        WHEREAS the Issuer desires to purchase from the Depositor additional receivables arising in connection with motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts to be originated or acquired by the Receivables Seller;

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE II

Conveyance of Receivables.

        SECTION 2.1.    Conveyance of Receivables.    

        (a) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) below, on each Transfer Date the Depositor does hereby sell and contribute to the Issuer without recourse (subject to the obligations set forth herein), all right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to:

            (i) all Receivables acquired by the Depositor and listed on Schedule A to the related S&SA Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B;

            (ii) the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by Obligors pursuant to such Receivables and any other interest of the Depositor acquired from the Receivables Seller in such Financed Vehicles;

            (iii) any proceeds and the right to receive proceeds with respect to such Receivables from claims on any physical damage, credit life or disability insurance policies covering the related Financed Vehicles or Obligors and any proceeds from the liquidation of such Receivables;

            (iv) any proceeds from any Receivable repurchased by a Dealer pursuant to a Dealer Agreement or a Third-Party Lender pursuant to an Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement as a result of a breach of representation or warranty in the related Dealer Agreement or Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement;

            (v) all rights under any Service Contracts on the related Financed Vehicles;

            (vi) the related Receivables Files;

            (vii) all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in its rights and benefits, but none of its obligations or burdens, under the Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement (including all RPA Assignments entered into pursuant thereto), including the delivery requirements, representations and warranties and the cure and repurchase obligations of the Receivables Seller under the Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement (and all RPA Assignments entered into pursuant thereto), on or after the related Cut-off Date; and

            (viii) the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

        On the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on each Transfer Date, the Depositor agrees to offer for sale, and to sell, a portion of each of the Receivables (equal to the Sales Price therefor) to be sold hereunder on such Transfer Date to the Issuer and to contribute to the Owner Trust Estate of the Issuer the balance of each of the Receivables and to deliver the related Receivable Files to or at the direction of the Issuer. To the extent the Issuer has or is able to obtain sufficient funds to pay the Sales Price thereof, the Issuer agrees to purchase such Receivables offered for sale by the Depositor.

        On each Transfer Date after the Closing Date, the Depositor agrees to sell and contribute to the Issuer Receivables with an aggregate Principal Balance equal to the Receivables Amortization Amount

2



plus the Required Delinquent Receivables Amount. In addition, on each Transfer Date after the Closing Date, the Depositor may sell and contribute to the Issuer Receivables with an aggregate Principal Balance equal to the unpaid Principal Balance of all Delinquent Receivables as of such Transfer Date in excess of the Required Delinquent Receivables Amount to the extent sold or contributed by the Receivables Seller to the Depositor.

        To the extent that on any Transfer Date following the Closing Date the Receivables Seller sells and contributes Receivables to the Depositor and the Depositor sells and contributes Receivables to the Issuer in respect of the Required Delinquent Receivables Amount (or in respect of Delinquent Receivables in excess of the Required Delinquent Receivables Amount), the Issuer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to, and the Indenture Trustee shall, release the related Delinquent Receivables from the lien of the Indenture and shall instruct the Custodian to release the related Receivables Files to the Servicer.

        It is the intention of the parties hereto that each sale and contribution contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute an absolute sale and contribution of the related Receivables from the Depositor to the Issuer and that the related Receivables shall not be part of the Depositor's estate or otherwise be considered property of the Depositor in the event of the bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, liquidation, conservatorship or similar proceeding relating to the Depositor or any of its property. Except as set forth below, it is not intended that any amounts available for reimbursement of Receivables be deemed to have been pledged by the Depositor to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. In the event that (A) the purchase of Receivables by the Issuer is deemed by a court or applicable regulatory, administrative or other governmental body contrary to the express intent of the parties to constitute a pledge rather than a sale and contribution of the Receivables or (B) if amounts available now or in the future for reimbursement of any Receivables are held to be property of the Depositor or a loan to the Depositor, or (C) if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to be a financing or some other similar arrangement or agreement, then (i) this Agreement is and shall be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC; (ii) the Issuer shall be treated as having a first priority, perfected security interest in and to, and lien on, the Receivables sold and contributed to the Issuer hereunder; (iii) the agreement of the Depositor hereunder to sell and contribute the Receivables shall be a grant by the Depositor to the Issuer of a security interest in all of the Depositor's right (including the power to convey title thereto), title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) all amounts reimbursable now or in the future by or with respect to the Receivables and (B) any and all general intangibles consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all such amounts from time to time held or invested in accounts maintained by or on behalf of the Depositor or by or on behalf of the Issuer, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property. The possession by the Issuer or its agent of notes and such other goods, money, documents or such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper, and the filing of a UCC Financing Statement, shall be "possession by the secured party," or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction; and notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of any such holder for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

3



        (b) The Depositor shall transfer to the Issuer the Receivables and the other property and rights related thereto described in paragraph (a) above subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

            (i) the Depositor shall deliver to the Majority Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding each Transfer Date and each date a Servicer's Report is delivered, an amended and restated Schedule of Receivables listing all Receivables owned by the Issuer as of such date (the "Schedule of Receivables");

            (ii) as of each Transfer Date, (A) neither the Depositor nor the Receivables Seller shall be insolvent and neither shall become insolvent as a result of the transfer of Receivables on such Transfer Date, (B) neither the Depositor nor the Receivables Seller shall intend to incur or believe that either of them shall incur debts that would be beyond their respective abilities to pay as such debts mature, (C) such transfer shall not have been made with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any Person and (D) neither the assets of the Depositor nor the assets of the Receivables Seller shall constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out their respective businesses as conducted;

            (iii) each of the representations and warranties made by the Receivables Seller and the Depositor pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to the Receivables to be transferred on such Transfer Date shall be true and correct as of the related Transfer Date, and the Receivables Seller shall have performed all obligations to be performed by it under the Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement and hereunder on or prior to such Transfer Date;

            (iv) the Receivables Seller shall, at its own expense, on or prior to the Transfer Date indicate in its computer files that the Receivables identified in the related RPA Assignment have been sold to the Issuer;

            (v) the Depositor and the Receivables Seller shall have taken any action required to maintain the first priority perfected ownership interest of the Issuer in the Owner Trust Estate and the first perfected security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Collateral;

            (vi) no selection procedures adverse to the interests of the Noteholders shall have been utilized in selecting the related Receivables; provided, however, that no adverse selection procedures are deemed to have been utilized with respect to the $800,000,000 in seasoned receivables which were selected by the Receivables Seller for sale to the Depositor on the Closing Date; and

            (vii) the addition of any such Receivables shall not result in an adverse tax consequence to the Issuer or the Noteholders.

        The Receivables Seller covenants that in the event any of the foregoing conditions precedent are not satisfied with respect to any Receivable on the date required as specified above, the Receivables Seller will repurchase such Receivable from the Depositor who will consequently repurchase such Receivable from the Issuer in the manner specified in Section 4.7, at a price equal to the Repurchase Price.

        In the event that the Issuer has provided a Redemption Notice to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 2.16(b) of the Indenture, upon the deposit of the Redemption Price into the Collection Account, the Indenture Trustee shall release the Receivables from the Lien of the Indenture and the Issuer may, upon the direction of the Certificateholders, convey and assign the Receivables free and clear of the Lien of the Indenture.

