FUNDINGS OF TRUST; TRANSFERS OF CONTRACTS

Section 2.01 Creation and Funding of Trust; Transfer of Transferred Assets to Trust. (a) The Trust has been created (i) pursuant to an initial trust agreement as amended and restated by the Trust Agreement, and (ii) by the filing by the Delaware Trustee of an appropriately completed Certificate of Trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. The Depositor, as settlor of the Trust, shall fund and convey assets to the Trust pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof. The Trust shall be administered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Administration Agreement and the Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholder. Each of the Owner Trustee and the Administrator (as defined in the Administration Agreement) is hereby specifically recognized by the parties hereto as empowered to conduct business dealings on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Trust Agreement and Administration Agreement.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Depositor, in consideration of the purchase price of the Contracts and the related Transferred Assets and the retention of the Equity Certificate, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trust, on the Closing Date, by execution of this Agreement, without recourse (other than as

expressly provided herein), (i) all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Contracts and the related Transferred Assets identified in this Agreement, and (ii) all income from and proceeds of the foregoing. The “purchase price” for the Contracts and the related Transferred Assets shall be an amount equal to $[ ]. Such purchase price shall be payable in immediately available funds on the Closing Date.

(c) The parties hereto hereby agree and acknowledge that title to or ownership of any related Equipment shall not be transferred to the Trust upon such conveyance and that the Depositor shall retain its ownership interest (to the extent the same has been so conveyed to the Depositor pursuant to the VFC Purchase Agreement, the Non-VFC Purchase Agreement, the Series 2005-EF1 VFC Purchase Agreement and the VFC Assignment) in such Equipment (provided, that the parties agree and intend that any mere security interest, as opposed to title or ownership interest, in the related Equipment which secures the Contract pursuant to the terms thereof, is being assigned and conveyed as part of the Transferred Assets in accordance with the definition thereof). The Depositor and the Trust further intend and agree that, except as described in the preceding sentence with respect to ownership interests in related Equipment, any such transfer is intended to be a conveyance and transfer of ownership of the Contracts and the related Transferred Assets (or Substitute Transferred Assets conveyed as described in Section 2.03 below) and that such Contracts and the related Transferred Assets shall not be part of the Depositor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Depositor under any bankruptcy law. In the event, however, that notwithstanding such intent and agreement, a transfer and assignment contemplated hereby (or Substitution Transfer Agreement, as applicable) is determined not to be a conveyance of ownership, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trust a first priority perfected security interest in (i) the right, title, and interest of the Depositor in and to such Contracts and the related Transferred Assets identified herein (or Substitution Transfer Agreement, as applicable), and (ii) all income from and proceeds of the foregoing, and this Agreement (or Substitution Transfer Agreement, as applicable), collectively, shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, securing the related obligations of the Trust to the Noteholder and the Equity Certificateholder, in the order and priorities, and subject to the other terms and conditions of, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with such other obligations or interests as may arise hereunder and thereunder with respect to such Contracts and the related Transferred Assets in favor of the parties thereto.

(d) In furtherance of and not in limitation of any of the foregoing, the Depositor with respect to each item of Equipment owned by it as described above, by execution and delivery of this Agreement (or Substitution Transfer Agreement, as applicable), hereby on and as of the Closing Date (or Substitution Transfer Date, as applicable) grants to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in the right, title, and interest of the Depositor in and to such item of owned Equipment, securing in each case an amount payable by the Trust in respect of the Notes corresponding to the Contract Principal Balance from time to time of the related Contract; it being understood, however, that (i) recourse to such Equipment in realization of the benefits of such security interest shall only occur if the related Contract has become a Liquidated Contract, and (ii) the application of Liquidation Proceeds realized therefrom shall be governed in accordance with the provisions hereof generally applicable to such Collections and allocation in accordance with the Allocation Criteria.

(e) The Depositor, by execution and delivery of this Agreement (or Substitution Transfer Agreement, as applicable) authorizes the Trust to file UCC financing statements naming the Depositor as Debtor, the Trust as Secured Party and the Indenture Trustee as Assignee in each jurisdiction that the Depositor deems necessary in order to protect its security interests in the Contracts and Equipment.

Section 2.02 Acceptance by Trust. On the Closing Date the Trust shall issue, and the Owner Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee as its authenticating agent under the Trust Agreement, shall authenticate, to, or upon the order of, the Depositor and in accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Equity Certificate representing ownership of a beneficial interest in 100% of the Trust and the Trust shall issue, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate, to, or upon the order of, the Depositor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture the Notes secured by the Collateral. The Trust hereby acknowledges its acceptance of the Trust Assets, and declares that it shall maintain such right and interest in the Trust Assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement upon the trust herein and therein set forth.

Section 2.03 Conveyance of Substitute Contracts. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in (and the other terms and conditions of) this Section 2.03, the Depositor may substitute other Contracts and related assets for Contracts and related Transferred Assets previously conveyed to the Trust and in the Contract Pool, by conveying such other Contracts and related assets to the Trust pursuant to all procedures and documentation specified below. Upon the effectiveness of such substitution, such other Contracts and related Transferred Assets (such Contracts, “Substitute Contracts”, and collectively, “Substitute Transferred Assets”) shall, for all purposes of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement, constitute and be considered as part of the Trust Assets, and the Contracts already in the Contract Pool and related Transferred Assets for which the Substitute Contract Assets have been substituted (such Contracts, “Replaced Contracts”, and collectively, “Replaced Assets”) shall no longer constitute Trust Assets. Upon consummation of such substitution, the Trust shall be deemed to have assigned to the Depositor all of the Trust’s right, title and interest in and to the Replaced Assets, without recourse, representation or warranty.

In addition, the parties hereto intend and agree that any conveyance described in this Section 2.03 is made with the intent and effect described in subsection (c) of Section 2.01 above.

(b) Subject to the conditions set forth in this subsection (b) below, and pursuant to one or more related Substitution Transfer Agreements, the Depositor shall transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trust, without recourse (other than as expressly provided herein), (i) all the right and interest of the Depositor in and to the Substitute Contracts listed on the related Substitution Schedule of Contracts, and (ii) all other rights and property interests consisting of Transferred Assets related to such Substitute Contracts, provided, that the Depositor may not make substitutions for Prepaid Contracts until the Class A-1 Notes have been paid in full. The Depositor shall effect such transfers only upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to the related Substitution Transfer Date (and the delivery of a related Substitution Notice by the Depositor shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Depositor that such conditions have been or will be, as of the related Substitution Transfer Date, satisfied):

(i) at least five days prior to the related Substitution Transfer Date, the Depositor shall have provided the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee with a Substitution Notice complying with the definition thereof contained herein;

(ii) there shall have occurred, with respect to each such Substitute Contract, a corresponding Substitution Event with respect to one or more intended Replaced Contracts then constituting Contracts in the Contract Pool;

(iii) the Substitute Contract(s) being conveyed to the Trust, satisfy the Substitute Contract Qualification Conditions;

(iv) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust a duly executed written assignment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto (a “Substitution Transfer Agreement”), which shall include a Substitution Schedule of Contracts identifying the Substitute Contracts and the related Replaced Contracts;

(v) CFUSA shall have delivered to the Depositor and the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust a duly executed Substitution Assignment Agreement with respect to such conveyance;

(vi) no selection procedures adverse to the interests of either the Trust, the Noteholders or the Equity Certificateholder shall have been utilized in selecting the Substitute Contracts;

(vii) each of the representations and warranties made by CFUSA pursuant to Article III of the Series 2005-EF1 VFC Purchase Agreement or Non-VFC Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, shall be true and correct as of the related Substitution Transfer Date (including the representation made as to compliance with the UCC filing criteria set forth in clause (j) of the definition of Eligible Contract), and CFUSA shall have performed in all material respects all obligations to be performed by it under the Series 2005-EF1 VFC Purchase Agreement or Non-VFC Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, on or prior to such Substitution Transfer Date; and

(viii) the Servicer and CFUSA and the Financing Originator shall, at their own expense, on or prior to the Substitution Transfer Date, have indicated in their respective computer files that the Substitute Contracts identified on the Substitution Schedule of Contracts attached to the related Substitution Transfer Agreement have been assigned and conveyed to the Trust through the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement and the Series 2005-EF1 VFC Purchase Agreement or Non-VFC Purchase Agreement, as the case may be.

The failure to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions to transfer or to obtain a waiver thereof shall not be deemed to adversely affect the validity of any such transfer.

Section 2.04 Release of Excluded Amounts. The Trust hereby agrees to release to the Servicer, an amount equal to the Excluded Amounts immediately upon identification thereof, which release shall be automatic and shall require no further act by the Trust, provided that the Trust shall execute and deliver such instruments of release and assignment, or otherwise

confirm the foregoing release, as may reasonably be requested in writing by the Servicer. Upon such release, such Excluded Amounts shall not constitute and shall not be included in the Trust Assets.

Section 2.05 Waiver. The Trust hereby waives, releases and terminates (i) any rights it may have in any equipment (other than the Equipment financed by any Contract) as security for any obligations owing to it under the Contracts, (ii) any rights it may have in any property as security for any Contract other than the rights relating to the related Equipment which secures such Contract and the proceeds thereof and (iii) any rights it may have to apply moneys received under a receivable that was not sold to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.01. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing in no way constitutes a waiver, release or termination of any of the rights of the Trust with respect to the Equipment financed by any Contract and the rights related to such Equipment.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 3.01 Representations and Warranties of CFUSA. Under the Purchase and Sale Agreements, CFUSA has made, and upon execution of each Substitution Assignment Agreement is deemed to remake with respect to the relevant Contract Assets conveyed by the Non-VFC Purchase Agreement, or the Series 2005-EF1 VFC Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, each of the representations and warranties set forth in the Schedule of Representations, and has consented (in consideration of the Depositor’s purchase of the Contracts) to the assignment by the Depositor to the Trust of the Depositor’s rights with respect thereto. Such representations speak as of the Closing Date in the case of the Initial Contracts, and as of the applicable Substitution Transfer Date in the case of the Substitute Contracts, but shall survive the transfer and assignment of the related Contracts to the Trust. Pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement, the Depositor has sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Trust as part of the Transferred Assets its rights under the Purchase and Sale Agreements, including without limitation, the representations and warranties of CFUSA therein as set forth in the Schedule of Representations, together with all rights of the Depositor with respect to any breach thereof including any right to require CFUSA to repurchase or substitute for any Contract in accordance with the Purchase and Sale Agreements. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth or referred to in this Section shall survive delivery of the Contract Files to the Trust or any custodian.

The Depositor hereby confirms to the Trust that it has entered into the Purchase and Sale Agreements with CFUSA, that CFUSA has made the representations and warranties in the Schedule of Representations, that such representations and warranties run to and are for the benefit of the Trust, and that pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement the Depositor has transferred and assigned to the Trust all rights of the Depositor to cause CFUSA under the Purchase and Sale Agreements to repurchase or substitute for Contracts conveyed thereunder in the event of a breach of such representations and warranties applicable to such Contract.

Section 3.02 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. By its execution of this Agreement, and each Substitution Transfer Agreement, the Depositor represents and

warrants to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholder that, as of the Closing Date and Substitution Transfer Date (and, with respect to the representation set forth in subsection (k) of this Section 3.02 below, as of the date the certificate, written report or written statement referred to in such subsection is furnished):

(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Depositor is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged. The Depositor is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it, or properties owned or leased by it, requires such qualification and in which the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Depositor or the Trust.

(b) Authorization; Valid Transfer; Binding Obligations. The Depositor has the power and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and to create the Trust and cause it to make, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action to authorize the due execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to cause the Trust to be created. This Agreement and any Substitution Transfer Agreement shall effect a valid transfer and assignment of the right, title, and interest of the Depositor in and to relevant Transferred Assets, enforceable against the Depositor and creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Depositor is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Depositor and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, any applicable law imposing limitations upon, or otherwise affecting, the availability or enforcement of rights to indemnification hereunder and by the availability of equitable remedies. The Depositor is selling the Transferred Assets to the Trust with the intention of removing the Transferred Assets from the estate of the Depositor pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) No Consent Required. The Depositor is not required to obtain the consent of any other Person or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by the Depositor, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will not violate any Requirements of Law applicable to the Depositor, or constitute a material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which the Depositor is a party or by which the Depositor or any of the Depositor’s properties may be bound, or result in the creation or

imposition of any security interest, lien, charge, pledge, preference, equity or encumbrance of any kind upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement, other than as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the knowledge of the Depositor threatened, against the Depositor or any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party (1) which, if adversely determined, would in the reasonable judgment of the Depositor have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Depositor or the Trust or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which the Depositor is a party or (2) seeking to adversely affect the federal income tax or other federal, state or local tax attributes of the Notes.

(f) Taxes. The Depositor has filed or caused to be filed all material tax returns which, to its knowledge, are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any material assessments made against it or any of its property and all other material taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any amount of tax due, the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been provided on the books of the Depositor); no tax lien has been filed and, to the Depositor’s knowledge, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

(g) Schedule of Representations. The representations and warranties set forth on the Schedule of Representations are true and correct as of the Closing Date (or Substitution Transfer Date, as applicable) with respect to the Transferred Assets being conveyed to the Trust on such date.

(h) Solvency. The Depositor, at the time of and after giving effect to each conveyance made hereunder, is Solvent on and as of the date thereof.

(i) Domicile; Name Changes. The Depositor’s state of organization has not been changed within the four months preceding the Closing Date and any Substitution Transfer Date (or if so changed, all necessary actions in connection with such change have been or are being timely taken in accordance with Section 4.03 hereof). The Depositor has not changed its name, whether by amendment of its certificate of formation, by reorganization or otherwise, within the four months preceding such date (or if so changed, all necessary actions in connection with such change have been or are being timely taken in accordance with Section 4.03 hereof).

(j) Not an Investment Company. The Depositor is not an “investment company” (and does not control, and is not under the control of, an investment company) within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (or the Depositor is exempt from all provisions of such Act).

(k) Accuracy of Information. No certificate, written report or written statement furnished by the Depositor to the Servicer, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, any Securityholder or the Administrator in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document was inaccurate in any material respect as of the date it was dated or (except as otherwise disclosed to the Servicer, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, such Securityholder or the Administrator, as the case may be, at such time) as of the date so furnished.

(l) Security Interest. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Contracts in favor of the Trust, which security interest is prior to all other Liens (other than Permitted Liens), and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor. The Depositor has caused, or will have caused within ten days after the date hereof, the filing of all appropriate UCC financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Contracts granted to the Trust hereunder. All UCC financing statements filed or to be filed against the Depositor in favor of the Trust in connection herewith describing the Contracts contain or will contain a statement to the effect that a purchase of or security interest in any Contracts described in such financing statement will violate the rights of the Trust.

(m) Priority. Other than the security interest granted to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement, the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Contracts (other than to the VFC Trust, which Contracts were reconveyed to the Depositor pursuant to the VFC Assignment). The Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Depositor that include a description of collateral covering the Contracts other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Trust hereunder or that has been terminated (other than to the VFC Trust, which security interests were reconveyed to the Depositor pursuant to UCC-1 or UCC-3 Assignments). The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against it.

Such representations (except to the extent expressly stated by their terms to speak as of a different date or time) speak as of the Closing Date and each Substitution Transfer Date, if any, but shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Contracts to the Trust.

Section 3.03 Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. The Servicer represents and warrants to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholder that, as of the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date and each Substitution Transfer Date:

(a) Organization and Good Standing.

The Servicer is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification and in which the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Servicer or the Trust. The Servicer (or any permitted subservicer hereunder

with respect to affected Contracts, if the Servicer is not so licensed) is properly licensed in each jurisdiction to the extent required by the laws of such jurisdiction to service the Contracts in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Authorization; Binding Obligations.

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Servicer and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable against the Servicer in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, any applicable law imposing limitations upon, or otherwise affecting, the availability or enforcement of rights to indemnification hereunder and by the availability of equitable remedies.

(c) No Consent Required. The Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of any other Person or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party.

(d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party by the Servicer will not violate any Requirements of Law applicable to the Servicer, or constitute a material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which the Servicer is a party or by which the Servicer or any of the Servicer’s properties may be bound, or result in the creation of or imposition of any security interest, lien, pledge, preference, equity or encumbrance of any kind upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement, other than as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the knowledge of the Servicer threatened, against the Servicer or any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party which, if adversely determined, would in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Servicer or the Trust or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party.

(f) Accuracy of Information. No certificate, written report or written statement, furnished by the Servicer to the Depositor, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, any Securityholder or the Administrator in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document was inaccurate in any material respect as of the date it was dated or (except as otherwise disclosed to the Depositor, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, such Securityholder or the

Administrator, as the case may be, at such time) as of the date so furnished.

ARTICLE IV

PERFECTION OF TRANSFERS AND PROTECTION OF SECURITY INTERESTS

Section 4.01 Custody of Contracts. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.01, the contents of each Contract File shall be held in the custody of the Servicer (including through any subservicer contemplated under Section 5.05), for the benefit of, and as agent for, the Noteholders, the Equity Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust, as the owner thereof.

(b) The Servicer agrees to maintain the Contract Files at its offices where they are currently maintained, or at such other offices of the Servicer (or a subservicer contemplated under Section 5.05) as shall from time to time be established by the Servicer or such subservicer (or in certain instances at offsite storage facilities in the same general geographic area as an office of the Servicer or subservicer, pursuant to contractual agreement between the Servicer or subservicer and the Person owning or maintaining such offsite facility). The Servicer may temporarily move individual Contract Files or any portion thereof without notice or other such compliance, as necessary to conduct collection and other servicing activities in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that the Servicer will take all action necessary to maintain the perfection of the Trust’s interest in the Trust Assets and the proceeds thereof. It is intended that by the Servicer’s agreement pursuant to Section 4.01(a) above and this Section 4.01(b), the Trust and the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Trust shall be deemed to have possession of the Contract Files for purposes of Section 9-301 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the Contract Files are located.

(i) hold the Contract Files on behalf of the Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholder and the Trust; maintain accurate records pertaining to each Contract to enable it to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and maintain a current inventory thereof,

(ii) maintain and comply with Customary Policies and Procedures with respect to Persons authorized to have access to the Contract Files;

(iii) attend to all details in connection with maintaining custody of the Contract Files on behalf of the Noteholder and the Equity Certificateholder and the Trust; and

(iv) indicate in the appropriate computer records that the Contracts as of the Closing Date (or Substitution Transfer Date, as the case may be) have been conveyed to the Trust.

(d) In performing its duties under this Section 4.01, the Servicer agrees to act in accordance with the applicable Servicing Standard. In acting as custodian of the Contract Files, the Servicer further agrees not to assert any legal or beneficial ownership interest in the Contracts or the Contract Files, except as provided in Section 5.02.

(e) The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Trust for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments, costs, or expenses of any kind whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of such parties as the result of any act or omission by the Servicer relating to the maintenance and custody of the Contract Files or any other breach or noncompliance of the Servicer in the performance of its duties and obligations as Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Servicer will not be liable to any such party for any portion of any such amount resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such party.

Section 4.02 Filings. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall cause UCC financing statement(s) to be filed or provided for, and from time to time the Servicer shall take and cause to be taken such other actions and execute such other documents as are necessary to perfect or further perfect and protect the Trust’s first priority interest in the Trust Assets against all other Persons. Such additional actions may include without limitation, the filing of financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements, the execution of transfer instruments and the making of notations on or taking possession of records or documents of title. This Section 4.02 shall not apply to the Trust’s interests in Vehicles, which shall be maintained as described in Section 4.04 below.

Section 4.03 Name Change or Relocation. (a) During the term of this Agreement, neither the Servicer nor the Depositor shall change, nor shall the Servicer permit the Financing Originator to change, (x) its state of organization, name, identity or structure or location within the meaning of the applicable UCC or (y) the location of the Contract Files, without first giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee.

(b) If any change in either the Servicer’s, the Financing Originator’s or the Depositor’s name, identity or structure or other action would make any financing or continuation statement or notice of lien seriously misleading within the meaning of applicable provisions of the UCC or any title statute, the Servicer, no later than four months after the effective date of such change, shall file such amendments as may be required to preserve and protect the Trust’s interests in the Trust Assets and the proceeds thereof. In addition, neither the Financing Originator, the Servicer nor the Depositor shall change its state of organization or the

location of the Contract Files unless it has first taken such action as is necessary to preserve and protect the Trust’s interest in the Trust Assets.

Promptly after taking any of the foregoing actions (but not later than 20 calendar days), the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements or amendments necessary to preserve and protect the interests of the Trust and Indenture Trustee in the Trust Assets have been filed, and reciting the details of such filing.

(a) With respect to each Contract secured by a Vehicle, the Servicer, in accordance with the Customary Policies and Procedures, shall, at its own expense, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Contract in the related Vehicle in favor of the Financing Originator. The Servicer hereby agrees to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest in the name of the Financing Originator in the event of the relocation of a Vehicle to a jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which steps had been taken to perfect the security interest in favor of the Financing Originator; provided, however, that the Servicer will not amend any certificate of title to name CFUSA, the Depositor or the Trust as the lienholder, and neither the Servicer nor the Depositor will be required to deliver any certificate of title to the Trust or note thereon the Trust’s interest. In the event that the assignment of the Contract to the Trust is insufficient, without a notation on the related Vehicle’s certificate of title, to grant to the Trust a perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, CITEF, in its capacity as Financing Originator hereby agrees to serve as the Trust’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the security interest in such Financed Vehicle and that the Financing Originator’s listing as the secured party on the certificate of title is in the capacity as agent of the Trust.

(b) If, at any time after CITEF is no longer the Servicer and the Successor Servicer is unable to foreclose upon a Vehicle because the title document for such Vehicle does not show such Successor Servicer or the Trust as the lienholder, CITEF shall take all necessary steps to apply for a replacement title document showing the Successor Servicer or the Trust as the secured party; provided that the Successor Servicer shall reimburse CITEF for reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.

(c) In order to facilitate the Successor Servicer’s actions, as described in subsection 4.04(b) hereof, CITEF will provide the Successor Servicer with any necessary power of attorney permitting it to retitle the Vehicle. The Depositor hereby appoints the Trust (acting through the Owner Trustee or the Servicer) its attorney-in fact to endorse, as appropriate, the certificate of title relating to any Vehicle in order to cause a change in the registration of legal owner of the Vehicle to the Trust at such time as such certificate of title is endorsed and delivered to the appropriate state department of motor vehicles with appropriate fees. The Depositor will provide the Trust with any necessary power of attorney for such purpose.

(d) If the Successor Servicer is unable to retitle the Vehicle, in the event that the Successor Servicer seeks to foreclose on a Vehicle then CITEF will take all actions reasonably necessary to act with the Successor Servicer, to the extent permitted by law, to

foreclose upon the Vehicle, provided that the Successor Servicer shall reimburse CITEF for reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.

ARTICLE V

SERVICING OF CONTRACTS

Section 5.01 Initial Servicer’s Appointment and Acceptance; Responsibility for Contract Administration. CITEF shall be and is hereby appointed as the Servicer and custodian (as contemplated in Article IV hereof) pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Contract Assets in the Contract Pool. CITEF accepts the appointment and agrees to act as the Servicer and custodian pursuant to this Agreement.

Except to the extent otherwise specified herein or as contemplated in Section 5.05, the Servicer will have the sole obligation to manage, administer, service and make collections on the Contracts and perform or cause to be performed all contractual and customary undertakings of the Originator of the Contracts to the Obligor. The Trust, at the written request of a Servicing Officer, shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney or other documents necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Servicer to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer is hereby appointed the Servicer hereunder until such time as any Servicing Transfer may be effected pursuant to Article VIII hereof.

Section 5.02 General Duties. The Servicer will service, administer and enforce the Contracts in the Contract Pool on behalf of the Trust and will have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it deems necessary or desirable and as shall not contravene the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Servicer will manage, service, administer, and make collections on the Contracts in the Contract Pool in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Servicer’s duties will include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors regarding the Contracts in the Contract Pool, investigating delinquencies, accounting for collections, furnishing reports with respect to collections and payments as contemplated in Article IX hereof, making Servicer Advances in accordance with Section 5.14 hereof, and using its best efforts to maintain the perfected first priority interest of the Trust in the Trust Assets (subject to Permitted Liens). The Servicer will have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration, and collection that it deems necessary or desirable. If the Servicer commences a legal proceeding to enforce a Defaulted Contract pursuant to Section 5.15 or commences or participates in a legal proceeding (including a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Contract in the Contract Pool, the Trust will be deemed to have automatically assigned such Contract to the Servicer solely for purposes of, and to the extent necessary for, commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant (but in all cases subject to the continuing interest of the Trust and its assignees in the proceeds and recoveries from such proceedings, as and to the extent provided in the Transaction Documents), and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Trust, pursuant to this Section 5.02, to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself and the Trust, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in

connection with any such proceedings. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Contract on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Contract, then the Trust will, at the Servicer’s expense and written direction, take steps to enforce the Contract.

Section 5.03 Assignment or Replacement. At the request of an Obligor, the Servicer may in its sole discretion consent to the assignment by such Obligor of its rights under a Contract in the Contract Pool or the sublease of a unit of the Equipment relating to such a Contract, so long as such Obligor remains liable for all of its obligations under such Contract; provided, that the Servicer may release such Obligor from its obligations if the Obligor’s assignee is determined by the Servicer to be of at least equivalent credit risk, all in accordance with Customary Policies and Procedures. Upon the request of any Obligor, the Servicer may, in its sole discretion, provide for the substitution or replacement of any unit of Equipment for a substantially similar unit of Equipment, so long as such Obligor remains liable for all of its obligations under such Contract.

Section 5.04 Disposition Upon Termination of Contract. Upon the termination of a Contract included in the Contract Pool as a result of a default by the Obligor thereunder, and upon any such Contract becoming a Defaulted Contract, the Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts to dispose of any related Equipment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Servicer disposes of any such Equipment by purchasing such Equipment or by selling such Equipment to any of its Affiliates, such disposition shall be for a purchase price equal to the fair market value thereof (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable discretion). The Servicer will deposit any Prepayments and any Liquidation Proceeds derived from any such disposition in accordance with Article VII hereof.

Section 5.05 Subservicers. The Servicer may enter into servicing agreements with one or more subservicers (including any Affiliate of the Servicer) to perform all or a portion of the servicing functions on behalf of the Servicer; provided that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Trust for servicing and administering the Contracts in the Contract Pool in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such subservicer, to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering such Contracts. The fees and expenses of the subservicer (if any) will be as agreed between the Servicer and its subservicer and neither the Owner Trustee, the Trust, the Indenture Trustee nor any Noteholder or Equity Certificateholder will have any responsibility therefor. All actions of a subservicer taken pursuant to such a sub-servicing agreement will be taken as an agent of the Servicer with the same force and effect as though performed by the Servicer.

Section 5.06 Further Assurance. The Trust will execute and deliver to the Servicer, and the Servicer will prepare and furnish any subservicer with, any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or a subservicer, as applicable, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 5.07 Notice to Obligors. In the event that the Servicer resigns or is replaced, then if the place for payment pursuant to any Contract is changed, the Successor

Servicer must give each related Obligor prompt written notice of the appointment of the Successor Servicer and the place to which such Obligor should make payments pursuant to each such Contract.

Section 5.08 Collection Efforts; Modification of Contracts. (a) The Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Contracts in the Contract Pool as and when the same become due, in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any Late Charges, or other administrative fees, expenses and charges collectible in respect of a Contract in the Contract Pool, including late payment interest, documentation fees, insurance administration charges, and extension fees.

