The Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic audits of the Receivable Files held by it under this Agreement and of the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Issuer, the Security Insurer or the Trustee to verify the accuracy of the Servicer’s record keeping. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Issuer, the Security Insurer and the Trustee any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.

(b)

Maintenance of Records. The Servicer shall maintain each Receivable File at the offices specified in Schedule B to this Agreement or at such other office as shall be specified to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Security Insurer by written notice not later than 10 days after any change in location provided that the Controlling Party does not object to such change. The Servicer shall at all times maintain the original of the fully executed Receivable and store such original Receivable in a fireproof facility. Additionally, the Servicer shall maintain the Receivable Files in an organized and orderly manner.

(c)

Access to Records. The Servicer will provide, on the Closing Date, an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Receivable Files with respect to the Initial Receivables contain all materials which are required to be kept therein by Section 3.3(a), (b), (c) and (d). The Servicer will provide, on each Subsequent Transfer Date, an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Receivable Files with respect to the Subsequent Receivables transferred on such Subsequent Transfer Date contain all materials which are required to be kept therein by Section 3.3(a), (b), (c) and (d). At any time following the Closing Date, the Security Insurer may conduct a review of the Receivable Files, or a sample thereof as it may specify, at its own expense but with the cooperation of the Servicer. Should the Security Insurer find a material number of documents missing or any other irregularities, then the Trustee shall perform a review, for the benefit of the Security Insurer and at the expense of the Servicer, of all the Receivable Files.

Upon reasonable prior notice, the Servicer shall make available to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Security Insurer or any duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors of any of the foregoing, a list of locations of, and access to, the Receivable Files and records and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times during normal business hours as the Issuer, the Trustee or the Security Insurer shall instruct.

(d)

Release of Documents. Upon written instruction from the Trustee or the Security Insurer, at any time following a Servicer Default or termination of the Servicer’s appointment pursuant to Section 3.7 the Servicer shall release any Receivable File to the Trustee, the Trustee’s agent, or the Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, or the Security Insurer, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Trustee or the Security Insurer, as the case may be, may designate, as soon as practicable.

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 Trustee.

SECTION 3.6

Custodian’s Indemnification. The Servicer as custodian shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, the Security Insurer, the Owner Trustee and the Trustee and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Trust, the Security Insurer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or any of their officers, directors, employees and agents as the result of any improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer as custodian of the Receivable Files; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Trustee or the Security Insurer, as the case may be, for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Owner Trustee, the Trustee or the Security Insurer, as the case may be. This provision shall not be considered to limit the Servicer’s or any other party’s rights, obligations, liabilities, claims or defenses which arise as a matter of law or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.7

Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer’s appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Initial 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. The Trustee or, with the consent of the Trustee, the Owner Trustee may, in each case, with the consent of the Security Insurer, and the Security Insurer may, terminate the Servicer’s appointment as custodian (i) with cause or (ii) upon the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Trigger Event or a Spread Account Deposit Event (excluding the event described in clause (v) of the definition thereof), upon written notification to the Servicer and the Trustee or Security Insurer, as the case may be. As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer shall deliver the Receivable Files to the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent at such place or places as the Trustee, with the consent of the Security Insurer, or the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Security Insurer, reasonably designate in writing. If the Servicer shall be terminated as custodian hereunder for any reason but shall continue to serve as Servicer, the Trustee shall, or shall cause its agent to, make the Receivable Files available to the Servicer during normal business hours upon reasonable notice so as to permit the Servicer to perform its obligations as Servicer hereunder.

SECTION 3.8

Article Nine Provisions. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.8 speak as of the Closing Date in the case of Initial Receivables and the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date in the case of Subsequent Receivables, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuer and pledge thereof to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. 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 Seller.

(b)

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

(c)

(e)

The Seller 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.

The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller.

(g)

Franklin Capital has in its possession all original copies of the Receivables Files that constitute or evidence the Receivables.

