                             CONVEYANCE OF CONTRACTS

         Section 2.01. Conveyance of Contracts.

         (a)      In consideration of the Issuer's delivery to or upon the order
of the Seller of the Certificates and $1,650,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of Notes, the Seller hereby grants, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to
the Issuer, without recourse (subject to the obligations herein), and hereby
grants a security interest in, all of its right, title and interest (exclusive
of the amount, if any, allocable to any rebatable insurance premium financed by
any Contract) in, to and under the Contracts (which Contracts shall be listed in
the Schedule of Contracts), including, without limitation, all payments of
Monthly P&I received after the Cut-Off Date; all Net Liquidation Proceeds and
Net Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Financed Vehicle to which a Contract
relates received after the Cut-Off Date and all other proceeds received on or in
respect of such Contracts (other than payments of Monthly P&I received on or
prior to the Cut-Off Date) and any and all security interests in the Financed
Vehicles; the Contract Documents relating to the Contracts; and all proceeds in
any way delivered with respect to the foregoing, all rights to payments with
respect to the foregoing and all rights to enforce the foregoing.

         (b)      WFS hereby authorizes and will cause the filing of UCC-1
financing statements naming WFS as debtor and the Seller as secured party and
describing the Contracts as collateral with the office of the Secretary of State
of the State of California. The Seller hereby authorizes and will cause on or
prior to the Closing Date the filing of UCC-1 financing statements, naming the
Seller as debtor and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Insurer, as secured
party and describing the Contracts as collateral, with the Office of the
Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The grant of a security interest to
the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Insurer and the rights of the Collateral
Agent and the Insurer in respect of such security interest shall be governed by
the Insurance Agreement. The Seller hereby authorizes, and will cause on or
prior to the Closing Date, the filing of UCC-1 financing statements, naming the
Seller as debtor and the Trust as secured party and describing the Contracts
being sold by it to the Trust as collateral, with the Office of the Secretary of
State of the State of Nevada. The Trust has caused the filing of UCC-1 financing
statements, naming the Trust as debtor and the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of
the Noteholders, as secured party and describing the Contracts as collateral,
with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The grant of
a security interest to the Indenture Trustee and the rights of the Indenture
Trustee in the Contracts shall be governed by the Indenture. From time to time,
the Master Servicer shall cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to
continue the perfection of the respective interests of the Indenture Trustee,
the Trust and the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Insurer in the Contracts and
to continue the first priority security interest of the Indenture Trustee
(subject to the security interest of the Insurer pursuant to the Insurance
Agreement) in the Financed Vehicles and their proceeds (other than, as to such
priority, any statutory lien arising by operation of law after the Closing Date
which is prior to such interest), including, without limitation, the filing of
financing statements, amendments thereto or continuation statements and the
making of notations on records or documents of title.

                                       24

<PAGE>

         If any change in the name, identity or corporate structure of the
Seller or WFS or the relocation of the chief executive office of any of them or
their reincorporation in a different jurisdiction would make any financing or
continuation statement or notice of lien filed under this Agreement or the other
Basic Documents seriously misleading within the meaning of applicable provisions
of the UCC or any title statute, the Master Servicer, within the time period
required by applicable law, shall file such financing statements or amendments
as may be required to preserve and protect the interests of the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Securityholders and the Insurer in the
Contracts, Financed Vehicles and the proceeds thereof. Promptly thereafter, the
Master Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and
the Insurer an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel,
all financing statements or amendments necessary fully to preserve and protect
the interests of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, Securityholders and
the Insurer in the Contracts, Financed Vehicles and the proceeds thereof have
been filed, and reciting the details of such filings.

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

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

         Section 2.02. Added Contracts. If the Contracts set forth on the
preliminary schedule of contracts delivered to the Insurer on August 24, 2003
have an aggregate Principal Balance as of the close of business on the Cut-Off
Date of less than $1,645,000,000, the following procedures shall be applicable:
With respect to any Contract sold to the Trust that was originated by WFS during
the period from and including August 25, 2003 to and including August 27, 2003
(each such Contract, an "Added Contract" and collectively, the "Added
Contracts"), the Insurer shall have right to review each Added Contract for up
to 30 days following the Closing Date and if the Insurer determines in its sole
and absolute discretion that an Added Contract is not satisfactory in any
respect, the Insurer shall notify the Seller, within 40 days of the Closing
Date, that such Added Contract is not satisfactory to the Insurer and the Seller
shall purchase such Added Contract on the next Master Servicer Report Date from
the Trust for an amount equal to the related Repurchase Amount. The obligation
to repurchase an Added Contract is independent of the Seller's duties pursuant
to Section 3.02 and is not limited to those failures to comply with the
requirements of Section 3.01(b) which materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Noteholders, Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the
Owner Trustee, the Issuer or the Insurer. The Seller or the Master Servicer, as
the case may be, shall remit or credit to the Collection Account the aggregate
Repurchase Amount with respect to the Added Contracts purchased on the
applicable Master Servicer Report Date. Upon any such purchase, the Owner
Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller title to
any Added Contract purchased hereunder.

                                  ARTICLE THREE

                                  THE CONTRACTS

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

         (a)      As to the Seller:

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

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

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

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

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

                                       26
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

                  (ii)     Security Interests. As of the Closing Date, the
         Seller has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest
         against the Obligors in the Financed Vehicles securing the Contracts
         and such Contract granted a valid and enforceable first priority
         security interest in favor of WFS (or to the Bank, a Dealer or a Third
         Party Lender, which security interest has been assigned to WFS) in the
         related Financed Vehicle, and such security interest has been duly
         perfected and is prior to all other liens upon and security interests
         in such Financed Vehicle which now exist or may hereafter arise or be
         created (except, as to priority, for any lien for unpaid taxes or
         unpaid storage or repair charges which may arise after the Closing
         Date). The Seller has caused the filing of all appropriate financing
         statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions
         under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the
         Contracts granted to the Issuer hereunder. All financing statements
         filed against the Seller in favor of the Issuer in connection herewith
         describing the Contracts contain a statement to the following effect:
         "A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this
         financing statement will violate the rights of the Issuer unless the
         Issuer authorizes it."

                  (iii)    Title Documents. (A) If the related Financed Vehicle
         was originated in a State in which notation of a security interest on
         the Title Document is required or

                                       27
<PAGE>

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

                  (iv)     Title to the Contracts. Immediately prior to the
         issuance of the Notes and the Certificates, the Seller had good and
         indefeasible title to and was the sole owner of each Contract to be
         transferred to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.01 free of liens,
         claims, encumbrances and rights of any Person and, upon transfer of
         such Contract to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.01, the Issuer will
         have good and indefeasible title to and will be the sole owner of such
         Contract free of liens, claims, encumbrances and rights of any Person,
         except for the Lien of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and
         the security interest granted to the Insurer under the Insurance
         Agreement.

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

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

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

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

                  (ix)     Compliance with Laws. Such Contract, and the sale of
         the Financed Vehicle sold thereunder, complied, at the time it was
         made, in all material respects with all applicable state and federal
         laws (and regulations thereunder), including without limitation usury,
         equal credit opportunity, fair credit reporting, truth-in-lending or
         other

                                       28
<PAGE>

         similar laws, the Federal Trade Commission Act, and applicable state
         laws regulating retail installment sales contracts and loans in general
         and motor vehicle retail installment contracts and loans in particular;
         and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated,
         including, without limitation, the transfer of ownership of the
         Contracts to the Issuer, and the pledge of the Contracts to the
         Indenture trustee by the Issuer, and the receipt of interest by the
         Securityholders, will not involve the violation of any applicable state
         or federal law.

                  (x)      Valid and Binding. Such Contract is the legal, valid
         and binding obligation of the Obligor thereunder and is enforceable in
         accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by
         bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
         creditors' rights generally; all parties to such Contract had full
         legal capacity to execute and deliver such Contract and all other
         documents related thereto and to grant the security interest purported
         to be granted thereby; and the terms of such Contract have not been
         waived or modified in any respect, except by instruments that are part
         of the Contract Documents.

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

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

                  (xiii)   Insurance. At the Closing Date, the related Financed
         Vehicle will be covered by (A) a comprehensive and collision insurance
         policy (1) in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (a) its actual
         cash value or (b) the principal amount due from the Obligor under the
         related Contract, (2) naming WFS as a loss payee and (3) insuring
         against loss and damage due to fire, theft, transportation, collision
         and other risks generally covered by comprehensive and collision
         coverage or (B) an LDI Policy; provided, however, that if such Financed
         Vehicle has an unpaid principal balance of less than $4,000.00 or the
         related Contract has six or fewer months remaining before its Maturity
         Date, it will not be required to be covered by the insurance described
         in this subparagraph; provided further, to the extent not paid in full
         by the Obligor, the related Advanced Insurance Premium shall be an
         expense of the Master Servicer. Each of the Seller, WFS and the Master
         Servicer shall at all times comply with all of the provisions of such
         insurance policies and the LDI Policy applicable to such Financed
         Vehicle.

                  (xiv)    Acquisition of Contract. Such Contract was either
         acquired by WFS (or its predecessor in interest) from a Dealer or a
         Third Party Lender with which it ordinarily

                                       29
<PAGE>

         does business or the Bank or originated directly by WFS in the ordinary
         course of its business, and no adverse selection procedures have been
         utilized in selecting such Contract from all other similar contracts
         purchased by the Seller.

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

                  (xvi)    One Original. There is only one original of such
         Contract and such original, together with all other Contract Documents,
         is being held by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.04. The
         Seller has received a written acknowledgement from the Master Servicer
         that the Master Servicer is holding the Contract Documents that
         constitute or evidence the Contracts solely on behalf and for the
         benefit of the Issuer. None of the Contract Documents that constitute
         or evidence each Contract has any marks or notations indicating that it
         has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other
         than the Issuer. Each original Contract has been segregated and marked
         to show the Issuer as owner thereof, unless the Insurer has waived the
         requirement for such segregation and marking by notice in writing to
         the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer.

                  (xvii)   Characteristics. With respect to each Contract owned
         by WFS at the Statistical Calculation Date, such Contract had (A) an
         Principal Balance of not less than $597.67 nor more than $137,612.49,
         (B) an original term of not less than 11 months nor greater than 84
         months, (C) a remaining maturity of not less than three months nor
         greater than 84 months and (D) an APR of not less than 2.90%.

                  (xviii)  Identification. The Master Servicer and WFS have
         clearly marked their electronic records to indicate that such Contract
         is owned by the Issuer.

                  (xix)    Maturity. As of the Closing Date such Contract did
         not have a Maturity Date later than the 90th day prior to the end of
         the Due Period immediately preceding the Class A-4 Final Scheduled
         Principal Distribution Date.

                  (xx)     Principal Balance. At the Closing Date the initial
         Principal Balance of such Contract was not greater than the purchase
         price of the related vehicle and such Principal Balance does not
         include any amounts the Master Servicer may have expended in obtaining
         an LDI Policy, if any, for such Contract.

                  (xxi)    Location of Contract Files. The Contract Files are
         kept at one or more of the locations listed in Schedule B.

                  (xxii)   Finance Charge. With respect to each Contract, such
         Contract provides for the payment of a finance charge calculated at its
         APR based on the Rule of 78's or the

                                       30
<PAGE>

         simple interest method and such APR shall be equal to or greater than
         2.90%. for Rule of 78's Contracts and Simple Interest Contracts.

                  (xxiii)  WFS, Bank and Third Party Lender Originations. With
         respect to the Contracts owned by WFS at the Statistical Calculation
         Date, the aggregate Principal Balance as of the Statistical Calculation
         Date of such Contracts purchased by WFS from the Bank and Third Party
         Lenders or originated directly by WFS is not more than approximately
         2.53% of the Statistical Calculation Date Principal Balance.

                  (xxiv)   Simple Interest Contracts. With respect to the
         Contracts owned by WFS at the Statistical Calculation Date, as of the
         Statistical Calculation Date, approximately 98.68% of the Contracts by
         Statistical Calculation Date Principal Balance shall be Simple Interest
         Contracts and approximately 1.32% of the Contracts by Statistical
         Calculation Date Principal Balance shall be Rule of 78's Contracts.

                  (xxv)    New or Pre-Owned Vehicles. At least 33.48% of the
         Contracts owned by WFS at the Statistical Calculation Date by
         Statistical Calculation Date Principal Balance were Contracts that
         financed new vehicles and not greater than 66.52% were Contracts that
         financed pre-owned vehicles.

                  (xxvi)   States of Origination. Approximately 37.61% of the
         Contracts owned by WFS at the Statistical Calculation Date by
         Statistical Calculation Date Principal Balance were originated or
         purchased by WFS or the Bank in California and approximately 62.39% of
         the Contracts by Statistical Calculation Date Principal Balance were
         originated in states other than California.

