Purchase shall be subject to the conditions precedent that:
(a) On the related Purchase Date, the Sponsor shall have
certified in the related Purchase Assignment that:
(i) the representations and warranties of the
Sponsor, and, to the best of its knowledge, the [Master
Administrator], the [Master Servicer] and the Servicer set forth in
Sections 3.01, 3.02, 4.03 and 5.04 are true and
21
28
correct on and as of such date, before and after giving effect to such
Purchase, as though made on and as of such date;
(ii) to the best of its knowledge, no event has
occurred, or would result from such Purchase or from the application
of the proceeds therefrom, which constitutes an Event of Default or
would constitute an Event of Default but for the requirement that
notice be given or time elapse or both;
(iii) the Sponsor is in compliance with each of its
covenants set forth herein;
(iv) to the best of its knowledge, no event has
occurred which constitutes an Event of Master Servicing Termination or
would constitute an Event of Master Servicing Termination but for the
requirement that notice be given or time elapse or both;
(v) to the best of its knowledge, no event has
occurred which constitutes an Event of Servicing Termination or would
constitute an Event of Servicing Termination but for the requirement
that notice be given or time elapse or both;
(vi) no event has occurred which constitutes an
Event of Administrator Termination or would constitute an Event of
Administrator Termination but for the requirement that notice be given
or time elapse or both;
(b) The Principal Amortization Period shall not have
begun;
(c) The Sponsor shall have delivered to the Servicer as
custodian for and on behalf of the Trustee an executed copy of the related Sale
Agreement (if such Sale Agreement has not been previously delivered to the
Trustee) and Sale Assignment and an Officer's Certificate stating that all
conditions precedent to the effectiveness thereof shall have been satisfied to
the extent that the failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on
the Certificateholders;
(d) Each of the Sponsor, the [Master Administrator], the
[Master Servicer], the Originator and the Servicer shall have taken such other
action, including delivery of approvals, consents, opinions, documents and
instruments as may be reasonably requested by each of them, the Trustee or the
Rating Agency with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or such Purchase Assignment.
SECTION 2.05. Grant of Security Interest; Tax Treatment. (a)
Except with respect to the Intended Tax Characterization, it is the intention
of the parties hereto that the conveyance by the Sponsor of the Transferred
Assets to the Trustee on behalf of the
22
29
Trust on the Closing Date and each Purchase to be made hereunder shall
constitute a purchase and sale of such Transferred Assets and not a loan. In
the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction were to hold that
the transaction evidenced hereby constitutes a loan and not a purchase and
sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement and each
related Purchase Assignment shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law, and that the Sponsor shall be deemed to have granted to the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, a first priority perfected security interest
in all of the Sponsor's right, title and interest in, to and under the
Transferred Assets and the other Trust Assets. The conveyance by the Sponsor of
the Transferred Assets to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust on the Closing
Date and the Purchases shall not constitute and are not intended to result in
an assumption by the Trustee or any Certificateholder of any obligation of the
Sponsor to the Obligors, the Originator, the insurers under any insurance
policies including the Insurance Policies, or any other Person in connection
with the Transferred Assets.
(b) It is the intention of the Sponsor that, with respect
to all Taxes, the Investor Certificates will be treated as indebtedness of the
Sponsor to the Investor Certificateholders secured by the Transferred Assets
(the "Intended Tax Characterization"). The Sponsor and the Trustee, by
entering into this Agreement, and each Investor Certificateholder by the
purchase of an Investor Certificate, agree to report such transactions for
purposes of all Taxes in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax
Characterization.
(c) The Sponsor shall take no action inconsistent with
the Trust's ownership of the Transferred Assets and shall indicate or shall
cause to be indicated in its records and records held on its behalf that
ownership of each Auto Loan and the other Transferred Assets is held by the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust. In addition, the Sponsor shall respond to any
inquiries from third parties with respect to ownership of an Auto Loan or any
other Transferred Asset by stating that it is not the owner of such Auto Loan
and that ownership of such Auto Loan or other Transferred Asset is held by the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust.
SECTION 2.06. Further Action Evidencing Assignments. (a) The
Sponsor agrees that, from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly
execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further
action, that may be necessary or appropriate, or that the [Master
Administrator], the [Master Servicer], the Servicer or the Trustee may
reasonably request, in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the
transfer of ownership of the Transferred Assets or to enable the Trustee to
exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder, and under any Purchase
Assignment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sponsor
will, upon the request of the [Master Administrator] on its behalf or on behalf
of the [Master Servicer],
23
30
the Servicer or the Trustee execute and file (or cause to be executed and
filed) such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or
assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary
or appropriate including, without limitation, recording and filing UCC-1
financing statements, amendments or continuation statements with the office of
the Secretary of State of the state of the location of chief executive office
of the Sponsor (and other locations): (i) on or prior to the Closing Date; and
(ii) not more than five days after the effective date of any change of the
name, identity or structure or relocation of its chief executive office or any
change that would make any UCC-1 or continuation statement previously filed
pursuant to this Agreement seriously misleading within the meaning of
applicable provisions of the UCC.
(b) The Sponsor hereby grants to the [Master
Administrator] a power of attorney to execute all documents on behalf of the
Sponsor as may be necessary or desirable to effectuate the foregoing.

