any agreement, document or instrument related thereto.

consideration of the sale of the Subsequent Sold Assets sold to the Purchaser on

                    REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

     SECTION 3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Originator. The
Originator makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing
Date and as of each Funding Date on which the Purchaser will be deemed to have
relied in acquiring the Sold Assets. The

                                                                  Sale Agreement

                                       -2-

<PAGE>

representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and will survive the conveyance of the Sold Assets to the Purchaser,
the conveyance of the Transferred Assets to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:

     (a) Existence and Power. The Originator is a limited liability company
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of
organization and has, in all material respects, full power and authority to own
its assets and operate its business as presently owned or operated, and to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to
which it is a party or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the
Receivables or any other part of the Sold Assets. The Originator has obtained
all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to
do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Originator to
perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the
enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the
Sold Assets.

     (b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and
performance by the Originator of the Transaction Documents to which it is a
party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the
Originator and do not contravene or constitute a default under (i) any
applicable law, rule or regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or (iii)
any material indenture or material agreement or instrument to which the
Originator is a party or by which its properties are bound (other than
violations of such laws, rules, regulations, indentures or agreements which do
not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements
and which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely
affect the transactions contemplated by, or the Originator's ability to perform
its obligations under, the Transaction Documents).

     (c) No Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with,
any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance by the Originator of any Transaction Document other
than (i) UCC filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously
been obtained and filings that have previously been made and (iii) approval,
authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a
material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectibility of the
Receivables or any other part of the Sold Assets or would materially and
adversely affect the ability of the Originator to perform its obligations under
the Transaction Documents.

     (d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Originator is a
party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Originator
enforceable against the Originator in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and, if applicable, the
rights of creditors of limited liability companies from time to time in effect
or by general principles of equity.

     (e) No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or,
to the knowledge of the Originator, threatened against the Originator before or
by any Governmental Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or unenforceability
of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seek to
prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of

                                                                  Sale Agreement

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents, (iii) seek any determination or ruling that would
materially and adversely affect the performance by the Originator of its
obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or
have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders, or (iv) relate to the
Originator that would materially and adversely affect the federal or Applicable
Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the Notes.

     (f) Lien Filings. The Originator is not aware of any material judgment,
ERISA or tax lien filings against the Originator.

     SECTION 3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Originator as to each
Receivable. On the date hereof or on each Funding Date, as the case may be, the
Originator hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule
I to the Sale and Servicing Agreement as to the Receivables sold, transferred,
assigned and otherwise conveyed to the Purchaser under this Agreement on which
such representations and warranties the Purchaser relies in acquiring the
Receivables. Such representations and warranties as to each Receivable relate to
the characteristics of such Receivable as of the applicable Cut-Off Date for
such Receivable (unless Schedule I to the Sale and Servicing Agreement
specifically identifies a different date as applying to a particular
representation or warranty), but shall survive the sale of such Receivables to
the Seller under the Purchase Agreement, to the Issuer under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, and the Grant of the Receivables by the Issuer to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding any statement to
the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the
Originator shall not be required to notify any insurer with respect to any
Insurance Policy obtained by an Obligor or to notify any Dealer about any aspect
of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

     SECTION 3.3 Repurchase upon Breach. Upon discovery by or notice to the
Purchaser or the Originator of a breach of any of the representations and
warranties referred to in Section 3.2 at the time such representations and
warranties were made which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Issuer or the Noteholders, the party discovering such breach or receiving such
notice shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party; provided,
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the
Originator hereunder. If the Originator does not correct or cure such breach
prior to the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if
the Seller elects, an earlier date) after the date that the Originator became
aware or was notified of such breach, then the Originator shall purchase any
Receivable affected by such breach which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Issuer and the Noteholders from the Purchaser on the Payment
Date following the end of such Collection Period. Any such breach or failure
will not be deemed to have a material and adverse effect if such breach or
failure does not affect the ability of the Purchaser (or its assignee) to
receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase
by the Originator shall be at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. In
consideration for such repurchase, the Originator shall make (or shall cause to
be made) a payment to the Purchaser equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing
such amount into the Collection Account prior to noon, New York City time on
such Payment Date. Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by the Originator, the
Purchaser shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of
release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or
representation, as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Originator or
its designee any Receivable repurchased

                                                                  Sale Agreement

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the
Originator to purchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the
sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Purchaser.

     SECTION 3.4 Protection of Title.