                  (xxvii)  No Government Entity Obligors. Each Contract shall
         have an Obligor that is not a local, state or federal governmental
         entity.

                  (xxviii) Chattel Paper. Each Contract (A) constitutes
         "tangible chattel paper" as defined in the applicable UCC and (B) shall
         be maintained in its original "tangible" form, unless the Insurer has
         consented in writing to such chattel paper being maintained in another
         form or medium.

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

                                       31

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

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

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

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

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

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

         Section 3.03. Custody of Contract Files.

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

                  (i)      the original of the Contract;

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

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

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

         (b)      The Master Servicer shall maintain the Contract Documents held
by it (by itself or through one or more Subservicers) in a file area physically
separate from the other installment sales contracts and installment loans owned
or serviced by it or any of its Affiliates, which area shall be clearly marked
to indicate the Issuer as the owner of, and the security interest of the
Indenture Trustee and the Insurer in, the Contract Documents and shall mark the
Contracts in the same manner; except that if the Indenture Trustee and the
Insurer have waived the requirement for such segregation and marking by notice
in writing to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer,
such file area may contain contract documents for other motor vehicle retail
installment sales contracts and installment loans owned or serviced by the
Master Servicer.

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

         Section 3.04. Duties of Master Servicer as Custodian.

         (a)      Safekeeping. The Master Servicer shall hold the Contract Files
on behalf of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer for the
use and benefit of all present and future Securityholders, and maintain such
accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each
Contract File as shall enable the Issuer to comply with this Agreement. In
performing its duties as custodian the Master Servicer shall act with reasonable
care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Master Servicer
exercises with respect to the files relating to all comparable automobile
contracts that the Master Servicer owns or services for itself or others. The
Master Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic physical

                                       33

<PAGE>

inspections of the Contract Files held by it under this Agreement and of the
related accounts, records and computer systems, and shall maintain them in such
a manner as shall enable the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the
Insurer to verify the accuracy of the Master Servicer's record keeping. The
Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee and the Insurer any failure on its part to hold the Contract Files and
maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and shall
promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.

         (b)      Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Master Servicer
shall maintain each Contract File at one of its offices specified in Schedule B
or at such other location as shall be specified to the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee and the Insurer by 30 days' prior written notice. The Master
Servicer shall permit the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer
or their respective duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors to
inspect the Contract Files and the related accounts, records and computer
systems maintained by the Master Servicer at such times as such Persons may
request.

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

         (d)      Monthly Reports. On the twentieth calendar day or, if such day
is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, of each month, other
than a month in which a Distribution Date occurs, commencing with the month next
succeeding the month of the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall mail to the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, by first class mail, a certificate of a
Servicing Officer stating (i) the Contract Number and outstanding principal
balance of each Contract that has become a Liquidated Contract since the
Business Day next preceding the date of the last certificate delivered pursuant
to this subsection (or since the Closing Date in the case of the first such
certificate); (ii) that all proceeds received in respect of such Contract have
been deposited in or credited to the Collection Account as required by Section
5.02; (iii) that, if such Contract has been the subject of a Prepayment pursuant
to clause (i) of the definition of the term "Prepayment" or is a Liquidated
Contract pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition of the term "Liquidated
Contract," all proceeds received in respect thereof have been deposited in or
credited to the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.02; (iv) that,
if such Contract has been the subject of a Prepayment pursuant to clause (ii) of
the definition of the term "Prepayment," the correct Repurchase Amount has been
deposited in or credited to the Collection Account in accordance with Section
4.07 or 5.04; (v) that, if such Contract is a Liquidated Contract pursuant to
clause (ii) of the definition of the term "Liquidated Contract," there have been
deposited in or credited to the Collection Account the related Net Liquidation
Proceeds in accordance with Section 5.02; (vi) the current Aggregate Principal
Balance; (vii) Gross Charge-Off Amount for the most recent Due Period; (viii)
the total dollar amount of Delinquent Contracts; (ix) the total dollar amount of
all Contracts in respect of which the related Financed Vehicles have been
repossessed but have not been liquidated; (x) the Net Charge-Off Percentage for
the most recent Calculation Day; and (xi) the current Delinquency Percentage.
The information called for in clauses (vi) through (xi) above shall be

                                       34
<PAGE>

presented as of the Calculation Day in the month preceding the month in which
such information is required to be delivered

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

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

         Section 3.06. Indemnification. Subject to Section 8.02, the Master
Servicer shall indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee,
the Insurer and the Securityholders for any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever
(including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Insurer, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders as the result of
any improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody
by the Master Servicer of the Contract Files, or the failure of the Master
Servicer to perform its duties and service the Contracts in compliance with the
terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not
be liable to the Owner Trustee for any portion of any such amount resulting from
the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Owner Trustee and the
Master Servicer shall not be liable to the Indenture Trustee for any portion of
any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
of the Indenture Trustee. The Master Servicer shall also indemnify and hold
harmless the Issuer, the Trust Estate and the Securityholders against any taxes
that may be asserted at any time against any of them with respect to the
Contracts, including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, personal
property, privilege or license taxes (but exclusive of federal or other income
taxes arising out of payments on the Contracts) and the costs and expenses in
defending against such taxes. The Master Servicer shall immediately notify the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee if a claim is made by a third party with
respect to the Contracts, shall assume, with the consent of the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee, the defense of any such claim, pay all expenses in
connection therewith, including counsel fees, and shall promptly pay, discharge
and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the
Issuer.

         Section 3.07. Effective Period and Termination. The Master Servicer's
appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Cut-Off Date and shall
continue in full force and effect until terminated under this Section, upon the
termination of the Issuer or the repurchase of all of the Contracts by the
Seller, whichever is first to occur. If the Master Servicer shall resign in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or if all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer shall have been terminated pursuant to
Section 8.01, the appointment of the Master Servicer as custodian shall be
terminated by the Indenture Trustee, by the Holders of

                                       35
<PAGE>

Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes, voting together as a single class, by the Owner Trustee, by
Certificateholders evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate
Certificate Percentage Interest, or by the Insurer, in the same manner as the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Insurer or such Holders may terminate
the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01. As
soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Master
Servicer shall, at its own expense, deliver the Contract Files to the Owner
Trustee or its agent or as designated by the Owner Trustee at such place or
places as the Owner Trustee may reasonably designate and shall cooperate in good
faith to effect such delivery.

         Section 3.08. Nonpetition Covenant.

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

         (b)      The Master Servicer shall not, nor cause the Seller to,
petition or otherwise invoke the process of any court or government authority
for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Seller under any
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official
of the Seller or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding
up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller.

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

                                  ARTICLE FOUR

                    ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF CONTRACTS

         Section 4.01. Duties of Master Servicer. The Master Servicer, acting
alone and/or through one or more Subservicers as provided in this Section,
shall, as agent for the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer,
manage, service, administer and make collections on the Contracts. The Master
Servicer agrees that its servicing of the Contracts shall be carried out in
accordance with customary and usual procedures of financial institutions which
service motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and installment loans
and, to the extent more exacting, the procedures used by the Master Servicer in
respect of such contracts serviced by it for its own account. In accordance with
the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, whenever an Obligor has become
delinquent or the Master Servicer believes an Obligor may become delinquent, in
order to preserve the ultimate collectability of amounts due on a Contract,
modify the payment schedule on any Contract by reducing the APR on such Contract
without the consent of the Insurer or any Rating Agency; provided, however, that
the new APR shall not be less than the sum of (i) the Class A-4 Rate and (ii)
the Servicing Fee Percent. In addition, in order to preserve the Trust Estate,
the Master Servicer may, without the consent of any Rating Agency or the
Insurer, reduce the principal amount of a Contract (i.e., write-down a portion
of the principal amount due on such Contract and, accordingly, lower the Monthly
P&I on such Contract) to the extent funds are available in the Spread Account to
cover such reduction; provided, however, the total amount of such modifications
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and this sentence and reductions
(i) may not affect more than 1% of the Original Pool Balance through the
Distribution Date nine months prior to the Class A-4 Final Scheduled
Distribution Date and (ii) during each three-month period between Distribution
Dates (or in the case of the first Distribution Date, from the Cut-Off Date to
such Distribution Date) shall not affect Contracts having an aggregate Principal
Balance greater than 0.1% of the Aggregate Principal Balance at the beginning of
such period. Any such modifications or reductions exceeding such limits may be
made only with the consent of the Insurer and each Rating Agency. The Master
Servicer may also extend the Maturity Date on a Contract in accordance with
Section 4.02. The Master Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting
of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Contracts,
investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax
information to Obligors, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and
annual statements to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer
with respect to distributions and filing applicable United States tax returns
for the Issuer on an annual basis, based on a tax year for the Issuer that is
the calendar year. The Master Servicer shall have, subject to the terms hereof,
full power and authority, acting alone, and subject only to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in
connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it
may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall commence repossession efforts in respect of any Financed Vehicle
respecting which the related Contract is four or more months delinquent. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the
Trust, the Insurer, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Contracts or to the
Financed Vehicles. The Owner

                                       37

<PAGE>

Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer all documents necessary or appropriate
to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative
duties hereunder.

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

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

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

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

         Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other
transactions or servicing arrangements relating to the Contracts involving a
Subservicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer in its capacity as such, and
not as an originator of Contracts, shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer
or such Affiliate, as the case may be, and the Master Servicer alone,

                                       38

<PAGE>

and none of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders nor the
Certificateholders shall be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer
except as set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph; provided that the
Insurer may rely upon the representations and warranties of the Subservicer
contained therein.

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

         The Master Servicer, each Subservicer, and any new servicer appointed
following the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, including any
Subservicers, shall at all times comply with all applicable federal, state and
local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances governing or relating to the
privacy rights of the Obligors in connection with its performance of its duties
under this Agreement including, without limitation, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
The Master Servicer, each Subservicer, and any new servicer appointed following
the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, including any
Subservicers, shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall
be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the "nonpublic
personal information" of each Obligor, (b) protect against any threats or
hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information and
(c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal
information.

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

                                       39

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

         The Master Servicer shall retain all data (including, without
limitation, computerized records) relating directly to or maintained in
connection with the servicing of the Contracts at the address of the Master
Servicer set forth as Schedule B to this Agreement, at the office of any
Subservicer or, upon 15 days' notice to the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Owner Trustee, at such other place where the servicing offices of the Master
Servicer are located, and shall give the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee
and the Insurer access to all data at all reasonable times. While a Servicer
Default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer shall, on demand of the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Insurer, deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Insurer, as the
case may be, all data (including, without limitation, computerized records and,
to the extent transferable, related operating soft-

                                       40

<PAGE>

ware) necessary for the servicing of the Contracts and all monies collected by
it and required to be deposited in or credited to the Collection Account.

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

         Section 4.02. Collection of Contract Payments. The Master Servicer
shall use its best efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms
and provisions of the Contracts as and when the same shall become due and shall
use its best efforts to cause each Obligor to make all payments in respect of
his or her Contract to the Master Servicer. Consistent with the foregoing, the
Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charges in
connection with delinquent payments on a Contract or prepayment charges and (ii)
in order to work out a default or an impending default due to the financial
condition of the Obligor, modify the payment schedule of a Delinquent Contract
(subject to the next sentence) or extend the Maturity Date of a Delinquent
Contract by up to 90 days in the aggregate past the originally scheduled date of
the last payment on such Contract; provided, however, the Master Servicer shall
not defer payments more than three times over the life of such Contract;
provided, further, that in the case of any extension granted pursuant to clause
(ii) the Master Servicer makes an Advance in respect of such extension and in no
event can the last payment on such Contract be extended beyond the last day of
the Due Period ending immediately prior to the Class A-4 Final Scheduled
Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall not extend the Maturity Date of a
Contract except as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence and shall
not modify any Contracts except in accordance with the criteria and limitations
specified in Section 4.01.

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

                                       41

<PAGE>

Liquidated Contract to any party not affiliated with the Master Servicer free
and clear of the rights of the Issuer. The Master Servicer shall be responsible
for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with any action
taken in respect of a Defaulted Contract; provided, however, that it shall be
entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses to the extent they are paid
by an Obligor. All Net Liquidation Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds and proceeds
of the sale of Contracts hereunder shall be deposited directly in or credited to
the Collection Account (without deposit in any intervening account) to the
extent required by Section 5.02.

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

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

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

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

                  (i)      Lien in Force. The Financed Vehicle securing each
         Contract shall not be released from the lien granted by the Contract in
         whole or in part, except as contemplated herein.

                  (ii)     Impairment. The Master Servicer shall not impair the
         rights of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders in the Contracts.