filing referred to in Section 2.06, which materially and adversely affects the
interest of the Certificateholders in any Auto Loan or which results in a loss,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
others. If, on the Deposit Date in the month following the expiration of a 90
day period since the date of such notice referred to in the immediately
preceding sentence, such breach or failure shall remain uncured, the Auto Loan

of the [Master Administrator] to the effect that the Repurchase Price has been

order the Servicer to release such Auto Loan and the related Loan File to the
Sponsor, the Originator or the [Master Servicer], as the case may be, and the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall assign to the Sponsor, the Originator or
the [Master Servicer], as the case may be, all of the Trust's and the
Certificateholders' right, title and interest in such purchased or repurchased
Auto Loan, and all property and rights conveyed to the Trustee relating thereto
(excluding, however, payments
28
35
previously received under the Insurance Policies), and the Assignments to the
extent such payments relate to such repurchased or purchased Auto Loans,
without recourse, representation or warranty, except as to the absence of
liens, charges or encumbrances created by or arising as a result of actions of
the Trustee except as to liens, charges or encumbrances created or arising out
of this Agreement. The Trustee and the Sponsor shall execute and deliver to
the Sponsor, the Originator, or the [Master Servicer], as the case may be, an

or agreement of the Sponsor, set forth in Sections 2.06, 3.01 and 3.02 or the
agreements of the [Master Servicer] and the Servicer, as the case may be, set
forth in Section 2.02 and 4.04(a)(i); provided, that the foregoing limitation
shall not be construed to limit in any manner the right of the [Master
Administrator], the Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders to declare a
Principal Amortization Event to have occurred or to terminate the
responsibilities of the [Master Servicer] or the Servicer hereunder to the
extent such breaches also constitute or contribute to the determination of a
Principal Amortization Event or an Event of Master Servicing Termination or an
Event of Servicing Termination. For the purposes of this Agreement, an Auto
Loan has not been "repurchased" or "purchased" by the Sponsor, the Originator
or the [Master Servicer], as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 3.03
unless the Repurchase Price therefor has been deposited into the Collection
Account.
ARTICLE IV
SERVICING OF TRUST ASSETS
SECTION 4.01. [Appointment of [Master Servicer]. (a) ___
agrees to act as the [Master Servicer] to perform all servicing duties under
this Agreement subject to the terms hereof.
(b) Except as specifically identified herein as duties
of the [Master Servicer], the [Master Servicer] hereby subcontracts all
servicing duties hereunder to the Servicer; provided, that the [Master
Servicer] shall remain obligated and be liable to the Trust and the Trustee for
the servicing and administration of the Auto Loans in accordance with the
provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue
of the appointment of the Servicer and to the same extent and under the same
terms and conditions as if the [Master Servicer] alone were servicing and
administrating the Auto Loans.
(c) Each of the [Master Servicer] and the Servicer shall
perform its respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of and
for the benefit of the Trust in accordance with the
29
36
terms of this Agreement, the respective Auto Loans and applicable law and, to
the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which, and with
the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which, it services and
administers Auto Loans of similar credit quality for other portfolios, if any,
giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of
prudent institutional automobile and loan servicers and, in each case, taking
into account its other obligations hereunder, but without regard to:
(i) any relationship that the [Master Servicer]
or the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Affiliate of the [Master
Servicer] or the Servicer or any Subservicer may have with the related
Obligor;
(ii) the ownership of any Certificate by the
[Master Servicer] or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the [Master
Servicer] or the Servicer;
(iii) the [Master Servicer]'s, the Servicer's or
any Subservicer's right to receive compensation for its services
hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction; or
(iv) the ownership, or servicing for others, by
the [Master Servicer] or the Servicer or any Subservicer, of any other
automobile loans or property.
In the event that the [Master Servicer] or the Servicer believes that it is
unable to comply with the requirements of this Section 4.01(c) with respect to
any particular Auto Loan as a result of one or more of the factors described in
the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), it may enter into a Subservicing
Agreement pursuant to Section 4.02 pursuant to which a Subservicer shall
perform its duties with respect to such Auto Loan. In such event, so long as
such Subservicer performs such duties on behalf of the [Master Servicer] or the
Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the requirements of this Section
4.01, then the [Master Servicer] or the Servicer shall be deemed to be in
compliance therewith. Subject to any express limitations set forth in this
Agreement, the [Master Servicer] and the Servicer shall also seek to maximize
the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on Auto Loans;
provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an
express or implied guarantee by the [Master Servicer] or the Servicer of the
collectibility of the Auto Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Servicer shall at all times service the Auto Loans in a manner
consistent with maintaining their eligibility for coverage under the Insurance
Policies.
(d) The [Master Servicer] and the Servicer are authorized
and empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of themselves,
the Trust, the Certificateholders, or the Trustee or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or
30
37
cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Auto Loans or the related Automobiles.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall, upon the
receipt of a written request of a Servicing Officer, execute and deliver to the
[Master Servicer] or the Servicer any limited powers of attorney and other
documents prepared by the Servicer and necessary or appropriate (as certified
in such written request) to enable the [Master Servicer] or the Servicer, as
applicable, to carry out its servicing duties hereunder (including without
limitation matters relating to the Insurance Policies and certificates of title
with respect to the Automobiles), and the Trustee shall not be held responsible
for any negligence by the [Master Servicer] or the Servicer, as applicable, in
its use of such limited powers of attorney.]
SECTION 4.02. Subservicing Agreements Between Servicer and
Subservicer. (a) The Servicer may, with the prior written consent of the
[Master Servicer] and the [Master Administrator], enter into Subservicing
Agreements with a Subservicer for the performance of all or a part of the
Servicer Duties. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken
by the Servicer in performance of the Servicer Duties include actions taken or
to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer. Each Subservicing
Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with
this Agreement. The Servicer shall provide notice to the [Master
Administrator], the [Master Servicer], the Trustee and the Rating Agency in
writing promptly upon the appointment of any Subservicer. For purposes of this
Agreement, the receipt by the Subservicer of any amount with respect to an Auto
Loan (other than amounts representing servicing compensation or reimbursement
or an advance) shall be treated as the receipt by the Servicer of such amount.
(b) Except as provided in Section 4.02(e), the Servicer
shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement that may exist in
accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and
without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of
the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between
the Servicer or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a
Subservicer or otherwise, the [Master Servicer] and the Servicer shall remain
obligated and liable to the Trustee, the Trust and the [Master Administrator]
for the servicing and administering of the Auto Loans in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability
(including their respective indemnity of obligations under Section 9.03) by
virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Subservicer or the Servicer and to the same extent and
under the same terms and conditions as if the [Master Servicer] and the
Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Auto Loans. The [Master
Servicer]
31
38
and the Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a
Subservicer for indemnification of the [Master Servicer] and the Servicer and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
(d) Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into
and any other transaction or services relating to the Auto Loans involving a
Subservicer in its capacity as such and not as an Originator shall be deemed to
be between the Subservicer and the Servicer alone and the [Master
Administrator], the [Master Servicer], the Trustee and the Certificateholders
shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights,
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer.
(e) If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer hereunder (including by reason of any Event of Servicing Termination),
the Servicer, upon prior written notice to the [Master Administrator] and the
Trustee, shall thereupon terminate each Subservicing Agreement that may have
been entered into, and the [Master Administrator], the Trustee and the
successor Servicer shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the Servicer's
interest therein or to have replaced the Servicer as a party to any such
Subservicing Agreement.

transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and
(h) Its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records
and products are adequate for the performance of its duties hereunder,
including, in the case of the [Master Servicer], the duties of the Servicer

on sums in such account to the [Master Administrator] on each
Distribution Date;
(vi) administering and enforcing all rights and
responsibilities of the holder of the Auto Loans provided for in the
Assignments and Insurance Policies;
(vii) submitting information on the Auto Loans to
the Insurance Companies or their designated agents (as specified in
the Credit and Collection Policies) for coverage under the Insurance
Policies; receiving Payments as the Trust's agent on the Insurance
Policies as well as on the insurance policies maintained by the
Obligors, filing claims with the Insurance Companies with respect
thereto and working with the [Master Administrator] to resolve any
disputes in respect thereto;
(viii) issuance of the reports to the [Master
Administrator], the Trustee and the Rating Agency required by this
Agreement;
(ix) providing the [Master Administrator] with
such assistance as it may require for the preparation and timely
delivery of the List of Auto Loans pursuant to Section 5.03(a)(iii),
and furnishing, on request of the [Master Administrator], the Trustee
or the Rating Agency, such reasonably pertinent underlying data as can
be generated by the Servicer's existing data processing systems
without, in the opinion of the Servicer, undue modification or
expense;
34
41
(x) repossessing and remarketing of Automobiles
following Obligor defaults;
(xi) maintaining such books of account and other
records as will enable the [Master Administrator] and the Trustee to
determine the status of each Auto Loan;
(xii) providing the Obligors with any reports
required by applicable law; and
(xiii) making payments in respect of certain Auto
Loan origination reimbursement obligations of the Sponsor arising in
connection with the acquisition of the Auto Loans, as directed by the
Sponsor, but in no event shall the Servicer be required to make such a
payment such that the aggregate payments made by it exceed the
aggregate Servicer Interest Amount received by it unless the Sponsor
shall have provided such funds to it.
(b) The Servicer may xxx to enforce or collect upon the
Auto Loans in its own name, or as agent for the Trust. If the Servicer elects
to commence a legal proceeding to enforce an Auto Loan in its own name, the act
of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the Auto Loan
by the Trustee to the Servicer for purposes of collection only. If in any
enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not
enforce an Auto Loan on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or
a holder entitled to enforce the Auto Loan, the Trustee, on behalf of the
Trust, and with the consent of the Servicer, shall take such steps as the
Servicer deems necessary to assign to the Servicer the Auto Loan solely for the
purpose of permitting the Servicer to enforce the Auto Loan.
(c) The Servicer shall exercise any rights of recourse
against third Persons that exist with respect to any Auto Loan (except with
respect to any repurchase obligation of the Originator, which shall be enforced
by the [Master Administrator] pursuant to Section 3.03) or otherwise in
accordance with the Servicer's usual practice and the standard of care required
by Section 4.01.
(d) In accordance with the standard of care in Section
4.01 the Servicer may grant to the Obligor on any Auto Loan any rebate, refund
or adjustment that the Servicer in good faith believes is required under the
Auto Loan or applicable law in connection with a prepayment in full of the Auto
Loan, and may deduct the amount of any such rebate, refund or adjustment from
the amount otherwise payable by the Servicer into the Collection Account. The
Servicer may not permit any rescission or cancellation of any Auto Loan nor may
it take any action with respect to any Auto Loan, Insurance Policy or
Assignment which would materially impair the rights of the Trust or the
Certificateholders therein or in the proceeds thereof.
35
42
(e) The Automobile securing an Auto Loan shall not be
released by or on behalf of the Sponsor or the Servicer from the security
interest granted by such Auto Loan in whole or in part, except:
(i) when such Auto Loan has been paid in full;
(ii) immediately upon any exchange or substitution
of such Automobile by the Dealer or manufacturer thereof in settlement of
claims as to defects, breach of warranties, and similar matters, with an
Automobile of equal or greater collateral value as of the date of such exchange
in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer (subject to all the terms hereof
including the recordation of the Trustee's lien thereon and the requirements of
the Insurance Policies); or
(iii) as otherwise contemplated in Section 3.03;
provided, however, that the Servicer may extend any Auto Loan for credit
related reasons, consistent with the servicing standard in Section 4.01,
subject to the limitations on extensions and modifications on Auto Loans set
forth in the Insurance Policies.
(f) Except as expressly provided herein, neither the
[Master Servicer] nor the Servicer shall sell, assign (by operation of law or
otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or create any Adverse Claim upon or with
respect to, any Auto Loan (or any right to income in respect thereof), or any
account in which any Payments are deposited, or assign any right to receive
income in respect of any Auto Loan
SECTION 4.05. Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an
errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible
companies on all officers, employees or other Persons acting on behalf of the
Servicer in any capacity with regard to the Trust Assets to handle funds,
money, documents and papers relating to the Trust Assets. Any such fidelity
bond and errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Servicer
against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and
omissions and negligent acts of such Persons and shall be maintained in a form
and amount that would meet the requirements of prudent institutional auto loan
servicers. No provision of this Section 4.05 requiring such fidelity bond and
errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its
duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The Servicer shall be
deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its respective Affiliates
has such fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy coverage and, by the
terms of such fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy, the coverage
afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. The Servicer shall cause each and
every Subservicer for it to maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and
omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements. Upon request
of the [Master
36
43
Administrator], the [Master Servicer] or the Trustee, the Servicer shall cause
to be delivered to the [Master Administrator] or the Trustee a certification
evidencing coverage under such fidelity bond and insurance policy. Any such
fidelity bond or insurance policy shall not be cancelled or modified in a
materially adverse manner without ten days' prior written notice to the [Master
Administrator] and the Rating Agency.
SECTION 4.06. Inspection. (a) At all times during the
term hereof, each of the [Master Servicer] and the Servicer shall afford the
[Master Administrator] and the Trustee and its authorized agents, upon
reasonable notice, reasonable access (subject to the security rules and
regulations of the [Master Servicer] or the Servicer, as the case may be)
during normal business hours to their respective records relating to the Auto
Loans and the other Trust Assets conveyed pursuant to Section 2.01 and Section
2.05 and will cause their respective personnel to assist in any examination of
such records by the Trustee, provided, that the foregoing shall not require the
[Master Administrator] or Trustee to conduct any inspection. The examination
referred to in this Section 4.06 will be conducted in a manner which does not
unreasonably interfere with the [Master Servicer]'s or the Servicer's normal
operations or customer or employee relations or require the [Master Servicer]
or the Servicer to disclose or expose confidential information related to its
services to their other clients. Without otherwise limiting the scope of the
examination, the [Master Administrator] and the Trustee may, using generally
accepted auditing standards, verify the status of each Auto Loan and review the
Loan Files, Electronic Ledger and records relating thereto for conformity to
reports prepared pursuant to Section 4.19 and compliance with the standards
represented to exist as to each Auto Loan in this Agreement.
(b) All information obtained by the [Master
Administrator] regarding the Obligors and the Auto Loans, whether upon exercise
of its rights under this Section 4.06 or otherwise, shall be maintained by the
[Master Administrator] in confidence and shall not be disclosed to any other
Person, except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation.
SECTION 4.07. Trustee to Cooperate. Upon payment in full
on any Auto Loan, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing on the next
succeeding Deposit Date (which notification shall include a statement to the
effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment in full which
are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section
7.02(b) have been so deposited) and if the related Loan File is not at the time
held by the Servicer as the custodian of the Trustee, shall request delivery of
the Auto Loan and Loan File to the Servicer. Upon receipt of such request, the
Trustee shall promptly release or cause to be released such Auto Loan and the
related Loan File if appropriate to the Servicer by executing a release and
assignment
37
44
in the form of Exhibit E hereto, which assignment shall be without recourse to
the Trustee (except as to the absence of liens, charges or encumbrances created
by or arising as a result of actions taken by the Trustee other than those
created by or arising from this Agreement). Upon receipt of such Auto Loan and
Loan File, the Servicer shall be authorized to execute an instrument in
satisfaction of such Auto Loan and to take such other actions and execute such
other documents as it deems necessary to discharge the Obligor thereunder and
eliminate the security interest in the Automobile related thereto. The
Servicer shall determine when an Auto Loan has been paid in full. Upon request
of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall perform such other acts as reasonably
requested by the Servicer and otherwise cooperate with the Servicer in
enforcement of the Certificateholder's rights and remedies with respect to the
Auto Loans, the Assignments and the Insurance Policies; provided, however, the
Trustee shall not be required to take any action in breach of its fiduciary
duties, and nothing herein shall require the Trustee to advance its own funds.
SECTION 4.08. Servicing Fee; Servicing Expenses. The
[Master Servicer] shall be paid the Monthly Servicing Fee in accordance with
the provisions of Section 7.04(a). No later than ten Business Days prior to
the next Monthly Fee Date, the Servicer shall provide the [Master
Administrator] with a list of items eligible for reimbursement under the
Monthly Servicing Fee, in such reasonable detail as the [Master Administrator]
may request, together with its certification by a Servicing Officer that all
such items are eligible for inclusion within the Monthly Servicing Fee. The
[Master Administrator] may rely on such certification without independent
investigation of the matters set forth therein. Except to the extent of the
Monthly Servicing Fee, the [Master Servicer] shall be required to pay for all
expenses incurred by it and by the Servicer in connection with their respective
activities hereunder (including any payments to accountants, counsel,
Subservicers, or any other Person) and shall not be entitled to any payment or
reimbursement therefor. In the event that no [Master Servicer] is appointed
pursuant to Section 4.13(a), the Monthly Servicing Fee shall be paid in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.04 to the Servicer.
SECTION 4.09. [Master Servicer] To Maintain Computer Link.
Without limitation of its obligations in respect of the other provisions of
this Agreement, and in addition to the duties of the Servicer, the [Master
Servicer] has provided and will maintain on-line computer linkage capability
with the Servicer so as to enable the [Master Servicer] to convert and use the
Servicer's files in a form suitable for immediate assumption of its duties as
Servicer pursuant to Section 4.15.
SECTION 4.10. [Master Servicer] and Servicer Not to Resign.
Neither the [Master Servicer] nor the Servicer, as the case may be, shall
resign from the obligations and duties hereby
38
45
imposed on it except upon its determination that (a) the performance of its
duties hereunder has become impermissible under applicable law and (b) there is
no reasonable action which the [Master Servicer] or the Servicer, as the case
may be, could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible
under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the
[Master Servicer] or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall be evidenced as to
clause (a) above by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the
[Master Administrator] and the Trustee and as to clause (b) by on Officer's
