a condition precedent to such release the Debtor shall deposit into the
Collection Account an amount equal to the amount which, if applied to the
reduction of the Net Investment, would cause the Net Asset Test to be satisfied.
Such amount shall be applied as a Receipt of Principal pursuant to Section 2.3.

all right, title and interest in and to all funds deposited from time to time in
the Reserve Account. The Collateral Agent will maintain the Reserve Account at

right to direct the transfer of the Reserve Account to an Eligible Institution.
On each Funding Date and each Prefunding Date, the Debtor shall deposit (or

funds available in the Reserve Account.

(4) No Eligible Investment in the Reserve Account may be
liquidated or disposed of prior to its maturity. All proceeds of any such
Eligible Investment shall be deposited in the Reserve Account. Investments may
be made in the Reserve Account on any date (provided such investments mature in

from such account on such date. Realized losses, if any, on amounts invested in
such Eligible Investments shall be charged against investment earnings on
amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account, as applicable.

provide instructions relating to investments in Eligible Investments in the
Reserve Account.
(6) Eligible Investments shall be maintained by the Collateral
Agent in such manner as may be necessary to maintain the first priority
perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the
Secured Parties. Bank of America agrees (and any other Securities Intermediary

with Entitlement Orders (as defined in Section 8-102 of the 1994 version of the
Official Text of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code) with respect to the
Reserve Account given to it by any Person other than the Collateral Agent.
(b) Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be invested
by the Collateral Agent in Eligible Investments with maturities such that all
funds on deposit in the Reserve Account will be available on the next succeeding
Remittance Date following such investment. The Collateral Agent shall maintain
possession of the negotiable instruments or securities, if any, evidencing the
Eligible Investments from the time of purchase thereof until the time of sale or

Such investments shall be held in the name of the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties.
(c) (i) In the event that Available Funds with respect to any
Remittance Date and any withdrawals from the Yield Supplement Account are
insufficient to provide for the payment of the amounts described in Sections
2.3(a)(ii), (iv) and (v), the Collateral Agent shall make a withdrawal from the
Reserve Account in the amount of such deficiency and the proceeds from such
withdrawal shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to the required
distributions and payments. Funds may also be released from the Reserve Account
each month in accordance with Section 2.3(c). To the extent that amounts
available in the Reserve Account are insufficient to cover such costs and the
Debtor fails to make a deposit to the Reserve Account in the amount of such
shortfall, the Agent shall make a demand for payment under the Policy in
accordance with its terms.
(ii) In the event that on any Remittance Date or day on which
a Take-Out occurs after giving effect to clause (c)(i) above, the amount on

obligations hereunder as documented to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Collateral Agent, the Agent and the Insurer. The Collection Agent, if other than

the terms of this Agreement.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Collateral Agent

and the Secured Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may
resign if, after demand therefor, it does not receive payment of any
compensation due from the Debtor pursuant to the letter agreement described in
Section 8.2. No resignation of the Collateral Agent shall become effective until
a successor Collateral Agent approved by the Agent and the Insurer and the
successor Collateral Agent shall have assumed the responsibilities and
obligations of the Collateral Agent hereunder.
74
SECTION 8.2 Compensation and Indemnification of Collateral
Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be compensated for its activities hereunder

Investments, as specified by the Debtor and (ii) the compensation and expenses
of its counsel and agents) pursuant to a separate letter agreement between the
Collateral Agent and the Debtor. All such amounts shall be payable from funds
available therefor in accordance with Section 2.3(a)(iii) hereof with any
increase in such amounts to be approved by the Insurer. Subject to the terms of
such letter agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be required to pay the
expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder from its own
account. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, the Collat eral
Agent shall not be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Debtor

income (or any interest or penalties with respect thereto or from a failure to
comply therewith).
(a) The Debtor shall indemnify the Collateral Agent,
its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold it harmless against
any loss, liability or expense incurred without willful misconduct, gross
negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with (i)
the acceptance or administra tion of this Agreement, including the costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement
and (ii) the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Debtor in the
performance of its duties hereunder. All such amounts shall be payable in
accordance with Section 2.3(a)(iii) hereof. The provisions of this Section 8.2
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.3 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent agrees to make the following
representations, warranties and covenants, and further agrees that the Secured
Parties shall be deemed to have relied upon such representations, warranties and
covenants in accepting their interest in the Receivables.
(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Collateral
Agent is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the United States of America, and has full