ARTICLE IV

Administration and Servicing of Receivables

SECTION 4.1

Duties of Servicer. The Servicer, as agent for the Issuer and the Security Insurer (to the extent provided herein), 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, the Trustee and the Security Insurer 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 Trustee, the Indenture Collateral Agent, the Security Insurer, 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 Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders. The Owner Trustee and the Security Insurer 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 and/or the Security Insurer 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.

(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 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 requirement 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 Servicing Fee Rate and the rate at which the premium accrues under the Insurance Policy and (3) 1.50%). 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 31st of the then-current calendar year, (4) the related Receivable is less than thirty days past due as of October 31st 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 and the Security Insurer, 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 coordinates 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 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. (a) 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 Seller. 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.

(b)

Upon the occurrence of an Insurance Agreement Trigger Event, and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Security Insurer may (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing) instruct the Owner Trustee and the Servicer to take or cause to be taken, or, if an Insurer Default shall have occurred, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer shall take or cause to be taken such action as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Security Insurer (or, if an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, counsel to the Owner Trustee), be necessary to perfect or reperfect the security interests in the Financed Vehicles securing the Receivables in the name of the Trust by such reasonable means as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Security Insurer or the Owner Trustee (as applicable), be necessary or prudent. The Servicer hereby agrees to pay all expenses related to such perfection or reperfection and to take all action necessary therefor.

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 Trustee, the Indenture Collateral Agent, the Security Insurer, 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 Seller, the Servicer, the Security Insurer or the Issuer shall inform the other parties and the 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 Seller, the Servicer, the Security Insurer, the Issuer or the 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, the Certificateholders or the Security Insurer 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 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 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 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 to the extent that such amount is not required to be deposited to the Spread Account pursuant to the Spread Account Agreement. 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.

SECTION 4.9

Servicer’s Certificate. (a) No later than 12:00 noon New York City time on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Trustee, the Security Insurer or its fiscal agent, the Indenture Collateral Agent and each Rating Agency a Servicer’s Certificate containing, among other things, (i) all information necessary to enable the Trustee to make any withdrawal and deposit required by Section 5.6(a) and 5.6(c), to give any notice required by Section 5.4 and to make the distributions required by Section 5.6, (ii) all information necessary to enable the Trustee to send the statements required by Section 5.8 to the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, each Rating Agency and the Security Insurer, (iii) a listing of all Receivables purchased during the related Monthly Period, identifying the Receivables so purchased, (iv) all information necessary to enable the Trustee to reconcile all deposits to, and withdrawals from, the Collection Account for the related Monthly Period and Distribution Date, including the accounting required by Section 5.9, (v) the amount of Covered Amounts (as defined in the Servicer Deposit Support Agreement) to be deposited to the Collection Account for the related Distribution Date pursuant to the Servicer Deposit Support Agreement, (vi) all information necessary to enable the Owner Trustee to make the distribution required by the Trust Agreement, (vii) a statement of the then current long-term rating and short-term rating of the Representative maintained by each Rating Agency and (viii) a statement setting forth the number of modifications, extensions or deferrals granted by the Servicer during the prior calendar month and the aggregate principal balance as of the end of the related Monthly Period of all Contracts on which an extension, deferral or modification has been granted by the Servicer during the prior calendar month pursuant to Section 4.2(b) herein. Receivables purchased by the Servicer, the Seller or the Representative and each Receivable which became a Liquidated Receivable or which was paid in full during the related Monthly Period shall be identified by account number (as set forth in Schedule A hereto). A copy of such certificate may be obtained by any Noteholder or Certificateholder by a request in writing to the Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office or from the Servicer. Neither the Trustee nor the Owner Trustee shall be under any obligation to confirm or reconcile the information provided pursuant to Section 4.9(a)(iv).

(b)

If the Servicer’s Certificate contains a manifest error, the Security Insurer’s written notice to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Trustee containing the corrected information shall be deemed to amend such Servicer’s Certificate.

