ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF PURCHASED ASSETS
SECTION 2.1 Conveyance of Purchased Assets. (a) In consideration of the
Issuer's sale and delivery to, or upon the order of, the Seller of all of the
Notes and the Certificate on the Closing Date, the Seller does hereby
irrevocably sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Issuer without
recourse (subject to the obligations herein) all right, title and interest of
the Seller, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Initial
Transferred Assets, described in an Assignment in the form of Exhibit C
delivered on the Closing Date. The transfer, assignment and conveyance made
hereunder will not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by
the Issuer of any obligation of the Seller or the Originator to the Obligors,
the Dealers or any other Person in connection with the Receivables and the other
assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or
instrument related thereto.
(b) In consideration of the payment of the purchase price from the
Pre-Funding Account, on each Funding Date the Seller does hereby sell, transfer,
assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer without recourse (subject to
the obligations herein) all right, title and interest of the Seller, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Subsequent Transferred Assets,
described in an Assignment in the form of Exhibit C delivered on such Funding
Date. The purchase of the Subsequent Transferred Assets on each Funding Date
shall be made in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and this Agreement. The
transfer, assignment and conveyance made hereunder will not constitute and is
not intended to result in an assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of the
Seller or the Originator to the Obligors, the Dealers or any other Person in
connection with the Receivables and the other assets and properties conveyed
hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto.
SECTION 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Seller as to each
Receivable. On the date hereof or on each Funding Date, as the case may be, the
Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule I
as to the Receivables transferred, assigned, set over, sold and otherwise
conveyed to the Issuer under this Agreement on which such representations and
warranties the Issuer relies in acquiring the Receivables. Such representations
and warranties speak, with respect to any Receivable, as of the applicable
Cut-Off Date for such Receivable, but shall survive the Grant of the Receivables
by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document, the Seller shall not be required to notify any insurer
with respect to any Insurance Policy obtained by an Obligor or to notify any
Dealer about any aspect of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.
SECTION 2.3 Repurchase upon Breach. Upon discovery by any party hereto of a
breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2 at
the time such representations and warranties were made which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other
parties hereto; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
any obligation of the Seller hereunder. If the Seller does not correct or cure
such breach prior to the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th
day (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier date) after the date that the Seller
became aware or was notified of such breach, then the Seller
2
shall purchase any Receivable affected by such breach which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Issuer and the Noteholders from the
Issuer on the Payment Date following the end of such Collection Period. Any such
breach or failure will not be deemed to have a material and adverse effect if
such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer to receive and
retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the
Seller shall be at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. In consideration for
such repurchase, the Seller shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to
the Issuer equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing such amount into the
Collection Account prior to noon, New York City time on such Payment Date. Upon
payment of such Repurchase Price by the Seller, the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release,
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as
shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee any
Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the
right to cause the Seller to purchase (or to enforce the obligations of COAF
under the Purchase Agreement to purchase) any Receivable as described above
shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee
will have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence
of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this
Section 2.3.
SECTION 2.4 Custody of Receivable Files.
(a) Custody. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to
reduce administrative costs, the Issuer, upon the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, hereby revocably appoints the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby
accepts such appointment, to act as the agent of the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee as custodian of the following documents or instruments, which are hereby
or will hereby be constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee
of the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture with respect to each Receivable (but
only to the extent applicable to such Receivable and only to the extent held in
tangible paper form) (the "Receivable Files"):
(i) the fully executed original of the motor vehicle retail
installment sales contract or the documentary draft and related
note and security agreement related to such Receivable, including
any written amendments or extensions thereto;
(ii) the original credit application or a photocopy thereof to the
extent held in paper form;
(iii) the original Certificate of Title or, if not yet received,
evidence that an application therefore has been submitted with
the appropriate authority, a guaranty of title from a Dealer or
such other document (electronic or otherwise, as used in the
applicable jurisdiction) that the Servicer keeps on file, in
accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, evidencing the
security interest of the Originator in the Financed Vehicle; and
3
(iv) any and all other documents that the Servicer or the Seller keeps
on file, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices,
relating to a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle.
(b) Safekeeping. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold the
Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. In
performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act in accordance with
its Customary Servicing Practices. In accordance with its Customary Servicing
Practices, the Servicer will conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic audits
of the Receivable Files held by it under this Agreement, and of the related
accounts, records, and computer systems, in such a manner as would enable the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to verify the accuracy of the Servicer's record
keeping. The Servicer will promptly report to the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee any failure on its part to hold a material portion of the Receivable
Files and maintain its accounts, records, and computer systems as herein
provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.
