Subject to the foregoing, and in consideration of the payment of the Subsequent Seller Property Purchase Price, the Seller agrees to convey, assign, sell and transfer without recourse, except as 23 set forth in this Agreement, to the Trust all of its right, title and interest in and to: (i) the Dealer Loans listed on the schedule delivered to the Class A Insurer, the Servicer and the Trust Collateral Agent on each Distribution Date during the Revolving Period; (ii) all rights under the Dealer Agreements related thereto (other than the Excluded Dealer Agreement Rights), including Credit Acceptance's right to service the Dealer Loans and the related Contracts and receive the related collection fee and receive reimbursement of certain recovery and repossession expenses, in accordance with the terms of the Dealer Agreements; (iii) Collections (other than Dealer Collections) after the applicable Cut-off Date; (iv) a security interest in each Contract securing each Dealer Loan; (v) all records and documents relating to the Dealer Loans and the Contracts; (vi) all security interests purporting to secure payment of the Dealer Loans; (vii) all security interests purporting to secure payment of each Contract (including a security interest in each Financed Vehicle); (viii) all guarantees, insurance (including insurance insuring the priority or perfection of any Contract) or other agreements or arrangements securing the Contracts; (ix) the Seller's rights under the Contribution Agreement; and (x) all Proceeds of the foregoing (the "Subsequent Seller Property"). On each Distribution Date during the Revolving Period on which the Issuer purchases Subsequent Seller Property, the Issuer shall deliver to the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Class A Insurer a supplement to Schedule A hereto listing the additional Dealer Loans purchased on such Distribution Date, and the Dealer Agreements and Contracts related thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the term "Subsequent Seller Property" with respect to any Dealer Loan includes all rights arising after the end of the Revolving Period under such Dealer Loans which rights are attributable to advances made under such Dealer Loans as the result of Contracts being added after the last day of the last full Collection Period during the Revolving Period to the identifiable group of Contracts to which such Dealer Loan relates. (b) The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute an "Automatic Amortization Event": (i) there is a draw on the Reserve Account; (ii) a Servicer Default occurs; (iii) an Indenture Event of Default occurs; (iv) on any Distribution Date, after giving effect to all purchases of Dealer Loans on such date, the Adjusted Collateral Amount is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, and such deficiency continues for two (2) or more Business Days; (v) Collections for any two (2) consecutive Collection Periods are less than 75.0% of Forecasted Collections for such Collection Periods; or (vi) on any Distribution Date, after giving effect to the purchase of additional Dealer Loans on such date, the amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Account is greater than 5.0% of the Adjusted Collateral Amount, and such excess continues for two (2) or more Business Days. 24 (c) The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute a "Discretionary Amortization Event" only if after any applicable grace period either the Class A Insurer, or if a Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, upon written notice to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer and the Trust Collateral Agent, declares that an Early Amortization Event has occurred: (i) the Issuer fails to make a payment or deposit when required under this Agreement or within the applicable grace period; (ii) the Issuer fails to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement and that failure continues unremedied for 30 days after written notice of such failure to the Issuer by the Class A Insurer, or if a Class A Insurer Default has occurred, the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of Majority Noteholders; (iii) any representation or warranty made by the Issuer in this Agreement or in any certificate or document that the Issuer is required to deliver to the Indenture Trustee is incorrect in any material respect for 30 days after written notice of that breach to the Issuer by the Class A Insurer, of if a Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee at the direction of the Majority Noteholders; (iv) the Indenture Trustee does not have a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Trust Property, or the Issuer or Credit Acceptance or an affiliate of Credit Acceptance makes that assertion; (v) there is filed against Credit Acceptance, the Seller or the Issuer: (a) a notice of federal tax lien from the IRS, (b) a notice of lien from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation under Section 412(n) of the tax code or Section 302(f) of ERISA for a failure to make a required installment or other payment to a pension plan to which either of those sections applies or (c) a notice of any other lien that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, operations or financial condition of the Issuer or the business, operations or financial condition of Credit Acceptance and the Seller; (vi) one or more judgments or decrees are entered against the Seller or Credit Acceptance involving in the aggregate liability, not paid or fully covered by insurance, of $100,000 in the case of the Seller, and $5,000,000 in the case of Credit Acceptance, or more and those judgments or decrees have not been vacated, discharged or stayed within 30 days from their entry; or (vii) any of the Basic Documents ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect other than in accordance with its terms. (d) If a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge, or the Indenture Trustee shall receive written notice from the Class A Insurer, or, if a Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Majority Noteholders, that an Early 25 Amortization Event has occurred, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly issue written notice of such Early Amortization Event to the Servicer, the Class A Insurer, the Backup Servicer, the Rating Agency, the Trust Collateral Agent and each of the Class A Noteholders, which notice shall advise them of the nature of the Early Amortization Event, to the extent actually known by the Indenture Trustee, and the date of the occurrence thereof. (e) On the first Distribution Date during the Amortization Period, any amounts remaining on deposit in the Principal Collection Account shall be deposited into the Collection Account and treated as Available Funds.

(c) It is the intention of the Seller that (i) the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Seller Property from the Seller to the Trust and (ii) the beneficial interest in and title to the Seller Property shall not be part of the Seller's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Seller Property is held to be property of the Seller, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security interest in the Seller Property, then it is intended that: (i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC; (ii) The conveyances provided for in Section 2.01 and Section 2.02 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller, and the Seller hereby grants, to the Trust a security interest in all of its right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Seller Property, to secure such indebtedness and the performance of the obligations of the Seller hereunder; (iii) The possession by the Trust, or the Servicer as the Trust's agent, of the Dealer Agreements, Dealer Loans and Contract Files and any other property which constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured party" or possession by the purchaser or a person 26 designated by such purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC; and (iv) Notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trust for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under the UCC.

