                                   DEFINITIONS
                                   -----------

         (a) All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings
when used in any instrument governed hereby and in any certificate or other
document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein.

         (b) Accounting terms used but not defined or partly defined in this
Agreement, in any instrument governed hereby or in any certificate or other
document made or delivered pursuant hereto, to the extent not defined, shall
have the respective meanings given to them under U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles as in effect on the date of this Agreement or any such

certificate or other document are inconsistent with the meanings of such terms
under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the definitions contained
in this Agreement or in any such instrument, certificate or other document shall
control.

         (c) The words "HEREOF," "HEREIN," "HEREUNDER" and words of similar
import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and
not to any particular provision of this Agreement.

Agreement are references to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits in or to this

as to the feminine and neuter genders of such terms.

         (f) Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein
or in any instrument or certificate delivered in connection herewith means such

         under the UCC.

         Receivable, TFC,) named as the original secured party under the Related
         Receivable as the holder of a first priority security interest in such
         Financed Vehicle, and (B) if the Related Receivable was originated in a
         State in which the filing of a financing statement under the UCC is
         required to perfect a security interest in motor vehicles, such filings
         or recordings have been duly made and show the Seller (or, in the case
         of a TFC Receivable, TFC) named as the original secured party under the
         Related Receivable, and in either case, the Trustee has the same rights
         as such secured party has or would have (if such secured party were
         still the owner of the Receivable) against all parties claiming an
         interest in such Financed Vehicle. With respect to each Related
         Receivable for which the title document has not yet been returned from
         the Registrar of Titles, the Seller has received written evidence from
         the related Dealer that such title document showing the Seller (or, in
         the case of a TFC Receivable, TFC) as first lienholder has been applied
         for.

                  (xx) VALID AND BINDING OBLIGATION OF OBLIGOR. Each Related
         Receivable is the legal, valid and binding obligation in writing of the
         Obligor thereunder and is enforceable in accordance with its terms,
         except only as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
         insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
         rights generally, and all parties to such contract had full legal
         capacity to execute and deliver such contract and all other documents
         related thereto and to grant the security interest purported to be
         granted thereby. Each Related Receivable is not subject to any right of
         set-off by the Obligor.

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

<PAGE>

                  (xxii) POST-OFFICE BOX. On or prior to the next billing period
         after the related Cutoff Date, the Servicer will notify each Obligor to
         make payments with respect to its respective Related Receivables after
         the related Cutoff Date directly to the Post-Office Box, and will
         provide each Obligor with a monthly statement in order to enable such
         Obligor to make payments directly to the Post-Office Box.

                  (xxiii) CASUALTY. No Financed Vehicle financed under a Related
         Receivable has suffered a Casualty.

                  (xxiv) NO AGREEMENT TO LEND. The Obligor with respect to each
         Related Receivable does not have any option under the Receivable to
         borrow from any person any funds secured by the Financed Vehicle.

                  (xxv) OBLIGATION TO DEALERS OR OTHERS. The Purchaser and its
         assignees will assume no obligation to Dealers or other originators or
         holders of the Related Receivables (including, but not limited to under
         dealer reserves) as a result of its purchase of the Related
         Receivables.

                  (xxvi) NO IMPAIRMENT. Neither Seller nor the Purchaser has
         done anything to convey any right to any Person that would result in
         such Person having a right to payments due under any Related
         Receivables or otherwise to impair the rights of the Purchaser, the
         Trustee, the Noteholder or the Insurer in any Related Receivable or the
         proceeds thereof.

                  (xxvii) RECEIVABLES NOT ASSUMABLE. No Related Receivable is
         assumable by another Person in a manner which would release the Obligor
         thereof from such Obligor's obligations to the Purchaser or Seller with
         respect to such Related Receivable.

                  (xxviii) SERVICING. The servicing of each Related Receivable
         and the collection practices relating thereto have been lawful and in
         accordance with the standards set forth in this Agreement; and other
         than Seller, TFC and the Back-up Servicer pursuant to the Basic
         Documents, no other person has the right to service the Receivable.

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

                  (xxx) PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST IN TRUST ESTATE. 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 Trust
         Estate granted to the Purchaser for the benefit of the Noteholder and
         the Insurer hereunder pursuant to SECTION 2.1 and the related
         Assignment.

                  (xxxi) NO OTHER SECURITY INTERESTS. Other than the security
         interest granted to the Purchaser for the benefit of the Noteholder and
         the Insurer pursuant to SECTION 2.1 and the related Assignment, the
         Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in,
         or otherwise conveyed any of the Trust Estate, other than such Security
         Interests as are released at or before the conveyance of the Trust
         Estate. The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of
         any financing statements filed against the Seller that include a
         description of collateral covering any portion of the Trust Estate
         other than any financing statement relating to the security interest
         granted to the Purchaser for the benefit of the Noteholder and the
         Insurer hereunder or that has been terminated or released as to the
         Trust Estate. The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax lien
         filings against the Seller.

<PAGE>

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

                  (xxxiii) STATE CONCENTRATION OPINIONS. If Eligible Receivables
         originated in any one state exceed 10% of the Aggregate Principal
         Balance of the Eligible Receivables, the Seller shall deliver to each
         Rating Agency, the Insurer and the Agent an Opinion of Counsel with
         respect to the security interest in the Financed Vehicles with respect
         to such state on or prior to the related Funding Date.

                  (xxxiv) ADDITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TFC RECEIVABLES.
         Each Related Receivable that is a TFC Receivable has (1) an original
         term of 9 to 60 months; (2) an original Amount Financed of at least
         $1,000 and not more than $25,000; and (3) had an APR of at least 9.90%
         an not more than 30% (subject to applicable laws). Each Obligor under a
         TFC Receivable (A) was signed up for allotment at the time of
         origination of such TFC Receivable and (B) is currently enlisted in a
         branch of the U.S. military.

         SECTION 3.2. REPURCHASE UPON BREACH. The Seller, the Servicer, the
Insurer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to
this Agreement promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the
Seller's representations and warranties made pursuant to SECTION 3.1 (without
regard to any limitations therein as to the Seller's knowledge). Unless the
breach shall have been cured by the last day of the next Accrual Period
following the discovery thereof by the Trustee or the Insurer or receipt by the
Trustee and the Insurer of notice from the Seller or the Servicer of such
breach, the Seller shall repurchase any Receivable if the value of such
Receivable is materially and adversely affected by the breach as of the last day
of such next Accrual Period (or, at the Seller's option, the last day of the
first Accrual Period following the discovery). In consideration of the purchase
of any Receivable, the Seller shall remit the Purchase Amount, in the manner
specified in SECTION 5.6. The sole remedy of the Purchaser, the Trustee, the
Noteholder or the Insurer with respect to a breach of representations and
warranties pursuant to SECTION 3.1 shall be to enforce the Seller's obligation
to purchase such Receivables; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Seller shall indemnify
the Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Insurer, the Purchaser, the Agent and the
Noteholder against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities,
including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against
or incurred by any of them as a result of third party claims arising out of the
events or facts giving rise to such breach. Upon receipt of the Purchase Amount
in respect of any Defective Receivables and written instructions from the
Servicer, the Trustee shall release to the Seller or its designee the related
Receivables File and shall execute and deliver all reasonable instruments of
transfer or assignment, without recourse, as are prepared by the Seller and
delivered to the Trustee and necessary to vest in the Seller or such designee
title to such Defective Receivables including a Trustee's Certificate in the
form of EXHIBIT E.

         SECTION 3.3. CUSTODY OF RECEIVABLES FILES.

         (a) In connection with each sale, transfer and assignment of
Receivables and related Other Conveyed Property to the Purchaser pursuant to
this Agreement and each Assignment, and each pledge thereof by the Purchaser to
the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Trustee shall act as custodian of the
following documents or instruments in its possession which shall be delivered to
the Trustee on or before the Closing Date or the related Funding Date in
accordance with SECTION 3.4 (with respect to each Receivable) (excluding the
Funding Date that is to occur on March 15, 2002):

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

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

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

         (b) Upon payment in full of any Receivable, the Servicer will notify
the Trustee pursuant to a certificate of an officer of the Servicer in the form
of EXHIBIT C (which certificate shall include a statement to the effect that all
amounts received in connection with such payments which are required to be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to SECTION 4.2 have been so
deposited) and shall request delivery of the Receivable and Receivable File to
the Servicer.

         SECTION 3.4. ACCEPTANCE OF RECEIVABLE FILES BY TRUSTEE. In connection
with any Funding Date (excluding the first Funding Date that is to occur on
March 15, 2002), the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee the
Receivable Files for the Related Receivables to be purchased not less than four
Business Days prior to the related Funding Date. The Trustee shall within two
Business Days after receipt of such files, execute and deliver to the Insurer
and the Agent, a Trust Receipt for the Receivable Files received by the Trustee.
By its delivery of a Trust Receipt, the Trustee shall be deemed to have (a)
acknowledged receipt of the files (or the Receivables) which the Seller has
represented are and contain the Receivable Files for the Related Receivables
purchased by the Purchaser on the related Funding Date, (b) reviewed such files
or Receivables and (c) determined that it has received a file (or a Receivable)
for each Related Receivable identified in SCHEDULE A to the related Assignment.
The Trustee declares that it will hold and will continue to hold such files and
any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all Other Conveyed
Property as Trustee, custodian, agent and bailee in trust for the use and
benefit of each present and future Noteholder and the Insurer. The Trustee
agrees to review each file delivered to it no later than (x) 20 days if less
than 7,500 files and (y) 30 days if greater than 7,500 files after the related
Funding Date to determine whether such Receivable Files contain the documents
referred to in SECTION 3.3(a). If the Trustee has found or finds that a file for
a Receivable has not been received, or that a file is unrelated to the
Receivables identified in SCHEDULE A to the related Assignment or that any of
the documents referred to in SECTION 3.3(a)(i) or (ii) are not contained in a
Receivable File, the Trustee shall inform the Purchaser, the Seller, the Agent
and the Insurer promptly, in writing, of the failure to receive a file with
respect to such Receivable (or the failure of any of the aforementioned
documents to be included in the Receivable File) or shall return to the
Purchaser, as the Seller's designee any file unrelated to a Receivable
identified in SCHEDULE A to the related Assignment (it being understood that the
Trustee's obligation to review the contents of any Receivable File shall be
limited as set forth in the preceding sentence). Unless such defect with respect
to such Receivable File shall have been cured by the last day of the next
Accrual Period following discovery thereof by the Trustee, the Controlling Party
shall cause the Seller to repurchase any such Receivable as of such last day. In
consideration of the purchase of the Receivable, the Seller shall remit the
Purchase Amount for such Receivable, in the manner specified in SECTION 5.6. The
sole remedy of the Trustee, the Purchaser, the Noteholder and the Insurer with
respect to a breach pursuant to this SECTION 3.4 shall be to require the Seller
to purchase the applicable Receivables pursuant to this SECTION 3.4; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Seller shall indemnify the Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the
Insurer, the Purchaser, the Agent and the Noteholder against all costs,
expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as
a result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to
such breach. Upon receipt of the Purchase Amount for a Receivable and written
instructions from the Servicer, the Trustee shall release to the Seller or its
designee the related Receivable File and shall execute and deliver all
reasonable instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as are
prepared by the Seller and delivered to the Trustee and are necessary to vest in
the Seller or such designee title to the Receivable including a Trustee's
Certificate in the form of EXHIBIT E. The Trustee shall make a list of
Receivables for which an application for a certificate of title but not an

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

original certificate of title or, with respect to Receivables that finance a
vehicle in the States listed in Annex B, other evidence of title issued by the
applicable Department of Motor Vehicles or similar authority in such States, is
included in the Receivable File as of the date of its review of the Receivable
Files and deliver a copy of such list to the Servicer, the Agent and the
Insurer. On the date which is 180 days following the related Funding Date, and
monthly thereafter, the Trustee shall inform the Seller and the other parties to
this Agreement and the Insurer of any Receivable for which the related
Receivable File on such date does not include an original certificate of title
or, with respect to Financed Vehicles in the States listed in Annex B, other
evidence of title issued by the applicable Department of Motor Vehicles or
similar authority in such States, and the Seller shall repurchase any such
Receivable as of the last Business Day of the Accrual Period in which the
expiration of such 180 days occurs. In consideration of the purchase of the
Receivable, the Seller shall remit the Purchase Amount for such Receivable, in
the manner specified in SECTION 5.6.

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

         SECTION 3.6. TRUSTEE TO OBTAIN FIDELITY INSURANCE. The Trustee shall
maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount as is customary for entities
acting as a trustee of funds and documents in respect of consumer contracts on
behalf of institutional investors.

         SECTION 3.7. TRUSTEE TO MAINTAIN SECURE FACILITIES. The Trustee shall
maintain or cause to be maintained continuous custody of the Receivables Files
in secure and fire resistant facilities in accordance with customary standards
for such custody.

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

                   ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES
                   -------------------------------------------

         SECTION 4.1. DUTIES OF THE SERVICER. The Servicer, as agent for the
Purchaser, the Noteholder and the Insurer (to the extent provided herein) shall
manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables with
reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention customary and usual
for institutions which service motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts
similar to the Receivables and, to the extent more exacting, that the Servicer
exercises with respect to all comparable automotive receivables that it services
for itself or others. In performing such duties, the Servicer shall comply with
its current servicing policies and procedures, as such servicing policies and
procedures may be amended from time to time, so long as such amendments will not
materially adversely affect the interests of the Noteholder or the Insurer, and
notice of such amendments is given to the Insurer prior to the effectiveness
thereof. The Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting of all
payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating
delinquencies, sending payment statements to Obligors, reporting tax information
to Obligors, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual
statements to the Trustee and the Insurer with respect to distributions. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the servicing standards
set forth in this Agreement including, without limitation, the restrictions set
forth in SECTION 4.6, the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Purchaser
to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Purchaser or the Noteholder,
any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full
release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such
Receivables or to the Financed Vehicles securing such Receivables and/or the

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

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

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

         (a) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by
this Agreement, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and
when the same shall become due and shall follow such collection procedures as it
follows with respect to all comparable automotive receivables that it services
for itself or others; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that promptly after the Closing Date
(or the related Funding Date, as applicable) the Servicer shall notify each
Obligor to make all payments with respect to the Receivables to the Post-Office
Box. The Servicer will provide each Obligor with a monthly statement in order to
notify such Obligors to make payments directly to the Post-Office Box. The
Servicer shall allocate collections between principal and interest in accordance
with the customary servicing procedures it follows with respect to all
comparable automotive receivables that it services for itself or others and in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except as provided below, the
Servicer, for as long as the Seller is the Servicer, may, in accordance with the
applicable Seller's Contract Purchase Guidelines grant extensions on a
Receivable; provided, however, that the Servicer may not, without the prior
written consent of the Controlling Party, grant (x) more than one (1) extension
per calendar year with respect to a CPS Receivable or grant an extension with
respect to a CPS Receivable for more than one (1) calendar month or grant more
than three (3) extensions in the aggregate with respect to a CPS Receivable and
(y) more than two (2) extensions per calendar year with respect to a TFC
Receivable or grant an extension with respect to a TFC Receivable for more than
one (1) calendar month or grant more than four (4) extensions in the aggregate
with respect to a TFC Receivable. In no event shall the principal balance of a
Receivable be reduced, except in connection with a settlement in the event the
Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable. If the Servicer is not the Seller or
the Backup Servicer, the Servicer may not make any extension on a Receivable
without the prior written consent of the Controlling Party. The Servicer may in
its discretion waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other
similar fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a
Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Servicer shall not agree to any alteration of the interest rate on any
Receivable or of the amount of any Scheduled Receivable Payment on Receivables,
other than to the extent that such alteration is required by applicable law.

