THE RECEIVABLES
SECTION 7.01 Representations and Warranties of Transferor.
(a) Pursuant to Article III, the Transferor has assigned
to the Trust the benefit of, and its rights respecting, the
representations and warranties made to the Transferor in the Purchase
Agreement as to the Receivables on which the Owner Trustee relies in
accepting the Receivables in trust and executing and authenticating the
Certificates and executing and delivering the Indenture and on which
the Insurer will rely in issuing the Policy. The Transferor agrees that
the representations shall also be for the benefit of the Secured
Parties. Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution
and delivery of the Purchase Agreement but shall survive the sale,
transfer, and assignment of the Receivables to the Owner Trustee.
(b) The Transferor hereby represents and warrants to the
Owner Trustee that it has entered into the Purchase Agreement with
BVAC, that BVAC has made the representations and warranties set forth
therein, that such representations and warranties run to and are for
the benefit of the Transferor, and that pursuant to Article III of this
Agreement the Transferor has transferred and assigned to the Owner
Trustee all rights of the Transferor to cause BVAC under the Purchase
Agreement to repurchase Receivables in the event of a breach of such
representations and warranties.
(c) The foregoing provisions of this Section 7.01 are
intended to grant the Trust and its assignees a direct right against
BVAC to demand performance of its obligations under the Purchase
Agreement.
(d) It is the intention of the Transferor that the
transfer and assignment herein contemplated, taken as a whole,
constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Transferor to the Trust
and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be
part of the receivership estate in the event of the appointment of a
receiver for the Transferor. In the event that a court of competent
jurisdiction were to conclude that the transfer of Receivables
constitutes a grant of a security interest rather than a sale of the
Receivables, this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein
shall be deemed to constitute a grant by the Transferor to the Trust of
a valid continuing first priority security interest in the Receivables
and the proceeds thereof. No Receivable has been sold, transferred,
assigned, or pledged by the Transferor to any Person other than the
Owner Trustee. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment herein
contemplated, the Transferor had good and marketable title to each
Receivable free and clear of all liens, and, immediately upon the
transfer thereof, the Owner Trustee (for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Secured Parties pursuant to the Indenture)
shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear
of all liens and rights of others, except for the rights of the
Certificateholders and the Insurer; and the transfer has been perfected
under the UCC. On or prior to the Closing Date, all filings (including,
without limitation, UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give
the Owner Trustee a first perfected ownership interest in the
Receivables shall have been made.

SECTION 7.02 Repurchase Upon Breach. Each party hereto shall
inform the other parties hereto and the Insurer promptly, in writing, upon the
discovery of any breach of the representations and warranties contained in the
Purchase Agreement. This obligation shall not constitute an obligation on the
part of the Owner Trustee to actively seek to discover any such breaches. Unless
the breach shall have been cured by the second Record Date following the
discovery, BVAC, pursuant to its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, shall
repurchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by the breach as of
such Record Date (or, at BVAC's option, the first Record Date following the
discovery). In consideration of the purchase of the Receivable, BVAC shall remit
the Purchase Amount, in the manner specified in Section 9.03. The sole remedy of
the Owner Trustee, the Trust, or the Indenture Trustee with respect to a breach
of the representations and warranties referred to in Section 7.01 shall be to
require BVAC to repurchase Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and
this Section 7.02.

quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the

duties as custodian the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using
that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with
respect to the receivable files relating to all comparable automotive
receivables that the Servicer services for itself. The Servicer shall
conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic audits of the Receivable

however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any portion of any such
amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence of the
Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee. This indemnity shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 7.07 Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer's
appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Cutoff Date and shall
continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section
7.07. If the Servicer shall resign in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer shall have
been terminated under Section 13.01, the appointment of the Servicer as
custodian may be terminated by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the
Indenture Trustee and the Insurer (so long as the Insurer is not in default of
its obligations under the Policy). In addition, the Owner Trustee may terminate
the Servicer's appointment as custodian with cause at any time upon written
notification to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. As soon as practicable
after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer shall deliver the
Receivable Files to the Owner
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
20
Trustee or the Owner Trustee's agent at such place or places as the Owner
Trustee, with the consent of the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee, may
reasonably designate.
ARTICLE VIII
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES
SECTION 8.01 Duties of Servicer.
(a) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Trust and the Secured
Parties, shall manage, service, administer, and make collections on the
Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and
attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable
automotive receivables that it services for itself. The Servicer's
duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, making
Advances (in the Servicer's sole discretion), responding to inquiries
of Obligors or of federal, state or local governmental authorities with
respect to the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending
payment coupons to Obligors, accounting for collections, and furnishing
monthly and annual statements to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee with respect to distributions. The Servicer shall follow its
customary standards, policies, and procedures in performing its duties
as Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Owner Trustee to execute
and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee or any of them, 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. If the Servicer
shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable or a
Charged-Off Receivable, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for
the purpose of collection, such Receivable to the Servicer. The Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall execute any documents prepared
by the Servicer and delivered to the Owner Trustee for execution that
are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties hereunder.
(b) The Servicer, unless the Standby Servicer is then acting as
Servicer, in which case the Back-up Servicer (if BVAC is acting as the
Servicer, at its expense, otherwise at the expense of the Trust), shall
obtain on behalf of the Trust all licenses, if any, required by the
laws of any jurisdiction to be held by the Trust in connection with
ownership of the Receivables, and shall make all filings and pay all
fees as may be required in connection therewith during the term hereof.
(c) The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee and the Insurer from time to time such additional information
regarding the Trust as the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, or the
Insurer shall reasonably request.
SECTION 8.02 The Back-up Servicer.
(a) Prior to assuming any of the Servicer's rights and obligations
and acting as successor Servicer hereunder, the Back-up Servicer shall
only be responsible to perform
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
21
those duties specifically imposed upon it by the provisions hereof, and
shall have no obligations or duties under any agreement to which it is
not a party.
(b) Subject to the Back-up Servicer's obligations pursuant to this
Section 8.02, prior to assuming any of the Servicer's rights and
obligations hereunder, the Back-up Servicer shall not be required to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in
the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of
any of its rights or powers, if the repayment of such funds or adequate
written indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it in writing prior to the expenditure or risk of such funds
or incurrence of financial liability. Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary, the Back-up Servicer, in its capacity as such, and not in
its capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be liable for any
obligation of the Servicer contained in this Agreement so long as the
Back-up Servicer performs in such capacity, and the parties shall look
only to the Servicer to perform such obligations. The Back-up Servicer
shall have no responsibility or liability in connection with the
perfection or maintenance of a security interest in the Receivables.
(c) The Servicer shall have no liability, direct or indirect, to
any party, for the acts or omissions of the Back-up Servicer, whenever
such acts or omissions occur or whenever such liability is imposed.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Controlling Party shall have the right in its sole and absolute
discretion to remove and replace the Back-up Servicer. In the event
that the Controlling Party exercises its right to remove and replace
[__________] as Back-up Servicer, [__________] shall have no further
obligation to perform the duties of the Back-up Servicer under this
Agreement except as set forth in Section 12.02.
(e) To the extent the Back-up Servicer and the Indenture Trustee
are the same party, the Back-up Servicer may resign under this
Agreement upon 90 days' prior written notice to the Servicer, the
Insurer and the Standby Servicer, and only to the extent such party is
also resigning or being removed as Indenture Trustee hereunder or under
the Indenture.
SECTION 8.03 The Standby Servicer.
(a) Prior to assuming any of the Servicer's rights and obligations
hereunder, the Standby Servicer shall only be responsible to perform
those duties specifically imposed upon it by the provisions hereof, and
shall have no obligations or duties under any agreement to which it is
not a party.
(b) Prior to assuming any of the Servicer's rights and obligations
hereunder, the Standby Servicer shall not be required to expend or risk
its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights
or powers, if the repayment of such funds or adequate written indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it in
writing prior to the expenditure or risk of such funds or incurrence of
financial liability. Notwithstanding
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
22
any provision to the contrary, the Standby Servicer, in its capacity as
such, and not in its capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be
liable for any obligation of the Back-up Servicer or the Servicer
contained in this Agreement so long as the Standby Servicer performs in
such capacity, and the parties shall look only to the Servicer and the
Back-up Servicer to perform such obligations.
(c) The Servicer shall have no liability, direct or indirect, to
any party, for the acts or omissions of the Standby Servicer, whenever
such acts or omissions occur or whenever such liability is imposed.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Controlling Party shall have the right, with or without cause, to
remove the Standby Servicer in its sole discretion and replace the
Standby Servicer. In the event that the Controlling Party exercises its
right to remove and replace the Standby Servicer, such Person shall
have no further obligation to perform the duties of the Standby
Servicer under this Agreement except as set forth in Section 12.02.
SECTION 8.04 Retention and Termination of 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 __________, which term may be
extended by written notice delivered by the Insurer, so long as the Insurer is
the Controlling Party, for successive three month periods ending on each
successive three month period (or, pursuant to revocable written standing
instructions from time to time to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee,
extended for any specified number of terms greater than one), until the
termination of the Issuer. If an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, such term will automatically be renewed unless the Majority
Noteholders vote to remove the Servicer. Any such notice (including each notice
pursuant to standing instructions, which, if delivered, shall be deemed
delivered at the end of successive monthly terms for so long as such
instructions are in effect) (a "Servicer Extension Notice") shall be delivered
by the Insurer to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer. The Servicer hereby
agrees that, as of the date hereof and upon its receipt of any such Servicer
Extension Notice, the Servicer shall become bound, for the initial term
beginning on the date hereof and for the duration of the term covered by such
Servicer Extension Notice, the Servicer shall become bound, for the initial term
beginning on the date hereof and 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. The Servicer's terms
shall not be extended unless a Servicer Extension Notice is received on or
before the last day of such term. This Section shall not apply to the Back-up
Servicer or the Standby Servicer.
SECTION 8.05 Collection of Receivable Payments.
(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