ARTICLE IV ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF DEALER LOANS AND CONTRACTS SECTION 4.01. Appointment; Duties of Servicer. (a) Servicing; Termination. The Seller, the Trust, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Class A Insurer hereby appoint Credit Acceptance as servicer hereunder and Credit Acceptance hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to manage, collect and administer each of the Dealer Loans as Servicer. Credit Acceptance shall be retained as Servicer for an initial twelve (12) month term commencing on the Closing Date. Upon the expiration of such twelve (12) month term, the Class A Insurer, upon written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Servicer, the Rating Agency and the Backup Servicer, may at its option renew the term of Credit Acceptance as Servicer for a subsequent term of three (3) months. Upon the expiration of any three month term, the Class A Insurer, upon written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Servicer, the Rating Agency and the Backup Servicer, may at its option, renew the term of Credit Acceptance as Servicer for an additional three (3) month term. If the Class A Insurer does not renew any such servicing term in writing, the servicing term of Credit Acceptance shall automatically expire. Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Class A Insurer shall have the rights set forth in Section 8.01 hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of Section 4.01(a) shall not apply to the Backup Servicer after it has become the successor Servicer. (b) Standard of Care; Types of Duties. The Servicer shall manage, service, administer, and make collections on the Dealer Loans and the Contracts with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the servicers in the retail automobile financing industry exercise with respect to all comparable receivables that they service for themselves or others and the same degree of care that the Servicer exercises with respect to any comparable dealer loan or automobile contracts that it holds for its own account. The Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Dealers and of Obligors on such Contracts, investigating delinquencies, sending payment statements or coupons to Dealers and Obligors, reporting tax information to Dealers and Obligors, accounting for collections, and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Trust Collateral Agent with respect to distributions. The Servicer shall follow prudent standards, policies, and procedures in performing its duties as Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby granted a limited power of attorney by the Trust Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Trust, the Class A Noteholders, or the Trust Collateral Agent or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such Dealer Loans and Contracts or to the Financed Vehicles securing such Contracts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Dealer Loan or a Contract, the Trust Collateral Agent (in the case of a Dealer Loan other than a Purchased Loan) shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection, 33 such Dealer Loan or Contract to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not make the Seller, the Trust, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee or the Class A Insurer a party to any such legal proceeding without such party's written consent. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Dealer Loan or a Contract on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Dealer Loan or Contract, the Trust Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have automatically assigned such Dealer Loan or Contract to the Servicer, solely for the purpose of collection. The Trust Collateral Agent shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents prepared by the Servicer reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer, at its expense, shall obtain on behalf of the Trust all licenses, if any, required by the laws of any jurisdiction to be held by the Trust in connection with ownership of the Dealer Loans and its security interest in the Contracts, and shall make all filings and pay all fees as may be required in connection therewith during the term hereof. The Seller shall assist the Backup Servicer, as successor Servicer, in connection with any reports related to distributions. (c) Duties with Respect to the Basic Documents. Credit Acceptance shall perform all its duties and, unless otherwise specified, the administrative duties of the Issuer under the Basic Documents. In addition, Credit Acceptance shall consult with the Indenture Trustee and, so long as no Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Class A Insurer, as Credit Acceptance deems appropriate regarding the duties of the Issuer under the Basic Documents. Credit Acceptance shall monitor the performance of the Trust and shall advise the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee, so long as no Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Class A Insurer, when action is necessary to comply with the Trust's duties under the Basic Documents. The Seller shall execute and deliver all Issuer Orders and Officer's Certificates required by the Trust under the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Backup Servicer, as successor Servicer, shall not have an obligation to perform such duties set forth in this Section 4.01(c). (d) Duties with Respect to the Trust. (i) In addition to the duties of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents, the Servicer shall perform such calculations, shall execute and deliver all Issuer Orders and Officer's Certificates required of the Issuer under the Basic Documents, and shall prepare for execution by the Trust or the Owner Trustee or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Trust or the Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or under state and federal tax and securities laws and shall take all appropriate action that it is the duty of the Trust to take pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 5.1 (with respect to the preparation and filing of tax returns) of the Trust Agreement. (ii) In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its other obligations under this Agreement, the Servicer may enter into transactions with or otherwise deal with any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its obligations that the terms of any such transaction or dealings shall be in 34 accordance with any directions received from the Trust and shall be, in the Servicer's opinion, no less favorable to the Trust in any material respect. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, the Seller shall assist the Backup Servicer in performing the duties set forth in this Section 4.01(d). (e) Records. The Servicer shall maintain appropriate books of account and records relating to its duties performed under Section 4.01(c) and (d) hereof, which books of account and records shall be accessible for inspection and copy by the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Class A Insurer or the Trust Collateral Agent at any time during normal business hours at its offices and in a reasonable manner. (f) Additional Information to be Furnished to the Trust. The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Class A Insurer from time to time such additional information regarding the Trust or the Basic Documents as the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Class A Insurer shall reasonably request. (g) Servicer as Independent Contractor. All services, duties and responsibilities of the Servicer under this Agreement shall be performed and carried out by the Servicer as an independent contractor for the benefit of the Trust and the Class A Insurer, and none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to make, authorize or appoint the Servicer as agent or representative of the Seller, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trust, the Class A Insurer or any Class A Noteholder except as provided in Section 3.03 herein. SECTION 4.02. Collection and Application of Payments on the Dealer Loans and Contracts. The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to collect all amounts due under the Dealer Loans and Contracts from time to time, all in accordance with Applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Collection Guidelines, it being understood that there shall be no recourse to the Servicer with regard to the Dealer Loans and Contracts except as otherwise provided herein and in the other Basic Documents. In performing its duties as Servicer, the Servicer shall use the same degree of care and attention it employs with respect to similar contracts and loans which it services for itself or others. Each of the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Class A Insurer hereby appoints as its agent the Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to the terms hereof, to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Trust Property. The Servicer shall hold in trust for the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Class A Insurer all Records and all Collections (other than Dealer Collections) and any other amounts it receives in respect of the Trust Property. In the event that a successor Servicer is appointed, the outgoing Servicer shall deliver to the successor Servicer and the successor Servicer shall hold in trust for the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Class A Insurer all records which evidence or relate to all or any part of the Trust Property. 35 SECTION 4.03. Realization Upon Contracts. On behalf of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, and the Class A Insurer, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, in accordance with the Collection Guidelines and prudent servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed Vehicle securing any Contract as to which the Servicer shall have determined eventual payment in full is unlikely, as soon as practicable after the Servicer makes such determination. The Servicer shall follow such prudent practices and procedures as would be deemed prudent in the servicing of comparable receivables, consistent with the standard of care required by Section 4.01(b) which may include reasonable efforts to sell the Financed Vehicle at public or private sale. If the Backup Servicer has become the Servicer, it shall be entitled to receive Repossession Expenses in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof. SECTION 4.04. Physical Damage Insurance. The Servicer, in accordance with prudent servicing procedures, shall require that each Obligor on a Contract shall have obtained physical damage insurance covering the Financed Vehicle as of the date of execution of the Contract, as may be required in accordance with the Credit Guidelines. SECTION 4.05. Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer shall take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Contract in the related Financed Vehicle, including, without limitation, taking such steps as are reasonably necessary to maintain the Servicer as noted lienholder on each certificate of title relating to a Financed Vehicle in all states where such notation is a means of perfection. The Servicer shall take such steps as are necessary to reperfect such security interest on behalf of the Trust in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Contract to the Indenture Trustee is insufficient without a notation on 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 Indenture Trustee, the parties hereto agree that the Originator's designation as the secured party on the certificate of title is, with respect to each secured party, as applicable, in its capacity as agent of the Indenture Trustee. The Backup Servicer as successor Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for all expenses incurred in connection with its duties under this Section 4.05. SECTION 4.06. Covenants of Servicer. (a) Affirmative Covenants. From the date hereof until the Stated Final Maturity Date or, if earlier, the date the Class A Notes are paid in full: (i) Compliance with Law.