        SECTION 2.2.    Further Encumbrance of the Collateral.    (a) Immediately upon the conveyance to the Issuer by the Depositor of any item of the Collateral pursuant to Section 2.1, all right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to such item of the Collateral shall terminate, and all such right, title

4



and interest shall vest in the Issuer, in accordance with the Trust Agreement and Sections 3802 and 3805 of the Statutory Trust Statute (as defined in the Trust Agreement).

        (b) Immediately upon the vesting of the Collateral in the Issuer, the Issuer shall have the sole right to pledge or otherwise encumber, such Collateral. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer shall grant a security interest in the Collateral to the Indenture Trustee securing the repayment of the Notes. The Certificates shall represent the beneficial ownership interest in the Collateral, and the Certificateholders shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect thereto as set forth in the Indenture and the Trust Agreement.

        (c) Following the payment in full of the Notes and the release and discharge of the Indenture, all covenants of the Issuer under Article III of the Indenture shall, until payment in full of the Certificates, remain as covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the Certificateholders, enforceable by the Certificateholders to the same extent as such covenants were enforceable by the Noteholders prior to the discharge of the Indenture. Any rights of the Indenture Trustee under Article III of the Indenture, following the discharge of the Indenture, shall vest in Certificateholders.

        (d) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes Outstanding and all sums due to the Indenture Trustee and the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate to the Certificateholders.

        SECTION 2.3.    Class C Notes.    In consideration for arranging the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents, on the Closing Date, the Issuer shall deliver the Class C Notes to or at the direction of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.

ARTICLE III

The Receivables.

        SECTION 3.1.    Representations and Warranties of the Receivables Seller and Depositor.    

        (a) The Receivables Seller hereby represents and warrants that each of the representations and warranties set forth on the Schedule of Representations attached hereto as Schedule B is true and correct with respect to the Receivables it transferred to the Depositor and the Receivables Seller acknowledges that both the Depositor and the Issuer have relied on such representations and warranties in acquiring the Receivables and upon which the Noteholders shall be deemed to rely in purchasing the Notes. Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the related Transfer Date, but shall survive the sale and contribution of the Receivables to the Depositor and the sale and contribution by the Depositor to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. The Receivables Seller hereby represents and warrants, on the date hereof and each Transfer Date, that the information set forth in the Schedule of Receivables is true and correct and that the Schedule of Receivables lists each Receivable sold and contributed by it to the Depositor and sold and contributed by the Depositor to the Issuer.

        (b) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that each of the representations and warranties set forth on the Schedule of Representations attached hereto as Schedule B is true and correct with respect to the Receivables it transferred to the Issuer and the Depositor acknowledges that the Issuer has relied on such representations and warranties in acquiring the Receivables and upon which the Noteholders shall be deemed to rely in purchasing the Notes. Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the related Transfer Date, but shall survive the sale and contribution of the Receivables to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants, on the date hereof and each Transfer Date, that the information set forth in the Schedule of Receivables is

5



true and correct and that the Schedule of Receivables lists each Receivable sold and contributed to the Issuer.

        SECTION 3.2.    Repurchase upon Breach.    

        (a) Each of the Receivables Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the Majority Noteholder and the other parties to this Agreement promptly, which notice shall be in writing, upon the discovery by any such party of any breach of the Receivables Seller's or Depositor's representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.1. As of the fifth Business Day following the discovery by the Receivables Seller or Depositor or receipt by the Receivables Seller or Depositor of notice of such breach, unless such breach is cured by such date, the Receivables Seller shall have an obligation to repurchase any Receivable in which the value of such Receivable or the interests of the Noteholders are materially adversely affected by any such breach as of such date. In consideration of and simultaneously with the repurchase of the Receivable, the Receivables Seller shall remit to the Collection Account in the manner specified in Section 5.4 the Repurchase Price, and the Issuer shall execute such assignments and other documents reasonably requested by such person in order to effect such repurchase. Except as otherwise set forth in the next paragraph, the sole remedy of the Depositor, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders with respect to a breach of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.1 and the agreement contained in this Section shall be the repurchase of Receivables pursuant to this Section, subject to the conditions contained herein or to enforce the obligation of the Receivables Seller to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to the Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement (and all RPA Assignments entered into pursuant thereto) and this Section 3.2. Neither the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee nor the Custodian shall have any duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any conditions requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 3.2.

        In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding whether the related Receivable shall have been purchased by the Receivables Seller, the Receivables Seller shall indemnify the Depositor, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Custodian and the officers, directors, agents and employees thereof, and the Noteholders against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such breach.

        (b) Pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement, the Depositor conveyed to the Issuer all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in its rights and benefits, but none of its obligations or burdens, under the Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement (including all RPA Assignments entered into pursuant thereto) including the Depositor's rights under the Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement and the delivery requirements, representations and warranties and the cure or repurchase obligations of the Receivables Seller thereunder. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Issuer that such assignment is valid, enforceable and effective to permit the Issuer to enforce such obligations of the Receivables Seller under the Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement (and all RPA Assignments entered into pursuant thereto).

        SECTION 3.3.    Custody of Receivables Files.    

        (a) In connection with the sale, transfer and assignment of the Collateral to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall enter into the Custodian Agreement with the Custodian and the Issuer, dated as of March 18, 2003, pursuant to which the Indenture Trustee shall appoint the Custodian, which shall initially be Bank One Trust Company, N.A., and the Custodian shall accept such appointment, to act as the agent of the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the Custodial Files which shall be delivered to the

6



Custodian as agent of the Indenture Trustee in the manner and within the time periods set forth in the Custodian Agreement (with respect to each Receivable):

            (i) The fully executed original of the Receivable containing a Protective Stamp; and

            (ii) A copy of the Lien Certificate (when received) and otherwise such documents, if any, that the Receivables Seller keeps on file in accordance with its customary procedures indicating that the Financed Vehicle is owned by the Obligor and subject to the interest of the Receivables Seller (or a Titled Third-Party Lender) as first lienholder or secured party (including any Lien Certificate received by the Receivables Seller), or, if the Lien Certificate has not yet been received, either (i) a copy of the application therefor, showing the Receivables Seller (or a Titled Third-Party Lender) as secured party or (ii) a copy of the executed and completed Dealer Agreement related to such Receivable.

        (b) If the Receivables Seller does not deliver a copy of the Lien Certificate with respect to a Receivable within the time periods set forth above, the Receivables Seller or the Servicer shall deliver a copy of such Lien Certificate to the Custodian not later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such Lien Certificate.

        (c) In the event that a copy rather than the original Lien Certificate is delivered to the Custodian with respect to any Receivable in accordance with subclause (b) above, the Receivables Seller shall deliver (or cause the Servicer to deliver) the original of such Lien Certificate (a "Requested Lien Certificate") to the Custodian within 30 Business Days following its receipt of written instructions from the Majority Noteholder (with a copy to the Custodian) to deliver such original Lien Certificate. Within 30 Business Days following its receipt of written instructions from the Majority Noteholder (with a copy to the Custodian), the Receivables Seller shall deliver to the Custodian (i) Assignments of the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee or such other party as may be specified by the Majority Noteholder, together with any intervening assignments of the Receivables to the Receivables Seller and/or (ii) a copy of the original credit application of each Obligor, fully executed by each such Obligor, on the Receivables Seller's customary form, or on a form approved by the Receivables Seller, for such application, or in the event that the application was obtained electronically, a printout of the electronic file reflecting the credit information provided by the Obligor (any of the foregoing documents, together with any Requested Lien Certificate, a "Demand Document"). All Demand Documents will be clearly labeled with the loan number to which they correspond, will be provided to the Custodian grouped in loan number order and will not be contained within separate file folders.

