earned on collections pending deposit in
the Collection Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay from its own
account all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder
(including fees and disbursements of independent accountants and auditors, taxes
imposed on the Servicer, and other costs incurred in connection with
administering and servicing the Receivables) and the fees and disbursements of
the Issuer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the
Owner Trustee's and the Indenture Trustee's respective counsel, the Securities
Intermediaries, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent, the Note Registrar
and the Certificate Registrar except for United States federal, state and local
income and franchise taxes, if any, imposed on the Issuer or any Holder or any
expenses in connection with realizing upon Receivables under Section 4.3.

         (h) Servicer's Certificate. On or before each Determination Date, the
Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Paying
Agent and the Rating Agencies a Servicer's Certificate, substantially in the
form of Exhibit A, for the Collection Period preceding such Determination Date,
containing all information necessary to make the distributions pursuant to
Section 5.5, and all information necessary for the Paying Agent to send
statements to Holders pursuant to Section 5.9. The Servicer shall deliver to the
Rating Agencies any information, to the extent it is available to the Servicer,
that the Rating Agencies reasonably request in order to monitor the Issuer. The
Servicer shall also specify each Receivable which the Seller or the Servicer is
required to repurchase or purchase, as the case may be, as of the last day of
the preceding Collection Period and each Receivable which the Servicer shall
have determined to be a Defaulted Receivable during the preceding Collection
Period. Subsequent to the Closing Date, the form of Servicer's Certificate may
be revised or modified to cure any ambiguities or inconsistencies between such
form and this Agreement; provided, however, that no material information shall
be deleted from the form of Servicer's Certificate. In the event that the form
of Servicer's Certificate is revised or modified in accordance with the
preceding sentence, a form thereof, as so revised or modified, shall be provided
to the Owner Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating
Agency.

         (i) Annual Statement as to Compliance. (A) The Servicer shall deliver
to a firm of independent certified public accountants, on or before March 31 of
each year commencing March 31, 2004, a certificate signed by the chairman of the
board, the president, the treasurer, the controller, any executive or senior
vice president or any vice president of the Servicer, stating that (a) a review
of the activities of the Servicer during the year ended the preceding December
31 (or the period since the Cutoff Date in the case of the first such
certificate) and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under
such officer's supervision and (b) to the best of such officer's knowledge,
based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations in all
material respects under this Agreement throughout such year (or the period since
the Cutoff Date in the case of the first such certificate), or, if there has
been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such
default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

                  (B) The Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the
         Owner Trustee and each Rating Agency promptly after having obtained
         knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days
         thereafter, an Officer's Certificate specifying any event which with
         the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event
         of Servicing Termination under Section 8.1. The Seller shall deliver to
         the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, promptly after having
         obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business
         Days thereafter, an Officer's Certificate specifying any event which
         with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an
         Event of Servicing Termination under Section 8.1.

         (j) Annual Audit Report. The Servicer shall cause a firm of independent
public accountants (which may provide other services to the Servicer or the
Seller) to prepare a report (with a copy of the certificate described in Section
4.9(a) attached) addressed to the Board of Directors of the Servicer, for the
information and use of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Rating
Agencies on or before March of each year, beginning March 31, 2004 to the effect
that, with respect to the twelve months ended the preceding December 31 (or the
period since the Cutoff Date, in the case of the first such certificate), such
firm has either (A) examined a written assertion by the Servicer about the
effectiveness of the Servicer's internal control structure over the processing
and reporting of transactions relating to securitized automobile loans with
respect to the criteria set forth by the Servicer (the "Assertion") and that, on
the basis of such examination, such firm is of the opinion that the Servicer's
Assertion is fairly stated in all material respects except for such exceptions
as shall be set forth in such firm's report, or (B) such firm has performed the
following procedures:

1. For a sample of daily cash receipts during the preceding calendar year:

         a.       Trace total cash receipts to deposits on bank statements.
         b.       Agree cash receipts for securitized loans to computer reports.
         c.       Trace cash receipts for securitized loans to disbursements to
                  the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee.

                                       34
<PAGE>

2. For a sample of monthly cash receipt reports:

         a.       Agree total cash receipts per the cash receipt reports to
                  "Total Payments From Obligors Applied to Collection Period"
                  per monthly Servicer Certificates.

         b.       Agree total principal payments per the cash receipt reports to
                  "Principal Payments" per monthly Servicer Certificates.

3.       For a sample of loans delinquent 30 days or more and for a sample of
         loans in repossession status, selected from the loan delinquency report
         or a new repossession report, as applicable, at a point in time, trace
         loan number to inclusion in the loan collection system.