(ix) ERISA. So long as the Seller or the Issuer are ERISA Affiliates of the Servicer, the Servicer shall comply in all material respects with the provisions of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, and all other applicable laws, except where such non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect with respect to the Servicer and its ERISA Affiliates or with respect to the Trust Property. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer shall not, and shall not permit its ERISA Affiliates to: (i) engage in any non-exempt prohibited transaction (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code Section 4975 or ERISA Section 406) with respect to any Benefit Plan for which the Servicer and its ERISA Affiliates would have a material liability; (ii) suffer to exist any accumulated funding deficiency as defined in Section 301(a) of ERISA and Section 412(a) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to any Benefit Plan in an amount exceeding $500,000 or (iii) terminate any Benefit Plan or Multiemployer Plan if such termination would result in any material liability for which the Seller or Issuer would be liable as ERISA Affiliates.

Unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the first full Collection Period following such actual knowledge or receipt of notice by an Authorized Officer of the Servicer, the Servicer shall, as of the Business Day preceding the Determination Date relating to the respective Collection Period, make payments with respect to any nonconforming Dealer Loan that is materially and adversely affected by such breach or which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Class A Insurer, and shall prepay in full any nonconforming Contract that is materially and adversely affected by such breach or which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Class A Insurer; provided, however, if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, it shall not have any obligation to make payments with respect to any Dealer Loans or prepay any Contracts. In consideration of the making of payments with respect to such Dealer Loan or such Contract, the Servicer shall remit the Purchase Amount in the manner specified in Section 5.04 hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) during the Revolving Period, such payments shall not be required if the Adjusted Collateral Amount is equal to or greater than the Minimum Collateral Amount; and (ii) during the Amortization Period, the Servicer's obligation to make such payments may be waived with the prior written consent of the Class A Insurer. The Trust Collateral Agent shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation or inquiry as to the occurrence of any condition requiring payments to be made with respect to any Dealer Loan or Contract pursuant to this Section. Any Contract which is subject to a payment in accordance with this Section shall be deemed to be an Ineligible Contract. 41 SECTION 4.08. Servicer Fee. The Servicer, including any successor Servicer, shall be entitled to payment of the Servicing Fee as defined herein, which shall be payable in accordance with Section 5.08(a) hereof. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent be responsible for the Servicing Fee or for any differential between the Servicing Fee and the amount necessary to induce a successor Servicer to assume the obligations of Servicer hereunder. SECTION 4.09. Servicer's Certificate. (a) By the Determination Date in each calendar month, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Class A Insurer, the Rating Agency, the Backup Servicer, and Wachovia Securities, LLC, a Servicer's Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto containing all information necessary to make the transfers, deposits and distributions pursuant to Sections 5.04 through 5.11 hereof for the Collection Period immediately preceding the date of such Servicer's Certificate and as of the last day of such Collection Period, and all information necessary for the Trust Collateral Agent to make available statements to Class A Noteholders and the Class A Insurer pursuant to Section 5.11 hereof. Upon receipt of the Servicer's Certificate, the Trust Collateral Agent shall conclusively rely (and shall be fully protected in so relying) on the information contained therein for the purposes of making distributions and allocations as provided for herein. Each Servicer's Certificate shall be certified by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer. The Seller shall assist the Trust Collateral Agent with its obligation to make distributions and allocations. Dealer Loans purchased by the Trust shall be identified by the Servicer by the Dealer's account number and certain other information with respect to such Dealer Loan (as specified in Schedule A to this Agreement). (b) No later than 9:00 A.M. New York time on the third (3rd) Business Day of each calendar month (the "Servicer's Data Date"), the Servicer shall send to the Backup Servicer a Computer Tape, detailing the payments on the Dealer Loans during the prior Collection Period (the "Servicer's Data File"). Such Computer Tape shall be in the form and have the specifications as may be agreed to between the Servicer and the Backup Servicer from time to time. (c) No later than the end of the second (2nd) Business Day prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall furnish to the Backup Servicer the Servicer's Certificate related to the prior Collection Period. The Backup Servicer shall review the information contained in the Servicer's Certificate against the information on the Servicer's Data File, on an aggregate basis. No later than three (3) Business Days after the Backup Servicer's receipt of such Servicer's Certificate, the Backup Servicer shall notify the Servicer, the Class A Insurer, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee of any inconsistencies between the Servicer's Certificate and the Servicer's Data File and the Backup Servicer and the Servicer shall attempt to reconcile such inconsistencies; provided, however, in the absence of a reconciliation, the Servicer's Certificate shall control for the purpose of calculations and distributions with respect to the related Distribution Date. If the Backup Servicer and the Servicer are unable to reconcile discrepancies with respect to a Servicer's Certificate by the related Distribution Date, the Servicer shall cause the Independent Accountants, at the Servicer's expense, to audit the Servicer's Certificate and, prior to the third Business Day, but in no event later than the fifth 42 calendar day, of the following month, reconcile the discrepancies. The effect, if any, of such reconciliation shall be reflected in the Servicer's Certificate for such next Determination Date. The Backup Servicer shall only review the information provided by the Servicer in the Servicer's Certificate and in the Servicer's Data File and its obligation to report any inconsistencies shall be limited to those determinable from such information. The Backup Servicer and the Servicer shall attempt to reconcile any such material inconsistencies and/or to furnish any such omitted information and the Servicer shall amend the Servicer's Certificate to reflect the Backup Servicer's computations or to include the omitted information. The Backup Servicer shall in no event be liable to the Servicer with respect to any failure of the Backup Servicer to discover or detect any errors, inconsistencies, or omissions by the Servicer with respect to the Servicer's Certificate and Servicer's Data File except as specifically set forth in this Section. (d) The Servicer shall provide to the Backup Servicer, or its agent, monthly, or as frequently as may be otherwise requested, information on the Dealer Loans and related Contracts sufficient to enable the Backup Servicer to assume the responsibilities as successor Servicer and collect on the Contracts. (e) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Backup Servicer may accept and conclusively rely on all accounting, records and work of the Servicer without audit, and the Backup Servicer shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of the Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy or omission (collectively, "Errors") exists in any information received from the Servicer, and such Errors should cause or materially contribute to the Backup Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively, "Continued Errors"), the Backup Servicer shall have no liability for such Continued Errors; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Backup Servicer against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in discovering or correcting any Error or in the performance of its or their duties hereunder or under this Agreement. In the event the Backup Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, the Backup Servicer shall, with the prior consent of the Class A Insurer, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and prevent future Continued Errors. The Backup Servicer shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended from the Servicer. (f) The Backup Servicer and its officers, directors, employees and agent shall be indemnified by the Servicer and the Issuer, from and against all claims, damages, losses or expenses reasonably incurred by the Backup Servicer (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of claims asserted against the Backup Servicer by third parties on any matter arising out of this Agreement to the extent the act or omission giving rise to the claim accrues before the date on which the Backup Servicer assumes the duties of Servicer hereunder, except for any claims, damages, losses or expenses arising from the Backup Servicer's own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Indemnification by the Servicer and the Issuer under this Section 4.09(f) shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier removal or resignation of the Backup Servicer. 43 SECTION 4.10.