         (b) The Servicer shall establish the Lockbox Account in the name of the
Purchaser for the benefit of the Trustee, acting on behalf of the Noteholder and
the Insurer. Pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, the Trustee has authorized the
Servicer to direct dispositions of funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account to
the Collection Account (but not to any other account), and no other Person,
except the Lockbox Processor and the Trustee, has authority to direct
disposition of funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account. However, the Lockbox
Agreement shall provide that Lockbox Banks will comply with instructions
originated by the Trustee relating to the disposition of the funds in the
Lockbox Account without further consent by the Seller, the Servicer or the
Purchaser. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility with respect to
the Lockbox Processor's directions or activities as set forth in the preceding
sentence. The Lockbox Account shall be established pursuant to and maintained in
accordance with the Lockbox Agreement and shall be a demand deposit account
initially established and maintained with Bank One, N.A., or at the request of
the Controlling Party an Eligible Account satisfying CLAUSE (i) of the

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

definition thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee shall give the Servicer
prior written notice of any change made at the request of the Controlling Party
in the location of the Lockbox Account. The Trustee shall establish and maintain
the Post-Office Box at a United States Post Office Branch in the name of the
Purchaser for the benefit of the Noteholder and the Insurer.

         (c) Notwithstanding any Lockbox Agreement, or any of the provisions of
this Agreement relating to the Lockbox Agreement, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and liable to the Purchaser, the Trustee, the Insurer and the
Noteholder for servicing and administering the Receivables and the Other
Conveyed Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue thereof.

         (d) In the event the Seller shall for any reason no longer be acting as
the Servicer hereunder, the Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer shall
thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the outgoing Servicer
under the Lockbox Agreement. In such event, the Backup Servicer or a successor
Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the outgoing Servicer's interest
therein and to have replaced the outgoing Servicer as a party to the Lockbox
Agreement to the same extent as if such Lockbox Agreement had been assigned to
the Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer, except that the outgoing Servicer
shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations on the part of the
outgoing Servicer to the Lockbox Bank under such Lockbox Agreement. The outgoing
Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the outgoing
Servicer, deliver to the Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer all documents
and records relating to the Lockbox Agreement and an accounting of amounts
collected and held by the Lockbox Bank and otherwise use its best efforts to
effect the orderly and efficient assignment of any Lockbox Agreement to the
Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer. In the event that the Controlling Party
shall elect to change the identity of the Lockbox Bank, the Servicer, at its
expense, shall cause the Lockbox Bank to deliver, at the direction of the
Controlling Party, to the Trustee or a successor Lockbox Bank, all documents and
records relating to the Receivables and all amounts held (or thereafter
received) by the Lockbox Bank (together with an accounting of such amounts) and
shall otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of the Lockbox arrangements.

         (e) On each Business Day, pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, the
Lockbox Processor will transfer any payments from Obligors received in the
Post-Office Box to the Lockbox Account. The Servicer shall cause the Lockbox
Bank to transfer cleared funds from the Lockbox Account to the Collection
Account. In addition, the Servicer shall remit all payments by or on behalf of
the Obligors received by the Servicer with respect to the Receivables (other
than Purchased Receivables), and all Liquidation Proceeds no later than the
Business Day following receipt directly (without deposit into any intervening
account) into the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account. The Servicer shall
not commingle its assets and funds with those on deposit in the Lockbox Account.

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

         SECTION 4.4. INSURANCE.

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

         (b) To the extent applicable, the Servicer shall not take any action
which would result in noncoverage under any Receivables Insurance Policy which,
but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The
Servicer, on behalf of the Purchaser, shall take such reasonable action as shall
be necessary to permit recovery under each Receivables Insurance Policy. Any
amounts collected by the Servicer under any Receivables Insurance Policy shall
be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to SECTION 5.6.

         SECTION 4.5. MAINTENANCE OF SECURITY INTERESTS IN VEHICLES.

         (a) Consistent with the policies and procedures required by this
Agreement, the Servicer shall take such steps on behalf of the Purchaser as are
necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each
Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle, including but not limited to
obtaining the execution by the Obligors and the recording, registering, filing,
re-recording, re-registering and refiling of all security agreements, financing
statements and continuation statements or instruments as are necessary to
maintain the security interest granted by the Obligors under the respective
Receivables. The Trustee hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer
agrees, to take any and all steps necessary to re-perfect or continue the
perfection of such security interest on behalf of the Purchaser, the Noteholder
and the Insurer as necessary because of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or
for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the
Purchaser, and the pledge thereof by the Purchaser to the Trustee is
insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle's certificate
of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under
the laws of the state in which the Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a
security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Trustee, each
of the Trustee, the Noteholder, the Insurer and the Seller hereby agrees that
the designation of Seller or TFC (as applicable) as the secured party on the
certificate of title is in respect of the Seller's or TFC's capacity as Servicer
or subservicer, respectively, as agent of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholder and the Insurer.

         (b) Upon the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Event of Default, the
Insurer may (so long as it is the Controlling Party) instruct the Trustee and
the Servicer to take or cause to be taken, or, if the Insurer is not the
Controlling Party, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the
Trustee, and the Servicer shall take or cause to be taken such action as may, in
the opinion of counsel to the Trustee, which opinion shall not be an expense of
the Trustee, be necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security interests in the
Financed Vehicles securing the Receivables in the name of the Trustee on behalf
of the Noteholder and the Insurer by amending the title documents of such
Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable means as may, in the opinion of
counsel to the Trustee, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee, be
necessary or prudent. The Seller hereby agrees to pay all expenses related to
such perfection or re-perfection and to take all action necessary therefor. In
addition, prior to the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Event of Default,
the Controlling Party may instruct the Trustee and the Servicer to take or cause
to be taken such action as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Controlling
Party, be necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security interest in the
Financed Vehicles underlying the Receivables in the name of the Trustee on
behalf of the Noteholder and the Insurer, including by amending the title
documents of such Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable means as may, in
the opinion of counsel to the Controlling Party, be necessary or prudent;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Controlling Party requests that the title
documents be amended prior to the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Event of
Default, the out-of-pocket expenses of the Servicer or the Trustee in connection
with such action shall be reimbursed to the Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, by the Controlling Party.

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

         SECTION 4.6. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF SERVICER. The Servicer shall not
release the Financed Vehicle securing each Receivable from the security interest
granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except in the event of payment in
full by the Obligor thereunder or repossession or other liquidation of the
Financed Vehicle, nor shall the Servicer impair the rights of the Noteholder in
such Receivables, nor shall the Servicer amend or otherwise modify a Receivable,
except as permitted in accordance with SECTION 4.2. The Servicer shall obtain
and/or maintain all necessary licenses, approvals, authorizations, orders or
other actions of any person, corporation or other organization, or of any court,
governmental agency or body or official, required in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Basic
Documents.