The determination of which of the two alternative reports to be prepared and
delivered, and the size of each sample to be tested, shall be decided in the
sole discretion of the Servicer. The report of the independent certified public
accountants shall also indicate that such accounting firm is independent of the
Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

         (k) Access by Holders to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to the Holders access to the
Receivable Files in such cases where the Holders shall be required by applicable
statutes or regulations to have access to such documentation. Access by the
Holders shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours which does not unreasonably interfere with the
Servicer's normal operations or customer or employee relations. Nothing in this
Section 4.11 shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and
the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such
obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.11.

         (l) Reports to Holders and the Rating Agencies.(A) The Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, shall provide to any Holder who so
requests in writing (addressed to the Corporate Trust Office of such trustee) a

statement described in Section 4.9(a), or of the annual report described in
Section 4.10. The Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, may
require the Holder to pay a reasonable sum to cover the cost of the Indenture
Trustee's or the Owner Trustee's complying with such request, as applicable.

         (b) The Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, shall
forward to the Rating Agencies the statement to Holders described in Section 5.9
and any other reports it may receive pursuant to this Agreement to (i) Standard
& Poor's, Standard & Poor's Ratings Service, 55 Water Street, New York, New York
10041, (ii) Moody's, ABS Monitoring Dept., 99 Church Street, 4th Floor, New
York, New York 10007 and (iii) Fitch, One State Street Plaza, 32nd Floor, New

         (m) Reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission.The Servicer
shall, on behalf of the Issuer, cause to be filed with the Commission any
periodic reports required to be filed under the provisions of the Exchange Act

ACCOUNTS; DISTRIBUTIONS;
STATEMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

         SECTION 2.1 Establishment of Collection Account and Note Distribution
Account. (A) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer, the Collection Account
Securities Intermediary and the Indenture Trustee shall have entered into the
Collection Account Control Agreement pursuant to which the Collection Account
shall be established and maintained for the benefit of the Noteholders and the
Certificateholders. If the depositary of the Collection Account ceases to be
either a Qualified Institution or a Qualified Trust Institution, as applicable,
the Issuer shall cause the Collection Account to be moved to a Qualified
Institution or a separate trust account in a Qualified Trust Institution and the
Indenture Trustee shall cause the depositary maintaining the new Collection
Account to assume the obligations of the existing Collection Account Securities
Intermediary under the Collection Account Control Agreement unless the Rating
Agency Condition is satisfied in connection with such depositary's ceasing to be
a Qualified Institution or a Qualified Trust Institution, as the case may be.
All amounts held in the Collection Account shall be invested in accordance with
the Collection Account Control Agreement at the written direction of the
Servicer to the extent provided in Section 8.3(a) and Section 8.3(c) of the
Indenture in Permitted Investments that mature not later than the Deposit Date
next succeeding the date of investment except, if the Collection Account
Securities Intermediary and the Indenture Trustee are the same Person,
investments on which the Indenture Trustee is the obligor (including repurchase
agreements on which the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity, is liable
as principal) may mature on the next succeeding Payment Date; provided, however,
that once such amounts have been invested in Permitted Investments, such
Permitted Investments must be held or maintained until they mature on or before
the dates described above.

                  (B) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall
         establish and maintain for the benefit of the Noteholders, in the name
         of the Indenture Trustee, an Eligible Deposit Account for the deposit
         of distributions to the Noteholders (the "Note Distribution Account"),
         bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited
         therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders. The Note
         Distribution Account shall be established initially at JPMorgan Chase
         Bank. Should any depositary of the Note Distribution Account or the
         Certificate Distribution Account (including JPMorgan Chase Bank (or an
         Affiliate thereof)) cease to be either a Qualified Institution or a
         Qualified Trust Institution, as applicable, then the Servicer shall,
         with the Seller's assistance as necessary, cause the related account to
         be moved to a Qualified Institution or a Qualified Trust Institution,
         unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied in connection with such
         depositary's ceasing to be a Qualified Institution or a Qualified Trust
         Institution, as the case may be. Amounts on deposit in the Note
         Distribution Account shall not be invested.

<PAGE>

                  (C) The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and
         interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Note
         Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof and all such funds,
         investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Owner Trust
         Estate.