(b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Class A Insurer and to the Rating Agency, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officer's Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under Section 8.01. The Seller shall deliver to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Class A Insurer and to such Rating Agency, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officer's Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under clause (ii) of Section 8.01. The Trust Collateral Agent shall forward a copy of each Officer's Certificate so received to each Class A Noteholder. SECTION 4.11. Annual Independent Certified Public Accountant's Report. The Servicer will deliver to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, each Class A Noteholder, the Class A Insurer and the Rating Agency, on or before March 31st of each year beginning in the year 2004, a copy of a report prepared by Independent Accountants, who may also render other services to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, or to the Seller, addressed to the Board of Directors of the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Class A Insurer and dated during the current year, to the effect that such firm has examined the Servicer's policies and procedures and issued its report thereon and expressing a summary of findings (based on certain procedures performed on the documents, records and accounting records that such accountants considered appropriate under the circumstances) relating to the servicing of the Dealer Loans and the related Contracts and the administration of the Dealer Loans and the related Contracts and of the Trust during the preceding calendar year and that such servicing and administration was conducted in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such report and that such examination (1) was performed in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and (2) included tests relating to auto loans serviced for others in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (the "Program") to the extent the procedures in the Program are applicable to the servicing obligations set forth in this Agreement. 44 In the event such independent public accountants require the Trust Collateral Agent to agree to the procedures to be performed by such firm in any of the reports required to be prepared pursuant to this Section 4.11, the Servicer shall direct the Trust Collateral Agent in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Trust Collateral Agent will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Trust Collateral Agent has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures. Such report shall also indicate that the firm is independent of the Servicer and its Affiliates within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any Applicable Law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Dealers or the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. SECTION 4.13. Servicer Expenses. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to Class A Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Class A Insurer and with administering the duties of the Trust and the Issuer. If the Backup Servicer has become the Servicer, it shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all Servicer Expenses, Repossession Expenses, Reliening Expenses and Transition Expenses in accordance with Section 5.08(a) hereof. SECTION 4.14. Servicer Not to Resign as Servicer. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.03 of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except upon determination that the performance of its duties under this Agreement shall no longer be permissible under applicable law. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be communicated to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Rating Agency, the Class A Insurer and the Indenture Trustee within five (5) Business Days thereafter (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing within five (5) Business Days thereafter) and any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Class A Insurer and the Indenture Trustee concurrently with or promptly after such notice.

(a) Prior to assuming any of the Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder the Backup Servicer shall only be responsible to perform those duties specifically imposed upon it by the provisions of the Backup Servicing Agreement, and no implied obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Backup Servicer. Such duties generally relate to following the provisions herein which would permit the Backup Servicer to assume some or all of the Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder (as modified or limited herein or in the Backup Servicing Agreement) with reasonable dispatch, following notice. The Backup Servicer, prior to assuming any of the Servicer's duties hereunder, may not resign hereunder unless it arranges for a successor Backup Servicer reasonably acceptable to the Servicer, the Seller and the Class A Insurer, with not less than 30 days' notice delivered to the Class A Insurer, the Servicer and the Seller. Prior to its becoming successor Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall have only those duties and obligations imposed by it under this Agreement, and shall have no obligations or duties under any agreement to which it is not a party, including but not limited to the various agreements named herein. (b) The Backup Servicer shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur liability (financial or otherwise) in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the repayment of such funds or written indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it in writing prior to the expenditure or risk of such funds or incurrence of financial liability. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Backup Servicer, in its capacity as such, and not in its capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be liable for any obligation of the Servicer contained in this Agreement, and the parties shall look only to the Servicer to perform such obligations. (c) The Servicer shall have no liability, direct or indirect, to any party, for the acts or omissions of the Backup Servicer, whenever such acts or omissions occur whenever such liability is imposed, except as set forth in Section 4.09(f). The successor Servicer shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any predecessor Servicer. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, so long as no Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Class A Insurer shall have the right to remove the Backup Servicer for cause at any time and replace the Backup Servicer. In the event that the Class A Insurer exercises its right to remove and replace SST as Backup Servicer, SST shall have no further obligation to perform the duties of the Backup Servicer under this Agreement.

All such Eligible Investments shall be held by or on behalf of the Trust Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Class A Noteholders, the Class A Insurer and Certificateholders as their interests may appear.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trust Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trust Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Class A Noteholders, the Class A Insurer and the Certificateholders as their interests may appear. 48 (ii) With respect to any Eligible Investments held from time to time in any Trust Account, the Trust Collateral Agent agrees that: (A) any Eligible Investment that is held in deposit accounts shall be, except as otherwise provided herein, subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Trust Collateral Agent, and the Trust Collateral Agent shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto; (B) any Eligible Investment that constitutes Physical Property shall be delivered to the Trust Collateral Agent in accordance with paragraph (a) of the definition of "Delivery" and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Trust Collateral Agent or a securities intermediary (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) acting solely for the Trust Collateral Agent; (C) any Eligible Investment 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 Trust Collateral Agent, pending maturity or disposition, through continued book-entry registration of such Eligible Investment as described in such paragraph; and (D) any Eligible Investment 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 Trust Collateral Agent in accordance with paragraph (c) of the definition of "Delivery" and shall be maintained by the Trust Collateral Agent, pending maturity or disposition, through continued registration of the Trust Collateral Agent's (or its nominee's) ownership of such security. (e) The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Class A Insurer, the Trust Collateral Agent, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee, each with the prior written consent of the Class A Insurer (so long as no Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Trust Collateral Agent to make withdrawals and payments from the Trust Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer and the Trust Collateral Agent to carry out its respective duties hereunder. (f) If ratings of the unsecured and uncollateralized long-term debt obligations of the Trust Collateral Agent or its parent are lower than "AA-" by S&P and "Aa3" by Moody's, then the Servicer shall, with the Trust Collateral Agent's assistance as necessary, cause the Trust Accounts to be moved within five (5) Business Days to another institution where such Trust Accounts will be Eligible Accounts.

