already entered into a credit-sale contract with that consumer, which can be
legally enforced by you and/or any underlying Customer's Dealership, on the one
hand, and the Obligor(s) on the other.
(b) If we issue an Advance approval number for a Contract, you will deliver
the Receivable File for that Contract to us. However, our issuing an approval
number does not by itself constitute our acceptance of the Contract.
(c) Acceptance of a Contract happens, if at all, only after we receive and
approve the related Receivable File. When you submit a Receivable File, you are
simultaneously granting us a security interest in the Receivable, whether or not
the Contract constituting that Receivable contains the signature of either or

preprinted language of such Contract contains words of assignment in addition to
or in lieu of words concerning the granting of a security interest in such
Contract. Upon our request you will execute and furnish to us any documents we
deem necessary or appropriate to enable us to carry out our Collection Services

comparable instruments, with respect to Receivables or Financed Vehicles: (iii)
waive any late payment charge or any other fee that may be collected in the
ordinary course of servicing a Receivable; (iv) reform Contracts, as deemed
appropriate in UUAC's sole discretion and without notice to you, by way of
extension or other modification of any of the terms and conditions; and (v)
commence a legal action against the Obligor(s) on that Receivable File, whether
we do so in our own name or on your behalf, should we determine it necessary or
reasonable to do so.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement alleged or purported to
be to the contract you and UUAC are each acting as an independent contractor and
shall have no duties or responsibilities to the other except as expressly set

Receivable has been accepted by UUAC under this Agreement, you will, no later
than the close of business the following Business Day, forward such payment, or
cause it to be forwarded, to UUAC in the form received. If any such payment is
received in cash, you ( or such Customer's Dealership) will: -Text Omitted per
Request for Confidenital Treatment by Pinnacle Business Management, Inc. - You
will do nothing, nor will you permit anything to be done on your behalf, to
discourage an Obligor from making Contract payments to UUAC and, by way of
illustration and not imitation, you xxxx neither encourage nor require an
Obligor to make Contract payments to you, rather than to UUAC.
Section 2.3 Foreclosure of Security (interest in Financed Vehicles.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Acting on your behalf and where we deem it appropriate and practicable, we will
repossess or otherwise obtain possession of the Financed Vehicle securing any

necessary or advisable, which may include repair and restoration of the Financed
Vehicle, and we or

our agents will sell the Financed Vehicle, subject to applicable law, at public,
or private sale. You will not do anything to thwart or hinder our repossession
efforts, and you will cooperate in every reasonable way with us in those
efforts. If an Obligor, or someone acting on behalf of In Obligor, returns a
Financed Vehicle to your premises (or the premises of any Customer's Dealership

interest in each Financed Vehicle, including, in jurisdictions where applicable,

Section 2.6 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Receivables.
------------
Upon request, you will give us any and all documents you possess which relate to
any Receivable File in our possession and/or to any Obligor on such Receivable

applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding an Obligor.
Section 2.7 Security Interest in Receivables and Financed
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicles: UUAC is not an Assignee.
---------------------------------------
You hereby grant UUAC a security interest in all Receivables now or hereafter
transferred to UUAC pursuant to this Agreement and in the financed Vehicles
connected therewith, wherever located, together with all proceeds, as security
for the payment of all your indebtedness to UUAC, including Advances, Collection
Costs, and any other amounts due UUAC hereunder. This grant of a security
interest may -but need not be -repeated in any individual Contract delivered to
UUAC hereunder, and the failure of any such Contract to repeat such grant shall
in no way affect or diminish the security interest UUAC acquires in any such
Contract and/or Financed Vehicle by reason of the language of this Agreement,
alone. While UUAC may also choose to perfect its security interest in all
Receivables previously, now or hereafter delivered to UUAC, its possession of
any Receivable will for all purposes between you and UUAC be deemed perfection.
This grant of a security interest in all Receivables will survive the
termination of this Agreement until you have paid in any repurchase obligations
you may incur under this Agreement. You agree to execute UCC Financing
Statements and take other actions requested by us in order to perfect any such
security interest. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to
mean that UUAC is an assignee -rather than the grantee of a security interest in
-as to anyone or more Receivables, whether because of this granting of a
security interest or otherwise, unless such purported assignment is specifically
provided in writing which is not preprinted. Any provision preprinted on any
Contract that contains words of transfer or assignment is, despite such
language, to be, and to be deemed to be, read only as if it grants UUAC a
security interest in such Contract, perfected by possession, thus being
consistent with UUAC's being merely a secured party with respect to such
Contract(s) and not anassignee.