Nothing herein will be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic
review by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee of the Receivable Files.
(c) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer will maintain each
Receivable File at one of its offices in the United States, or at such other
location as specified to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by written notice
not later than ninety (90) days after any change in location (it being
understood that the Receivable Files, or any part thereof, may be maintained at
the offices of any Person to whom the Servicer has delegated responsibilities in
accordance with Section 6.5). The Servicer will make available to the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or
auditors a list of locations of the Receivable Files upon request. The Servicer
will provide access to the Receivable Files, and the related accounts records,
and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times as the Issuer or
the Indenture Trustee direct, but only upon reasonable notice and during the
normal business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer.
(d) Release of Documents. Upon written instructions from the Indenture
Trustee, the Servicer will release or cause to be released any document in the
Receivable Files to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee's agent or the
Indenture Trustee's designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the
Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon thereafter as is practicable. Any
document so released will be handled by the Indenture Trustee with due care and
returned to the Servicer for safekeeping as soon as the Indenture Trustee or its
agent or designee, as the case may be, has no further need therefor.
(e) Instructions; Authority to Act. All instructions from the Indenture
Trustee will be in writing and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Indenture
Trustee, and the Servicer will be deemed to have received proper instructions
with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of such written
instructions.
(f) Custodian's Indemnification. Subject to Section 6.2, the Servicer as
custodian will indemnify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs, or
expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred, or asserted
against the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee as the result of any improper act or
omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer as
4
custodian of the Receivable Files; provided, however, that the Servicer will not
be liable (i) to the Issuer for any portion of any such amount resulting from
the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Indenture Trustee or the
Issuer and (ii) to the Indenture Trustee for any portion of any such amount
resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Indenture
Trustee or the Issuer.
(g) Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer's appointment as
custodian will become effective as of the Cut-Off Date and will continue in full
force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section. If COAF resigns as
Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or if all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer have been terminated under Section 7.1,
the appointment of the Servicer as custodian hereunder may be terminated by the
Indenture Trustee, or by the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than a
majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Controlling Class,
in the same manner as the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholders may terminate
the rights and obligations of the Servicer under Section 7.1. As soon as
practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer will deliver
to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee's agent the Receivable Files
and the related accounts and records maintained by the Servicer at such place or
places as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate.
SECTION 2.5 Funding Events.
(a) A funding event (each, a "Funding Event") shall occur upon a Funding
Date and in accordance with the requirements of this Section.
(b) During the Pre-Funding Period, the Issuer shall, on the Funding Dates,
(i) acquire Subsequent Transferred Assets from the Seller pursuant to Section
2.1(b) (and the Seller shall acquire such Subsequent Transferred Assets from
COAF pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) and (ii) Grant all of the Issuer's
right, title and interest in and to such Subsequent Transferred Assets to the
Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes. Such Subsequent
Transferred Assets shall be acquired at the option of the Issuer upon
instruction from the Servicer; provided that such Subsequent Transferred Assets
may not be acquired through the Pre-Funding Account if the effect of such
acquisition would be to (i) reduce the weighted average contract rate of the
Receivables included in the Transferred Assets to less than 5.00%, (ii) increase
the weighted average remaining term to maturity of the Receivables included in
the Transferred Assets to greater than 58 months or (iii) increase the portion
of the Receivables included in the Transferred Assets due from Obligors having a
billing address in any given state to a level greater than 10% of the aggregate
Principal Balance of the Receivables (except with respect to California).
(c) The following procedures shall be followed to effect a Funding Event:
(i) COAF will package and forward or cause to be packaged and
forwarded to the Servicer the Receivables File with respect to each
Subsequent Receivable.
(ii) By the Funding Date, the Issuer shall deliver, or cause to be
delivered, to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer the following:
5
(1) a Notice of Funding Date (in the form of Exhibit A hereto) with
the related Schedule of Receivables delivered by the Seller with
respect thereto; and
(2) a Joint Officer's Certificate of COAF, the Seller and the Issuer
(in the form of Exhibit B hereto).
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF
RECEIVABLES AND TRUST PROPERTY
SECTION 3.1 Duties of Servicer.