Certificate to such effect delivered to the [Master Administrator] and the
Trustee. The action referred to in clause (b) above will not be considered
reasonable if it requires the payment of extraordinary fees or costs for which
the [Master Servicer] or the Servicer, as the case may be, are not eligible for
reimbursement under Section 4.08. Promptly upon any resignation pursuant to
this Section 4.10, the [Master Administrator] shall notify the Rating Agency
thereof.
SECTION 4.11. Change in Business of the [Master Servicer]
or the Servicer. The Sponsor, the [Master Administrator] and the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders have entered into this Agreement with the
[Master Servicer] and the Servicer, respectively as to each, in reliance upon
its ability to perform the servicing duties, if necessary, without any
delegation thereof; the adequacy of its plant, personnel, records and
procedures; its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the
continuance of each of the foregoing. Neither the [Master Servicer] nor the
Servicer shall, without prior written consent of the [Master Administrator] (a)
make any material change in the character of its business; or (b) merge with or
into or consolidate with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or
hereafter acquired), or acquire all or substantially all of the assets or
capital stock or other ownership interest of, any other corporation; provided,
however, that the sole remedy of the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the [Master Administrator] shall have in respect of the
Servicer's noncompliance with the provisions of the preceding clauses (a) and
(b) shall be to terminate the Servicer's rights and responsibilities pursuant
to Section 4.14. The [Master Administrator] shall consent to the changes
referred to in the preceding clauses (a) and (b) if, but only if, the Rating
Agency indicates in writing to the [Master Administrator] and the Trustee that
such changes would not result in a review with negative implications,
suspension, downgrade, withdrawal or other adverse effect on the rating of the
Investor Certificates.
SECTION 4.12. Events of Master Servicing Termination. If
any of the following events (each, an "Event of Master Servicing Termination")
shall occur and be continuing:
(a) Failure on the part of the [Master Servicer] to
observe or perform any term, covenant or agreement in this
39
46
Agreement, including the [Master Servicer] duties under Section 4.09, which
materially affects the rights of the Certificateholders and which continues
unremedied for five Business Days after the date on which written notice of
such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
[Master Servicer] by the [Master Administrator] or the Trustee; or
(b) Any proceeding shall be instituted against the
[Master Servicer] (or, if the [Master Servicer] is actively contesting the
merits thereof, such proceeding is not dismissed within 90 days) seeking to
adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of
it or any of its Debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for
relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar
official for it or for any substantial part of its property, or any of the
actions sought in such proceeding (including, without limitation, the entry of
an order for relief against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee,
custodian or other similar official for, it or for any substantial part of its
property) shall occur; or
(c) The commencement by the [Master Servicer] of a
voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or
proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to
the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the [Master Servicer]
in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the
commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or
the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or
relief under any applicable Federal or state law, or the consent by it to the
filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a
custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar
official of the [Master Servicer] or of any substantial part of its property,
or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the
admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its Debts generally as they
become due, or the taking of corporate action by the [Master Servicer] in
furtherance of any such action; or
(d) There is at any time a material breach of any of the
representations and warranties of the [Master Servicer] set forth in Section
4.03; or
(e) The short term unsecured debt obligations of the
[Master Servicer] shall be rated no less than Duff-2 by Duff & Xxxxxx (or if
not at such time rated by Duff & Xxxxxx, (i) no less than A-2 by Standard &
Poor's and P-2 by Moody's (provided, that if only one such rating agency rates
such party, such single rating
40
47
shall suffice) and (ii) the [Master Servicer] shall give prompt notice of any
downgrade by Standard & Poor's or Moody's to Xxxx & Xxxxxx); and provided,
further, that an Event of Master Servicing Termination shall not be deemed to
have occurred if, following the occurrence of the [Master Servicer]'s
short-term unsecured debt rating falling below the foregoing ratings, the
Rating Agency confirms in writing to the [Master Administrator] and the Trustee
that such decline will not result in a review with negative implications,
suspension, downgrade, withdrawal or other adverse effect on the rating of the
Certificates, at which point such new rating shall be substituted in place of
the ratings provided above, subject to the same conditions as to any further
downgrade;
then, and in any such event, either the [Master Administrator] or the Trustee
may by delivery to the [Master Servicer] of a written notice specifying the
occurrence of any of the foregoing events terminate the servicing and custodial
responsibilities of the [Master Servicer] hereunder, without demand, protest or
further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the [Master
Servicer]; provided, that, in the event any of the events described in
subsections (b) or (c) shall have occurred, termination of the duties and
responsibilities of the [Master Servicer] shall automatically occur, without,
demand, protest, or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly
waived by the [Master Servicer]. The Trustee or the [Master Administrator], as
the case may be, shall simultaneously with any declaration of any Event of
Master Servicing Termination, give notice thereof to the Rating Agency, the
[Master Administrator], the [Master Servicer], the Servicer and the Trustee.
SECTION 4.13. Appointment of the Successor Master Servicer.
(a) Upon termination of the [Master Servicer]'s responsibilities under this
Agreement pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.12, the [Master Administrator]