such 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 and, in
any event, with no less degree of skill and care than would be
exercised by a prudent servicer of similar motor vehicle retail
installment sales contracts and installment sale loan
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
23
and security agreements. If payments are modified, adjusted or extended
in the ordinary course of the Servicer's collection procedures, and, as
a result, any Receivable would be outstanding at the Stated Final
Payment Date, then the Servicer shall be obligated to purchase such
Receivable pursuant to Section 8.10 (unless such Receivable is
otherwise being purchased pursuant to Section 15.02) as of the last day
of the Collection Period immediately preceding the Stated Final Payment
Date. The Servicer may in its discretion waive any late payment charge
or any other fees that it is entitled to retain under Section 8.11, or
other fee (to the extent consistent with its credit and collection
policy on the Closing Date) that may be collected in the ordinary
course of servicing a Receivable.
(b) All allocations of payments with respect to a simple-interest
Receivable to principal and interest and determinations of periodic
charges and the like shall be made using the simple interest method,
based on either the actual number of days elapsed and the actual number
of days in the calendar year or on the basis of a thirty-day month and
a 360-day calendar year, as specified in the related installment sales
contract or installment loan and security agreement. Each payment on a
simple interest Receivable shall be applied first to the amount of
interest accrued on such Receivable to the date of receipt; second, to
principal due on such Receivable; third, to late charges, if any,
accrued on such Receivable; and last, to reduce the remaining principal
amount outstanding on such Receivable. Payments made by or on behalf of
an Obligor including any Payaheads previously made and added to the
Payahead Balance with respect to a Precomputed Receivable shall be
applied first to overdue Scheduled Payments (including reduction of
Outstanding Advances as provided in Section 9.04). Next, any excess
shall be applied to the Scheduled Payment and any remaining excess
shall be added to the Payahead Balance, and shall be applied to prepay
the Precomputed Receivable, but only if such Payahead Balance shall be
sufficient to prepay the Receivable in full. Otherwise, any such
remaining excess payments shall constitute a Payahead and shall
increase the Payahead Balance.
SECTION 8.06 Realization Upon Receivables.
(a) On behalf of the Trust and the Secured Parties the Servicer
shall use its best efforts, consistent with its customary servicing
procedures, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the
Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer shall
have determined that eventual payment in full is unlikely. The Servicer
shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it
shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of automotive
receivables, 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
Liquidation Proceeds. After appropriate disposition of the Financed
Vehicle, the Servicer shall also take such measures as it deems
reasonable and appropriate to realize value in respect of any
deficiency balance of the Receivable including pursuit of action on
behalf of the Trust and/or the Secured Parties against the Obligor or
public or
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
24
private sale of the remaining interest of the Trust and/or the Secured
Parties in such Receivable.
(b) Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, the Servicer shall
either purchase or liquidate each Financed Vehicle that has not
previously been liquidated and that secures, or previously secured, a
Charged-Off Receivable either (i) by the end of the Collection Period
preceding the final scheduled Payment Date during the life of the Trust
or (ii) if earlier, by the end of the ninth Collection Period following
the Collection Period during which such Receivable became a Charged-Off
Receivable. Any purchase of a Financed Vehicle by the Servicer shall be
made at a price equal to the fair market value of the Financed Vehicle
as determined by the Servicer in accordance with the Servicer's normal
servicing standards.
SECTION 8.07 Physical Damage Insurance. The Servicer, in
accordance with its customary servicing procedures and underwriting standards,
shall require that each Obligor shall have obtained and shall maintain physical
damage insurance covering the Financed Vehicle.
SECTION 8.08 Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed
Vehicles. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing
procedures, take such steps as are necessary to ensure that perfection of the
security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle has
been obtained, and to maintain such security interest. The Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee hereby authorize the Servicer to take such steps as are
necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Trust in the
event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. Without
limiting the forgoing, in the event that the Servicer consigns a repossessed
Financed Vehicle to an affiliate for liquidation, it shall take such measures as
are necessary or appropriate to maintain the security interest in the Financed
Vehicle in the hands of the consignee until such Financed Vehicle is liquidated,
including appropriate precautionary UCC-1 filings. In addition, BVAC and/or such
affiliate will notify the creditors, if any, of such affiliate that have entered
into a consignment arrangement on or before such arrangements are made.
SECTION 8.09 Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer shall not release
a Financed Vehicle securing any 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, nor shall the Servicer impair the rights
of the Certificateholders or the Secured Parties in the Receivables, nor shall
the Servicer change the amount of the Scheduled Payment under a Receivable or
change the Amount Financed under a Receivable or reduce the Contract Rate of a
Receivable (except if so ordered by a bankruptcy court in a proceeding
concerning the Obligor or otherwise mandated by law).
SECTION 8.10 Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. The Servicer or
the Owner Trustee shall inform the other party and the Insurer promptly, in
writing, upon the discovery of (i) any breach by the Servicer of its obligations
under Sections 8.01, 8.05, 8.06, 8.07, 8.08 or 8.09 or (ii) the existence of the
Servicer's obligation to purchase a Receivable pursuant to Section 8.05(a). This
obligation shall not constitute an obligation on the part of the Owner Trustee
to discover any such breaches or circumstances. Unless such breach shall have
been cured by the Second Record Date following the discovery or notice of such
breach, the Servicer
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
25
shall on such day purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by
such breach (or, at the Servicer's election, the first Record Date following the
discovery or notice of such breach). In consideration of the purchase of such
Receivable, the Servicer shall remit the Purchase Amount with respect to such
Receivable in the manner specified in Section 9.03. The sole remedy of the Owner
Trustee, the Trust, or the Secured Parties with respect to the aforementioned
breaches or the grant of an extension which triggers an obligation of the
Servicer under Section 8.05(a) shall be to require the Servicer to purchase
Receivables pursuant to this Section 8.10, except as provided in Section 12.02.
SECTION 8.11 Servicing Fee
(a) The Servicer shall be entitled to a Servicing Fee as defined
herein. The Servicer shall also be entitled to retain, and need not
deposit in the Collection Account, all late fees, prepayment charges
and other administrative fees and expenses or similar charges allowed
by applicable law with respect to the Receivables, collection (from
whatever source) on the Receivables during such Collection Period (the
Supplemental Servicing Fee").
(b) So long as it has not become the Servicer, the Back-up
Servicer shall be entitled to the Back-up Servicing Fee. If it becomes
the Servicer, the Back-up Servicer will be entitled to the Servicing
Fee.
(c) So long as it has not become the Servicer, the Standby
Servicer will be entitled to the Standby Servicer Fee. If it becomes
the Servicer, the Standby Servicer will be entitled to the fee set
forth in Schedule C in its capacity as successor Servicer.
(d) Neither the Indenture Trustee, Back-up Servicer or Standby
Servicer shall be liable for any differential between the Servicing Fee
and the amount necessary to induce a successor servicer to accept its
appointment as such pursuant to this Agreement.
(e) Each of the Servicer, the Back-up Servicer and the Standby
Servicer acknowledge and agree that any fees, expenses, costs,
indemnities and other amounts, including without limitation, Transition
Costs, payable to the servicer, the Back-up Servicer and the standby
Servicer shall not be payable form amounts owed or paid under the
Policy.
SECTION 8.12 Servicer's Certificate. On or before the
Determination Date following each Collection Period, the Servicer shall deliver
to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer a Servicer's
Certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit 3 attached hereto containing
all information necessary to make the distributions pursuant to Section 8.04 of
the Indenture (so long as the Notes remain outstanding) for the Collection
Period preceding the date of such Servicer's Certificate and all information
necessary for the Indenture Trustee to send statements to the Noteholders,
including (A) the amount of aggregate collections on the Receivables, (B) the

