SECTION 3.5

Instructions; Authority To Act. The Servicer shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by a Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 3.6

SECTION 3.7

Effective Period and Termination. The 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 Section 3.7. If Franklin Capital shall resign as Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of any Servicer shall have been terminated under Section 8.1, the appointment of such Servicer as custodian shall be terminated, in the same manner as the Servicer may be terminated under Section 8.1. As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer shall deliver the Receivable Files to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s agent at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably designate in writing.

The representations set forth in this Section 3.8 may not be waived.

(a)

This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor.

(b)

The Depositor has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest against Franklin Capital and Franklin SPE in the Receivables.

The Depositor has caused or will have caused, within ten days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Issuer hereunder.

(f)

Other than the security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Depositor that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Issuer hereunder or that has been terminated.

ARTICLE IV

Administration and Servicing of Receivables

SECTION 4.1

Duties of Servicer. The Servicer, as agent for the Issuer, shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables) with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable automotive receivables that it services for itself or others, except that the Servicer shall not be obligated, and does not currently intend, to (i) pay any premium of force-placed insurance concerning any Financed Vehicle or (ii) monitor any Obligor’s maintenance of such insurance. The Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment statements or coupon books to Obligors, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(b), the Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures in performing its duties as Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Collateral Agent, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such Receivables or to the Financed Vehicles securing such Receivables. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Issuer (in the case of a Receivable other than a Purchased Receivable) shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection, such Receivable to the Servicer. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable the Owner Trustee shall, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders. The Owner Trustee shall upon the written request of the Servicer furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate (as certified to the Owner Trustee by the Servicer) to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

SECTION 4.2

Collection and Allocation of Receivable Payments. (a) The 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 shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable automotive receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer shall allocate collections between principal and interest in accordance with its customary servicing procedures and, in the case of Discounted Receivables, in accordance with the discounting thereof.

(b)

The Servicer may, in accordance with its customary servicing policies grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a Receivable; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not modify the original due day of any Receivable by any period in excess of 25 days, shall not reduce the amount of the scheduled payments on a Receivable (unless the related Obligor is in default on such Receivable or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is imminent), and shall not extend the final payment date of any Receivable beyond the Final Scheduled Maturity Date; provided further that if the Servicer extends the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the Final Scheduled Maturity Date or grants any other extension, rebate or adjustment on a Receivable contrary to the limitations set forth in this Section 4.2, it shall promptly repurchase such Receivable from the Trust in accordance with Section 4.7. The Servicer may in its discretion waive any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable. The Servicer shall not, except as provided in clause (c) below, voluntarily agree to any alteration of the interest rate on any Receivable. The Servicer covenants that it will not intentionally extend the final payment of a Receivable past the Final Scheduled Maturity Date with the intention of purchasing such Receivable as this Agreement would require.

(c)

The Servicer may modify the interest rate and extend the terms on a Receivable under the following circumstances:

(1)

The Servicer determines that payment in full on the Receivable is unlikely at the current interest rate of the Receivable and authorizes repossession of the related Financed Vehicle;

(2)

Based on published Manheim data, the Servicer estimates the Realized Loss that would be incurred as a result of repossession of the related Financed Vehicle exceeds $3,000;

(3)

The Receivable must have been originated at least twelve months prior to an interest rate modification;

(4)

The Obligor must have experienced a “qualifying event” of one or more of the following:

Divorce or separation;

Death in immediate family;

Job loss or reduction of income exceeding 10% of the income amount disclosed on original loan application;

Medical expenses exceeding $1,000;

Automotive repairs exceeding $1,000; or

Home repairs exceeding $1,000;

(5)

Each Obligor that satisfies the criteria set forth in this clause (c) must be offered the option (subject to the 2% cap described at the end of this clause (c) below) to apply for a loan modification;

(6)

The Servicer determines with the customer the terms of the modification. The only parameters are that the loan modification will not result in any loan maturity after the Final Scheduled Maturity Date;

(7)

The Obligor formally applies for loan modification by completing an updated application and communicating to the Servicer its desire and intent to pay. The Servicer shall obtain updated credit bureau information to determine that the Obligor meets the following loan modification criteria:

Debt to income ratio not exceeding 55%; and

Payment to Income ratio not exceeding 22%;

(8)

If the above requirements are met the Servicer must verify the following information:

Income;

Qualifying event; and

Home address and telephone number.

Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, the Servicer may modify the Receivable (provided that it may not lower the interest rate to a rate less than the sum of (1) the weighted average interest rate on the Notes, (2) the Base Servicing Fee (assumed to equal 1.25%) and (3) 1.25%). The sum total of the loan modifications (by Principal Balance of the modified Receivables as of the applicable Cutoff Date) may not exceed 2% of the Original Pool Balance.

(d)

The Servicer shall, subject to clause (b) above and in accordance with its customary procedures, offer one-month holiday extensions to all eligible Obligors. An Obligor would be eligible for a one-month holiday extension if (1) it is an Obligor with respect to a Simple Interest Receivable, (2) no extension was previously given to the Obligor during the then-current calendar year, (3) the Obligor has not been delinquent for thirty or more days on any payment due during the six months prior to October 31 of the then-current calendar year, (4) the related Receivable is less than thirty days past due as of October 31 of the then-current calendar year and (5) the date of origination of the related Receivable is no later than April 30 of the then-current calendar year. The one-month holiday extension shall (1) enable the Obligor to skip one monthly payment due and remain current on the related Receivable and (2) extend the date for final payment by the Obligor by one month.

SECTION 4.3

Realization upon Receivables. (a) On behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer shall have determined eventual payment in full is unlikely. From time to time, as appropriate for servicing or foreclosing upon any Receivable, the Owner Trustee shall, upon written request of the Servicer, execute such documents as shall be reasonably necessary to prosecute any such proceedings. The Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of automotive receivables, which may include reasonable efforts to realize proceeds from Receivables repurchased by a Dealer, pursuant to a Dealer Agreement, as a result of a breach of representation or warranty in the related Dealer Agreement or a default by an Obligor resulting in the repossession of the Financed Vehicle under such Dealer Agreement. The foregoing shall be subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its reasonable discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Net Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.

(b)

After the Servicer has directly or indirectly repossessed a Financed Vehicle, it shall attempt to maximize realization of Net Liquidation Proceeds for the Financed Vehicle. The Servicer may, in attempting to maximize Net Liquidation Proceeds, attempt to cause the Financed Vehicle to be sold at an auction run by an auction house. The Servicer shall establish in a commercially reasonable manner a minimum acceptable price at which the Financed Vehicle may be sold, provided that the Servicer may lower or raise such minimum price during the course of the auction, if lowering the minimum price will maximize Net Liquidation Proceeds. The auction house will coordinate the bidding process until such time as (1) a price that exceeds the minimum price is bid and no other bids are received, (2) the Servicer accepts a bid below the initial minimum price or (3) no bids are received that are either in excess of the initial minimum price or are otherwise accepted by the Servicer. If the Financed Vehicle is not sold at an auction, the Financed Vehicle may be presented for auction by the Servicer at a future auction and/or another auction location in efforts to maximize Net Liquidation Proceeds.

SECTION 4.4

Financed Vehicle Insurance. In the event of a loss or claim under a physical damages insurance policy or comprehensive and collision insurance policy, the Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures take all necessary action to enforce all available rights and claims under such insurance policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be obligated to, and does not (a) monitor the placement or maintenance of such insurance by Obligors or (b) pay any premium of force-placed insurance concerning any Financed Vehicle.

SECTION 4.5

Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Depositor. The Servicer is hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to reperfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Collateral Agent in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason.

