CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES
SECTION 2.1 Conveyance of Receivables. By execution of this
Agreement, World Omni does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise
convey, without recourse (except as expressly provided herein), to WODFI on the
Initial Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and on the applicable
Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, all of its right, title and
interest in, to and under the Receivables in each Account and all Collateral
Security with respect thereto owned by World Omni at the close of business on
the Initial Cut-Off Date (including all interest thereon accruing after October
31, 1999, whether paid or payable), in the case of the Initial Accounts, and on
the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, and
all monies due or to become due thereon and all amounts received with respect
thereto and all proceeds of all of the foregoing (including "proceeds" as
defined in Section 9-306 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Florida) and
Recoveries thereof. Subject to Article VI, prior to the earlier of (x) the
occurrence of an Early Amortization Event specified in Section 5.17(b), (c), (d)
or (e) of the Indenture and (y) the Trust Termination Date, as of each Business
Day on which Receivables are created in the Accounts (a "Transfer Date"), World
Omni does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey (except
as expressly provided herein) to WODFI, all of its right, title and interest in,
to and under the Receivables in each Account (other than any Receivables created
in any Removed Account from and after the applicable Removal Date) and all
Collateral Security with respect thereto owned by World Omni at the close of
business on such Transfer Date and not theretofore conveyed to WODFI, all monies
due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and all
proceeds of all of the foregoing (including "proceeds" as defined in Section
9-306 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Florida) and Recoveries thereof
and, with respect to any Purchased Participation Receivables, all of its rights,
remedies, powers and privileges with respect to such Receivables under the
applicable Participation Agreement. The foregoing sale, transfer,
assignment, set-over and conveyance and any subsequent sales, transfers,
assignments, set-overs and conveyances do not constitute, and are not intended
to result in, the creation or an assumption by WODFI of any obligation of the
Servicer, World Omni, or any other Person in connection with the Accounts, the
Receivables or any Participation Interest or under any agreement or instrument
relating thereto (including any Participation Agreement), including any
obligation to any Dealers.
In connection with such sales, World Omni agrees to record and
file, at its own expense, a financing statement on form UCC-1 or any other
applicable form (and continuation statements when applicable) naming World Omni
as "seller" and WODFI as "buyer" thereon with respect to the Receivables now
existing and hereafter created for the sale of chattel paper, general
intangibles or accounts (as defined in Sections 9-105 and 9-106 of the UCC as in
effect in any state where World Omni's or the Servicer's chief executive offices
or books and records relating to the Receivables are located) meeting the
requirements of applicable law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are
necessary to perfect the sale and assignment of the Receivables and the
Collateral Security to WODFI, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such
financing statements or other evidence of such filing to WODFI on or prior to
the Initial Closing Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, and (if any
additional filing is so necessary) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of
Additional Accounts. In addition, World Omni shall cause to be timely filed in
the appropriate filing office any form UCC-1 financing statement and
continuation statement necessary to perfect any sale of Receivables to WODFI.
WODFI shall be under no obligation whatsoever to file such financing statement,
or a continuation statement to such financing statement, or to make any other
filing under the UCC in connection with such sales. The parties hereto intend
that the transfers of Receivables effected by this Agreement be sales.
In connection with such sales, World Omni further agrees, at
its own expense, on or prior to the Initial Closing Date, in the case of Initial
Accounts, the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, and
the applicable Removal Date, in the case of Removed Accounts, (a) to indicate in
its computer files that the Receivables created in connection with the Accounts
(other than Removed Accounts) have been sold, and the Collateral Security
assigned, to WODFI pursuant to this Agreement and sold to the Trust pursuant to
the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders
and pledged to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture for the benefit of the
Noteholders and the other Beneficiaries and (b) to deliver to WODFI a computer
file or microfiche or written list containing a true and complete list of all
such Accounts (other than Removed Accounts) specifying for each such Account, as
of the Initial Cut-Off Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, and the applicable
Additional Cut-Off Date, in the case of Additional Accounts (i) its account
number and (ii) the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in such Account.
Such file or list, as supplemented from time to time to reflect Additional
Accounts and Removed Accounts, shall be marked as Schedule 1 to this Agreement
and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. In addition,
in connection with such sales, World Omni shall deliver to WODFI all documents
constituting "instruments" (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the applicable
jurisdiction) with such endorsements attached as WODFI may reasonably require.
In consideration for the sale of $758,759,633.60 of Principal
Receivables, together with the Collateral Security and interest thereon,
transferred to WODFI on the Initial Closing Date,
2
WODFI shall pay to World Omni $596,700,000 in cash. The remaining
$162,059,633.60 of Principal Receivables, together with the Collateral Security
and interest thereon, transferred to WODFI on the Initial Closing Date is a
capital contribution to WODFI. The purchase price for the Receivables sold by
World Omni to WODFI on each Addition Date and on each Transfer Date thereafter
shall be a price agreed to by WODFI and World Omni at the time of acquisition by
WODFI, which price shall not, in the opinion of WODFI, be materially less
favorable to WODFI than prices for transactions of a generally similar character
at the time of the acquisition taking into account the quality of such
Receivables and other pertinent factors; provided that such consideration shall
in any event not be less than reasonably equivalent value therefor. If and to
the extent that WODFI shall not have funds available to pay World Omni the
purchase price for the Receivables transferred, an amount equal to the purchase
price for such Receivables shall be deemed to be a capital contribution from
World Omni to WODFI.
SECTION 2.2 Representations and Warranties of World Omni
Relating to World Omni and this Agreement. World Omni hereby represents and
warrants to WODFI as of each Closing Date that:
(a) Organization and Good Standing. World Omni is a
corporation duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the
law of the State of Florida and has, in all material respects, full corporate
power, authority and legal right to own its properties and conduct its business
as such properties are presently owned and such business is presently conducted,
and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Due Qualification. World Omni is duly qualified to do
business and, where necessary, is in good standing as a foreign corporation (or
is exempt from such requirement) and has obtained all necessary licenses and
approvals in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business requires
such qualification except where the failure to so qualify or obtain licenses or
approvals would not have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its
obligations hereunder.
(c) Due Authorization. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions provided for or contemplated
in this Agreement have been duly authorized by World Omni by all necessary
corporate action on the part of World Omni.
(d) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the performance of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the
fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof, will not conflict with, result in
any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with

indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument to
which World Omni is a party or by which it or its properties are bound.
(e) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof applicable to World Omni,
will not conflict with or violate any material Requirements of Law applicable to
World Omni.
3

investigations, pending or threatened against World Omni, before any
Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii)

governmental body or official required in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the performance of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, and the fulfillment of the terms hereof or thereof, have been
obtained.
(h) Enforceability. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid
and binding obligation of World Omni enforceable against World Omni in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
in general and except as such enforceability may be limited by general
principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity).
(i) Record of Accounts. As of the Initial Closing Date, in the
case of Initial Accounts, as of the applicable Addition Date, in the case of the
Additional Accounts, and, as of the applicable Removal Date, in the case of

4
The representations and warranties set forth in this Section
2.2 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to WODFI. Upon

representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other party.
In the event a breach of any of the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.2 results in the obligation of WODFI to
redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Trust Sale and Servicing
Agreement and Section 10.1 of the Indenture, World Omni shall repurchase the
Receivables and the Collateral Security and pay to WODFI on the Business Day
preceding the date on which such redemption of Notes is to be made an amount of
cash equal to the amount WODFI is required to deposit into the applicable
Principal Funding Account pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement. The obligation of World Omni to purchase the retransferred
Receivables pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall constitute the sole remedy
against World Omni respecting an event of the type specified in the first
sentence of this paragraph available to WODFI, the Trust and to the Noteholders
(or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders.)
SECTION 2.3 Representations and Warranties of World Omni
Relating to the Receivables.
(a) Representations and Warranties. World Omni hereby
represents and warrants to WODFI that:
(i) Each Receivable and all Collateral Security existing on
the Initial Closing Date or, in the case of Additional Account, on the
applicable Addition Date, and on each Transfer Date, has been conveyed
to WODFI free and clear of any Lien (other than the Lien held by World
Omni subject to Article VII hereof).
(ii) With respect to each Receivable and all Collateral
Security existing on the Initial Closing Date or, in the case of
Additional Accounts, on the applicable Addition Date, and on each
Transfer Date, all consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of

required to be obtained, effected or given by World Omni in connection
with the conveyance of such Receivable or Collateral Security to WODFI
have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force and
effect.