                                       42

<PAGE>

                  (iii)    Amendments. The Master Servicer shall not amend the
         terms of any Contract, except that extensions or modifications may be
         granted in accordance with Section 4.02.

                  (iv)     Transfers. The Master Servicer may consent to the
         sale or transfer by an Obligor of any Financed Vehicle only if the
         original Obligor under the related Contract remains liable under such
         Contract and the transferee assumes all of the Obligor's obligations
         thereunder.

                  (v)      Security Interest. The Master Servicer shall maintain
         the perfection and priority of the Issuer's and the Indenture Trustee's
         security interests in the Contracts.

         (b)      The Master Servicer represents, warrants and covenants:

                  (i)      Organization and Good Standing. The Master Servicer
         (A) has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in
         good standing under the laws of the State of California, (B) has
         qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good
         standing in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties or
         the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary and (C)
         has full power, authority and legal right to own its property, to carry
         on its business as presently conducted and to enter into and perform
         its obligations under this Agreement.

                  (ii)     Power and Authority. The execution and delivery by
         the Master Servicer of this Agreement are within the corporate power of
         the Master Servicer and have been duly authorized by all necessary
         corporate action on the part of the Master Servicer. Neither the
         execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the
         transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions
         hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a
         default under, any of the provisions of any law, governmental rule,
         regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the Master Servicer or
         its properties or the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Master
         Servicer, or any of the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, contract
         or other instrument to which the Master Servicer is a party or by which
         it is bound or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge
         or encumbrance upon any of its property pursuant to the terms of any
         such indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument.

                  (iii)    Governmental Consents. The Master Servicer is not
         required to obtain the consent of any other party or consent, license,
         approval or authorization, or registration or declaration with, any
         governmental authority, bureau or agency in connection with the
         execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this
         Agreement, except (in each case) such as have been obtained and are in
         full force and effect.

                  (iv)     Binding Obligation. This Agreement has been duly
         executed and delivered by the Master Servicer and, assuming the due
         authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Owner Trustee and
         the Indenture Trustee, constitutes a legal, valid and binding
         instrument enforceable against the Master Servicer in accordance with
         its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws and
         other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
         generally).

                                       43

<PAGE>

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

                  (vi)     Other Consents. The Master Servicer has obtained or
         made all necessary consents, approvals, waivers and notifications of
         creditors, lessors and other nongovernmental persons, in each case in
         connection with the execution and delivery of, and the consummation of
         the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement.

         (c)      Westcorp represents, warrants and covenants:

                  (i)      Organization and Good Standing. Westcorp (A) has been
         duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good

         authority and legal right to own its property, to carry on its business
         as presently conducted and to enter into and perform its obligations

                  (ii)     Power and Authority. The execution and delivery by
         Westcorp of this Agreement are within the corporate power of Westcorp
         and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
         part of Westcorp. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
         nor the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor
         compliance with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in
         a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of
         any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order
         binding on Westcorp or its properties or the articles of incorporation
         or bylaws of Westcorp, or any of the provisions of any indenture,
         mortgage, contract or other instrument to which Westcorp is a party or
         by which it is bound or result in the creation or imposition of any
         lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of its property pursuant to the
         terms of any such indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument.

                  (iii)    Governmental Consents. Westcorp is not required to
         obtain the consent of any other party or consent, license, approval or
         authorization, or registration or declaration with, any governmental

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

                  (iv)     Binding Obligation. This Agreement has been duly
         executed and delivered by Westcorp and, assuming the due authorization,

                                       44

<PAGE>

         thereof by the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, constitutes a
         legal, valid and binding instrument enforceable against Westcorp in
         accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy and
         insolvency laws and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
         creditors' rights generally).

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

                  (vi)     Other Consents. Westcorp has obtained or made all
         necessary consents, approvals, waivers and notifications of creditors,
         lessors and other nongovernmental persons, in each case in connection
         with the execution and delivery of, and the consummation of the
         transactions contemplated by, this Agreement.

         Section 4.07. Repurchase of Contracts upon Breach of Covenant. The
Master Servicer or the Owner Trustee shall inform the other party and the
Indenture Trustee and the Insurer promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of
any breach pursuant to Section 4.02, 4.05 or 4.06. Unless the breach shall have
been cured within 30 days following such discovery, the Master Servicer shall
purchase any Contract materially and adversely affected by such breach. In
consideration of the purchase of such Contract, the Master Servicer shall remit
the Repurchase Amount in the manner specified in Section 5.04. The sole remedy
of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders
or the Noteholders with respect to a breach pursuant to Section 4.02, 4.05 or
4.06 shall be to require the Master Servicer to purchase Contracts pursuant to
this Section; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall indemnify the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, the Issuer and the
Securityholders against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and
liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be
asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of third-party claims
arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such breach. The Owner Trustee
shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence
of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Contract pursuant to this
Section.

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

entitled to reimbursement of such expenses except to the extent provided in this

shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, each Rating Agency,
the Swap Counterparty and the Insurer, on or before 90 days after the end of

against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
legal fees and related costs, judgments and any reasonable other costs, fees and
expenses that the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders or the
Certificateholders may sustain because of the failure of the Master Servicer to
perform its duties and service the Contracts in compliance with the terms of
this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee if a claim is made by a third party with respect
to the Contracts, assume, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee and the
Owner Trustee, the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection

          DISTRIBUTIONS; SPREAD ACCOUNT; STATEMENTS TO SECURITYHOLDERS

         Section 5.01. Establishment of Trust Accounts.

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

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

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

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

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

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

         (b)      All funds in the Collection Account, the Spread Account, the
Note Distribution Account and the Certificate Distribution Account shall be
invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments. Unless and until the
RIC is no longer an Eligible Investment, all funds in such Trust Accounts, in
each case that are available for investment in Eligible Investments, shall be
invested in the RIC. If the RIC is no longer an Eligible Investment then,
subject to the limitations set forth herein, the Master Servicer shall direct
the Indenture Trustee in writing to invest funds in the foregoing Trust Accounts
in Eligible Investments other than the RIC; provided that in the absence of such
directions from the Master Servicer, the Insurer may so direct the Indenture
Trustee. All such investments shall be in the name of the Indenture Trustee for
the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, as applicable. All
income or other gain from investment of monies deposited in or credited to the
Collection Account (including without limitation the RIC Reinvestment Earnings)
shall be deposited in or credited to the Collection Account immediately upon
receipt, and any loss resulting from such investment shall

                                       51

<PAGE>

be charged to the Collection Account. All income or other gain from investment
of monies deposited in or credited to the Spread Account (including without
limitation the RIC Reinvestment Earnings) shall be deposited in or credited to
the Spread Account immediately upon receipt, and any loss resulting from such
investment shall be charged to the Spread Account. All income or other gain from
investment of monies deposited in or credited to the Note Distribution Account
(including without limitation the RIC Reinvestment Earnings) shall be deposited
in or credited to the Note Distribution Account immediately upon receipt, and
any loss resulting from such investment shall be charged to the Note
Distribution Account. All income or other gain from investment of monies
deposited in or credited to the Certificate Distribution Account (including
without limitation the RIC Reinvestment Earnings) shall be deposited in or
credited to the Certificate Distribution Account immediately upon receipt, and
any loss resulting from such investment shall be charged to the Certificate
Distribution Account. The maximum permissible maturities of any investments of
funds in the Collection Account, the Spread Account, the Note Distribution
Account and the Certificate Distribution Account on any date shall not be later
than one Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date next
succeeding the date of such investment; provided, however, that such funds may
be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments (other than the
RIC) that mature on the Business Day before the Distribution Date, or, in the
case of Commercial Paper or Proprietary Funds, that mature on the Distribution
Date for a period not to exceed one Business Day. No investment in Eligible
Investments may be sold prior to its maturity and all investments in Proprietary
Funds shall be for a period not to exceed one Business Day.

         (c)

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

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

                           (A)      any Trust Account Property that is held in
                  deposit accounts shall be held solely in the Eligible
                  Accounts, subject to the last sentence of Section 5.01(c)(i);
                  and each such Eligible Account shall be subject to the
                  exclusive custody and continuous control of the Indenture
                  Trustee within the

                                       52

                  Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature authority with
                  respect thereto;

                           (B)      any Trust Account Property that constitutes
                  Physical Property shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee
                  in accordance with paragraph (i) of the definition of the term
                  "Delivery" and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition,
                  solely by the Indenture Trustee or a Financial Intermediary
                  acting solely for the Indenture Trustee;

                           (C)      any Trust Account Property that is a
                  book-entry security held through the Federal Reserve System
                  pursuant to federal book-entry regulations shall be delivered
                  in accordance with paragraph (ii) of the definition of the
                  term "Delivery" and shall be maintained by the Indenture
                  Trustee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued
                  book-entry registration of such Trust Account Property as
                  described in such paragraph; and

                           (D)      any Trust Account Property that is an
                  "uncertificated security" under Article Eight of the UCC and
                  that is not governed by clause (C) above shall be delivered to
                  the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (iii) of
                  the definition of the term "Delivery" and shall be maintained
                  by the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition,
                  through continued registration of the Indenture Trustee's (or
                  its nominee's) ownership of such security.

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

with a copy to the Master Servicer, by hand delivery, telex or facsimile
transmission, a claim for the related Note Policy Claim Amount, as the case may
be. In making any such claim, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee shall
comply with all the terms and conditions of the related Policy. The notice of
such claim shall direct the Insurer to remit such Note Policy Claim Amount to
the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Note Distribution
Account.

         (d)      So long as the Master Servicer is WFS, the Master Servicer
shall have the right, on a basis not more frequently than once per month
(although deposits shall be made into the Collection Account within two Business
Days pursuant to Section 4.01), to deduct from amounts received that are
otherwise required to be deposited in or credited to the Collection Account and,
to the extent such amounts are insufficient, to require that the Indenture
Trustee withdraw and deliver to it from the Collection Account, amounts due to
be paid hereunder to the Master Servicer or to the Seller after giving effect to
application of the payment priorities specified in this Article for the month
(or other applicable period), and to pay such amounts to itself as Master
Servicer or to the Seller, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Master Servicer shall maintain the records and accounts for such deposits
and credits on a gross basis.

         (e)      With respect to each Due Period and the related Distribution

interest due on the Contract; (c) interest due on any Advanced Insurance
Premium; (d) principal due on the Contract; (e) principal due on any Advanced
Insurance Premium; (f) extension fees, if any; (g) late payment fees, if any;
and (h) administrative charges, if any. Any excess shall be applied to prepay
the principal balance of the Contract.

         Section 5.04. Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances; Repurchase Amounts.

         (a)      If, as of the end of any Due Period, one or more payments of
Monthly P&I due under any Contract (other than a Liquidated Contract)
Outstanding at the end of such Due Period shall not have been received by the
Master Servicer and deposited in or credited to the Collection Account pursuant
to Section 5.02(a), the Master Servicer shall make, concurrently with the
furnishing of the related Distribution Date Statement to the Indenture Trustee
and the Owner Trustee, the Advance for such Due Period by depositing in or
crediting to the Collection

                                       54

Balance of such Contract at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the Class A-4 Rate
and (ii) the Servicing Fee Percent for each month that the related Monthly P&I
is delinquent at the end of such Due Period. The Master Servicer shall account
for such deposit or credit in accordance with Section 4.01. The foregoing
notwithstanding, the Master Servicer shall not make an Advance in respect of a
Contract if the Master Servicer shall have determined that any such Advance, if
made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such determination shall be
evidenced by an Officers' Certificate furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the
Owner Trustee and the Insurer setting forth the basis for such determination.

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

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

         (d)      The Master Servicer and the Seller shall deposit or caused to

         proportion to their respective Outstanding Amounts, until the

         Notes has been reduced to zero; and fourth to the Holders of the Class
         A-4 Notes until the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-4 Notes has been
         reduced to zero;

         (a)      On or prior to the Closing Date, WFSRC2 shall deposit the

                                   THE SELLER

         Section 6.01. Corporate Existence. During the term of this Agreement,
the Seller will keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in
each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to
protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the other Basic
Documents and each other instrument or agreement necessary or appropriate to the
proper administration of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby. In addition, all transactions and dealings between the Seller and its
Affiliates will be conducted on an arm's-length basis.

         Section 6.02. Liability of Seller; Indemnities. The Seller shall be
liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
undertaken by such Seller under this Agreement.