properties are presently owned and such business is presently conducted, and to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery, and
performance of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which the
Collateral Agent is a party have been duly authorized by the Collateral Agent by
all necessary corporate action on the part of the Collateral Agent.
(c) Binding Obligation. This Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party each constitutes
a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Collateral Agent, enforceable in
accordance with its respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by

laws now or hereinafter 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 proceeding at law or in equity).
(d) No Conflict. The execution and delivery by the
Collateral Agent of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which
the Collateral Agent is a party, and the performance of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the
fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof applicable to the Collateral Agent,
will not conflict with, violate, result in any breach of any of the terms and
provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a
default under, any Requirement of Law applicable to the Collateral Agent or any
indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to
which the Collateral Agent is a party or by which it is bound.
SECTION 8.4 Liability of the Collateral Agent.
(a) The Collateral Agent shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
undertaken by the Collat eral Agent in such capacity herein. No implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Collateral Agent and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Collateral
Agent, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certifi xxxxx or opinions
furnished to the Collateral Agent and conforming to the require ments of this
Agreement.
76
(b) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for an
error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it shall be
proved that the Collateral Agent shall have been negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts.
(c) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with
respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith in
accordance with this Agreement or at the direction of a Secured Party relating
to the exercise of any power conferred upon the Collateral Agent under this

knowledge of any Termination Event unless a Trust Officer assigned to the Collat
eral Agent's Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such event or
the Collateral Agent receives written notice of such event from the Debtor, the
Seller, the Company, any Bank Investor, the Insurer or the Agent, as the case
may be.
(e) Without limiting the generality of this Section
8.4, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing
or depositing of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any
financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest in
the Receivables or the Financed Vehicles, or to see to the maintenance of any
such recording or filing or depositing or to any recording, refiling or
redepositing of any thereof, (ii) to see to any insurance of the Financed
Vehicles or Obligors or to effect or maintain any such insurance, (iii) to see
to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge
or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied
against, any part of the Receivables, (iv) to confirm or verify the contents of

inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the Debtor's, the Seller's

Collection Agent's duties and obligations as Collection Agent and as custodian
of books, records, files and com puter records relating to the Receivables.
(f) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
shall not be reasonably assured to it, and none
77
of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the
Collat eral Agent to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance
of, any of the obligations of the Collection Agent under this Agreement.
(g) The Collateral Agent may rely and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, officer's
certificate, any Settlement Statement, certificate of auditors, or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
(h) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel and
any opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it under
this Agreement in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel.
(i) The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation
to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to

Collateral Agent reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses
and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained in
this Agreement, however, shall relieve the Collateral Agent of its obligations,
upon the occurrence of a Termination Event (that shall not have been cured or
waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
his or her own affairs.
(j) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by

Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or
document, unless requested in writing so to
78
do by a Secured Party; provided, however, that if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Collateral Agent of the costs, expenses or liabilities
likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation shall be, in the
opinion of the Collateral Agent, not reasonably assured by the Debtor, the
Collateral Agent may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or
liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such
examination shall be paid by the Debtor or, if paid by the Collateral Agent,
shall be reimbursed by the Debtor upon demand.
(l) The Collateral Agent may execute any of the

Person hereunder or pursuant to any document delivered hereunder, it being
expressly understood that all such liability is expressly waived and released as
a condition of, and as consider ation for, the execution of this Agreement;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the directors,
officers, employees and agents of the Collateral Agent against any liability
which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfea sance, bad faith or
gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard
of obligations and duties hereunder. Except as provided in Section 8.4, the
Collateral Agent shall not be under any liability to any Secured Party or any
other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement whether
arising from express or implied duties under this Agreement; provided, however,
that this provision shall not protect the Collateral Agent against any liability
which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard
of obligations and duties hereunder. The Collateral Agent may rely in good faith
on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any
Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not

involve it in any expense or liability.

Collateral Agent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and the Secured
Parties from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered
or sustained by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in
the performance of the duties of the Collateral Agent or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder or by
reason of the acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions of the Collateral
Agent pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this indemnity shall run
directly to and be enforceable by an injured party subject to the limitations
hereof.

Integration.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Each of the Debtor, the
Seller, UAC and the Collection Agent hereby submits to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York and of any New
84
York State court sitting in The City of New York for purposes of all legal
proceed ings arising out of or relating to this agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby. Each of the Debtor, UAC and the Collection Agent hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any
such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding
