and assign the Receivable to Owner Trustee and immediately upon the transfer and
assignment of the Receivable to Owner Trustee, Owner Trustee shall have good and
marketable title to the Receivable, free and clear of any Lien; and Owner

jurisdiction, to give Owner Trustee a first priority perfected ownership
interest in the Receivables, and to give Indenture Trustee a first priority

security interest in the Receivables.

on its part to be fulfilled under, or in connection with, the Receivable.

immediately prior to the Closing Date, M&I Bank or one of its Affiliates will
have possession of such original executed Receivable.
(n) No Government Obligor. The Obligor on the Receivable is not the
United States of America or any state thereof or any local government, or any
agency, department, political
6 2002-1 Sale and Servicing Agreement
subdivision or instrumentality of the United States of America or any state
thereof or any local government.
(o) Marking Records. By the Closing Date, M&I Bank shall have caused
the portions of M&I Bank's electronic master record of Motor Vehicle Loans
relating to the Receivables to be clearly and unambiguously marked to show that
the Receivable is owned by the Owner Trustee in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
(p) No Assignment. As of the Closing Date neither M&I Bank nor any of
its Affiliates shall have taken any action to convey any right to any Person
that would result in such Person having a right to payments received under the
Insurance Policies or Dealer Agreements, or payments due under the Receivable,
that is senior to, or equal with, that of the Owner Trustee.
(q) Lawful Assignment. The Receivable has not been originated in, and
is not subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer
or assignment of such Receivable hereunder or pursuant to transfers of the Notes
or Certificates are unlawful, void or voidable. Neither M&I Bank nor any of its
Affiliates has entered into any agreement with any Obligor that prohibits,
restricts or conditions the assignment of any portion of the Receivables.
(r) Dealer Agreements. A Dealer Agreement for each Receivable is in
effect whereby the Dealer warrants title to the Motor Vehicle and indemnifies
Dealer Finance and its assigns against the unenforceability of each Receivable
sold thereunder, and the rights of Dealer Finance thereunder, with regard to the
Receivable sold hereunder, have been validly assigned to and are enforceable
against the Dealer by the Seller, along with any Dealer Recourse.
(s) Composition of Receivable. No Receivable has a Principal Balance
which includes capitalized interest, late charges or amounts attributable to the
payment of the premium for any Physical Damage Insurance Policy.
(t) Database File. The information included with respect to each
Receivable in the database file delivered pursuant to Section 4.9(b) of this
Agreement is accurate and complete in all material respects.