         SECTION 2.2 Collections.(D) The Servicer shall remit daily within
forty-eight hours of receipt to the Collection Account all Collections collected
during the Collection Period. Chase USA has requested that, so long as it is
acting as the Servicer, the Servicer be permitted to make remittances of
Collections on a less frequent basis than that specified in the immediately
preceding sentence. It is understood that such less frequent remittances may be
made only on the specific terms and conditions set forth below in this Section
5.2 and only for so long as such terms and conditions are fulfilled.
Accordingly, notwithstanding the provisions of the first sentence of this
Section 5.2, the Servicer shall remit such collections to the Collection Account
in Automated Clearinghouse Corporation next-day funds or immediately available
funds no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Deposit Date, but
only for so long as (i) the short-term certificate of deposit ratings of the
Servicer are at least P-1 by Moody's, "F1" by Fitch (if rated by Fitch) and
"A-1" by Standard & Poor's, or the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied as a
result of Collections being remitted on a monthly, rather than daily, basis and
(ii) the Servicer shall be Chase USA or JPMorgan Chase Bank. Upon remittance by
the Servicer of Collections to the Collection Account pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the Paying Agent shall provide written notice to the Indenture Trustee
and the Owner Trustee no later than 11 a.m., New York City time, on each Deposit
Date, setting forth the amounts remitted by the Servicer on such date and, if
the Paying Agent fails to provide the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee,
with such written notice by 12 noon, New York City time, on such Deposit Date,
then the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall assume that no deposits
were made to the Collection Account pursuant to this Section 5.2. For purposes
of this Section 5.2 the phrase "payments made on behalf of the Obligors" shall
mean payments made by Persons other than the Seller or the Servicer.

         (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the
Servicer inadvertently deposits amounts that it mistakenly believes are
Collections resulting in the payment in full of a Receivable, and (i) the
Servicer discovers its error prior to the Payment following such deposit, the
Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of the Servicer, shall withdraw such
amounts and pay them to the Servicer or (ii) the Servicer shall be deemed to
have purchased such Receivable pursuant to Section 4.6 as of the last day of the
Collection Period during which such error shall have occurred.

SECTION 2.3 [Reserved].

         SECTION 2.4 Additional Deposits. The Servicer, or the Seller, as the
case may be, shall deposit into the Collection Account the aggregate Repurchase
Amount pursuant to Sections 3.2, 4.6 and 9.1(a), as applicable. All remittances
shall be made to the Collection Account, in Automated Clearinghouse Corporation
next-day funds or immediately available funds, no later than 11 a.m., New York
City time, on the Deposit Date.

         SECTION 2.5 Distributions.(E) No later than 12 noon, New York City
time, on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate all amounts
required to determine the amounts to be withdrawn from the Yield Supplement
Account and the amounts to be withdrawn from the Reserve Account (if any) and
deposited into the Collection Account and the amounts to be withdrawn from the
Collection Account and paid to the Servicer and the Administrator, deposited
into the Note Distribution Account and the Certificate Distribution Account

         contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the
         fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof do not conflict with,
         result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor
         constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under,
         the articles of association or bylaws of the Servicer, or conflict with
         or breach any of the material terms or provisions of, or constitute
         (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, any
         indenture, agreement, or other instrument to which the Servicer 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; nor violate any law or,
         to the best of the Servicer's knowledge, any order, rule, or regulation
         applicable to the Servicer of any court or of any federal or state
         regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental
         instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its
         properties.

                  (v) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations
         pending, or to the Servicer's best knowledge, threatened, before any
         court, regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental
         instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its
         properties: (a) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, 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 other Basic Document, (c) seeking
         any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect
         the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under, or the
         validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, any other Basic
         Document, the Notes or the Certificates, or (d) relating to the
         Servicer and which might adversely affect the federal or state income
         tax attributes of the Notes or the Certificates.

                  (vi) Fidelity Bond. The Servicer maintains a fidelity bond in
         such form and amount as is customary for banks acting as custodian of
         funds and documents in respect of retail automotive installment sales
         contracts.

                  SECTION 4.2 Liability of Servicer; Indemnities. The Servicer
shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations
specifically undertaken by the Servicer under this Agreement and shall have no
other obligations or liabilities hereunder.

                  (i) The Servicer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless
         the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders
         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 Servicer or any Affiliate thereof of a Financed
         Vehicle.

                  (ii) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
         the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee from and
         against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against the Issuer
         with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement,
         including, without limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general
         corporation, tangible or intangible 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 Receivables to the Issuer or the
         issuance and original sale of the Notes or the Certificates, or
         asserted with respect to ownership of the Receivables or federal, state
         or other income taxes, including franchise taxes measured by net
         income) arising out of distributions on the Notes or the Certificates
         and costs and expenses in defending against the same.