if such
5
Receivable is not an Eligible Receivable, such Receivable is conveyed
to WODFI in accordance with Section 2.8.
(v) Each Participation Agreement, if any, relating to
Receivables conveyed by World Omni permits the transfer of such
Receivables to WODFI and the Trust and provides that the undivided
interest of such participant is pari passu in all respects (other than
non- subordinated interest strips and fees that are payable to such
participant) with the remaining undivided interest in the related

of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.3, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other party.

under Section 2.3(a) is not true and correct as of the date specified therein
with respect to any Receivable or Account and WODFI in connection therewith, is
required to purchase such Receivable or all Receivables in such Account pursuant
to Section 2.4(c) of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, then within 30 days

transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to World Omni, without recourse,
representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of WODFI in and to
such Receivable, all Collateral Security and all monies due or to become due
with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. WODFI shall execute such
documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions
as shall reasonably be requested by World Omni to effect the conveyance of such
Receivables pursuant to this Section. The obligation of World Omni to repurchase
any such Receivable shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the event giving
rise to such obligation available to WODFI, the Trust and to the Securityholders
(or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders or the Indenture
Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders).

inapplicable to Accounts designated by WODFI as Automatic Additional Accounts
under Section 2.5(b) of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided

Omni with respect to the Receivables in the Additional Accounts
substantially in the form of Exhibit C.

the same time periods as the Transferor is required to deliver under Section
2.5(b) of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(c) World Omni hereby represents and warrants as of the
applicable Addition Date as to the matters set forth in Section 2.4(b)(v) and
(vii). The representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.4(b)(v) shall
survive the sale and assignment of the respective Receivables and the related
Collateral Security to WODFI. Upon discovery by World Omni or WODFI of a breach
of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering
the breach shall give prompt written notice to the other party and to any

to the terms of any Participation Agreements, World Omni will not sell, pledge,
assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Lien on, any Receivable or any Collateral Security, whether
now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein other than a Note or
Certificate (other than the Lien held by World Omni subject to Article VII
hereof) and World Omni shall defend the right, title and interest of WODFI and
the Trust in, to and under the Receivables and the Collateral Security, whether
now existing or hereafter created, against all claims of third parties claiming
through or under World Omni.
(b) Floorplan Financing Agreements, Asset Based Lending
Financing Agreements and Guidelines. World Omni shall comply with and perform
its servicing obligations with respect to the Accounts and Receivables in
accordance with the applicable Floorplan Financing Agreements or Asset Based
Lending Financing Agreements relating to the Accounts and the applicable
Floorplan Financing Guidelines, except insofar as any failure to so comply or
perform would not materially and adversely affect the rights of WODFI, the Trust
the Certificateholders, the Noteholders or any Enhancement Providers. Subject to
compliance with all Requirements of Law, World Omni, in its capacity of
Servicer, may change the terms and provisions of the Floorplan Financing
Agreement, the Asset Based Lending Financing Agreements or the Floorplan
Financing Guidelines in any
8
respect (including the calculation of the amount or the timing of charge-offs
and the rate of the finance charge assessed thereon) only if such change would
be permitted pursuant to Section 3.1(d) of the Trust Sale and Servicing
Agreement.
(c) Account Allocations. In the event that World Omni is
unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to WODFI, then World Omni agrees
that it shall allocate, after the occurrence of such event, payments on each
Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account first to the
oldest principal balance of such Account and to have such payments applied as
Collections in accordance with the terms of the Trust Sale and Servicing
Agreement. The parties hereto agree that Non-Principal Receivables, whenever
created, accrued in respect of Principal Receivables which have been conveyed to
WODFI and by WODFI to the Trust shall continue to be a part of the Trust
notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer of additional Principal
Receivables to WODFI and Collections with respect thereto shall continue to be
allocated and paid in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Indenture.
(d) Delivery of Collections. In the event that World Omni
receives Collections, World Omni agrees to pay the Servicer or any Successor
Servicer all payments received by World Omni in respect of the Receivables as
soon as practicable after receipt thereof by World Omni, but in no event later
than two Business Days after the receipt by World Omni thereof.
(e) Notice of Liens. World Omni shall notify in writing WODFI,
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee promptly after becoming aware of any
Lien on any Receivable other than the conveyances hereunder or under the Trust
Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture or any Participation Agreement.

