COVENANTS OF SELLER
SECTION 4.1 Protection of Title of Purchaser.

naming Purchaser as purchaser or secured party and describing the Receivables
and the Other Conveyed Property being sold by it to Purchaser as collateral,
with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada and in such
other locations as Purchaser shall have required and as shall be necessary to
perfect the security interest of Purchaser in the collateral. From time to time
thereafter, Seller shall execute and file such financing statements and cause to
be executed and 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 Purchaser under this Agreement, of the Issuer under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and of the Trust Collateral Agent under the Indenture in the
Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property and in the proceeds thereof. Seller

Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing) and the Trust

previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing
statement. Seller shall at all times maintain each office from which it services
Receivables and its principal executive office within the United States of
America.
(d) Prior to the Closing Date Seller has maintained accounts and records as

such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and
the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on

time of sale under this Agreement of the Receivables to Purchaser, and the
conveyance of the Receivables by Purchaser to the Issuer, Seller's master
computer records (including archives) that shall refer to a Receivable indicate
clearly that such Receivable has been sold to Purchaser and has been conveyed by
Purchaser to the Issuer. Indication of the Issuer's ownership of a Receivable
shall be deleted from or modified on Seller's computer systems when, and only
when, the Receivable shall become a Purchased Receivable or shall have been paid
in full.

in, or otherwise transfer any interest in any motor vehicle receivables to any
prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, Seller shall give to such
prospective purchaser, lender, or other transferee computer tapes, records, or

any manner whatsoever to any Receivable (other than a Purchased Receivable),
shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold to Purchaser, sold by
Purchaser to Issuer, and is owned by the Issuer.
SECTION 4.2 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder,
Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant,
10
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on the Receivables or the

Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee,
the Noteholders and the Certificateholders from and against any and all costs,
expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities to the extent that such cost,
expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability arose out of, or was imposed upon any
of such Persons through the negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith of
Seller in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of
reckless disregard of Seller's obligations and duties under this Agreement.
(g) Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, the Issuer,
the Trust Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the

against all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities arising
out of or incurred in connection with the acceptance or performance of Seller's
trusts and duties as Master Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
except to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability
shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence (except for
errors in judgment) of Purchaser.

expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation and shall survive termination of
the Notes and the Certificates. The indemnity obligations hereunder shall be in

ARTICLE V
REPURCHASES
SECTION 5.1 Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Warranty. Upon the
occurrence of a Repurchase Event, Seller shall, unless the breach which is the
subject of such Repurchase Event shall have been cured in all material respects,
repurchase the Receivable relating thereto from the Issuer by the last day of
the first full calendar month following the discovery by the Seller of receipt
by the Seller of notice of such breach and, simultaneously with the repurchase
of the Receivable, Seller shall deposit the Purchase Amount in full, without
deduction or offset, to the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.2 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement. It is understood and agreed that, except as set
forth in Section 6.1 hereof, the obligation of Seller to repurchase any
Receivable, as to which a breach occurred and is continuing, shall, if such
obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against Seller for such
breach available to Purchaser, the Issuer, the Insurer, the Noteholders, the
Certificateholders, the Trust Collateral Agent on behalf of the Noteholders or
the Owner Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The provisions of this
Section 5.1 are intended to grant the Issuer and the Trust Collateral Agent a
direct right against Seller to demand performance hereunder, and in connection
therewith, Seller waives any requirement of prior demand against Purchaser with
respect to such repurchase obligation. Any such repurchase shall take place in
the manner specified in Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing
Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of Seller under this Section shall not
terminate upon a termination of Seller as Master Servicer under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and shall be performed in accordance with the terms hereof
notwithstanding the failure of the Master Servicer or Purchaser to perform any
of their respective obligations with respect to such Receivable under the Sale
and Servicing Agreement.
In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding whether the related
Receivable shall have been purchased by Seller, Seller shall indemnify the
Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee,
the Insurer, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders against all costs,
expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as
a result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to
such Repurchase Events.
SECTION 5.2 Reassignment of Purchased Receivables. Upon deposit in the
Collection Account of the Purchase Amount of any Receivable repurchased by
Seller under Section 5.1 hereof, Purchaser and the Issuer shall take such steps
as may be reasonably requested by Seller in order to assign to Seller all of
Purchaser's and the Issuer's right, title and interest in and to such Receivable
and all security and documents and all Other Conveyed Property conveyed to
Purchaser and the Issuer directly relating thereto, without recourse,
representation or warranty, except as to the absence of liens, charges or
encumbrances created by or arising as a result of actions of Purchaser or the
Issuer. Such assignment shall be a sale and assignment outright, and not for
security. If, following the reassignment of a Purchased Receivable, in any
enforcement suit or legal
13
proceeding, it is held that Seller may not enforce any such Receivable on the
ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to
enforce the Receivable, Purchaser and the Issuer shall, at the expense of
Seller, take such steps as Seller deems reasonably necessary to enforce the
Receivable, including bringing suit in Purchaser's or in the Issuer's name.
SECTION 5.3 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of Purchaser, or the
Issuer as assignee of Purchaser, in exercising any power, right or remedy under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other or future
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.
ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 6.1 Liability of Seller. Seller shall be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations in this Agreement specifically
undertaken by Seller and the representations and warranties of Seller.