                  (iii) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
         the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders
         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 the Issuer, the
         Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Holders through the willful
         misfeasance, gross negligence, or bad faith of the Servicer in the
         performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless
         disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

                  Indemnification under this Section 7.2 shall include
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the
Servicer shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 7.2 and
the recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the recipient
shall promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest. The
indemnification obligations of the Servicer set forth in this Section 7.2 shall
survive the termination of such Servicer with respect to any act or failure to
act which occurs prior to such Servicer's termination. The provisions of Section
6.7 of the Indenture and Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the Trust Agreement with
respect to the Servicer's obligations are incorporated by reference herein.

                  SECTION 4.3 Merger or Consolidation of Servicer. Any
corporation or other entity (i) into which the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, (ii) which may result from any merger, conversion, or
consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or (iii) which may succeed
to all or substantially all of the business of the Servicer, which corporation
or other entity shall be bound to perform every obligation of the Servicer
hereunder, shall be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without
the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of
the parties to this Agreement. The Servicer shall promptly inform the Issuer,
the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller and the Rating Agencies in
writing of any such merger or consolidation.

                  SECTION 4.4 Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others.(G)
Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents
of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee or the Holders, except as provided under this Agreement,
for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to
this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, gross negligence, or bad faith in the
performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties under this Agreement. The Servicer and any director or officer or
employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on the advice of
counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

                  (a) The Servicer, and any director, or officer, employee or
agent of the Servicer, shall be indemnified by the Issuer and held harmless
against any loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses) incurred in connection with any legal action relating to the
performance of the Servicer's duties under this Agreement, other than (i) any
loss or liability otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement or the Basic
Documents; (ii) any loss, liability, or expense incurred solely by reason of the
Servicer's willful misfeasance, negligence, or bad faith in the performance of
its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and
duties under this Agreement or the Basic Documents; and (iii) any loss,
liability, or expense for which the Issuer is to be indemnified by the Servicer
under this Agreement or the Basic Documents. Any amounts due the Servicer
pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be payable on a Payment Date from amounts
distributable to the Class R Certificateholder from the Reserve Account pursuant
to Section 5.7(d).

                  (b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall
not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal action
that shall not be incidental to its obligations under this Agreement, and that
in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however,
that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary
or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Holders under this Agreement.
In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability
resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs, and liabilities of the Issuer, and
the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor. Any amounts due the
Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be payable on a Payment Date from
amounts distributable to the Class R Certificateholder from the Reserve Account
pursuant to Section 5.7(d) and from amounts distributable to the Class R
Certificateholder from the Yield Supplement Account pursuant to Section 5.6(d).

<PAGE>

                  The Person to be indemnified shall provide the Issuer, the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with a certificate and accompanying
Opinion of Counsel requesting indemnification and setting forth the basis for
such request.

                  SECTION 4.5 Servicer Not To Resign. Except as permitted by
Section 7.3, the Servicer shall not resign from its obligations and duties under
this Agreement except (i) upon determination that the performance of its duties
shall no longer be permissible under applicable law or (ii) in the event of the
appointment of a successor Servicer, upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of the
Servicer shall be communicated to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner
Trustee and the Rating Agencies at the earliest practicable time (and, if such
communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest
practicable time) and any such determination permitting the resignation of the
Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee concurrently with such
notice. No such resignation shall become effective until the Indenture Trustee
(which shall not be obligated to act as successor Servicer if the Servicer has
resigned for a reason other than that the performance of its duties are no
longer permissible under applicable law) or a successor Servicer shall have
assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer hereunder in
accordance with Section 8.2.

                  SECTION 4.6 Delegation of Duties. So long as Chase USA acts as
Servicer, the Servicer shall have the right, in the ordinary course of its
business, to delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any Person. The
Servicer shall pay any compensation payable to such Person from its own funds
and none of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Holders
shall have any liability to such Person with respect thereto. Notwithstanding
any delegation of duties by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.6, the
Servicer shall not be relieved of its liability and responsibility with respect
to such duties, and any such delegation shall not constitute a resignation
within the meaning of Section 7.5. Any agreement that may be entered into by the
Servicer and a Person that provides for any delegation of the Servicer's duties
hereunder to such Person shall be deemed to be between the Servicer and such
Person alone, and the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and
Holders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights,
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect thereto.