(a) The Servicer is hereby appointed by the Issuer and authorized to act as
agent for the Issuer and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and
make collections on the Receivables in accordance with its Customary Servicing
Practices, using the degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises
with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for
itself or others. The Servicer's duties will include collection and posting of
all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables,
investigating delinquencies, sending invoices or payment coupons to Obligors,
reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections and furnishing
monthly and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee with respect to
distributions. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and authorization
and agrees to perform the duties of Servicer with respect to the Receivables set
forth herein.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is
hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the
Certificateholders, 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 commences a legal proceeding to
enforce a Receivable, the Issuer will thereupon be deemed to have automatically
assigned, solely for the purpose of collection, such Receivable to the Servicer.
If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may
not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it is not a real party in interest
or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the Issuer will, at the
Servicer's expense and direction, take steps to enforce the Receivable,
including bringing suit in its name or the names of the Indenture Trustee. The
Issuer will furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents
reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer, at its expense,
will obtain on behalf of the Issuer all licenses, if any, required by the laws
of any jurisdiction to be held by the Issuer in connection with ownership of the
Receivables, and will make all filings and pay all fees as may be required in
connection therewith during the term hereof.
(c) The Servicer hereby agrees that upon its resignation and the
appointment of a successor Servicer hereunder, the Servicer will terminate its
activities as Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.1, and, in any
case, in a manner which the Indenture Trustee reasonably determines will
facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to such
successor Servicer, and the Servicer shall cooperate with and assist such
successor Servicer.
6
SECTION 3.2 Collection of Receivable Payments. The Servicer will make
reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Receivables as and when the same becomes due in accordance
with its Customary Servicing Practices. Subject to Section 3.5, the Servicer may
grant extensions, rebates, deferrals, amendments, modifications or adjustments
on a Receivable in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices; provided,
however, that if the Servicer extends the date for final payment by the Obligor
of any Receivable beyond the last day of the Collection Period prior to the
Class B Final Scheduled Payment Date, it will promptly purchase such Receivable
in the manner provided in Section 3.6. The Servicer may in its discretion waive
any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary
course of servicing a Receivable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, the Servicer may refinance any Receivable by accepting a new
promissory note from the related Obligor and depositing the full outstanding
Principal Balance of such Receivable into the Collection Account. The receivable
created by such refinancing shall not be property of the Issuer.
SECTION 3.3 Realization Upon Receivables. On behalf of the Issuer, the
Servicer will use reasonable efforts, consistent with its Customary Servicing
Practices, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed
Vehicle securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer had determined eventual
payment in full is unlikely unless it determines in its sole discretion that
repossession will not increase the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater
than the expense of such repossession. The Servicer will follow such Customary
Servicing Practices as it deems necessary or advisable, which may include
reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to any Dealer and selling the
Financed Vehicle at public or private sale. The foregoing will be subject to the
provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle has suffered damage,
the Servicer shall not be required to expend funds in connection with the repair
or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it determines in its sole
discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Liquidation
Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.
SECTION 3.4 Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The
Servicer will, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, take such
steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created
by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The Issuer hereby authorizes
the Servicer to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security
interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the
relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason.
SECTION 3.5 Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer will not (i) release the
Financed Vehicle securing each such Receivable from the security interest
granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except in the event of payment in
full by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or payment in full less a
deficiency which the Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with
its Customary Servicing Practices or in connection with repossession or except
as may be required by an insurer in order to receive proceeds from any Insurance
Policy covering such Financed Vehicle or (ii) reduce the Contract Rate or
Principal Balance with respect to any Receivable other than as required by
applicable law.
SECTION 3.6 Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. Upon discovery by any
party hereto of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 3.2, 3.3,
3.4 or 3.5 which
7
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to
the other parties hereto; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall
not affect any obligation of the Servicer hereunder. If the Servicer does not
correct or cure such breach prior to the end of the Collection Period which
includes the 60th day (or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier date) after the
date that the Servicer became aware or was notified of such breach, then the
Servicer shall purchase any Receivable affected by such breach which materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer and the Noteholders from the
Issuer on the Payment Date following the end of such Collection Period. Any such
breach or failure will not be deemed to have a material and adverse effect if
such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer to receive and
retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the
Servicer shall be at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. In consideration for
such repurchase, the Servicer shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment
to the Issuer equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing such amount into the
Collection Account prior to noon, New York City time on such Payment Date. Upon
payment of such Repurchase Price by the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release,
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as
shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Servicer or its designee any
Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Servicer to purchase any Receivable as described above shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 3.7 Servicing Fee. On each Payment Date, the Issuer shall pay to
the Servicer the Servicing Fee in accordance with Section 4.4 for the
immediately preceding Collection Period as compensation for its services. In
addition, the Servicer will be entitled to retain all Supplemental Servicing
Fees.