At its option, and despite any language to the contrary in the Dealer Guide

payable by Customer or any Customer's Dealership (the so-called "Dealer-Remit")
rather than remitting it to you for subsequent remittance to the issuer. -Text

Request for Confidenital Treatment by Pinnacle Business Management, Inc. - %

Section 3.6 Potential Aggregation of all Servicing Program "Lots".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In certain Servicing Programs, for example Fast50, Receivables are aggregated
into discrete "Lots" for purposes of expediting UUAC's pay-over of Collections
to the dealer, while other program, such as ProfitNow Plus(+) treat all
Receivables as belonging to one Lot. For purposes of the following provisions
of this Section 3.3, "Lot" will be understood to mean both any Servicing
Program-specific discrete Lot and an entire Servicing Program portfolio which is
otherwise not broken-down into Lots. Despite any language to the contrary in
this Agreement and/or in the Dealer Guide, in its sole discretion and at any
time, UUAC may transfer and apply Collections nominally due with respect to one
Lot to any other Lot (treating them as if they were due on such other Lot) and
may charge Advances originally made with respect to one Lot to any other Lot.
This means that UUAC, in its sole discretion, has the ability to attempt to
minimize its losses with respect to some of your Qualified and/or Non-Qualified
Receivables by treating both Collections and Advances as fungible. This also
means that UUAC's obligation to disburse Collections to you, at UUAC's election,
can be a function of your worst-performing Lot.