EVENTS OF SERVICING TERMINATION

                  SECTION 5.1 Events of Servicing Termination. Any one of the
following events which shall occur and be continuing shall constitute an event
of servicing termination hereunder (each, an "Event of Servicing Termination"):

                  (i) Any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture
         Trustee the Servicer's Certificate for the related Collection Period,

         deposit in any of the Trust Accounts or the Certificate Distribution
         Account, any proceeds or payment required to be so delivered under the
         terms of the Certificates or the Notes and this Agreement (or, in the
         case of a payment or deposit to be made not later than the Deposit
         Date, the failure to make such payment or deposit on such Deposit
         Date), which failure continues unremedied for a period of five Business
         Days after (A) discovery by an officer of the Servicer or (B) written
         notice (1) to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
         Trustee or (2) to the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as
         applicable, and the Servicer by the Holders of Notes evidencing not
         less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (or, if the Notes
         have been paid in full, by Holders of the Certificates evidencing not
         less than 25% of the Certificate Balance);

         perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of
         the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or the Indenture, which
         failure shall (a) materially and adversely affect the rights of the
         Issuer or the Holders, and (b) continue unremedied for a period of 60
         days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring
         the same to be remedied, shall have been given (1) to the Servicer by
         the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, or (2) to the Indenture
         Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, and the Servicer by the
         Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount
         of the Notes (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, by Holders of
         the Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Certificate
         Balance);

                  (iii) The entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or
         supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the
         appointment of a conservator, receiver, or liquidator for the Servicer
         in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
         liabilities, or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or
         liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or
         order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

                  (iv) The consent by the Servicer to the appointment of a
         conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
         of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities, or similar proceedings
         of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to substantially all
         of its property; or the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability
         to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
         advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make
         an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend
         payment of its obligations.

                                       49
<PAGE>

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Servicing Termination as described above,
and in each and every case and for so long as such Event of Servicing
Termination shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the
Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount
of the Notes (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 the Holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Certificate Balance), by
notice given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee or the
Owner Trustee, as applicable, if given by Holders) may terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. On or after the
receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates, the
Notes or the Receivables or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.1; and, without limitation, the
Indenture Trustee shall be hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the predecessor 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
Receivable Files, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with
the successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of
the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this
Agreement, including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration
by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor
Servicer for deposit, shall have been deposited by the predecessor Servicer in
the Collection Account, or shall thereafter be received with respect to a
Receivable. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files to
the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as
Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer
upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. The
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall give written notice of any
termination of the Servicer to their related Holders, and the Indenture Trustee
shall give such notice to the Rating Agencies. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor
any successor Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of
its failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any
portion thereof which was caused by (i) the failure of the predecessor Servicer
to deliver, or any delay in delivering cash, documents or records to it, or (ii)
restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the
predecessor Servicer.

                  SECTION 5.2 Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor
Servicer. Upon the Servicer's receipt of notice of termination pursuant to
Section 8.1 or resignation pursuant to Section 7.5, the Indenture Trustee shall
be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer
under this Agreement, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties
and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the Servicer by
the terms and provisions of this Agreement. As compensation therefor, the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of
the Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer would have been entitled to
under this Agreement if no such notice of termination or resignation had been
given. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling so 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 (x) having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 as of
the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter for such institution and (y)
whose regular business shall include the servicing of automobile receivables, as
successor Servicer under this Agreement; provided, that the appointment of any
such successor Servicer is required to satisfy the Rating Agency Condition. In
connection with such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor Servicer out of payments on
Receivables as it and such successor Servicer shall agree; provided, however,
that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer
under this Agreement. The Indenture Trustee and such successor Servicer shall
take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. Unless the Indenture Trustee shall be prohibited
by law from so acting, the Indenture Trustee shall not be relieved of its duties
as successor Servicer under this Section 8.2 until the newly appointed successor
Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer
under this Agreement.

                  SECTION 5.3 Notification to Noteholders and
Certificateholders. Upon any Event of Servicing Termination, or appointment of a
successor Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Owner Trustee shall give
prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and the Indenture Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders, at their respective
addresses of record, and to the Rating Agencies.

                  SECTION 5.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of Notes
evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (or, the
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Certificate
Balance, in the case of any Event of Servicing Termination that does not
adversely affect the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders) may, on behalf of all
such Holders, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its
obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in the failure to
make any required deposits to or payments from any of the Trust Accounts or the
Certificate Distribution Account in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any
such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of Servicing Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied
for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the
extent expressly so waived. The Servicer shall give prompt written notice of any
waiver to the Rating Agencies; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or
the Owner Trustee shall only be required to give such notice if a Responsible
Officer thereof has actual knowledge of the related event.

