(xviii) No Amendments. No Receivable has been amended, except
as such Receivable may have been amended to grant extensions which
shall not have numbered more than (a) one extension of one calendar
month in any calendar year or (b) three such extensions in the
aggregate.
(xix) No Defenses. As of the Closing Date, no right of
rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense exists or has been asserted
or threatened with respect to any Receivable. The operation of the
terms of any Receivable or the exercise of any right thereunder will
not render such Receivable unenforceable in whole or in part or subject
to any such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim, or defense.
(xx) No Liens. As of the Cutoff Date, there are no liens or
claims existing or which have been filed for work, labor, storage or
materials relating to a Financed Vehicle that shall be liens prior to,
or equal or coordinate with, the security interest in the Financed
Vehicle granted by the Receivable.
(xxi) No Default; Repossession. Except for payment
delinquencies continuing for a period of not more than thirty days as
of the Cutoff Date, no default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration under the terms of any Receivable has occurred; and no
continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time would
constitute a default, breach, violation, or event permitting
acceleration under the terms of any Receivable has arisen; and neither
the Seller nor Samco shall waive and neither has waived any of the
foregoing; and no Financed Vehicle shall have been repossessed as of
the Cutoff Date.
(xxii) Insurance; Other. (A) Each Obligor has obtained
insurance covering the Financed Vehicle as of the execution of the
Receivable insuring against loss and damage due to fire, theft,
transportation, collision and other risks generally covered by
comprehensive and collision coverage and each Receivable requires the
Obligor to obtain and maintain such insurance naming the Seller (or,
with respect to the Samco Receivables, Samco) and its successors and
assigns as an additional insured, (B) each Receivable that finances the
cost of premiums for credit life and credit accident or health
insurance is covered by an insurance policy and certificate of
insurance naming the Seller (or, with respect to the Samco Receivables,
Samco) as policyholder (creditor) under each such insurance policy and
certificate of insurance and (C) as to each Receivable that finances
the cost of an extended service contract, the respective Financed
Vehicle which secures the Receivable is covered by an extended service
contract.
(xxiii) Title. It is the intention of the Seller that the
transfer and assignment herein contemplated constitute a sale of the
CPS Receivables from the Seller to the Purchaser and that the
beneficial interest in and title to such CPS Receivables not be part of
the debtor's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition
by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. No CPS Receivable
has been sold, transferred, assigned, or pledged by the Seller to any
Person other than the Purchaser or any such pledge has been released on
or prior to the Closing Date. Immediately prior to the transfer and
assignment herein contemplated, the Seller had good and marketable
title to each CPS Receivable, and was the sole owner thereof, free and
clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, security interests, and
rights of others and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, the
Purchaser shall have good and marketable title to each such CPS
Receivable, and will be the sole owner thereof, free and clear of all
liens, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of others, and the
transfer has been perfected under the UCC.
(xxiv) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable has been originated
in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the
sale, transfer, and assignment of such Receivable under this Agreement
or the Samco Purchase
Agreement shall be unlawful, void, or voidable. Neither the Seller nor
▇▇▇▇▇ has entered into any agreement with any account debtor that
prohibits, restricts or conditions the assignment of any portion of the
Receivables.
(xxv) All Filings Made. All filings (including, without
limitation, UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the
Purchaser a first priority perfected ownership interest in the
Receivables and the other Transferred CPS Property have been made,
taken or performed.
(xxvi) Chattel Paper. Each Receivable constitutes "chattel
paper" under the applicable UCC.
(xxvii) Valid and Binding Obligation of Obligor. Each
Receivable is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Obligor
thereunder and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except only
as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and all
parties to such contract had full legal capacity to execute and deliver
such contract and all other documents related thereto and to grant the
security interest purported to be granted thereby.
(xxviii) Tax Liens. As of the Cutoff Date, there is no lien
against any Financed Vehicle for delinquent taxes.