of 2002.
(x) Perfection Representations. The Perfection Representations shall be
a part of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.2. Representations and Warranties as to Each Subsequent
Receivable on the Related Funding Date. Servicer shall make the representations
and warranties on each Funding Date as to each Subsequent Receivable conveyed by
it to Owner Trustee hereunder on which Owner Trustee shall rely in acquiring the
Subsequent Receivables in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. Unless
otherwise indicated, such representations and warranties shall speak as of the
related Funding Date, but shall survive the transfer and assignment of the
Subsequent Receivables to Owner Trustee and the pledge thereof to Indenture
Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
SECTION 3.3. Purchase by Servicer upon Breach of Representation or
Warranty. Seller, Servicer, Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as the case may
be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement promptly, in writing, upon
the discovery (or, with respect to the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, upon
actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer) of any breach or failure to be true
of the representations or warranties made by the Servicer in Section 3.1;
provided that such breach or failure materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Owner Trustee and the Holders in any Receivables; and provided
further that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of
the Servicer. If the breach or failure shall not have been cured by the last day
of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or if the Servicer elects,
the 30th day) after the date on which Servicer becomes aware of, or receives
written notice from Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee of, such breach or
failure, and such breach or failure materially and adversely affects the
interests of Owner Trustee and the Holders in any Receivable, the Servicer shall
purchase each such affected Receivable from Owner Trustee as of such last day of
such Collection Period at a purchase price equal to the Purchase Amount for such
Receivable as of such last day of such Collection Period, which amount shall be
deposited in the Collection Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such
breach or failure with respect to the representations and warranties contained
in Section 3.1 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 Owner Trustee to receive and retain payment in full on
such Receivable. In consideration of the purchase of a Receivable hereunder, the
Servicer shall remit the Purchase Amount of such Receivable, no later than the
close of business on the next Deposit Date, in the manner specified in Section
5.4. The sole remedy (except as provided in Section 7.2 of this Agreement) of
the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Holders with respect to a breach
or failure to be true of the representations or warranties made by Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be to require the Servicer to purchase Receivables
pursuant to this Section 3.3; provided that this Section 3.3 shall not limit the
right of
8 2002-1 Sale and Servicing Agreement
the Servicer, Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee to enforce (or to cause Seller
to enforce) the obligation of M&I Bank pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
With respect to all Receivables purchased pursuant to this Section 3.3,
Owner Trustee shall assign to the Servicer without recourse, representation or
warranty all of Owner Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such
Receivables and all security and documents, relating thereto.
SECTION 3.4. Custodian of Receivable Files. (a) Custody. To assure
uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs,
Owner Trustee, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, revocably
appoints Custodian, as agent, and Custodian accepts such appointment, to act as
agent on behalf of Owner Trustee to maintain custody of the following documents
or instruments, which are hereby constructively delivered to Owner Trustee with
respect to each Receivable (collectively, a "Receivable File"):
(i) the fully executed original Receivable;
(ii) the original credit application, fully executed by the
Obligor or a photocopy thereof, or a record thereof on a computer file,
diskette or on microfiche;
(iii) the original certificate of title or confirmation of
security interest, or such other documents as M&I Bank or its Affiliates
keeps on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, evidencing
the security interest of M&I Bank or Dealer Finance in the Financed
Vehicle;
(iv) originals or true copies of all documents, instruments or
writings relating to extensions, amendments or waivers of the Receivable
or a photocopy thereof, or a record thereof on a computer file, diskette
or on microfiche; and
(v) any and all other documents or electronic records that M&I
Bank or its Affiliates, keep on file, in accordance with their customary
procedures, relating to the Receivable, any Insurance Policies, the
Obligor or the Financed Vehicle.
(b) Safekeeping. Servicer, in its capacity as Custodian, shall hold the
Receivable Files as agent on behalf of Owner Trustee and maintain such accurate
and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each
Receivable as shall enable Servicer and Owner Trustee to comply with the terms
and provisions of this Agreement applicable to them. In performing its duties as