incorporation, provided that in any of the foregoing cases such corporation
shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of Seller
or Purchaser, as the case may be, under this Agreement and, whether or not such
assumption agreement is executed, shall be the successor to Seller or Purchaser,
as the case may be, hereunder (without relieving Seller or Purchaser of its
responsibilities hereunder, if it survives such merger or consolidation) without
the execution or filing of any document or any further action by any of the
parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as an Insurer
Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, Purchaser shall not merge or
consolidate with any other Person or permit any other Person to become the
successor to Purchaser's business without the prior written consent of the
Insurer. Seller or Purchaser shall promptly inform the other party, the Issuer,

consolidation or purchase and assumption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a
condition to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) above, (x) immediately after giving effect to such transaction,
no representation or warranty made pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this
Agreement shall have been breached (for purposes hereof, such representations
and warranties shall speak as of the date of the consummation of such
transaction) and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would
become an event of default under the Insurance Agreement, shall have occurred

assumption to the Rating Agencies prior to the consummation of such transaction
and shall have delivered to the Issuer and the Trust Collateral Agent an
Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such
consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with
this Section 6.2 and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this
Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with, and (z) Seller
or Purchaser, as applicable, shall have delivered to the Issuer and the Trust
Collateral Agent an Opinion of Counsel, stating, in the opinion of such counsel,
either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments
thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect
the interest of the Issuer and the Trust Collateral Agent in the Receivables and
reciting the details of the filings or (B) no such action shall be necessary to
preserve and protect such interest.
SECTION 6.3 Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others. Seller and any
director, officer, employee or agent may rely in good faith on the advice of
counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.
Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action that is not incidental to its obligations under this Agreement or
its Related Documents and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability.
SECTION 6.4 Seller May Own Notes or Certificates. Subject to the provisions
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Seller and any Affiliate of Seller may in

Affiliate thereof.
SECTION 6.5 Amendment.
(a) This Agreement may be amended by Seller and Purchaser with the prior
written consent of the Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have
occurred and be continuing) and with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies
but without the consent of the Trust Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee or any
of the Certificateholders or Noteholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or (ii) to
correct any provisions in this Agreement; provided, however, that such action
shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder or Noteholder.
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by Seller and
Purchaser, with the prior written consent of the Insurer (so long as an Insurer
Default shall not have occurred and be continuing), with prior written notice to
the Rating Agencies and with the consent of the Trust Collateral Agent and, if
required, a Security Majority in accordance with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement, or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Certificateholders or Noteholders; provided, however,
the Seller provides the Trust Collateral Agent with an Opinion of Counsel,
(which may be provided by the Seller's internal counsel) that no such amendment
shall increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or
15
delay the timing of, collections of payments on Receivables or distributions
that shall be required to be made on any Note or Certificate.
(c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders or
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 of
evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders or
Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trust
Collateral Agent may prescribe, including the establishment of record dates. The
consent of a Holder of a Certificate or 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 Certificate or Note and
of any Certificate or Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange
thereof or in lieu thereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon

such other address as shall be designated by a party in a written notice
delivered to the other party or to the Issuer, Owner Trustee or the Trust
Collateral Agent, as applicable.
SECTION 6.7 Merger and Integration. Except as specifically stated otherwise
herein, this Agreement and Related Documents set forth the entire understanding
of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and all prior
understandings, written or oral, are superseded by this Agreement and the
Related Documents. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, waived or
supplemented except as provided herein.
SECTION 6.8 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the
covenants, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason
whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, provisions or terms shall be
deemed severable from the remaining covenants, provisions or terms of this
Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other
provisions of this Agreement.
16
SECTION 6.9 Intention of the Parties. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement shall constitute an acknowledgment by Seller and Purchaser that they
intend that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale
and assignment outright, and not for security, of the Receivables and the Other

from Seller to Purchaser, and that the Receivables and the Other Conveyed
Property shall not be a part of Seller's estate in the event of the bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other
proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, or the
occurrence of another similar event, of, or with respect to Seller. In the event
that such conveyance is determined to be made as security for a loan made by
Purchaser, the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders to Seller, the
parties intend that Seller shall have granted to Purchaser a security interest
in all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the
Other Conveyed Property conveyed pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, and that this
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and shall
have granted such security interest.

with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of
conflicts of laws thereof and the obligations, rights and remedies of the
parties under this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
SECTION 6.11 Counterparts. For the purpose of facilitating the execution of
this Agreement and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts shall constitute but

SECTION 6.12 Conveyance of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property
to the Issuer. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser intends, pursuant to the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, to convey the Receivables and the Other Conveyed
Property, together with its rights under this Agreement, to the Issuer on the
date hereof. Seller acknowledges and consents to such conveyance and pledge and
waives any further notice thereof and covenants and agrees that the
representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement and the
rights of Purchaser hereunder are intended to benefit the Insurer, the Issuer,
the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Noteholders and the
Certificateholders. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller covenants and agrees
to perform its duties and obligations hereunder, in accordance with the terms
hereof for the benefit of the Insurer, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust
Collateral Agent, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders and that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall be
directly liable to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent,
the Noteholders and the Certificateholders (notwithstanding any failure by the
Master Servicer, or the Purchaser to perform their respective duties and
obligations hereunder or under Related Documents) and that the Trust Collateral
Agent may enforce the duties and obligations of Seller under this Agreement
against Seller for the benefit of the Insurer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust
Collateral Agent, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders.
17
SECTION 6.13 Nonpetition Covenant. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall
petition or otherwise invoke the process of any court or government authority
for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Purchaser or the

other similar official of the Purchaser or the Issuer or any substantial part of

and binding payment obligation of the Obligor thereon, enforceable by the holder
thereof in accordance with its terms, except (A) as enforceability may be

meaning of the UCC as in effect in the States of Delaware, Nevada, Pennsylvania
and New York.
13. One Original. There is only one original executed copy of each
Receivable.
A-2
14. Receivable Files Complete. There exists a Receivable File pertaining to
each Receivable and such Receivable File contains, without limitation, subject
to any exceptions which may appear on any exception report delivered by the
Trust Collateral Agent on the Closing Date to the Insurer, the Owner Trustee,
the Seller and the Master Servicer and which the Seller shall have 30 Business
Days to cure, (a) a fully executed original of the Receivable, (b) the original,

rescinded, and the Financed Vehicle securing each such Receivable has not been
released from the lien of the related Receivable in whole or in part. No terms
of any Receivable have been waived, altered or modified in any respect since its
origination, except by instruments or documents identified in the Receivable
File. No Receivable has been modified as a result of application of the
Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended.
16. Lawful Assignment. No Receivable was originated in, or is subject to
the laws of, any jurisdiction the laws of which would make unlawful, void or
voidable the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable under this
Agreement or pursuant to transfers of the Securities. The Seller has not entered
into any agreement with any account debtor that prohibits, restricts or
conditions the assignment of any portion of the Receivables.
17. Good Title. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or
pledged by the Seller to any Person other than the Purchaser and the Issuer;
immediately prior to the conveyance of the Receivables to the Purchaser pursuant
to this Agreement, the Seller was the sole owner thereof and had good and
indefeasible title thereto, free of any Lien and, upon execution and delivery of
this Agreement by the Seller, the Purchaser shall have good and indefeasible
title to and will be the sole owner of such Receivables, free of any Lien. No
Dealer has a participation in, or other right to receive, proceeds of any