any additions thereto or withdrawals therefrom or reductions thereto to be made
on the following payment date; (I) the aggregate net losses on the Receivables
for the related Collection Period; (J) the amount of Advances from the Servicer

reports or statements as may be necessary to enable each Owner to prepare its
federal and state income tax returns. Consistent with the Trust's
characterization for tax purposes as a security arrangement for the issuance of
non-recourse debt so long as the Transferor or any other Person is the sole
beneficiary owner of the Trust, no federal income tax return shall be filed on
behalf of the Trust unless either (i) the Owner Trustee shall receive an Opinion

shall inform the Indenture Trustee in writing of such event, (x) the Owner
Trustee shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared federal and, if applicable,
state or local partnership tax returns required to be filed by the Trust and

the Certificate, to the Transferor to the extent its tax liability is affected
thereby and otherwise to the successor Certificateholder) at least (5) days
before such returns are due to be filed, and (y) capital accounts shall be
maintained for each beneficial owner in accordance with the Treasury Regulations
under Section 704(b) of the Code reflecting each such beneficial owner's share
of the income, gains, deductions, and losses of the Trust and/or guaranteed
payments made by the Trust and contributions to, and distributions from, the
Trust. The Transferor (or such successor Certificateholder, as applicable) shall
promptly sign such returns and deliver such returns after signature to the Owner
Trustee and such returns shall be filed by the Owner Trustee with the
appropriate tax authorities. In the event
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
32
that a "tax matters partner" (within the meaning of Code Section 6231(a)(7)) is
required to be appointed with respect to the Trust, the Transferor is hereby
designated as tax matters partner or, if the Transferor is not the
Certificateholder, the Transferor to the extent its tax liability is affected
thereby and otherwise the successor Certificateholder, shall be designated as
tax matters partner. In no event shall the Owner Trustee or the Transferor (or
such designee Certificateholder, as applicable) be liable for any liabilities,
costs or expenses of the Trust or the Noteholders arising out of the application
of any tax law, including federal, state, foreign or local income or excise
taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest,
penalty or addition with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply

act or omission by the Owner Trustee or the Transferor (or such designee
Certificateholder as applicable), as the case may be, in breach of its
obligations under this Agreement.

respect to such transfer.
(c) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee duly executed by the
Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate
surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be canceled
and subsequently destroyed by the Owner Trustee.
(d) No service charge shall be made for any registration of

destruction, loss, or theft of any Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered
to the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save

destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 10.05 Agreement Regarding Tax Matters. The Owner Trustee,
the Transferor as initial Certificateholder and each successor Certificateholder

Insurer or the Noteholders through the negligence, willful misconduct
or bad faith of the Standby Servicer, in the performance of its duties

be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without further
act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement; provided,
however, that (A) immediately after giving effect to such transaction,
no Event of Servicer Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse
of time, or both, would become an Event of Servicer Default shall have
happened and be continuing, (B) the Servicer shall have delivered to

then acting as Servicer.

of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Indenture
Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, except as provided under
this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall
not protect the Servicer or any such person against any liability that would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence
in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations
and duties under this Agreement. The Servicer and any director or officer or
employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any
kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any
matters arising under this Agreement.
Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under
any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal action that shall
not be incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with
this Agreement (collection actions with respect to Charged-Off Receivables are
understood to be incidental to the Servicer's duties to service the
Receivables), and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability.

Indenture Trustee and the Insurer. Any determination described above permitting
the resignation of the Servicer, Back-up Servicer or Standby Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner
Trustee. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective, so long as no
Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, until the Back-up
Servicer, the Standby Servicer or an entity acceptable to the Insurer shall have
assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer. No resignation of
the Servicer, Back-up Servicer, or the Standby Servicer shall relieve the
Servicer, Back-up Servicer, or the Standby Servicer, as the case may be, of any
liability to which it has previously become subject under this Agreement.
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT

and responsibility with respect to such duties, and shall not constitute a
resignation within Section 12.05 hereof. The Servicer shall give written notice
to the Rating Agencies, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer
of any such delegation.
ARTICLE XIII

TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT

its obligations under the Policy), or the Indenture Trustee (upon direction to
do so by the holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the outstanding
principal balance of the Notes if the Insurer is in default under the Policy),
by notice then given in writing to the Servicer may, terminate all of the rights
and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. In addition, if a Trigger
Event (as defined in the Insurance Agreement) shall have occurred, the Insurer
may (A) require that the Indenture Trustee deliver a notice of termination to
the Servicer and appoint a successor Servicer designated by the Insurer in such
notice pursuant to Section 13.02; (B) require that the Indenture Trustee amend
certificates of title relating to the Financed Vehicles and take other actions

subject to Section 13.02(a)), all authority and power of the Servicer as the
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Securities or the
Receivables or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested
in the Standby Servicer or any such successor Servicer as may be appointed under
Section 13.02; and, without limitation, the Standby Servicer any such successor
Servicer and the Indenture Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact
or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or
accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The
predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer and the Owner
Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the
predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the
successor Servicer of electronic records related to the Receivables in such form
as the successor Servicer may reasonably request and the transfer to the
successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at
the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be
received with respect to a Receivable. All Transition Costs shall be paid by the
predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs
and expenses and, if not so paid, shall be reimbursable to the successor
Servicer, to the extent of Available Funds on each Payment Date, pursuant to the
priorities set forth in Section 8.05(a) of the Indenture; provided, that such
payment shall not relieve the predecessor Servicer from the responsibility for
making such payment and the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the
successor Servicer with respect to such Transition Costs and shall have a direct
right to institute proceedings against the Servicer for such payment. The
predecessor Servicer shall grant the Transferor, the Indenture Trustee, the
Standby Servicer, the Back-up Servicer and the Insurer reasonable access to the
predecessor Servicer's premises, computer files, personnel, records and
equipment at the predecessor Servicer's expense.

the case of termination, only until the date specified in such
termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of

liabilities relating thereto placed on the Standby Servicer as Servicer
by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that neither the
Standby Servicer, the Back-up Servicer nor any other successor Servicer

predecessor Servicer prior to such succession or for any breach by the
Servicer or any other predecessor Servicer of any of its
representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or
in any related document or agreement.