Custodian hereunder, 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 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 the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee to verify, if the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee so
elects, the accuracy of the record keeping of Custodian. Custodian shall
promptly report to Owner Trustee any failure on its part to hold the Receivable
Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein
provided, and promptly
9 2002-1 Sale and Servicing Agreement
take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Custodian hereby
acknowledges receipt of the Receivable File for each Receivable listed on the
Schedule of Receivables. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require Owner
Trustee, Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee to verify the accuracy of the record
keeping of the Custodian.
(c) Maintenance of and Access to Records. Custodian shall maintain each
Receivable File at the location specified in Schedule B to this Agreement, or at
such other office of 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 Owner Trustee by 30 days' prior written
notice. Custodian shall make available to Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and
their respective agents (or, when requested in writing by Owner Trustee or
Indenture Trustee, their respective attorneys or auditors) the Receivable Files
and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by Custodian
at such times as Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee shall instruct for purposes
of inspecting, auditing or making copies of abstracts of the same, but only upon
reasonable notice and during the normal business hours at the respective offices
of Custodian.
(d) Release of Documents. Upon written instructions from Indenture
Trustee (or, if no Notes are then Outstanding, Owner Trustee), Custodian shall
release any document in the Receivable Files to Indenture Trustee or Owner
Trustee or its respective agent or designee, as the case may be, at such place
or places as Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee may designate, as soon
thereafter as is practicable. Any document so released shall be handled by
Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee with due care and returned to Custodian for
safekeeping as soon as Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee or its respective
agent or designee, as the case may be, shall have no further need therefor.
(e) Title to Receivables. Custodian agrees that, in respect of any
Receivable File held by Custodian hereunder, 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 Owner Trustee and that the entire equitable
interest in such Receivable and the related Receivable File shall at all times
be vested in Owner Trustee.
(f) Instructions; Authority to Act. 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 Indenture
Trustee or Owner Trustee, as applicable. A certified copy of excerpts of certain
resolutions of the Board of Directors of Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as
applicable, 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 Custodian of written notice to the contrary given by Indenture
Trustee or Owner Trustee, as applicable.
(g) Custodian's Indemnification. Subject to Section 10.5, Custodian
shall indemnify and hold harmless Owner Trustee (individually and in such
capacity) and Indenture Trustee (individually and in such capacity), and each of
their respective officers, directors, employees and agents and the Holders from
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages,
payments, costs or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses if
any) of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against
10 2002-1 Sale and Servicing Agreement
Owner Trustee, Indenture 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 Custodian shall not be liable hereunder to the Owner
Trustee or Indenture Trustee to the extent that such liabilities, obligations,
losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses result from the
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of Owner Trustee or Indenture
Trustee, as the case may be. Indemnification under this subsection (g) shall
survive termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Owner
Trustee or Indenture Trustee, as the case may be. If Custodian shall have made
any indemnity payments to Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section 3.4 and Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee thereafter shall collect any
of such amounts from Persons other than Custodian, Owner Trustee or Indenture
Trustee, as the case may be, shall, as soon as practicable following such
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 the
Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee or by the Holders of Notes evidencing not
less than 25% of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the
Controlling Note Class (or, if no Notes are then Outstanding, the Holders of
Certificates representing not less than 50% of the Certificate Percentage
Interests), in each case in the same manner as Owner Trustee or Indenture
Trustee or such Holders may terminate the rights and obligations of Servicer
under Section 8.1. As soon as practicable after any termination of such
appointment Servicer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Receivable
Files to Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as applicable, or its respective
agent or designee at such place or places as Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee,
as applicable, 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, Indenture 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 under the Basic Documents to any Affiliate;
provided that no such delegation shall relieve Custodian of its responsibility
with respect to such duties and Custodian shall remain obligated and liable to
Owner Trustee and the Holders for its duties hereunder as if Custodian alone
were performing such duties.
ARTICLE IV. ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES.
SECTION 4.1. Duties of Servicer. (a) Servicer is hereby authorized to
act as agent for Owner Trustee 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
11 2002-1 Sale and Servicing Agreement
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, furnishing monthly and
annual statements to Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee with respect to
distributions, providing collection and repossession services in the event of
Obligor default and performing the other duties specified herein.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered by Owner Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of
itself, Indenture Trustee, Owner 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, Owner Trustee shall thereupon be deemed to have
automatically assigned such Receivable to Servicer, which assignment shall be
solely for purposes of collection. Owner 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 or consent, delegate (i)
any or all duties under this Agreement to any Person that is an Affiliate of the
Servicer, so long as M&I Bank acts as Servicer, or (ii) specific duties to
sub-contractors 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 the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Holders for servicing and administering the
Receivables in accordance with this Agreement as if Servicer alone were
performing such duties.
(c) The Servicer shall pay the Administrator the fee pursuant to the
Administration Agreement.
(d) To the extent any document are required to be filed with respect to
the Owner Trustee or the Trust pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, the
Servicer shall prepare and execute any such documents and is authorized to file
such documents on behalf of the Owner Trustee and the Trust.
SECTION 4.2. 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 related property in such manner as will, in
the reasonable judgment of Servicer, maximize the amount to be received by Owner
Trustee with respect thereto, in accordance with the standard of care required
by Section 4.1. Servicer
12 2002-1 Sale and Servicing Agreement
shall be entitled to grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a Receivable,
or amend or modify any Receivable in accordance with its customary procedures if
Servicer believes in good faith that such amendment or modification is in Owner
Trustee's best interests; provided that Servicer may not, unless ordered by a
court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise required by applicable law, (i)
extend a Receivable beyond September 18, 2009 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 4.7 as of the last day of the Collection Period in
which such failure occurs. Servicer may, in accordance with its customary
standards, policies and procedures, (i) 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 and (ii) treat a partial scheduled
payment as being a full scheduled payment 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 4.3. Realization upon Receivables. On behalf of Owner Trustee,
Servicer shall charge off a Receivable in accordance with its customary
standards (and, in no event later than 150 days after a Receivable shall have
become delinquent) and shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with its
customary standards, to repossess and liquidate the Financed Vehicle securing
any Defaulted Receivable as soon as feasible after such Receivable becomes a
Defaulted Receivable, in accordance with the standard of care required by
Section 4.1. 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 4.1, 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,
consistent with its customary servicing procedures, shall not expend funds in
connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless
it shall determine, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, 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 Owner 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, Owner Trustee, on
behalf of Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, subject to the Indenture, at
13 2002-1 Sale and Servicing Agreement
Servicer's expense, shall take such steps as Servicer deems necessary to enforce
the Dealer Agreement, including bringing suit in the name of Owner Trustee or
Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 4.4. Physical Damage Insurance. (a) The Receivables require that
each Financed Vehicle be insured under a Physical Damage Insurance Policy. If
Servicer receives notice that an Obligor has failed to obtain or maintain a
Physical Damage Insurance Policy covering the related Financed Vehicle, Servicer
shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary servicing
procedures to enforce the rights of the holder of the Receivable under the
Receivable to require the Obligor to obtain such physical damage insurance,
provided that Servicer shall not be required to take such actions if there is in