all material respects with all Requirements of Law applicable to World Omni.
SECTION 2.6 Removal of Eligible Accounts.
(a) On each Determination Date on which Accounts, including
all amounts then held by the Trust or thereafter received by the Trust with
respect to such Accounts, are removed from the Trust pursuant to Section 2.7 of
the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, WODFI shall be deemed to have offered to
World Omni automatically and without notice to or action by or on behalf of
WODFI, the right to remove Eligible Accounts from the operation of this
Agreement in the manner prescribed in Section 2.6(b).
(b) To accept such offer and remove Accounts, including all
amounts then held by the Trust or thereafter received by the Trust with respect
to such Accounts, World Omni (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall take the
following actions and make the following determinations:
(i) not less than five Business Days prior to the Removal
Commencement Date, furnish to WODFI, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, any Enhancement Providers and the Rating Agencies a written
notice (the "Removal Notice") specifying the
9
Determination Date (which may be the Determination Date on which such
notice is given) on which removal of the Receivables of one or more
Accounts (the "Designated Accounts") will commence (a "Removal
Commencement Date");
(ii) determine on the Removal Commencement Date the
aggregate principal balance of Receivables in respect of each
Designated Account (the "Designated Balance");
(iii) from and after such Removal Commencement Date, cease to
transfer to WODFI any and all Receivables arising in such Designated
Accounts;
(iv) from and after the Removal Commencement Date, allocate
all Principal Collections in respect of each Designated Account, first
to the oldest outstanding principal balance of the Designated Account,
until the Determination Date on which the Designated Balance in the
Designated Account is reduced to zero (the "Removal Date");
(v) on each business day from and after the Removal
Commencement Date to and until the related Removal Date, allocate (A)
to the Trust (to be further allocated pursuant to the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement), Non-Principal Collections in respect of each
Designated Account for Receivables in all Designated Accounts
transferred to the Trust and (B) to the Transferor the remainder of the
Non-Principal Collections in the Designated Accounts;
(vi) represent and warrant that the removal of any Eligible
Account on any Removal Date shall not, in the reasonable belief of
World Omni, cause an Early Amortization Event or Investment Event to
occur or cause the Pool Balance to be less than the Required Pool
Balance;
(vii) represent and warrant that no selection procedures
believed by World Omni to be adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders, the Noteholders or any Enhancement Providers were
utilized in selecting the Accounts to be removed;
(viii) represent and warrant that such removal will not result
in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Series or
class of Notes by any applicable Rating Agency; and
(ix) on or before the related Removal Date, deliver to the
Indenture Trustee and any Enhancement Provider an Officer's Certificate
confirming the items set forth in clauses (vi), (vii) and (viii) above.
(c) Subject to Section 2.6(b), and upon the satisfaction of
the conditions therein, on the Removal Date with respect to any such Designated
Accounts, such Designated Accounts shall be deemed removed by operation of this
Agreement for all purposes (a "Removed Account"). After the Removal Date and
upon the written request of the Servicer, WODFI shall deliver to World Omni a
reassignment in substantially the form of Exhibit D (the "Reassignment").