SECTION 4.10

Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Default. (a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Trustee and the Security Insurer, on or before November 30 of each year beginning November 30, 2004 an Officer’s Certificate, dated as of the preceding September 30, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12 month period (or, for the initial report, for such longer period or shorter period as shall have elapsed from the date of issuance of the Notes) and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status thereof. The Trustee shall send a copy of such certificate and the report referred to in Section 4.11 to the Rating Agencies. A copy of such certificate and the report referred to in Section 4.11 may be obtained by any Certificateholder by a request in writing to the Owner Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office or by any Noteholder by a request in writing to the Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office. Upon the telephone request of the Owner Trustee, the Trustee will promptly furnish the Owner Trustee a list of Noteholders as of the date specified by the Owner Trustee. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, shall be deemed to agree that the Trustee shall be under no liability for providing the list of Noteholders to the Owner Trustee as described in the immediately preceding sentence.

(b)

The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Trustee, the Security Insurer and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officer’s Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under Section 8.1(a) or (b).

SECTION 4.11

Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Report. The Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants, which may also render other services to the Servicer or the Seller, to deliver to the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Trustee and the Security Insurer on or before November 30 of each year beginning November 30, 2004 an agreed-upon procedures report addressed to the Servicer, the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Trustee and the Security Insurer and each Rating Agency, expressing a summary of findings, (based on certain procedures performed on the documents, records and accounting records that such accountants considered appropriate under the circumstances) relating to the servicing of the Receivables, or the administration of the Receivables and of the Trust, as the case may be, during the preceding year ended September 30 (or, for the initial report, for such longer period or shorter period as shall have elapsed from the date of issuance of the Notes), and that, on the basis of the accounting and auditing procedures considered appropriate under the circumstances, such firm is of the opinion that such servicing or administration was conducted in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such report.

Such report will also indicate that the firm is independent of the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

SECTION 4.12

Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to representatives of the Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Security Insurer reasonable access to the Receivable Files. The Servicer shall provide to the Certificateholders and Noteholders access to the Receivable Files in such cases where the Certificateholders or Noteholders shall be required by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation as demonstrated by evidence satisfactory to the Servicer in its reasonable judgment. Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

SECTION 4.13

Servicer Expenses. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and under any of the Basic Documents, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to Certificateholders and Noteholders.

SECTION 4.14

Appointment of Subservicer. The Servicer may at any time appoint a subservicer to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Trustee, the Security Insurer, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders for the servicing and administering of the Receivables in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Receivables. The fees and expenses of the subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer and its subservicer from time to time and none of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Trustee, the Security Insurer, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders shall have any responsibility therefor.

SECTION 4.15

Obligations under Basic Documents. (a) The Servicer shall perform all of its obligations under the Basic Documents.

(b)

The Servicer shall notify the Certificateholders and the Security Insurer in writing of any appointment of a successor Note Registrar, Certificate Paying Agent or Certificate Registrar within five Business Days thereof.

Statements to Certificateholders and Noteholders

SECTION 5.1

Establishment of Trust Accounts.

(a)

(i) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Security Insurer, 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, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, and the Security Insurer. Investment Earnings on funds in the Collection Account shall be paid to the Servicer.

(ii)

The Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders and the Security Insurer, 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 and the Security Insurer. The Note Distribution Account shall initially be established with the Trustee.

(iii)

The Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, and the Security Insurer, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Collateral Agent an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Pre Funding Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, and the Security Insurer.

(b)

Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Pre-Funding Account, the Note Distribution Account (collectively, along with the Capitalized Interest Account, the “Trust Accounts”) and the Certificate Distribution Account shall be invested by the Indenture Collateral Agent 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 Collateral Agent 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 Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, for the benefit of the Noteholders and/or the Certificateholders, as applicable, and the Security Insurer. Other than as permitted by the Rating Agencies and the Security Insurer, funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Pre-Funding Account, the Capitalized Interest 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 Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, as the case may be, and the Security Insurer. If, at any time, any of the Trust Accounts or the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Collateral Agent (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 and (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) the Security Insurer 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 Trustee, the Servicer shall notify a Trust Officer of the 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 Collateral Agent, 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 Collateral Agent with respect to the Trust Accounts and the Issuer with respect to the Certificate Distribution Account, and the Indenture Collateral Agent or the Issuer, as applicable, shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

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

in the event that the Indenture Collateral Agent, 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 Collateral Agent, in its capacity as securities intermediary, hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Indenture Collateral Agent. 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 Collateral Agent, in its capacity as securities intermediary, 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, revocable by the Controlling Party or by the Issuer with the consent of the Controlling Party, to instruct the Indenture Collateral Agent 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 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 5.1-A

Capitalized Interest Account.