(xxix) Title Documents. (A) If the Receivable was originated
in a State in which notation of a security interest on the title
document of the related Financed Vehicle is required or permitted to
perfect such security interest, the title document for such Receivable
shows, or if a new or replacement title document is being applied for
with respect to such Financed Vehicle the title document (or, with
respect to Receivables originated in the State of Michigan, all other
evidence of ownership with respect to such Financed Vehicle) will be
received within 180 days and will show, the Seller (or, with respect to
the Samco Receivables, Samco) named as the original secured party under
the related Receivable as the holder of a first priority security
interest in such Financed Vehicle, and (B) if the Receivable was
originated in a State in which the filing of a financing statement
under the UCC is required to perfect a security interest in motor
vehicles, such filings or recordings have been duly made and show the
Seller (or, with respect to the Samco Receivables, Samco) named as the
original secured party under the related Receivable, and in either
case, the Trustee has the same rights as such secured party has or
would have (if such secured party were still the owner of the
Receivable) against all parties claiming an interest in such Financed
Vehicle. With respect to each Receivable for which the title document
of the related Financed Vehicle has not yet been returned from the
Registrar of Titles, the Seller has received written evidence from the
related Dealer that such title document showing the Seller (or, with
respect to the Samco Receivables, Samco) as first lienholder has been
applied for.
(xxx) Casualty. No Financed Vehicle has suffered a Casualty.
(xxxi) Obligation to Dealers or Others. The Purchaser and its
assignees will assume no obligation to Dealers or other originators or
holders of the Receivables (including, but not limited to under dealer
reserves) as a result of the purchase of the Receivables.
(xxxii) Full Amount Advanced. The full amount of each
Receivable has been advanced to each Obligor, and there are no
requirements for future advances thereunder. No Obligor has any option
under a Receivable to borrow from any Person additional funds secured
by the related Financed Vehicle.
(c) The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a warranty or guaranty by the Seller as to the future
payments by any Obligor. The sale of the CPS Receivables pursuant to this
Agreement shall be "without recourse" except for the representations, warranties
and covenants made by the Seller in this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

ARTICLE V
COVENANTS OF THE SELLER
The Seller agrees with the Purchaser as follows; provided, however,
that to the extent that any provision of this ARTICLE V conflicts with any
provision of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement
shall govern:
5.1. Protection of Right, Title and Interest.
(a) Filings. The Seller shall cause all financing statements and
continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the right,
title and interest of the Purchaser in and to the Receivables and the other
Transferred Property to be promptly filed, and at all times to be kept recorded,
registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required
by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the
Purchaser hereunder to the Receivables and the other Transferred Property. The
Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser file stamped copies of, or filing receipts
for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as
available following such recordation, registration or filing. The Purchaser
shall cooperate fully with the Seller in connection with the obligations set
forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to
fulfill the intent of this Section 5.1(a). In the event the Seller fails to
perform its obligations under this subsection, the Purchaser or the Trustee may
do so at the expense of the Seller.
(b) Name and Other Changes. At least 60 days prior to the date the
Seller makes any change in its name, identity or corporate structure which would
make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with
paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the applicable provisions of the
UCC or any title statute, the Seller shall give the Trustee, the Insurer (so
long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing) and the
Purchaser written notice of any such change and no later than five days after
the effective date thereof, shall file appropriate amendments to all previously
filed financing statements or continuation statements. At least 60 days prior to
the date of any relocation of its principal executive office, the Seller shall
give the Trustee, the Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have
occurred and be continuing) and the Purchaser written notice thereof if, as a
result of such relocation, 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 the Seller shall within five
days after the effective date thereof, file any such amendment or new financing
statement. The Seller shall at all times maintain each office from which it
shall service Receivables, and its principal executive office, within the United
States of America.
(c) Accounts and Records. The Seller shall maintain accounts and
records as to each CPS Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit
the reader thereof to know at any time the status of such CPS Receivable,
including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of
each).
(d) Maintenance of Computer Systems. The Seller shall maintain its
computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale hereunder of the CPS
Receivables to the Purchaser, the Seller's master computer records (including
any back-up archives) that refer to a CPS Receivable shall indicate clearly the
interest of the Purchaser in such CPS Receivable and that such CPS Receivable is
owned by the Purchaser. Indication of the Purchaser's ownership of a CPS
Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on the Seller's computer systems
when, and only when, the CPS Receivable shall have been paid in full or
repurchased.