        (d) All of the documents delivered to the Custodian with respect to a Receivable pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be included in the Custodial File of such Receivable.

        (e) The Servicer covenants that, in the event the original Lien Certificate is not delivered pursuant to subclause (c) above, it will track the Receivable associated with the undelivered original Lien Certificate and deliver a monthly report to the Majority Noteholder (which report shall list the undelivered original Lien Certificate and its associated Receivable) until such time as the original Lien Certificate is delivered to the Custodian. In the event that, with respect to any Receivable, a copy of, or, if applicable, the original, Lien Certificate has not been delivered to the Custodian within 210 Business Days from the Closing Date, the Receivables Seller shall repurchase the Receivable associated with such undelivered original Lien Certificate from the Depositor (who will consequently repurchase such Receivable from the Issuer in the manner specified in Section 4.7), at a price equal to the Repurchase Price within 10 days of the end of such 210 Business Day period.

        (f) The Receivables Seller covenants that in the event any of the foregoing documents are not delivered in accordance with the terms of the Custodian Agreement or there exists a defect with respect to any document that adversely affect the value of any Receivable or the interest of the Noteholders in any Receivable, the Receivables Seller shall, pursuant to notice provided by the

7



Exceptions Report, or written notice from the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Majority Noteholder, deliver any such undelivered document(s) or cure any such defective document(s) within 10 days of such notice. If, at the end of such 10 day period, the Receivables Seller has failed to deliver an undelivered document or cure a defective document, the Receivables Seller shall repurchase any Receivable(s) associated with such undelivered or defective document(s) from the Depositor (who will consequently repurchase such Receivable from the Issuer in the manner specified in Section 4.7), at a price equal to the Repurchase Price.

        SECTION 3.4.    Credit Scoring Methodology.    The Receivables Seller covenants that it will not amend the credit score model it uses to establish the AmeriCredit Scores unless it is in possession of statistically valid information that demonstrates that utilizing the amended model to acquire receivables benefits both the Receivables Seller and the Noteholders. The methodology of the amended credit score model shall match the methodology of the model used on the Closing Date. Any amendment pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be consistent with appropriate consumer credit scorecard development standards as well as statistical research method standards.


ARTICLE IV

Administration and Servicing of Receivables.

        SECTION 4.1.    Duties of the Master Servicer.    The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to act as agent for the Issuer and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables, and perform the other servicing actions required under this Agreement. The Master Servicer agrees that its servicing of the Receivables shall be carried out in accordance with customary and usual procedures of institutions which service motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and, to the extent more exacting, the degree of skill and attention that the Master Servicer exercises from time to time with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others (the "Servicing Standard"). The Master Servicer's duties shall include, without limitation, collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting any required tax information to Obligors, monitoring the collateral, complying with the terms of the Lockbox Agreement, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee and the Majority Noteholder with respect to distributions, monitoring the status of Insurance Policies with respect to the Financed Vehicles and performing the other duties specified herein.

        To the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Issuer to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Issuer, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and with respect to the Financed Vehicles; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not, except pursuant to an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, release an Obligor from payment of any unpaid amount under any Receivable or waive the right to collect the unpaid balance of any Receivable from the Obligor except in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

8


        The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer, a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable pursuant to Section 4.3 or to commence or participate in any other legal proceeding (including, without limitation, a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle. If the Master Servicer commences or participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name, the Issuer shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such Receivable to the Master Servicer solely for purposes of commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Master Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Issuer to execute and deliver in the Master Servicer's name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. The Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer with any limited powers of attorney and other documents which the Master Servicer may reasonably request and which the Master Servicer deems necessary or appropriate and take any other steps which the Master Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

        Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer has delegated its servicing obligations in this Article IV to the Servicer, subject to the following:

            (i)    the Servicer shall perform the duties assigned to the Servicer in this Agreement in accordance with the Servicing Standard;

            (ii)    so long as the Receivables Seller is the Servicer, the Servicer shall substantially comply with the policies and procedures described on Schedule C, as such policies and procedures may be updated from time to time in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; to the extent the Servicer's customary standards, policies and procedures are consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Receivables Seller may follow such standards, policies and procedures in performing the duties assigned to the Servicer hereunder;

            (iii)    the Master Servicer shall continue to be responsible for any duties specifically assigned to the Master Servicer in this Agreement;

            (iv)    in the event the Servicer fails to perform its obligations hereunder and is removed or terminated as the Servicer, the Master Servicer shall, upon not less than 30 days written notice from the Majority Noteholder, be responsible for the Servicer's duties in this Agreement as if it were the Servicer, except as expressly set forth in Annex B hereto, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be liable for the Servicer's breach of its obligations;

            (v)    within 45 days of the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall have conducted an on-site inspection of the Servicer's operations in connection with this Agreement, and shall conduct additional on-site inspections not less frequently than every 6 months thereafter. Within 10 days of each such inspection, the Master Servicer shall deliver a certificate (in a form to be agreed upon in good faith between the Master Servicer and the Majority Noteholder) (the "Master Servicer Certificate") certifying that the Master Servicer has conducted an inspection consistent with this Section 4.1. During each such inspection, the Master Servicer shall perform certain review procedures to be agreed upon in good faith by the Master Servicer, the Majority Noteholder and, prior to an Event of Default, the Servicer, including, without limitation, such review procedures as the Master Servicer may require in order to be put in a position to assume the servicing responsibilities of the Servicer if required hereunder; and

            (vi)    within 45 days of the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall complete all data-mapping, and, upon the receipt of Monthly Tapes pursuant to Section 4.13: (A) electronically compile the Monthly Tape data in the Master Servicer's "off-line" computer, and (B) update or amend the data-mapping pursuant to any updated or amended fields in the Monthly Tapes.

        SECTION 4.2.    Collection of Receivable Payments; Modifications of Receivables; Lockbox Agreements.    

        (a)    Consistent with the Servicing Standard, 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 automobile receivables that it services for itself or others and otherwise act with respect to the Collateral, the Dealer Agreements, the Dealer Assignments, the Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements, the Third-Party Lender Assignments and the Insurance Policies in such manner as will, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize the amount to be received by the Issuer with respect thereto. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other similar fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Receivable.

        (b)    The Servicer may at any time agree to a modification or amendment of a Receivable in order to (i) change the Obligor's regular due date to a date within the Collection Period in which such due date occurs or (ii) re-amortize the Scheduled Receivable Payments on the Receivable following a partial prepayment of principal, in accordance with the Servicing Standard if the Servicer believes in good faith that such extension, modification or amendment is necessary to avoid a default on such Receivable, will maximize the amount to be received by the Issuer with respect to such Receivable, and is otherwise in the best interests of the Issuer.

