In performing its duties as Custodian hereunder, the Custodian shall act with reasonable care, exercising the degree of skill, attention and care that Custodian exercises with respect to receivable files relating to other similar motor vehicle loans owned and/or serviced by the Custodian and that is consistent with industry standards. In accordance with its customary practice with respect to its retail installment sale contracts, Custodian shall 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, and shall maintain the Receivable Files in such a manner as shall enable Trustee to verify, if Trustee so elects, the accuracy of the record keeping of Custodian. Custodian shall promptly report to Trustee any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided, and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. The Custodian hereby acknowledges receipt of the Receivable File for each Receivable listed on the Schedule of Receivables. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require Trustee to verify the accuracy of the record keeping of the Custodian.

(c) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Custodian shall maintain each Receivable File at the location specified in Schedule A to this Agreement, or at such other office of the Custodian within the United States (or,

in the case of any successor Custodian, within the State in which its principal place of business is located) as shall be specified to Trustee by 30 days’ prior written notice. Upon Trustee’s reasonable request, the Custodian shall make available to Trustee or its agents (or, when requested in writing by Trustee, to its attorneys or auditors) the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Custodian at such times during the normal business hours of the Custodian for purposes of inspecting, auditing or making copies or abstracts of the same.

(d) Release of Documents. Upon written instructions from Trustee, Custodian shall release any document in the Receivable Files to Trustee or its agent or designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as Trustee may designate, as soon thereafter as is practicable. Any document so released shall be handled by Trustee with due care and returned to the Custodian for safekeeping as soon as Trustee or its agent or designee, as the case may be, shall have no further need therefor.

(e) Title to Receivables. The Custodian agrees that, in respect of any Receivable File held by the Custodian hereunder, the Custodian will not at any time have or in any way attempt to assert any interest in such Receivable File or the related Receivable, other than solely for the purpose of collecting or enforcing the Receivable for the benefit of the Trust and that the entire equitable interest in such Receivable and the related Receivable File shall at all times be vested in the Trust.

(f) Instructions; Authority to Act. The Custodian shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by an Authorized Officer of Trustee. A certified copy of excerpts of certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of Trustee shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of any such Authorized Officer to act and shall be considered in full force and effect until receipt by the Custodian of written notice to the contrary given by Trustee.

(g) Custodian’s Indemnification. Custodian shall indemnify and hold harmless Trustee, its officers, directors, employees and agents and the Holders from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses (including legal fees if any) of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against Trustee or the Holders as the result of any act or omission of Custodian relating to the maintenance and custody of the Receivable Files; provided that the Custodian shall not be liable hereunder to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses result from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of Trustee. Indemnification under this Section 2.5(g) shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation and shall survive termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Trustee. If Custodian shall have made any indemnity payments to Trustee pursuant to this Section and Trustee thereafter shall collect any of such

amounts from Persons other than Custodian, Trustee shall immediately upon receipt thereof repay such amounts to Custodian, without interest.

(h) Effective Period and Termination. 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 subsection (h). If Servicer shall resign as Servicer in accordance with Section 7.5 or if all of the rights and obligations of Servicer shall have been terminated under Section 8.1, the appointment of Servicer as Custodian hereunder may be terminated by Trustee or by the Majority Holders, in the same manner as Trustee or such Holders may terminate the rights and obligations of Servicer under Section 8.1. Trustee may terminate Servicer’s appointment as Custodian hereunder at any time with cause, or with 30 days’ prior written notice without cause, upon written notification to Servicer. As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment Servicer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Receivable Files to Trustee, Trustee’s agent or Trustee’s designee at such place or places as Trustee may reasonably designate. Notwithstanding any termination of Servicer as Custodian hereunder (other than in connection with a termination resulting from the termination of Servicer, as such, pursuant to Section 8.1), from and after the date of such termination, and for so long as Servicer is acting as such pursuant to this Agreement, Trustee shall provide, or cause the successor Custodian to provide, access to the Receivable Files to Servicer, at such times as Servicer shall reasonably request, for the purpose of carrying out its duties and responsibilities with respect to the servicing of the Receivables hereunder.

(i) Delegation. Custodian may, at any time without notice or consent, delegate any or all of its duties to the Transferor; provided that no such delegation shall relieve Custodian of its responsibility with respect to such duties and Custodian shall remain obligated and liable to Trustee and the Holders for its duties hereunder as if Custodian alone were performing such duties.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF TRUST PROPERTY.

Section 3.1 Duties of Servicer. (a) Servicer is hereby authorized to act as agent for the Trust and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables), and perform the other actions required by Servicer under this Agreement, with reasonable care. Without limiting the standard set forth in the preceding sentence, Servicer shall use a degree of skill, attention and care that is not less than Servicer exercises with respect to comparable Motor Vehicle Loans that it services for itself or others and that is consistent with prudent industry standards. Servicer’s duties shall include the collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries by obligors on the Receivables, or by federal, state or local governmental authorities, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons or monthly invoices to Obligors, reporting required tax information to Obligors, accounting for Collections, monitoring the status of Physical Damage Insurance Policies with respect to the Financed Vehicles as provided in Section 3.4(a), furnishing monthly

and annual statements to Trustee with respect to distributions, providing collection and repossession services in the event of Obligor default and performing the other duties specified herein. Servicer shall also administer and enforce all rights and responsibilities of the holder of the Receivables provided for in the Physical Damage Insurance Policies as provided in Section 3.4(b) and the Dealer Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Trust, Trustee and the Holders, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables or to the Financed vehicles, all in accordance with this Agreement; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, Servicer shall not, except pursuant to an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, release an Obligor from payment of any unpaid amount under any Receivable or waive the right to collect the unpaid balance of any Receivable from the Obligor, except in connection with a de minimis deficiency which Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with its customary procedures. If Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, Trustee shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such Receivable to Servicer, which assignment shall be solely for purposes of collection. Trustee shall furnish Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents or instruments necessary or appropriate to enable Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

(b) Servicer may, at any time without notice (except that Servicer shall give written notice to each Rating Agency of any delegation outside the ordinary course of business of the substantial portion of its servicing business) or consent, delegate specific duties to subcontractors who are in the business of performing such duties; provided that no such delegation shall relieve Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties and Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to Trustee and the Holders for servicing and administering the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement as if Servicer alone were performing such duties.