SECTION 4.6

Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer shall not release the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except in the event of payment in full by the Obligor thereunder or payment in full less a deficiency which the Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with its customary procedures or in connection with repossession or except as may be required by an insurer in order to receive proceeds from insurance covering such Financed Vehicle, nor shall the Servicer impair the rights of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Collateral Agent, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders in such Receivables (it being understood that no action of the Servicer taken in compliance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to impair such rights), nor shall the Servicer extend or modify the terms of a Receivable except as provided in Section 4.2.

SECTION 4.7

Purchase of Receivables upon Breach. The Representative, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Issuer shall inform the other parties and the Indenture Trustee, promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the Servicer’s covenants pursuant to Sections 4.2(b), 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6, or of any breach of the Servicer’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 7.1(b). As of the last day of the second (or, if the Servicer so elects, the first) month following the discovery by the Servicer or receipt by the Servicer of notice from any of the Representative, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee of such breach, unless such breach is cured by such date, the Servicer shall be obligated to purchase any Receivable in which the interests of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders are materially and adversely affected by such breach as of such date. The “second month” shall mean the month following the month in which discovery occurs or notice is given, and the “first month” shall mean the month in which discovery occurs or notice is given. In consideration of the purchase of any such Receivable pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall remit the Purchase Amount in the manner specified in Section 5.5. The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders with respect to a breach pursuant to Sections 4.2(b), 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6, or to a breach of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 7.1(b), shall be limited to the purchase of Receivables in accordance with this Section 4.7. The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the purchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 4.7. A successor Servicer shall not have repurchase obligations for breaches by the predecessor servicer.

SECTION 4.8

Servicing Fee. The “Servicing Fee” for a Distribution Date shall equal the sum of the Base Servicing Fee, the Supplemental Servicing Fee, any Additional Servicing Fee, all Investment Earnings on the Collection Account (excluding Investment Earnings with respect to the two days prior to such Distribution Date), plus any reimbursement pursuant to Section 5.2(b); provided, that the Servicing Fee for a Distribution Date shall not include amounts consisting of the Base Servicing Fee that reduced a Purchase Amount with respect to a related Collection Period. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain from collections the Base Servicing Fee and the Investment Earnings as provided herein. The Servicer shall also be entitled to retain the Supplemental Servicing Fee. The Servicer, in its discretion at its election, may defer receipt of all or any portion of the Servicing Fee for any Monthly Period to and until a later Monthly Period for any reason (other than for the purpose of evading the priorities set forth in Section 5.6(a)), including in order to avoid a shortfall in any payments due on any Notes. Any such deferred amount shall be payable to (or may be retained from subsequent collections by) the Servicer on demand.

Statements to Certificateholders and Noteholders

SECTION 5.1

Establishment of Trust Accounts.

(a)

(i) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Collateral Agent an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held on behalf of the Noteholders and the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. Investment Earnings on funds in the Collection Account (excluding Investment Earnings with respect to the two days prior to such Distribution Date) shall be paid to the Servicer.

(ii)

The Servicer, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Collateral Agent an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Note Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held on behalf of the Noteholders. The Note Distribution Account shall initially be established with the Indenture Trustee.

(iii)

The Servicer, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Collateral Agent a sub-account of the Note Distribution Account (the “Principal Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders.

(b)

Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Note Distribution Account and the Spread Account (collectively, the “Trust Accounts”) and the Certificate Distribution Account shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee with respect to Trust Accounts and by the Owner Trustee with respect to the Certificate Distribution Account (or any custodian with respect to funds on deposit in any such account) in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Servicer (pursuant to standing instructions or otherwise); provided, however, it is understood and agreed that neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee shall be liable for any loss arising from such investment in Eligible Investments. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, for the benefit of the Noteholders and/or the Certificateholders, as applicable. Other than as permitted by the Rating Agencies, funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Note Distribution Account and the Certificate Distribution Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date next succeeding the date of such investment. Funds deposited in a Trust Account or the Certificate Distribution Account on the day immediately preceding a Distribution Date upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments are not required to be invested overnight.