     (a) The Originator shall authorize and file such financing statements and
cause to be authorized and filed such continuation and other statements, all in
such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve,
maintain and protect the interest of the Purchaser under this Agreement in the
Receivables. The Originator shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the
Purchaser file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as
provided above, as soon as available following such filing.

     (b) The Originator shall not change its name, identity, organizational
structure or jurisdiction of organization in any manner that would make any
financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Originator in
accordance with paragraph (a) above "seriously misleading" within the meaning of
Sections 9-506, 9-507 or 9-508 of the UCC, unless it shall have given the
Purchaser at least five days' prior written notice thereof and, to the extent
necessary, shall have promptly filed amendments to previously filed financing
statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (a) above.

     (c) The Originator shall give the Purchaser at least five days' prior
written notice of any change of location of the Originator for purposes of
Section 9-307 of the UCC and shall have taken all action prior to making such
change (or shall have made arrangements to take such action substantially
simultaneously with such change, if it is not possible to take such action in
advance) reasonably necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Purchaser to
amend all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements
described in paragraph (a) above.

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

     SECTION 3.5 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances and grants
of security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, the Originator shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the
Receivables or other property transferred to the Purchaser to any other Person,
or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than
Permitted Liens) on any interest therein, and the Originator shall defend the
right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under such Receivables or
other property transferred to the Purchaser against all claims of third parties
claiming through or under the Originator.

                                                                  Sale Agreement

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 4.1 Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest.

     (a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the
transfers contemplated and effected under this Agreement are complete and
absolute sales and transfers rather than pledges or assignments of only a
security interest and shall be given effect as such for all purposes. It is
further the intention of the parties hereto that the Receivables and related
Sold Assets shall not be part of the Originator's estate in the event of a
bankruptcy or insolvency of the Originator. The sales and transfers by the
Originator of the Receivables and related Sold Assets hereunder are and shall be
without recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, the
Originator, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights
of recourse specified herein against the Originator are intended to provide a
remedy for breach of representations and warranties relating to the condition of
the property sold, rather than to the collectibility of the Receivables.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and
other Sold Assets are held to be property of the Originator, or if for any
reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security
interest in the Receivables and other Sold Assets, then it is intended that:

          (i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within
     the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and
     the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction;

          (ii) The conveyances provided for in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 shall
     be deemed to be a grant by the Originator of, and the Originator hereby
     grants to the Purchaser, a security interest in all of its right (including
     the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned
     or hereafter acquired, in and to the Receivables and other Sold Assets, to
     secure such indebtedness and the performance of the obligations of the
     Originator hereunder;

          (iii) The possession by the Purchaser or its agent of the Receivables
     files and any other property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable
     documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured
     party" or possession by the purchaser or a person designated by such
     purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the
     New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any
     other applicable jurisdiction; and

          (iv) Notifications to persons holding such property, and
     acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such
     property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments,
     receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the
     Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
     applicable law.

                                                                  Sale Agreement

                                       -6-

<PAGE>

     SECTION 4.2 Notices, Etc. All demands, notices and communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified
first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier
service, or by Electronic Transmission, and addressed in each case as specified
on Schedule II to the Sale and Servicing Agreement at such other address as
shall be designated by any of the foregoing in a written notice to the other
parties hereto. Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Noteholder
shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such
Noteholder as shown in the Note Register. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt
or reported tender of such communication by an officer of the recipient entitled
to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient for notices
hereunder; provided, however, that any notice to a Noteholder mailed within the
time prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been
duly given, whether or not the Noteholder shall receive such notice.

     SECTION 4.3 Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL, SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW AND THE
OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

     SECTION 4.4 Headings. The section headings hereof have been inserted for
convenience only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning, construction
or effect of this Agreement.

     SECTION 4.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but
all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.

     SECTION 4.6 Amendment.

     (a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the
Originator and the Purchaser without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any
Noteholder, the Issuer or the Owner Trustee; provided that such amendment shall
not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee
materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders; provided,
further, that such amendment shall not materially and adversely affect the
rights or obligations of the Swap Counterparty or the Issuer under the Interest
Rate Swap Agreement unless the Swap Counterparty shall have consented in writing
to such amendment (and such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the
Swap Counterparty does not object in writing within ten (10) Business Days after
receipt of a written request for such consent); provided, further, that any
amendment requiring the Swap Counterparty's consent hereunder must also satisfy
the Rating Agency Condition to be effective.