Section 3.2 Collection of Receivable Payments. (a) Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and otherwise act with respect to the Receivables, the Physical Damage Insurance Policies, the Dealer Agreements and the other Trust Property in such manner as will, in the reasonable judgment of Servicer, maximize the amount to be received by the Trust with respect thereto, in accordance with the standard of care required by Section 3.1. Servicer shall be entitled to amend or modify any Receivable in accordance with its customary procedures if Servicer believes in good faith that such amendment or modification is in the best interests of the Trust; provided that Servicer may not, unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise required by applicable law, (i) extend a Receivable beyond the Final Scheduled Maturity Date, or (ii) reduce the Principal Balance or Contract Rate of any Receivable. If Servicer fails to comply with the provisions of the preceding sentence, Servicer shall be required to purchase the Receivable or Receivables affected thereby, for the Purchase Amount, in the manner specified in Section 3.7 as of the last day of the Collection Period in which such failure occurs. Servicer may, in its discretion (in accordance with its customary standards, policies and procedures), waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge, extension fee or any other fee that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable.

(b) If in the course of collecting payments under the Receivables, Servicer determines to set off any obligation of Servicer to an Obligor against an amount payable by the Obligor with respect to such Receivable, Servicer shall deposit the amount so set off in the Collection Account, no later than the close of business on the Deposit Date for the Collection Period in which the set-off occurs. All references herein to payments or Liquidation Proceeds collected by Servicer shall include amounts set-off by Servicer.

Section 3.3 Realization upon Receivables. On behalf of the Trust, Servicer shall charge off a Receivable as a Defaulted Receivable in accordance with its customary standards (and, in no event later than days after a Receivable shall have become delinquent) and shall use reasonable efforts to repossess and liquidate the Financed Vehicle securing any Defaulted Receivable as soon as feasible after default, in accordance with the standard of care required by Section 3.1. In taking such action, Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of Motor Vehicle Loans, and as are otherwise consistent with the standard of care required under Section 3.1, which shall include exercising any rights under the Dealer Agreements and selling the Financed Vehicle at public or private sale. Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses incurred by it in the course of repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds or pursuing any deficiency claim against the related Obligor, but only out of the cash proceeds of such Financed Vehicle or any deficiency obtained from the Obligor. The foregoing shall be subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, 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 of the related Receivable by an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such expenses.

If Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Dealer Agreement, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment from Trustee to Servicer of the rights under such Dealer Agreement. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it is held that Servicer may not enforce a Dealer Agreement on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a Person entitled to enforce the Dealer Agreement, Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, at Servicer’s expense, shall take such steps as Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Dealer Agreement, including bringing suit in its name or the names of the Holders.

Section 3.4 Physical Damage Insurance. The Receivables require that each Financed Vehicle be insured under a Physical Damage Insurance Policy. 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 related Financial Vehicle as of the execution of the Receivable.

Section 3.5 Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. Servicer, in accordance with the standard of care required under Section 3.1, shall take such reasonable steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle for the benefit of the Trust. Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, hereby authorizes Servicer, and Servicer hereby agrees, to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Trust in the event Servicer receives

notice of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle. If there has been a Servicer Termination Event, upon the request of Trustee, Servicer, at its expense, shall promptly and duly execute and deliver such documents and instruments, and take such other reasonable actions as may be necessary, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to Trustee to perfect the Trust’s interest in the Trust Property against all other Persons, including the delivery of the Receivables and the Receivable Files to Trustee, its agent, or its designee, the endorsement and delivery of the Physical Damage Insurance Policies or the notification of the insurers thereunder, the execution of transfer instruments, and the endorsement to Trustee and the delivery of the certificates of title to the Financed Vehicles to the appropriate department or departments of motor vehicles (or other appropriate governmental agency).

Section 3.6 Covenants of Servicer. Servicer makes the following covenants on which Trustee relies in accepting the Trust Property in trust and in executing and authenticating the Certificates:

(a) Security Interest to Remain in Force. Servicer shall not release any Financed Vehicle from the security interest granted by the related Receivable in whole or in part, except upon payment in full of the Receivable or as otherwise contemplated herein.

(b) No Impairment. Servicer shall not impair in any material respect the rights of the Holders in the Receivables, the Dealer Agreements or the Physical Damage Insurance Policies or, subject to clause (c), otherwise amend or alter the terms thereof if, as a result of such amendment or alteration, the interests of the Trust and the Holders hereunder would be materially adversely affected.

(c) Amendments. Servicer shall not amend or otherwise modify any Receivable (including the grant of any extension thereunder), except in accordance with Section 3.2.

Section 3.7 Purchase by Servicer upon Breach. Seller, Servicer or Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach by Servicer of its covenants under Section 3.5 or 3.6; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of Servicer. Unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or the 30th day, if Servicer so elects) after the date on which Servicer becomes aware of, or receives written notice of, such breach, and such breach or failure materially and adversely affects the interests of Trustee and the Holders in any Receivable, Servicer shall purchase such Receivable from Trustee as of the last day of the Collection Period at a purchase price equal to the Purchase Amount for such Receivable as of the last day of such Collection Period; provided that in the case of a breach of the covenant contained in Section 3.6(c), Servicer shall be obligated to purchase the affected Receivable or Receivables on the Deposit Date immediately succeeding the Collection Period during which Servicer becomes aware of, or receives written notice of, such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such breach or failure with respect to the covenants contained in Sections 3.5 and 3.6 will not be deemed to have such a material and adverse effect with respect to a Receivable if the facts resulting in such breach or failure do not affect the ability of the Trust to receive and retain payment in full on such Receivable. In consideration of

the purchase of a Receivable hereunder, Servicer shall remit the Purchase Amount of such Receivable in the manner specified in Section 4.4. The sole remedy of the Trust, Trustee or the Holders against Servicer with respect to a breach pursuant to Section 3.5 or 3.6 shall be to require Servicer to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section.