Person that would result in such Person having a right to payments received
under the related Insurance Policies or the related Dealer Agreements, Dealer
Assignments or Unaffiliated Originator Receivables Purchase Agreements or to
payments due under such Receivables.
A-3
18. Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Each Receivable created or shall
create a valid, binding and enforceable first priority security interest in
favor of the Seller, the Trust Collateral Agent or an Unaffiliated Originator in
the Financed Vehicle. The Lien Certificate and original certificate of title for
each Financed Vehicle show, or if a new or replacement Lien Certificate is being
applied for with respect to such Financed Vehicle the Lien Certificate will be
received within 180 days of the Closing Date and will show the Seller, the Trust
Collateral Agent, Bankers Trust Company or an Unaffiliated Originator named as
the original secured party under each Receivable as the holder of a first
priority security interest in such Financed Vehicle. With respect to each
Receivable for which the Lien Certificate has not yet been returned from the
Registrar of Titles, the Seller has received written evidence from the related
Dealer that such Lien Certificate showing the Seller, the Trust Collateral
Agent, Bankers Trust Company or an Unaffiliated Originator or Bankers Trust
Company as first lienholder has been applied for and (i) the Unaffiliated
Originator's security interest has been validly assigned to the Seller, pursuant
to the Unaffiliated Originator Receivables Purchase Agreement, if applicable and
(ii) the Seller's security interest has been validly assigned to the Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement. Immediately after the sale, transfer and assignment
thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser and from the Purchaser to the Trust, each
Receivable will be secured by an enforceable and perfected first priority
security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the Trustee as secured
party, which security interest is prior to all other Liens upon and security
interests in such Financed Vehicle which now exist or may hereafter arise or be
created (except, as to priority, for any lien for taxes, labor or materials
affecting a Financed Vehicle arising subsequent to the Cutoff Date). As of the
related Cutoff Date there were no Liens or claims for taxes, work, labor or
materials affecting a Financed Vehicle which are or may be Liens prior or equal
to the Liens of the related Receivable. If the Receivable was originated in a
state in which a filing or recording is required of the secured party to perfect
a security interest in motor vehicles, such filings or recordings have been duly
made to show the Seller, the Trust Collateral Agent or an Unaffiliated
Originator as the Original Secured Party under the related Receivable.
19. All Filings Made. All filings (including, without limitation, UCC
filings) required to be made by any Person and actions required to be taken or
performed by any Person in any jurisdiction to give the Trust a first priority
perfected lien on, or ownership interest in, the Receivables and the proceeds
thereof and the Other Conveyed Property have been made, taken or performed.
20. No Impairment. The Seller has not done anything to convey any right to
any Person that would result in such Person having a right to payments due under
the Receivable or otherwise to impair the rights of the Trust, the Purchaser,
the Insurer, the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Securityholders in
any Receivable or the proceeds thereof.
21. Receivable Not Assumable. No Receivable is assumable by another Person
in a manner which would release the Obligor thereof from such Obligor's
obligations to the Seller with respect to such Receivable.
A-4
22. No Defenses. No Receivable is subject to any right of rescission,
setoff, counterclaim or defense and no such right has been asserted or
threatened with respect to any Receivable.
23. No Default. There has been no default, breach, violation or event
permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable (other than payment
delinquencies of not more than 29 days as of the Cut-Off Date and other than
payment delinquencies of more than 29 days which have been cured and which the
Obligor of such Receivable has had no further delinquency of more than 29 days),
and no condition exists or event has occurred and is continuing that with
notice, the lapse of time or both would constitute a default, breach, violation
or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable, and there
has been no waiver of any of the foregoing. As of the related Cutoff Date no
Financed Vehicle had been repossessed.
24. Insurance. At the time of origination of each Receivable, the related
Financed Vehicle is covered by a comprehensive and collision insurance policy
(i) in an amount at least equal to the lesser of, excluding any deductible, (a)
its maximum insurable value or (b) the principal amount due from the Obligor
under the related Receivable, (ii) naming the Seller or an Unaffiliated
Originator and its successors and assigns as loss payee and (iii) insuring