(a) Subject to Section 5.12 hereof, on each Distribution Date, after making all transfers and distributions required to be made on such Distribution Date by Sections 5.05 and 5.08 hereof, the Trust Collateral Agent shall (based on the information contained in the Servicer's Certificate delivered on the related Determination date) distribute all amounts on deposit in the Class A Note Distribution Account to Noteholders in respect of the Class A Notes in the following amounts and in the following order of priority: (i) to the Class A Noteholders the sum of (x) the Class A Interest Distributable Amount for such Distribution Date and (y) the Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall, if any, for such Distribution Date; and 54 (ii) after the application of clause (i) above and until the outstanding principal balance of the Class A Notes is reduced to zero, to the Holders of the Class A Notes, the Class A Principal Distributable Amount for such Distribution Date. (b) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust's payment (or allocations of income) to a Class A Noteholder, such withholding tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Class A Noteholder in accordance with this Section 5.09. The Trust Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class A Noteholders sufficient funds for the payment of any withholding tax that is legally owed by the Trust as instructed by the Servicer, in writing in a Servicer's Certificate (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trust Collateral Agent from contesting at the expense of the Seller any such withholding tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of withholding such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Class A Noteholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Class A Noteholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-US Noteholder), the Trust Collateral Agent may withhold such amounts in accordance with this clause (b). In the event that a Class A Noteholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Trust Collateral Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such Class A Noteholder in making such claim so long as such Class A Noteholder agrees to reimburse the Trust Collateral Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. The Class A Note Insurance Policy does not cover any shortfalls relating to withholding taxes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution in respect of any Class A Note (whether on the Stated Final Maturity or otherwise) will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Class A Note at the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the Note Registrar pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture. SECTION 5.10. Certificate Distribution Account. (a) On each Distribution Date, the Trust Collateral Agent shall (based on the information contained in the Servicer's Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date) distribute all amounts on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account to the Certificateholders. (b) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust's payment (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder in accordance with this Section. The Trust Collateral Agent 55 is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust as instructed in writing by the Servicer (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trust Collateral Agent from contesting, at the expense of the Seller, any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-US Certificateholder), the Trust Collateral Agent may withhold such amounts in accordance with this clause (b). In the event that a Holder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Trust Collateral Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Trust Collateral Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. (c) Distributions required to be made to Certificateholders on any Distribution Date shall be made to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Certificateholder shall have provided to the Certificate Registrar appropriate written instructions at least ten Business Days prior to such Distribution Date and such Holder's Certificates in the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than $500,000 or (ii) such Certificateholder is the Seller, or an Affiliate thereof, or, if not, by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution in respect of any Certificate (whether on the Stated Final Maturity or otherwise) will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the Certificate Registrar pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Trust Agreement. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all transfers of funds between accounts may occur on the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date related to such transfer; all distributions from accounts shall occur on the Distribution Date. SECTION 5.11. Statements to Certificateholders and Noteholders. On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer (provided, that in the event the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, the Seller shall assist the Backup Servicer in the performance of its obligations under this Section 5.11) shall provide to the Trust Collateral Agent the Servicer's Certificate (with a copy to the Rating Agency).

Upon sending or receiving any such notice, the Trust Collateral Agent shall promptly send a copy thereof to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Rating Agency, the Class A Insurer and to each Class A Noteholder. Within 30 days after the receipt by the Backup Servicer of such written notice (if such notices relates to terminating the Servicer) and subject to Section 8.02(a)), all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Class A Notes or the Dealer Loans or Contracts or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer or such successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Backup Servicer is hereby 71 authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Dealer Loans and the Contracts and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer and the Backup Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the Backup Servicer or the successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received with respect to a Dealer Loan or related Contract, and the related accounts and records maintained by the Servicer. All Transition Expenses shall be paid by the predecessor servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If such Transition Expenses are not paid to the successor Servicer by the predecessor Servicer, such Transition Expenses shall be paid under Section 5.08(a)(i) hereof. In addition, the Class A Insurer shall have the option to pay the Transition Expenses. If the Class A Insurer elects to pay any such Transition Expenses, the amount paid by the Class A Insurer shall constitute part of the Class A Insurer Reimbursement Obligations due to the Class A Insurer. SECTION 8.02. Appointment of Successor. (a) Upon the Servicer's receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01, the expiration and non-renewal of the Servicer's term pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or the Servicer's resignation in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.14, the predecessor servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until (i) the date of such expiration, in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 4.01(a), (ii) the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, (iii) in the case of resignation, until the later of (x) the date 30 days from the delivery to the Backup Servicer and the Trust Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or the date of written confirmation of such notice prior to the expiration of the 45 days) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (y) the date upon which the predecessor servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the Servicer's resignation or termination hereunder, and, so long as no Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, if the Class A Insurer so directs, the Backup Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, as modified or limited by the Backup Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the Backup Servicer shall not be liable for any actions of any Servicer prior to such succession or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any related document or agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Backup Servicer is legally unable to so act or, so long as no Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Class A Insurer otherwise directs, the Class A Insurer may appoint a successor Servicer, otherwise, the Trust Collateral Agent shall appoint (after soliciting bids from potential servicers), or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Servicer 72 as the successor Servicer hereunder, in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the outgoing Servicer hereunder. In the event that SST, as Backup Servicer, is legally unable to act as Servicer under this Agreement and another entity is appointed as successor Servicer under this Section 8.02(a), SST shall have no further obligation to perform the obligations of Servicer or Backup Servicer under this Agreement. Pending appointment of a successor to the outgoing Servicer hereunder, if the Backup Servicer is prohibited by law from so acting (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to the Trust Collateral Agent and the Class A Insurer) or, so long as no Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Class A Insurer otherwise directs, the Trust Collateral Agent shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided; provided, however, that the Trust Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any actions of any Servicer prior to such succession or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any related document or agreement. In the event that the Trust Collateral Agent is so prohibited by law from acting or, so long as no Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Class A Insurer otherwise directs, the outgoing Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer hereunder until a successor Servicer which, so long as no Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be acceptable to the Class A Insurer is appointed and assumes the obligations as successor Servicer. In the event the Backup Servicer assumes the responsibilities of the Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.02, the Backup Servicer will make reasonable efforts consistent with Applicable Law to become licensed, qualified and in good standing under the laws which require licensing or qualification, in order to perform its obligations as Servicer hereunder or, alternatively, shall retain an agent who is so licensed, qualified and in good standing. (b) Upon appointment, the Backup Servicer or the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor servicer and shall be subject to the responsibilities, duties, and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor servicer, (subject to the limitations and modifications thereto set forth in the Backup Servicing Agreement) and shall be entitled to (to the extent arranged in accordance with the following paragraph) the Servicing Fee, Servicer Expenses, Reliening Expenses, Repossession Expenses and all of the rights granted to the predecessor servicer, by the terms and provisions of this Agreement, provided that neither the Backup Servicer nor the successor Servicer shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any predecessor servicer. (c) In connection with such appointment, the Trust Collateral Agent may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor Servicer (including Transition Expenses) out of payments on Dealer Loans and related Contracts as it, the Class A Insurer (so long as no Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) and such successor Servicer shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation (excluding Transition Expenses, Repossession Expenses and Reliening Expenses) shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee. The Backup Servicer, the Trust Collateral Agent and any such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. SECTION 8.03. Notification to Class A Noteholders and Certificateholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Trust Collateral Agent shall promptly upon its receipt of notice thereof give prompt written notice thereof to Class A Noteholders and the Certificateholders at their respective 73 addresses appearing in the Note Register and the Certificate Register and to each of the Rating Agency then rating the Class A Notes and the Class A Insurer. SECTION 8.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. So long as no Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Class A Insurer, may, on behalf of all Class A Noteholders and the Certificateholders, waive any or all default(s) by the Servicer or the Seller in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from a Trust Account in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement.