SECTION 3.8 Servicer's Certificate. On the Determination Date preceding
each Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and each
Paying Agent, with a copy to each of the Rating Agencies, a Servicer's
Certificate containing all information necessary to make the payments, transfers
and distributions pursuant to Sections 4.3 and 4.4 on such Payment Date,
together with the written statements to be furnished by the Indenture Trustee to
the Noteholders pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof and Section 6.6 of the Indenture.
At the sole option of the Servicer, each Servicer's Certificate may be delivered
in electronic or hard copy format.
SECTION 3.9 Annual Officer's Certificate; Notice of Servicer Termination
Event. (a) The Servicer will deliver to the Rating Agencies, the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee on or before April 30 of each calendar year, beginning with
April 30, 200_, an Officer's Certificate, dated as of December 31 of the
preceding calendar year, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the
Servicer during the preceding calendar year (or since the Closing Date, in the
case of the first such Officer's Certificate) and of its performance under this
Agreement was made under the supervision of the officer signing such certificate
and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the
Servicer has performed in all material respects its obligations under this
Agreement throughout such year (or since the Closing Date, in the case of the
first such Officer's Certificate), or, if there has been a material default in
the performance of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to
such officer and the nature and status thereof.
8
(b) The Servicer will deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and each
Rating Agency promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof written notice in
an Officer's Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse
of time, or both, would become a Servicer Termination Event.
SECTION 3.10 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Report. The Servicer
shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants, who may also
render other services to the Servicer or to its Affiliates, to deliver to the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies on or before March 15, of
each year, beginning March 15, 200_, a report addressed to the board of
directors of the Servicer, to the effect that such firm has examined the
financial statements of the Servicer or, if applicable, the parent corporation
of the Servicer, and issued its report thereon and that such examination: (a)
was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, (b) included
tests relating to motor vehicle receivables serviced for others in accordance
with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, to the extent

following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date and as of each
Funding Date on which the Issuer will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the

Transferred Assets to the Issuer and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:
(a) Existence and Power. The Seller is a Delaware limited liability company
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of
organization and has, in all material respects, full power and authority to own
its assets and operate its business as presently owned or operated, and to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to
which it is a party or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the
Receivables or any other part of the Transferred Assets. The Seller has obtained

its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or
collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the Transferred Assets.
(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and
performance by the Seller of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party
have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Seller and
do not contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law, rule or
regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any indenture or
agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which its
properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations,
indentures or agreements which do not affect the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or in the
aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions
contemplated by, or the Seller's ability to perform its obligations under, the
Transaction Documents).
(c) No Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with,
any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance
15
by the Seller of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC filings, (ii)
approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings that
have previously been made and (iii) approval, authorizations or filings which,
if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the
enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the
Transferred Assets or would materially and adversely affect the ability of the
Seller to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Seller is a
party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller
enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally and, if applicable, the rights of
creditors of limited liability companies from time to time in effect or by
general principles of equity.
(e) Lien Filings. The Seller is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA
or tax lien filings against the Seller.
(f) No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or,
to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller before or by any

this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seeking to
prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii)

the performance by the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement or any of
the other Transaction Documents or the collectibility or enforceability of the
Receivables, or (iv) relating to the Seller that would materially and adversely
affect the federal or Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar
tax attributes of the Notes.
SECTION 5.2 Liability of Seller; Indemnities. The Seller shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
undertaken by the Seller under this Agreement, and hereby agrees to the
following:
(a) The Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Issuer, the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder
from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the
Seller's violation of federal or State securities laws in connection with the
registration or the sale of the Notes.
(b) The Seller will pay any and all taxes levied or assessed upon the
Issuer or upon all or any part of the Trust Estate.
(c) Indemnification under this Section 5.2 will survive the resignation or
removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and the termination of
this Agreement and will include, without limitation, reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Seller has made any
indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 5.2 and the Person to or on behalf
of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from
others, such Person will promptly repay such amounts to the Seller, without
interest.