Section 5.5-A -Dealer Pool Advance Plan Effects of Termination: Full Recourse
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plus Termination Fee.
-----------------------
If you have elected the Dealer Pool Advance Plan, once termination by either
you or UUAC becomes effective -except as otherwise provided below -you will be
obligated to pay us the tollowing amounts:
(a) Any unreimbursed Collection Costs:
(b) Any unpaid Advances and all other amounts owing by you to UUAC; and
(c) A termination fee equal to twenty percent (20%) of the then-outstanding
amount of Receivables, as liquidated damages.
We may demand ("Amounts due at Termination Demand") that we receive full payment
in good funds of the above amounts (collectively, "Amounts due at Termination")
as soon as 10 days after Termination has become effective or at such later
time(s) as we might, in our sole discretion, elect.
However, despite any language to the contrary in this Section 5.5-A or elsewhere
-------
in this Agreement, we will not capriciously terminate this Agreement and, unless
------
and until any or all of the following occur:
---------------------------------------------------
(i) UUAC TERMINATES THIS AGREEMENT because of: ( I) your actual or
alleged-in-good-faith fraud or misrepresentation involving any significant
portion of your then-remaining UUAC portfolio: (2) your sale or transfer of all
or any significant portion of your assets other than in the normal course of
your Dealership's business and/or your sale or transfer of control of your
Dealership; (4) your ceasing to continue your Dealership's business, voluntarily
or otherwise; (5) your filing a Petition to be a Debtor in Bankruptcy or an
involuntary Petition is filed against you: or (6) UUAC's at any time(s)
reasonably determining you are or will become unable or unwilling to repay on
demand any shortfall UUAC, using its standard projection model(s), in good faith
projects will remain after the proceeds of complete liquidation of your UUAC
Portfolio balance are applied to the then-current total of Amounts due at
Termination or
(ii) YOU TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT for any reason whatsoever and UUAC, at
any time(s) in good faith projects a Shortfall and reasonably determines you are
or will become unable or unwilling to pay it upon demand -
UUAC, upon Termination of this Agreement by either party will look initially to
the proceeds of your liquidating portfolio to satisfy your obligations with
respect to paying UUAC the Amounts due at Termination, and will not pursue you
for any or all or them unless and until UUAC, in good faith, projects a
Shortfall and reasonably determines you will be unwilling or unable to pay it
upon demand.
At the time, if ever, that anyone or more of the circumstances described above
in this Section 5.5-A actually occur, you agree that within five business days
of UUAC's written demand that you pay either the then-remaining balance of the
Amounts due at Termination or, in UUAC's sole discretion, the amount of any
projected Shortfall, you will pay such amounts to UUAC in good funds. In the
case of any payment by you of a projected Shortfall, you agree that it is only a
projection. though made in good faith, and that you ultimately remain
responsible for paying UUAC all of the then-remaining actual balance of the
Amounts due at Termination, no later than liquidation of the last Account in
your UUAC Portfolio. By the same token, if UUAC's projected Shortfall turns out
after complete liquidation of your UUAC Portfolio, to be smaller than any
Shortfall amount you were billed for and paid, UUAC will remit the difference to
you within -Text Omitted per Request for Confidenital Treatment by Pinnacle
Business Management, Inc. - business days of its determination of such
Shortfall overstatement, but you will not be entitled to any interest
whatsoever on such difference or any part of it.
Section 5.5-8 -NATIONAL POOL ADVANCE PLAN DEALERS Effects of Termination: Only
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fraud-Related Recourse.
------------------------
If you have elected the National Pool Plan Advance Plan, once termination by
either you or UUAC becomes effective, you will no longer be able to submit
Receivables to UUAC for Qualification. Your then-identified but unfulfilled
payback obligation with respect to anyone or more Receivables, pursuant to
Section 5.4, will survive termination. Subsequent to termination, if UUAC
discovers that any Event of Default recited at sub-sections on 5.3 (b) through
(d), inclusive, exists with respect to any Receivable which has not yet been
fully paid, you will have the same repayment obligation with respect to any such
Receivable(s) as you would under Section 5.4, and any such repayment must be
made so that UUAC receives it no later than -Text Omitted per Request for
Confidenital Treatment by Pinnacle Business Management, Inc. - days after it
makes written demand for payment on you. Post-termination, you will continue to
be eligible for any pro-rata Profit Pool distributions you become entitled to,
although UUAC will have a right of setoff against any such distributions
without regard to the Book(s) as to which UUAC's offset right arises.
Section 5.6 Mitigation of Damages.
--------------------------------------
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you waive the benefit of
any statute of limitations with respect to UUAC's being able to bring an action
at law and/or in equity on account of any of your unfulfilled payback
obligations. At any time it wishes to do so, UUAC may pursue any or all of its
remedies with respect to your unfulfilled payback obligations. Pending entry of
judgment in
8
any proceeding involving your unfulfilled payback obligations, UUAC will
continue its Collection efforts on your behalf with respect to any Receivables
covered by such proceedings, by way of mitigation of damages and not as an
election or waiver of Remedies. In the course of such Collection efforts, UUAC
will be entitled to its contractual Servicing Fee or to the post- termination
increased Servicing Fee provided above in this Agreement. If you are a Dealer
Pool Advance Plan Dealer, the Receivables base for any Termination Fee will be
reduced as Collections reduce the Receivables balance, At such time as UUAC
receives full payment of any post-termination obligations you owe it, UUAC will
deliver to you any Contracts which have not yet been paid-off, as well as a
release of its lien interest in the vehicle(s) securing such Contract(s).

propositions:
"ACCEPT" is what UUAC contracts to do -as spelled out in Section 2.1 of this
Agreement -with respect to a Receivable when and if all of the prerequisites to
acceptance recited at Section 2.1 have occurred. In this Agreement, such a
Receivable is sometimes said to have been " Accepted".
II ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION" means: (i) any entity -~ a corporation or otherwise
-which purchases Contracts from one or more retail new- and/or used-car
dealerships it owns or controls, and thereafter submits such Contracts to UUAC'

Servicing Agreement.

Dealer Guide (e.g., "Basic," "Book," "Optimum Book" and "Select") .Each Advance

Contract depends on the Advance Program for which the Contract is eligible and
what, if any, "additional deducts" might be applicable. II AGREEMENT" means
this Servicing Agreement, together with all Addenda, Amendments and Supplements
to it. All references to "Section(s)" refer to the appropriate Section(s) of
this Agreement.
"BUSINESS DAY" means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or a day on which
banking institutions in Kansas are allowed or obligated by law, executive order
or government decree to be closed.
"COLLECTION COSTS" means all out-of-pocket expenses, coSts, fees and retainers
of every type, without limitation or qualification, reasonably and/or
necessarily incurred or paid by UUAC in the administration, servicing, or
collection of a Qualified Receivable, including, without limitation or
qualification, those incidental to any or all of the repossession, storage or
sale of a Financed Vehicle or the forced-placement of collateral-protection
insurance covering a Financed Vehicle. "COLLECTIONS" means all amOunts received
by UUAC with respect to a Qualified Receovable including principal, interest,

pursuant to which Customer or a Customer's Dealership is financing or has
financed the purchase of a new or used automobile or light truck by one or more
consumers for personal. non-business use.
"CUSTOMER ENROLLMENT PACKET" means that compilation of documents identified as
the "Customer Enrollment Packet" (or some similar title) on its cover, which
you will complete and which by this reference is incorporated herein in its
entirety and made a part hereof.
"CUSTOMER'S DEALERSHIP" is a term that only applies if Customer is an
Acceptance Corporation or other non-retail- dealer-entity ("Non-Dealer"). In
such cases, it means and refers to any franchised or independent retail new
and/or used-car dealership accepted by UUAC as an "Additional Dealership" and so
designated by Customer on the " Additional-Dealership-Location Info Sheet" found
in the Customer Enrollment Packet. In addition to being so designated, such
retail car dealership must be operated as a subsidiary of Customer or be an
entity affiliated with Customer, unless UUAC allows an exception (e.g., for a
dealer-owned or dealer-operated trade association). If there will be any
Customer's Dealerships, UUAC suggests that before Customer begins to submit
Customer's Dealership's Receivables to UUAC, Customer enter into a Purchase &
Sale Agreement with each Customer's Dealership covering the rights and
responsibilities of each with respect to Receivables. Any actions or failures

provisions to the Dealer Guide and to otherwise address various aspects of
UUAC's and its Dealers' and Acceptance Corporations' business operations. If a
Dealer Bulletin includes "National Pool" or "Dealer Pool" in its title, it
affects only the National Pool or Dealer Pool Advance Program and/or the Dealer
Guide as it relates to that Advance Program.
1
"DEALER GUIDE" means: (i) that compilation of various materials and documents
which UUAC publishes under that title from time to time for the benefit,
instruction and guidance of its Dealers and Acceptance Corporations which have

edition of the Dealer Guide -as it might have been modified or amended by one or
more Dealer Bulletins -the Dealer Guide will prevail, but only to the extent
necessary to resolve the conflict. In all other cases, the provisions of this
Agreement and the applicable edition of the Dealer Guide are cumulative.
"DEALER POOL" is the feature that differentiates the UUAC's full-recourse Dealer
Pool Advance Plan from its non- Recourse National Pool Advance Plan. Dealer