place a lender's single interest policy with respect to the related Financed
Vehicle that complies with Servicer's customary requirements. It is understood
that Servicer will not "force-place" any Physical Damage Insurance Policy on any
Financed Vehicle.
(b) Servicer may xxx to enforce or collect upon the Physical Damage
Insurance Policies, in its own name, if possible, or as agent for Owner Trustee.
If Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Physical Damage
Insurance Policy, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic
assignment of the rights of Owner Trustee under such Physical Damage Insurance
Policy to Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any
enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that Servicer may not enforce a
Physical Damage Insurance Policy on the grounds that it is not a real party in
interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Physical Damage Insurance Policy,
Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, subject to the
Indenture, at Servicer's expense and written direction, shall take such steps as
Servicer deems necessary to enforce such Physical Damage Insurance Policy,
including bringing suit in Owner Trustee's name or the name of the Trust or
Indenture Trustee. Servicer shall make all claims and enforce its rights under
any lender's single interest insurance policy (to the extent such claims or
rights relate to Receivables) for the benefit of the Owner Trustee and shall
treat as Collections all related proceeds of such policies.
SECTION 4.5. Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles.
Servicer, in accordance with the standard of care required under Section 4.1,
shall take such reasonable steps as are necessary and as are consistent with its
customary business practices to maintain perfection of the security interest
created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle for the benefit of
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. Owner Trustee hereby authorizes
Servicer, and Servicer hereby agrees, to take such reasonable steps as are
necessary and as are consistent with its customary business practices to
re-perfect such security interest on behalf of Owner Trustee in the event
Servicer receives notice of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle.
SECTION 4.6. Covenants of Servicer. Servicer makes the following
covenants on which Owner Trustee relies in acquiring the Receivables:
(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 Owner Trustee or the Holders in the Receivables, the Dealer
Agreements or the Physical
14 2002-1 Sale and Servicing Agreement
Damage Insurance Policies or, subject to clause (c) below, otherwise amend or
alter the terms thereof if, as a result of such amendment or alteration, the
interests of Owner Trustee 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 4.2.
SECTION 4.7. Purchase by Servicer upon Breach of Covenant. Seller,
Servicer, Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform
the other parties promptly, in writing, upon the discovery (or, in the case of
the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, upon actual knowledge of a Responsible
Officer) of any breach by Servicer of its covenants under Section 4.5 or 4.6;
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 materially and adversely affects the
interests of Owner Trustee and the Holders in any Receivable, Servicer shall
purchase such Receivable from Owner 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, which amount shall be deposited in
the Collection Account; provided that in the case of a breach of the covenant
contained in Section 4.6(c), Servicer shall be obligated to purchase the
affected Receivable or Receivables on the Business Day preceding the Deposit
Date immediately succeeding the Collection Period during which Servicer becomes
aware of, or receives written notice of, such breach. In consideration of the
purchase of a Receivable hereunder, Servicer shall remit the Purchase Amount of
such Receivable in the manner specified in Section 5.4. The sole remedy (except
as provided in Section 7.2) of Owner Trustee, Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee
or the Holders against Servicer with respect to a breach pursuant to Section 4.5
or 4.6 shall be to require Servicer to purchase Receivables pursuant to this
Section 4.7.
With respect to all Receivables purchase pursuant to this Section 4.7,
Owner Trustee shall assign to Servicer, without recourse, representation or
warranty, all of Owner Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such
Receivables and all security and documents relating thereto.
SECTION 4.8. Servicing Fee. The servicing fee for each Payment Date
shall equal the product of one-twelfth of the Servicing Rate and the Pool
Balance as of the first day of the Collection Period or as of the Initial Cutoff
Date in the case of the initial Collection Period (the "Servicing Fee").
Servicer shall also be entitled to retain any extension fees 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 (the "Supplemental Servicing Fee"). It is understood
and agreed that Available Collections 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 Payment 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.
SECTION 4.9. Servicer's Report. (a) On each Determination Date, Servicer
shall deliver to Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee, each Paying Agent and Seller,
with a copy to the
15 2002-1 Sale and Servicing Agreement
Rating Agencies, a Servicer's Report substantially in the form of Exhibit A,