(e) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Trust Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur liability (financial or otherwise) in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability reasonably satisfactory to it is not reasonably assured to it. (f) Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trust Collateral Agent shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. (g) Without limiting the generality of this Section, the Trust Collateral Agent shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest in the Contracts or the Financed Vehicles, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance on the Financed Vehicles or Obligors or to effect or maintain any such insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against any part of the Trust, (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates delivered to the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Trust Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, or (E) to inspect the Contracts at any time or ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the Issuer's, the Seller's or the Servicer's representations, warranties or covenants or the Servicer's duties and obligations as Servicer and as custodian of the Dealer Agreements, the original certificates of title relating to the Financed Vehicles and the Contracts under this Agreement. (h) In no event shall JPMorgan Chase Bank, in any of its capacities hereunder, be deemed to have assumed any duties of the Owner Trustee under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, common law, or the Trust Agreement. (i) JPMorgan Chase Bank by its execution hereof accepts its appointment as Trust Collateral Agent under the Indenture and this Agreement. The Trust Collateral Agent shall act upon and in compliance with the written instructions of the Indenture Trustee delivered pursuant to the Indenture promptly following receipt of such written instructions; provided that the Trust Collateral Agent shall not act in accordance with any instructions (i) which are not authorized by, or in violation of the provisions of, the Indenture or this Agreement, (ii) which are in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or (iii) for which the Trust Collateral Agent has not received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. Receipt of such instructions shall not be a condition to the exercise by the Trust Collateral Agent of its express duties hereunder, except where the Indenture or this Agreement provides that the Trust Collateral Agent is permitted to act only following and in accordance with such instructions. SECTION 9.02. Rights of the Trust Collateral Agent. 75 (a) Before the Trust Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(c) The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trust Collateral Agent's conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. (d) The Trust Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and the written advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Class A Notes or Certificates shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the written advice or opinion of such counsel. (e) The Trust Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or in relation to this Sale and Servicing Agreement, at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Notes or Certificates or the instructing party, as the case may be, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it shall have been offered to the Trust Collateral Agent security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby. (f) The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Majority Noteholders or the Class A Insurer (so long as no Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing); provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trust Collateral Agent of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trust Collateral Agent, not reasonably assured to the Trust Collateral Agent by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trust Collateral Agent may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the requesting Holders or the instructing party, as the case may be, or, if paid by the Trust Collateral Agent, shall be reimbursed by the requesting Holders upon demand. (g) Delivery of any reports, information and documents to the Trust Collateral Agent provided for herein is for informational purposes only (unless otherwise expressly stated herein) and the Trust Collateral Agent's receipt of such shall not constitute constructive 76 knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Servicer's, Seller's or Issuer's compliance with any of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder (as to which the Trust Collateral Agent is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates). (h) The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Servicer Default or an Early Amortization Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Trust Collateral Agent has actual knowledge or has received written notice thereof. (i) In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any indirect, or consequential, punitive or special damages, regardless of the form of action and whether or not any such damages were foreseeable or contemplated. (j) The Trust Collateral Agent may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the property party or parties. (k) In no event shall the Trust Collateral Agent be liable for any act or omission on the part of the Issuer or the Servicer or any other Person.

Such compensation and expenses shall be paid in accordance with Section 5.08(a) hereof. Such expenses shall include securities transaction charges relating to the investment of funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts and the reasonable compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trust Collateral Agent's counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ; provided, however, that the securities transaction charges referred to above shall, in the case of certain Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer, be waived for a particular investment in the event that any amounts are 77 received by the Trust Collateral Agent from a financial institution in connection with the purchase of such Eligible Investments. (b) [Reserved.] (c) The Issuer's and the Servicer's payment obligations to the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Agreement and any resignation or removal of the Trust Collateral Agent. When the Trust Collateral Agent incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(iv) or (v) of the Indenture with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Agreement or the Basic Documents, the Trust Collateral Agent agrees that the obligations of the Issuer or the Seller (but not the Servicer) to the Trust Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Basic Documents shall not be recourse to the assets of the Issuer, the Seller or any Class A Noteholder. SECTION 9.06. Eligibility.

If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trust Collateral Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trust Collateral Agent shall resign immediately, provided that such resignation shall not be effective until a successor Trust Collateral Agent accepts appointment in accordance with Section 9.10(d) hereof. SECTION 9.07. Trust Collateral Agent's Disclaimer. The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for and make no representation as to the validity, sufficiency or adequacy of this Agreement, the Trust Property or the Securities, shall not be accountable for the Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Securities, and shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Agreement or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities. SECTION 9.08. Limitation on Liability. Neither the Trust Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection herewith, 78 except that the Trust Collateral Agent shall be liable for its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; nor shall the Trust Collateral Agent be responsible for the validity, effectiveness, value, sufficiency or enforceability against the Issuer of this Agreement or any of the Trust Property (or any part thereof). Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement, the Trust Collateral Agent shall incur no liability to the Issuer for any action taken or omitted by the Trust Collateral Agent in connection with the Trust Property, except for the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trust Collateral Agent, and, further, shall incur no liability to the Issuer except for negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in carrying out its duties to the Issuer.