(a)

With respect to amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account, in order to assure that sufficient amounts to make required distributions of interest to Noteholders and Certificateholders will be available during the Funding Period, the Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, and the Security Insurer, shall establish and maintain an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Capitalized Interest Account”) with the Indenture Collateral Agent, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, and the Security Insurer.

On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deposit an amount equal to the Capitalized Interest Account Initial Deposit into the Capitalized Interest Account.

(b)

On each of the Distribution Dates occurring in January 2004 and February 2004, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Capitalized Interest Account the Monthly Capitalized Interest Amount for such Distribution Date as further provided in Section 5.6. Following the end of the Funding Period, any amounts remaining in the Capitalized Interest Account after taking into account such transfer shall be remitted by the Trustee to the Seller as set forth in Section 5.6. Upon any such distribution to the Seller, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders and the Security Insurer will have no further rights in, or claims to, such amounts.

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) there exists no Insurer Default, (iv) 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 and the Security Insurer, then the Representative’s) short term obligations are rated at least A 1 by Standard & Poor’s and P 1 by Moody’s and (v) 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 (v) 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 Seller.

(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 Trustee and the Security Insurer as may be necessary in the opinion of the Security Insurer to verify the accuracy of such certification. In the event that the Security Insurer has not received evidence satisfactory to it of the Servicer’s entitlement to reimbursement pursuant to Section 5.2(b), the Security Insurer shall (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) give the Trustee notice to such effect, following receipt of which the Trustee shall not make a distribution to the Servicer in respect of such amount pursuant to Section 5.6(a)(i), or if the Servicer prior thereto has been reimbursed pursuant to Section 5.6(a)(i) or Section 5.9, the Trustee shall withhold such amounts from amounts otherwise distributable to the Servicer on the next succeeding Distribution Date.

SECTION 5.3

Application of Collections. All collections for the Monthly Period shall be applied by the Servicer as follows:

With respect to each Receivable (other than a Purchased Receivable), payments by or on behalf of the Obligor (other than Supplemental Servicing Fees with respect to such Receivable, to the extent collected), shall be applied to interest and principal in accordance with the Simple Interest Method.

All amounts collected that are payable to the Servicer as Supplemental Servicing Fees hereunder shall, other than as provided in Section 5.9, be deposited in the Collection Account and paid to the Servicer in accordance with Section 5.6(a).

SECTION 5.4

Deficiency Notice. (a) In the event that the Servicer’s Certificate with respect to any Determination Date shall state that the amount of the Available Funds with respect to such Determination Date is less than the sum of the amounts payable on the related Distribution Date pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 5.6(a) remaining after application of clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 5.6(a) (any such deficiency being a “Note Policy Claim Amount”), then on the Deficiency Claim Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date the Trustee, based solely on the information provided in the Servicer’s Certificate, shall deliver to the Indenture Collateral Agent, the Security Insurer, the fiscal agent of the Security Insurer, the Owner Trustee, the Insurer’s Agent and the Servicer, by hand delivery, telex or facsimile transmission, a written notice (a “Deficiency Notice”) in accordance with the terms of the Note Policy specifying the Note Policy Claim Amount for such Distribution Date.

(b)

Any Deficiency Notice shall be delivered by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the related Deficiency Claim Date. The amounts distributed to the Trustee pursuant to a Deficiency Notice shall be deposited by the Trustee into the Note Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.5.

SECTION 5.5

Additional Deposits. The Servicer, the Seller, and the Representative, as applicable, shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account on the second Business Day immediately prior to the Distribution Date following the date on which such obligations are due the aggregate Purchase Amount with respect to Purchased Receivables. On or before each Draw Date, the Trustee shall remit to the Note Distribution Account any amounts delivered to the Trustee pursuant to a Deficiency Notice.

