relating thereto to the Purchaser and the subsequent assignment and transfer
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement:
(i) Location of Receivable Files; One Original. A complete
Receivable File with respect to each Samco Receivable has been or prior
to the Closing Date will be delivered to the Trustee at the location
listed in Schedule B to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. There is only
one original executed copy of each Samco Receivable.
(ii) Schedule of Receivables; Selection Procedures. The
information with respect to the Samco Receivables set forth in the
Schedule of Samco Receivables as the same may be amended by subsequent
Schedules of Samco Receivables is true and correct in all material
respects as of the close of business on the related Cutoff Date, and no
selection procedures adverse to the Securityholders have been utilized
in selecting the Samco Receivables.
(iii) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Immediately prior
to the sale, assignment, and transfer thereof, each Samco Receivable
shall be secured by a validly perfected first security interest in the
related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party, and
such security interest is prior to all other liens upon and security
interests in such Financed Vehicle which now exist or may hereafter
arise or be created (except, as to priority, for any tax liens or
mechanics' liens which may arise after each Closing Date).
(iv) Samco Receivables in Force. No Samco Receivable has been
satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor has any Financed Vehicle been
released from the lien granted by the related Samco Receivable in whole
or in part.
(v) No Waiver. No provision of a Samco Receivable has been
waived.
(vi) No Amendments. No Samco Receivable has been amended,
except as such Samco Receivable may have been amended to grant
extensions which
-13-
shall not have numbered more than (a) one extension of one calendar
month in any calendar year or (b) three such extensions in the
aggregate.
(vii) No Default; Repossession. Except for payment
delinquencies continuing for a period of not more than thirty days as
of the Cutoff Date, no default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration under the terms of any Initial Samco Receivable has
occurred; and no continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of
time would constitute a default, breach, violation, or event permitting
acceleration under the terms of any Initial Samco Receivable has
arisen; and the Seller shall not waive and has not waived any of the
foregoing; and no Financed Vehicle securing a Initial Samco Receivable
shall have been repossessed as of the Cutoff Date.
(viii) Title. It is the intention of the Seller that the
transfer and assignment herein contemplated constitute a sale of the
Samco Receivables from the Seller to the Purchaser and that the
beneficial interest in and title to such Samco Receivables not be part
of the debtor's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy
petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. No Samco
Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned, or pledged by the
Seller to any Person other than the Purchaser or any such pledge has
been released on or prior to the related Closing Date. Immediately
prior to any transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Seller
had good and marketable title to each Samco Receivable, and was the
sole owner thereof, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances,
security interests, and rights of others and, immediately upon the
transfer thereof, the Purchaser shall have good and marketable title to
each such Samco Receivable, and will be the sole owner thereof, free
and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of
others, and the transfer has been perfected under the UCC.
(ix) Lawful Assignment. No Samco Receivable has been
originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under
which the sale, transfer, and assignment of such Samco Receivable under
the Agreements shall be unlawful, void, or voidable. The Seller has not
entered into any agreement with any account debtor that prohibits,
restricts or conditions the assignment of any portion of the Samco
Receivables.
(x) All Filings Made. All filings (including, without
limitation, UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the
Purchaser a first priority perfected ownership interest in the Samco
Receivables and the other Transferred Samco Property have been made,
taken or performed.
(xi) Casualty. No Financed Vehicle related to a Samco
Receivable has suffered a Casualty.
(xii) Obligation to Dealers or Others. The Purchaser and its
assignees will assume no obligation to Dealers or other originators or
holders of the
-14-
Samco Receivables (including, but not limited to under dealer reserves)
as a result of the purchase of the Samco Receivables.
(xiii) Full Amount Advanced. The full amount of each Samco
Receivable has been advanced to each Obligor, and there are no
requirements for future advances thereunder. No Obligor with respect to
a Samco Receivable has any option under the Samco Receivable to borrow
from any Person additional funds secured by the related Financed
Vehicle.
(c) The representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement shall not be construed as a warranty or guaranty by the
Seller as to the future payments by any Obligor. The sale of the
Initial Samco Receivables pursuant to this Agreement shall be "without
recourse" to the Seller except for the representations, warranties and
covenants made by the Seller in this Purchase Agreement.