written notice to the [Master Administrator] that such failure would result in
a suspension, downgrade, or withdrawal of the then current rating assigned to
the Investor Certificates, appoint a successor [Master Servicer] acceptable to
the Trustee and the Rating Agency (a "Successor [Master Servicer]"). Such
Successor [Master Servicer] shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the [Master Servicer] under this
Agreement; provided, that such Successor [Master Servicer] and the Trustee
shall have no responsibility for any actions of the [Master Servicer] prior to
the date of the appointment of such Successor [Master Servicer] as [Master
Servicer]. Prior to the appointment of such Successor [Master Servicer], the
Trustee shall be authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the [Master Servicer], as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents
and other instruments, and to do any and all acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination and to perform
the duties of the [Master Servicer] hereunder
41
48
(including its duties as Successor Servicer hereunder but excluding its duty to
indemnify pursuant to Article IX). The standard of care, representations and
warranties, covenants, liabilities, rights of indemnification, and all other
rights and obligations of the Trustee under this Agreement shall also be
applicable to the Trustee in its capacity hereunder. In the event no Successor
[Master Servicer] has been appointed within 60 days of the removal of a [Master
Servicer] and the Trustee has received written notice from the Rating Agency to
the effect that failure to appoint a successor [Master Servicer] will or has
resulted in suspension, downgrade or withdrawal of the rating assigned to the
Investor Certificates, the Trustee may petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint a Successor [Master Servicer].
(b) Any Successor [Master Servicer] appointed hereunder
(including the Trustee during such time as it functions as the Successor
[Master Servicer]) shall be entitled to reasonable compensation (including the