16
(d) The Seller's obligations under this Section 5.2 are obligations solely
of the Seller and will not constitute a claim against the Seller to the extent
that the Seller does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such
obligations. In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, the
Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, by entering
into or accepting this Agreement, acknowledge and agree that they have no right,
title or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Seller. To the extent that,
notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding
sentence, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee
either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, or
(ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other
Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable
provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section
1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect
under the Bankruptcy Code), then the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee
or the Owner Trustee further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest,
claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly subordinated
to the indefeasible payment in full, which, under the terms of the relevant
documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are
entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by
such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is
legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or
application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not
asserted against the Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on
such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement will be
deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Trustee each further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law
exists for a breach of this Section 5.2(d) and the terms of this Section 5.2(d)
may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this
Section 5.2(d) will be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely
thereon and will survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 5.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations
of, Seller. Any Person (i) into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated,
(ii) resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which the Seller
is a party, (iii) succeeding to the business of the Seller, or (iv) more than
50% of the voting stock or voting power and 50% or more of the economic equity
of which is owned directly or indirectly by Capital One Financial Corporation,
which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption
to perform every obligation of the Seller under this Agreement, will be the
successor to the Seller under this Agreement without the execution or filing of
any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller enters into any of the
foregoing transactions and is not the surviving entity, (x) the Seller shall
deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel each stating that such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession
and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 5.3 and that all
conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such
transaction have been complied with and (y) the Seller will deliver to the
Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion
of such counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements and
amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to
preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee,
respectively, in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings, or
(B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to
preserve and protect such interest. The Seller will provide notice of any
merger, conversion, consolidation, or
17
succession pursuant to this Section 5.3 to the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the foregoing agreement of
assumption and compliance with clauses (x) and (y) of this Section 5.3 will be
conditions to the consummation of any of the transactions referred to in clauses
(i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 5.3 in which the Seller is not the surviving
entity.
SECTION 5.4 Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others. The Seller and
any officer or employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on the
advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed
and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Seller
will not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal
action that is not incidental to its obligations under this Agreement, and that
in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.
SECTION 5.5 Seller May Own Notes. The Seller, and any Affiliate of the
Seller, may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee
of Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Seller or an
Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the other
Transaction Documents. Except as set forth herein or in the other Transaction
Documents, Notes so owned by the Seller or any such Affiliate will have an equal
and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, without preference, priority, or distinction as among all
of the Notes. Notes owned by the Issuer, Seller, Servicer, Administrator or any
of their respective Affiliates shall be disregarded with respect to the
determination of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
vote or waiver hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.

are required to be filed or any certification is required to be made with
respect to the Issuer or the Notes pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act , the

authorized to file such document or certification on behalf of the Issuer.

doubt, the Servicer will not indemnify for any costs, expenses, losses, claims,
damages or liabilities due to the credit risk of the Obligor and for which
reimbursement would constitute recourse for uncollectible Receivables.
(c) The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders
and the Seller from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims,
damages, and liabilities to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim,
damage, or liability arose out of, or was imposed upon any such Person through,
the negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith (other than errors in
judgment) of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, or by reason of its
failure to perform its obligations or of reckless disregard of its obligations
and duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is
a party.
(d) The Servicer will indemnify [NAME OF OWNER TRUSTEE] in its individual
capacity and as trustee and its successors, assigns, directors, officers,
employees and agents (the "Indemnified Parties") from and against, any and all
loss, liability, expense, tax, penalty or claim (including reasonable legal fees
and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against [NAME OF OWNER TRUSTEE] in its individual
capacity and as trustee or any Indemnified Party in any way relating to or
arising out of the Trust Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Trust
Estate, the administration of the Trust Estate or the action or inaction of
[NAME OF OWNER TRUSTEE] under the Trust Agreement; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall not be liable for or required to indemnify [NAME OF OWNER
TRUSTEE] from and against any of the foregoing expenses arising or resulting
from (i) its own willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence, (ii) the
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 7.3 of the
Trust Agreement expressly made by [NAME OF OWNER TRUSTEE] in its individual
capacity, (iii) liabilities arising from the
20
failure of [NAME OF OWNER TRUSTEE] to perform obligations expressly undertaken
by it in the last sentence of Section 6.4 of the Trust Agreement or (iv) taxes,
fees or other charges on, based on or measured by, any fees, commissions or
compensation received by the Owner Trustee. To the extent not paid by the
Servicer, such indemnification shall be paid in accordance with Section 4.4 of
this Agreement or Section 5.4(b) of the Indenture. The Servicer will compensate
the Indenture Trustee and indemnify the Indenture Trustee to the extent and
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.7 of the Indenture, except to
the extent that any cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out
of or is incurred in connection with the performance by the Indenture Trustee of
the duties of a Successor Servicer hereunder.