(c)

(i)

The Indenture Collateral Agent shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (excluding all Investment Earnings on the Collection Account) and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Owner Trust Estate. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trust Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Indenture Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, as the case may be. If, at any time, any of the Trust Accounts or the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Trust Account or a new Certificate Distribution Account, as applicable, as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Trust Account or a new Certificate Distribution Account, as applicable. In connection with the foregoing, the Servicer agrees that, in the event that any of the Trust Accounts are not accounts with the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall notify a Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee in writing promptly upon any of such Trust Accounts ceasing to be an Eligible Deposit Account.

(ii)

With respect to the Trust Account Property, the Indenture Trustee, and with respect to the Certificate Distribution Account, the Issuer agrees, by its respective acceptance hereof, that:

any Trust Account Property or any property in the Certificate Distribution Account that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in Eligible Deposit Accounts subject to the penultimate sentence of Section 5.1(c)(i); and, except as otherwise provided herein, each such Eligible Deposit Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Trust Accounts and the Issuer with respect to the Certificate Distribution Account, and the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer, as applicable, shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

any Trust Account Property shall be Delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the definition of “Delivery” and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Indenture Trustee or such other Person acting solely for the Indenture Trustee as required for Delivery; and

in the event that the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as securities intermediary, has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Trust Accounts or any security entitlement credited thereto, the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as securities intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Indenture Trustee. The financial assets and other items deposited to the Trust Accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any person (except that the Indenture Trustee may set off the face amount of any checks which have been credited to the Trust Accounts but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).

(d)

The Servicer shall have the power to instruct the Indenture Trustee, in writing, to make withdrawals and payments from the Trust Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer or the Issuer to carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.

(e)

The Servicer shall on or prior to each Distribution Date transfer from the Collection Account to the Spread Account all amounts constituting a part of the Supplemental Servicing Fee not retained by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.8.

SECTION 5.2

Collections. (a) The Servicer shall remit within two Business Days of receipt thereof to the Collection Account all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors with respect to the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables) and all Net Liquidation Proceeds, both as collected during the Monthly Period less any payments owed thereon to the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as (i) Franklin Capital remains the Servicer, (ii) no Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) the Servicer’s (or if the Servicer is Franklin Capital, and the Representative has entered into an agreement, guaranty, surety or other arrangement backing Franklin Capital’s obligations acceptable to the Rating Agencies, then the Representative’s) short term obligations are rated at least “A-1” by Standard & Poor’s and “Prime-1” by Moody’s and (iv) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied (and any conditions or limitations imposed by the Rating Agencies in connection therewith are complied with), the Servicer may remit such collections with respect to the preceding calendar month to the Collection Account on the second Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date. If, however, one of the conditions in clauses (i) through (iv) of the preceding sentence is not satisfied, then the Servicer shall remit such collections with respect to the preceding calendar month to the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt thereof or, if the Servicer has already held such collections for two Business Days, it shall remit such collections to the Collection Account immediately. Pending deposit thereof into the Collection Account, the Servicer may use or invest collections at its own risk and for its own benefit and need not segregate collections from its own funds. For purposes of this Article V the phrase “payments by or on behalf of Obligors” shall mean payments made with respect to the Receivables by Persons other than the Servicer or the Depositor.

(b)

The Servicer will be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to a Monthly Period for amounts previously deposited in the Collection Account but later determined by the Servicer to have resulted from mistaken deposits or postings or checks returned for insufficient funds. The amount to be reimbursed hereunder shall be paid to the Servicer on the related Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.6(a)(i) upon certification by the Servicer of such amounts and the provision of such information to the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 5.4

Letter of Credit. (a) In the event that the Servicer’s Certificate with respect to any Determination Date shall state that a Letter of Credit Draw Amount is to be drawn on the Letter of Credit, then on the Letter of Credit Draw Amount Claim Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee, based solely on the information provided in the Servicer’s Certificate, shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Letter of Credit Provider and the Servicer, by hand delivery or facsimile transmission, a written certificate (a “Letter of Credit Demand”) in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Credit specifying the Letter of Credit Draw Amount for such Distribution Date.