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

         The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders from and against
any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of such Seller's willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (other than errors in judgment) in the
performance of its duties under this Agreement, or by reason of reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

         The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee from and against all costs, expenses,
losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of or incurred in connection
with the acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties herein and, in the
case of the Owner Trustee, in the Trust Agreement and, in the case of the
Indenture Trustee, in the Indenture, except to the extent that such cost,
expense, loss, claim, damage or liability, in the case of (i) the Owner Trustee,
shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Owner
Trustee or shall arise from the breach by the Owner Trustee of any of its
representations or warranties set forth in Section 7.03 of the Trust Agreement,
or (ii) the Indenture Trustee, shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence of the Indenture Trustee.

         Indemnification under this Section shall include, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the
Seller shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the
Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are

                                       59

promptly repay such amounts to such Seller, without interest.

         Section 6.03. Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the
Obligations of, the Seller; Certain Limitations.

         (a)      The Seller shall not consolidate with nor merge into any other
corporation or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its assets as an
entirety to any Person unless the corporation formed by such consolidation or
into which such Seller has merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance,
transfer or lease substantially all the assets of the Seller as an entirety, can
lawfully perform the obligations of the Seller hereunder and executes and
delivers to the Insurer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, which contains an assumption by such
successor entity of the due and punctual performance and observance of each
covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Seller under this
Agreement. The Seller shall provide notice of any merger, consolidation or
succession pursuant to this Section to each Rating Agency and will deliver to
the Insurer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee a letter from each
Rating Agency to the effect that such merger, consolidation or succession will
not result in a qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of its then-current
ratings of each Class of Notes. The Seller, Westcorp and WFS each shall maintain
separate corporate offices.

         (b)

                  (i)      Subject to clause (b)(ii) below, the purpose of the

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

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

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

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

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

                  (ii)     without the affirmative vote of a majority of the

         (A) dissolve or liquidate, in whole or in part, or institute
         proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, (B) consent to the

         of the Seller to consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency
         proceedings against the Seller so long as it is solvent; or

                  (iii)    merge or consolidate with any other corporation,
         company or entity or sell all or substantially all of its assets or
         acquire all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock or

the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, for any
contractual damages, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Owner
Trustee's or the Indenture Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence (except for errors in judgment) in the performance of their
respective duties hereunder, or by reason of reckless disregard of their
respective obligations and duties hereunder. The Seller shall not be under any
obligation to

appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to
its obligations under this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in
any expense or liability. The indemnities contained in this Section shall
survive the resignation or termination of the Owner Trustee or the termination
of this Agreement.

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

         Section 6.06. Seller May Own Securities. The Seller and any Affiliate
thereof may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee
of Securities with the same rights as it would have if it were not such Seller
or an Affiliate thereof, except as expressly provided herein or in any Basic
Document. Securities so owned by or pledged to the Seller or an Affiliate
thereof shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of
this Agreement, without preference, priority or distinction as among all of the
Notes.

                        THE MASTER SERVICER AND WESTCORP

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

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

                  (b)      Westcorp shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
         the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer
         from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against the
         Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer with respect to the
         transactions contemplated herein, including, without limitation, any
         sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property,
         privilege or license taxes (but not including any taxes asserted with
         respect to, and as of the date of, the sale of the Contracts to the
         Issuer or the issuance and original sale of the Securities, or asserted
         with respect to ownership of the Contracts, or federal or other income
         taxes arising out of distributions on the Securities) and costs and
         expenses in defending against the same.

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

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

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

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

         Section 7.02. Corporate Existence; Status as Westcorp and Master
Servicer; Merger. Each of Westcorp and the Master Servicer shall not consolidate
with or merge into any other corporation or convey, transfer or lease all or
substantially all of its assets as an entirety to any Person unless the
corporation formed by such consolidation or into which Westcorp or the Master
Servicer, as applicable, has merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance,
transfer or lease substantially all the assets of Westcorp or the Master
Servicer, as applicable, as an entirety can lawfully perform the obligations of
Westcorp or the Master Servicer, as applicable, hereunder and executes and
delivers to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee an agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee
and the Insurer, which contains an assumption by such successor entity of the
due and punctual performance or observance of each covenant and condition to be
performed or observed by Westcorp or the Master Servicer, as applicable, under
this Agreement. Notice shall be sent to each Rating Agency by Westcorp or the
Master Servicer, as applicable, of any consolidation, merger or succession
pursuant to this Section.

         Section 7.03. Performance of Obligations.

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

         (b)      Neither Westcorp nor the Master Servicer shall take any
action, or permit any action to be taken by others, which would excuse any
Person from any of its covenants or obligations under any of the Contract
Documents or under any other instrument included in the Trust Estate, or which
would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or
discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any of the Contract
Documents or any such instrument, except as expressly provided herein and
therein.

         Section 7.04. Not to Resign; Assignment.

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

                                       64
<PAGE>

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

         (b)      Except as specifically permitted in this Agreement, neither
Westcorp nor the Master Servicer, as applicable, may assign this Agreement or
any of its rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder; provided that each
of Westcorp and the Master Servicer may assign this Agreement in connection with
a consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease made in compliance with
Section 7.02.

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

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

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

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

                                       65
<PAGE>

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

         Except as provided in this Agreement, neither Westcorp nor the Master
Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action that shall not be incidental to Westcorp's duties hereunder or the
Master Servicer's duties to service the Contracts in accordance with this
Agreement, and that in Westcorp's or the Master Servicer's, as applicable,
opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each
of Westcorp and the Master Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it
may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the other Basic
Documents and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the
other Basic Documents and the interests of the Securityholders under the Basic
Documents.

                                     DEFAULT

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

                  (a)      a claim being made under the Note Policy;

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

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

                  (d)      failure on the part of the Seller, the Issuer or the
         Master Servicer duly to observe or to perform in any material respect
         any other covenants or agreements of the Master Servicer or the Seller
         set forth in this Agreement or any other Basic Document, which failure
         shall (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of the Insurer,
         the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or
         Noteholders and (ii) continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after
         the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to
         be remedied, shall have been given (A) to the Master Servicer or the
         Seller (as the case may be) by the Insurer, the Owner Trustee or the
         Indenture Trustee or (B) to the Master Servicer or the Seller (as the
         case may be), and to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by the
         Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount
         of the Notes, voting together as a single Class, or, if the Notes have
         been paid in full, by Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25%
         of the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest, or so long as no
         default under the Note Policy has occurred and is continuing and no
         insolvency of the Insurer has occurred, by the Insurer;

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

                  (f)      any representation, warranty or statement of the
         Master Servicer, the Issuer or the Seller made in this Agreement or any
         certificate, report or other writing delivered by the Master Servicer
         prepared based on information provided by the Master Servicer pursuant
         hereto shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect as of the
         time

                                       67

<PAGE>

         when the same shall have been made (excluding, however, any
         representation or warranty to which Section 3.01 or 4.06 shall be
         applicable so long as the Master Servicer or the Seller shall be in
         compliance with Section 3.02 or 4.07, as the case may be), and the
         incorrectness of such representation, warranty or statement has a
         material adverse effect on the Noteholders or the Certificateholders
         and, within 30 days after written notice thereof shall have been given
         to the Master Servicer or the Seller by the Indenture Trustee or the
         Owner Trustee or by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25%
         of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting together as a single
         Class, or Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the
         aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest or, so long as no default has
         occurred under the Note Policy and is continuing and no Insurer
         Insolvency has occurred, by the Insurer, the circumstance or condition
         in respect of which such representation, warranty or statement was
         incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured;

then, and in each and every case, so long as such Servicer Default shall not
have been remedied and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.07 of
the Insurance Agreement, either the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer, the Holders
of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes, voting together as a single Class (or, if the Notes have been paid in
full and the Indenture has been discharged in accordance with its terms, by the
Owner Trustee or by Certificateholders evidencing not less than a majority of
the aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest), by notice then given in writing
to the Master Servicer (and to the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Trustee if given by the Noteholders or the Certificateholders) may terminate all
the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement. Upon
such termination, termination of the Master Servicer as custodian can be made
pursuant to Section 3.07. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such
written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates, the Contracts or
otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture
Trustee or such successor Master Servicer as may be appointed under Section
8.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are
hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, for the benefit of the
predecessor Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all
documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or
things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Contracts
and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with
the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in effecting the termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Master Servicer under this
Agreement, including the transfer to the Indenture Trustee for administration by
it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Master
Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received by it with respect to any
Contract.

         Section 8.02. Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. Upon
the Master Servicer's receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01
or resignation pursuant to Section 7.04, the Indenture Trustee shall be the
successor to the Master Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this
Agreement, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, except that the Indenture Trustee shall not be
obligated to purchase Contracts pursuant to Section 4.07 unless the obligation
to repurchase arose after the date of the notice of

                                       68

<PAGE>

termination given to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01 or be subject
to any obligation of the Master Servicer to indemnify or hold harmless any
Person as set forth in this Agreement arising from the acts or omissions of the
previous Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall
be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the Collection Account
or otherwise) as the Master Servicer would have been entitled to under this
Agreement if no such notice of termination shall have been given. If, however, a
bankruptcy trustee or similar official has been appointed for the Master
Servicer, and no Servicer Default other than such appointment has occurred, such
trustee or official may have the power to prevent the Indenture Trustee, Insurer
or the Noteholders from effecting a transfer of servicing. Notwithstanding the
above, in the event of a termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
8.01, the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to act, or shall, if
it shall be legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established financial institution, having a net
worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the
servicing of motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts, as the successor
to the Master Servicer under this Agreement. Pending appointment of any such
successor Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall act in such capacity as
provided above. In connection with such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may
make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
Contracts it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such
compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer under this
Agreement without the consent of the Insurer. The Indenture Trustee and such
successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession.

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

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

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

                                       69

<PAGE>

therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this
Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or
impair any right consequent thereto.

         Section 8.06. Insurer Direction of Insolvency Proceedings. Upon receipt
of actual knowledge thereof by a Responsible Officer, the Indenture Trustee
shall promptly notify the Insurer of (i) the commencement of any of the events
or proceedings (individually, an "Insolvency Proceeding") described in the
definition of the term "Insolvency Event" or any such event or proceeding
applicable to an Obligor under a Contract and (ii) the making of any claim in
connection with any Insolvency Proceeding seeking the avoidance as a
preferential transfer (a "Preference Claim") of any payment of principal of, or
interest on, a Contract or any Notes or Certificates. Each Noteholder and Note
Owner, by its purchase of Notes or a beneficial interest therein, each
Certificateholder, by its purchase of Certificates or a beneficial interest
therein, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee hereby agree that, so long
as neither a default under the Note Policy nor an Insurer Insolvency has
occurred and is continuing, the Insurer may at any time during the continuation
of an Insolvency Proceeding direct all matters relating to such Insolvency
Proceeding, including, without limitation, (i) all matters relating to any
Preference Claim, (ii) the direction of any appeal of any order relating to any
Preference Claim and (iii) the posting of any surety, supersedes or performance
bond pending any such appeal. The Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights of
the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and each Securityholder in the conduct
of any Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, all rights of any
party to an adversary proceeding action with respect to any court order issued
in connection with any such Insolvency Proceeding. In addition, for so long as
the Insurer guarantees amounts owing under the RIC and has not defaulted in the
making of any payment required to be made by it pursuant to such guaranty, the
Insurer shall have the right to initiate and control a proceeding against the
obligor under the RIC but only to the extent such proceeding relates to the
amounts so guaranteed and no settlement of any other proceeding or claim that
would adversely affect the Insurer's rights to recover such amounts shall be
effected without the prior written consent of the Insurer.

         Section 9.01. Optional Purchase of All Contracts.

         (a)      On any Distribution Date following the last day of a Due
Period as of which the Aggregate Principal Balance is less than or equal to
$165,000,000, the Seller shall have the option to purchase the remaining
Contracts from the Issuer. Notice of the exercise of such option shall be given
by the Seller to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer not
later than the 25th day of the month immediately preceding the month of the

Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders, by deposit in the
Collection Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the related
Distribution Date, the Aggregate Repurchase Amount, and shall succeed to all
interests in and to the Issuer. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred
on the last day of such Due Period. In addition, if the Master Servicer or the
Seller has outstanding senior debt and such debt is not rated "investment grade"
by Moody's at the time of exercising the option pursuant to this Section, then
the Master Servicer or such Seller shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee and Moody's, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
optional purchase is not a fraudulent conveyance.

         (b)      Upon any sale of the assets of the Issuer pursuant to Section
5.02(b) or Section 5.04 of the Indenture, the Master Servicer shall instruct the
Indenture Trustee to deposit the proceeds from such sale after all payments and
reserves therefrom have been made (the "Insolvency Proceeds") in the Collection
Account. On the Distribution Date on which the Insolvency Proceeds are deposited
in the Collection Account (or, if such proceeds are not so deposited on a
Distribution Date, on the Distribution Date immediately following such deposit),
the Master Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to distribute funds on
deposit in the Collection account (including such Insolvency Proceeds) and any
funds on deposit in the Spread Account in accordance with Section 5.06(a) of the
Indenture.