Section 3.8 Servicing Compensation. The servicing fee for (a) the 20 Distribution Date shall equal $ and (b) for each Distribution Date thereafter shall equal the product of (i) one-twelfth, (ii) the Servicing Fee Rate and (iii) the Pool Balance as of the opening of business on the first day of the related Collection Period (the “Servicing Fee”). Servicer shall also be entitled to retain any late fees, extension fees, prepayment charges (including, in the case of any Rule of 78’s Receivable or Sum of Periodic Balances Receivable that is prepaid in full, amounts received in excess of the outstanding Principal Balance of such Receivable and accrued interest thereon calculated as if such Receivable were an Actuarial Receivable) and certain non-sufficient funds charges and other administrative fees or similar charges allowed by applicable law with respect to Receivables collected (from whatever source) on the Receivables and shall be paid any interest earned on deposits in the Accounts (the “Supplemental Servicing Fee”). It is understood and agreed that Available Interest or Available Principal shall not include any amounts retained by Servicer which constitute Supplemental Servicing Fees. The Servicing Fee in respect of a Collection Period (together with any portion of the Servicing Fee that remains unpaid from prior Distribution Dates), if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied, may be paid at the beginning of such Collection Period out of Collections for such Collection Period. As provided in Section 4.5, as additional compensation, Servicer shall be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date, any Additional Servicing for such Distribution Date.

Section 3.9 Servicer’s Report. (a) On each Determination Date, Servicer shall deliver to Trustee, each Paying Agent and Seller, with a copy to the Rating Agencies, a Servicer’s Report substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Servicer’s Report”) containing, among other things, (i) all information necessary to make the deposits, transfers and distributions required by Sections 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6, (ii) all information necessary for sending statements to Holders pursuant to Section 4.7, (iii) all information necessary to prepare the certificate described in Section 9.3, (iv) all information necessary to determine if there has been a Servicer Termination Event under Section 8.1, and (v) all information necessary to reconcile all deposits to, and withdrawals from, the Collection Account for such Distribution Date and the related Collection Period. Servicer also shall separately identify (by account number of the Receivable as it appears in the Schedule of Receivables) to Trustee in a written notice or a list in computer readable form the Receivables to be purchased by Servicer, as the case may be, on the related Deposit Date, and each Receivable which became a Defaulted Receivable during the related Collection Period.

(b) Servicer shall provide Trustee with a database file for the Receivables at or prior to the Closing Date (but with information as of the close of business on the Cutoff Date).

Section 3.10 Annual Statement as to Compliance. (a) The Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and each Rating Agency, on or before March 30^th of each year, beginning on

March 30, [ ], an Officer’s Certificate (with appropriate insertions) providing such information as is required under Item 1123 of Regulation AB.

(b) Servicer shall deliver to Trustee and each Rating Agency, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officer’s Certificate of any event which constitutes, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would become, a Servicer Termination Event under Section 8.1.

(c) The Servicer will deliver to the Trustee, on or before March 30^th of each year, beginning on [ ], a report regarding Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of non-compliance identified by Servicer, as required under paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-18, Rule 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB.

Section 3.11 Annual Registered Public Accounting Firm Attestation Report. On or before the 90th day following the end of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, [ ], Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants (who may also render other services to Servicer, Seller or their respective Affiliates) to furnish to the Trustee, Servicer, Seller and each Rating Agency each attestation report on assessments of compliance with the Servicing Criteria with respect to Servicer or any affiliate thereof during the related fiscal year delivered by such accountants pursuant to paragraph (c) of Rule 13a-18 or Rule 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. The certification required by this paragraph may be replaced by any similar certification using other procedures or attestation standards which are now or in the future in use by servicers of comparable motor vehicle receivables, or which comply with any rule, regulation, “no action” letter or similar guidance promulgated by the Commission.

Such report will also indicate that the firm is independent of Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Section 3.12 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Receivables. Servicer shall provide Trustee and the Holders with access to the Receivable Files (in the case of the Holders, only in such cases where it shall be required by applicable statutes or regulations to give access to such documentation as demonstrated by evidence satisfactory to Servicer in its reasonable judgment). Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Any Holder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed to keep any information obtained by it pursuant to this Section confidential and not to use such information for any other purpose, except as required by applicable law.

Section 3.13 Reports to the Commission. Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trust, cause to be filed with the Commission any periodic reports required to be filed under the provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Section 3.14 Reports to the Rating Agency. Servicer shall deliver to each Rating Agency a copy of all reports or notices furnished or delivered pursuant to this Article and a copy of any amendments, supplements or modifications to this Agreement and any other information reasonably requested by such Rating Agency to monitor this transaction.

Section 3.15 Servicer Expenses. Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder, including fees and disbursements of the Trustee, independent accountants, taxes imposed on Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to Holders.

ARTICLE IV

DISTRIBUTIONS; RESERVE ACCOUNT; STATEMENTS TO HOLDERS.

Section 4.1 Establishment of Accounts. (a) Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Holders, shall establish and maintain in the name of Trustee one or more segregated Eligible Deposit Accounts (collectively, the “Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Holders. Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Class A Holders, shall establish and maintain in the name of Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Class A Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Class A Holders. Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Class B Holders, shall establish and maintain in the name of Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Class B Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Class B Holders. Trustee on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Holders, shall establish and maintain in the name of Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Payahead Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds therein are held for the benefit of the Holders. The Collection Account, the Class A Distribution Account, the Class B Distribution Account, and the Payahead Account shall be initially established and maintained with the trust department of Trustee.

(b) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Class A Distribution Account, the Class B Distribution Account, and the Payahead Account shall be invested by Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by Servicer (pursuant to standing instructions or otherwise) and confirmed in writing by Servicer to Trustee; provided that, it is understood and agreed that neither Servicer nor Trustee shall be liable for any loss arising from such investment in Eligible Investments. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by Trustee for the benefit of the beneficiaries of the applicable Account; provided that on each Distribution Date all interest and other investment income (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit therein shall be withdrawn from the Accounts at the written direction of Servicer and shall be paid to Servicer and shall not be available or otherwise subject to any claims or rights of the Holders.

Other than as permitted by each Rating Agency, funds on deposit in the Accounts with respect to any Collection Period or Distribution Date shall be invested only in Eligible Investments that, except for money market funds, will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the related Deposit Date. Funds deposited in an Account on a Deposit Date which immediately precedes a Distribution Date upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments are not required to be (but may be) invested overnight. No Eligible Investment with a stated maturity shall be disposed of prior to that maturity unless a default occurs with respect to that Eligible Investment and Servicer directs Trustee in writing to dispose of it.

(c) Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (excluding all income thereon) and all such funds, investments and proceeds shall be part of the Trust Property. The Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and the exclusive custody and control of Trustee, and Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto. If, at any time, any of the Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, Trustee (or Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments that are in the existing Account which is no longer an Eligible Deposit Account to such new Account.