     (b) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the
Originator and the Purchaser but without the consent of the Indenture Trustee,
any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other Person to add, modify
or eliminate any provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to enable
the Seller, the Servicer or any of their Affiliates to comply with or obtain
more favorable treatment under any law or regulation or any accounting

                                                                  Sale Agreement

rule or principle, it being a condition to any such amendment that the Rating
Agency Condition shall have been satisfied.

     (c) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Originator
and the Purchaser, with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less
than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes,
voting as a single class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided, that such
amendment shall not materially and adversely affect the rights or obligations of
the Swap Counterparty or the Issuer under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement
unless the Swap Counterparty shall have consented in writing to such amendment
(and such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Swap Counterparty
does not object in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a
written request for such consent); provided, further, that any amendment
requiring the Swap Counterparty's consent hereunder must also satisfy the Rating
Agency Condition to be effective. It will not be necessary for the consent of
Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent,
but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders
provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Noteholders will be subject to such reasonable requirements
as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record
dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement.

     (d) Prior to the execution of any such amendment, the Originator shall
provide written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating
Agency; and promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the
Originator shall furnish a copy of such amendment or consent to each Rating
Agency and the Indenture Trustee.

     (e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the
Purchaser, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to
receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and
that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment
have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall
not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which adversely affects the
Owner Trustee's or the Indenture Trustee's, as applicable, own rights, duties or
immunities under this Agreement.

     SECTION 4.7 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser, the
Servicer, the Originator, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any
power or right hereunder (to the extent such Person has any power or right
hereunder) shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on
the Purchaser or the Originator in any case shall entitle it to any notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Purchaser
under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or
approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval under
this Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval
thereafter to be granted hereunder.

                                                                  Sale Agreement

prior oral or written understandings. There are no unwritten agreements among

     SECTION 4.9 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

     SECTION 4.10 Binding Effect; Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall create and constitute the
continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and
shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the parties hereto

Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders. In addition, the Originator hereby
acknowledges and agrees that for so long as the Notes are outstanding, the
Indenture Trustee will have the right to exercise all powers, privileges and
claims of the Purchaser under this Agreement.

are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

such Bankruptcy Remote Party or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction or seeking the

appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case
or other proceeding commenced against such Bankruptcy Remote Party, or to make a

parties hereto shall commence or join with any other Person in commencing any
proceeding against such Bankruptcy Remote Party under any bankruptcy,
reorganization, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in
effect in any jurisdiction. This Section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

                                                                  Sale Agreement

                                   ARTICLE I

                              DEFINITIONS AND USAGE

     SECTION 2.1 Agreement to Sell and Contribute on the Closing Date. On the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, COAF does

after the Initial Cut-Off Date and the Related Security relating thereto,
together with all of COAF's rights under the Sale Agreement, whether now owned

delivered on the Closing Date, and its rights under the Sale Agreement
(collectively, the "Initial Purchased Assets"), which sale shall be effective as
of the Initial Cut-Off Date. The sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance made
hereunder does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by
the Purchaser of any obligation of COAF or any Originator to the Obligors, the
Dealers or any other Person in connection with the Receivables or the other
assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or
instrument related thereto.

     SECTION 2.2 Agreement to Sell and Contribute on the Funding Dates. On the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, COAF does
hereby sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Purchaser on each

described in an Assignment in the form of Exhibit A delivered on such Funding
Date (collectively, the "Subsequent Purchased Assets" and, together with the
Initial Purchased Assets, all of COAF's rights under the Sale Agreement and all
proceeds of the foregoing, the "Purchased Assets"). The sale, transfer,
assignment and conveyance made hereunder does not constitute and is not intended
to result in an assumption by the Purchaser of any obligation of COAF or any
Originator to the Obligors, the Dealers or any other Person in connection with
the Receivables or the other assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any
agreement, document or instrument related thereto.

     SECTION 2.3 Consideration and Payment. In consideration of the sale of the
Initial Purchased Assets sold to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, the
Purchaser shall pay to COAF on such date an amount equal to $874,060,679.67,
representing the estimated fair market value of the Initial Purchased Assets on
the Closing Date.

     SECTION 2.4 Consideration and Payment for the Subsequent Purchased Assets.