succession.

of an Event of Servicer Default or upon any termination of, or appointment of a
successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article XIII, the Owner Trustee

TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
49
balance of the Notes may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of
its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any
required deposits to or payments from the Collection Account in accordance with
this Agreement; provided, that no waiver of any default or provision of this
Agreement shall become effective without the consent of the Insurer (so long as
the Insurer is the Controlling Party). Upon any such waiver of a past default,
such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Servicer Default 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

clause (i) of Section 13.01, the Owner Trustee has received notice of such Event
of Servicer Default, the Owner Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and

skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge (or cause to be
discharged) all its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and
the other documents to which the Trust is a party and to administer the Trust in

agreed in the Administration Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any
duty of the Owner Trustee hereunder or under any other document to which the
Trust is a party, and the Owner Trustee shall not be held liable for the default
or failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the

Default, and after the curing of all such Events of
Servicer Default that may have occurred, the duties
and obligations of the Owner Trustee shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable
except for the performance of such duties and
obligations as shall be specifically set forth in
this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations
shall be read into this Agreement against the Owner
Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part
of the Owner Trustee, or manifest error, the Owner
Trustee may conclusively rely on the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions
expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished
to the Owner Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Owner Trustee shall not be liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer,
unless it shall be proved that the Owner Trustee

any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken in
good faith in accordance with this Agreement or at
the direction of the Certificates relating to the

exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Owner Trustee, under this Agreement;
(iv) The Owner Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge
of any failure by the Servicer to comply with the
obligations of the Servicer referred to in clauses
(i) or (ii) of Section 13.01, or of any failure by
the Transferor to comply with the obligations of the
Transferor referred to in clause (ii) of Section
13.01, unless a Responsible Officer of the Owner
Trustee receives written notice of such failure (it
being understood that knowledge of the Servicer or
the Servicer as custodian, in its capacity as agent
for the Owner Trustee, is not attributable to the
Owner Trustee) from the Servicer or the Transferor,
as the case may be; and
(v) Without limiting the generality of this Section or
Section 14.04, the Owner Trustee shall have no duty
(A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of
this Agreement or any agreement referred to therein
or any financing statement evidencing a security
interest in the Receivables or the Financed Vehicles,
or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or
filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling
or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any
insurance of the Financed Vehicles or Obligors or to
effect or maintain any such insurance, (C) to see to

verify the contents of any reports or certificates of
the Servicer delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant
to this Agreement believed by the Owner Trustee to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the