Section 4.2 Collections. (a) Subject to the provisions of the succeeding sentence and of subsections (b) and (c), Servicer shall remit to the Collection Account all payments (other than amounts constituting Supplemental Servicing Fees) by or on behalf of the Obligors on the Receivables, including all Liquidation Proceeds received by Servicer during any Collection Period, as soon as practicable, but in no event after the close of business on the second Business Day, after identification thereof. Subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c), on the Closing Date, Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors on the Receivables received by Servicer after the Cutoff Date and on or prior to the second Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), if the Ohio Bank is the Servicer and (i) [ ] shall have the Required Rating or (ii) Trustee otherwise shall have received written notice from each of the Rating Agencies that the then outstanding rating on the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates would not be lowered or withdrawn as a result, Servicer may deposit all amounts referred to in subsection (a) for any Collection Period into the Collection Account not later than the close of business on the Deposit Date with respect to such Collection Period; provided that if (x) a Servicer Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, (y) Servicer has been terminated as such pursuant to Section 8.1 or (z) [ ] ceases to have the Required Rating, Servicer shall deposit such amounts (including any amounts then being held by Servicer) into the Collection Account as provided in Section 4.2(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of the proviso to the preceding sentence shall not be applicable to a successor Servicer solely by reason of the

occurrence of an event specified in clauses (x), (y) and (z) of such proviso with respect to the outgoing Servicer. Pending the deposit of the amounts referred to in subsection (a) into the Collection Account, such amounts may be employed by Servicer at its own risk and for its own benefit and need not be segregated from Servicer’s own funds. Any losses resulting from Servicer’s actions shall be borne exclusively by Servicer. Servicer shall promptly notify Trustee in writing if [ ] shall obtain or lose the Required Rating.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b), Servicer may retain, or will be entitled to be reimbursed, from amounts otherwise payable into, or on deposit in, the Collection Account with respect to a Collection Period any amounts previously deposited in the Collection Account but later determined to have resulted from mistaken deposits or postings or checks returned for insufficient funds, in each case, with respect to which Servicer has not been previously reimbursed hereunder. The amount to be retained or reimbursed hereunder shall not be included in Collections with respect to the related Distribution Date.

(d) With respect to each Precomputed Receivable, collections and payments by or on behalf of an obligor (other than any amounts constituting Supplemental Servicing Fees) for each Collection Period shall be applied to the scheduled payment on such Precomputed Receivable for such Collection Period.

To the extent such collections and payments on a Precomputed Receivable during a Collection Period exceed the scheduled payment on such Precomputed Receivable and are insufficient to prepay the Precomputed Receivable in full, collections shall be treated as Payaheads until such later Collection Period as such Payaheads may be transferred to the Collection Account and applied either to the scheduled payments due or to prepay the Precomputed Receivable in full in accordance with Section 4.5.

Section 4.3 [RESERVED].

Section 4.4 Additional Deposits; Net Deposits. (a) On or prior to each Deposit Date, Servicer shall remit to the Collection Account, in next-day or immediately available funds, the aggregate Purchase Amounts of the Receivables to be purchased by it under an obligation that arose during the preceding Collection Period pursuant to Section 2.4, 3.7 or 10.2, respectively.

(b) Servicer may make the remittances to be made by it pursuant to this Article IV net of amounts to be distributed to it pursuant to Section 4.5 (but subject to the priorities set forth therein), for so long as (i) no Servicer Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) Servicer has not been terminated as such pursuant to Section 8.1; provided that Servicer shall account for all of such amounts in the related Servicer’s Report as if such amounts were deposited and distributed separately; and provided that, if an error is made by Servicer in calculating the amount to be deposited or retained by it and a shortfall in the amount deposited in the Collection Account results, Servicer shall make a

payment of the deficiency to the Collection Account, immediately upon becoming aware, or receiving notice from Trustee, of such error.

Section 4.5 Distributions. (a) On each Determination Date, Servicer shall calculate all amounts required to determine the amounts to be deposited on the related Distribution Date in the Class A Distribution Account and the Class B Distribution Account which calculations shall be set forth in the Servicer’s Report delivered to Trustee on or before such Determination Date.

(b) On or before each Distribution Date, Servicer shall instruct Trustee in writing (based on the information contained in Servicer’s Report delivered on the related Determination Date pursuant to Section 3.9) to, and the Trustee shall:

(i) withdraw from the Payahead Account and deposit in the Collection Account, in immediately available funds, (x) with respect to each Precomputed Receivable for which the payments made by or on behalf of the obligor for the related Collection Period are less than the scheduled payment for the related Collection Period, the amount of Payaheads, if any, made with respect to such Receivable which, when added to the amount of such payments, is equal to the amount of such scheduled payment, (y) with respect to each Precomputed Receivable for which prepayments insufficient to prepay the Receivable in full have been made by or on behalf of the Obligor for the related Collection Period, the amount of Payaheads, if any, made with respect to such Receivable which, when added to the amount of such prepayments, is equal to an amount sufficient to prepay such Receivable in full, and (z) the amount of all Payaheads, if any, made with respect to any Purchased Receivable; and

(ii) withdraw from the Collection Account and deposit in the Payahead Account (or receive from Servicer, which will remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Payahead Account, as the case may be), in immediately available funds, the aggregate amount of collections on Precomputed Receivables treated as Payaheads pursuant to Section 4.2 for the Collection Period related to such Distribution Date.

(c) On each Distribution Date, based on the related Servicer’s Report, Trustee will make the following deposits and distributions from the Collection Account by a.m. ( , time), to the extent of the sum of Available Interest and any Available Reserve Amount (and, in the case of shortfalls in the Class A Interest Distributable Amount occurring under clause (ii), the Class B Percentage of Available Principal to the extent of such shortfalls), in the following priority:

(i) to Servicer, any unpaid Servicing Fee for the related Collection Period and all unpaid Servicing Fees from prior Collection Periods;

(ii) to the Class A Distribution Account, the Class A Interest Distributable Amount for such Distribution Date; and

(iii) to the Class B Distribution Account, the Class B Interest Distributable Amount for such Distribution Date.

On each Distribution Date, based on the related Servicer’s Report, Trustee will make the following deposits and distributions, to the extent of the portion of Available Principal, Available Interest and Available Reserve Amount remaining after the application of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), in the following priority:

(i) to the Class A Distribution Account, the Class A Principal Distributable Amount for such Distribution Date;

Section 4.6 Reserve Account. (a) Servicer shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Reserve Account”). The Reserve Account shall be initially established and maintained with the Trustee (the “Securities Intermediary”). On the Closing Date, Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Reserve Account an amount equal to the Reserve Account Initial Deposit.

