(a) Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event and at the written request of the Insurer and with the reasonable cooperation of the Servicer, the Backup Servicer will convert the existing Receivables to the Backup Servicer's systems and commence servicing of the Receivables.

It is intended that no later than the Servicing Transfer Date, the Controlling Party and LSE (along with such other parties as are necessary to effectuate such agreement) shall enter into a mutually satisfactory servicing agreement under which LSE will service the existing Receivables; provided however, that if by the Maximum Transfer Date such parties shall not have entered into such an agreement, then from the Maximum Transfer Date until such date as such an agreement is entered into, the Backup Servicer shall service the Loans substantially in accordance with the terms and conditions with respect to LSE as successor servicer and to those methods described in the Assumption Agreement, dated as of March 1, 1999, by and among LSE, OHA Auto Receivables, Inc.

SECTION 3.02 Indemnity to Backup Servicer. The Backup Servicer will be indemnified from and against all claims, damages, losses or expenses reasonably incurred by the Backup Servicer (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), arising out of claims asserted against the Backup Servicer by third parties arising out of or based upon any matter related to or arising out of this Agreement to the extent the act or omission giving rise to the claim occurs before the Servicing Transfer Date, except for any claims, damages, losses or expenses arising from the Backup Servicer's own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. All amounts due to the Backup Servicer as indemnification 9 10 pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be payable (i) first, by the Servicer; and (ii) second, from the Spread Account Amounts.

SECTION 3.05 Limitation of Liability. In conjunction with the conversion, LSE is authorized to accept and rely (except to the extent that management personnel of the Backup Servicer have actual knowledge of the inaccuracy thereof) on all the accounting, records and work of the Servicer, and LSE shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation, or liability (collectively, "Liability") for the acts or omissions of Servicer. SECTION 3.06 Continued Errors. Except as provided in this Agreement, LSE may accept and reasonably rely on all accounting, records and work of the Servicer without audit, and LSE shall have no Liability for the acts or omissions of the Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy or omission (collectively, "Errors") exists in any information received from the Servicer, and such Errors should cause or materially contribute to LSE making or continuing any Errors (collectively, "Continued Errors"), LSE shall have no Liability for such Continued Errors; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect LSE against any Liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in discovering or correcting any Error or in the performance of its or their duties hereunder or under this Agreement. In the event LSE becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, LSE shall, with the prior consent of the Insurer, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and prevent future Continued Errors. LSE shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended from the Servicer. SECTION 3.07 Cooperation of the Trustee, the Insurer and the Servicer. In the event of a servicing transfer pursuant to a Servicing Transfer Notification, the Servicer agrees to assist LSE in a reasonable manner with the transfer of servicing, and the Insurer 10 11 agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Servicer's assistance and cooperation to the extent possible and consistent with the Insurer's other agreements with the Servicer. Except as may be otherwise provided, it is expressly agreed and understood that LSE is not responsible for any vendor payments owed by the Servicer which LSE reasonably believes beneficial to the completion of the systems conversion and portfolio transfer, except that LSE shall inform the Insurer of any such vendor payments.