(b) The Servicer also may, subject to Sections 5.09 and 5.10, at the request of an Obligor and at the Servicer’s option, waive, amend, modify or otherwise vary any other provision of a Contract in accordance with Customary Policies and Procedures (it being understood that any modification or amendment of a Contract resulting from an Insolvency Event with respect to the related Obligor will not be deemed to have been granted by the Servicer hereunder), including without limitation:

(i) in order to (A) change the Obligor’s regular due date to a date within the same Collection Period in which such due date occurs, or (B) re-amortize (over the remainder of the original Contract term) the Scheduled Payments on a Contract following a partial Prepayment (provided, that the sum of such partial Prepayment and the Contract Principal Balance of the affected Contract after re-amortization is at least equal to the Contract Principal Balance for such Contract prior to giving effect to the partial Prepayment), or

(ii) for any other purpose; provided, that no such modification or amendment shall:

(A) change the amount or the due date of any Scheduled Payment (except as provided in clauses (i)(A) and (B) above, Section 5.09 and Section 5.10 below);

(B) release the related Equipment from the Contract, unless (1) the release complies with Section 5.03 above, or (2) the release is pursuant to a partial Prepayment (which, in the case of a partial Prepayment on a Lease, meets the requirements of Section 5.09 below) and the ratio of the fair market value (determined by the Servicer in its reasonable discretion) of the related Equipment to the Contract Principal Balance of the affected Contract after giving effect to such Prepayment and release, is at least equal to such ratio existing prior to such event;

(C) except as provided in clause (ii)(A) above, result in the Contract Principal Balance of the Contract being less than it would have been absent such modification or amendment; or

(D) if such modification or amendment had been in effect on the Closing Date or the relevant Substitution Transfer Date with respect to the Contract, cause or have caused the Contract not to constitute an Eligible Contract.

Section 5.09 Prepayments of Certain Contracts. The Servicer may, at its option and in accordance with Customary Policies and Procedures, agree to permit a Contract in the Contract Pool that is not otherwise contractually prepayable by its terms and is not a Defaulted Contract, to become a Prepaid Contract through a voluntary Prepayment by the Obligor (which shall not be deemed to include prepayment due to a Casualty Loss); provided, that the Servicer will not permit the voluntary full or partial Prepayment of such a Contract unless the amount of such Prepayment (or, in the case of a partial Prepayment, the sum of such Prepayment and the remaining Contract Principal Balance of the Contract after application of such Prepayment), together with such additional amounts as are (i) otherwise available to or supplied by the Servicer for the purpose of prepaying such Contract, and (ii) deposited in the Collection Account contemporaneously with the deposit therein of such Prepayment, is at least equal to the Required Payoff Amount for such Contract determined as of the beginning of the current Collection Period.

Section 5.10 Certain Extensions; Acceleration. (a) The Servicer may (subject to subsection (b) below) grant payment extensions on a Contract in the Contract Pool, consistent with Customary Policies and Procedures (it being understood that any extensions on a Contract resulting from an Insolvency Event with respect to the related Obligor will not be deemed to have been granted by the Servicer hereunder) if the Servicer believes in good faith that such extension is necessary to avoid a termination and liquidation of such Contract and will maximize the amount to be received by the Trust with respect to such Contract; provided, however, that the aggregate period of all extensions granted on a Contract shall not exceed six months. Nothing in this Section 5.10 shall be deemed to prevent the Servicer from extending or renewing, or otherwise accepting the continued performance by the Obligor under, a Contract after expiration of its stated term.

(b) The Servicer also, consistent with Customary Policies and Procedures, may accelerate (or elect not to accelerate) the maturity of all or any Scheduled Payments under any Contract in the Contract Pool under which a default under the terms thereof has occurred and is continuing (after the lapse of any applicable grace period); provided that the Servicer may accelerate the Scheduled Payments due under any Contract in the Contract Pool (and take other action in accordance with applicable Customary Policies and Procedures, including repossessing or otherwise converting the related Equipment, to realize upon the value of such Contract and the related Equipment) to the fullest extent permitted by the terms of such Contract, promptly after such Contract becomes a Defaulted Contract.

Section 5.11 Taxes and Other Amounts. To the extent provided for in any Contract in the Contract Pool, the Servicer will make reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect (or cause to be collected) all payments with respect to amounts due for taxes, assessments and insurance premiums relating to such Contract or the related Equipment and remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer on or prior to the date such payments are due.

Section 5.12 Suits by Servicer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer does not have any obligation pursuant to this Agreement to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its servicing duties under this Agreement.

Section 5.13 Remittances. The Servicer will remit and service all Collections in accordance with Article VII hereof.

Section 5.14 Servicer Advances. For any Collection Period, if the Servicer determines that any Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof) which was due and payable pursuant to a Contract in the Contract Pool during such Collection Period was not received prior to the end of such Collection Period, the Servicer shall make a Servicer Advance in an amount up to the amount of such delinquent Scheduled Payment (or portion thereof), to the extent that in its sole discretion it determines that it can recover such amount from subsequent Collections under the related Contract; provided, however, if a Person other than an affiliate of CITEF becomes the Servicer hereunder, such Person shall not be required to make a Servicer Advance. The Servicer will deposit any Servicer Advances into the Collection Account on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Deposit Date, in immediately available funds. The Servicer will be entitled to be reimbursed for Servicer Advances pursuant to Article VII hereof.

Section 5.15 Realization Upon Liquidated Contract. The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Equipment relating to a Liquidated Contract and will act as transfer and processing agent for Equipment or Applicable Security which it repossesses. The Servicer will follow such other practices and procedures, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in order to realize upon such Equipment or Applicable Security, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to enforce all obligations of Obligors and repossessing and selling such Equipment or Applicable Security at public or private sale in circumstances other than those described in the preceding sentence. In any case in which any such Equipment or Applicable Security has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the repossession of such Equipment or Applicable Security unless it determines in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the transfer or disposition of Equipment or Applicable Security relating to a Liquidated Contract in accordance with Article VII hereof.

Section 5.16 Maintenance of Insurance Policies. The Servicer will use reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to ensure that each Obligor complies with applicable insurance requirements set forth in the related Contract; provided that the Servicer, in accordance with Customary Policies and Procedures, may allow Obligors to self-insure. If an Obligor fails to maintain property damage insurance to the extent required under its Contract, the Servicer may, consistent with Customary Policies and Procedures, purchase and maintain such insurance on behalf of, and at the expense of (if the applicable Contract so provides), the Obligor. In connection with its activities as Servicer of Contracts in the Contract Pool, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trust and the Noteholders or Equity Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under each Insurance Policy and any such liability policy, and to settle, adjust and compromise such claims, in each case, consistent with the terms of each Contract.