                    REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

     SECTION 3.1 Representations and Warranties of COAF. COAF makes the
following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date and as of each
Funding Date on which the Purchaser will be deemed to have relied in acquiring
the Purchased Assets. The representations and warranties speak as of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and will survive the conveyance of the
Purchased Assets to the Purchaser, the conveyance of the Transferred Assets to
the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the pledge thereof
by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:

     (a) Existence and Power. COAF is a corporation validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of its state of organization and has, in all material
respects, full power and authority to own its assets and operate its business as
presently owned or operated, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations
under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or affect the
enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the
Purchased Assets. COAF has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each
jurisdiction where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect
the ability of COAF to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents
or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other
part of the Purchased Assets.

     (b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and
performance by COAF of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have
been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of COAF and do not
contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law, rule or
regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any material indenture or
material agreement or instrument to which COAF is a party or by which its
properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations,
indentures or agreements which do not affect the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or in the
aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions
contemplated by, or COAF's ability to perform its obligations under, the
Transaction Documents).

     (c) No Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with,
any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance by COAF of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC
filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained
and filings that have previously been made and (iii) approval, authorizations or
filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect
on the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of
the Purchased Assets or would materially and adversely affect the ability of
COAF to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

     (d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which COAF is a party
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of COAF enforceable against
COAF in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited
by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership,
conservatorship or other

similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and, if applicable, the
rights of creditors of limited liability companies from time to time in effect
or by general principles of equity.

     (e) No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or,
to the knowledge of COAF, threatened against COAF before or by any Governmental
Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement
or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seek to prevent the issuance of
the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii) seek any
determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the
performance by COAF of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents or have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders, or
(iv) relate to COAF that would materially and adversely affect the federal or
Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the
Notes.

     (f) Lien Filings. COAF is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax
lien filings against COAF.

     SECTION 3.2 Representations and Warranties of COAF as to each Receivable.
On the date hereof or on each Funding Date, as the case may be, the COAF hereby
makes the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule I to the Sale and
Servicing Agreement as to the Receivables sold, transferred, assigned and
otherwise conveyed to the Purchaser under this Agreement on which such
representations and warranties the Purchaser relies in acquiring the
Receivables. Such representations and warranties as to each Receivable relate to
the characteristics of such Receivable as of the applicable Cut-Off Date for
such Receivable (unless Scheduled I to the Sale and Servicing Agreement
specifically identifies a different date as applying to a particular
representation or warranty), but shall survive the sale of such Receivables to
the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and the Grant of the
Receivables by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document, COAF shall not be required to notify any insurer with
respect to any Insurance Policy obtained by an Obligor or to notify any Dealer
about any aspect of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

     SECTION 3.3 Repurchase upon Breach. Upon discovery by or notice to the
Purchaser or COAF of a breach of any of the representations and warranties
described in Section 3.2 at the time such representations and warranties were
made which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the
Noteholders, the party discovering such breach or receiving such notice shall
give prompt written notice thereof to the other party; provided, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of COAF hereunder.
If COAF does not correct or cure such breach prior to the end of the Collection
Period which includes the 60th day (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier date)
after the date that COAF became aware or was notified of such breach, then COAF
shall purchase any Receivable affected by such breach which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Issuer and the Noteholders from the
Purchaser on the Payment Date following the end of such Collection Period. Any
such breach or failure will not be deemed to have a material and adverse effect
if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Purchaser (or its
assignee) to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any
such purchase by COAF shall be at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. In

                                                              Purchase Agreement

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

consideration for such repurchase, COAF shall make (or shall cause to be made) a
payment to the Purchaser equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing such amount
into the Collection Account prior to noon, New York City time on such Payment
Date. Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by COAF, the Purchaser shall release
and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as shall be
reasonably necessary to vest in COAF or its designee any Receivable repurchased
pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of COAF to
purchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting such breach available to the Purchaser.

     SECTION 3.4 Protection of Title.

     (a) COAF shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be
authorized and filed such continuation and other statements, all in such manner
and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and
protect the interest of the Purchaser under this Agreement in the Purchased
Assets. COAF shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Purchaser
file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided
above, as soon as available following such filing.

     (b) COAF shall not change its name, identity, corporate structure or
jurisdiction of organization in any manner that would make any financing
statement or continuation statement filed by COAF in accordance with paragraph
(a) above "seriously misleading" within the meaning of Sections 9-506, 9-507 or
9-508 of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Purchaser at least five days'
prior written notice thereof and, to the extent necessary, shall have promptly
filed amendments to previously filed financing statements or continuation
statements described in paragraph (a) above.