Financed Vehicles at any time or ascertain or inquire
as to the performance or observance of any of the
Transferor's or the Servicer's representations,
warranties or covenants or the Servicer's duties and
obligations as Servicer and as custodian of the
Receivable Files under this Agreement.
The Owner Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability shall not be reasonably assured to it,
and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event
require the Owner Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of
performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement
except during such time, if any, as the Owner Trustee shall be the successor to,
and be vested with the rights, duties, powers, and privileges of, the Servicer
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except for actions expressly
authorized by this Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall take no action reasonably
likely to impair the security interests created or existing under any Receivable
or to impair the value of any Receivable.
SECTION 14.02 Owner Trustee's Certificate. On or as soon as
practicable after each Payment Date on which Receivables shall be (i) assigned
to BVAC pursuant to Section 7.02 or deemed to be assigned to the Transferor as a
result of the application of Available Funds in respect of Charged-Off
Receivables pursuant to Sections 9.04 or (ii) assigned to the Servicer pursuant
to Section 8.10 or to the Servicer pursuant to Section 15.02, the Owner Trustee
shall, at the written request of the Servicer, execute a Owner Trustee's
Certificate, substantially in the form of, in the case of an assignment to BVAC,
Exhibit 1, or, in the case of an assignment to the Servicer, Exhibit 2, based on
the information contained in the Servicer's Certificate for the related
Collection Period, amounts deposited to the Collection Account, and notices
received pursuant to this Agreement, identifying the Receivables repurchased or
deemed to be repurchased by BVAC pursuant to Section 7.02 or 8.08 or purchased
by the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.10 or the Servicer pursuant to Section
15.02 during such Collection Period, and shall deliver such Owner Trustee's
Certificate, accompanied by a copy of the Servicer's Certificate for such
Collection Period to BVAC or the Servicer, as the case may be. The Owner
Trustee's Certificate shall be an assignment pursuant to Section 14.03.
SECTION 14.03 Owner Trustee's Assignment of Purchased Receivables.
With respect to each Receivable repurchased by BVAC pursuant to Section 7.02, or
deemed to be so repurchased pursuant to Section 8.08, purchased by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 8.10 or the Servicer pursuant to Section 15.02, the Owner
Trustee shall assign, as of the last day of the Collection Period during which
such Receivable became a Charged-Off Receivable or became subject to repurchase
by BVAC or purchase by the Servicer, without recourse, representation, or
warranty, to BVAC or the Servicer (as the case may be) all the Owner Trustee's
right, title, and
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
52
interest in and to such Receivables, and all security and documents relating
thereto, such assignment being an assignment outright and not for security. 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 the Receivable, the Owner Trustee
shall, at the Servicer's expense, take such steps as the Owner Trustee deems
necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in its name and/or
the name of the Indenture Trustee.
Section 14.04 Certain Matters Affecting the Owner Trustee. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 14.01:
(i) The Owner Trustee may rely and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
Officers' Certificate, Servicer's Certificate,
certificate of auditors, or any other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, appraisal, bond, or other
paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties.
(ii) The Owner Trustee may consult with counsel and any
written advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full
and complete authorization and protection in respect
of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it
under this Agreement in good faith and in accordance
with such written advice or Opinion of Counsel.
(iii) The Owner Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by
this Agreement, or to institute, conduct, or defend
any litigation under this Agreement or in relation to
this Agreement, at the request, order, or direction
of any of the Certificateholders pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, unless such
Certificateholders shall have offered to the Owner
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Owner Trustee against the costs,
expenses, and liabilities that may be incurred
therein or thereby. Nothing contained in this
Agreement, however, shall relieve the Owner Trustee
of the obligations, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Servicer Default (that shall not have been cured),
to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of his own affairs.
(iv) The Owner Trustee shall not be liable for any action
taken, suffered, or omitted by it in good faith and
believed by it to be authorized or within the
discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Agreement.
(v) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Servicer
Default and after the curing of all Events of
Servicer Default that may have occurred, the Owner
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the facts of matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
53
report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
bond, or other paper or document, unless requested in
writing so to do by the Indenture Trustee or holders
of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the
outstanding principal balance of the Notes; provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time
to the Owner Trustee of the costs, expenses, or
liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making
of such investigation shall be, in the opinion of the
Owner Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Owner
Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms
of this Agreement, the Owner Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense, or
liability as a condition to so proceeding. The
reasonable expense of every such examination shall be
paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the Owner
Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon
demand. Nothing in this clause (v) shall affect the
obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable
law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding
the Obligors.
(vi) The Owner Trustee may execute any of the trusts or
powers hereunder or perform any duties under this
Agreement either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys or a custodian. The Owner Trustee shall not
be responsible for any misconduct or negligence
solely attributable to the acts or omissions of the
Servicer in its capacity as Servicer or custodian or
the Administrator.
(vii) The Owner Trustee shall have no duty of independent
inquiry, except as may be required by Section 14.01,
and the Owner Trustee may rely upon the
representations and warranties and covenants of the
Transferor and the Servicer contained in this
Agreement with respect to the Receivables and the
Receivable Files.
SECTION 14.05 Owner Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or
Receivables. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than
the certificate of authentication on the Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of the Transferor or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Owner
Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner Trustee
shall make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the certificate of authentication
on the Certificates), or of any Receivable or related document. The Owner
Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with
respect to the legality, validity, and enforceability of any security interest
in any Financed Vehicle or any Receivable, or the perfection and priority of
such a security interest or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority,
or for or with respect to the efficacy of the Trust or its ability to generate
the payments to be distributed to the Certificateholders or the Noteholders
under this Agreement or the Indenture, including, without limitation: the
existence, condition, location, and ownership of any Financed Vehicle; the
existence and enforceability of any physical damage insurance, lender's single
interest insurance, or credit life or disability and hospitalization insurance
with respect to any Receivable; the existence and contents of any Receivable or
any computer or other record thereof; the validity of the assignment of any
Receivable to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of
any Receivable; the performance or enforcement of any Receivable; the compliance
by the Transferor or the
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
54
Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any
related document and the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior
to the Owner Trustee's receipt of notice or other discovery of any noncompliance
therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by the Servicer or any
loss resulting therefrom (it being understood that the Owner Trustee shall
remain responsible for any Trust property that it may hold); the acts or
omissions of the Transferor, the Servicer, or any Obligor; an action of the
Servicer taken in the name of the Owner Trustee; or any action by the Owner
Trustee taken at the instruction of the Servicer; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not relieve the Owner Trustee of its obligation to perform its
duties under this Agreement. Except with respect to a claim based on the failure
of the Owner Trustee to perform its duties under this Agreement or based on the
Owner Trustee's negligence or willful misconduct, no recourse shall be had for
any claim based on any provision of this Agreement, the Certificateholders or
the Noteholders, or any Receivable or assignment thereof against the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, the Owner Trustee shall not have any
personal obligation, liability, or duty whatsoever to any Certificateholders or
the Noteholders or any other Person with respect to any such claim, and any such
claim shall be asserted solely against the Trust or any indemnitor who shall
furnish indemnity as provided in this Agreement. The Owner Trustee shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Transferor of any of the
Certificates or Notes or of the proceeds thereof, or for the use or application
of any funds paid to the Transferor or the Servicer in respect of the
Receivables.
SECTION 14.06 Owner Trustee May Own Notes. The Owner Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with
the same rights as it would have if it were not Trustee.
SECTION 14.07 Owner Trustee's and Indenture Trustee's Fees and
Expenses.
(a) The Servicer shall pay to the Owner Trustee, and the
Owner Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which
shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services
rendered by it in the execution of the trusts created by this Agreement
and in the exercise and performance of any of the Owner Trustee's
powers and duties under this Agreement and the Indenture, and the
Servicer shall pay or reimburse the Owner Trustee upon its request for
all reasonable expenses, disbursements, and advances (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) incurred or
made by the Owner Trustee in accordance with any provisions of this
Agreement and the Indenture, except any such expense, disbursement, or
advance as may be attributable to its willful misfeasance, negligence,
or bad faith, and the Servicer shall indemnify the Owner Trustee
(which, for purposes of this section, shall include its directors,
officers, employees, and agents) for and hold it harmless against any
loss, liability, or expense incurred without willful misfeasance,
negligence, or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of the Trust, including the costs
and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or
duties under this Agreement and the Indenture. Additionally, the
Transferor, pursuant to Section 11.02, and the Servicer, pursuant to
Section 12.02, respectively, shall indemnify the Owner Trustee with
respect to certain matters. This
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
55
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
Indenture or the termination of the Trust and the resignation or
removal of the Owner Trustee.
(b) The Servicer hereby agrees to pay or reimburse the
fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 6.07
of the Indenture.
SECTION 14.08 Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner
Trustee under this Agreement shall at all times be a corporation (i) having an