        (c)    The Servicer may grant payment extensions on, or other modifications or amendments to, a Receivable (in addition to those modifications permitted by Section 4.2(b)) in accordance with the Servicing Standard if the Servicer believes in good faith that such extension, modification or amendment is necessary to avoid a default on such Receivable, will maximize the amount to be received by the Issuer with respect to such Receivable, and is otherwise in the best interests of the Issuer; provided, however, that:

            (i)    In no event may a Receivable be extended more than twice during any twelve month period or more than eight times during the full term of such Receivable, provided that if the governing documentation with respect to any Securitization sponsored by AmeriCredit subsequent to the date hereof permits more frequent and/or total extensions, such standards shall be deemed to apply hereto;

            (ii)    In no event may a Receivable be extended beyond the date 12 months after the original maturity date;

            (iii)    the Servicer shall not amend or modify a Receivable (except as provided in Section 4.2(b) and clause (i) and (ii) of this Section 4.2(c)) if an Overcollateralization Shortfall would result therefrom.

        (d)    The Servicer shall use its best efforts to notify or direct Obligors to make all payments on the Receivables, whether by check or by direct debit of the Obligor's bank account, to be made directly to one or more Lockbox Banks, acting as agent for the Issuer pursuant to a Lockbox Agreement. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to notify or direct any Lockbox Bank to (i) deposit all payments on the Receivables in the Lockbox Account no later than the Business Day after receipt and (ii) transfer by wire transfer of immediately available funds on each Business Day all cleared funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account to the Collection Account. The Lockbox Account shall be a demand deposit account held by the Lockbox Bank, or an Eligible Deposit Account.

        No later than one month after the related Transfer Date, the Servicer shall have notified each Obligor that makes its payments on the Receivables by check to make such payments thereafter directly to the Lockbox Bank (except in the case of Obligors that have already been making such payments to the Lockbox Bank), and shall have provided each such Obligor with remittance invoices in order to

10



enable such Obligors to make such payments directly to the Lockbox Bank for deposit into the Lockbox Account, and the Servicer will continue, not less often than every three months, to so notify those Obligors who have failed to make payments to the Lockbox Bank. The Servicer will prohibit payments on receivables other than the Receivables from being made to the Lockbox Account. If and to the extent requested by the Majority Noteholder, the Servicer shall request each Obligor that makes payment on the Receivables by direct debit of such Obligor's bank account, to execute a new authorization for automatic payment which in the judgment of the Majority Noteholder is sufficient to authorize direct debit by the Lockbox Bank on behalf of the Issuer. If at any time, the Lockbox Bank is unable to directly debit an Obligor's bank account that makes payment on the Receivables by direct debit and if such inability is not cured within 15 days or cannot be cured by execution by the Obligor of a new authorization for automatic payment, the Servicer shall notify such Obligor that it cannot make payment by direct debit and must thereafter make payment by check.

        Notwithstanding any Lockbox Agreement, or any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Lockbox Agreement, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and Noteholders for servicing and administering the Trust Estate in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue thereof.

        In the event of a termination of the Servicer (unless the successor Servicer is the Master Servicer) the outgoing Servicer shall, upon request of the Majority Noteholder, but at the expense of the outgoing Servicer, deliver to the successor Servicer all documents and records relating to each such Lockbox Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Lockbox Bank and, if so directed by the Majority Noteholder, use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any Lockbox Agreement to the successor Servicer. In the event that the Majority Noteholder elects to change the identity of the Lockbox Bank, the outgoing Servicer, at its expense, shall cause the Lockbox Bank to deliver, at the direction of the Majority Noteholder, to the Master Servicer or a successor Lockbox Bank, all documents and records relating to the Receivables and all amounts held (or thereafter received) by the Lockbox Bank (together with an accounting of such amounts) and shall otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the lockbox arrangements and the Servicer shall notify the Obligors to make payments to the Lockbox Account established by the successor.

        (e)    The Servicer shall remit all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors received directly by the Servicer to the Lockbox Bank for deposit into the Collection Account, in either case, and as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Business Day after receipt thereof.

        SECTION 4.3.    Realization upon Receivables.    

        (a)    Consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to repossess (or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of) and liquidate any Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable with respect to which the Servicer has determined that payments thereunder are not likely to be resumed, as soon as is practicable after default on such Receivable; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect not to repossess a Financed Vehicle within such time period if in its good faith judgment it determines that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would be increased by forbearance; provided, further, however, that the Servicer shall liquidate any repossessed Financed Vehicle within 90 days after repossession. The Servicer is authorized to follow such customary practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, consistent with the Servicing Standard, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers and Third-Party Lenders, the sale of the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale, the submission of claims under an Insurance Policy and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a Receivable. The foregoing is 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 any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its

11



discretion that such repair and/or repossession shall increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. All amounts received upon liquidation of a Financed Vehicle shall be remitted directly by the Servicer to the Collection Account without deposit into any intervening account as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Business Day after receipt thereof. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses incurred by it in the course of repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds, but only out of the cash proceeds of such Financed Vehicle, any deficiency obtained from the Obligor or any amounts received from the related Dealer or Third-Party Lender, which amounts in reimbursement may be retained by the Servicer (and shall not be required to be deposited as provided in Section 4.2(e)) to the extent of such expenses. The Servicer shall pay on behalf of the Issuer any personal property taxes assessed on repossessed Financed Vehicles. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of any such tax from Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Receivable.

        (b)    If the Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Dealer Agreement, Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, Dealer Assignment or Third-Party Lender Assignment, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment from the Issuer to the Servicer of the rights under such Dealer Agreement, Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, Dealer Assignment or Third-Party Lender Assignment for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Dealer Agreement, Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, Dealer Assignment or Third-Party Lender Assignment on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a Person entitled to enforce the Dealer Agreement, Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, Dealer Assignment or Third-Party Lender Assignment, the Owner Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee, at the Servicer's expense, or the Receivables Seller, at the Receivables Seller's expense, shall take such steps as the Servicer deems reasonably necessary to enforce the Dealer Agreement, Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, Dealer Assignment or Third-Party Lender Assignment, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Receivables Seller or of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. All amounts recovered shall be remitted directly by the Servicer as provided in Section 4.2(e).

        SECTION 4.4.    Insurance.    

        (a)    The Servicer shall require, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that each Financed Vehicle be insured by the related Obligor under the Insurance Policies referred to in Paragraph 24 of the Schedule of Representations and Warranties and shall monitor the status of such physical loss and damage insurance coverage thereafter, in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Each Receivable requires the Obligor to maintain such physical loss and damage insurance, naming the Receivables Seller and its successors and assigns as additional insureds, and permits the holder of such Receivable to obtain physical loss and damage insurance at the expense of the Obligor if the Obligor fails to maintain such insurance. If the Servicer shall determine that an Obligor has failed to obtain or maintain a physical loss and damage Insurance Policy covering the related Financed Vehicle which satisfies the conditions set forth in clause (i)(a) of such Paragraph 24 (including, without limitation, during the repossession of such Financed Vehicle) the Servicer may enforce the rights of the holder of the Receivable under the Receivable to require the Obligor to obtain such physical loss and damage insurance in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Servicer may maintain a vendor's single interest or other collateral protection insurance policy with respect to all Financed Vehicles ("Collateral Insurance") which policy shall by its terms insure against physical loss and damage in the event any Obligor fails to maintain physical loss and damage insurance with respect to the related Financed Vehicle. All policies of Collateral Insurance shall be endorsed with clauses providing for loss payable to the Servicer. Costs incurred by the Servicer in maintaining such Collateral Insurance shall be paid by the Servicer.