The Trust Collateral Agent shall at all times be free independently to establish to its reasonable satisfaction, but shall have no duty to independently verify, the existence or nonexistence of facts that are a condition to the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder or under any of the Basic Documents. The Trust Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the written advice of such counsel. SECTION 9.09. Reliance Upon Documents. In the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, the Trust Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any communication, instrument, paper or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons and shall have no liability in acting, or omitting to act, where such action or omission to act is in reasonable reliance upon any statement or opinion contained in any such document or instrument. SECTION 9.10. Successor Trust Collateral Agent. (a) Merger. Any Person into which the Trust Collateral Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any Person resulting from any such conversion, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer to which the Trust Collateral Agent is a party, shall (provided it is otherwise qualified to serve as the Trust Collateral Agent hereunder) be and become a successor Trust Collateral Agent hereunder and be vested with all of the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other matters as was its predecessor without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Trust Collateral Agent shall give notice to the Class A Insurer and the Rating Agency of any such transaction. (b) Resignation. The Trust Collateral Agent and any successor Trust Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving sixty days prior written notice to the Issuer, the Rating Agency and the Class A Insurer; provided, that such resignation shall not be effective 79 until a successor Trust Collateral Agent is appointed and accepts appointment in accordance with clause (d) below. (c) Removal. (i) The Issuer, prior to the Class A Termination Date with the prior written consent of the Class A Insurer, may remove the Trust Collateral Agent by written notice if: (A) a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Trust Collateral Agent in an involuntary case or proceeding under federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Trust Collateral Agent or for any substantial part of the Trust Collateral Agent's property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Trust Collateral Agent's affairs; (B) an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or another present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law is commenced with respect to the Trust Collateral Agent and such case is not dismissed within 60 days; (C) the Trust Collateral Agent commences a voluntary case under any federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or other similar official) for the Trust Collateral Agent or for any substantial part of the Trust Collateral Agent's property, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; (D) failure to comply with any material covenant hereunder; or (E) the Trust Collateral Agent otherwise becomes legally incapable of acting. (ii) The Class A Insurer may remove the Trust Collateral Agent for any reason by 30 days' prior written notice. (iii) If the Trust Collateral Agent resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trust Collateral Agent for any reason (the Trust Collateral Agent in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trust Collateral Agent), prior to the Class A Termination Date the Class A Insurer may appoint a successor Trust Collateral Agent and if it fails to, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trust Collateral Agent acceptable to the Class A Insurer. After the Class A Termination Date, the Issuer 80 may appoint a successor Trust Collateral Agent without the consent of the Class A Insurer. A successor Trust Collateral Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trust Collateral Agent and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trust Collateral Agent shall become effective, and the successor Trust Collateral Agent shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trust Collateral Agent under this Indenture subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. The successor Trust Collateral Agent shall mail a notice of its succession to Class A Noteholders, the Class A Insurer and the Rating Agency. The retiring Trust Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trust Collateral Agent to the successor Trust Collateral Agent. If a successor Trust Collateral Agent that is, prior to the Class A Termination Date, acceptable to the Class A Insurer does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trust Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Trust Collateral Agent, or the Control Party may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trust Collateral Agent that is meets the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 9.06 hereof. If the Trust Collateral Agent fails to comply with Section 9.12, any Noteholder, prior to the Class A Termination Date with the prior written consent of the Class A Insurer, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trust Collateral Agent and the appointment of a successor Trust Collateral Agent acceptable to the Class A Insurer. Any resignation or removal of the Trust Collateral Agent and appointment of a successor Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trust Collateral Agent acceptable to the Class A Insurer pursuant to this Section 9.10(c) and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Trust Collateral Agent by the Servicer and the Issuer. Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section, the Issuer's and the Servicer's obligations under Section 9.05 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trust Collateral Agent. (d) Acceptance by Successor. If the Trust Collateral Agent has resigned or has been removed pursuant to this Section 9.10, so long as no Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Class A Insurer has the right to appoint a successor Trust Collateral Agent and if it fails to, or if a Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Owner Trustee shall have the sole right to appoint each successor Trust Collateral Agent that meets the qualifications required hereunder. Every temporary or permanent successor Trust Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Owner Trustee, each Class A Noteholder, each Certificateholder, the Rating Agency, the Class A Insurer and the Issuer an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder and the relevant predecessor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such other documents and instruments as will effectuate the delivery of all Collateral to the successor Trust Collateral Agent, whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor. Such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer, execute 81 and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder. In the event that any instrument in writing from the Issuer is reasonably required by a successor Trust Collateral Agent to more fully and certainly vest in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations vested or intended to be vested hereunder in the Trust Collateral Agent, any and all such written instruments shall, at the request of the temporary or permanent successor Trust Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Owner Trustee or the Issuer, as the case may be. The designation of any successor Trust Collateral Agent and the instrument or instruments removing any Trust Collateral Agent and appointing a successor hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for herein, shall be maintained with the records relating to the Trust Property and, to the extent required by applicable law, filed or recorded by the successor Trust Collateral Agent in each place where such filing or recording is necessary to effect the transfer of the Trust Property to the successor Trust Collateral Agent or to protect or continue the perfection of the security interests granted hereunder. If no successor Trust Collateral Agent shall have been appointed and accepted the appointment within sixty (60) days after the giving of notice of resignation, the resigning Trust Collateral Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trust Collateral Agent that meets the qualifications required hereunder. SECTION 9.11. Representations and Warranties of the Trust Collateral Agent. The Trust Collateral Agent represents and warrants to the Issuer, the Class A Insurer and to the Class A Noteholders as follows: (i) The Trust Collateral Agent is a New York banking corporation, duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States and is authorized to conduct and engage in a banking and trust business under such laws. (ii) The Trust Collateral Agent has full corporate power, authority, and legal right to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance, by it of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party. (iii) This Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Trust Collateral Agent. (iv) This Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Trust Collateral Agent enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity. SECTION 9.12. Waiver of Setoffs. 82 Except with respect to the Certificate Distribution Account, the Trust Collateral Agent hereby expressly waives any and all rights of setoff that the Trust Collateral Agent may otherwise at any time have under applicable law with respect to any Trust Account and agrees that amounts in the Trust Accounts shall at all times be held and applied solely in accordance with the provisions hereof. ARTICLE X TERMINATION SECTION 10.01. Optional Purchase. (a) On the last day of any Collection Period as of which the Class A Note Balance shall be less than or equal to 15% of the initial Class A Note Balance, the Servicer shall have the option to reacquire the Trust Property, other than the Trust Accounts. To exercise such option, the Servicer shall deposit pursuant to Section 5.04 in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Purchase Amount for the Dealer Loans, plus the appraised value of any other property held by the Trust (other than the Trust Accounts), such value to be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Trust Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not exercise such option unless the Purchase Amount is sufficient to pay the full amount of principal and interest due and payable on the Class A Notes, and all amounts due and payable to the Class A Insurer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Backup Servicer and the Owner Trustee under the Basic Documents. Upon such deposit the Servicer shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust (other than the Trust Accounts). (b) Notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Class A Insurer and the Rating Agency as soon as practicable after the Servicer has received notice of the occurrence of an event of termination under Section 9.1(a) of the Trust Agreement. (c) Credit Acceptance shall have the right to purchase at any time 1.0% of the Dealer Loans, based upon the Aggregate Outstanding Net Eligible Loan Balance on the date of purchase for an amount equal to the greater of: (i) the Purchase Amount related to such Dealer Loans; and (ii) the aggregate fair market value of such Dealer Loans. ARTICLE XI MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS SECTION 11.01. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Seller, the Servicer, and the Trust Collateral Agent, without the consent of any of the Class A Noteholders (at the written direction of the Issuer), but with the prior written consent of the Class A Insurer, so long as no Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, to (i) cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement, or to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement that shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) reflect the succession of a successor Servicer; provided, however, that in connection with any amendment pursuant to clause (i), the action referred to 83 therein shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Class A Noteholder; and provided, further, that in connection with any amendment pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Class A Insurer and the Indenture Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency, which then has a rating on the Class A Notes, to the effect that such amendment will not cause the then current rating on the Class A Notes to be qualified, reduced or withdrawn without regard to the Class A Note Insurance Policy. This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Seller, the Servicer, and the Trust Collateral Agent (at the written direction of the Issuer) with the consent of the Class A Insurer or, if a Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the holders of Class A Notes (which consent of any Holder of a Class A Note given pursuant to this Section or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of such Class A Note and of any Class A Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Class A Note), evidencing not less than 51% of the sum of the then outstanding Class A Note Balance 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 Holders of the Class A Notes; 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 Contracts or distributions that shall be required to be made on any Class A Note or change the Class A Note Rate or the Class A Principal Distributable Amount or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all Class A Notes then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no consent of any Class A Noteholder shall be required in connection with any amendment in order for the Certificateholders to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the excess interest, provided that the Certificateholders present evidence to the Trust Collateral Agent and the Class A Insurer that the ratings of the Class A Notes shall not be reduced or withdrawn as a result without regard to the Class A Note Insurance Policy. Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Servicer will provide and the Trust Collateral Agent shall distribute written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each Rating Agency then rating the Class A Notes and the Class A Insurer. Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Trust Collateral Agent shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each Class A Noteholder and each Certificateholder. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Class A Noteholders 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 Class A Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Class A Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trust Collateral Agent may prescribe. 84 Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trust Collateral Agent 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 11.02(i)(1). The Trust Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trust Collateral Agent's own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise. SECTION 11.02. Protection of Title to Trust. (a) The Seller shall file such financing statements and cause to be filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain, and protect the interest of the Class A Noteholders, the Class A Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent in the Dealer Loans and the related Contracts and in the proceeds thereof and the sale of accounts and chattel paper. The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Trust Collateral Agent and the Class A Insurer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing. (b) None of the Originator, the Seller nor the Servicer shall change its name, identity, state of incorporation or formation or corporate structure in any manner that would, could, or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of ss.9-506 or ss.9-507 of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Trust Collateral Agent and the Class A Insurer at least five days' prior written notice thereof and shall have promptly filed appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements. (c) The Seller, the Originator and the Servicer shall give the Trust Collateral Agent and the Class A Insurer at least 60 days' prior written notice of any relocation of its principal executive office or change of its state of incorporation or formation if, as a result of any such change, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement and shall promptly file any such amendment. Unless otherwise permitted by the Control Party, the Servicer shall at all times maintain each office from which it shall service the Dealer Loans and the related Contracts, and its principal executive office, within the United States of America. (d) The Servicer shall maintain accounts and records as to each Dealer Loan and Contract accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the status of such Dealer Loan and Contract, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each Dealer Loan and Contract and the amounts from time to time deposited in the Collection Account in respect of such Dealer Loan and Contract. (e) The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale under this Agreement of the Dealer Loans and the related Contracts to the Trust, the Servicer's master computer records (including any back-up archives) that refer to a Dealer Loan or Contract shall indicate clearly (including by means of tagging) the interest of the Trust in such Dealer Loan or Contract and that such Dealer Loan or Contract is owned by the Trust. 85 Indication of the Trust's ownership of a Dealer Loan or Contract shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer's computer systems when, and only when, the Dealer Loan or Contract shall have been paid in full or repurchased. (f) If at any time the Seller or the Servicer shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in automotive receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender, or other transferee, the Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender, or other transferee computer tapes, records, or print-outs (including any restored from back-up archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Dealer Loan or Contract, shall indicate clearly (including by means of tagging) that such Dealer Loan or Contract has been sold and is owned by the Trust. (g) The Servicer shall, upon reasonable prior notice, permit the Trust Collateral Agent, the Class A Insurer and their respective agents at any time during normal business hours to inspect, audit, and make copies of and abstracts from the Servicer's records regarding any Contract at the office of the Servicer in a reasonable manner. (h) Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the Class A Insurer, within twenty Business Days, a list of all Dealer Loans and Contracts (by agreement or contract number and name of Dealer or Obligor) then held as part of the Trust, together with a reconciliation of such list to the schedule of Dealer Loans, Dealer Agreements and Contracts attached hereto as Schedule A and to each of the Servicer's Certificates furnished before such request indicating removal of Dealer Loans or Contracts from the Trust. (i) The Seller shall deliver to the Trust Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the Class A Insurer: (1) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and of each amendment thereto, an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements (and releases of financing statements) and continuation statements have been executed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent in the Dealer Loans and the related Contracts, and reciting the details of the expected filings thereof or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest; and (2) within 90 days after the beginning of each calendar year beginning with the first calendar year beginning more than three months after the Cut-off Date, an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of a date during such 90-day period, either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such Counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent in the Dealer Loans and the related Contracts, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such Counsel, no such action shall be 86 necessary to preserve and protect such interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to preserve and protect the interest of the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent in the Dealer Loans and the related Contracts, until January 30 in the following calendar year. Each Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (i)(1) or (i)(2) above shall specify any action necessary (as of the date of such opinion) to be taken in the following year to preserve perfection of such interest. (j) For the purpose of facilitating the execution of this Agreement and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. SECTION 11.03. Limitation on Rights of Class A Noteholders. No Class A Noteholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided in this Agreement or in the Indenture) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties to this Agreement, nor shall anything in this Agreement set forth, or contained in the terms of the Class A Notes be construed so as to constitute the Class A Noteholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Class A Noteholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. No Class A Noteholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action, or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless, so long as no Class A Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Class A Insurer has given its prior written consent and such Holder previously shall have given to the Trust Collateral Agent a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, and unless also (i) the default arises from the Seller's or the Servicer's failure to remit payments when due hereunder, or (ii) the Majority Noteholders shall have made written request upon the Trust Collateral Agent to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trust Collateral Agent under this Agreement and such Holder shall have offered to the Trust Collateral Agent such indemnity as it may reasonably require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trust Collateral Agent, for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request, and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and during such 30-day period no request or waiver inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section or Section 8.04; no one or more Holders of Notes or Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb, or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of the Class A Notes or the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right, under this Agreement except in the manner provided in this Agreement and for the equal, ratable, and common benefit of all Class A Noteholders and all Certificateholders. For the protection and 87 enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each Class A Noteholder, each Certificateholder and the Trust Collateral Agent shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. In the event the Trust Collateral Agent shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Class A Notes, each representing less than the required amount of the Class A Notes, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement.

The Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in UCC Section 9-102) in the Seller Property in favor of the Trust, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from and assignees of the Seller. 2. Each Contract constitutes "tangible chattel paper" or a "payment intangible", within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102. Each Dealer Loan constitutes a "payment intangible" or a "general intangible" within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102. 3. Each Dealer Agreement constitutes either a "general intangible" or "tangible chattel paper" within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102. 4. The Seller has taken or will take all steps necessary actions with respect to the Dealer Loans to perfect its security interest in the Dealer Loans and in the property securing the Dealer Loans. CREATION 1. The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Initial Seller Property or Subsequent Seller Property, as applicable, free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding. PERFECTION 1.

Neither the Seller, the Originator nor the Trust is aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against either the Seller, the Originator or the Trust. 3. None of the tangible chattel paper that constitutes or evidences the Contracts or the Dealer Agreements has any marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Originator, the Servicer, the Seller, the Trust, a collection agent or the Trust Collateral Agent.