     (c) COAF shall give the Purchaser at least five days' prior written notice
of any change of location of COAF for purposes of Section 9-307 of the UCC and
shall have taken all action prior to making such change (or shall have made
arrangements to take such action substantially simultaneously with such change,
if it is not possible to take such action in advance) reasonably necessary or
advisable in the opinion of the Purchaser to amend all previously filed
financing statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (a)
above.

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

     (e) COAF shall maintain (or shall cause its Sub-Servicer to maintain) its
computer systems so that, from time to time after the conveyance under this
Agreement of the Receivables, the master computer records (including any backup
archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the
Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee of the Purchaser) in such Receivable and
that such Receivable is owned by such Person. Indication of such Peron's

                                                              Purchase Agreement

                                       -5-

<PAGE>

interest in a Receivable shall not be deleted from or modified on such computer
systems until, and only until, the related Receivable shall have been paid in
full or repurchased.

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

     SECTION 3.5 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances and grants
of security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, COAF shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Receivables or
other property transferred to the Purchaser to any other Person, or grant,
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens)
on any interest therein, and COAF shall defend the right, title and interest of
the Purchaser in, to and under such Receivables or other property transferred to
the Purchaser against all claims of third parties claiming through or under
COAF.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 4.1 Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest.

     (a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the
transfers contemplated and effected under this Agreement are complete and
absolute sales and transfers rather than pledges or assignments of only a
security interest and shall be given effect as such for all purposes. It is
further the intention of the parties hereto that the Receivables and related
Purchased Assets shall not be part of COAF's estate in the event of a bankruptcy
or insolvency of COAF. The sales and transfers by COAF of the Receivables and
related Purchased Assets hereunder are and shall be without recourse to, or
representation or warranty (express or implied) by, COAF, except as otherwise
specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse specified herein
against COAF are intended to provide a remedy for breach of representations and
warranties relating to the condition of the property sold, rather than to the
collectibility of the Receivables.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and
other Purchased Assets are held to be property of COAF, or if for any reason
this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security interest
in the Receivables and other Purchased Assets, then it is intended that:

          (i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within
     the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and
     the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction;

          (ii) The conveyances provided for in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 shall
     be deemed to be a grant by COAF of, and COAF hereby grants to the
     Purchaser, a security interest in all of its right (including the power to
     convey title thereto), title and interest,

                                                              Purchase Agreement

                                       -6-

<PAGE>

     whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Receivables and
     other Purchased Assets, to secure such indebtedness and the performance of
     the obligations of COAF hereunder;

          (iii) The possession by the Purchaser or its agent of the Receivables
     files and any other property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable
     documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured
     party" or possession by the purchaser or a person designated by such
     purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the
     New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any
     other applicable jurisdiction; and

          (iv) Notifications to persons holding such property, and
     acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such
     property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments,
     receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the
     Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
     applicable law.

     SECTION 4.2 Notices, Etc. All demands, notices and communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified
first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier
service, or by Electronic Transmission, and addressed in each case as specified
on Schedule II to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or at such other address as
shall be designated by any of the foregoing in a written notice to the other
parties hereto. Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Noteholder
shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such
Noteholder as shown in the Note Register. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt
or reported tender of such communication by an officer of the recipient entitled
to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient for notices
hereunder; provided, however, that any notice to a Noteholder mailed within the
time prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been
duly given, whether or not the Noteholder shall receive such notice.

     SECTION 4.3 Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL, SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW AND THE
OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

     SECTION 4.4 Headings. The section headings hereof have been inserted for
convenience only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning, construction
or effect of this Agreement.

     SECTION 4.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but
all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.

     SECTION 4.6 Amendment.

                                       -7-

<PAGE>

     (a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by COAF and the
Purchaser without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the
Issuer or the Owner Trustee; provided that such amendment shall not, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee materially
and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders; provided, further, that
such amendment shall not materially and adversely affect the rights or
obligations of the Swap Counterparty or the Issuer under the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement unless the Swap Counterparty shall have consented in writing to such
amendment (and such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Swap
Counterparty does not object in writing within ten (10) Business Days after
receipt of a written request for such consent); provided, further, that any
amendment requiring the Swap Counterparty's consent hereunder must also satisfy
the Rating Agency Condition to be effective.