such State or the United States of America; (iii) authorized under such laws to

$50,000,000; (v) subject to supervision or examination by federal or State

then for the purpose of this Section 14.08, the combined capital and surplus of
such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time
the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 14.08, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in Section 14.09.
SECTION 14.09 Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee. The Owner
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created
by giving written notice thereof to the Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Servicer, with the prior written consent of the Insurer (so
long as it is the Controlling Party), shall promptly appoint a successor Owner
Trustee, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall
be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner
Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.
If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 14.08 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Servicer, or if at any time the Owner Trustee
shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or
a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any
public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation, or
liquidation, then the Servicer may remove the Owner Trustee. If it shall remove
the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the
Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument,
in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Owner
Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a
successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 14.09
shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor
Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 14.10.
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
56
SECTION 14.10 Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee
appointed pursuant to Section 14.09 shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to
the Servicer and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of
the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner
Trustee, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor under
this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The
predecessor Owner Trustee shall deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all
documents and statements held by it under this Agreement; and the Servicer and
the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do
such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting
and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties,
and obligations.
No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 14.10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee
shall be eligible pursuant to Section 14.08.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to
this Section 14.10, the Servicer shall mail notice of the successor of such
Trustee under this Agreement to the Indenture Trustee and to all Holders of
Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the
Servicer shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall
cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.
SECTION 14.11 Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any
corporation into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion, or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee
hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section
14.08, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
SECTION 14.12 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Owner Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the
Trust or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located, the Servicer and the
Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver
all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to
act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or
separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person,
in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to
the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 14.12, such powers, duties, obligations, rights, and trusts as the
Servicer and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the
Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case an Event of Servicer Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the
power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this
Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
Owner Trustee
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
57
pursuant to Section 14.08 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment
of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section
14.10.
Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) All rights, powers, duties, and obligations conferred
or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred
upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee
and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it
being understood that such separate trustee or
co-trustee is not authorized to act separately
without the Owner Trustee joining in such act),
except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are
to be performed (whether as Trustee under this
Agreement or as successor to the Servicer under this
Agreement), the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which
event such rights, powers, duties, and obligations
(including the holding of title to the Trust or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed singly by such separate
trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of
the Owner Trustee;
(ii) No trustee under this Agreement shall be personally
liable by reason of any act or omission of any other
trustee under this Agreement; and
(iii) The Servicer and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may
at any time accept the resignation of or remove any
separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request, or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall
be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article XIV. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the
Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign, or be removed, all of its
estates, properties, rights, remedies, and trusts shall vest in and be exercised
by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of
a new or successor Owner Trustee.
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
58
SECTION 14.13 Representations and Warranties of Owner Trustee. The
Owner Trustee shall make the following representations and warranties on which
the Transferor, the Certificateholders and the Secured Parties may rely:
(a) Organization and Existence. The Owner Trustee is a
national banking corporation duly organized and validly existing under
the laws of the State of Delaware and authorized to engage in a banking
and trust business under such laws.
(b) Power and Authority. The Owner Trustee has full
power, authority, and legal right to execute, deliver, and perform this
Agreement, and shall have taken all necessary action to authorize the
execution, delivery, and performance by it of this Agreement.
(c) Duly Executed. This Agreement has been duly executed
and delivered by the Owner Trustee constitutes the legal, valid, and
binding agreement of the Owner Trustee, enforceable in accordance with
its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i)
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, moratorium,
conservatorship, receivership or other similar laws now or hereinafter
in effect relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights in general,
as such laws would apply in the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency,
liquidation, reorganization, moratorium, conservatorship, receivership
or similar occurrence affecting the Owner Trustee, and (ii) general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) as well as concepts of
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.
ARTICLE XV
TERMINATION SERVICER
SECTION 15.01 Termination of the Trust. The respective obligations
and responsibilities of the Transferor, the Servicer, the Standby Servicer, the
Back-up Servicer, Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee created hereby and the
Trust created by this Agreement shall terminate upon (i) the disposition of the
Trust corpus as of the last day of any Collection Period at the direction of the
Servicer, at its option, pursuant to Section 15.02, or (ii) the payment to
Noteholders and the Insurer of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant
to this Agreement, the Indenture and the Insurance Agreement (as set forth in
writing by the Insurer) and the disposition of all property held as part of the
Trust; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by this
Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the date as of which
this Agreement is executed. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee
of any prospective termination pursuant to this Section 15.01. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Trust shall continue and the Owner Trustee shall pursue
recovery of any Preference Amounts under the Policy and the distribution of the
same to Noteholders until the Policy terminates by its own terms.
SECTION 15.02 Optional Disposition of All Receivables. On the last
day of any Collection Period on which the Pool Balance is equal to or less than
10% of the Original Pool Balance, the Servicer shall have the option to cause
the Owner Trustee to sell (to the Servicer or any other person designated by the
Servicer) the corpus of the Trust at a price (the "Optional
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
59
Disposition Price") equal to the fair market value of the Receivables, but not
less than the sum of (x) 100% of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes
(including any overdue principal or interest thereon), (y) accrued and unpaid
interest on such amount computed at a rate equal to the weighted average
Contract Rate, and (z) all amounts due and owing to the Servicer, the Back-up
Servicer, the Standby Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the
Insurer minus any amounts representing payments received on the Receivables not
yet applied to the interest related thereto or to reduce the principal balance
thereof. The proceeds of such sale will be deposited into the Collection Account
for distribution to the Indenture Trustee (and, to the extent applicable, the
Insurer) on the next succeeding Payment Date in accordance with Article VIII of
the Indenture. The Servicer shall notify the Owner Trustee on or before the
Determination Date if the Pool Balance as of the end of the related Collection
Period will be less than or equal to 10% of the Original Pool Balance. The
Servicer shall notify the Owner Trustee on or before the Determination Date if
the Servicer intends to exercise its option to purchase the corpus of the Trust
pursuant to this Section 15.02. Such price shall be deposited to the Collection
Account in immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
Payment Date and, upon notice to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of
such deposit, the Owner Trustee shall transfer the Receivables and the
Receivable Files to the purchaser, whereupon the Notes and the Certificates
shall no longer evidence any right or interest in the Receivables or any
proceeds thereof. The fair market value of the outstanding Receivables for
purposes of this Section 15.02 shall be an amount equal to the average of the
bid prices for such assets taken as a whole, provided to the Servicer by two
independent, nationally recognized dealers in automobile loans substantially
similar to the Receivables.
ARTICLE XVI

other provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holders and on all future Holders of such Notes and of any Notes
issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu
thereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Notes)
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 Holders of Notes; provided, however,