containing all information necessary to make the transfers and distributions
pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 (including amounts required to be transferred
from the Reserve Account to the Collection Account) for the Collection Period
preceding the date of such Servicer's Report together with all information
necessary for the Owner Trustee to send statements to Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 5.6 and Indenture Trustee to send copies of statements
received by the Indenture Trustee to Noteholders pursuant to the Indenture and
Section 5.6 of this Agreement. Receivables to be purchased by the Servicer shall
be identified by Servicer by account number with respect to such Receivable (as
specified in the Schedule of Receivables).
(b) Servicer shall provide Indenture Trustee with a database file for
the Receivables at or prior to the Closing Date and on each Funding Date (but
with information as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date and each
Subsequent Cutoff Date).
SECTION 4.10. Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Default. (a)
Servicer shall deliver to Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and each Rating
Agency, on or before March 31 of each year beginning on March 31, 2003, an
Officer's Certificate, dated as of December 31 of the preceding year, stating
that (i) a review of the activities of Servicer during the preceding 12-month
period (or, in the case of the first such report, during the period from the
Closing Date to December 31, 2002) and of its performance under this Agreement
has been made under such officer's supervision and (ii) to the best of such
officer's knowledge, based on such review, Servicer has fulfilled all its
obligations in all material respects under this Agreement throughout such year
or, if there exists any uncured default in the fulfillment of any such
obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature
and status thereof. A copy of such certificate and the report referred to in
Section 4.11 may be obtained by any Noteholder by a request in writing to
Indenture Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.
(b) Servicer shall deliver to Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and the
Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no
event later than five (5) 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.
SECTION 4.11. Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Report.
The Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants (who
may also render other services to the Servicer or Seller and their Affiliates)
to deliver to the Seller, Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and each Rating
Agency on or before March 31 of each year beginning on March 31, 2003, a report
to the effect that, as to objectively determinable matters, such firm has
examined the Servicer's assertion that it has fulfilled its obligations in all
material respects under this Agreement for the twelve months ended December 31
of the preceding year (or, in the case of the first such certificate, from the
Closing Date until December 31, 2002) set forth in the Officer's Certificate
delivered pursuant to Section 4.10(a), and that (1) such examination was made in
accordance with the standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, (2) except as described in the report, the assertions in the
Officer's Certificate are, as to objectively determinable matters, fairly stated
in all material respects and (3) that the firm is independent of Servicer within
the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants.
16 2002-1 Sale and Servicing Agreement
In the event such firm requires the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee
to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, Servicer shall direct the
Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as the case may be, in writing to so agree;
it being understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as
the case may be, will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance
upon the direction of Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as
the case may be, need not make any independent inquiry or investigation as to,
and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency,
validity or correctness of such procedures.
SECTION 4.12. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
Receivables. Servicer shall provide to the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee,
Certificateholders, Noteholders, Bank Regulatory Authorities, and the
supervisory agents and examiners of Bank Regulatory Authorities access to the
Receivable Files, as to the latter in such cases where the Certificateholders,
Noteholders or Bank Regulatory Authorities shall be required by applicable
statutes or regulations to review such documentation as demonstrated by evidence
satisfactory to Servicer in its reasonable judgment. Access shall be afforded
without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business
hours at the respective offices of Servicer. Nothing in this Section 4.12 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 4.12. Any Holder, by its acceptance of a
Certificate or Note, as applicable, shall be deemed to have agreed to keep any
information obtained by it pursuant to this Section 4.12 confidential and not to
use such information for any other purpose, except as required by applicable
law.
SECTION 4.13. Reports to the Rating Agencies. 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.