        (b)    The Servicer may, if an Obligor fails to obtain or maintain a physical loss and damage Insurance Policy, obtain insurance with respect to the related Financed Vehicle and advance on behalf

12



of such Obligor, as required under the terms of the insurance policy, the premiums for such insurance (such insurance being referred to herein as "Force-Placed Insurance"). All policies of Force-Placed Insurance shall be endorsed with clauses providing for loss payable to the Servicer. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining such Force-Placed Insurance shall only be recoverable out of premiums paid by the Obligors or Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the Receivable, as provided in Section 4.4(c).

        (c)    In connection with any Force-Placed Insurance obtained hereunder, the Servicer may, in the manner and to the extent permitted by applicable law, require the Obligors to repay the entire premium to the Servicer. In no event shall the Servicer include the amount of the premium in the Amount Financed under the Receivable. For all purposes of this Agreement, the Insurance Add-On Amount with respect to any Receivable having Force-Placed Insurance will be treated as a separate obligation of the Obligor and will not be added to the Principal Balance of such Receivable, and amounts allocable thereto will not be available for distribution on the Notes and the Certificates. The Servicer shall retain and separately administer the right to receive payments from Obligors with respect to Insurance Add-On Amounts or rebates of Forced-Placed Insurance premiums. If an Obligor makes a payment with respect to a Receivable having Force-Placed Insurance, but the Servicer is unable to determine whether the payment is allocable to the Receivable or to the Insurance Add-On Amount, the payment shall be applied first to any unpaid Scheduled Receivable Payments and then to the Insurance Add-On Amount. Net Liquidation Proceeds on any Receivable will be used first to pay the Principal Balance and accrued interest on such Receivable and then to pay the related Insurance Add-On Amount. If an Obligor under a Receivable with respect to which the Servicer has placed Force-Placed Insurance fails to make scheduled payments of such Insurance Add-On Amount as due, and the Servicer has determined that eventual payment of the Insurance Add-On Amount is unlikely, the Servicer may, but shall not be required to, purchase such Receivable from the Issuer for the Repurchase Price on any subsequent Determination Date. Any such Receivable, and any Receivable with respect to which the Servicer has placed Force-Placed Insurance which has been paid in full (excluding any Insurance Add-On Amounts) will be assigned to the Servicer.

        (d)    The Servicer may sue to enforce or collect upon the Insurance Policies, in its own name, if possible, or as agent of the Issuer. If the Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce an Insurance Policy, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the rights of the Issuer under such Insurance Policy to the Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce an Insurance Policy on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Insurance Policy, the Owner Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee, at the Servicer's expense, or the Receivables Seller, at the Receivables Seller's expense, shall take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce such Insurance Policy, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.

        (e)    The Servicer will cause itself and, shall, upon the direction of the Majority Noteholder, cause the Master Servicer and/or the Indenture Trustee to be named as named insured under all policies of Collateral Insurance and will, upon the request of the Majority Noteholder, provide copies of such policies showing the Servicer, the Master Servicer and/or the Indenture Trustee as named insured thereon.

        SECTION 4.5.    Maintenance of Security Interests in Vehicles.    

        (a)    Consistent with the policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall take such steps on behalf of the Issuer as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle, including, but not limited to, obtaining the execution by the Obligors and the recording, registering, filing, re-recording, re-filing, and re-registering of all security agreements, financing statements and continuation statements as are necessary to

13



maintain the security interest granted by the Obligors under the respective Receivables. The Indenture Trustee hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer agrees, to take any and all steps necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer as necessary because of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Issuer is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle's certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the state in which the Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Issuer, the Servicer hereby agrees that the designation of the Receivables Seller (or a Titled Third-Party Lender) as the secured party on the certificate of title is in its capacity as Servicer as agent of the Issuer.

        (b)    Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall take or cause to be taken such action as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Indenture Trustee, be necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security interests in the Financed Vehicles securing the Receivables in the name of the Issuer by amending the title documents of such Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable means as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Indenture Trustee, be necessary, or as directed by the Majority Noteholders.

        The Receivables Seller hereby agrees to pay all expenses related to such perfection or reperfection and to take all action necessary therefor. In addition, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event, the Majority Noteholder may instruct the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer to take or cause to be taken such action as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Majority Noteholder, be necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security interest in the Financed Vehicles underlying the Receivables in the name of the Issuer, including by amending the title documents of such Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable means as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Majority Noteholder, be necessary. The Receivables Seller hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its attorney-in-fact to take any and all steps required to be performed by the Receivables Seller pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) (it being understood that and agreed that the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to take such steps with respect to all perfection or reperfection, except as pursuant to the Basic Documents to which it is a party and to which the Receivables Seller has paid all expenses), including execution of certificates of title or any other documents in the name and stead of the Receivables Seller and the Indenture Trustee hereby accepts such appointment.

        SECTION 4.6.    Covenants, Representations, and Warranties of Servicer.    By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Servicer makes the following representations, warranties and covenants on which the Indenture Trustee relies in accepting the Receivables and in authenticating the Notes and on which the Noteholders rely in purchasing and making advances under the Notes.

        (a)    The Servicer covenants as follows:

            (i)    Liens in Force. The Financed Vehicle securing each Receivable shall not be released in whole or in part from the security interest granted by the Receivable, except upon payment in full of the Receivable or as otherwise contemplated herein;

            (ii)    No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Issuer or the Noteholders in any Collateral, the Dealer Agreements, the Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements, the Dealer Assignments, the Third-Party Lender Assignments or the Insurance Policies except as otherwise expressly provided herein;

            (iii)    No Amendments. The Servicer shall not extend or otherwise amend the terms of any Receivable, except in accordance with Section 4.2; and

            (iv)    Restrictions on Liens. The Servicer shall not (i) create, incur or suffer to exist, or agree to create, incur or suffer to exist, or consent to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) the creation, incurrence or existence of any Lien or restriction on

14



    transferability of the Receivables except for the Lien in favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the restrictions on transferability imposed by this Agreement or (ii) sign or file under the UCC of any jurisdiction any financing statement which names the Receivables Seller or the Servicer as a debtor, or sign any security agreement authorizing any secured party thereunder to file such financing statement, with respect to the Receivables, except in each case any such instrument solely securing the rights and preserving the Lien of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders.

            (v)    Notices. Within 10 days after the date any material change in or amendment to the Servicing Collection and Credit Policy and Procedures is made, the Servicer will deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Majority Noteholder a copy of the Servicing Collection and Credit Policy and Procedures then in effect indicating such change or amendment. The Receivables Seller shall not change the Servicing Collection and Credit Policy and Procedures or the manner in which it services the Receivables in any way that would have a material adverse effect on the Receivables or the Noteholders.