(e) Sale of Other Receivables. If at any time the Seller shall propose
to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in any
automobile or light-duty truck receivables (other than the CPS Receivables) to
any prospective purchaser, lender, or other transferee, the Seller 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 CPS Receivable, shall indicate clearly
that such CPS Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Purchaser unless such
CPS Receivable has been paid in full or repurchased.
(f) Access to Records. The Seller shall permit the Purchaser and its
agents at any time during normal business hours to inspect, audit, and make
copies of and abstracts from the Seller's records regarding any Receivable.
(g) List of Receivables. Upon request, the Seller shall furnish to the
Purchaser, within five Business Days, a list of all CPS Receivables (by contract
number and name of Obligor) then owned by the Purchaser, together with a
reconciliation of such list to the Schedule of CPS Receivables.
5.2. Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder and
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Seller will not sell, pledge,
assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any lien on any interest therein, and the Seller shall defend
the right, title, and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under the Receivables
against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller (or,
with respect to the Samco Receivables, Samco).
5.3. Chief Executive Office. During the term of the Receivables, the
Seller will maintain its chief executive office in one of the United States,
except Louisiana or Vermont.
5.4. Costs and Expenses. The Seller agrees to pay all reasonable costs
and disbursements in connection with the perfection, as against all third
parties, of the Purchaser's right, title and interest in and to the CPS
Receivables.
5.5. Delivery of Receivable Files. On or prior to the Closing Date, the
Seller shall deliver the Receivable Files to the Trustee at the location
specified in Schedule B to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall
have until the last day of the second Collection Period following receipt from
the Trustee of notification, pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, that there has been a failure to deliver a file with respect to a
Receivable (including a Samco Receivable) or that a file is unrelated to the
Receivables identified in Schedule A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or that
any of the documents referred to in Section 3.3 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement are not contained in a Receivable File, to deliver such file or any of
the aforementioned documents required to be included in such Receivable File to
the Trustee. Unless such defect with respect to such Receivable File shall have
been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following discovery
thereof by the Trustee, the Seller hereby agrees to repurchase any such
Receivable from the Trust as of such last day. In consideration of the purchase
of the Receivable, the Seller shall remit the Purchase Amount in the manner
specified in Section 4.5 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The sole remedy
hereunder of the Trustee, the Trust or the Securityholders with respect to a
breach of this Section 5.5, shall be to require the Seller to repurchase the
Receivable pursuant to this Section 5.5. Upon receipt of the Purchase Amount,
the Trustee shall release to the Seller or its designee the related Receivable
File and shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment,
without recourse, as are prepared by the Seller and delivered to the Trustee and
are necessary to vest in the Seller or such designee title to the Receivable.
5.6. Indemnification. (a) The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser for
any liability as a result of the failure of a Receivable to be originated in
compliance with all requirements of law and for any breach of any of its
representations and warranties contained herein.
(b) The Seller shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Purchaser
from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims, and
liabilities, arising out of or resulting from the use, ownership, or operation
by the Seller or any Affiliate thereof of a Financed Vehicle.
(c) The Seller shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Purchaser
from and against any and all taxes, except for taxes on the net income of the
Purchaser, that may at any time be asserted against the Purchaser with respect
to the transactions contemplated herein, including, without limitation, any
sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property,
privilege, or license taxes and costs and expenses in defending against the
same.
(d) The Seller shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Purchaser
from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and
liabilities to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or
liability arose out of, or was imposed upon the Purchaser through, the
negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith of the Seller in the performance
of its duties under the Agreement, or by reason of reckless disregard of the
Seller's obligations and duties under the Agreement.
(e) The Seller shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Purchaser
from and against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities
arising out of or incurred in connection with the acceptance or performance of
the Seller's trusts and duties as Servicer under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, except to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or
liability shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence
(except for errors in judgment) of the Purchaser.
Indemnification under this Section 5.6 shall include reasonable fees
and expenses of litigation and shall survive payment of the Notes and
Certificates. These indemnity obligations shall be in addition to any obligation
that the Seller may otherwise have.
5.7. Sale. The Seller agrees to treat this conveyance for all purposes
(including without limitation tax and financial accounting purposes) as a sale
on all relevant books, records, tax returns, financial statements and other
applicable documents.