Section 5.17 Certain Other Duties With Respect to Trust. The Servicer shall, and hereby agrees that it will, monitor the Trust’s compliance with all applicable provisions of

state and federal securities laws, notify the Trust and the Administrator of any actions to be taken by the Trust necessary for compliance with such laws and prepare on behalf of the Trust and the Administrator all notices, filings or other documents or instruments required to be filed under such laws.

Section 5.18 Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its servicing activities with respect to the Contract Pool, and also in consideration of its expenses as set forth in Section 5.19, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive a servicing fee in respect of any Collection Period (or portion thereof) (with respect to each Collection Period, the “Servicing Fee”), equal to the sum of (i) the product of one-twelfth of the Servicing Fee Percentage per annum multiplied by the Contract Pool Principal Balance as of the first day of such Collection Period (except that for the first Collection Period the Servicing Fee will be the sum of (A) the product of one-twelfth of the Servicing Fee Percentage per annum multiplied by the Contract Pool Principal Balance as of [ ], plus (B) the product of one-twelfth of the Servicing Fee Percentage per annum multiplied by the Contract Pool Principal Balance as of [ ]) and (ii) collections representing Late Charges, documentation fees, administrative charges or extension fees on any Contract, or maintenance premiums in respect of the related Equipment.

Section 5.19 Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer. The Servicer will be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, counsel, the Trustees, taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with payments and reports pursuant to this Agreement, and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement (including ongoing fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee and the Delaware Trustee) to be for the account of the Trust or the Depositor, but excluding Liquidation Expenses incurred as a result of activities contemplated by Section 5.15 (which may be netted from Liquidation Proceeds). The Servicer will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to the Owner Trustee and the Delaware Trustee or the Indenture Trustee in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment or reimbursement therefor other than the Servicing Fee, payable from Collections as provided herein.

Section 5.20 Records. The Servicer shall, during the period it is Servicer hereunder, maintain such books of account and other records as will enable the Trust or the Administrative Agent to determine the status of each Contract in the Contract Pool.

Section 5.21 Inspection. (a) The Servicer shall afford the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and their respective authorized agents not more frequently than once during each calendar year at the Servicer’s expense, not to exceed $1,000 in expenses and upon reasonable prior written request, reasonable access during normal business hours to the Servicer’s records relating to the Contracts in the Contract Pool, and will cause its personnel to assist in any examination of such records by any such Person, and allow copies of the same to be made. The examination referred to in this Section will be conducted in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations or customer or employee relations. Without otherwise limiting the scope of the examination, such examining party may, using generally accepted audit procedures, verify the status of each such Contract and review the Computer Disk and records relating thereto for conformity to reports prepared by the Servicer

pursuant to Article IX hereof, and compliance with the standards represented to exist as to each such Contract in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(b) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall keep available a copy of the Schedule of Contracts at its principal executive office for inspection by any such party referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 5.21.

Section 5.22 Trust To Cooperate in Releases. At the same time as (i) any Lease in the Contract Pool terminates and the Equipment related to such Lease is sold, (ii) any Contract in the Contract Pool becomes a Prepaid Contract and in connection therewith the Equipment related to such Prepaid Contract is sold, (iii) the final Scheduled Payment is made in full on a Contract in the Contract Pool, (iv) a Contract previously in the Contract Pool becomes a Replaced Contract in accordance with Section 2.03, or is repurchased by deposit of a Purchase Amount as provided herein, or (v) the Servicer substitutes or replaces any unit of Equipment as contemplated in Section 5.03, the Trust shall to the extent requested by the Servicer release the Trust’s interest in the Equipment relating to such affected Contract or such substituted or replaced Equipment, as the case may be; provided that such release will not constitute a release of the Trust’s interest in the proceeds of Equipment the subject of a Contract still in the Contract Pool (other than with respect to Equipment that is replaced pursuant to Section 5.03). In connection with any transfer of such Equipment, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any assignments, bills of sale, authorizations to file termination statements and any other releases and instruments as the Servicer may request and prepare at its expense in order to effect such release and transfer; provided that neither the Trust nor the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to make any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Equipment in connection with such transfer and assignment. Nothing in this Section 5.22 shall diminish the Servicer’s obligations pursuant to Article VII with respect to the proceeds of any such transfer.

Section 5.23 Separate Entity Existence. The Servicer is and at all times since its incorporation has been operated in such a manner that it would not be substantively consolidated with either the Depositor or the Trust and such that the separate existence of any of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Trust would not be disregarded in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Servicer.

Section 5.24 Assignment of Servicing. The Servicer may sell, transfer, assign or convey its rights as Servicer to any Eligible Servicer, upon written notice to the Trustees and the Rating Agencies, without the consent of the Securityholders or the Trustees, provided that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. No such sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance shall become effective until such Eligible Servicer shall have assumed all of the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer under the Transaction Documents.

(a) On or before the Closing Date, the Depositor (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall cause the Indenture Trustee to establish the Collection Account (the “Collection Account”) and the Reserve Account (the “Reserve Account”), each in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholder. The Servicer is hereby required to ensure that each of the Trust Accounts is established and maintained as a segregated corporate trust account with a Qualified Institution. If any institution with which any of the accounts established pursuant to this Section 7.01(a) ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Servicer shall within 30 days after notice of such event establish a replacement account at a Qualified Institution, and effect (or cause to be effected) a concurrent transfer of all amounts in the current non-qualifying account to the replacement account.