        SECTION 4.7.    Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Covenant.    Upon discovery by any of the Servicer, a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 3.3(e), 3.3(f), 4.5 or 4.6(a), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Receivables Seller as Servicer under this Section. As of the fifth Business Day following its discovery or receipt of notice of any breach of any covenant set forth in Sections 3.3(e), 3.3(f), 4.5 or 4.6(a) which adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders in any Receivable (including any Liquidated Receivable) or the related Financed Vehicle, the Receivables Seller shall, unless such breach shall have been cured in all respects, purchase from the Issuer the Receivable affected by such breach and, on the related Determination Date, the Receivables Seller shall pay the Repurchase Price. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Receivables Seller to purchase any Receivable (including any Liquidated Receivable) with respect to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Receivables Seller for such breach available to the Depositor, the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the Receivables Seller shall indemnify the Issuer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders from and against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such breach. This section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the earlier removal or resignation of the Indenture Trustee and/or the Master Servicer.

        SECTION 4.8.    Total Servicing Fee; Payment of Certain Expenses.    On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive out of the Collection Account in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.10(c) of the Indenture, the Servicing Fee for the related Collection Period. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports made by the Servicer to Noteholders and all other fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Custodian or the Indenture Trustee, except taxes levied or assessed against the Issuer, and claims against the Issuer in respect of indemnification, which taxes and claims in respect of indemnification against the Issuer are expressly stated to be for the account of the Receivables Seller). The fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Custodian, the Lockbox Bank (and any fees under the Lockbox Agreement) and the Independent Accountants shall be paid from Available Funds pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer shall not be the Receivables Seller, a successor to the

15



Receivables Seller as Servicer including the Master Servicer permitted by Section 8.3 shall not be liable for taxes levied or assessed against the Issuer or claims against the Issuer in respect of indemnification.

        SECTION 4.9.    Servicer's Certificate.    No later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver (e-mail or facsimile delivery being acceptable) to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Majority Noteholder a Servicer's Certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer containing among other things, (i) all information necessary to enable the Indenture Trustee to make any withdrawal and deposit required by Section 2.10(c) of the Indenture and to make the distributions required by Section 2.10(c) of the Indenture, (ii) a listing of all Purchased Receivables and Administrative Receivables purchased during the related Collection Period, identifying the Receivables so purchased, and (iii) all information necessary to enable the Master Servicer to reconcile and recalculate the following sections of the Servicer's Certificate: the Monthly Period Receivables Principal Balance Calculation Section, the Reconciliation of Collection Account Section, the Statistical Data (Current and Historical) Section and the Delinquency Section. Receivables purchased by the Servicer or by the Receivables Seller during the related Collection Period and each Receivable which became a Liquidated Receivable or which was paid in full during the related Collection Period shall be identified by account number (as set forth in the Schedule of Receivables). In addition to the information set forth in the preceding sentence, the Servicer's Certificate shall also contain the following information: (a) whether any Event of Default has occurred as of such Determination Date; and (b) whether any Event of Default that may have occurred as of a prior Determination Date is deemed cured as of such Determination Date.

In each case, such access shall be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours. 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 as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

        SECTION 4.13.    Monthly Tape.    On or before the Determination Date, of each month, the Servicer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Master Servicer and each Noteholder a computer tape and a diskette (or any other electronic transmission acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer) (the "Monthly Tape") in a format acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer containing the information with respect to the Receivables as of last day of the related Collection Period necessary for preparation of the Servicer's Certificate relating to the immediately preceding Collection Period and necessary to review the application of collections as provided in Section 5.3.

17



distributions with respect to the next succeeding Payment Date. In the event that the Master Servicer and the Servicer are unable to reconcile discrepancies with respect to a Servicer's Certificate by the next succeeding Payment Date, the Servicer shall cause the Independent Accountants, at the Servicer's expense, to audit the Servicer's Certificate and, prior to the last day of the month after the month in which such Servicer's Certificate was delivered, reconcile the discrepancies. The effect, if any, of such reconciliation shall be reflected in the Servicer's Certificate for such next succeeding Determination Date. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event the Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer its Collection Records and its Monthly Records within 15 days after demand therefor and a computer tape containing as of the close of business on the date of demand all of the data maintained by the Servicer in computer format in connection with servicing the Receivables.

The Majority Noteholder shall give written notice at least 15 Business Days prior to the end of the related calendar quarter that such term will be extended for an additional quarter. Each such notice (a "Servicer Extension Notice") shall be delivered by the Majority Noteholder to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer. If no Servicer Extension Notice is given 15 Business Days prior to the end of the related calendar quarter, the Servicer acknowledges that its rights and obligations as Servicer hereunder shall automatically terminate at the end of the then current calendar quarter.

        SECTION 4.15.    Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Policy.    The Servicer has obtained, and shall continue to maintain in full force and effect, a Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Policy of a type and in such amount as is customary for servicers engaged in the business of servicing automobile receivables, and will provide a copy thereof to the Indenture Trustee.

        SECTION 4.16.    Dispositions.    (a) On or after the Facility Termination Date, the Majority Noteholder may, in its sole discretion, and from time to time, require that the Issuer effect Dispositions in accordance with this Agreement, including in accordance with this Section 4.16.

        (b)    In consideration of the consideration received from the Depositor under the Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement, the Receivables Seller hereby agrees and covenants that in connection with each Disposition it shall effect the following:

            (i)    make such representations and warranties concerning the Receivables as of the "cut-off date" of the related Disposition to the Disposition Participants as may be necessary to effect the Disposition and such additional representations and warranties as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of any of the Disposition Participants, to effect such Disposition; provided, that, to the extent that the Receivables Seller has at the time of the Disposition actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances that would render any of such representations and warranties materially false or misleading, the Receivables Seller may notify the Disposition Participants of such facts or circumstances and, in such event, shall have no obligation to make such materially false or misleading representation and warranty;

            (ii)    supply such information, opinions of counsel, letters from law and/or accounting firms and other documentation and certificates regarding the Receivables and related matters as any Disposition Participant shall reasonably request to effect a Disposition and enter into such indemnification agreements customary for such transaction relating to or in connection with the Disposition as the Disposition Participants may reasonably require;

            (iii)    make itself available for and engage in good faith consultation with the Disposition Participants concerning information to be contained in any document, agreement, private

18



    placement memorandum, or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the Receivables Seller or the Receivables in connection with a Disposition and shall use reasonable efforts to compile any information and prepare any reports and certificates that, in the reasonable judgment of the Disposition Participants, are suitable for inclusion in such documentation and shall convey such information, reports and certificates to the Disposition Participants in a form reasonably requested by such Disposition Participants;

            (iv)    to implement the foregoing and to otherwise effect a Disposition, enter into, or arrange for its Affiliates to enter into insurance and indemnity agreements, underwriting or placement agreements, servicing agreements, purchase agreements and any other documentation upon terms which may reasonably be required of or reasonably deemed appropriate by the Disposition Participants in order to effect a Disposition; and

            (v)    take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing.