ARTICLE VI
TERMINATION
This Agreement will terminate immediately after the Trust
terminates pursuant to the Trust Agreement. In addition, WODFI shall not
purchase Receivables nor shall World Omni designate Additional Accounts if World
Omni shall become an involuntary party to (or be made the subject of) any
proceeding provided for by any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to World Omni or
relating to all or substantially all of its property (an "Involuntary Case") and
such Involuntary Case shall have continued for a period of twenty Business Days
from and including the day of receipt by World Omni at its principal corporate
office of notice of such Involuntary Case; provided that during such twenty
Business Day period, WODFI shall suspend its purchase of Receivables and shall
hold all Collections of Principal Receivables that would have been available to
purchase Receivables in the Collection Account and (a) if by the first Business
Day after such twenty Business Day period, neither World Omni nor WODFI has
obtained an order from the court having jurisdiction of such case or filing
which order approves the continuation of the sale of Receivables by World Omni
to WODFI and which provides that WODFI and any of its transferees (including the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee) may conclusively rely on such order for
the validity and nonavoidance of such transfer (the "Order"), WODFI shall hold
such Collections in the Collection Account until such time as they may be paid
as elsewhere provided herein and shall not purchase Receivables thereafter, or
(b) if by such first Business Day, World Omni or WODFI has obtained such Order
and World Omni or WODFI shall have delivered to the Rating Agencies an Opinion
of Counsel with respect to continued sales in form and substance satisfactory to
each Rating Agency, World Omni may continue selling Receivables, and WODFI may
continue purchasing Receivables, pursuant to the terms hereof, as modified by
the immediately succeeding sentence. During the period after the twenty Business
Day period described above and before the end of the 60-day period described
below, the purchase price of the Receivables transferred during such period,
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shall be paid to
World Omni by WODFI in cash not later than the same Business Day of any sale of
Receivables. During such period, Receivables will be considered transferred to
WODFI only to the extent that the purchase price therefor has been paid in cash
on the same Business Day. If an Order is obtained but subsequently is reversed
or rescinded or expires, World Omni shall immediately cease selling Receivables
to WODFI, and WODFI shall immediately cease buying Receivables. World Omni shall
give prompt written notice to each of WODFI, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee immediately upon becoming a party to an Involuntary Case. If by the
first Business Day after the 60-day period after such involuntary filing, such
Involuntary Case has not been dismissed, WODFI shall not purchase thereafter
Receivables or designated Additional Accounts for transfer to the Issuer.
ARTICLE VII
INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS
With respect to a Dealer which is the obligor under
Receivables that have been or will be sold to WODFI hereunder, World Omni may be
or become a lender to such Dealer under an agreement or arrangement (a
"Nonfloorplan Agreement") other than a Floorplan Financing
13
Agreement, Asset Based Lending Financing Agreement or Purchased Participation
Receivable Financing Agreement pursuant to which World Omni has been granted a
security interest in the same collateral (the "Common Collateral") in which the
Floorplan Financing Agreement or Asset Based Lending Financing Agreement for
such Dealer creates a security interest, which Common Collateral may include the
same Vehicle (the "Common Vehicle Collateral") in which such Floorplan Financing
Agreement or Asset Based Lending Financing Agreement creates a security
interest. The Common Collateral other than the related Common Vehicle Collateral
is referred to herein as the "Common Non-Vehicle Collateral." World Omni agrees
that with respect to each Receivable of each such Dealer (i) the security
interest in such Common Vehicle Collateral granted to World Omni pursuant to any
Nonfloorplan Agreement is junior and subordinate to the security interest
created by the related Floorplan Financing Agreement or Asset Based Lending
Financing Agreement, (ii) World Omni has no legal right to realize upon such
Common Vehicle Collateral or exercise its rights under the Nonfloorplan
Agreement in any manner that is materially adverse to WODFI, the Trust, the
Certificateholders or the Noteholders in respect of the Common Vehicle
Collateral until all required payments in respect of such Receivable under the
Floorplan Financing Agreement or Asset Based Lending Financing Agreement have
been paid, and (iii) in realizing upon such Common Vehicle Collateral, neither
WODFI nor the Trust shall have any obligation to protect or preserve the rights
of World Omni in such Common Vehicle Collateral. WODFI agrees that with respect
to each Receivable of each such Dealer (a) the security interest in such Common
Non-Vehicle Collateral created by the Floorplan Financing Agreement or the Asset
Based Lending Financing Agreement and hereby assigned to WODFI is junior and
subordinate to the security interest therein created by the Nonfloorplan
Agreement, (b) WODFI has no legal right to realize upon such Common Non- Vehicle
Collateral or exercise its rights under the Floorplan Financing Agreement or the
Asset Based Lending Financing Agreement in any manner that is materially adverse
to World Omni until all required payments in respect of the obligation created
or secured by the Nonfloorplan Agreement have been made, and (c) in realizing on
such Common Non-Vehicle Collateral, World Omni shall not be obligated to protect
or preserve the rights of WODFI or the Trust in such Common Non- Vehicle
Collateral. The Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture shall
provide that the Trust and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders is
subject to the preceding sentence. If World Omni in any manner assigns or
transfers any rights under, or any obligation evidenced or secured by, a
Nonfloorplan Agreement, World Omni shall make such assignment or transfer
subject to the provisions of this Article VII and shall require such assignee or
transferee to acknowledge that it takes such assignment or transfer subject to
the provisions of this Article VII and to agree that it will require the same
acknowledgment from any subsequent assignee or transferee.
ARTICLE VIII