writing by Servicer and of which Servicer provides notification (pursuant to
standing instructions or otherwise); provided that it is understood and agreed

Interests, as applicable; or
(c) an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to Servicer or any of its

Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form
acceptable to Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor

other rights and properties included in the Owner Trust Estate. 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

capacity) is paid or reimbursed all amounts it is entitled to receive under this
Agreement on each Payment Date subsequent to the date on which it is terminated
as Servicer hereunder.

or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.

excepting only Liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or
levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and
payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or
that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which
adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with
respect to such a Lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to
which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.
5. The Servicer has caused or will have caused, within ten days after

transfer and sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Owner Trustee, and
the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Indenture Trustee

6. With respect to Receivables that constitute tangible chattel
paper, such tangible chattel paper is in the possession of the Custodian and the

the benefit of the Indenture Trustee.
7. The Servicer has not authorized the filing of, or is aware of any
financing statements against Bank One (as agent on behalf of PREFCO), M&I Bank,

EXHIBIT B
Form of Funding Date Officer's Certificate
I, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Senior Vice President of M&I Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx Bank, a
banking corporation organized under the laws of the State of Wisconsin (the
"Corporation"), as Servicer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated
as of October 10, 2002, among the Corporation, The Bank of New York (Delaware),
not in its individual capacity but solely as owner trustee of M&I Auto Loan
Trust 2002-1 (the "Owner Trustee"), M&I Dealer Auto Securitization, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, as seller, and Bank One, National
Association, a national banking association, as indenture trustee (the
"Indenture Trustee") hereby certify that the Funding Date shall be [______]
(which [is][is not] the final Funding Date, the Subsequent Cutoff Date shall be
[______]) and that as of the date hereof no Event of Servicing Termination has
occurred and is continuing under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture.
Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein have the
meanings assigned to them in Appendix X to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
In addition to the above, I also certify as to the following as of the
Funding Date:
(a) Characteristics of Subsequent Receivables. The Subsequent Receivable
has been fully and properly executed by the parties thereto and (i) has been
originated by a Dealer in the ordinary course of such Dealer's business to
finance the retail sale by a Dealer of the related Financed Vehicle and has been
purchased by M&I Bank, Dealer Finance or their predecessors in interest in the
ordinary course of their business, (ii) was underwritten in accordance with M&I
Bank's underwriting standards, (iii) is secured by a valid, subsisting, binding
and enforceable first priority perfected security interest in favor of Dealer
Finance or M&I Bank in the Financed Vehicle (subject to administrative delays
and clerical errors on the part of the applicable government agency and to any
statutory or other Lien arising by operation of law after the Funding Date which
is prior to such security interest), which security interest is assignable
together with such Subsequent Receivable, and has been so assigned to Seller,
and subsequently assigned to Owner Trustee pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, and pledged to Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, (iv)
contains customary and enforceable provisions such that the rights and remedies
of the holder thereof are adequate for realization against the collateral of the
benefits of the security, (v) provided, at origination, for level monthly
payments (provided that the amount of the first or last payment may be minimally
different), which fully amortize the Initial Principal Balance over the original
term, (vi) provides for interest at the Contract Rate specified in the Schedule
of Receivables delivered on the Funding Date, (vii) was originated in the United
States and (viii) constitutes "chattel paper" as defined in the UCC.
(b) Individual Characteristics. The Subsequent Receivables have the
following individual characteristics as of the Subsequent Cutoff Date (i) each
Subsequent Receivable is secured by a Motor Vehicle; (ii) each Subsequent
Receivable has a Contract Rate of no less than 5.50% and not more than [_____]%;
(iii) each Subsequent Receivable had an original term to maturity of not more
than 72 months and not less than 12 months and each Subsequent Receivable has a
remaining term to maturity, as of the Subsequent Cutoff Date, of six months or
more; (iv) each Subsequent Receivable had an Initial Principal Balance less than
or equal to
Exhibit B-1
$[________]; (v) each Subsequent Receivable has a Cutoff Date Principal Balance
of greater than or equal to $[________]; (vi) no Subsequent Receivable has a
scheduled maturity date later than September 19, 2009; (vii) no Subsequent
Receivable was more than 29 days past due as of the Subsequent Cutoff Date;
(viii) no Financed Vehicle was noted in the related records of M&I Bank as being
the subject of any pending bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding as of the
Subsequent Cutoff Date; (ix) no Subsequent Receivable is subject to a force
placed Physical Damage Insurance Policy on the related Financed Vehicle; (x)
each Subsequent Receivable is a Simple Interest Receivable; and (xi) the Dealer
of the Financed Vehicle has no participation in, or other right to receive, any
proceeds of such Subsequent Receivable. The Subsequent Receivables were selected
using selection procedures that were not intended by M&I Bank or Dealer Finance
to be adverse to the Seller.
(c) Schedule of Subsequent Receivables. The information with respect
to each Receivable set forth in the Schedule of Receivables delivered on the
Funding Date, including (without limitation) the account number, the Cutoff Date