         SECTION 4.7. PURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES UPON BREACH OF COVENANT. Upon
discovery by any of the Servicer, the Purchaser, the Insurer or the Trustee of a
breach of any of the covenants of the Servicer set forth in SECTION 4.2(a), 4.4,
4.5 or 4.6, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
to the others; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to give any such notice shall
not affect any obligation of the Servicer under this SECTION 4.7. Unless the
breach shall have been cured by the last day of the next Accrual Period
following such discovery, the Servicer shall purchase any Receivable materially
and adversely affected by such breach. In consideration of the purchase of such
Receivable, the Servicer shall remit the Purchase Amount for such Receivable in
the manner specified in SECTION 5.6. The sole remedy of the Trustee, the
Purchaser, the Insurer or the Noteholder with respect to a breach of SECTION
4.2(A), 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 shall be to require the Servicer to repurchase
Receivables pursuant to this SECTION 4.7; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer
shall indemnify the Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Insurer, the Purchaser,
the Agent and the Noteholder 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 4.8. SERVICING FEE. The "SERVICING FEE" for each Settlement
Date shall be equal to the product of one twelfth times the Servicing Fee
Percentage times the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Eligible Receivables as
of the first day of the related Accrual Period. The Servicing Fee shall also
include all late fees, prepayment charges including, in the case of a Rule of
78's Receivable that is prepaid in full, to the extent not required by law to be
remitted to the related Obligor, the difference between the Principal Balance of
such Rule of 78's Receivable (plus accrued interest to the date of prepayment)
and the principal balance of such Receivable computed according to the "Rule of
78's", and other administrative fees or similar charges allowed by applicable
law with respect to Receivables, collected (from whatever source) on the
Receivables. On each Settlement Date occurring after the date, if any, on which
CPS is terminated as Servicer pursuant to Section 10.2, the Servicing Fee
payable to the Backup Servicer or any other Person acting in the capacity of a
successor Servicer shall be calculated in accordance with the Fee Schedule.

         SECTION 4.9. SERVICER'S CERTIFICATE. No later than 9:00 am. Minneapolis
time on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver (facsimile delivery
being acceptable) to the Trustee, the Insurer, the Rating Agencies, the Agent
and the Purchaser, a Servicer's Certificate containing among other things, (i)
all information necessary to enable the Trustee to make any withdrawal and
deposit required by SECTION 5.5 and to make the distributions required by
SECTION 5.7, (ii) the total number of Receivable Files held (in whole or in
part) by the Servicer rather than the Trustee at the end of the applicable
Accrual Period, (iii) all information necessary for the Trustee to send
statements to the Noteholder and the Insurer pursuant to SECTION 5.8(B) and 5.9,
(iv) a listing of all Purchased Receivables purchased as of the related
Accounting Date, identifying the Receivables so purchased, (v) the calculation
of the CPS Borrowing Base and the TFC Borrowing Base and (vi) all information
necessary to enable the Backup Servicer to verify the information specified in
SECTION 4.14(B) and to complete the accounting required by SECTION 5.9,
including, to the extent necessary, a breakdown of the information relating to
the CPS Receivables and the TFC Receivables. Receivables purchased by the
Servicer or by the Seller from the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement
by the related Accounting Date and each Receivable which became a Liquidated
Receivable or which was paid in full during the related Accrual Period shall be

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

identified by account number (as set forth in the Schedule of Receivables). In
addition to the information set forth in the preceding sentence, the Servicer's
Certificate shall also state whether to the knowledge of the Servicer, an
Insurance Agreement Event of Default, an Insurance Agreement Indenture Cross
Default, a Servicer Termination Event, a Funding Termination Event or a TFC
Funding Termination Event has occurred.

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

         (a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser, to the Trustee for
delivery to the Agent and the Noteholder, the Backup Servicer, the Insurer, and
each Rating Agency, on or before February 28 of each year beginning February 28,
2003, an Officer's Certificate, dated as of December 31 of the preceding year,
stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding
12-month period (or, in the case of the first such certificate, the period from
the initial Cutoff Date to December 31, 2002) and of its performance under this
Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision and (ii) to the best of
such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all
its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year (or, in the case of
the first such certificate, such shorter period), or, if there has been a
default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default
known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

         (b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Agent and the
Noteholder, the Backup Servicer, the Insurer and each Rating Agency, promptly
after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than two (2)
Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officer's Certificate of any
event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a
Servicer Termination Event under SECTION 10.1.

         SECTION 4.11. INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORTS.

         (a) Unless the Backup Servicer is the Servicer, the Servicer shall
cause a firm of nationally recognized independent certified public accountants
(the "INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS"), who may also render other services to the
Servicer or to the Purchaser, to deliver to the Trustee, the Backup Servicer,
the Insurer, the Agent, the Noteholder and each Rating Agency, on or before
March 31 of each year beginning March 31, 2003, a report dated as of December 31
of the preceding year (the "ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT") and reviewing the Servicer's
activities during the preceding 12-month period (or, in the case of the first
such report, the period from the Cutoff Date with respect to Receivables
transferred to the Purchaser on the initial Funding Date to December 31, 2002),
addressed to the Board of Directors of the Servicer, to the Trustee, the Backup
Servicer and to the Insurer, to the effect that such firm has examined the
financial statements of the Servicer and issued its report therefor and that
such examination (1) was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and
such other auditing procedures as such firm considered necessary in the
circumstances; (2) included tests relating to auto loans serviced for others in
accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers (the "PROGRAM"), to the extent the procedures in the Program
are applicable to the servicing obligations set forth in this Agreement; (3)
included an examination of the delinquency and loss statistics relating to the
Servicer's portfolio of automobile and light truck installment sale contracts;
and (4) except as described in the report, disclosed no exceptions or errors in
the records relating to automobile and light truck loans serviced for others
that, in the firm's opinion, paragraph four of the Program requires such firm to
report. The accountant's report shall further state that (1) a review in
accordance with agreed upon procedures was made of three randomly selected
Servicer Certificates; (2) except as disclosed in the report, no exceptions or
errors in the Servicer Certificates were found; and (3) the delinquency and loss
information relating to the Receivables and the stated amount of Liquidated
Receivables, if any, contained in the Servicer Certificates were found to be
accurate. In the event such firm requires the Trustee and/or the Backup Servicer
to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the Servicer shall direct the
Trustee and/or the Backup Servicer, as applicable, in writing to so agree; it
being understood and agreed that the Trustee and/or the Backup Servicer will
deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of
the Servicer, and neither the Trustee nor the Backup Servicer makes any
independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or
liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such
procedures.

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

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

         (b) As soon as practical but not later than 30 days after the
Servicer's Certificate for the second Interest Period, a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants will perform certain agreed upon
procedures with respect to the accuracy of the Servicer's Certificates with
respect to the first two Interest Periods in relation to the Servicer's records
and files and the degree of the Servicer's compliance with respect to deadlines
for cash remittances to the Collection Account. If such review indicates a high
degree of accuracy in the Servicer's Certificate and a high degree of compliance
with respect to the remittance requirements, in each case in the reasonable
judgment of the Controlling Party, such firm will perform the same procedures on
a quarterly basis with respect to one Servicer's Certificate delivered during
the most recently ended quarter. If the review of the Servicer's Certificate for
the first two Interest Periods indicate a low degree of accuracy in the
reporting or adherence to such remittance requirements, such procedures will
continue at a frequency rate determined by the Controlling Party, until such
time as a high degree of accuracy has been obtained.