     (b) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by COAF and the
Purchaser but without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other Person to add, modify or eliminate any
provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to enable the Seller, the
Servicer or any of their Affiliates to comply with or obtain more favorable
treatment under any law or regulation or any accounting rule or principle, it
being a condition to any such amendment that the Rating Agency Condition shall
have been satisfied.

     (c) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by COAF and the
Purchaser, with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, voting as a
single class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided, that such amendment shall
not materially and adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Swap
Counterparty or the Issuer under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement unless the
Swap Counterparty shall have consented in writing to such amendment (and such
consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Swap Counterparty does not
object in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a written
request for such consent); provided, further, that any amendment requiring the
Swap Counterparty's consent hereunder must also satisfy the Rating Agency
Condition to be effective. It will not be necessary for the consent of
Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent,
but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders
provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Noteholders will be subject to such reasonable requirements
as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record
dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement.

     (d) Prior to the execution of any such amendment, COAF shall provide
written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency;
and promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, COAF shall
furnish a copy of such amendment or consent to each Rating Agency and the
Indenture Trustee.

     (e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the
Purchaser, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to
receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted

                                                              Purchase Agreement

                                       -8-

by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to the execution and
delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
amendment which adversely affects the Owner Trustee's or the Indenture
Trustee's, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.

     SECTION 4.7 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser, the
Servicer, COAF, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power or
right hereunder (to the extent such Person has any power or right hereunder)
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Purchaser or
COAF in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Purchaser under this Agreement
shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be
applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval under this
Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter
to be granted hereunder.

     SECTION 4.8 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents contain a final and
complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect
to the subject matter thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, superseding all
prior oral or written understandings. There are no unwritten agreements among
the parties.

     SECTION 4.9 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

     SECTION 4.10 Binding Effect; Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall create and constitute the
continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and
shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the parties hereto
shall agree.

     SECTION 4.11 Acknowledgment and Agreement. By execution below, COAF
expressly acknowledges and consents to the sale of the Purchased Assets and the
assignment of all rights and obligations of COAF related thereto by the
Purchaser to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the
pledge, assignment and grant of a security interest in the Receivables and the
other Purchased Assets by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders. In addition, COAF hereby
acknowledges and agrees that for so long as the Notes are outstanding, the
Indenture Trustee will have the right to exercise all powers, privileges and
claims of the Purchaser under this Agreement.

     SECTION 4.12 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The remedies herein provided
are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

of each Bankruptcy Remote Party in respect of all securities issued by any
Bankruptcy Remote Party (i) such party hereto shall not authorize any Bankruptcy
Remote Party to commence a voluntary winding-up or other voluntary case or other
proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to
such Bankruptcy Remote Party or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction or seeking the

or any other creditor of such Bankruptcy Remote Party, and (ii) none of the
parties hereto shall commence or join with any other Person in commencing any
proceeding against such Bankruptcy Remote Party under any bankruptcy,
reorganization, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in
effect in any jurisdiction. This Section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

     SECTION 4.14 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally:

     (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any documents executed and delivered in connection

     (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be
effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any
substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person at its
address determined in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement; and

     (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of
process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in
any other jurisdiction.

Counterparty in, to and under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, all
of the Swap Counterparty's rights to receive notice of any action hereunder and

termination of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement in accordance with the terms
thereof and the payment in full of all amounts owing to the Swap Counterparty.

                    ASSIGNMENT PURSUANT TO PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     For value received, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement dated as of
September 23, 2003, between Capital One Auto Finance, Inc., a Texas corporation

conditions set forth in the Agreement, COAF does hereby irrevocably sell,
transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Purchaser on         , 2003 without
                                                          --------

right, title and interest of COAF, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in,
to and under the Receivables set forth on the schedule of Receivables delivered

other Schedule of Receivables delivered by COAF to the Purchaser pursuant to the
Agreement, the "Schedule of Receivables"), and the Collections after the related
Cut-Off Date and the Related Security relating thereto, together with all of
COAF's rights under the Sale Agreement and all proceeds of the foregoing, which
sale shall be effective as of such Cut-Off Date.

     The sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance made hereunder does not

any obligation of COAF or the Originator to the Obligors, the Dealers, insurers
or any other Person in connection with the Receivables, or the other assets and
properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related
thereto.

     This assignment is made pursuant to and upon the representations,
warranties and agreements on the part of the undersigned contained in the
Agreement and is governed by the Agreement.

     Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