Principal Balance, the maturity date and the Contract Rate, was true and correct
in all material respects as of the close of business on the Subsequent Cutoff
Date.
(d) Compliance with Law. The Subsequent Receivable and the sale of the
related Financed Vehicle complied at the time it was originated or made, and
will comply as of the Funding Date, in all material respects with all
requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws, and regulations
thereunder, including, to the extent applicable, usury laws, the Federal Truth
in Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act,
the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxx Warranty Act, the Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act, Federal Reserve Board Regulations B and Z and any
other consumer credit, consumer protection, equal opportunity and disclosure
laws.
(e) Binding Obligation. The Subsequent Receivable constitutes the
genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of the Obligor,
enforceable in all material respects by the holder thereof in accordance with
its terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or
other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and
the Subsequent Receivable is not subject to any right of rescission, setoff,
counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury.
(f) Lien in Force. The Subsequent Receivable has not been satisfied,
subordinated or rescinded and M&I Bank or Dealer Finance has not taken any
action which would have the effect of releasing the related Financed Vehicle
from the Lien granted by the Subsequent Receivable in whole or in part.
(g) No Amendment or Waiver. No material provision of the Subsequent
Receivable has been amended, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except
such waivers as would be permitted under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and as
are reflected in the Receivable File, and no amendment, waiver, alteration or
modification causes such Subsequent Receivable not to conform to the other
representations or warranties contained in this Section.
(h) No Liens. There are no Liens or claims, including Liens for work,
labor, materials or unpaid state or federal taxes, relating to the Financed
Vehicle securing the Subsequent
Exhibit B-2
Receivable, that are or may be prior to or equal to the Lien granted by the
Subsequent Receivable.
(i) No Default. Except for payment delinquencies continuing for a
period of less than 30 days as of the Subsequent Cutoff Date, no default,
breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of the
Subsequent Receivable exists and no continuing condition that with notice or
lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event
permitting acceleration under the terms of the Subsequent Receivable has arisen.
(j) Insurance. The Subsequent Receivable requires the Obligor to
insure the Financed Vehicle under a Physical and Damage Insurance Policy, pay
the premiums for such insurance and keep such insurance in full force and
effect.
(k) Good Title. It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer
and assignment herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Subsequent
Receivables from the Seller to Owner Trustee and that the beneficial interest in
and title to the Subsequent Receivables not be part of the Seller's estate in
the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition or insolvency proceeding by or
against the Seller under any bankruptcy or insolvency law. No Subsequent
Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned, or pledged (i) by M&I Bank to
any other Person other than the Seller, and (ii) by the Seller to any Person
other than the Owner Trustee. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment
herein contemplated, the Seller had good and marketable title to the Subsequent
Receivable free and clear of any Lien and had full right and power to transfer
and assign the Subsequent Receivable to Owner Trustee and immediately upon the
transfer and assignment of the Subsequent Receivable to Owner Trustee, Owner
Trustee shall have good and marketable title to the Subsequent Receivable, free
and clear of any Lien; and Owner Trustee's interest in the Subsequent Receivable
resulting from the transfer has been perfected under the UCC. All filings
(including UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction, to give Owner Trustee a
first priority perfected ownership interest in the Subsequent Receivables, and
to give Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest therein,
shall have been presented to Indenture Trustee for filing in the appropriate
filing offices. Upon such filing by the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
will have a first priority perfected security interest in the Subsequent
Receivables.
(l) Obligations. M&I Bank has duly fulfilled all material obligations
on its part to be fulfilled under, or in connection with, the Subsequent
Receivable.
(m) Possession. There is only one original executed Subsequent
Receivable, and immediately prior to the Funding Date, M&I Bank or one of its
Affiliates will have possession of such original executed Subsequent Receivable.
(n) No Government Obligor. The Obligor on the Subsequent Receivable is
not the United States of America or any state thereof or any local government,
or any agency, department, political subdivision or instrumentality of the
United States of America or any state thereof or any local government.
(o) Marking Records. By the Funding Date, M&I Bank shall have caused
the portions of M&I Bank's electronic master record of Motor Vehicle Loans
relating to the Subsequent
Exhibit B-3
Receivables to be clearly and unambiguously marked to show that the Subsequent
Receivable is owned by the Owner Trustee in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(p) No Assignment. As of the Funding Date neither M&I Bank nor any of
its Affiliates shall have taken any action to convey any right to any Person
that would result in such Person having a right to payments received under the
Insurance Policies or Dealer Agreements, or payments due under the Subsequent
Receivable, that is senior to, or equal with, that of the Owner Trustee.
(q) Lawful Assignment. The Subsequent Receivable has not been
originated in, and is not subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which
the sale, transfer or assignment of such Subsequent Receivable hereunder or
pursuant to transfers of the Notes or Certificates are unlawful, void or
voidable. Neither M&I Bank nor any of its Affiliates has entered into any
agreement with any Obligor that prohibits, restricts or conditions the
assignment of any portion of the Subsequent Receivables.
(r) Dealer Agreements. A Dealer Agreement for each Subsequent