         SECTION 4.12. ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW OF RECEIVABLE FILES. Commencing on
June 30, 2002 and on each September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30, and
prior to the Final Scheduled Settlement Date (or such other dates as the
Controlling Party may determine in its sole and absolute discretion from time to
time by prior written notice to the Seller, the Servicer, the Purchaser, the
Agent and the Trustee), the Seller at its own expense shall cause Independent
Accountants acceptable to the Controlling Party to conduct a post-funding review
of the Seller's compliance with its stated underwriting policies and verify
certain characteristics of the Receivables as of each Funding Date. The
Independent Accountants shall within ten Business Days complete such physical
inspection and limited review and execute and deliver to Seller, the Servicer,
the Purchaser, the Trustee, the Insurer and the Agent an Independent
Accountant's Report with respect to such review substantially in the form of
EXHIBIT E hereto. If such review reveals, in the Controlling Party's reasonable
opinion, an unsatisfactory number of exceptions, the Controlling Party, in its
sole and absolute discretion, may require a full review of every Receivable File
by the Independent Accounts at the expense of the Seller. The Trustee must
receive no less than 5 Business Days' prior written notice of any review of the
Receivables Files under this SECTION 4.12. The Servicer shall be required to pay
any and all costs incurred by the Trustee in connection with any such review.

         SECTION 4.13. ACCESS TO CERTAIN DOCUMENTATION AND INFORMATION REGARDING
RECEIVABLES. The Servicer shall provide to representatives of the Trustee, the
Backup Servicer, the Insurer and the Agent reasonable access to the
documentation regarding the Receivables. In each case, such access shall be
afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal
business hours. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of
the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as
provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a
breach of this Section.

         SECTION 4.14. VERIFICATION OF SERVICER'S CERTIFICATE.

         (a) Concurrently with the delivery by the Servicer of the Servicer's
Certificate each month, the Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and the Backup
Servicer a computer diskette (or other electronic transmission) in a format
acceptable to the Trustee and the Backup Servicer containing information with
respect to the Receivables as of the close of business on the last day of the
preceding Interest Period which information is necessary for preparation of the
Servicer's Certificate. The Backup Servicer shall use such computer diskette (or
other electronic transmission) to verify certain information specified in
SECTION 4.14(b) contained in the Servicer's Certificate delivered by the
Servicer, and the Backup Servicer shall notify the Servicer and the Insurer of
any discrepancies on or before the second Business Day following the
Determination Date. In the event that the Backup Servicer reports any
discrepancies, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer shall attempt to reconcile
such discrepancies by the related Settlement Date, but in the absence of a
reconciliation, the Servicer's Certificate shall control for the purpose of
calculations and distributions with respect to the related Settlement Date. In
the event that the Backup Servicer and the Servicer are unable to reconcile
discrepancies with respect to a Servicer's Certificate by the related Settlement
Date, the Backup Servicer shall notify the Insurer and the Agent thereof in
writing and the Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

accountants, at the Servicer's expense, to audit the Servicer's Certificate and,
prior to the fifth day of the following calendar month, reconcile the
discrepancies. The effect, if any, of such reconciliation shall be reflected in
the Servicer's Certificate for such next succeeding Determination Date. Other
than the duties specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Backup Servicer
shall have no obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, to
supervise, verify, monitor or administer the performance of the Servicer. The
Backup Servicer shall have no liability for any actions taken or omitted by the
Servicer. The duties and obligations of the Backup Servicer shall be determined
solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Backup Servicer.

         (b) The Backup Servicer shall review each Servicer's Certificate
delivered pursuant to SECTION 4.14(a) and shall:

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

                  (ii) load the computer diskette (which shall be in a format
         acceptable to the Backup Servicer) received from the Servicer pursuant
         to SECTION 4.14(A) hereof, confirm that such computer diskette is in a
         readable form and calculate and confirm the Aggregate Principal Balance
         of all Receivables for the most recent Settlement Date; and

                  (iii) confirm that Available Funds, the Noteholder's Principal
         Distributable Amount, the Noteholder's Interest Distributable Amount,
         the Servicing Fee, the Backup Servicing Fee, the Trustee Fee, the Owner
         Trustee Fee, the Premium in the Servicer's Certificate are accurate
         based solely on the recalculation of the Servicer's Certificate.

         SECTION 4.15. RETENTION AND TERMINATION OF SERVICER. As long as the
Seller acts as Servicer, the Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to act as such
under this Agreement for an initial term commencing on the Closing Date and
ending on June 30, 2002, which term may be extended by the Controlling Party for
successive quarterly terms ending on each successive September 30, December 31,
March 31 and June 30 (or, at the discretion of the Controlling Party exercised
pursuant to revocable written standing instructions from time to time to the
Servicer and the Trustee, for any specified number of terms greater than one),
until such time as the Note have been paid in full, and all amounts due to the
Insurer have been paid in full. Each such notice (including each notice pursuant
to standing instructions, which shall be deemed delivered at the end of
successive terms for so long as such instructions are in effect) (a "SERVICER
EXTENSION NOTICE") shall be delivered by the Controlling Party to the Trustee
and the Servicer. The Servicer hereby agrees that, upon its receipt of any such
Servicer Extension Notice, the Servicer shall become bound, for the duration of
the term covered by such Servicer Extension Notice, to continue as the Servicer
subject to and in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. Until
such time as an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee agrees that if as of the fifteenth day prior to the last day of any term
of the Servicer, the Trustee shall not have received any Servicer Extension
Notice from the Controlling Party, the Trustee shall, within five days
thereafter, give written notice of such non-receipt to the Controlling Party. If
the Controlling Party does not deliver a Servicer Extension Notice to the
Trustee and the Servicer on or prior to the last day of any term of the
Servicer, the Person then acting as Servicer shall, unless otherwise agreed to
in writing by the Controlling Party, cease to be the Servicer hereunder in
accordance with SECTION 10.3.

         SECTION 4.16. FIDELITY BOND. The Servicer shall maintain a fidelity
bond in such form and amount as is customary for entities acting as custodian of
funds and documents in respect of consumer contracts on behalf of institutional
investors.

         SECTION 4.17. LIEN SEARCHES; OPINIONS AS TO TRANSFERS AND SECURITY
INTERESTS. The Servicer shall, on the Closing Date and, thereafter annually on
or before each anniversary of the Closing Date, deliver (or cause to be
delivered) to the Trustee, the Insurer and the Agent an Opinion of Counsel, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Insurer, with respect to (a) the "true
sale" nature of the transfers of Receivables and, to the extent applicable,
related Other Conveyed Property hereunder and under each related Assignment, (b)
the "backup security interest" with respect to the transfers of Receivables and,
to the extent applicable, related Other Conveyed Property hereunder and under

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

each related Assignment, (c) the validity of the security interest in connection
with the pledge of Collateral to the Trustee under the Indenture on each Funding
Date and (d) the perfection and first priority of the transfers and pledges
referred to in CLAUSES (a)-(c) above. To the extent each such Opinion of Counsel
is in any manner reliant on UCC lien searches, each such UCC lien search shall
be dated no earlier than ten Business Days prior to the date of each such
related Opinion of Counsel, and shall be accompanied by officer's certificates
from the appropriate parties certifying that no filings subsequent to the date
of such lien searches have been made. Such Opinion of Counsel shall state, among
other things, that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing
statements and continuation statements have been authorized and filed that are
necessary to perfect the interest of the Purchaser and the Trustee in the
Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior
Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (B) no such action shall
be necessary to preserve and protect such interest. The Opinion of Counsel
referred to in this SECTION 4.17 shall specify any action necessary (as of the
date of such opinion) to be taken to preserve and protect such interest.