Receivable.

sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property,
privilege, or license taxes and costs and expenses in defending against the
same.
(d) The Seller shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Purchaser
from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and
liabilities to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or
liability arose out of, or was imposed upon the Purchaser through, the
negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith of the Seller in the performance
of its duties under the Agreements, or by reason of reckless disregard of the
Seller's obligations and duties under the Agreements.
Indemnification under this Section 5.6 shall include reasonable fees
and expenses of litigation and shall survive payment of the Notes and
Certificates. These indemnity obligations shall be in addition to any obligation
that the Seller may otherwise have.

applicable documents.

warranty made by the Purchaser hereunder, the Seller covenants and agrees that
it will not take any action to pursue any remedy that it may have hereunder, in
law, in equity or otherwise, until
-18-
a year and a day have passed since the date on which all certificates issued by
the Trust or a similar trust formed by the Purchaser have been paid in full. The
Purchaser and the Seller agree that damages will not be an adequate remedy for
such breach and that this covenant may be specifically enforced by the Purchaser
or by the Trust.
ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
6.1. Obligations of Seller. The obligations of the Seller under the
Agreements shall not be affected by reason of any invalidity, illegality or
irregularity of any Samco Receivable.
6.2. Repurchase Events. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees with the
Purchaser for the benefit of the Purchaser, the Trustee, the Insurer and the
Securityholders, that (i) the occurrence of a breach of any of the Seller's
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.2(b) hereof (without
regard to any limitations regarding the Seller's knowledge) and (ii) the failure
of the Seller to timely comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 5.5
hereof, shall constitute events obligating the Seller to repurchase the affected
Samco Receivables hereunder ("Repurchase Events"), at the Purchase Amount from
the Trust. Unless the breach of any of the Seller's representations and
warranties shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period
following the discovery thereof by or notice to the Purchaser and the Seller of
such breach, the Seller shall repurchase any Samco Receivable if such Samco
Receivable is materially and adversely affected by the breach as of the last day
of such second Collection Period (or, at the Seller's option, the last day of
the first Collection Period following the discovery) and, in the event that the
breach relates to a characteristic of the Samco Receivables in the aggregate,
and if the Trust is materially and adversely affected by such breach, unless the
breach shall have been cured by such second Collection Period, the Seller shall
purchase such aggregate Principal Balance of Samco Receivables, such that
following such purchase such representation shall be true and correct with
respect to the remainder of the Samco Receivables in the aggregate. The
provisions of this Section 6.2 are intended to grant the Trustee a direct right
against the Seller to demand performance hereunder, and in connection therewith
the Seller waives any requirement of prior demand against the Purchaser and
waives any defaults it would have against the Purchaser with respect to such
repurchase obligation. Any such purchase shall take place in the manner
specified in Section 5.6 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The sole remedy
hereunder of the Securityholders, the Trust, the Insurer, the Trustee or the
Purchaser against the Seller with respect to any Repurchase Event shall be to
enforce the Seller's obligation to repurchase such Samco Receivables pursuant to
this Agreement; provided, however, that the Seller shall indemnify the Trustee,
the Insurer, the Trust and the Securityholders against all costs, expenses,
losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them, as a
result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to
such
-19-
breach. Upon receipt of the Purchase Amount, the Purchaser shall cause the
Trustee to release the related Receivables File to the Seller and to execute and
deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as are
necessary to vest in the Seller title to the Samco Receivable. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if it is determined that consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the other transaction
documents referenced in such Agreement, servicing and operation of the Trust
pursuant to such Agreement and such other documents, or the ownership of a
Security by a Holder constitutes a violation of the prohibited transaction rules
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code") for which no statutory
exception or administrative exemption applies, such violation shall not be
treated as a Repurchase Event.
6.3. Seller's Assignment of Purchased Receivables. With respect to all
Samco Receivables repurchased by the Seller pursuant to the Agreements, the
Purchaser shall assign, without recourse except as provided herein,
representation or warranty, to the Seller all the Purchaser's right, title and
interest in and to such Samco Receivables, and all security and documents
relating thereto.