(e) Indemnification under this Section 6.2 by COAF (or any successor
thereto pursuant to Section 7.1) as Servicer, with respect to the period such
Person was the Servicer, will survive the termination of such Person as Servicer
or a resignation by such Person as Servicer as well as the termination of this
Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee and will include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of
litigation. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this
Section 6.2 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made
thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person will promptly
repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest.
SECTION 6.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations
of, Servicer. Any Person (i) into which the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to
which the Servicer is a party, (iii) succeeding to the business of the Servicer,
or (iv) any company or other business entity of which Capital One Financial
Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting stock or
voting power and 50% or more of the economic equity, which Person in any of the
foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation
of the Servicer under this Agreement, will be the successor to the Servicer
under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Servicer enters into any of the foregoing transactions and is
not the surviving entity, (x) the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture
Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that
such merger, conversion, consolidation, or succession and such agreement of
assumption comply with this Section 6.3 and that all conditions precedent
provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied
with and (y) the Servicer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing
statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed
and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in the Receivables, and reciting
the details of such filings, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such
counsel, no such action is necessary to preserve and protect such interests. The
Servicer will provide notice of any merger, conversion, consolidation or
succession pursuant to this Section 6.3 to the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the foregoing agreement of
assumption and compliance with clauses (x) and (y) of this Section 6.3 will be
conditions to the consummation of any of the transactions referred to in clauses
(i), (ii), or (iii) of this Section 6.3 in which the Servicer is not the
surviving entity.
SECTION 6.4 Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others. (a) Neither the
Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the
Servicer will be under
21
any liability to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the
Noteholders or the Certificateholders, except as provided under this Agreement,
for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to
this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
will not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability that
would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance or bad faith in the
performance of duties or by reason of its failure to perform its obligations or
of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement, or by
reason of negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement
(except for errors in judgment). The Servicer and any director, officer or
employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any Opinion of
Counsel or on any Officer's Certificate of the Seller or certificate of auditors
believed to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party in respect of
any matters arising under this Agreement.
(b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer will not be under
any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal action that is not
incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this
Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability;
provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it
may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and
duties of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders and
Certificateholders under this Agreement. In such event, the legal expenses and
costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom will be expenses,
costs and liabilities of the Servicer.
SECTION 6.5 Delegation of Duties. The Servicer may, at any time without
notice or consent, delegate (a) any or all of its duties (including, without
limitation, its duties as custodian) under the Transaction Documents to any of
its Affiliates or (b) specific duties to sub-contractors who are in the business
of performing such duties; provided, that no such delegation shall relieve the
Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties and the Servicer
shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for
its duties hereunder as if the Servicer alone were performing such duties.
SECTION 6.6 COAF Not to Resign as Servicer. Subject to the provisions of
Sections 6.3 and 6.5, (a) COAF will not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except upon determination
that the performance of its duties under this Agreement by reason of a change in
applicable legal requirements is no longer permissible under applicable law and
(b) COAF will not assign this Agreement or any of its rights, powers, duties or
obligations hereunder. Notice of any such determination permitting the
resignation of COAF will be communicated to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing,
will be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such
determination will be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect
delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee concurrently with or promptly
after such notice. No such resignation will become effective until a successor
Servicer has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of COAF as Servicer.
SECTION 6.7 Servicer May Own Securities. The Servicer, and any Affiliate of
the Servicer, may, in its individual or any other capacity, become the owner or
pledgee of Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the
Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein
or in the other Transaction Documents. Except as set forth
22
herein or in the other Transaction Documents, Securities so owned by or pledged
to the Notes or such Affiliate will have an equal and proportionate benefit
under the provisions of this Agreement, without preference, priority or
distinction as among all of the Notes.
ARTICLE VII
TERMINATION OF SERVICER
SECTION 7.1 Termination of Servicer.
(a) If a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Indenture Trustee may, at the direction of a majority of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Controlling Class, by notice given to the
Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrator, the Noteholders and
each Rating Agency, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under
this Agreement with respect to the Receivables. In the event the Servicer is
removed or resigns as Servicer with respect to servicing the Receivables, the
Indenture Trustee shall appoint a successor Servicer. Upon the Servicer's
receipt of notice of termination the predecessor Servicer will continue to
perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement only until the date
specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in such
termination notice, until receipt of such notice. If a successor Servicer has
not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer ceases to act as
Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further
action will automatically be appointed the successor Servicer. Notwithstanding
the above, the Indenture Trustee, if it is legally unable or is unwilling to so
act, will appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a
successor Servicer. Any successor Servicer shall be an established institution
having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business
includes the servicing of comparable motor vehicle receivables having an
aggregate outstanding principal amount of not less than $50,000,000.