         SECTION 4.18. SUBSERVICING ARRANGEMENTS.The Servicer may arrange for
the subservicing of all or any portion of the Receivables by a subservicer;
provided, however, that such subservicing arrangement must provide for the
servicing of such Receivables in a manner consistent with the servicing
arrangements contemplated hereunder; provided, further, that any such
subservicing arrangement with a Person that is not an Affiliate of CPS shall
require the prior written consent of the Insurer and the Noteholder. Unless the
context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to
be taken by the Servicer in servicing the Receivables include actions taken or
to be taken by a subservicer on behalf of the Servicer. Notwithstanding the
provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a
subservicer or reference to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise,
the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Purchaser, the Trustee,
the Backup Servicer, the Agent, the Insurer and the Noteholders for the
servicing and administration of the Receivables 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 the subservicer and to the same extent and under the same
terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Receivables. All actions of each subservicer performed pursuant to a
subservicing arrangement shall be performed as an agent of the Servicer with the
same force and effect as if performed directly by the Servicer. The subservicer
under each subservicing arrangement shall be engaged by the Servicer upon terms
consistent with the engagement of the Servicer hereunder. Each subservicer shall
be simultaneously terminated in the event that the Servicer is terminated
hereunder. In addition, if a subservicing arrangement relates to TFC
Receivables, the related subservicer may be terminated by the Insurer upon the
occurrence of a TFC Funding Termination Event. The fees paid by the Servicer to

         SECTION 5.1. ESTABLISHMENT OF PLEDGED ACCOUNTS.

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

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

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

         (c) The Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholder and the Insurer shall
establish and maintain in its own name an Eligible Account (the "PRINCIPAL
FUNDING ACCOUNT"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds
deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the
Noteholder and the Insurer. The Principal Funding Account shall initially be
established with the Trustee.

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

         (e) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Principal Funding
Account, the Reserve Account and the Note Distribution Account (collectively,
the "PLEDGED ACCOUNTS") shall be invested by the Trustee (or any custodian with
respect to funds on deposit in any such account) in Eligible Investments
selected in writing by the Servicer or, if the Backup Servicer is then acting as
the Servicer, by the Controlling Party (pursuant to standing instructions or
otherwise). All such Eligible Investments shall be held by or on behalf of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholder and the Insurer, as applicable. Other
than as permitted by the Rating Agencies and the Controlling Party, funds on
deposit in any Pledged Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that
will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the
Business Day immediately preceding the following Draw Date. Funds deposited in a
Pledged Account on the day immediately preceding a Settlement Date upon the
maturity of any Eligible Investments are not required to be invested overnight.
All Eligible Investments will be held to maturity.

         (f) All investment earnings of moneys deposited in the Pledged Accounts
shall be deposited (or caused to be deposited) by the Trustee in the Collection
Account for distribution pursuant to SECTION 5.7(a), and any loss resulting from
such investments shall be charged to such account. The Servicer will not direct
the Trustee to make any investment of any funds held in any of the Pledged
Accounts unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account will
continue to be perfected in such investment, in either case without any further
action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Trustee to
make any such investment, if requested by the Trustee, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Trustee, to such
effect.

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

         (h) If (i) the Servicer or the Controlling Party, as applicable, shall
have failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit in the
Pledged Accounts to the Trustee by 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as
may be agreed by the Purchaser and Trustee) on any Business Day; or (ii) an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Note
but the Note shall not have been declared due and payable, or, if the Note shall
have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default, amounts
collected or receivable from the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property are
being applied as if there had not been such a declaration; then the Trustee
shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the
Pledged Accounts in an Eligible Investment described in PARAGRAPH (f) the
definition thereof.

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

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

         (k) With respect to the Pledged Account Property, the Trustee agrees
that:

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

                  (ii) any Pledged Account Property shall be delivered to the
         Trustee in accordance with the definition of "DELIVERY".

                  (iii) the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the
         Controlling Party to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and
         payments from the Pledged Accounts for the purpose of permitting the
         Servicer and the Trustee to carry out their respective duties
         hereunder.

         SECTION 5.2. [RESERVED]

         SECTION 5.3. CERTAIN REIMBURSEMENTS TO THE SERVICER. The Servicer will
be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account
with respect to an Accrual Period for amounts previously deposited in the
Collection Account but later determined by the Servicer to have resulted from
mistaken deposits or postings or checks returned for insufficient funds. The
amount to be reimbursed hereunder shall be paid to the Servicer on the related
Settlement Date pursuant to SECTION 5.7(a)(iii) upon certification by the
Servicer of such amounts and the provision of such information to the Trustee
and the Controlling Party as may be necessary in the opinion of the Controlling
Party to verify the accuracy of such certification; provided, however, that the
Servicer must provide such certification within three months of it becoming
aware of such mistaken deposit, posting or returned check. In the event that the
Controlling Party has not received evidence satisfactory to it of the Servicer's
entitlement to reimbursement pursuant to this Section, the Controlling Party
shall give the Trustee notice to such effect, following receipt of which the
Trustee shall not make a distribution to the Servicer in respect of such amount
pursuant to SECTION 5.7, or if prior thereto the Servicer has been reimbursed
pursuant to SECTION 5.7, the Trustee shall withhold such amounts from amounts
otherwise distributable to the Servicer on the next succeeding Settlement Date.

         SECTION 5.4. APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS. All collections for each
Accrual Period shall be applied by the Servicer as follows:

         With respect to each Receivable (other than a Purchased Receivable),
payments by or on behalf of the Obligor shall be applied, in the case of a Rule
of 78's Receivable, first, to the Scheduled Receivable Payment of such Rule of
78's Receivable and, second, to any late fees accrued with respect to such Rule
of 78's Receivable and, in the case of a Simple Interest Receivable, to interest
and principal in accordance with the Simple Interest Method.

         SECTION 5.5. RESERVE ACCOUNT.

         (a) The Reserve Account will be held for the benefit of the Noteholder
and the Insurer. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deposit or
cause to be deposited into the Reserve Account an amount equal to the Required
Reserve Account Amount. On each Funding Date, the Purchaser shall deposit a
portion of the related Advance into the Reserve Account until the amount on
deposit in the Reserve Account equals the Required Reserve Account Amount.

                                      -23-

         (b) In the event that the Servicer's Certificate with respect to any
Determination Date shall state that the Available Funds with respect to the
related Settlement Date are insufficient to make the payments required to be
made on the related Settlement Date pursuant to SECTIONS 5.7(a)(ii) through
(VIII) and (X) (such deficiency being a "DEFICIENCY CLAIM AMOUNT"), then on the
Deficiency Claim Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Insurer, and the
Servicer, by hand delivery, telex or facsimile transmission, a written notice (a
"DEFICIENCY NOTICE") specifying the Deficiency Claim Amount for such Settlement
Date. Such Deficiency Notice shall direct the Trustee to remit such Deficiency
Claim Amount (to the extent of the funds available on deposit in the Reserve
Account) for deposit in the Collection Account on the related Settlement Date
and distribution pursuant to SECTIONS 5.7(a)(ii) through (viii) and (x), as
applicable.

         (c) Any Deficiency Notice shall be delivered by 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the Deficiency Claim Date. The amounts distributed to the Trustee
pursuant to a Deficiency Notice shall be deposited by the Trustee into the
Collection Account pursuant to SECTION 5.6.

         (d) Following the Facility Termination Date, if the Controlling Party
elects, all amounts, or any portion thereof, on deposit in the Reserve Account
will be deposited into the Collection Account for distribution pursuant to
Section 5.7.

         (e) On any Settlement Date on which, after all distributions required
to be made on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 5.7(a) have been made,
the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account exceeds the Required Reserve
Account Amount, the Trustee shall withdraw such excess and distribute the same
to the Purchaser or its designee.