5.8. Non-Petition. In the event of any breach of a representation and
warranty made by the Purchaser hereunder, the Seller covenants and agrees that
it will not take any action to pursue any remedy that it may have hereunder, in
law, in equity or otherwise, until a year and a day have passed since the date
on which all certificates issued by the Trust or a similar trust formed by the
Purchaser have been paid in full. The Purchaser and the Seller agree that
damages will not be an adequate remedy for such breach and that this covenant
may be specifically enforced by the Purchaser or by the Trust.
ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
6.1. Obligations of Seller. The obligations of the Seller under this
Agreement shall not be affected by reason of any invalidity, illegality or
irregularity of any Receivable.
6.2. Repurchase Events. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees with the
Purchaser for the benefit of the Purchaser, the Trustee, the Insurer and the
Securityholders, that (i) the occurrence of a breach of any of the Seller's
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.2(b) hereof (without
regard to any limitations regarding the Seller's knowledge) and (ii) the failure
of the Seller to timely comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 5.5
hereof, shall constitute events obligating the Seller to repurchase the affected
Receivables (including any affected Samco Receivables) hereunder ("Repurchase
Events"), at the Purchase Amount from the Trust. Unless the breach of any of the
Seller's representations and warranties shall have been cured by the last day of
the second Collection Period following the discovery thereof by or notice to the
Purchaser and the Seller of such breach, the Seller shall repurchase any
Receivable if such Receivable is materially and adversely affected by the breach
as of the last day of such second Collection Period (or, at the Seller's option,
the last day of the first Collection Period following the discovery) and, in the
event that the breach relates to a characteristic of the Receivables in the
aggregate, and if the Trust is materially and adversely affected by such breach,
unless the breach shall have been cured by such second Collection Period, the
Seller shall purchase such aggregate Principal Balance of Receivables, such that
following such purchase such representation shall be true and correct with
respect to the remainder of the Receivables in the aggregate. The provisions of
this Section 6.2 are intended to grant the Trustee a direct right against the
Seller to demand performance hereunder, and in connection therewith the Seller
waives any requirement of prior demand against the Purchaser and waives any
defaults it would have against the Purchaser with respect to such repurchase
obligation. Any such purchase shall
take place in the manner specified in Section 5.6 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6.2, the Purchase Amount of a Receivable
which is not consistent with the warranty pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(iv)(a)(5)
or (iv)(a)(6) shall include such additional amount as shall be necessary to
provide the full amount of interest as contemplated therein. The sole remedy
hereunder of the Securityholders, the Trust, the Insurer, the Trustee or the
Purchaser against the Seller with respect to any Repurchase Event shall be to
enforce the Seller's obligation to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Seller shall indemnify the Trustee, the
Insurer, the Trust and the Securityholders against all costs, expenses, losses,
damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them, as a result
of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such
breach. Upon receipt of the Purchase Amount, the Purchaser shall cause the
Trustee to release the related Receivables File to the Seller and to execute and
deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as are
necessary to vest in the Seller title to the Receivable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if it is determined that consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indentures and the other
transaction documents referenced in such Agreement, servicing and operation of
the Trust pursuant to Trust Agreement and such other documents, or the ownership
of a Security by a Holder constitutes a violation of the prohibited transaction
rules of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code") for which
no statutory exception or administrative exemption applies, such violation shall
not be treated as a Repurchase Event.
6.3. Seller's Assignment of Purchased Receivables. With respect to all
Receivables repurchased by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser
shall assign, without recourse except as provided herein, representation or
warranty, to the Seller all the Purchaser's right, title and interest in and to
such Receivables, and all security and documents relating thereto.
6.4. Conveyance as Sale of Receivables Not Financing. The parties
hereto intend that the conveyance hereunder be a sale of the CPS Receivables and
the other Transferred CPS Property from the Seller to the Purchaser and not a
financing secured by such assets; and the beneficial interest in and title to
the CPS Receivables and the other Transferred CPS 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. In the event that any conveyance
hereunder is for any reason not considered a sale, the parties intend that this
Agreement constitute a security agreement under the UCC (as defined in the UCC
as in effect in the State of California) and applicable law, and the Seller
hereby grants to the Purchaser a first priority perfected security interest in,
to and under the CPS Receivables and the other Transferred CPS Property being
delivered to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and other property conveyed
hereunder and all proceeds of any of the foregoing for the purpose of securing
payment and performance of the Securities and the repayment of amounts owed to
the Purchaser from the Seller.