(c) So long as it is the Controlling Party, the Insurer
shall have the right to exercise all rights, including voting rights,
which the Noteholders are entitled to exercise pursuant to this
Agreement, without any consent of such Noteholders; provided, however,

Insurer shall not exercise such rights to amend this Agreement in any
manner that would (i) reduce the amount of, or delay the timing of,
collections of payments on the Receivables or distributions which are
required to be made on any Note, (ii) adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the Holders of any Notes, or (iii) alter the
rights of any such Holder to consent to such amendment.

consent to or to control or direct the actions of the Trust, the
Transferor, the Servicer, the Back-up Servicer, the Standby Servicer,
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, nor shall the consent of the Insurer be required with
respect to any action (or waiver of a right to take action) to be taken
by the Trust, the Transferor, the Servicer, the Back-up Servicer, the
Standby Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the
Noteholders or the Certificateholder.
(e) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the
Certificateholder or the Noteholders pursuant to this Section 16.01 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
61
authorization of the execution thereof by the Certificateholder shall
be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Owner Trustee may
prescribe.

referred to in Section 16.02(i)(1). The Owner Trustee may, but shall
not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the
Owner Trustee's own rights, duties, or immunities under this Agreement.
SECTION 16.02 Protection of Title to Trust.
(a) The Transferor shall execute and file such financing
statements and cause to be executed and filed such continuation

Trustee and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing
receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as
available following such filing.
(b) Neither the Transferor nor the Servicer shall change
its name, identity, or corporate structure in any manner that would,
could, or might make any financing statement or continuation statement
filed by the Transferor in accordance with paragraph (a) above
seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-402(7) of the UCC,
unless it shall have given the Owner Trustee at least 60 days' prior
written notice thereof.
(c) The Transferor and the Servicer shall give the Owner
Trustee at least 60 days' prior written notice of any relocation of its
principal executive office if, as a result of such relocation, the
applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any
amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement
or of any new financing statement (in which case the Servicer shall
file or cause to be filed such amendment or continuation statement or
new financing statement). The Owner Trustee shall be permitted to waive
the 60 day notice period to any shorter period; provided that such UCC
financing statements or amendments have been filed on or before the
effective date of any such waiver. The Servicer shall at all times
maintain each office from which it shall service Receivables, and its
principal executive office, within the United States of America.

Receivable is owned by the Owner Trustee. Indication of the Owner
Trustee's ownership of a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified
on the Servicer's computer systems when, and only when, the Receivable
shall have been paid in full or repurchased.
(f) If at any time the Transferor or the Servicer shall
propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer
any interest in automotive receivables to any prospective purchaser,
lender, or other transferee, the Servicer shall give to such
prospective purchaser, lender, or other transferee computer tapes,
records, or print-outs (including any restored from back-up archives)
that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable,
shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned
by the Owner Trustee and pledged to the Indenture Trustee.
(g) Upon reasonable prior notice, the Servicer shall
permit the Owner Trustee and its agents at any time during normal
business hours to inspect, audit, and make copies of and abstracts from
the Servicer's records regarding any Receivable provided, that such
inspection and audit shall not unreasonably interfere with the

given, or (b) stating that, in the opinion of such
counsel, no such action shall be necessary to
preserve and protect such interest; and
(2) within 90 days after the beginning of each
calendar year beginning with the first calendar year
beginning more than three months after the Cutoff
Date, an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of a date

THIS CERTIFIES THAT Bay View Transaction Corporation, a Delaware
corporation, is the registered owner of a nonassessable, fully-paid interest in
the Bay View _____ Owner Trust (the "Trust"), a Delaware business trust. The
Trust was created pursuant to a Trust and Servicing Agreement dated as of
__________ (the "Agreement"), among Bay View Transaction Corporation as
Transferor, Bay View Acceptance Corporation, as Servicer, ______, as Back-up
Servicer, ________, as Standby Servicer, _________, as Indenture Trustee and
____________________ (the "Owner Trustee"), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. A copy of the Agreement may be
examined during normal business hours at the Corporate Trust Office of the Owner
Trustee by any Certificateholder upon request. To the extent not otherwise
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to
them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions, and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such holder is bound. The property of the Trust includes a pool of simple
and precomputed interest loan and security agreements and installment sales
contracts for new and used automobiles, light-duty trucks, sports utility
vehicles, vans, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and vans (the "Receivables"),
all monies paid thereon, and all monies due thereon, including Accrued Interest,
after __________ (but excluding Accrued Interest paid or due before the Closing

including the right to receive a portion of the collections and other amounts at

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been
executed by a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual or facsimile
signature, this Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit
under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose. Registration of transfer of
this Certificate to a person may not be effected unless (a) the Insurer consents
to such transfer, (b) such transfer will not adversely affect the tax treatment
of the Trust or the Notes, and (c) the Rating Agency Condition has been
satisfied with respect to such transfer.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the
Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of
all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement and the
disposition of all property held as part of the Trust. The Servicer may at its
option cause the Owner Trustee to sell the corpus of the Trust at a price not to
be less than the price specified in the Agreement; however, such right is
exercisable only as of the last day of a Collection Period on which the Pool
Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the Original Pool Balance. The
Certificateholders are required to pay any unpaid fees and expenses of the Owner
Trustee and in connection with such disposition.
Although this Certificate summarizes certain provisions of the
Agreement, this Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for information with respect to the
interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby
and the rights, duties and obligations of the Owner Trustee. In the event of any
inconsistency or conflict between the terms of this Certificate and the terms of
the Agreement, the terms of the Agreement shall control. By acceptance of this
Certificate, the holder agrees to be bound by the terms of the Agreement,
including the agreement to treat the Trust as a partnership for income tax
purposes and the Certificates as an equity interest therein.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust and not in
its individual capacity has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.