         SECTION 5.6. ADDITIONAL DEPOSITS. The Servicer or the Seller, as the
case may be, shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account
the aggregate Purchase Amount with respect to Purchased Receivables together
with any proceeds from any Receivables Insurance Policies received by the
Servicer with respect to Financed Vehicles. All such deposits shall be made, in
immediately available funds, on the Business Day preceding the related

Collection Account any amounts withdrawn from the Reserve Account pursuant to
SECTION 5.5.

for deposit into the Collection Account for any of the following purposes: (i)
to provide funds in respect of the payment of fees or expenses of any provider

                                   ----------

                   THE NOTE POLICY CLAIMS UNDER NOTE POLICY.
                   -----------------------------------------

         (a) In the event that the Trustee has delivered a Deficiency Notice
with respect to any Determination Date pursuant to SECTION 5.5 hereof, the
Trustee shall on the related Draw Date determine whether the application of
funds in accordance with SECTION 5.7(a), together with any amounts deposited by
the Insurer pursuant to SECTION 5.10 and the application of any Deficiency Claim

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

Amount pursuant to SECTION 5.5 would result in a shortfall in amounts
distributable pursuant to SECTIONS 5.7(a)(iv) on any Settlement Date and
5.7(a)(vii) on any Settlement Date occurring on or after the Final Scheduled
Settlement Date (any such shortfall, a "NOTE POLICY CLAIM AMOUNT"). If the Note
Policy Claim Amount for such Settlement Date is greater than zero, the Trustee
shall furnish to the Insurer no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the
related Draw Date a completed Payment Notice (as defined in CLAUSE (b) below) in
the amount of the Note Policy Claim Amount. Amounts paid by the Insurer pursuant
to a claim submitted under this SECTION 6.1 shall be deposited by the Trustee
into the Note Distribution Account for payment to the Noteholder on the related
Settlement Date.

         (b) Any notice delivered by the Trustee to the Insurer pursuant to
SECTION 6.1(a) shall specify the Note Policy Claim Amount claimed under the Note
Policy and shall constitute a "PAYMENT NOTICE" (as defined in the Note Policy)
under the Note Policy. In accordance with the provisions of the Note Policy, the
Insurer is required to pay to the Trustee the Note Policy Claim Amount properly
claimed thereunder by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the later of (i) the
next Business Day (as defined in the Note Policy) following receipt on a
Business Day of the Payment Notice, and (ii) the applicable Settlement Date. Any
payment made under the Note Policy by the Insurer shall be applied solely to the
payment of the Note, and for no other purpose.

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

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

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

         SECTION 6.2. PREFERENCE CLAIMS.

         (a) In the event that the Trustee has received a certified copy of an
order of the appropriate court that any Scheduled Payment (as defined in the
Note Policy) paid on the Note has been avoided in whole or in part as a
preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Trustee shall so notify
the Insurer, shall comply with the provisions of the Note Policy to obtain
payment by the Insurer of such avoided payment, and shall, at the time it
provides notice to the Insurer, notify the Noteholder by mail that, in the event
that the Noteholder's payment is so recoverable, the Noteholder will be entitled
to payment pursuant to the terms of the Note Policy. The Trustee shall furnish
to the Insurer its records evidencing the payments of principal of and interest
on Note, if any, which have been made by the Trustee and subsequently recovered
from the Noteholder, and the dates on which such payments were made. Pursuant to
the terms of the Note Policy, the Insurer will make such payment on behalf of
the Noteholder to the Trustee on behalf of the applicable "Owner" as defined in
the Note Policy.

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

         (b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Insurer of any proceeding or
the institution of any action (of which the Trustee has actual knowledge)
seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law (a "PREFERENCE CLAIM")
of any distribution made with respect to the Note. The Holder, by its purchase
of the Note, and the Trustee hereby agrees that so long as it is the Controlling
Party, the Insurer may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding
relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference
Claim including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any
order relating to any Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety,
supersedeas or performance bond pending any such appeal at the expense of the
Insurer, but subject to reimbursement as provided in the Insurance Agreement. In
addition, and without limitation of the foregoing, as set forth in SECTION
6.1(c), the Insurer shall be subrogated to, and the Noteholder and the Trustee
hereby delegate and assign, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights
of the Trustee and the Noteholder in the conduct of any proceeding with respect
to a Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to
an adversary proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in
connection with any such Preference Claim.

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

provisions of SECTION 9.3, neither the Servicer nor the Backup Servicer shall
resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as
Servicer or Backup Servicer except (i) upon a determination that by reason of a
change in legal requirements the performance of its duties under this Agreement
would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which
would have a material adverse effect on the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as
the case may be, and the Controlling Party does not elect to waive the

                                      -40-

(1) to the Servicer by the Trustee or the Controlling Party or (2) to the

evidencing not less than 25% of the Invested Amount of the Note; or

         (d) The occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer
or the Seller (or, so long as the Seller is Servicer any of the Servicer's
Affiliates); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that none of the events described in this CLAUSE
(D) shall constitute a Servicer Termination Event if it relates solely to an
Affiliate of the Servicer that is currently the subject of any such proceeding
or receivership described above; or

         (e) Any representation, warranty or statement of the Servicer made in
this Agreement (without regard to any exception relating to the Stanwich Case)
or any certificate, report or other writing delivered pursuant hereto shall
prove to be incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall

         (g) an Event of Default shall have occurred; or

         (h) A claim is made under the Note Policy.

         SECTION 10.2. CONSEQUENCES OF A SERVICER TERMINATION EVENT. If a
Servicer Termination Event shall occur and be continuing, the Controlling Party
by notice given in writing to the Servicer, or by non-extension of the term of
the Servicer as referred to in SECTION 4.15, may terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. The outgoing Servicer shall be
entitled to its pro rata share of the Servicing Fee for the number of days in
the Accrual Period prior to the effective date of its termination. On or after
the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice or upon termination of the
term of the Servicer, all authority, power, obligations and responsibilities of
the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Note or the
Receivables and Other Conveyed Property or otherwise, automatically shall pass
to, be vested in and become obligations and responsibilities of the Backup
Servicer (or such other successor Servicer appointed by the Controlling Party
under SECTION 10.3); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the successor Servicer shall have
no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed
by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the successor Servicer becomes
the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or
inaction of the terminated Servicer. The successor Servicer is authorized and
empowered by this Agreement to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated
Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed
Property and related documents to show the Purchaser as lienholder or secured

                                      -42-
<PAGE>

party on the related Lien Certificates, or otherwise. The terminated Servicer
agrees to cooperate with the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of
the responsibilities and rights of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Servicer for
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the
terminated Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the terminated
Servicer, in the Collection Account or thereafter received with respect to the
Receivables and the delivery to the successor Servicer of all Receivable Files
that shall at the time be held by the terminated Servicer and a computer tape in
readable form as of the most recent Business Day containing all information
necessary to enable the successor Servicer to service the Receivables and the
Other Conveyed Property. All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with transferring any Receivable Files
to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession
as Servicer pursuant to this SECTION 10.2 shall be paid by the predecessor
Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and
expenses. In addition, any successor Servicer shall be entitled to payment from
the immediate predecessor Servicer for reasonable transition expenses incurred
in connection with acting as successor Servicer, and to the extent not so paid,
such payment shall be made pursuant to SECTION 5.7 hereof. Upon receipt of
notice of the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Trustee shall give
notice thereof to the Rating Agencies and the Noteholder. If requested by the
Controlling Party, the successor Servicer shall terminate the Lockbox Agreement
and direct the Obligors to make all payments under the Receivables directly to
the successor Servicer (in which event the successor Servicer shall process such
payments in accordance with SECTION 4.2(e)), or to a lockbox established by the
successor Servicer at the direction of the Controlling Party, at the successor
Servicer's expense. The terminated Servicer shall grant the Trustee, the
successor Servicer and the Controlling Party reasonable access to the terminated
Servicer's premises at the terminated Servicer's expense.