(b) Trustee shall, at the written direction of Administrator, direct the Securities Intermediary to invest funds on deposit in the Reserve Account in Eligible Investments selected by Administrator and confirmed in writing by Administrator to Trustee; provided that it is understood and agreed that none of Trustee, Securities Intermediary or Administrator shall be liable for any loss arising from such investment in Eligible Investments. Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that all such funds will be available at the close of business on each Deposit Date; provided that to the extent permitted by the Rating Agencies following written request by Administrator, funds on deposit in the Reserve Account may be invested in Eligible Investments that mature later than the next Deposit Date. Funds deposited in the Reserve Account on a Deposit Date upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments are not required to be (but may be) invested overnight.

(c) On each Distribution Date, any amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to the preceding Collection Period after payments to Servicer, the Class A Distribution Account and the Class B Distribution Account have been made will be deposited into the Reserve Account until the amount of the Reserve Account is equal to the Specified Reserve Account Balance.

(d) The Reserve Account shall be under the sole custody and control of Trustee. If, at any time, the Reserve Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, Trustee shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Reserve Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments that are in the existing account which is no longer an Eligible Deposit Account to such new Reserve Account.

(e) On each Distribution Date, the amount available in the Reserve Account (the “Available Reserve Amount”) will equal the lesser of (i) the amount

On each Deposit Date, Trustee will withdraw funds from the Reserve Account to the extent that (A) the sum of the amounts required to be distributed to Holders and the accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees payable to Servicer on such Distribution Date exceeds (B) the amount on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to the preceding Collection Period (net of net investment income). The aggregate amount to be withdrawn from the Reserve Account on any Deposit Date shall not exceed the Available Reserve Amount with respect to the related Distribution Date. Trustee will deposit the proceeds of such withdrawal into the Collection Account on or before such Distribution Date with respect to which such withdrawal was made.

(f) Amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account will be released to Transferor on each Distribution Date to the extent that the amount credited to the Reserve Account would exceed the Specified Reserve Account Balance. Upon any distribution to Transferor of amounts from the Reserve Account, the Holders will not have any rights in, or claims to, such amounts. Amounts distributed to Transferor from the Reserve Account in accordance with this Section shall not be available under any circumstances to the Trust, Trustee or the Holders and Transferor shall in no event thereafter be required to refund any such distributed amounts.

(g) Investment earnings attributable to the Reserve Account Property and proceeds therefrom shall be held by Trustee for the benefit of Transferor. Investment earnings attributable to the Reserve Account Property shall not be available to pay the distributions provided for in Section 4.5 and shall not otherwise be subject to any claims or rights of the Holders or Servicer. Trustee shall cause all investment earnings attributable to the Reserve Account to be distributed on each Distribution Date to Transferor.

(h) Transferor may at any time, without consent of Holders, sell, transfer, convey or assign in any manner its rights to and interests in distributions from the Reserve Account provided that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm in writing that such action will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates, (ii) Transferor provides to Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from independent counsel that such action will not cause Trust to be classified as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and (iii) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to take positions for federal income tax purposes consistent with the federal income tax positions agreed to be taken by Transferor.

THE CERTIFICATES.

Section 5.1 The Certificates. Trustee shall, upon written order or request signed in the name of Seller by one of its officers authorized to do so and delivered to an Authorized Officer of Trustee, execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and deliver the Certificates to or upon the order of Seller in the aggregate principal amount and denominations as set forth in such written order or request. The Certificates shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof; provided that one Class A Certificate and one Class B Certificate may be issued in a denomination that represents the residual amount of the original Class A Certificate Balance and the Original Class B Certificate Balance, respectively. Upon initial issuance, the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates shall be in the form of Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively, which are incorporated by reference herein, and shall be issued as provided in Section 5.8, in an aggregate amount equal to the Original Class A Certificate Balance and the Original Class B Certificate Balance, respectively. The Certificates shall be executed by Trustee on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Officer of Trustee under Trustee’s seal imprinted thereon and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Officer of Trustee. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be valid and binding obligations of the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates.

Section 5.2 Authentication of Certificates. No Certificate shall entitle the Holder thereof to any benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication, substantially in the form set forth in the form of Certificates attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B, executed by Trustee by manual signature. Such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

Section 5.3 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, at the office or agency to be maintained by it in accordance with Section 5.7, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Class A Certificate or Class B Certificate at such office or agency, Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Class A Certificates or Class B Certificates, as the case may be, in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount. At the option of a Holder, Class A Certificates or Class B Certificates may be exchanged for other Class A Certificates or Class B Certificates, as the case may be, of authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount at the office or agency

maintained by Trustee in accordance with Section 5.7. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the Holder and in a form satisfactory to Trustee. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and disposed of in accordance with the customary procedures of Trustee.

In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.4, Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection herewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.5 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.5 and for all other purposes, and Trustee shall not be bound by any notice to the contrary.

(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.8 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.8 shall control;

(e) pursuant to the Depository Agreement, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Certificates to the Clearing Agency Participants, for distribution by such Clearing Agency Participants to the Certificate Owners or their nominees.

For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of Certificates evidencing specified percentages of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of such Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by Certificate Owners having interests in the requisite percentage, acting through the Clearing Agency.

Section 5.9 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever notice or other communication to the Holders is required under this Agreement unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 5.10, Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders to the Clearing Agency.

Section 5.10 Definitive Certificates. If (a) (i) Servicer advises Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able properly to discharge its responsibilities under the Depository Agreement and (ii) Trustee or Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) Servicer, at its option, advises Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Certificates, advise Trustee and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the Certificate Owners’ best interests, Trustee shall notify the Clearing Agency which shall be responsible to notify the Certificate Owners of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to Trustee by the Clearing Agency of the Certificates registered in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, accompanied by re-registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, Trustee shall execute, on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and deliver Definitive Certificates in accordance with such instructions. Seller shall arrange for, and will bear all costs of, the printing and issuance of such Definitive Certificates.

Neither Servicer nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Trust or the Holders, except as provided under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by Servicer or any subservicer pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided that this provision shall not protect Servicer or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties (except for errors in judgment) or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. Servicer or any subservicer and any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents 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, 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, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided that Servicer may (but shall not be required to) undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the Related Agreements to protect the interests of the Holders under this Agreement and the Related Agreements. In such event, the legal expense and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of Servicer.