Termination.(H) As of the last day of any Collection Period as of which the Pool
Balance shall be equal to or less than the Optional Purchase Percentage of the
Original Pool Balance, the Servicer shall have the option to purchase the Owner
Trust Estate, other than the Trust Accounts and the Certificate Distribution
Account. To exercise such option, the Servicer shall notify the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Certificate Registrar in
writing, no later than the 25th day of the Collection Period following which
purchase is to be effected, shall pay the aggregate Repurchase Amount for the
Receivables (including Defaulted Receivables) and shall succeed to all interests
in, to and under such property. The payment shall be made in the manner
specified in Section 5.4, and shall be distributed pursuant to Section 5.5. The
Indenture Trustee shall not permit the purchase of the Owner Trust Estate
pursuant to this Section 9.1 unless (i) the Servicer's long-term unsecured debt
is rated at the time of such purchase at least "BBB-" by Standard & Poor's and
Fitch (if rated by Fitch) and Baa3 by Moody's or (ii) the Servicer provides to
the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory
to the Rating Agencies to the effect that such purchase will not constitute a
fraudulent transfer under applicable state and federal law.

                  (a) Upon any sale of the assets of the Issuer pursuant to
Article V of the Indenture, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee in
writing to deposit the proceeds from such sale after all payments and reserves
therefrom (including the expenses of such sale) have been made (the "Sale
Proceeds") in the Collection Account. On the Payment Date on which the Sale
Proceeds are deposited in the Collection Account (or, if such proceeds are not
so deposited on a Payment Date, on the Payment Date immediately following such
deposit), the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee in writing to make,
and the Indenture Trustee shall make, the following deposits and distributions
(after the application on such Payment Date of the Total Distribution Amount
pursuant to Section 5.5) from the Sale Proceeds and any funds remaining on
deposit in the Yield Supplement Account and the Reserve Account (including the
proceeds of any sale of investments therein):

                  (i) to the Note Distribution Account, any portion of the
         Noteholders' Interest Distributable Amount not otherwise deposited into
         the Note Distribution Account on such Payment Date;

                  (ii) to the Note Distribution Account, the Outstanding Amount
         of the Notes (after giving effect to the reduction in the Outstanding
         Amount of the Notes resulting from the deposits made in the Note
         Distribution Account on such Payment Date);

                  (iii) to the Certificate Distribution Account, any portion of
         the Certificateholders' Interest Distributable Amount not otherwise
         deposited into the Certificate Distribution Account on such Payment
         Date; and

                  (iv) to the Certificate Distribution Account, the Certificate
         Balance and any Certificateholders' Principal Carryover Shortfall
         (after giving effect to the reduction in the Certificate Balance
         resulting from the deposits made in the Certificate Distribution
         Account on such Payment Date).

                                       52

Any Sale Proceeds remaining after the deposits described above shall be paid to
the Class R Certificateholder.

                  (b) Notice of any termination of the Issuer shall be given by
the Servicer to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies
as soon as practicable after the Servicer has received notice thereof.

                  (c) After the payment to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner
Trustee, the Holders and the Servicer of all amounts required to be paid under
this Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, any amounts on deposit in
the Yield Supplement Account, the Reserve Account or the Collection Account
shall be paid to the Class R Certificateholder, and any other assets remaining
in the Owner Trust Estate shall be distributed to the Class R Certificateholder.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                  (n) Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Seller,
the Servicer and the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, with the prior
consent of the Indenture Trustee and prior notice to the Rating Agencies but
without prior notice to or the consent of any of the Holders, (i) to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement which may
be inconsistent with any other provisions herein, to evidence a succession to
the Servicer or the Seller pursuant to this Agreement 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; provided,
however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate
and/or an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable and delivered to the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, adversely and materially affect the interests
of the Issuer or any of the Holders; provided, further, that the Servicer shall
deliver written notice of such changes to each Rating Agency prior to the
execution of any such amendment, or (ii) to effect a transfer or assignment in
compliance with Section 10.6 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no amendment modifying the provisions of Section 5.5 shall become effective
without satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.

Seller, the Servicer and the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, with the
consent of the Indenture Trustee, the Holders of Certificates evidencing at
least a majority of the Certificate Balance of the Certificates and the consent
of the Holders of Notes evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount

amendment or consent to each Certificateholder and the Indenture Trustee, who
shall promptly furnish a copy to each Noteholder and to the Rating Agencies.

                  It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Indenture
Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders pursuant to this Section 10.1
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 of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders or Noteholders shall be subject to such
reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee may
prescribe.

                  Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely

authorized or permitted by this Agreement. The Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such amendment which affects

under this Agreement.

                  Satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition is required prior
to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, other than an amendment

The 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. In
addition, the Seller hereby authorizes the Issuer at any time and from time to

as may be necessary or desirable to preserve, maintain, and protect the
interests of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables and the
proceeds thereof.