Administrator] or any of its Affiliates is the Successor [Master Servicer], the
Trustee shall agree to the amount of such compensation. The amount of such
compensation may result in an increase or decrease in the Monthly Servicing
Fee.
(c) The outgoing [Master Servicer], the [Master
Administrator], the Trustee and the Successor [Master Servicer] shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession, including, without limitation, the express assumption by such
Successor [Master Servicer] of the duties and obligations of the outgoing
[Master Servicer] hereunder.

shall be successor in all respects to the outgoing [Master Servicer] under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be
subject to all responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed
upon the [Master Servicer] by the terms and provisions hereof (subject to the
same limitations as are contained in this Section 4.13 with respect to a
succession to the outgoing [Master Servicer] by the Trustee).
SECTION 4.14. Events of Servicing Termination. If any of
the following events (each, an "Event of Servicing Termination") shall occur
and be continuing:

deposit required to be made by it hereunder and the continuance of such failure
for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of
such failure shall have been given to the Servicer by the [Master
Administrator] or the Trustee; or
42
49
(b) Failure on the part of the Servicer to observe or
perform any term, covenant or agreement in this Agreement which materially
adversely affects the rights of the Certificateholders and which continues
unremedied for 30 Business Days after the date on which written notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the [Master Administrator] or Trustee; or
(c) Any proceeding shall be instituted against the
Servicer (or, if the Servicer is actively contesting the merits thereof, such
proceeding is not dismissed within 90 days) seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt
or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or any of its Debts under
any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of
debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a
receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for any
substantial part of its property, or any of the actions sought in such
proceeding (including, without limitation, the entry of an order for relief
against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar
official for, it or for any substantial part of its property) shall occur; or

insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or
answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal
or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the

assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Servicer or of any
substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay
its Debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by
the Servicer in furtherance of any such action; or
(e) The Servicer shall fail to deliver a report expressly
required by this Agreement, and the continuance of such failure for a period of
five Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure
shall have been given to the Servicer by the [Master Administrator] or the

portion of such report during such time as the Servicer's failure to provide
such information is for cause or inability beyond its control; or

representations and warranties of the Servicer set forth in Section 4.03; or
(g) An Event of Master Servicing Termination has occurred
and the [Master Administrator] or the Trustee has terminated the servicing and
custodial responsibilities of the [Master Servicer] pursuant to Section 4.12
and is required to appoint a Successor [Master Servicer] pursuant to Section
4.13(a);
then, and in any such event, either the [Master Administrator] or the Trustee
may by delivery to the Servicer of a written notice specifying the occurrence
of any of the foregoing events terminate the servicing and custodial
responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder, without demand, protest or further
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Servicer (such
termination being herein called a "Service Transfer"); provided, that, in the
event any of the events described in subsections (c) or (d) shall have
occurred, termination of the duties and responsibilities of the Servicer shall
automatically occur, without, demand, protest, or further notice of any kind,
all of which are expressly waived by the Servicer. The Trustee or the [Master
Administrator], as the case may be, shall simultaneously with any declaration
of any Event of Servicing Termination, give notice thereof to the Rating
Agency, the [Master Administrator], the [Master Servicer], the Servicer and the
Trustee.
SECTION 4.15. Appointment of the Successor Servicer. (a)
Upon termination of the Servicer's responsibilities under this Agreement
pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.14 the [Master Servicer] shall
immediately assume all of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties and
obligations as Servicer. On or at any time after the date of such assumption,
the [Master Servicer] may appoint a successor Servicer acceptable to the
[Master Administrator], the Trustee and the Rating Agency (a "Successor
Servicer"). Such Successor Servicer shall succeed to all rights and assume all
of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this
Agreement; provided, that such Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility
for any actions of the Servicer prior to the date of the appointment of such
Successor Servicer as Servicer. In the event the [Master Servicer] fails to
assume the duties of the Servicer or appoint a Successor Servicer pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall be authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do any and all
acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice
of termination or perform the duties of the Servicer hereunder (excluding its
duty to indemnify pursuant to Article IX). The standard of care,
representations and warranties, covenants, liabilities, rights of
indemnification, and all other rights and obligations of the Trustee under this
Agreement shall also be applicable to the Trustee in its capacity hereunder.
The Trustee
44
51
may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a Successor Servicer
if the [Master Servicer] fails to assume the duties of the Servicer or appoint
a Successor Servicer within 60 days of the removal of a Servicer.
(b) Any Successor Servicer appointed hereunder (including
the Trustee, during such time as it functions as the successor Servicer) shall
be entitled to reasonable compensation (including the estimated costs of its
servicing and a reasonable profit) which shall be determined by the [Master
Administrator], provided that if the [Master Administrator] or any of its
Affiliates is the Successor Servicer, the Trustee shall agree to the amount of
such compensation. The amount of such compensation may result in an increase
or decrease in the Monthly Servicing Fee.

Servicer by the Trustee).

instructions to) Obligors to make payments under the Auto Loans directly to the
Successor Servicer.

shall have no further obligations with respect to the management, servicing,
custody or collection of the Auto Loans and the Successor Servicer shall have
all of such obligations, except that the outgoing Servicer will transmit or
cause to be transmitted directly to the Successor Servicer for its own account,
promptly on receipt and in the same form in which received, any amounts held by
the outgoing Servicer (properly endorsed where required for the Successor
Servicer to collect them) received as Payments upon or otherwise in connection
with the Auto Loans.
45
52
(c) A Service Transfer shall not affect the rights and
duties of the parties hereunder (including, but not limited to, the obligations
and indemnities of the outgoing Servicer or the Sponsor pursuant to Section
9.02 and Section 9.03) other than those relating to the management, servicing,
custody or collection of the Auto Loans.
SECTION 4.17. Annual Reports; Statements as to Compliance.

performance of the [Master Administrator] Duties include actions taken or to be
taken by a Subcontractor on behalf of the [Master Administrator]. The Servicer

proceeding; and
(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request
has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Investor
Certificateholders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Investor Certificates;
it being understood and intended that no one or more Investor
Certificateholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or
by availing of, any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of any other Certificateholders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain
priority or preference over any other Certificateholders or to enforce any
right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the

every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and

SECTION 8.10. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or
omission of the Trustee or of any Certificateholder to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy

Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the
Certificateholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be
deemed expedient, as permitted under the terms hereof, by the Trustee or by the
Certificateholders, as the case may be.