         SECTION 10.3. APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

         (a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to SECTION 10.2, upon non-extension of the servicing term as referred
to in SECTION 4.15, or upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to SECTION
9.6, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as
Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date
specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a
notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of
expiration and non-renewal of the term of the Servicer upon the expiration of
such term, and, in the case of resignation, until the later of (x) the date 45
days from the delivery to the Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or
written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and (y) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become
unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and
accompanying Opinion of Counsel; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer shall not
be relieved of its duties, obligations and liabilities as Servicer until a
successor Servicer has assumed such duties, obligations and liabilities.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Backup Servicer or any other
successor Servicer shall not have assumed the duties, obligations and
liabilities or Servicer within 45 days of the termination, non-extension or
resignation described in this SECTION 10.3, the Servicer may petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint any Eligible Servicer as the successor to the
Servicer. Pending appointment as successor Servicer, Backup Servicer (or such
other Person as shall have been appointed by the Controlling Party) shall act as
successor Servicer unless it is legally unable to do so, in which event the
outgoing Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been
appointed and accepted such appointment. In the event of termination of the
Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Backup Servicer shall
assume the obligations of Servicer hereunder on the date specified in such
written notice (the "ASSUMPTION DATE") pursuant to the Servicing and Lockbox
Processing Assumption Agreement or, in the event that the Controlling Party
shall have determined that a Person other than the Backup Servicer shall be the
successor Servicer in accordance with SECTION 10.2, on the date of the execution
of a written assumption agreement by such Person to serve as successor Servicer.
Notwithstanding the Backup Servicer's assumption of, and its agreement to
perform and observe, all duties, responsibilities and obligations of the Seller
as Servicer, or any successor Servicer, under this Agreement arising on and
after the Assumption Date, the Backup Servicer shall not be deemed to have
assumed or to become liable for, or otherwise have any liability for any duties,
responsibilities, obligations or liabilities of (i) the Seller or any other
Servicer arising on or before the Assumption Date, whether provided for by the
terms of this Agreement, arising by operation of law or otherwise, including,
without limitation, any liability for any duties, responsibilities, obligations
or liabilities of the Seller or any other Servicer arising on or before the
Assumption Date under SECTION 4.7 or 9.2 of this Agreement, regardless of when
the liability, duty, responsibility or obligation of the Seller or any other
Servicer therefor arose, whether provided by the terms of this Agreement,
arising by operation of law or otherwise, or (ii) under SECTION 9.2(a)(ii), (iv)
or (v). Notwithstanding the above, if the Backup Servicer shall be legally

                                      -43-
<PAGE>

unable or unwilling to act as Servicer, and an Insurer Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Backup Servicer, the Trustee or a Note Majority
may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any Eligible Servicer
as the successor to the Servicer. Pending appointment pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the Backup Servicer shall act as successor Servicer unless it is
legally unable to do so, in which event the outgoing Servicer shall continue to
act as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such
appointment. Subject to SECTION 9.6, no provision of this Agreement shall be
construed as relieving the Backup Servicer of its obligation to succeed as
successor Servicer upon the termination of the Servicer pursuant to SECTION
10.2, the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to SECTION 9.6 or the
non-extension of the servicing term of the Servicer, as referred to in SECTION
4.15. If upon the termination of the Servicer pursuant to SECTION 10.2 or the
resignation of the Servicer pursuant to SECTION 9.6, the Controlling Party
appoints a successor Servicer other than the Backup Servicer, the Backup
Servicer shall not be relieved of its duties as Backup Servicer hereunder.

         (b) Any successor Servicer shall be entitled to such compensation
(whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer
would have been entitled to under this Agreement if the Servicer had not
resigned or been terminated hereunder.

         SECTION 10.4. NOTIFICATION TO NOTEHOLDERS AND THE AGENT. Upon any
termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer, the Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholder, the Agent and to the
Rating Agencies.

         SECTION 10.5. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. The Controlling Party may, waive
in writing any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations
under this Agreement and the consequences thereof (except a default in making
any required deposits to or payments from any of the Pledged Accounts in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement). Upon any such waiver of a past
default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of
this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or impair any right consequent thereto.

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

         SECTION 10.7. CONTINUED ERRORS. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, if the Backup Servicer becomes successor Servicer it is
authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting, records (including
computer records) and work of the prior Servicer relating to the Receivables
(collectively, the "PREDECESSOR SERVICER WORK PRODUCT") without any audit or
other examination thereof, and the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer shall
have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions
of the prior Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or
non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, "ERRORS") exist in any
Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors make it materially more
difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the Backup
Servicer as successor Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively,
"CONTINUED ERRORS"), the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer shall have no
duty or responsibility, for such Continued Errors; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Backup Servicer as successor Servicer agrees to use its best efforts to prevent
further Continued Errors. In the event that the Backup Servicer as successor
Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, the Backup Servicer as
successor Servicer shall, with the prior consent of the Controlling Party use
its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially
reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future
Continued Errors. The Backup Servicer as successor Servicer shall be entitled to
recover its costs thereby expended in accordance with SECTION 5.7(a)(xvi)
hereof.

         (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this
Agreement has been executed and delivered by Wells Fargo Bank, National

with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its
obligations hereunder. Unless expressly authorized by this Agreement, the
Servicer shall have no authority to act for or represent the Purchaser in any
way and shall not otherwise be deemed an agent of the Purchaser.

         SECTION 11.14. NO JOINT VENTURE. Nothing contained in this Agreement
(i) shall constitute the Servicer and the Purchaser as members of any
partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or
other separate entity, (ii) shall be construed to impose any liability as such

of the Note held by it acknowledges that the Trustee, as partial consideration
for the issuance of the Note Policy, has agreed that the Insurer shall have
certain rights hereunder for so long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred
and be continuing. So long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing,
except as otherwise specifically provided herein, whenever Noteholder action,

has occurred and is continuing, any provision giving the Insurer the right to
direct, appoint or consent to, approve of, or take any action under this

give or withhold any consent hereunder in its sole and absolute discretion.

         SECTION 11.16. SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT. If any party to this

sufficient to amend this Agreement without such party's signature.

         SECTION 11.17. LIMITED RECOURSE. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of the Purchaser hereunder
are solely the corporate obligations of the Purchaser, and shall be payable by
the Purchaser, solely as provided herein. The Purchaser shall only be required
to pay (a) any fees, expenses, indemnities or other liabilities that it may
incur hereunder (i) from funds available pursuant to, and in accordance with,
the payment priorities set forth in SECTION 5.7(a) and (ii) only to the extent
the Purchaser receives additional funds 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 the Purchaser incurred in accordance with the
Purchaser's limited liability company agreement and all financing documents to
which the Purchaser is a party. In addition, no amount owing by the Purchaser
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, the Purchaser arising out of or based

director or authorized person of the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof;

entity of any liability they might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent
actions or omissions taken by them.

acknowledge and consent to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association acting in the

Fargo Bank, National Association in such multiple capacities shall not be
subject to any claim, defense or liability arising from its performance in any
such capacity based on conflict of interest principles, duty of loyalty
principles or other breach of fiduciary duties to the extent that any such
conflict or breach arises from the performance by Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association of any other such capacity or capacities in accordance with this
Agreement or any other Basic Documents to which it is a party.

responsibilities of the Seller, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer
and the Trustee created hereby shall terminate on the Termination Date;

with respect to the payments pursuant to this SECTION 11.19. The Servicer shall
promptly notify the Trustee, the Seller, the Issuer, each Rating Agency and the
Insurer of any prospective termination pursuant to this SECTION 11.19.

the Collateral shall remain in full force and effect after giving effect to the