                  (b) Neither the Seller nor the Servicer shall change its name
in any manner that would, could, or might make any financing statement or
continuation statement filed by the Seller in accordance with paragraph (a)
above seriously misleading within the meaning of ss. 9-506 (or any comparable
section) of the Relevant UCC, unless it shall have given the Owner Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee at least 30 days prior written notice thereof.

and the Indenture Trustee at least 60 days prior written notice of any change in
the jurisdiction of its organization or the State designated as its location in
its Articles of Association if, as a result of such change in jurisdiction or
the State designated as its location in its Articles of Association, the
applicable provisions of the Relevant UCC would require the filing of any
amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any
new financing statement. The Servicer shall at all times maintain each office
from which it shall service Receivables or at which the Receivable Files are
located within the United States of America.

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

                  (e) The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems so that,
from and after the time of sale under this Agreement of the Receivables to the
Issuer, the Servicer's master computer records (including archives) that shall
refer to a Receivable indicate clearly, by numerical code or otherwise, that
such Receivable is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture
Trustee. Indication of the Issuer's and Indenture Trustee's interest in a
Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer's computer systems
when, and only when, the Receivable shall have been paid in full, repurchased or
assigned pursuant hereto.

                  (f) If at any time the Seller or the Servicer shall propose to
sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in a new

prospective purchaser, creditor, or other transferee computer tapes, records, or
print-outs (including any restored from archives) that, if they shall refer in
any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such
Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the
Indenture Trustee.

                  (g) The Servicer shall permit the Indenture Trustee and the
Owner Trustee and their respective agents upon reasonable notice at any time

the Receivables.

                  (h) Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, within five Business Days, a list of all
Receivables by account number and name of Obligor then held by the Issuer,

Owner Trust Estate.

                  FORM OF COLLECTION ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

<PAGE>

                   COLLECTION ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT, dated as of December 9,
2003 among CHASE MANHATTAN AUTO OWNER TRUST 2003-C, a Delaware statutory trust
(the "Issuer"), WELLS FARGO BANK MINNESOTA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national
banking association, not in its individual capacity but solely as indenture
trustee (the "Secured Party"), and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, a New York banking
corporation (the "Securities Intermediary"). Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in Section 1.1 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement between the Issuer and Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National
Association, dated as of December 9, 2003, as the same may be amended and
supplemented from time to time (the "Sale and Servicing Agreement"). All
references herein to the "UCC" shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect in the State of New York.

                   1. Establishment of Collection Account. The Securities
Intermediary hereby confirms that (a) the Securities Intermediary has
established the Collection Account, (b) the Collection Account is a "securities
account" as such term is defined in ss.8-501(a) of the UCC, (c) the Securities
Intermediary shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat the Issuer as
entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial asset credited to
the Collection Account, (d) all property delivered to the Securities
Intermediary pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement for deposit in the
Collection Account will be promptly credited to the Securities Account and (e)
all securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to the
Collection Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities
Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to
another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary
and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Collection Account be
registered in the name of the Issuer, payable to the order of the Issuer or
specially indorsed to the Issuer except to the extent the foregoing have been
specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.

                   2. Treatment as "Financial Assets". The Securities
Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of property (whether investment
property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to the
Collection Account shall be treated as a "financial asset" within the meaning of
ss.8-102(a)(9) of the UCC. The Securities Intermediary agrees that any interest,
cash dividends or other cash distributions received in respect of any Permitted
Investments and the net proceeds of any sale or payment of any Permitted
Investments shall be promptly credited to the Collection Account.

                   3. Control by Secured Party. At all times prior to the
termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 17, the Securities
Intermediary shall take instructions and directions and act upon "entitlement
orders" (within the meaning of ss.8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) issued by the Secured
Party without further consent by the Issuer. Except as otherwise provided in
this Section, the Securities Intermediary shall also comply with entitlement
orders originated by the Issuer or the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer without
further consent by the Secured Party. If the Secured Party notifies the
Securities Intermediary that the Secured Party will exercise exclusive control
over the Collection Account, the Securities Intermediary shall not comply with
entitlement orders or other directions issued by the Issuer or the Servicer on
behalf of the Issuer. Funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be
invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Issuer or the Servicer on
behalf of the Issuer or by the Secured Party to the extent provided in Section
8.3(a) and Section 8.3(c) of the Indenture. At all times prior to the
termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 17, no property shall be
released from the Collection Account except upon the written instructions of the
Secured Party or the Paying Agent.
<PAGE>

                   4. Statements and Confirmations. The Securities Intermediary
will promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations and other
correspondence concerning the Collection Account and/or any financial assets
credited thereto simultaneously to each of the Servicer and the Secured Party at
the address set forth in Section 12.