6.5. Trust. The Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser will, pursuant
to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, sell the Receivables to the Trust and
assign its rights under this
Purchase Agreement and the Samco Purchase Agreement to the Trust, and that the
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the rights of the
Purchaser under this Purchase Agreement, including under Sections 6.2 and 6.4
hereof are intended to benefit such Trust and the Securityholders. The Seller
also acknowledges that the Trustee on behalf of the Securityholders as assignee
of the Purchaser's rights hereunder may directly enforce, without making any
prior demand on the Purchaser, all the rights of the Purchaser hereunder
including the rights under Section 6.2 and 6.4 hereof. The Seller hereby
consents to such sale and assignment.
6.6. Amendment. This Purchase Agreement may be amended from time to
time by a written amendment duly executed and delivered by the Seller and the
Purchaser with the consent of the Insurer; provided, however, that (i) any such
amendment that materially adversely affects the rights of the Class A
Noteholders under the Sale and Servicing Agreement must be consented to by the
holders of Class A Notes representing more than 50% of the outstanding principal
amount of Class A Notes and (ii) any amendment that materially adversely affects
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Sale and Servicing Agreement must
be consented to by the holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the
Certificate Balance.
6.7. Accountants' Letters. (a) KPMG Peat Marwick LLP will review the
characteristics of the Receivables and will compare those characteristics to the
information with respect to the Receivables contained in the Offering Documents;
(b) The Seller will cooperate with the Purchaser and KPMG Peat Marwick LLP in
making available all information and taking all steps reasonably necessary to
permit such accountants to complete the review set forth in Section 6.7(a) above
and to deliver the letters required of them under the Underwriting Agreement;
and (c) KPMG Peat Marwick LLP will deliver to the Purchaser a letter, dated the
Closing Date, in the form previously agreed to by the Seller and the Purchaser,

Offering Documents under the captions "CPS's Automobile Contract Portfolio
--Delinquency and Loss Experience" and "The Receivables Pool", certain
information relating to the Receivables on magnetic tape obtained from the
Seller and the Purchaser and with respect to such other information as may be
agreed in the form of letter.
6.8. Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser in
exercising any power, right or remedy under the Agreements shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power,
right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other power, right or remedy.
6.9. Notices. All communications and notices pursuant hereto to either
party shall be in writing or by telegraph or telex and addressed or delivered to
it at its address (or in case of telex, at its telex number at such address)
shown in the opening portion of this Purchase Agreement or at such other address
as may be designated by it by notice to the other party and, if mailed or sent
by telegraph or telex, shall be deemed given when mailed, communicated to the
telegraph office or transmitted by telex.
6.10. Costs and Expenses. The Seller will pay all expenses incident to
the performance of its obligations under this Purchase Agreement and the Seller
agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Purchaser,
excluding fees and expenses of counsel, in connection with the perfection as
against third parties of the Purchaser's right, title and interest in and to the
CPS Receivables and security interests in the Financed Vehicles and the
enforcement of any obligation of the Seller hereunder.
6.11. Representations of the Seller and the Purchaser. The respective
agreements, representations, warranties and other statements by the Seller and
the Purchaser set forth in or made pursuant to this Purchase Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect and will survive the closing under Section 2.2
hereof.
6.12. Confidential Information. The Purchaser agrees that it will
neither use nor disclose to any Person the names and addresses of the Obligors,
except in connection with the enforcement of the Purchaser's rights hereunder,
under the CPS Receivables, under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or as required
by law.
6.13. Headings and Cross-References. The various headings in this
Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or
interpretation of any provision of this Purchase Agreement. References in this
Purchase Agreement to Section names or numbers are to such Sections of this
Purchase Agreement.
6.14. Third Party Beneficiaries. The parties hereto hereby expressly
agree that each of the Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders and the
Insurer shall be third party beneficiaries with respect to this Purchase
Agreement, provided, however, that no third party other than the Trustee for the
benefit of the Securityholders and the Credit Enhancer shall be deemed a third