(b) Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Controlling Class may waive any Servicer
Termination Event.
(c) If replaced, the Servicer agrees that it will use commercially
reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing
of the Receivables to a successor Servicer.
(d) Upon the effectiveness of the assumption by the successor Servicer of
its duties pursuant to this Section 7.1, the successor Servicer shall be the
successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this
Agreement with respect to the Receivables, and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, except with respect
to the obligations of the predecessor Servicer that survive its termination as
Servicer, including indemnification obligations as set forth in Section 6.2(e).
In such event, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner 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 termination and replacement of the Servicer, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents,
or otherwise. No Servicer
23
shall resign or be relieved of its duties under this Agreement, as Servicer of
the Receivables, until a newly appointed Servicer for the Receivables shall have
assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning or terminated
Servicer under this Agreement.
(e) In connection with such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make
such arrangements for the compensation of the successor Servicer out of
Available Funds as it and such successor Servicer will agree; provided, however,
that no such compensation will be in excess of the amount paid to the
predecessor Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 7.2 Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination of, or
appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII, the
Indenture Trustee will give prompt written notice thereof to the Owner Trustee,
the Issuer, the Administrator, each Rating Agency and to the Noteholders at
their respective addresses of record.
ARTICLE VIII
OPTIONAL PURCHASE
SECTION 8.1 Optional Purchase of Trust Estate. The Servicer shall have the
right at its option (the "Optional Purchase") to purchase the Trust Estate from
the Issuer on any Payment Date if, either before or after giving effect to any
payment of principal required to be made on such Payment Date, the aggregate
Pool Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the sum of the initial Pool Balance
plus the Initial Pre-Funding Account Deposit Amount. The purchase price for the
Trust Estate shall equal the Redemption Price (the "Optional Purchase Price"),
which amount shall be deposited by the Servicer into the Collection Account on
the Redemption Date. If the Servicer exercises the Optional Purchase, the Notes
shall be redeemed and in each case in whole but not in part on the related
Payment Date for the Redemption Price.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 9.1 Amendment.
(a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller
and the Servicer without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder,
the Issuer or the Owner Trustee; provided that such amendment shall not, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the
Owner Trustee materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders,
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee.
(b) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller
and the Servicer but without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any
Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other Person to add, modify or
eliminate any provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to enable the
Seller, the Servicer or any of their Affiliates to comply with or obtain more
favorable treatment under any law or regulation or any accounting rule or
principle, it being a condition to any such amendment that the Rating Agency
Condition shall have been satisfied.
24
(c) This Agreement (including Appendix A) may also be amended from time to
time by Seller, Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the
Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, voting as a single class, for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Noteholders; provided that no such amendment shall (i) reduce the interest
rate or principal amount of any Note, change the timing of distributions on any
Note or delay the Final Scheduled Payment Date of any Note without the consent
of the Holder of such Note, (ii) reduce the percentage of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, the Holders of which are
required to consent to any matter without the consent of the Holders of at least
the percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Outstanding
Notes which were required to consent to such matter before giving effect to such
amendment; provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee may not agree to any
amendment to this Agreement if such amendment failed to comply with the
requirements of Section 9.2 of the Indenture. It will not be necessary for the
consent of Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment
or consent, but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance
thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of
Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization
of the execution thereof by Noteholders will be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment
of record dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement.
(d) Prior to the execution of any such amendment, the Servicer shall
provide written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating
Agency; and promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the
Servicer shall furnish a copy of such amendment or consent to each Rating Agency
and the Indenture Trustee.
(e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Seller,
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and
conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions
precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied.
The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such amendment which adversely affects the Owner Trustee's or the
Indenture Trustee's, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this
Agreement. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this
Agreement may not be amended in any way that would adversely affect the Owner
Trustee's rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations under this
Agreement, the Transaction Documents or otherwise without the prior written
consent of the Owner Trustee.
SECTION 9.2 Protection of Title.
(a) The Seller shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause
to be authorized and filed such continuation and other statements, all in such
manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain
and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee under this
Agreement in the Receivables. The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be
delivered) to the Issuer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any
document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.
25
(b) Neither the Seller nor the Servicer shall change its name, identity,
organizational structure or jurisdiction of organization in any manner that
would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller
in accordance with paragraph (a) above "seriously misleading" within the meaning
of Sections 9-506, 9-507 or 9-508 of the UCC, unless it shall have given the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least five days' prior written notice
thereof and, to the extent necessary, has promptly filed amendments to
previously filed financing statements or continuation statements described in
paragraph (a) above.