                   5. Tax Allocations. All items of income, gain, expense and
loss recognized in the Collection Account shall be reported to the Internal
Revenue Service and all state and local taxing authorities under the name and
taxpayer identification number of the Issuer.

                   6. Securities Intermediary's Jurisdiction. This Agreement,
the Collection Account and the rights and obligations of the Securities
Intermediary, the Secured Party and the Issuer with respect thereto shall be
governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in
any other agreement, for purposes of the Relevant UCC, New York shall be deemed
to be the Securities Intermediary's jurisdiction and the Collection Account (as
well as the securities entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the
laws of the State of New York.

                   7. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event
that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement,
operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Collection Account or
any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby
agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest
of the Secured Party. The financial assets and other items deposited to the
Collection Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker's lien, or
any other right in favor of any Person other than the Secured Party.

                   8. Notice of Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and
interest of the Secured Party and of the Issuer in the Collection Account, the
Securities Intermediary does not know of any claim to, or interest in, the
Collection Account or in any "financial asset" (as defined in ss.8-102(a)(9) of
the UCC) credited thereto. If any Person asserts any lien, encumbrance or
adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment,
execution or similar process) against the Collection Account or in any financial
asset credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the
Secured Party and the Issuer thereof.

                   9. Amendments. No amendment or modification of this Agreement
or waiver of any right hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it
is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto.

          set forth in Section 1 above and the Collection Account will be
          maintained in the manner set forth herein until termination of this
          Agreement. The Securities Intermediary shall not change the name or
          account number of the Collection Account without the prior written
          consent of the Secured Party.

                            (B) No financial asset is or will be registered in
          the name of the Issuer, payable to its order, or specially endorsed to
          it, except to the extent such financial asset has been endorsed to the
          Securities Intermediary or in blank.

                            (C) This Agreement is the valid and legally binding
          obligation of the Securities Intermediary.

                            (D) The Securities Intermediary has not entered
          into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into,
          any agreement with any other person relating to any of the Collection

          it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in
          ss.8-102(a) (8) of the UCC) of such person. The Securities
          Intermediary has not entered into any other agreement with the Issuer
          or the Secured Party purporting to limit or condition the obligation
          of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as
          set forth in Section 3.

                            (E) The Securities Intermediary is a "securities
          intermediary" (as defined in ss.8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) and is acting
          in such capacity with respect to the Collection Account.

Issuer as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial asset
credited to the Yield Supplement Account, (d) all property delivered to the
Securities Intermediary pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement for deposit
in the Yield Supplement Account will be promptly credited to the Securities
Account and (e) all securities or other property underlying any financial assets
credited to the Yield Supplement Account shall be registered in the name of the
Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or
credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities
Intermediary and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Yield
Supplement Account be registered in the name of the Issuer, payable to the order
of the Issuer or specially indorsed to the Issuer except to the extent the
foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in
blank.

                  2. Treatment as "Financial Assets". The Securities
Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of property (whether investment
property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to the Yield
Supplement Account shall be treated as a "financial asset" within the meaning of
ss.8-102(a)(9) of the UCC. The Securities Intermediary agrees that any interest,

orders" (within the meaning of ss.8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) issued by the Secured
Party without further consent by the Issuer. Except as otherwise provided in
this Section, the Securities Intermediary shall also comply with entitlement
orders originated by the Issuer or the Class R Certificateholder without further
consent by the Secured Party. If the Secured Party notifies the Securities
Intermediary that the Secured Party will exercise exclusive control over the
Yield Supplement Account, the Securities Intermediary shall not comply with
entitlement orders or other directions issued by the Issuer or the Class R
Certificateholder. Funds on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account shall be
invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Issuer or the Class R
Certificateholder or by the Secured Party to the extent provided in Section

Internal Revenue Service and all state and local taxing authorities under the
name and taxpayer identification number of the Issuer.

                  6. Securities Intermediary's Jurisdiction. This Agreement, the
Yield Supplement Account and the rights and obligations of the Securities
Intermediary, the Secured Party and the Issuer with respect thereto shall be
governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in

of law or otherwise a security interest in the Yield Supplement Account or any
security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees

any other right in favor of any Person other than the Secured Party.

                  8. Notice of Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and
interest of the Secured Party and of the Issuer in the Yield Supplement Account,

encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant
of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Yield Supplement