        (c)    The Issuer shall effect Dispositions at the direction of the Majority Noteholder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Basic Documents. In connection therewith, the Issuer agrees to assist the Receivables Seller in such Dispositions and accordingly it shall, at the request and direction of the Majority Noteholder:

            (ii)    deposit the cash Disposition Proceeds into the Note Payment Account for application pursuant to Section 2.10(c)of the Indenture;

            (iii)    to the extent that a Securitization creates any Retained Securities, to accept such Retained Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and sell or retain such Retained Securities at the direction of the Majority Noteholder; and

            (iv)    take such further actions, including executing and delivering documents, certificates and agreements, as may be reasonably necessary to effect such Dispositions.

        (d)    The Servicer hereby covenants that it will take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to effect Dispositions as the Disposition Participants may request and direct, including without limitation providing the Receivables Seller such information as may be required to make representations and warranties required hereunder, and covenants that it will make such representations and warranties regarding its servicing of the Receivables hereunder as of the Cut-off Date of the related Disposition as reasonably required by the Disposition Participants.

        (e)    Except as otherwise expressly set forth under this Section 4.16, the parties' rights and obligations under this Section 4.16 shall continue notwithstanding the occurrence of an Event of Default.

        (f)    The Disposition Participants (and the Majority Noteholder to the extent directing the Disposition Participants) shall be independent contractors to the Issuer and shall have no fiduciary obligations to the Issuer or any of its Affiliates. In that connection, the Disposition Participants shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith and shall not be liable with respect to any action they take or omit to take in good faith in the performance of their duties.

19


        (g) For the avoidance of doubt, the Noteholders shall not have the right to direct Dispositions prior to the Facility Termination Date.

        SECTION 5.1.    Establishment of Trust Accounts.    

    (a)    (i) The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, shall establish and maintain in its own name an Eligible Deposit Account (the "Collection Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders. The Collection Account shall initially be established with the Indenture Trustee.

            (ii) The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, shall establish and maintain in its own name an Eligible Deposit Account (the "Note Payment Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders. The Note Payment Account shall initially be established with the Indenture Trustee.

            (iii) The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, shall establish and maintain in its own name an Eligible Deposit Account (the "Collateral Account"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders. The Collateral Account shall initially be established with the Indenture Trustee. There shall be deposited to the Collateral Account any amount delivered by the Issuer to the holder of the Collateral Account that the Issuer designates in writing to such holder (with a copy to the Majority Noteholder) to be deposited in the Collateral Account.

        (b) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Note Payment Account and the Collateral Account (collectively, the "Trust Accounts") and the Lockbox Accounts shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee (or any custodian with respect to funds on deposit in any such account) in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Majority Noteholder (pursuant to standing instructions or otherwise). All such Eligible Investments shall be held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. Funds on deposit in any 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 following Payment Date.

        (d) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any of the Trust Accounts resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee's negligence or bad faith or its failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms.

        (e) If (i) the Majority Noteholder shall have failed to give investment directions in writing for any funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts to the Indenture Trustee by 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuer and Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day; or (ii) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the

20


Notes shall not have been declared due and payable, or, if such Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default, amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied as if there had not been such a declaration; then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Trust Accounts in the investment described in clause (g) of the definition of Eligible Investments.

        (f) (i) The Indenture Trustee 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 and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Owner Trust Estate. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trust Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. If, at any time, any of the Trust Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee shall within five Business Days establish a new Trust Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Trust Account.

            (ii) With respect to the Trust Account Property, the Indenture Trustee agrees that:

              (A) any Trust Account Property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in the Eligible Deposit Accounts; and, except as otherwise provided herein, each such Eligible Deposit Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

              (B) any Trust Account Property that constitutes Physical Property shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (a) of the definition of "Delivery" and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Indenture Trustee or a financial intermediary (as such term is defined in Section 8-313(4) of the UCC) acting solely for the Indenture Trustee;

              (C) any Trust Account Property that is a book-entry security held through the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Federal book-entry regulations shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (b) of the definition of "Delivery" and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued book-entry registration of such Trust Account Property as described in such paragraph; and

              (D) any Trust Account Property that is an "uncertificated security" under Article 8 of the UCC and that is not governed by clause (C) above shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (c) of the definition of "Delivery" and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued registration of the Indenture Trustee's (or its nominee's) ownership of such security.

        (g) Reserved.

        (h) The Indenture Trustee acknowledges that, pursuant to the provisions of a Hedge Agreement, the Hedge Counterparty may be required to post collateral with the Indenture Trustee to secure the Hedge Counterparty's obligations under the Hedge Agreement. The Indenture Trustee agrees to hold such collateral in the Collection Account or a sub-account thereof. The Indenture Trustee further agrees to follow such written instructions relating to the administration of, and transfers from such account, as may be delivered by the Servicer (unless such instructions are revoked by the Majority Noteholder).

        SECTION 5.2.    Certain Reimbursements to the Servicer.    The Servicer will be entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 2.10(c) of the Indenture from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to a Collection 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 Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.10(c) of the Indenture upon certification by the Servicer of such amounts and the provision of such information to the Indenture Trustee and the Majority Noteholder as may be necessary to verify the accuracy of such certification; provided,

21


however, that the Servicer must provide such clarification and request and receive such reimbursement within 12 months of such mistaken deposit, posting, or returned check. In the event that the Majority Noteholder notifies the Servicer within 12 months of such reimbursement that it has not received evidence satisfactory to it of the Servicer's entitlement to reimbursement pursuant to this Section, the Majority Noteholder may give the Indenture Trustee notice in writing to such effect, following receipt of which the Indenture Trustee shall not make a distribution to the Servicer in respect of such amount pursuant to Section 2.10(c) of the Indenture, or if the Servicer prior thereto has been reimbursed pursuant to Section 2.10(c) of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall withhold such amounts from amounts otherwise distributable to the Servicer on the next succeeding Payment Date. The Servicer will additionally be entitled to receive from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, pursuant to such provisions of this Agreement, with respect to a Collection Period any amounts paid by Obligors that were collected in the Lockbox Account but that do not relate to principal and interest payments due on the Receivables.

        SECTION 5.3.    Application of Collections.    All collections for the Collection Period shall be applied by the Servicer as follows:

        With respect to each Simple Interest Receivable (other than a Purchased Receivable), payments by or on behalf of the Obligor shall be applied to interest and principal in accordance with the Simple Interest Method. With respect to each Pre-Computed Receivable, payments by or on behalf of the Obligor shall be applied to interest and principal in accordance with the terms thereof.

        SECTION 5.5.    Remittances.    On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall deposit amounts in the Collection Account, to the extent of Available Funds, to the Note Payment Account for remittance by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 2.10(c) of the Indenture.

Notes or Certificates so owned by the Receivables Seller or such Affiliate shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of the Basic Documents, without preference, priority, or distinction as among all of the Notes or Certificates; provided, however, that any Notes or Certificates owned by the Receivables Seller or any Affiliate thereof, during the time such Notes or Certificates are owned by such party, shall be without voting rights for any purpose set forth in the Basic Documents.