Certificateholders of an aggregate Percentage of not less than 50% shall have

76
83
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose
of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
default or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION 8.13. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this
Agreement agree, and each Investor Certificateholder by his acceptance of an
Investor Certificate shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Agreement, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may
in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and disbursements, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard
to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party
litigant; but the provisions of this Section 8.13 shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the Sponsor, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit
instituted by any Certificateholder or group of Certificateholders holding in
the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Investor

at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Agreement; and the Sponsor (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

appointed as provided in Section 10.08 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to each of the [Master Administrator], the Sponsor, the [Master Servicer], the

predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder with like
effect as if originally named a Trustee. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver
or cause to be delivered to the successor Trustee or its custodian and any
related documents and statements held by it or its custodian hereunder
(provided, that so long as no Event of Servicing Termination shall have
occurred, the Servicer shall continue as custodian of the Loan Files
hereunder); and the [Master Administrator], the Sponsor, the [Master Servicer],
the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for the full

(a) This Agreement and the respective obligations and responsibilities of the
Sponsor, the [Master Administrator], the [Master Servicer], the Servicer and
the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make
payments to Certificateholders as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate on the
date (the "Trust Termination Date") which is the earlier to occur of:

(ii) December 31, 20__.
(b) Upon at least 15 days' written notice to the Trustee
(and to Investor Certificateholders) prior to a Distribution Date, provided the
Investor Certificate Principal Balance on such Distribution Date is 10% or less
of the Initial Principal Amount, the [Master Administrator] may, but is not
required to, purchase as of the last day of the preceding Due Period all, but
not less than all, outstanding Auto Loans at a price equal to the aggregate
Principal Balances of all Auto Loans on the next preceding Distribution Date
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the sum of the weighted average APR
through the last day of such preceding Due Period. Such price shall be
deposited to the Collection Account in immediately available funds by 10:00
a.m., New York City time, on the relevant Distribution Date and the Trustee
shall release (or cause its custodian to release) the Auto Loans and, if at
such time the [Master Administrator] does not have possession of the Loan
Files, the Loan Files to the [Master Administrator], whereupon the Investor
Certificates shall no longer evidence any right or interest in the Auto Loans
or the Loan Files, the Assignments, or any Insurance Policies or any proceeds
of the foregoing. Upon the request of the [Master Administrator], the Trustee
shall perform such other acts as reasonably requested by the [Master
Administrator] and otherwise cooperate with the [Master Administrator] in
connection with the transfer of the Transferred Assets pursuant to this Section
11.01(b) including, but not limited to, the execution of any Title Document to
the extent necessary to effectuate the termination of such Auto Loan and the
disposition of the related Automobile.
(c) If by the Expected Final Payment Date, the Investor
Certificate Principal Balance (after giving effect to any distributions to be
made on such date) is greater than zero, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, or
the [Master Administrator] on behalf of the Trustee, will use its best efforts
to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Transferred Assets in a
commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which
shall include the solicitation of competitive bids. The proceeds of any such
sale, disposition or liquidation of the Transferred Assets will be treated as
Payments and will be immediately deposited in the Collection Account and such
proceeds, in addition to the Available Funds on deposit in the Collection
Account, shall be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.04.
(d) The [Master Administrator] shall give the Trustee,
the [Master Servicer], and the Servicer at least 30 days prior written notice

subsection 11.01(a). Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer's
Certificate setting forth the information specified in Section 4.19 covering
the period during
87
94
the then-current calendar year through the date of such notice. Not later than
the fifth Business Day in the Due Period in which the final distribution in
respect to the Investor Certificates is payable to the Investor

Servicer], the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity or defect of, to correct or
supplement any provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other
provisions herein or to add any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such action shall not, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, adversely affect
in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder. Such Opinion
of Counsel shall be at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or,
if such Amendment is required by any Rating Agency to maintain the rating
issued by it on the Investor Certificates or requested by the Trustee in order
to clarify any ambiguity or resolve any inconsistency, then the related Opinion
of Counsel shall be at the expense of the [Master Administrator].
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time
by the Sponsor, the [Master Administrator], the [Master Servicer], the Servicer
and the Trustee, with the consent of the Certificateholders of not less than an
aggregate Percentage of [66 2/3%] of outstanding Investor Certificates, for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the
rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment
shall (a) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
collections of payments on the Auto Loans or distributions which are required
to be made on any Certificate then outstanding, (b) reduce the aforesaid
percentage required to consent to any such amendment or (c) modify this Section
11.03(b) without the consent of the holders of all Certificates then
outstanding. The [Master Administrator] may set a record date for purposes of
determining the holders entitled to give a written consent or waive compliance

evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Investor
Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the
Trustee may prescribe.
(e) The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into any such amendment which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.