(b)

In the event that a Letter of Credit Draw Amount Claim Date occurs as a result of clause (2), (3), (4) or (5) of the definition thereof then on the applicable Letter of Credit Draw Amount Claim Date, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Letter of Credit Provider and the Servicer, by hand delivery or facsimile transmission, a Letter of Credit Demand in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Credit specifying the applicable Letter of Credit Draw Amount.

(c)

Upon the occurrence of a Moody's Down-Grade or an S&P Down-Grade, the Servicer shall send a Moody's Down-Grade Notice or an S&P Down-Grade Notice within one Business Day, as applicable, to the Indenture Trustee.

(d)

Promptly upon learning (1) of a Moody's Down-Grade or an S&P Down-Grade, (2) that the Letter of Credit Provider is not extending the Letter of Credit Stated Termination Date or (3) that the Letter of Credit Provider seeks to recover reimbursement for increased costs, taxes or similar amounts, the Servicer shall seek to locate a replacement Letter of Credit Provider under the terms of the existing Letter of Credit. First, the Servicer shall solicit indications of interest from the entities that it understands are likely candidates to enter into an agreement identical to the Letter of Credit. Second, it shall confirm that any interested parties are Eligible Letter of Credit Banks. Third, it shall show the interested parties the Letter of Credit. Fourth, it shall request the Indenture Trustee to enter into a replacement Letter of Credit with one of the interested parties identified as an Eligible Letter of Credit Bank willing to agree to the identical terms as the Letter of Credit.

(e)

In the event that there is a Letter of Credit Reduction Amount with respect to any Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Letter of Credit Provider and the Servicer, by hand delivery or facsimile transmission, a written certificate in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Credit specifying the applicable Letter of Credit Draw Amount.

(f)

Any Letter of Credit Demand shall be delivered by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Letter of Credit Draw Amount Claim Date. The amounts distributed to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to (i) clause (1) of the definition of Letter of Credit Draw Amount under a Letter of Credit Demand shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee into the Note Distribution Account and (ii) clause (2) or (3) of the definition of Letter of Credit Draw Amount under a Letter of Credit Demand shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee into the Spread Account.

(g)

In the event that Franklin Capital Corporation determines that the Letter of Credit Available Amount represents 9% or more of the cash flow supporting the Notes, Franklin Capital Corporation shall instruct the Servicer to deliver a notice to the Indenture Trustee, by hand delivery or facsimile transmission, specifying the applicable Letter of Credit Draw Amount and the Servicer shall deliver such notice to the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 5.5

any representation, warranty or statement of the Servicer, made in this Agreement or any certificate, report or other writing delivered by the Servicer prepared based on information provided by the Servicer pursuant hereto shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made (excluding, however, any representation or warranty to which Section 4.6 shall be applicable so long as the Servicer shall be in compliance with Section 4.7), and the incorrectness of such representation, warranty or statement has a material adverse effect on the Noteholders and, within 30 days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee or by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class, the circumstance or condition in respect of which such representation, warranty or statement was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured; and

then, and in each and every case, any of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class then outstanding or Holders of Certificates of Percentage Interests greater than 50% in the case of any default that does not adversely affect the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, in any case by notice given in writing to the Servicer may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. For the purposes of Section 8.1(b), any determination of an adverse effect on the interest of the Certificateholders or the Noteholders pursuant to Section 8.1(b) shall be made without consideration of the availability of funds under the Letter of Credit.

In the event of the Servicer’s termination hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall become the successor Servicer and assume the obligations of the Servicer hereunder or the Indenture Trustee shall appoint any established institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of automotive receivables similar to the receivables as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement.

(b)

Upon appointment, the successor Servicer (including the Indenture Trustee acting as successor Servicer) shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer, subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 8.2(a) hereof, and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. No successor Servicer (including the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer) shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the outgoing Servicer to deliver, or delay delivery, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) the failure of the outgoing Servicer to cooperate as required by this Agreement.

Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.