        (b) The Master Servicer shall not merge or consolidate with any other person, convey, transfer or lease substantially all its assets as an entirety to another Person, or permit any other Person to become the successor to the Master Servicer's business unless, after the merger, consolidation, conveyance, transfer, lease or succession, the successor or surviving entity shall be capable of fulfilling the duties of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement and, if the surviving entity shall not be the Master Servicer or the debt rating of the surviving entity from Standard & Poor's or Moody's would be below investment grade as a result of such transaction, shall be acceptable to the Majority Noteholder. Any corporation (i) into which the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, (iii) which acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of the assets of the Master Servicer, or (iv) succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, in any of the foregoing cases shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and, whether or not such assumption agreement is executed, shall be the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to release the Master Servicer from any obligation.

        SECTION 7.5.    Limitation on Liability of Servicer, Master Servicer and Others.    Neither the Servicer, the Master Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer or Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Issuer or the Noteholders, except as provided in this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer, the Master Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of a breach of this Agreement or willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (excluding errors in judgment) in the performance of duties; provided further that this provision shall not affect any liability to indemnify the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee for costs, taxes, expenses, claims, liabilities, losses or damages paid by the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, in their individual capacities. The Servicer, the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer or Master Servicer may

30



rely in good faith on the written advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

        SECTION 7.6.    Delegation of Duties.    The Servicer may delegate duties under this Agreement to an Affiliate of the Servicer with the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Majority Noteholder. The Servicer also may at any time perform through sub-contractors the specific duties of (i) repossession of Financed Vehicles, (ii) tracking Financed Vehicles' insurance and (iii) pursuing the collection of deficiency balances on certain Liquidated Receivables, in each case, without the consent of the Majority Noteholder and may perform other specific duties through such sub-contractors in accordance with the Servicing Standard, provided, however, that no such delegation or sub-contracting duties by the Servicer shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties. Neither the Servicer nor any party acting as Servicer hereunder shall appoint any subservicer hereunder without the prior written consent of the Majority Noteholder, the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer.

        SECTION 7.7.    Servicer and Master Servicer Not to Resign.    Subject to the provisions of Section 7.4, neither the Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as Servicer or Master Servicer except upon a determination that by reason of a change in legal requirements the performance of its duties under this Agreement would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which would have a material adverse effect on the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, and the Majority Noteholder does not elect to waive the obligations of the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, to perform the duties which render it legally unable to act or to delegate those duties to another Person. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer or Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered and acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Majority Noteholder. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until the Master Servicer or an entity acceptable to the Majority Noteholder shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until, an entity acceptable to the Majority Noteholder shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer; provided, however, that (i) in the event a successor Master Servicer is not appointed within 60 days after the Master Servicer has given notice of its resignation and has provided the Opinion of Counsel required by this Section, the Master Servicer may petition a court for its removal and (ii) the Master Servicer may resign with the written consent of the Majority Noteholder.

Such expense shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 2.10(c) of the Indenture. The terminated Servicer shall grant the Indenture Trustee, the successor Servicer and the Majority Noteholder reasonable access to the terminated Servicer's premises.

        SECTION 8.3.    Appointment of Successor.

The terminated Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with any successor Master Servicer appointed by the Majority Noteholder in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the terminated Master Servicer under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the delivery to the successor Master Servicer of all documents, records and electronic information related to the Receivables in the possession of the Master Servicer. Expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in respect of the foregoing sentence shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 2.10(c) of the Indenture.

37



        This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto, with the consent of the Majority Noteholder 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 Noteholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on Receivables or distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all the outstanding Notes of each class affected thereby.

        It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Majority Noteholder pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of the Majority Noteholder provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of any action by the Majority Noteholder shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.

        Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Majority Noteholder and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 11.2(h)(1) has been delivered.

Promptly upon such filing, the Receivables Seller, Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, stating either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest.

SCHEDULE C

SERVICING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Note: Applicable Time Periods Will Vary by State

Compliance with state collection laws is required of all the Servicer's Collection Personnel. Additionally, the Servicer has chosen to follow the guidelines of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).

The Collection Process

The Servicer mails each customer a monthly billing statement 16 to 20 days before payment is due.

A.
All accounts are issued to the Computer Assisted Collection System (CACS) at 5 days delinquent or at such other dates of delinquency as determined by historical payment patterns of the account.

B.
The CACS segregates accounts into two groups: loans less than 30 days delinquent and those over 30 days delinquent.

C.
Loans delinquent for less than 30 days are then further segregated into two groups: accounts that have good phone numbers and those that do not.

D.
Loans with good phone numbers are transferred to the Davox system (the Servicer's predictive dialing system). The system automatically dials the phone number related to a delinquent account. When a connection is made, the account is then routed to the next available account representative.

E.
Loans without good phone numbers are assigned to front-end collectors.

F.
All reasonable collection efforts are made in an attempt to prevent these accounts from becoming 30+ days delinquent—this includes the use of collection letters. Collection letters may be utilized between 15th and 25th days of delinquency.

G.
When an account reaches 31 days delinquent, a collector determines if any default notification is required in the state where the debtor lives.

H.
When an account exceeds 61 days delinquent, the loan is assigned to a hard-core collector who will continue the collection effort. If the account cannot be resolved through normal collection efforts (i.e., satisfactory payment arrangements) then the account may be submitted for repossession approval. An officer must approve all repossession requests.

I.
CACS allows each collector to accurately document and update each customer file when contact (verbal or written) is made.

Repossessions

If repossession of the collateral occurs, the following steps are taken:

A.
Proper authorities are notified (if applicable).

B.
An inventory of all personal property is taken and a condition report is prepared on the vehicle.

C.
Written notification, as required by state law, is sent to the customer(s) stating their rights of redemption or reinstatement along with information on how to obtain any personal property that was in the vehicle at the time of repossession.

D.
Written request to the originating dealer for all refunds due for dealer adds is made.

E.
Collateral disposition through public or private sale, (dictated by state law), in a commercially reasonable manner, through a third-party auto auction.

F.
After the collateral is liquidated, the debtor(s) is notified in writing of the deficiency balance owed, if any.

Use of Due Date Changes

Due dates may be changed subject to the following conditions:

A.
The account is contractually current or will be brought current with the due date change.

B.
Due date changes cannot exceed the total of 15 days over the life of the contract.

C.
The first installment payment has been paid in full.

D.
Only one due date change in a twelve month period.

E.
An officer must approve any exceptions to the above stated policy.

Use of Payment Deferments

A payment deferral is offered to customers who have the desire and capacity to make future payments but who have encountered temporary financial difficulties, with management approval.

A.
Without prior approval, minimum of six payments have been made on the account and a minimum of nine payments have been made since the most recent deferment (if any).

B.
The account will be brought current with the deferment, but not paid ahead, without management approval.

C.
A deferment fee is collected on all transactions.

D.
No more than eight total payments may be deferred over the life of the loan, without management approval.

E.
No single payment deferral may defer payment for more than two payment periods.

An officer must approve any exceptions to the above stated policy.

Charge-Offs

It is the Servicer's policy that any account that is not successfully recovered by 120 days delinquent is submitted to an officer for approval and charge-off.

It is the Servicer's policy to carry all Chapter 13 bankruptcy accounts until 120 days delinquent. A partial charge-off is taken for the unsecured portion of the account. On fully reaffirmed Chapter 7 bankruptcy accounts, the accounts can be deferred current at the time of discharge.

Deficiency Collections

Accounts are assigned to third party collection agencies for deficiency collections.