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

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

         (e)      On a Distribution Date on which an optional purchase pursuant
to Section 9.01(a) of all remaining Contracts of the Issuer occur, the Master
Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to make the following
distributions of the Aggregate Repurchase Amount and any Net Collections on
deposit in the Collection Account in the following priorities:

         Servicing Fees with respect to one or more prior Due Periods;

                  (ii)     to the Swap Counterparty, any accrued and unpaid Net
         Swap Payments with respect to one or more prior Due Periods;

                  (iii)    to the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee, any
         accrued and unpaid fees and expenses;

                  (iv)     to the Note Distribution Account, the Redemption
         Price for full payment of outstanding principal and accrued interest on
         the Notes;

                  (v)      to the Swap Counterparty, any Swap Termination
         Payment owed to it by the Trust and not paid to it pursuant to clause
         (ii) above;

                  (vi)     to the Insurer, to the extent of any Unreimbursed
         Insurer Amounts;

                  (vii)    to WFSRC2 until WFSRC2 has received full repayment of
         the Spread Account Initial Deposit; and

                  (viii)   to the Certificate Distribution Account, for
         distribution to Certificateholders in accordance with Section 5.02 of
         the Trust Agreement as determined by the Master Servicer.

         Section 9.02. Transfer to the Insurer. If (i) there is one or more
Outstanding Contracts at the end of the Due Period ending immediately prior to
the Class A-4 Final Scheduled Distribution Date and (ii) an amount sufficient to
pay the Note Distributable Amount on the Class A-4 Final Scheduled Distribution
Date has been deposited with the Indenture Trustee by the Insurer for the
benefit of the Class A-4 Noteholders then on the Class A-4 Final Scheduled
Distribution Date the Class A-4 Notes shall be deemed to be transferred by the
Class A-4 Noteholders, respectively, to the Insurer or its designee as purchaser
thereof at the opening of business on the Class A-4 Final Scheduled Distribution
Date and the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute, and the
Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Insurer or its designee,
in the name of the Insurer or its designee, as the case may be, a new Class A-4
Note evidencing the entire respective Class Balance. Such new Class A-4 Note
shall have the same terms as the Class A-4 Notes deemed transferred by the Class
A-4 Noteholders. No service charge shall be made for the issuance of such Class
A-4 Note to the Insurer or its designee, but the Owner Trustee may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
imposed in connection therewith. Such transfer shall not diminish or restrict
the Insurer's rights hereunder or under the Insurance Agreement.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         Section 10.01. Amendment.

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

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

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

the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall furnish
the written notification of the

substance of the amendment or consent described in Section 10.01(c) above, at
the expense of the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Owner Trustee on behalf of
the Issuer, as the case may be, to each Certificateholder and Noteholder,
respectively. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders and
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 10.01(b) to approve the particular form
of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent
shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and
of evidencing the authorization by Noteholders and Certificateholders of the
execution thereof shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.

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

         Section 10.02. Protection of Title to Trust.

         (a)      The Master Servicer shall execute and file such financing
statements and cause to be executed and filed such continuation statements, all
in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve,
maintain and protect the perfection and priority of the interest of the Issuer,

the Contracts and in the proceeds thereof. The Master Servicer shall deliver (or
cause to be delivered) to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee

         (b)      Neither WFS, the Seller nor the Master Servicer shall change
its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would, could or
might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance

provided by the Master Servicer) or the reincorporation of any of them in a
different jurisdiction if, as a result of such relocation or reincorporation,
the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment
of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new
financing statement and shall promptly file any such amendment or new financing
statement. The Master Servicer shall at all times maintain each office from
which it shall service Contracts, and its principal executive office, within the
United States.

         (d)      The Master Servicer shall maintain or cause to be maintained

or recoveries on (or with respect to) each Contract and the amounts from time to
time deposited in or credited to the Collection Account in respect of such
Contract.

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

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

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

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

         Agreement and of each amendment hereto, an Opinion of Counsel stating
         that, in the opinion of such counsel, the Indenture Trustee holds a
         perfected security interest in the Contracts, that the Issuer holds
         title to the Contracts subject to the security interest of the
         Indenture Trustee and the lien of the Insurer pursuant to the Insurance
         Agreement, and that the Insurer holds a lien on the Contracts under the
         Insurance Agreement, subject to applicable subordination; and

                  (ii)     within 90 days after the beginning of each calendar

         Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee in the Contracts, and reciting
         the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel
         in which such details are given or (B) stating that, in the opinion of

amounts that would be necessary to pay the debt and other obligations of WFSRC2
incurred in accordance with WFSRC2's certificate of incorporation and all
financing documents to which WFSRC2 is a party. The agreement set forth in the
preceding sentence shall constitute a subordination agreement for purposes of
Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, no amount owing by WFSRC2
hereunder in excess of the liabilities that it is required to pay in accordance
with the preceding sentence shall constitute a "claim" (as defined in Section
101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against it.

         Section 10.15. Replacement Interest Rate Swap Agreement. In accordance
with Section 3.13 of the Insurance Agreement, the Issuer at the direction of the

"Indenture Trustee").

         WFSRC2 is the owner of the Contracts. WFSRC2 proposes to pledge and
assign to the Trust all of its right, title and interest in and to the Contracts
and certain other property pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The
Trust will issue Certificates pursuant to the Trust Agreement, and the Notes
pursuant to the Indenture.

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

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

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

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

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

Transaction Agreement unenforceable in any respect or would otherwise have a
material adverse effect upon the Trust; the Trust holds all material licenses,
certificates and permits from all governmental authorities necessary for the
conduct of its business as presently conducted.

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

condition of WFS and the consolidated results of operations and changes in cash
flows of WFS and its consolidated subsidiaries, and (iii) have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied

         this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which WFS is a
         party during such period, or, if there has been a default of any such
         obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the

be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of the Contract
Documents and the Transaction Agreements to which WFS is a party. WFS shall not
consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease

formed by such consolidation or into which WFS has merged or the Person which
acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all the assets of WFS as
an entirety, can lawfully perform the obligations of WFS hereunder and executes
and delivers to the Owner Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and Financial Security, which contains an
assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and satisfaction

Agreement.

Affiliate or parent thereof) under any Transaction Agreement or otherwise
without the prior written consent of Financial Security. The provisions of this
paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.

                  (i)      For so long as WFS has any securitization
transactions (including warehouse facilities) outstanding as to which Financial
Security has provided credit enhancements, WFS shall disclose, in (a) any
financial statement provided to a creditor of WFS and (ii) all financial
statements included as part of its Form 10-Qs and Form 10-Ks subsequently filed
by WFS with the Commission, that automobile contracts sold by WFS to its special
purpose entity subsidiaries in connection with securitization transactions are
treated as having been sold for bankruptcy remoteness purposes, thereby
isolating those assets in its special purpose entity subsidiaries and the assets
of such special purpose entity subsidiaries are not available to satisfy the
obligations of WFS to its creditors.

                           (viii)   any payments made by Financial Security or
         any of its Affiliates as, or in lieu of, servicing, management,
         trustee, custodial or administrative fees payable, in the sole
         discretion of Financial Security, to third parties in connection with
         the transaction, to the extent (in each case) that such payment occurs
         following (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default (or event or
         circumstance that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or
         both, would become an Event of Default) or (ii) the failure of any
         Person to perform its obligation to pay any such amount at the time and
         in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Transaction
         Agreement; and

                           (ix)     interest on any and all such amounts
         described in this Section 3.04 from the date of payment by Financial
         Security or any of its Affiliates of such amounts until payment thereof
         in full and interest on any and all amounts described in Sections 3.03
         and 3.09 hereof from the date due until payment thereof in full, in
         each case, payable at the Late Payment Rate per annum, together with
         interest on overdue interest, compounded monthly.

                  (b)      All amounts to be paid by the Trust or WFSRC2
pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be due and payable without demand, in
full without any requirement on the part of Financial Security to seek
reimbursement from any other sources of indemnity therefor or to allocate
expenses to other transactions benefiting therefrom, and all such amounts shall
be payable in the priority and in the manner provided in the Sale and Servicing
Agreement; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Servicer Default
under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Financial Security shall have the rights
provided for herein and therein.

                  Section 3.05. Non-Recourse Obligation. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of WFSRC2
under Section 3.04(a) are solely the corporate obligations of WFSRC2, and shall
be payable by WFSRC2, solely as provided in this Section 3.05. WFSRC2 shall only
be required to pay (a) any fees, expenses, indemnities or other liabilities that
it may incur under Section 3.04(a) (i) from funds available pursuant to, and in
accordance with, the payment priorities set forth in Section 5.05 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement and (ii) to the extent WFSRC2 has additional funds
available (other than funds described in the preceding clause (i)) that would be
in excess of amounts that would be necessary to pay the debt and other
obligations of WFSRC2 incurred in accordance with WFSRC2's certificate of
incorporation and all financing documents to which WFSRC2 is a party and (b) any
expenses, indemnities or other liabilities that it may incur under Section
3.04(a) (i) from funds available pursuant to, and in accordance with, the
payment priorities set forth in Section 5.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement
and (ii) only to the extent it receives additional funds designated for such
purposes or to the extent it has additional funds available (other than funds
described in the preceding clause (i)) that would be in excess of amounts that
would be necessary to pay the debt and other obligations of WFSRC2 incurred in
accordance with WFSRC2's certificate of incorporation and all financing
documents to which WFSRC2 is a party. In addition, no amount owing by WFSRC2
hereunder in excess of the liabilities that it is required to pay in accordance
with the preceding sentence shall constitute a "claim" (as defined in Section
101(5) of the

                                       38
<PAGE>

Bankruptcy Code) against it. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any
amount owing hereunder or for the payment of any fee hereunder or any other
obligation of, or claim against, WFSRC2 arising out of or based upon Section
3.04(a), against any stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director or
authorized person of WFSRC2 or Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not relieve any such person or entity of any liability they
might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions or omissions taken by
them.

                  (a)      In addition to any and all rights of indemnification
or any other rights of Financial Security pursuant hereto or under law or

Financial Security and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents
and each person, if any, who controls Financial Security within the meaning of
either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from
and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities (including penalties),
actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs or expenses (including,
without limitation, fees and expenses of attorneys, consultants and auditors and
reasonable costs of investigations) or obligations whatsoever (herein
collectively referred to as "Liabilities") of any nature arising out of or
relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
Transaction Agreements by reason of:

         statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or
         the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
         preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or
         alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
         therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
         except insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any
         such untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof based upon (A)
         information set forth in the Prospectus under the caption "Financial
         Security Assurance Inc." in the Prospectus and "Capitalization of
         Financial Security Assurance Inc." in the prospectus supplement or in

                           (ii)     to the extent not covered by clause (i)
         above, any act or omission of WFSRC2 or the Trust in connection with
         the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Notes or the
         Certificates other than by reason of false or misleading Financial
         Security Information;

                           (iii)    the misfeasance or malfeasance of, or theft
         committed by, any director, officer, employee or agent of WFSRC2 or the

                           (vi)     the negligence or willful misconduct of
         WFSRC2 or the Trust or any of its directors, officers, employees or
         agents;

                           (vii)    the breach by WFSRC2 or the Trust of its
         obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
         Agreements;

         representation or warranty on the part of WFSRC2 or the Trust,
         respectively, contained in or incorporated by reference in this
         Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or in any certificate
         furnished or delivered to Financial Security hereunder and thereunder,
         or the occurrence, in respect of WFSRC2 or the Trust, under any of the
         Transaction Agreements of any event of default or any event which, with
         the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute any
         event of default; and

                           (ix)     the use, ownership or operation by WFSRC2 or

                  (b)      In addition to any and all rights of indemnification
or any other rights of Financial Security pursuant hereto or under law or
equity, Westcorp agrees to pay, and to protect, indemnify and save harmless,
Financial Security and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents
and each person, if any, who controls Financial Security within the meaning of
either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from
and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities (including penalties),
actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs or expenses (including,
without limitation, fees and expenses of attorneys, consultants and auditors and
reasonable costs of investigations) or obligations whatsoever (herein
collectively referred to as "Liabilities") of any nature arising out of or
relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
Transaction Agreements by reason of:

                           (i)      any untrue statement or alleged untrue
         statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or
         the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any

         based upon (A) information set forth in the Prospectus under the
         caption "Financial Security Assurance Inc." or in the financial
         statements of Financial Security, including any information in any

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

                           (iv)     the violation by Westcorp or any Affiliate

         reference in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or in

         and thereunder;

                           (ix)     the use, ownership or operation by Westcorp,

<PAGE>

                           (x)      the violation by WFSRC2 or the Trust of any
         of the provisions of (a) above caused by or at the direction of WFS or
         Westcorp, as the case may be.

                  (c)      If any action or proceeding (including any
governmental investigation) shall be brought or asserted against Financial
Security or any person controlling Financial Security (hereinafter collectively
referred to as a Financial Security Indemnified Party) in respect of which
indemnity may be sought from WFSRC2 pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(i) or (ii) or
Westcorp pursuant to Section 3.06(b)(i), (ii) or (x) (such Western Entity or
Western Entities, as the case may be, herein referred to as the Indemnifying
Western Entity), then Financial Security or such controlling person shall give
the Indemnifying Western Entity written or telegraphic notice of such action or
claim reasonably promptly after receipt of written notice thereof. The
Indemnifying Western Entity shall be entitled to participate in the defense of
any such action or claim in reasonable cooperation with, and with the reasonable
cooperation of, the Financial Security Indemnified Party. The Financial Security
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such
action in addition to the counsel of the Indemnifying Western Entity, but fees
and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Financial Security
Indemnified Party unless (1) the employment of counsel by the Financial Security
Indemnified Party has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Western
Entity or (2) the Indemnifying Western Entity has not in fact employed counsel
to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving
notice of the commencement of the action or (3) the named parties to any such
action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the
Indemnifying Western Entity on the one hand and the Financial Security
Indemnified Party on the other hand, and the Financial Security Indemnified
Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those
available to the Indemnifying Western Entity (it being understood, however, that
the Indemnifying Western Entity shall not, in connection with any one such
action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or
proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations
or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than
one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the Financial Security
Indemnified Party, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Financial
Security Indemnified Party), in each of which cases the fees and expenses of
counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnifying Western Entity and all such
fees and expenses will be reimbursed promptly as they are incurred. No
settlement of any such claim or action shall be entered into without the consent
of Financial Security on the one hand and the Indemnifying Western Entity who is
subject to such claim or action on the other hand. Any failure by Financial
Security to comply with the provisions of this Section shall relieve the
Indemnifying Western Entity of liability only if substantially prejudicial to
the position of the Indemnifying Western Entity and then only to the extent of
such prejudice.

                  (d)      The rights to indemnification provided for in this
Section 3.06 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive
until the statute of limitations has run on any causes of action that arise from
these provisions and until all suits filed as a result thereof have been finally
concluded.

                  (e)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, the obligations of WFSRC2 under this Section 3.06 are solely the
corporate obligations of WFSRC2, and shall be payable by WFSRC2, solely as
provided in this Section 3.06. WFSRC2 shall only be required to pay (a) any
fees, expenses, indemnities or other liabilities that it may incur under this
Section 3.06 (i) from funds available pursuant to, and in accordance with, the
payment priorities set forth in Section 5.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement
and (ii) to the extent WFSRC2 has additional funds available (other than funds
described in the preceding clause (i)) that would be in excess of amounts that
would be necessary to pay the debt and other obligations of WFSRC2 incurred in
accordance with WFSRC2's certificate of incorporation and all financing
documents to which WFSRC2 is a party and (b) any expenses, indemnities or other
liabilities that it may incur under this Section 3.06 (i) from funds available
pursuant to, and in accordance with, the payment priorities set forth in Section
5.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (ii) only to the extent it receives
additional funds designated for such purposes or to the extent it has additional
funds available (other than funds described in the preceding clause (i)) that
would be in excess of amounts that would be necessary to pay the debt and other
obligations of WFSRC2 incurred in accordance with WFSRC2's certificate of
incorporation and all financing documents to which WFSRC2 is a party. The
agreement set forth in the preceding sentence shall constitute a subordination
agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, no
amount owing by WFSRC2 hereunder in excess of the liabilities that it is
required to pay in accordance with the preceding sentence shall constitute a
"claim" (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against it. No
recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing hereunder or for the
payment of any fee hereunder or any other obligation of, or claim against,
WFSRC2 arising out of or based upon this Section 3.06, against any stockholder,
employee, officer, agent, director or authorized person of WFSRC2 or Affiliate
thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve any such person
or entity of any liability they might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent
actions or omissions taken by them.

                  Section 3.07. Liability Absolute. The obligations of each of
WFSRC2, Westcorp, WFS and the Trust hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional
and irrevocable and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without
limitation, the following circumstances:

                  (a)      any lack of validity or enforceability of the Policy
or all or any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Transaction
Agreements;

                  (b)      any amendment or waiver of or any consent to
departure from all or any provision of this Agreement or of any other
Transaction Agreement;

                  (c)      the existence of any claim, setoff, defense,
reduction, abatement or other right which either Western Entity may have at any
time against Financial Security or any other Person;

                                       43

<PAGE>

                  (d)      any statement, instrument of assignment or any other
document presented to Financial Security in connection with the Policy proving
to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

                  (e)      payment by Financial Security under the Policy
against presentation of a certificate or other document which does not comply
with the terms of the Policy, provided that such payment shall not have been the
result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Financial Security;

                  (f)      any nonapplication or misapplication by the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee, or any paying agent of the proceeds of the demand
for payment under the Policy;

                  (g)      the failure of WFSRC2, or, indirectly, WFS, to
receive the proceeds of the sale of the Notes; or

                  (h)      any other circumstance or happening whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such circumstance
or happening shall not have been the result of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Financial Security.

                  Section 3.08. Liability of Financial Security. Neither
Financial Security nor any of its officers, directors or employees shall be
liable or responsible for (a) the unauthorized use which may be made of the
Policy by the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee or any unauthorized acts or
omissions of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in connection with the
Policy; or (b) the validity, sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of documents,
or of any endorsement(s) thereto, even if such documents should in fact prove to
be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; or (c)
any acts or omissions to act of the Indenture Trustee in connection with the
Collateral other than such acts or omissions that are at the direction of
Financial Security. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing,
Financial Security (or its Fiscal Agent) may accept documents that appear on
their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation.
Each of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Western Entity
acknowledges that it has not relied on any information or materials provided by
Financial Security in connection with the issuance of the Notes and the
Certificates except for the information furnished in writing by Financial
Security for inclusion in the Registration Statement. Each of them also
acknowledges that it has not relied on any investigation by Financial Security
of the Collateral or of the financial statements or other financial statistical
data used in connection with the issuance of the Notes and Certificates.

                  Section 3.09. Payment of Costs, Fees and Expenses.

                  (a)      WFSRC2 shall pay on demand any and all charges, fees,

connection with (A) the enforcement, defense or preservation of any rights in
respect of any of this Agreement or

                                       44

<PAGE>

any other Transaction Agreements, including defending, monitoring or
participating in any litigation or proceeding (including any bankruptcy
proceeding in respect of any transaction participant or any Affiliate thereof)
relating to any of the Transaction Agreements and this Agreement, any party to
any of the Transaction Agreements and this Agreement, or the transaction, (B)
any amendment, waiver or other action with respect to, or related to, any
Transaction Agreements and this Agreement whether or not executed or completed
or (C) any review or approval by Financial Security in connection with the
delivery of any additional or substitute collateral under any of the Transaction
Agreements and this Agreement. In addition, WFSRC2 shall reimburse Financial
Security for its expenses, including, without limitation, legal fees and
disbursements, incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and
the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the initial transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, it being understood that WFSRC2's obligations
to reimburse Financial Security pursuant to this sentence shall be limited in
the aggregate to the dollar amount set forth in the letter agreement between the
Seller and Financial Security referred to in the definition of "Premium" set
forth herein, plus rating agency fees, to the extent paid by Financial Security.

                  (b)      Westcorp shall pay on demand any and all charges,
fees, costs and expenses not paid by WFSRC2 which Financial Security may
reasonably pay or incur, including, but not limited to, attorneys' and
accountants' fees and expenses, in connection with (A) the enforcement, defense
or preservation of any rights in respect of this Agreement or any other

any other Transaction Agreements, any party to any of the Transaction Agreements
and this Agreement, or the transaction, (B) any amendment, waiver or other
action with respect to, or related to, this Agreement or any other Transaction
Agreements, whether or not executed or completed or (C) any review or approval
by Financial Security in connection with the delivery of any additional or
substitute collateral under any of the Transaction Agreements and this
Agreement.

                  Section 3.10. Payment Procedure. All payments made pursuant to
this Agreement shall be made to Financial Security in lawful currency of the
United States of America and in one-day clearing-house funds at Financial
Security's Notice Address before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when
due.

                  Section 3.11. Business Days. In any case where the date of any
payment to Financial Security or the expiration of any time period hereunder
occurs on a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment may be made, or
such expiration shall occur, on the next succeeding Business Day with the same
force and effect as if made on the day of maturity or expiration of such period,
except that interest shall continue to accrue for the period after such date to
the next Business Day.

unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other person or entity
for the payment hereof and shall not in any manner be affected by any indulgence
or forbearance granted or consented to by Financial Security with respect
hereto; (f) consent to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or
modifications that may be granted by Financial Security with respect to the
payment or other provisions hereof, and to the release of any security at any

                  Section 3.13. Purchase of Replacement Swap Agreement. Upon the
occurrence of (i) an Event of Default or Termination Event under the Swap
Agreement and (ii) the failure of the Swap Counterparty to pay when due any
amounts payable by the Swap Counterparty pursuant to the Swap Agreement or
otherwise to perform under the Swap Agreement, Financial Security shall have the
right, but no obligation, to purchase, in Financial Security's sole and absolute
discretion, a replacement swap agreement or agreements (collectively, the
"Replacement Swap Agreement") with a replacement swap provider or providers in
form and substance satisfactory to Financial Security, and the parties hereto
agree that they shall direct the Collateral Agent in writing to cause the Trust
to enter into such Replacement Swap Agreement; provided, however, that under the
Replacement Swap Agreement (a) the Swap Interest Rate shall not be lower than
the Swap Interest Rate under the Swap Agreement and (b) the aggregate Fixed
Amount shall not be greater than the Fixed Amount under the Swap Agreement,
provided further, however, that in connection with the purchase of each
replacement swap agreement that shall collectively constitute the Replacement
Swap Agreement, Financial Security shall, prior to such purchase, obtain quotes
from at least two potential replacement swap providers (each a "Potential
Replacement Swap Provider") and the parties hereto shall direct the Collateral
Agent in writing to cause the Trust to enter into such Replacement Swap
Agreement with the Potential Replacement Provider that quoted a less expensive
purchase price than the other Potential Replacement Swap Provider or, if
Financial Security shall obtain quotes from more than two Potential Replacement
Swap Providers, the least expensive purchase price of all the Potential
Replacement Swap Providers. For the purposes of this Section 3.13 the terms
"Event of Default", "Termination Event", "Swap Interest Rate" and "Fixed Amount"
shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Swap Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                              PLEDGE OF COLLATERAL

                  Section 4.01. Obligations Secured Hereby. The agreements
contained in this Article IV are made to provide for and secure repayment of the
following indebtedness and liabilities of WFSRC2 (such indebtedness and
liabilities being herein called the "Obligations") in the order of priority
indicated:

                           First, (i) the repayment of all amounts, if any,
         advanced or expended by the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as
         Collateral Agent, for the account of WFSRC2 hereunder, (ii) the payment
         of all reasonable costs and expenses at any time and from time to time
         incurred by the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent,
         in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Agreement
         or any related document (including, without limitation, the fees and
         out-of-pocket expenses of counsel employed by the Collateral Agent in
         connection therewith) and (iii) the payment of all indemnities at any
         time and from time to time payable hereunder to the Collateral Agent,
         by WFSRC2, and

                           Second, (i) the repayment of all amounts advanced or
         paid by Financial Security under the Policy pursuant to this Agreement
         and (ii) the payment of any accrued but unpaid installments of the
         Premium and all costs and expenses at any time and from time to time
         incurred by Financial Security in connection with the administration or
         enforcement of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or any
         related document (including, without limitation, the fees and
         out-of-pocket expenses of counsel employed by Financial Security in
         connection therewith) and under or in connection with this Agreement
         and the Policy.

                  Section 4.02. Granting Clause. In order to secure and to
provide for the repayment of the Obligations, WFSRC2 hereby assigns, conveys,
transfers, delivers and sets over unto the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent
for Financial Security, and hereby grants the Collateral Agent, as collateral
agent for Financial Security, a security interest in all of its right, title and
interest in the Collateral owned by it, to have and to hold said Collateral unto
the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, forever in pledge and trust
for the benefit and security of Financial Security, subject to the terms and
provisions set forth in Article V of this Agreement. The assignment and security
interest so granted to the Collateral Agent shall not relieve WFSRC2 from the
performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on WFSRC2's part to be
performed or observed under or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Transaction Agreement, or impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or
Financial Security to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or
agreement on WFSRC2's part to be so performed or observed or impose any
liability on the Collateral Agent or Financial Security for any act or omission
on the part of WFSRC2 relative thereto or for any breach of any representation
or warranty on the part of WFSRC2 contained therein, or made in connection
therewith, and WFSRC2 hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the

                                       47

<PAGE>

Collateral Agent and Financial Security from and against any and all losses,
liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), claims, demands, actions,
suits, judgments, costs and expenses arising out of or resulting from the
assignment and security interest granted hereby by virtue of any act or omission
on the part of WFSRC2 (other than an act or omission on the part of such party
pursuant to or in accordance with an express direction from the Collateral Agent
or Financial Security), including, without limitation, the reasonable costs,
expenses and disbursements (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the
Collateral Agent or Financial Security in enforcing this Agreement or any other
Transaction Agreement. The assignment and security interest granted to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section shall become effective prior to the
effectiveness of the Seller Assignments, and the assignment by WFSRC2 to the
Trust under Section 2.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the assignment
by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and, upon the
effectiveness of such assignments and security interest, such assignment and
security interest shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.01(d) hereof.

                  Section 4.03. Release of Collateral. Financial Security hereby
instructs the Collateral Agent that, at such time as a Contract is reconveyed by
the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Collateral Agent shall release such Contract from the lien of the security
interest created hereby upon receipt by Financial Security and the Collateral
Agent of a Certificate of the Seller that the conditions set forth in Section
9.01 with respect to the Optional Purchase under that Section 9.01 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement have been satisfied.

                                    ARTICLE V

                            INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS

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

                  (a)      So long as no Insurer Insolvency has occurred and no
Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, if there exists any Servicer
Default pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Financial
Security shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Article VIII of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, have the sole right to direct the Indenture Trustee as to
any and all actions to be taken under the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, including, without limitation, all actions with
respect to (i) the giving of directions to the Master Servicer and any
Subservicer with respect to the servicing of the Contracts and any of the
respective obligations of WFSRC2 under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (ii)
the exercise of all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims against any
obligor under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (iii) the giving or
withholding of all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals,
extensions or waivers under or with respect to the Indenture or the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, as applicable, in each case to the same extent as the
Noteholders or the Certificateholders might do but for the collateral assignment
and security interests granted to Financial Security hereunder, provided,
however, that the Indenture Trustee, without obtaining the consent or direction
of Financial Security, may at all times take any action permitted or required to
be taken by it

                                       48

<PAGE>

under the terms of the Indenture or as a fiduciary in order to protect the
Indenture Trustee's, the Noteholders' and the Certificateholders' interest in
the Trust Estate or to preserve any available claims against WFSRC2 on behalf of
the Noteholders and the Certificateholders. Financial Security shall indemnify
the Indenture Trustee in full for any costs and expenses incurred (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee's counsel) in connection
with the Indenture Trustee's due performance of directions pursuant to this
subsection (a) or in connection with any inaction of the Indenture Trustee as a
result of a direction from Financial Security at any time when Financial
Security holds the right to direct the Indenture Trustee as provided for in this
paragraph (a).

                  (b)      Financial Security shall not unreasonably withhold
any consent required of it under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the
Indenture, as applicable, and shall promptly respond when any approval or
consent is required of it under the Sale or Servicing Agreement and the
Indenture, as applicable.

                  (c)      Notwithstanding any provision of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement or the Indenture, as applicable, to the contrary, so long as
no Insurer Insolvency has occurred and no Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing,

                           (i)      without the prior written consent of
         Financial Security, the Owner Trustee shall not (A) terminate the
         rights and powers of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01 of
         the Sale and Servicing Agreement or (B) waive any Servicer Default
         thereunder;

                           (ii)     without the prior written consent of
         Financial Security, (A) neither WFSRC2 nor the Trust shall cause to be
         appointed any successor Indenture Trustee, and, (B) neither the
         Indenture Trustee nor the Administrator shall cause to be appointed any
         Co-Trustee under the Indenture;

                           (iii)    without the prior written consent of
         Financial Security, none of WFSRC2, Westcorp, WFS, the Owner Trustee or
         the Indenture Trustee shall appoint new Independent Accountants;

                           (iv)     without the prior written consent of
         Financial Security, none of WFSRC2, Westcorp, WFS, the Owner Trustee or
         the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the amendment of or supplement
         to any of the Transaction Agreements; and

                           (v)      Financial Security shall have the power to
         direct the actions to be taken by WFSRC2 pursuant to Section 3.02 of
         the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

                  (d)      Financial Security agrees that, until such time that
all required payments shall have been made with respect to the Notes, the
security interest in the Collateral granted to Financial Security under this
Agreement shall be junior and subordinate to the interest of the Indenture
Trustee and the Noteholders. Financial Security further agrees that, until such
time that all required payments shall have been

                                       49

<PAGE>

made with respect to the Notes, neither Financial Security nor any Person acting
on its behalf may take any action to foreclose or otherwise pursue remedies with
respect to the Collateral other than in accordance with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and the Indenture.

                  Section 5.02. Financial Security's Direction of Insolvency
Proceedings. Financial Security shall have the rights provided for in Section
8.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                         THE COLLATERAL AGENT; REMEDIES

                  Section 6.01. Appointment and Powers of Collateral Agent.
Financial Security hereby appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as the
Collateral Agent, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas accepts such
appointment hereunder, and Financial Security hereby authorizes the Collateral
Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such rights, remedies,
powers and privileges hereunder as Financial Security may direct and as are
specifically authorized to be exercised by the Collateral Agent by the terms
hereof, together with such rights, remedies, powers and privileges as are
reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent may execute any of its
duties as agent hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be
entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice of such
counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agencies hereby created and its
duties hereunder, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel selected by
it. The Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement. The duties of the Collateral Agent shall
be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Collateral Agent shall not have
by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship. Nothing in this Agreement,
express or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon
the Collateral Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as
expressly set forth herein. Neither the Collateral Agent nor Financial Security,
nor any of its or their respective directors, officers or employees, shall be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or
in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct; nor shall the Collateral Agent or Financial Security be responsible
for the validity, effectiveness, value, sufficiency or enforceability against
WFSRC2 of this Agreement or any other document furnished pursuant hereto or in
connection herewith, or of the Collateral (or any part thereof). The Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument, paper or other
document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or
sent by the proper Person or Persons.

                  Section 6.02. Successor Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
acting hereunder at any time may resign by an instrument in writing addressed
and delivered to WFSRC2 and Financial Security. If the Collateral Agent is also
the Indenture Trustee and, as such, determines that it has a conflicting
interest on account of its acting as Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent
shall eliminate such conflicting interest by

                                       50

<PAGE>

resigning as Collateral Agent hereunder rather than resigning as Indenture
Trustee. Financial Security shall appoint a successor to the Collateral Agent
upon any such resignation by an instrument of substitution complying with the
requirements of applicable law, or, in the absence of any such requirements,
without formality other than appointment and designation in writing, a copy of
which instrument or writing shall be sent to WFSRC2; provided, however, that the
validity of any such appointment shall not be impaired or affected by any
failure to give any such notice to WFSRC2 or by any defect therein. Upon the
making and acceptance of such appointment, the execution and delivery by such
successor Collateral Agent of a ratifying instrument pursuant to which such
successor Collateral Agent agrees to assume the duties and obligations imposed
on the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement, and the delivery to such
successor Collateral Agent of the Collateral and related documents then held by
the retiring Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the estate, rights, powers, remedies,
privileges, immunities, indemnities, duties and obligations hereby granted to or
conferred or imposed upon the Collateral Agent named herein, and one such
appointment and designation shall not exhaust the right to appoint and designate
further successor Collateral Agents hereunder. No Collateral Agent shall be
discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder until the Collateral and
related documents then held by such Collateral Agent shall have been transferred
and delivered to the successor Collateral Agent and such retiring Collateral
Agent shall have executed and delivered to the successor Collateral Agent
appropriate instruments establishing the successor Collateral Agent as the
record holder of all liens and security interests in favor of Financial Security
in the Collateral and transferring to such successor Collateral Agent all power
given to it by the Indenture Trustee to act as attorney-in-fact of the Indenture
Trustee for purposes of this Agreement. Each such successor Collateral Agent
shall provide WFSRC2 and Financial Security with its address (which shall
thereupon become such successor Collateral Agent's Notice Address for purposes
of this Agreement), and its telephone, Telex, TWX and telecopier numbers, to be
used for purposes of Section 7.02 hereof, in a notice complying with the terms
of said Section.

                  Section 6.03. Remedies Available to Collateral Agent.

                  (a)      To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and
subject to Article V hereof, if the Master Servicer shall have been terminated
upon the occurrence of any Servicer Default pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, then in every such case, the Collateral Agent may, to
the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to Article V hereof, exercise
the following rights, privileges and remedies:

                           (i)      Collection of the Collateral. The Collateral
         Agent shall have the right to collect all proceeds of the Collateral,
         to pay all expenses of such collection, including the reasonable
         expenses and compensation of the Collateral Agent, its agents and
         attorneys, and to apply the remainder of the moneys so received as
         provided herein.

                                       51

<PAGE>

                           (ii)     Sale of Collateral. The Collateral Agent may
         sell, or cause to be sold, the Collateral or any part thereof or
         interest therein, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash or
         at private sale or auction with or without demand, advertisement or
         notice of the date, time or place of sale or any adjournment thereof,
         upon such terms as Financial Security may approve, and upon such sale
         the Collateral Agent shall make and deliver to the purchaser or
         purchasers an appropriate instrument or instruments of transfer. The
         Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful
         attorney of the Indenture Trustee, in its name and stead, to make all
         necessary transfers of property thus sold; and for that purpose it may
         execute all necessary instruments of transfer, and may substitute one
         or more Persons with like power, the Indenture Trustee hereby ratifying
         and confirming all that its said attorney, or such substitute or
         substitutes, shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, if so
         requested by the Collateral Agent or any purchaser of the Collateral or
         any part thereof, the Indenture Trustee shall ratify and confirm any
         such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to the Collateral
         Agent or such purchaser all proper instruments of transfer and releases
         as may be designated in any such request. The Collateral Agent may
         proceed at law or in equity to foreclose the lien of this Agreement
         against all or any part of the Collateral and to have the same sold
         under the judgment or decree of a court having jurisdiction or as
         otherwise may be required or permitted by law. Upon any such sale,
         whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of
         judicial proceedings, any Noteholder, Certificateholder or Financial
         Security may bid for and purchase the Collateral or any part thereof
         and, upon compliance with the terms of such sale, may hold, retain,
         possess or dispose of such property in its or their own absolute right
         without accountability; and any purchaser at any such sale may, in
         paying the purchase money, turn in any of the Notes or Certificates, as
         applicable, in lieu of cash up to the amount which shall, upon
         distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon. Said
         Notes or Certificates, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be
         less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Holders
         thereof after being properly stamped to show partial payment. Upon any
         sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of
         judicial proceedings, a receipt of the Collateral Agent, or of the
         officer making such sale under judicial proceedings, shall be a
         sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale for
         its or their purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not
         be obliged to see to the application thereof. Any such sale, whether
         under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial
         proceedings, shall bind the Collateral Agent, WFSRC2, the Indenture
         Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, shall operate to
         divest all right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in
         equity, of each of them in and to the property sold, and shall be a
         perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each of them and
         their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming
         through or under them.

                           (iii)    Other Actions. The Collateral Agent shall
         have the right to cause any other action permitted at law or in equity
         to be initiated and prosecuted to enforce this Agreement and any rights
         granted by virtue of the pledge of the Collateral hereunder and to
         collect or enforce the Notes and the Certificates.

<PAGE>

                  Section 6.04. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws; Marshalling of
Assets. Each of WFSRC2, the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee (in each
case to the extent permitted by applicable law) covenants that it will not at
any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or
redemption law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in order
to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of
the Collateral or any part thereof, or the possession thereof by any purchaser
at any sale under this Article; and each of WFSRC2 and the Indenture Trustee (in
each case to the extent permitted by applicable law), for itself and all who may
claim under it, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws, and covenants that
none of them will hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Collateral Agent, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted. Each of WFSRC2, the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, for itself and all who may claim under
it, waives (in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law) all right to
have the Collateral marshalled upon any foreclosure hereof, and agrees that any
court having jurisdiction to foreclose this Agreement may order the sale of the
Collateral as an entirety without the marshalling thereof.

                  Section 6.05. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the
Collateral Agent has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this Agreement, and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for
any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and
in every such case WFSRC2, the Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee shall,
subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Collateral Agent shall continue as though no such proceeding had
been instituted.