Section 7.5 The Ohio Bank Not To Resign as Servicer. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3, the Ohio Bank hereby agrees not to resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except upon determination that the performance of its duties hereunder shall no longer be permissible under applicable law or if such resignation is required by regulatory authorities. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of the Ohio Bank as Servicer shall be communicated to Trustee at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to Trustee concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation shall become effective until the earlier of Trustee or a successor Servicer having assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning Servicer in accordance with Section 8.2 or the date upon which any regulatory authority requires such resignation.

Section 7.6 Servicer May Own Certificates. Servicer, and any Affiliate of Servicer, may, in its individual or any other capacity, become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not Servicer or an Affiliate thereof,

except as otherwise provided in the definition of “Holder”, “Class A Holder” and “Class B Holder” in Section 1.1. Certificates so owned by or pledged to Servicer or such Affiliate shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement, without preference, priority or distinction as among all of the Certificates, except as otherwise provided in the definitions of “Class A Holder” and “Class B Holder”.

Section 7.7 Existence. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3, during the term of this Agreement, the Ohio Bank will keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.

ARTICLE VIII

SERVICING TERMINATION.

Section 8.1 Servicer Termination Events. (a) Any one of the following events shall constitute a “Servicer Termination Event”:

(i) any failure by Servicer to deliver to Trustee a Servicer’s Report for any Collection Period, which failure shall continue beyond the related Deposit Date;

(ii) any failure by Servicer to deliver to any Account or the Reserve Account any payment or deposit required to be so delivered or paid under the terms of the Certificates and this Agreement, or to direct Trustee to make any required distribution from any Account or the Reserve Account, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of five Business Days after written notice is received from the Trustee by Servicer or after discovery of such failure by Servicer (or, in the case of a payment or deposit to be made no later than a Deposit Date immediately preceding a Distribution Date, the failure to make such payment or deposit by such Distribution Date);

(iii) any failure on the part of Servicer to duly observe or to perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements set forth in the Certificates or in this Agreement, which failure shall (A) materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders (which determination shall be made without regard to whether funds are available to the Holders pursuant to the Reserve Account) and (B) continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given (1) to Servicer by Trustee, or (2) to Trustee and Servicer by the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Certificates (or for such longer period, not in excess of 120 days, as may be reasonably necessary to remedy such default; provided that such default is capable of remedy within 120 days and Servicer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to Trustee to such effect and to the effect that Servicer has commenced or

will promptly commence, and will diligently pursue, all reasonable efforts to remedy such default);

(iv) the entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or trustee for Servicer, Seller, Transferor, or any of their respective successors, in any bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, insolvency or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree or order continues unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(v) the consent by Servicer, Seller, Transferor, or any of their respective successors, to the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or trustee in any bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, insolvency or similar proceedings of or relating to such Person or relating to substantially all of its property, the admission in writing by such Person of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, the filing by such Person of a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, insolvency or similar statute, the making by such Person of an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or the voluntary suspension by such Person of payment of its obligations.

Upon the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event, and so long as a Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either Trustee, or the Majority Holders, by notice then given in writing to Servicer, may terminate all of the rights and obligations of Servicer (other than the obligations set forth in Section 7.2) under this Agreement. On or after the receipt by Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Trust Property or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in Trustee or such successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 8.2 pursuant to this Section 8.1; and thereupon Trustee shall be authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of 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 Receivable Files or the Physical Damage Insurance Policies, the certificates of title to the Financed Vehicles, or otherwise. Servicer shall cooperate with Trustee or any successor Servicer in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights as Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to Trustee or any successor Servicer for administration of all cash amounts that are at the time held by Servicer for deposit, shall have been deposited by Servicer in the Collection Account, or thereafter shall be received with respect to a Receivable, all Receivable Files and all information or documents that Trustee or such successor Servicer may require. In addition, Servicer shall transfer its electronic records relating to the Receivables to the successor Servicer in such electronic form as the successor Servicer may reasonably request and shall transfer to the successor Servicer all other records, correspondence and documents necessary for the continued servicing of the Receivables in the manner and at such times as the successor Servicer shall reasonably request. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the successor Servicer in connection with the transfer of servicing shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.

(b) If any of the foregoing Servicer Termination Events occur, Trustee shall have no obligation to notify Holders or any other Person of such occurrence prior to the continuance of such event through the end of any cure period specified in Section 8.1(a).

Section 8.2 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor Servicer. Upon Servicer’s resignation pursuant to Section 7.5 or upon Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination as Servicer pursuant to Section 8.1, Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement, except that Trustee, when acting as successor Servicer, shall not be obligated to purchase Receivables pursuant to Section 3.7 unless the obligation to repurchase arose after the date of the notice of termination given to Servicer pursuant to Section 8.1, and neither Trustee nor any successor Servicer shall be liable for any acts or omissions of the terminated Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related documents or agreements. As compensation therefor, Trustee shall be entitled to the same Servicing Fees (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) and Supplemental Servicing Fees as Servicer would have been entitled to under this Agreement if no such notice of termination or resignation had been given. Notwithstanding the above, Trustee may appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an Eligible Servicer as the successor to the terminated Servicer under this Agreement; provided that Trustee shall continue to be the successor to Servicer until another successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of Servicer. In connection with such appointment, Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor Servicer out of payments on Receivables as it and such successor shall agree, which shall in no event be greater than the Servicing Fees and Supplemental Servicing Fees payable to the Ohio Bank as Servicer hereunder. Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. No Servicer shall resign or be relieved of its duties under this Agreement until a newly appointed Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 8.3 Effect of Servicing Transfer. (a) After the transfer of servicing hereunder, Trustee or successor Servicer shall notify Obligors to make directly to the successor Servicer payments that are due under the Receivables after the effective date of such transfer.

(b) Except as provided in Sections 7.2 and 9.8 after the transfer of servicing hereunder, the predecessor Servicer shall have no further obligations with respect to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Receivables and the successor Servicer shall have all of such obligations, except that the predecessor Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the successor Servicer for its own account, promptly on receipt and in the same form in which received, any amounts held by the predecessor Servicer (properly endorsed where required for the successor Servicer to collect any such items) received as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the Receivables and the predecessor Servicer shall continue to cooperate with the successor Servicer by providing information and in the enforcement of the Dealer Agreements and the Physical Damage Insurance Policies.