(c) The Seller shall give the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least
five days' prior written notice of any change of location of the Seller for
purposes of Section 9-307 of the UCC and shall have taken all action prior to
making such change (or shall have made arrangements to take such action
substantially simultaneously with such change, if it is not possible to take
such action in advance) reasonably necessary or advisable to amend all
previously filed financing statements or continuation statements described in
paragraph (a) above.
(d) The Servicer shall maintain (or shall cause its Sub-Servicer to
maintain) accounts and records as to each Receivable accurately and in
sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the
status of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments
owing (and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or
recoveries on (or with respect to) each Receivable and the amounts from time to
time deposited in the Collection Account in respect of such Receivable.
(e) The Servicer shall maintain (or shall cause its Sub-Servicer to
maintain) its computer systems so that, from time to time after the conveyance
under this Agreement of the Receivables, the master computer records (including
any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the
interest of the Issuer in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by
the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture. Indication of the Issuer's interest in a Receivable shall not be
deleted from or modified on such computer systems until, and only until, the
related Receivable shall have been paid in full or repurchased.
(f) If at any time the Servicer shall propose to sell, grant a security
interest in or otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle receivables to
any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Servicer shall give
to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes,
records or printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they
shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly
that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Issuer and has been
pledged to the Indenture Trustee.
(g) The Servicer, upon receipt of reasonable prior notice, shall permit the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and their respective agents at any time
during normal business hours to inspect, audit and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, make copies of and abstracts from Servicer's (or any
Sub-Servicer's) records regarding any Receivable.
(h) Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Issuer or to the
Indenture Trustee, within thirty Business Days, a list of all Receivables (by
contract number and name of Obligor)
26
then owned by the Issuer, together with a reconciliation of such list to each of
the Servicer's Certificate's furnished before such request indicating removal of
Receivables from the Issuer.
SECTION 9.3 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances and grants
of security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, the Seller shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Receivables
or other property transferred to the Issuer to any other Person, or grant,
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens)
on any interest therein, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and
interest of the Issuer in, to and under such Receivables and other property
transferred to the Issuer against all claims of third parties claiming through
or under the Seller.
SECTION 9.4 Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest.
(a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the
transfers contemplated and effected under this Agreement are complete and
absolute sales and transfers rather than pledges or assignments of only a
security interest and shall be given effect as such for all purposes. It is
further the intention of the parties hereto that the Receivables and related
Transferred Assets shall not be part of the Seller's estate in the event of a
bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller. The sales and transfers by the Seller of
Receivables and related Transferred Assets hereunder are and shall be without
recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, the Seller,
except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse
specified herein against the Seller are intended to provide a remedy for breach
of representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property
sold, rather than to the collectibility of the Receivables.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and
other Transferred Assets are held to be property of the Seller, or if for any
reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security
interest in the Receivables and other Transferred Assets, then it is intended
that:
(i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within
the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other
applicable jurisdiction;
(ii) The conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be
a grant by the Seller, and the Seller hereby grants, to the
Issuer of a security interest in all of its right (including the
power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Receivables and other
Transferred Assets, to secure such indebtedness and the
performance of the obligations of the Seller hereunder;
(iii) The possession by the Issuer, or the Servicer as the Issuer's
agent, of the Receivables Files and any other property as
constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel
paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured party" or
possession by the purchaser or a person designated by such
purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security
27
interest pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code and the
Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction; and
(iv) Notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding
such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or
agents (as applicable) of the Issuer for the purpose of
perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
SECTION 9.5 Notices, Etc. All demands, notices and communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified
first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier
service, or by Electronic Transmission, and addressed in each case as follows:

however, that any notice to a Noteholder mailed within the time prescribed in
this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether
or not the Noteholder shall receive such notice.
SECTION 9.6 Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL, SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW

SECTION 9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but
all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same

SECTION 9.9 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Servicer, the
Seller, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power or right
hereunder (to the extent such Person has any power or right hereunder) shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on any party hereto
in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. No waiver or approval by any party hereto under this Agreement
shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be
applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval under this
Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter
to be granted hereunder.
SECTION 9.10 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents contain a final
and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement
among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, superseding
all prior oral or written understandings. There are no unwritten agreements
among the parties.
SECTION 9.11 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.12 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
