"Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Related
Documents with respect to each Series to the contrary, (i) assets other

of Requisite Amount hereunder and (ii) the term "Insurance Agreement
Event of Default" as used in this definition shall be deemed to refer to
only an Insurance Agreement Event of Default that is not a Waived
Insurance Agreement Event of Default."

following definition in Section 1.01 thereof:
"Waived Insurance Agreement Event of Default" means either or
both of (i) with respect to any Series (unless specified otherwise in
the related Series Supplement), an Event of Default caused by the
failure of the Servicer to deliver Liquidation Proceeds or Purchase
Amounts to the Collection Account within the period specified in and
pursuant to the terms of the Related Documents; provided, however, that
this definition shall (A) only include and apply to any such failure
which shall have occurred on or prior to August 31, 1999; and (B) only
apply so long as the Servicer complies fully with the provisions of
Section 6 of that certain Amendment and Limited Waiver dated September
1, 1999 (the "September 1999 Amendment and Limited Waiver") among
Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc., CPS Receivables Corp., Financial
Security Assurance Inc. and Norwest Bank Minnesota, National
Association, as Trustee and as Collateral Agent, or (ii) an Event of
Default under any Insurance Agreement where such default has been duly
waived (including, without limitation, the limited waiver pursuant to
Section 5 of the September 1999 Amendment and Limited Waiver).
Section 3. Amendment to Definition of "Spread Account Shortfall".
The definition of "Spread Account Shortfall" is hereby amended in the following
manner:
(a) With respect to the Master Agreement, the definition of
Spread Account Shortfall is amended and restated by deleting it in its entirety
and replacing it with the following:
""Spread Account Shortfall" means, with respect to any Series
(unless specified otherwise in the related Series Supplement) and any
Determination Date, an amount equal to the excess of (1) the Requisite
Amount with respect to such Distribution Date over (2) the amount on
deposit in the Spread Account after making any withdrawals therefrom
required by priority THIRD of Section 3.03(b)."
4
6
(b) Each of the Series 1998-3 Supplement and the Series 1998-4
Supplement, is amended and restated, in each case, by inserting the following
definition in Section 1 of each such Series Supplement (substituting, in each
case, the applicable Series designation (e.g. "Series 1998-3" with respect to
the Series 1998-3 Supplement) for the bracketed text contained in such
definition):
""Spread Account Shortfall" means, with respect to [INSERT
APPLICABLE SERIES DESIGNATION] and any Determination Date with respect
to which (a) a Trigger Event has occurred and has not been deemed cured
or (b) an Insurance Agreement Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, an amount equal to the excess of (1) the Requisite Amount
with respect to such Distribution Date over (2) the amount on deposit in
the [INSERT APPLICABLE SERIES DESIGNATION] Spread Account after making
any withdrawals therefrom required by priority THIRD of Section 3.03(b)
of the Spread Account Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, the term "Insurance Agreement Event of Default"
as used in this definition shall be deemed to refer to only an Insurance
Agreement Event of Default that is not a Waived Insurance Agreement
Event of Default."
Section 4. Amendment to Section 3.03 of the Master Agreement.
Subparagraph FOURTH of Section 3.03(b) of the Master Agreement is hereby amended
and restated by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
"FOURTH, if with respect to one or more Series there exists a
Spread Account Shortfall, from amounts, if any, (1) on deposit in each
Spread Account (other than any Non-Crosscollateralized Spread Account,
except as provided in the second proviso to priority SEVENTH), in excess
of the related Requisite Amount or (2) on deposit in any Spread Account
(other than any Non-Crosscollateralized Spread Account, except as
provided in the second proviso to priority SEVENTH) with respect to
which the Final Termination Date shall have occurred on such
Distribution Date or a prior Distribution Date, an amount determined in
the discretion of Financial Security (which shall not exceed the
aggregate of the Spread Account Shortfalls for all Series) for deposit
into such Spread Accounts with respect to which there exists a Spread
Account Shortfall as shall be selected by Financial Security in its
discretion in such respective amounts up to the related Spread Account
Shortfall as shall be determined by Financial Security."

related Series Supplement and as defined in the Master Agreement) or otherwise
defined but pertaining to the level of delinquencies, defaults or losses
experienced by the related pool of receivables, in each case, whether occurring
before, on or after the date hereof; provided, however, that the limited waiver
contained in this Section 5 shall be effective solely for the purpose of causing
each such Event of Default and each Event of Default under any other Insurance
Agreement (as defined in the Master Agreement) caused by such Event of Default
and the applicable cross-default provisions of the related Insurance Agreement
to be deemed to be a Waived Insurance Agreement Event of Default and not for any
other purpose.
Section 6. Purchased and Liquidated Receivables. In consideration
of the agreements contained herein and as a condition precedent to the continued
effectiveness of this Amendment and Limited Waiver, Consumer Portfolio Services,
Inc. ("CPS") agrees, with respect to each Series, to charge off and otherwise
account for all Receivables which qualify as Purchased Receivables or Liquidated
Receivables but, in each case, which have not been treated by CPS as such in
accordance with the terms of the Related Documents with respect to each Series
(the "Charged Off Receivables"), in accordance with the terms of such Related
Documents and in the stages set forth on the following schedule; provided,
however, that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any
Purchased Receivables or Liquidated Receivables arising subsequent to the date
hereof shall be treated by CPS as such in accordance with the terms of the
applicable Related Documents:

contrary, this Amendment and Limited Waiver shall not be effective until the
date (the "Effective Date"), if any, on which the Company shall have obtained
the satisfaction or waiver of each condition to the effectiveness of this
Amendment and Limited Waiver required by the Master Agreement and the Series
Supplements necessary to be obtained from any Person other than Financial
Security. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions specified herein, in the
Spread Account Agreement or in any Series
6
8
Supplement, Financial Security hereby consents to the effectiveness of this
Amendment and Limited Waiver and waives any requirement that any rating be
confirmed with respect to the securities of any Series that are not guaranteed
by Financial Security.
Section 8. Counterparts. This Amendment and Limited Waiver may be
executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original
hereof and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same
Amendment and Limited Waiver.
Section 9. Ratification of Master Agreement and Series
Supplements. Except as provided herein, all provisions, terms and conditions of
the Master Agreement and the Series Supplements shall remain in full force and
effect. As amended hereby, the Master Agreement and the Series Supplements are