(c) A transfer of servicing hereunder shall not affect the rights and duties of the parties hereunder other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Receivables and the other Trust Property. The successor Servicer shall, upon its appointment pursuant to Section 8.2 and as part of its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, promptly take all action it deems necessary or appropriate so that the predecessor Servicer (in whatever capacity) is paid or reimbursed all amounts it is entitled to receive under this Agreement on each Distribution Date subsequent to the date on which it is terminated as Servicer hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the predecessor Servicer will be entitled to receive all accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and Supplemental Servicing Fees through and including the effective date of the termination of the predecessor Servicer.

(d) Any successor Servicer shall provide Seller with access to the Receivable Files and to the successor Servicer’s records (whether written or automated) with respect to the Receivable Files. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the successor Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the successor Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

Section 8.4 Notification to Holders. Upon any notice of a Servicer Termination Event or upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Holders at their respective addresses of record, and to each Rating Agency.

Section 8.5 Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events. The Majority Holders may, on behalf of all Holders of Certificates, waive any Servicer Termination Event hereunder and its consequences, except an event resulting from the failure to make any required deposits or payments to the Collection Account in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past Servicer Termination Event, such event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other event or impair any right arising therefrom, except to the extent expressly so waived.

Section 8.6 Transfer of Accounts. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.1, if any of the Accounts or the Reserve Account is maintained with Servicer or an Affiliate of Servicer and a Servicer Termination Event shall occur and be continuing, Servicer shall promptly, and in any event within five Business Days, give notice to Trustee of such Servicer Termination Event, and Trustee, within days after the receipt of such notice, shall establish new Eligible Deposit Accounts conforming with the requirements of this Agreement and promptly shall transfer all funds in any such Accounts or the Reserve Account to such new Eligible Deposit Accounts.

ARTICLE IX

TRUSTEE.

Section 9.1 Acceptance by Trustee. Trustee hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the other Trust Property conveyed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement and hereby declares that Trustee holds and shall hold such right, title and interest, upon the trust set forth in this Agreement.

Section 9.2 Duties of Trustee. (a) Trustee, both prior to and after the curing of a Servicer Termination Event, undertakes to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against Trustee. If a Servicer Termination Event, of which an Authorized Officer of Trustee has actual knowledge, shall have occurred and shall not have been cured (the appointment of a successor Servicer (including Trustee) to constitute a cure for the purposes of this Article), Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and shall 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; provided that if Trustee assumes the duties of Servicer pursuant to Section 8.2, Trustee in performing such duties shall use the degree of skill and attention required by Section 3.1.

(b) Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders, or other instruments furnished to Trustee that are required specifically to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement.

(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its own willful misfeasance or its own bad faith; provided that:

(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, and after the curing of all such Servicer Termination Events that may have occurred, the duties and obligations of Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against Trustee, the permissible right of Trustee (solely in its capacity as such) to do things enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of Trustee, or manifest error, Trustee (solely in its capacity as such) may conclusively rely on the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

(ii) Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by an officer of Trustee, unless it shall be proved that Trustee shall have been negligent in performing its duties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

(iii) Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Majority Holders, as set forth in Section 8.1, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding or any remedy available to Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon Trustee, under this Agreement.

(d) Except for the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of Trustee, Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it 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 Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of Servicer under this Agreement except during such time, if any, as Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Except for actions expressly authorized by this Agreement, Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the security interests created or existing under any Receivable or Financed Vehicle or to impair the value of any Receivable or Financed Vehicle.

(f) Trustee shall have no power to vary the corpus of the Trust including (i) accepting any substitute obligation for a Receivable initially assigned to Trustee under this Agreement, (ii) adding any other investment, obligation or security, or (iii) withdrawing any Receivable, except for a withdrawal permitted under this Agreement.

Section 9.3 Trustee’s Certificate. As soon as practicable after each Deposit Date on which Receivables shall be assigned to Seller pursuant to Section 2.4 or 10.2 or to Servicer pursuant to Section 3.7, as applicable, Trustee shall execute a certificate, prepared by Servicer, including its date and the date of the Agreement, and accompanied by a copy of Servicer’s Report for the related Collection Period. Trustee’s certificate shall operate, as of such Deposit Date, as an assignment pursuant to Section 9.4.

Section 9.4 Trustee’s Assignment of Purchased Receivables. With respect to all Receivables repurchased by Servicer pursuant to Section 2.4 or Section 10.2, or purchased by Servicer pursuant to Section 3.7 or Section 10.2, Trustee shall assign, without recourse, representation or warranty, to Servicer, all of Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Receivables, and all security and documents and all other Trust Property conveyed pursuant to

Section 2.1 with respect to such Receivables. Such assignment shall be a sale and assignment outright, and not for security. If, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it is held that Servicer, may not enforce any such Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, Trustee shall, at the expense of Servicer, take such steps as Servicer, deems necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in Trustee’s name or the names of the Holders.

Section 9.5 Certain Matters Affecting Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2:

(a) Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, certificate of auditors or accountants or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, appraisal, bond, note or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(b) Trustee may consult with counsel knowledgeable in the area and any 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 Opinion of Counsel a copy of which shall be provided to Seller and Servicer.

(c) 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 Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Holders shall have offered to Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to Trustee against the costs, expenses, and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby. Nothing contained in this Agreement, however, shall relieve Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event that is not timely cured or waived pursuant to Section 8.5, 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; provided that if Trustee assumes the duties of Servicer pursuant to Section 8.2, Trustee in performing such duties shall use the degree of skill and attention required by Section 3.1.

(d) Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement.

(e) Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event and after the curing of all Servicer Termination Events that may have occurred, Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of any matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,

consent, direction, order, approval, bond, note or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Majority Holders; provided that if the payment within a reasonable time to Trustee of the costs, expenses, or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of an investigation requested by the Holders is, in the opinion of Trustee, not reasonably assured to Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it against such cost, expense, or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by Servicer, or, if paid by Trustee, shall be reimbursed by Servicer upon demand. Nothing in this clause (e) shall affect the obligation of Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors; provided further, that Trustee shall be entitled to make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matter as it may reasonably see fit, and if Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation it shall be entitled to examine the books and records of Servicer, personally or by agent or attorney, at the sole cost and expense of Servicer.