SECTION 5.6

Distributions. (a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall (based solely on the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered with respect to the related Determination Date) distribute the following amounts in the following order of priority:

(i)

from the Distribution Amount, to the Servicer, the Base Servicing Fee for the related Monthly Period, any amounts constituting the Base Servicing Fee for previous Monthly Periods which have not been paid and any amounts specified in Section 5.2(b), to the extent the Servicer has not reimbursed itself in respect of such amounts pursuant to Section 5.9;

(ii)

(iv)

from the Distribution Amount, to the Note Distribution Account, the Principal Distributable Amount;

(v)

from the Available Funds, to the Security Insurer, any interest due on outstanding Surety Draws (as defined below);

(vi)

from the Available Funds, so long as no Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the Security Insurer, to the extent of available funds, the amount, if any, to reimburse the Security Insurer for amounts paid under the Note Policy (to the extent not reimbursed from other amounts available to the Security Insurer) (such amounts paid, the “Surety Draws”), any Insurer Optional Deposits paid by the Insurer, any Security Insurer Defense Costs and all other amounts payable to the Security Insurer under the Insurance Agreement;

from the Available Funds, to the Security Insurer, any amounts specified in clause (vi) above that remain unpaid; and

(xi)

from the Available Funds, to the Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the Certificateholders or their designees, any remaining funds.

provided, however, that, following an acceleration of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Indenture (and the related declaration of acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled) or the receipt of Insolvency Proceeds, amounts will be distributed pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Indenture instead of pursuant to this Section. Notwithstanding item (x) above, for so long as the Servicer and/or its affiliates are the owners of the Certificates, amounts to be remitted pursuant to such item (x) to the Certificate Distribution Account may instead be distributed directly to the Certificateholders by the Servicer.

(b)

No later than 12:00 noon New York City time on each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall (based solely on the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date) cause to be made the following transfers and distributions in the amounts set forth in the Servicer’s Certificate for such Distribution Date:

(i)

during the Funding Period from the Pre-Funding Account (A) if such Distribution Date is the Mandatory Partial Prepayment Date, to the Note Distribution Account, in immediately available funds, the Pre-Funded Amount (exclusive of the Pre-Funding Earnings) after giving effect to the purchase of Subsequent Receivables, if any, on the Mandatory Partial Prepayment Date and (B) to the Collection Account, all Pre-Funding Earnings in the Pre-Funding Account; and

(ii)

during the Funding Period, from the Capitalized Interest Account (A) to the Collection Account, in immediately available funds, the Monthly Capitalized Interest Amount for such Distribution Date and (B) to the Seller, in immediately available funds, all Investment Earnings on funds in the Capitalized Interest Account on deposit therein or, if such Distribution Date is the Mandatory Partial Prepayment Date, all remaining funds in the Capitalized Interest Account after distribution of interest on the Notes on such date.

(c)

In the event that the Collection Account is maintained with an institution other than the Indenture Collateral Agent, the Servicer shall instruct and cause such institution to make all deposits and distributions pursuant to Section 5.6(a) on the related Distribution Date.

SECTION 5.7

Pre-Funding Account.

(a)

On the Closing Date, the Trustee will deposit, on behalf of the Seller, in the Pre Funding Account the Pre-Funding Account Initial Deposit from the proceeds of the sale of the Notes. On each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the Pre Funding Account an amount equal to the Principal Balance of the Subsequent Receivables transferred to the Issuer on such Subsequent Transfer Date and to distribute such amount to or upon the order of the Seller upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement with respect to such transfer.

(b)

If the Pre Funded Amount has not been reduced to zero on the date on which the Funding Period ends, after giving effect to any reductions in the Pre Funded Amount on such date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the Pre Funding Account on the Mandatory Partial Prepayment Date the Pre-Funded Amount and deposit an amount equal to the Prepayment Amount in the Note Distribution Account.

No successor Servicer (including the 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.