Dealer signed-up for the Dealer Pool Advance Plan will be used to detel1Yline
whether -and to what extent -that Dealer will be entitled to any so-called

by UUAC as either a Qualified Receivable or a Non-Qualified Receivable.

one of the current N.A.D.A. Official Used Car Guide or -but only for Financed
Vehicles retailed in California, Arizona, Nevada or Oregon -Xxxxxx Blue Book,
securing an Obligor's indebtedness under a Qualified Receivable.
"FULL RECOURSE" applies only to the UUAC Dealer Pool Advance Plan and means
that, upon any termination of this Agreement, you will be liable to UUAC for the
total of its then-unrecovered Advances plus a Termination Fee, without regard to
whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and/or whether any of the
Receivables then in your portfolio are Defaulted Receivables; however the timing
and method of your repayment of these post-termination obligations is subject to
certain conditions, more fully described in the main body or this Agreement.
"LIQUIDATION PROCEEDS" means cash proceeds realized from liquidation of a
Financed Vehicle securing a Defaulted Receivable, less any excess required law
to be remitted to the Obligor, Collateral liquidation may be accomplished by any
appropriate means. including but not limited to, public or private sale or

explained in the Dealer Guide. is not a Qualified Receivable and therefore.
while eligible for Servicing, is not eligible for Advance.

contractually obligated to pay money due on a Contract.

and subdivisions thereof.
"QUALIFICATION" means the UUAC process to determine whether or not a Receivable
submitted to it by Customer under this Agreement is a Qualified Receivable.
"QUALIFIED RECEIVABLE" means a Receivable which has gone through Qualification,
on which UUAC has made an Advance and which conforms to and complies with the
following specifications, the correctness of which Customer represents and
warrants to UUAC each and every time Customer submits a Contract and Receivable
File to UUAC for Qualification under this Agreement:
a) it is a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Obligor(s);
b) it is not in default at the date of transfer to UUAC;
c) it is owned by Customer, free and clear of all liens, claims, options,
encumbrances, security interests, and other rights ( other than liens in favor
of UUAC);
d) it is enforceable against each Obligor for the amount shown as owing in
the Contract, and such amount is reflected as a receivable in Customer's (and

Installment Contract form prescribed by, and printed on behalf of UUAC and made
no deletions from the preprinted text and no additions other than those clearly
called for by any "blanks" to be filled-in, Customer's representation and
warrenty with respect to Regulation l compliance shall only extend to whether or
not Customer (or any underlying Customer's Dealership) has correctly filled-in
any or all "blanks" on such Retail Installment Contract; t) it is not subject to
any offset, defense, credit, allowance or adjustment, nor, to the actual or
constructive knowledge of Customer, after reasonable investigation, has the
Obligor disputed his, her, their or its liability under the Contract, including,
but not limited to, any threatened or actual assertion of any so-called "right
of rescission" or other expression of "buyer remorse", However, Customer makes
no representations or warranties regarding offsets, defenses, credits,
allowances or adjustments arising solely out of the preprinted language on any
Retail Installment Contract which complies with the provisos of sub-section (e)
immediately above and not out of any a9ts and/or failures to act by Customer

for an immediate blood relative of the Obligor) or entity, including but not
limited to any underlying Customer's Dealership or its employees or
representatives, has loaned or advanced any part of the downpayment to or on
behalf of any Obligor; j) with respect to the Financed Vehicle securing such
Receivable, Customer guarantees UUAC will be named as first priority lienholder
on the original title for such Financed Vehicle and/or on the records of the
appropriate state's governmental agency tasked with recording lienholder
interests in motor vehicles. Customer further guarantees to accomplish all of
the preceding so that UUAC's first and prior lien will be of record with such
governmental agency or department within the time-frame which is the lesser of
that provided in the such state's purchase-money-security-interest perfection

Trustee. 05-01 All Pro Modified Appendix k) the Financed Vehicle is adequately