                  Section 6.06. Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Collateral Agent is intended to be exclusive
of any other right or remedy, and every right shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or otherwise, and each
and every right, power and remedy, whether specifically herein given or
otherwise existing, may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such
order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent, and the exercise or
the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to
be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other
right, power or remedy.

                  Section 6.07. Control by Financial Security. So long as no
Insurer Insolvency has occurred and no Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing, Financial Security shall, upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any of the Servicer Defaults described in Section 8.01 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, subject to Article V hereof, have the right to
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Collateral Agent hereunder or otherwise or exercising any trust
or power conferred upon the Collateral Agent hereunder provided that:

                                       53

<PAGE>

                           (1)      such direction shall not be in conflict with
         any rule of law or with this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing
         Agreement; and

                           (2)      such Collateral Agent may take any other
         action deemed proper by such Collateral Agent that is not inconsistent
         with such direction.

                  Section 6.08. Proceeds Agent as Custodian and Bailee of
Collateral Agent. In order to facilitate the making of payments under the
Contracts, such payments shall be deposited by the Master Servicer in the
Collection Account, and certain amounts in the Collection Account shall be
deposited in the Spread Account, in accordance with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. The Proceeds Agent shall retain all proceeds deposited in the
Collection Account and the Spread Account as custodian and bailee of the
Collateral Agent for Financial Security. Financial Security hereby acknowledges
that the Proceeds Agent will also hold all such proceeds for the benefit of the
Noteholders and the Certificateholders. Solely for purposes of perfection under
Section 9-313(c) of the UCC, Financial Security and the Proceeds Agent hereby
acknowledge that the Proceeds Agent is acting as agent and bailee of the
Collateral Agent for Financial Security in holding such property in the
Collection Account and the Spread Account, and any other items constituting a
part of the Collateral which from time to time come into the possession of the
Proceeds Agent. It is intended that, by the Proceeds Agent's acceptance of such
custodianship and bailment pursuant to this Agreement, the Collateral Agent for
Financial Security, as secured party, will be deemed to have possession of such
Collateral, items, moneys and such other items for purposes of Section 9-313(c)
of the UCC.

                  Section 6.09. Indemnification of Collateral Agent. Financial
Security hereby indemnifies and holds the Collateral Agent harmless from and
against any and all judgments, claims, defenses, charges, losses, liabilities,
costs or expenses that the Collateral Agent may incur or that may be claimed
against the Collateral Agent by any Person by reason of any action taken, or any
failure to act, in connection with the duties and responsibilities of the
Collateral Agent under the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that
Financial Security shall not be required to indemnify the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Section for any judgments, claims, defenses, charges, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent caused by such Collateral Agent's
willful misconduct or gross negligence in any action taken, or any failure to
act, in connection with the duties and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent
under the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to
retain counsel in any action for which indemnification from Financial Security
is provided herein, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall
constitute costs and expenses of such Collateral Agent for which indemnification
from Financial Security is provided herein. The Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to submit a written request, with supporting documentation, for any
amounts expended by it for which indemnification is provided herein, as such
amounts are expended or on a periodic basis, as the Collateral Agent shall
choose, and Financial Security shall reimburse to the Collateral Agent the
amount specified in each such written request promptly. The indemnity agreements
contained in this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of the termination of this Agreement.

                  Section 6.10. Compensation Payable to Collateral Agent. In
consideration of the Collateral Agent's services to be rendered hereunder, the
Master Servicer agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of Financial
Security, the compensation set forth in a separate letter agreement dated as of
the date hereof between the Master Servicer and the Collateral Agent
incorporated herein by this reference. The Collateral Agent acknowledges,
notwithstanding the fact that, in the event that payments from the Collection
Account are insufficient, it shall look solely to the Master Servicer for
payment of its compensation hereunder, that the Collateral Agent is acting
solely as the agent for Financial Security for purposes of this Agreement.
Failure by the Master Servicer to pay the Collateral Agent's compensation
hereunder shall not cause this Agreement to be cancelled, void or voidable or
otherwise terminated or otherwise affect the Collateral Agent's obligations
hereunder.

                  Section 6.11. Protection of Financial Security's Security
Interest.

                  (a)      The Seller shall execute and file (or cause to be
executed and filed) such financing statements and execute and file (or cause to
be executed and filed) such continuation statements, against the Seller, all in
such manner and in such places as may be required by law (whether in the event
of a change of the Seller's name, identity or corporate structure, or otherwise)
fully to preserve, maintain, and protect the interest of Financial Security in
the Collateral. The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Financial
Security file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as
provided above, as soon as available following such filing. Furthermore, to
effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, including for the
purpose of perfecting the security interest granted hereunder, the Trust, WFS
and the Seller, respectively, hereby authorize the filing by Financial Security,
on or prior to the Closing Date and any subsequent Closing Dates, an appropriate
Uniform Commercial Code financing statement in California or Nevada, as
appropriate, in form sufficient to assure that the Collateral Agent, as agent
for Financial Security, has a first priority perfected security interest in all
Collateral which can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement.

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

                  (c)      The Seller shall give Financial Security at least 60
days' prior written notice of any relocation of the Seller's place of
incorporation if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of
the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed
financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement. WFS shall
at all times maintain each office from which it shall service the Contracts, and
its principal executive office, within the United States of America.

                                       55

                  (d)      The Seller agrees that, upon request by Financial
Security, such Seller shall furnish to Financial Security, within seven Business
Days, a list of the Contracts then held as part of the Trust, together with a
reconciliation of such list to the Schedule of Contracts and to each of the
Master Servicer's certificates furnished pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement before such request; provided, however, that Financial Security shall
not make such request more than four times in any calendar year. None of WFSRC2
or the Master Servicer shall grant a security interest in, or lien upon, or in
any manner encumber the Collateral, or release or waive the security interest
granted hereunder, except as contemplated herein.

                  (e)      In the event that either the Master Servicer or
WFSRC2 relocates its principal executive office, such party shall provide an
Opinion of Counsel to Financial Security, in form and substance satisfactory to
Financial Security, to the effect that upon the filing of any necessary
amendment to any previously filed financing or continuation statement or a new
financing statement, the Collateral Agent's security interest in the Collateral
granted hereunder shall remain valid and effective.

                  (f)      WFSRC2 shall be obligated to pay all reasonable costs
and disbursements in connection with the perfection and the maintenance of
perfection, as against all third parties, of Financial Security's right, and
security interest in and to the Collateral.

                  Section 6.12. Representations and Warranties of Indenture
Trustee. The representations and warranties of the Indenture Trustee, made as
Indenture Trustee, in Section 6.13 of the Indenture are incorporated by
reference herein as if set forth in full herein and Financial Security may rely
upon such representations and warranties.

                  Section 6.13. Certain Guaranties. Each of the Indenture
Trustee and the Master Servicer agrees that it (i) shall not treat any ledger
account or deposit account as an "Eligible Account" by reason of a guaranty of
the type described in clause (ii)(a) of the definition of "Eligible Account" in
the Sale and Servicing Agreement unless Financial Security shall have previously
approved in writing the form of such guaranty and (ii) shall not treat any
investment as an "Eligible Investment" by reason of a guaranty of the type
described in clause (iii)(b) or clause (vii) of the definition of "Eligible
Investments" in the Sale and Servicing Agreement unless Financial Security shall
have previously approved in writing the form of such guaranty.

report furnished under any of the Transaction Agreements, shall prove to be
untrue or incorrect in any material respect, provided however, a violation of
Section 3.01(b) or 4.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement as to which the
Seller or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, shall have in a timely manner
cured or repurchased the Contract as to each such Financed Vehicle pursuant to
Section 3.02 or 4.07, as the case may be, of the Sale and Servicing Agreement

jurisdiction over any of the parties to any of the Transaction Agreements or
property thereof shall find or rule that any material provision of any of the
Transaction Agreements is not valid and binding on the parties thereto; provided
that as a result of such finding or ruling the rights or remedies of Financial
Security under this Agreement shall have been directly or indirectly impaired in
any material respect;

Transaction Agreements (except for the obligations described under clause (b) or
(c) above) and such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after written
notice given to the Trust and WFSRC2; provided that, if such failure shall be of
a nature that it cannot be cured within 30 days, such failure shall not
constitute an Event of Default hereunder if within such 30-day period such party
shall have given notice to Financial Security of corrective action it proposes
to take, which corrective action is agreed in writing by Financial Security to
be satisfactory and such party shall thereafter pursue such corrective action
diligently until such default is cured, and provided further as a result of such
failure the rights or remedies of Financial Security under this Agreement shall
have been directly or indirectly impaired in any material respect;

                  (e)      there shall have occurred an "Event of Default" as
specified in Section 5.01 of the Indenture;

law, domestic or foreign, or any proceeding shall be instituted against the
Trust seeking liquidation of its assets and the Trust shall fail to take
appropriate action resulting in the withdrawal or dismissal of such proceeding
within 30 days or there shall be appointed or the Trust consent to, or acquiesce
in, the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar

                  (a)      Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Financial
Security may exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies set forth
below:

                           (i)      declare all indebtedness of every type or
         description owed by the Trust, WFSRC2, Westcorp or WFS to Financial
         Security, including, without limitation, the entire outstanding balance
         of further installments of the Premium, to be immediately due and

                           (ii)     the Collateral Agent, subject to Article V

exercised in its complete discretion, to waive any Event of Default hereunder,
by a writing setting forth terms, conditions, and extent of such waiver signed
by Financial Security and delivered to an Authorized Officer of WFSRC2. Unless
such writing expressly provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall
extend only to the specific event or occurrence that gave rise to the Event of
Default so waived and not to any other similar event or occurrence that occurs
subsequent to the date of such waiver.

                  (c)      Unless otherwise expressly provided, no remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other available
remedy, but each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to other
remedies given under the

                                       58

<PAGE>

Transaction Agreements or existing at law or in equity. No delay or failure to
exercise any right or power accruing under any Transaction Agreements upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default or otherwise shall impair any such right or
power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In
order to entitle Financial Security to exercise any remedy reserved to Financial
Security in this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

obligations under this Agreement, or delegate any of its duties hereunder,
without the prior written consent of Financial Security. Any assignment made in
violation of this Agreement shall be null and void.

                  (b)      Financial Security shall have the right to give
participations in its rights under this Agreement and to enter into contracts of
reinsurance with respect to the Policy upon such terms and conditions as
Financial Security may in its discretion determine; provided, however, that no
such participation or reinsurance agreement or arrangement shall relieve
Financial Security of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Policy and

WFS, as the case may be, for any expense incurred by such Western Entity in
connection with the giving by Financial Security of participations or the
entering into such contracts of reinsurance.

                  (c)      In addition, Financial Security shall be entitled to
assign or pledge to any bank or other lender providing liquidity or credit with
respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or this
Agreement or the obligations of Financial Security in connection therewith any
rights of Financial Security under the Transaction Agreements or this Agreement
or with respect to any real or personal property or other interests pledged to
Financial Security, or in which Financial Security has a security interest, in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or
this Agreement; provided that Financial Security shall reimburse WFSRC2,
Westcorp or WFS, as the case may be, for any expense incurred by such Western
Entity in connection with the making by Financial Security of any such
assignment or pledge.

                  (d)      Except as provided herein with respect to
participants and reinsurers, nothing in this Agreement shall confer any right,
remedy or claim, express or

                                       60

Certificateholder, other than Financial Security, against WFSRC2, Westcorp or
WFS, and all the terms, covenants, conditions, promises and agreements contained

Indenture Trustee nor any Noteholder or Certificateholder shall have any right
to payment from any premiums paid or payable hereunder or from any other amounts
paid by WFSRC2, Westcorp or WFS pursuant to Section 3.03 or 3.04 hereof.

the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent that it could
if it were a signatory of such agreement.

                  Section 8.09. Each of WFS and Westcorp as Party Only for
Certain Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in

Agreement solely for purposes of Sections 2.08, 2.11, 3.02, 3.06, 3.07, 3.08,

                  Section 8.10. Severability. In the event that any provision of
this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent
jurisdiction, the parties hereto agree that such holding shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable any other provision hereof. The parties hereto further
agree that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any remedy
pursued by Financial Security hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall
not affect in any way the ability of Financial Security to pursue any other
remedy available to it.

                  Section 8.11. Reports. Any report, certificate, statement or
notice which WFSRC2, WFS as the Master Servicer, and any successor Master

party hereto, as such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or
equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise in respect of any of
the Transaction Agreements, the Notes, the Certificates or the Policy, it being
expressly agreed and understood that each Transaction Agreement is solely a
corporate obligation of each party hereto, and that any and all personal
liability, either in common law or in equity, or by statute or constitution, of