6.4. Conveyance as Sale of Receivables Not Financing. The parties
hereto intend that each conveyance under the Agreements be a sale of the Samco
Receivables and the other Transferred Samco Property from the Seller to the
Purchaser and not a financing secured by such assets; and the beneficial
interest in and title to the Samco Receivables and the other Transferred Samco
Property shall not be part of the Seller's estate in the event of the filing of
a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. In the
event that any conveyance hereunder is for any reason not considered a sale, the
parties intend that this Agreement constitute a security agreement under the UCC
(as defined in the UCC as in effect in the State of Texas) and applicable law,
and the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a first priority perfected
security interest in, to and under the Samco Receivables and the other
Transferred Samco Property being delivered to the Purchaser on the Closing Date,
and other property conveyed hereunder and all proceeds of any of the foregoing
for the purpose of securing payment and performance of the Securities and the
repayment of amounts owed to the Purchaser from the Seller.
6.5. Trust. The Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser will, pursuant
to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, sell the Receivables to the Trust and
assign its rights under this Purchase Agreement and the CPS Purchase Agreement
to the Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders, and that the
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the rights of the
Purchaser under this Purchase Agreement, including under Sections 6.2 and 6.4
hereof are intended to benefit such Trust and the Securityholders. The Seller
also acknowledges that the Trustee on behalf of the Securityholders as assignee
of the Purchaser's rights hereunder may directly enforce, without making any
prior demand on the Purchaser, all the rights of the Purchaser hereunder
including the rights under Section 6.2 and 6.4 hereof. The Seller hereby
consents to such sale and assignment.
-20-
6.6. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by a
written amendment duly executed and delivered by the Seller and the Purchaser
with the consent of the Insurer; provided, however, that (i) any such amendment
that materially adversely affects the rights of the Class A Noteholders under
the Sale and Servicing Agreement must be consented to by the holders of Class A
Notes representing 51% or more of the outstanding principal amount Class A
Notes, (ii) any such amendment that materially adversely affects the rights of
the Class B Noteholders under the Sale and Servicing Agreement must be consented
to by the holders of Class B Notes representing 51% or more of the outstanding
principal amount Class B Notes and (iii) any amendment that materially adversely
affects the rights of the Certificateholders under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement must be consented to by the holders of Certificates representing 51%
or more of the Certificate Balance.
6.7. Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser in
exercising any power, right or remedy under the Agreements shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power,
right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other power, right or remedy.
6.8. Notices. All communications and notices pursuant hereto to either
party shall be in writing or by telegraph or telex and addressed or delivered to
it at its address (or in case of telex, at its telex number at such address)
shown in the opening portion of this Agreement or at such other address as may
be designated by it by notice to the other party and, if mailed or sent by
telegraph or telex, shall be deemed given when mailed, communicated to the
telegraph office or transmitted by telex.
6.9. Costs and Expenses. The Seller will pay all expenses incident to
the performance of its obligations under this Purchase Agreement.
6.10. Representations of the Seller and the Purchaser. The respective
agreements, representations, warranties and other statements by the Seller and
the Purchaser set forth in or made pursuant to this Purchase Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect and will survive each closing hereunder.
6.11. Confidential Information. The Purchaser agrees that it will
neither use nor disclose to any Person the names and addresses of the Obligors,
except in connection with the enforcement of the Purchaser's rights hereunder,
under the Samco Receivables, under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or as
required by law.
6.12. Headings and Cross-References. The various headings in this
Purchase Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect the
meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Purchase Agreement.
References in this Purchase Agreement to Section names or numbers are to such
Sections of this Purchase Agreement.
-21-
6.13. Third Party Beneficiaries. The parties hereto hereby expressly
agree that each of the Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders and the
Insurer shall be third party beneficiaries with respect to this Purchase
Agreement, provided, however, that no third party other than the Trustee for the
benefit of the Securityholders and the Insurer shall be deemed a third party
beneficiary of this Purchase Agreement.
6.14. Governing Law. THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND THE ASSIGNMENTS SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.