(f) Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties under this Agreement either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, nominees or a custodian, and shall not be liable for the acts of such agents, attorney, nominees or custodians except for (i) acts of or any successor agent carrying out Trustee’s obligations with respect to the preparation of Servicer Reports and (ii) acts of any other agent, attorney, nominee or custodian if (A) Trustee has not acted with due care in their appointment or (B) Seller has not consented to their appointment.

(g) Trustee shall not be required to make any initial or periodic examination of any documents or records related to the Receivables or Financed Vehicles for the purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by Seller with its representations and warranties or for any other purpose.

(h) Trustee shall not be construed to be a guarantor of the performance of Servicer, nor shall Trustee have any duty to monitor the performance of Servicer other than as expressly stated in this Agreement.

(i) Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any Servicer Termination Event hereunder, except a Servicer Termination Event under Section 8.1(a)(i) or (ii), unless Trustee shall be specifically notified in writing of such Servicer Termination Event by Servicer, Seller or any Holder. All notices or other instruments required by this Agreement to be delivered to Trustee shall be delivered at the Corporate Trust Office and, in the absence of such notice so delivered, Trustee may conclusively assume there is no Servicer Termination Event except as aforesaid.

Section 9.6 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Receivables. Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals contained herein and in the

Certificates (other than the certificate of authentication on the Certificates). Except as expressly provided herein, Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than Trustee’s execution of, and the certificate of authentication on, the Certificates), or of any Receivable or related document, or for the validity of the execution by Seller and Servicer of this Agreement or of any supplements hereto or instruments of further assurance, or for the sufficiency of the Trust Property hereunder, and Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or agreements on the part of Servicer under this Agreement except as herein set forth; but Trustee may require Servicer to provide full information and advice as to the performance of the aforesaid covenants, condition and agreements. Trustee (solely in its capacity as such) shall have no obligation to perform any of the duties of Servicer, except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement. Trustee shall have no liability in connection with compliance of Servicer with statutory or regulatory requirements to the Receivables. Trustee shall not make or be deemed to have made any representations or warranties with respect to the Receivables or the validity or sufficiency of any assignment of the Receivables to the Trust or Trustee. Trustee (solely in its capacity as such) shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for, or with respect to, the legality, validity or enforceability of any security interest in any Financed Vehicle or (prior to the time, if any, that Servicer is terminated as custodian hereunder) any Receivable, or the perfection and priority of such a security interest or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, the efficacy of the Trust or its ability to generate funds sufficient to provide for the payments to be distributed to Holders under this Agreement, the existence, condition, location, and ownership of any Financed Vehicle, the existence and enforceability of the Insurance Policies, 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 Seller 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 Trustee’s receipt of notice or other discovery of any noncompliance therewith or any breach thereof, any investment of monies by Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom (it being understood that Trustee shall remain responsible for any Trust Property that it may hold), the acts or omissions of Seller, Servicer, or any Obligor, any action of Servicer taken in the name of Trustee, or any action by Trustee taken at the instruction, of Servicer (provided that such instruction is not in express violation of the terms and provisions of this Agreement); provided that the foregoing shall not relieve Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement. Except with respect to a claim based on the failure of Trustee to perform its duties under this Agreement (whether in its capacity as Trustee or as successor Servicer) or based on Trustee’s willful misconduct, negligence, or bad faith, or based on Trustee’s breach of a representation and warranty contained in Section 9.14, no recourse shall be had to Trustee (whether in its individual capacity or as Trustee) for any claim based on any provision of this Agreement, the Certificates, or any Receivable or assignment thereof against Trustee in its individual capacity; Trustee shall not have any personal obligation, liability, or duty whatsoever to any Holder or any other Person with respect to any such claim. Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by Seller of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to Servicer in respect of the Receivables prior to the time such amounts are deposited in the Collection Account (whether or not the Collection Account is

maintained with Trustee). Trustee shall have no liability for any losses from the investment or reinvestment in Eligible Investments made in accordance with Section 4.1.

Section 9.7 Trustee May Own Certificates. Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not Trustee.

Section 9.8 Trustee’s Fees and Expenses. Servicer agrees to pay to Trustee, and 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 powers and duties under this Agreement as Trustee, and Servicer shall pay or reimburse Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses (including expenses incurred in connection with notices or other communications to Holders), disbursements and advances (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) incurred or made by Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents, any co-trustee and counsel) or in defense of any action brought against it in connection with this Agreement except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith. Servicer’s covenant to pay the expenses, disbursements and advances provided for in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.9 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. Trustee shall at all times be organized and doing business under the banking laws of the United States or of any state thereof, shall be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, shall have a consolidated net worth of at least $50,000,000 and shall be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state banking authorities. If Trustee shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section 9.9, the consolidated net worth of such Trustee shall be deemed to be its consolidated capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent consolidated report of condition so published. In case at any time Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.9, Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.10.

Section 9.10 Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor 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 Trustee; provided, however, that such right to appoint or to petition for the appointment of any such successor shall in no event relieve the resigning Trustee from any obligations otherwise imposed on it under this Agreement and the Related Agreements until such successor has in fact assumed such appointment.

(b) If at any time Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.9 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by Servicer, or if at any time Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver, conservator or liquidator of Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then Servicer may remove Trustee. If Trustee is removed under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to Trustee so removed, the successor Trustee, the Holders at their respective addresses of record and the Rating Agencies.

(c) Any resignation or removal of Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.10 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 9.11.

(d) The respective obligations of Seller and Servicer described in this Agreement shall survive the removal or resignation of Trustee as provided in this Agreement.

Section 9.11 Successor Trustee. (a) Any successor Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.10 shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor Trustee all documents and statements held by it under this Agreement, and Servicer and the predecessor 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 Trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

(b) No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 9.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.9.

(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee pursuant to this Section 9.11, Servicer shall mail notice of such acceptance by the successor Trustee under this Agreement to all Holders at their respective addresses of record and to the Rating Agencies. If Servicer shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of Servicer.

(d) No predecessor Trustee shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Trustee.

Section 9.12 Merger or Consolidation of or Assumption of Obligations of Trustee. Any corporation or banking association which is eligible to be a successor Trustee under Section 9.9 (a) into which Trustee may be merged or consolidated, (b) that may result from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Trustee shall be a party, or (c) that may succeed by purchase and assumption to the business of Trustee, where Trustee is not the surviving entity, which corporation or banking association executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of Trustee under this Agreement, shall be the successor of Trustee hereunder, 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.