name, identity or corporate structure which would make any financing statement
or continuation statement filed in accordance with Section 8.2(a) seriously
misleading within the meaning of Section 9-402(7) of the UCC as in effect in the
State of Florida (or, if applicable, the corresponding Section of the UCC as may

perfection of WODFI's security interest in the Receivables and the proceeds
thereof.
(c) World Omni will give WODFI prompt written notice of any
relocation of any office at which it keeps records concerning the Receivables or
of its principal executive office and whether, as a result of such relocation,
the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment
of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new
financing statement and shall file such financing statements or amendments as

interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. World Omni will at all

contrary contained herein, the obligations of WODFI hereunder shall not be
recourse to WODFI (or any person or organization acting on behalf of WODFI or
any affiliate, officer or director of WODFI), other than to any assets of WODFI
not pledged to third parties or otherwise encumbered in a manner permitted by
WODFI's Limited Liability Company Agreement; provided, however, that any payment
by WODFI made in accordance with this Section 8.3 shall be made only after
payment in full of any amounts that World Omni is obligated to deposit in the
Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement; provided further that the
Noteholders shall be entitled to the benefits of the subordination of the
Collections allocable to the Certificates to the extent provided in the Series
Supplement.

and agrees that it will not at any time institute against WODFI any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other
proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall for any
reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions
or terms shall be deemed enforceable to the fullest extent permitted, and if not
so permitted, shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants,
agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the
validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the
Notes or rights of the Noteholders.
SECTION 8.8 Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, this Agreement may not be assigned by World Omni
without the prior consent of WODFI and the Trust. WODFI may assign its rights,
remedies, powers and privileges under this Agreement to the Trust pursuant to
the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement which may be assigned to the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
16
SECTION 8.9 Further Assurances. World Omni agrees to do and
perform, from time to time, any and all acts and to execute any and all further
instruments required or reasonably requested by WODFI more fully to effect the
purposes of this Agreement, including the execution of any financing statements

Schedule 1

List of Accounts
Schedule 2
----------
List of Proceedings
As part of its regular examination process of the consolidated federal
income tax returns of JM Family Enterprises and its subsidiaries (including
World Omni) for certain prior years, the IRS is reviewing, among other things,
transactions that were consummated in prior years relating to retail lease
contracts. The IRS has proposed treating these lease transactions as sales
rather than financings for federal income tax purposes, which would affect World
Omni's depreciation deductions. It has also proposed treating the origination
trust and each securitization trust created for those transactions as an
association taxable as a corporation rather than a trust for federal income tax
purposes. In connection with each transaction, World Omni received an opinion of
tax counsel to the effect that these transactions were properly treated as
financings for federal income tax purposes and that neither the origination
trust nor the relevant securitization trusts would be treated as an association
taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. While management
believes that a challenge by the IRS would be unsuccessful, we cannot assure you
of this result. The IRS has also proposed changes to other positions that were
taken on the tax returns it is examining.
Management is vigorously defending its positions and believes that the
ultimate resolution of all of the issues will not have a material adverse effect
on securityholders, JM Family Enterprises' or World Omni's operations and
financial condition. However, if the IRS were to prevail on certain of these
issues, it could have a material adverse effect on JM Family Enterprises' or
World Omni's operations and financial condition. Nevertheless, management
believes that, even if the IRS were to prevail on all of these issues it would
not result in any material impairment of World Omni's ability to perform its
obligations and its duties as Servicer under the Trust Sale and Servicing
Agreement. Management cannot, however, assure you of this result.
EXHIBIT A
TO RPA
FORM OF ASSIGNMENT OF RECEIVABLES IN ADDITIONAL
ACCOUNTS (As required by Section 2.4(b)(iii) of the
Receivables Purchase Agreement)
ASSIGNMENT No. ___ OF RECEIVABLES IN ADDITIONAL ACCOUNTS dated as of
___________, among WODFI LLC ("WODFI"), as buyer, and WORLD OMNI FINANCIAL CORP.
("World Omni"), as seller, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement
referred to below.
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, World Omni and WODFI are parties to an Amended and Restated
Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of ___________, 2000 (as amended or
supplemented, the "Receivables Purchase Agreement"):
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, World Omni
wishes to designate Additional Accounts to be included as Accounts and to convey
the Receivables and Collateral Security of such Additional Accounts, whether now
existing or hereafter created, to WODFI as part of the corpus of the Trust (as
each such term is defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement); and
WHEREAS WODFI is willing to accept such designation and conveyance
subject to the terms and conditions hereof;
NOW, THEREFORE, World Omni and WODFI hereby agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in Appendix A of the Trust Sale and Servicing
Agreement (as amended or Supplemented, the "Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement")
unless otherwise defined herein. "Addition Date" shall mean, with respect to the

3. Conveyance of Receivables.
a. World Omni does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey, without recourse (except as expressly provided in the
Receivables Purchase Agreement), to WODFI, on the Addition Date all of its
right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables in such Additional
Accounts and all Collateral Security with respect thereto, owned by World Omni
and existing at the close of business on the Additional Cut-Off Date and
thereafter created from time to time, all monies due or to become due and all
amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds (including "proceeds" as
defined in Section 9-306 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Florida) and
Recoveries thereof. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over and
conveyance does not constitute and is not intended to result in the creation or
an assumption by WODFI of any obligation of the Servicer, World Omni or any
other Person in connection with the Accounts, the Receivables or any
Participation Interest or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto
(including any Participation Agreement), including any obligation to any
Dealers.
b. In connection with such sale, World Omni agrees to record
and file, at its own expense, a financing statement on form UCC-1 (and
continuation statements when applicable) with respect to the Receivables now
existing and hereafter created for the sale of chattel paper, general
intangibles or accounts (as defined in Sections 9-105 and 9-106 of the UCC as in
effect in any state where World Omni's or the Servicer's chief executive offices
or books and records relating to the Receivables are located) meeting the
requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as
are necessary to perfect the sale and assignment of the Receivables and the
Collateral Security to WODFI, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such
financing statements or other evidence of such filing to WODFI on or prior to
the Addition Date. In addition, World Omni shall cause to be timely filed in the
appropriate filing office any form UCC-1 financing statement and continuation
statement necessary to perfect any sale of Receivables to World Omni. WODFI
shall be under no obligation whatsoever to file such financing statement, or a
continuation statement to such financing statement, or to make any other filing
under the UCC in connection with such sale. The parties hereto intend that the
sales of Receivables effected by this Agreement be sales.
c. In connection with such sale, World Omni further agrees, at
its own expense, on or prior to the Addition Date, to indicate in its computer
files that the Receivables created in connection with the Additional Accounts
designated hereby have been sold and the Collateral Security assigned to WODFI
pursuant to this Assignment and sold to the Trust pursuant to the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Certificateholders
and any Enhancement Providers. In addition, in connection with such sales, World
Omni shall deliver within 10 days after the Addition Date to WODFI all documents
constituting "instruments" (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the applicable
jurisdiction) with such endorsements attached as WODFI may reasonably require.

Omni is a party or by which it or its properties are bound;

made a part of this Reassignment as of the Removal Date and shall amend Schedule