(b) (i) Subject to subsection 7.01(b)(ii) hereof, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, without deposit into any intervening account, into the Collection Account as promptly as practical after the Date of Processing (but in any case not later than the second Business Day following the Date of Processing thereof), all Collections on deposit with the Servicer in the form of available funds, and all Collections otherwise received by the Servicer (and all Investment Earnings from investments of the Collection Account).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for so long as, and only so long as,

(A) the Servicer or the direct or indirect parent of the Servicer shall have and maintain a short-term debt rating of at least “A-1” by Standard & Poor’s and either a short-term debt rating of “P -1 “ or a long-term debt rating of at least “A2” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, or

(B) the Servicer obtains a letter of credit, surety bond or insurance policy (the “Servicer Letter of Credit”) under which demands for payment may be made to secure timely remittance of monthly collections to the Collection Account and the Trustees are provided with a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that the utilization of such alternative remittance schedule and any amendment required to be made to this Agreement in connection therewith will not result in a qualification, reduction or withdrawal of its then current rating of the Notes,

the Servicer may make the deposits to the Collection Account specified in subsection 7.01(b)(i) hereof on a monthly basis, but not later than the Deposit Date following the last day of the Collection Period within which such payments were processed by the Servicer, in an amount equal to the net amount of such deposits and payments which would have been made to the Collection Account during such Collection Period but for the provisions of this subsection 7.01(b)(ii). In the event that the Servicer is permitted to make remittances of collections to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(ii)(B) hereof, this Agreement may be modified, to the extent necessary to provide for the Servicer Letter of Credit, without the consent of any Securityholder.

For purposes of determining the amount available to be withdrawn from the Reserve Account to pay the Class A-4 Interest Payment Amount, the Class A-4 Interest Rate will be calculated at the fixed swap rate of [ ]% per annum.

Once such funds of any Trust Account are invested, the Servicer shall not change or permit a change in the investment of such funds. Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall have sole control over each such investment and the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment, if any, shall be delivered directly to the Indenture Trustee or its agent, together with each document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Indenture Trustee in a manner which complies with this Section 7.03.

In the absence of timely written direction from the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall invest or cause to be invested amounts in the Trust Accounts in Eligible Investments of the type specified in clause (vi) of the definition of Eligible Investments herein.

Section 7.06 Repurchases of, or Substitution for, Contracts for Breach of Representations and Warranties.

As provided in the Series 2005-EF1 VFC Purchase Agreement and the Non-VFC Purchase Agreement and in accordance with this Section 7.06, CFUSA is obligated to repurchase each such Ineligible Contract, at a repurchase price equal to the Purchase Amount (determined as of the date such repurchase is to be funded), not later than the second Deposit Date following the date the Servicer becomes aware of any such breach or inaccuracy and which breach or inaccuracy has not otherwise been cured; provided, however, that if CFUSA is able to effect a substitution for any such Ineligible Contract in compliance with Section 2.03, CFUSA may, in lieu of repurchasing such Ineligible Contract, effect a substitution for such Ineligible Contract with a Substitute Contract not later than the date a repurchase of such Ineligible Contract would be required hereunder; and provided further, that with respect to a breach or inaccuracy of any such representations or warranties relating to the Contract Pool (or all Contracts conveyed on the Closing Date or Substitution Transfer Date, as the case may be) in the aggregate and not to any particular Contract, CFUSA (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) may select Contracts (without adverse selection) to repurchase (or substitute for) such that had such Contracts not been included as part of the related Transferred Assets (and, in the case of a substitution, had such Substitute Contract been included as part of the related Transferred Assets instead of the selected Ineligible Contract) there would have been no breach or inaccuracy of such representation or warranty. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of CFUSA under the Purchase and Sale Agreements and described in this Section 7.06 shall not terminate or be deemed released by any party hereto upon a Servicing Transfer pursuant to Article VIII. The right to enforce the repurchase or substitution obligation described in this Section shall constitute the sole remedy of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholder with respect to the inaccuracy or breach related to such Ineligible Contract. The Purchase Amount shall be allocated in accordance with the Allocation Criteria.

Section 7.07 Reassignment of Repurchased or Substituted Contracts. Upon deposit into the Collection Account of the Purchase Amount with respect to an Ineligible Contract as described in Section 7.06 (or upon the Substitution Transfer Date related to a Substitute Contract described in Section 7.06), or of the repurchase price set forth in Section 7.08, the Indenture Trustee shall release and reassign to CFUSA all of the Trust’s right and interest in the repurchased or substituted Contract and related Transferred Assets upon receipt of written instruction from the Servicer without recourse, representation or warranty, and such reassigned Contract shall no longer thereafter be included in any calculations of Contract Principal Balances required to be made hereunder or otherwise be deemed a part of the Trust Assets.

Section 7.08 The Servicer’s Purchase Option. On written notice to the Indenture Trustee at least twenty (20) days prior to a Payment Date, and provided that the aggregate Principal Amount of Notes outstanding on such Payment Date is less than 10% of the Initial Contract Pool Principal Balance, the Servicer may (but is not required to) repurchase from the Trust on that Payment Date all outstanding Contracts in the Contract Pool at a price equal to the sum of (a) the aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes plus accrued unpaid interest thereon as of such Payment Date, plus (b) the amount of unreimbursed Servicer Advances (if any) as well as accrued and unpaid monthly Servicing Fees to the date of such repurchase, plus (c) fees, expenses and indemnities owed to the Trustees, as applicable, plus (d) any Swap Trust Payment and any termination payments relative to the Swap Agreement minus (e) Collections and other Available Funds on deposit in the Collection Account and available to make such payments on such Payment Date (collectively the “Redemption Price”). If the Servicer elects to purchase the outstanding Contracts, the then outstanding Notes shall be redeemed on the Payment Date on which the purchase by the Servicer occurs (the “Redemption Date”).

(b) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement which has a material adverse effect on the Noteholders or the Equity Certificateholder, which continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the first to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of such failure requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Servicer by the

Indenture Trustee or to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by the Noteholders or the Equity Certificateholder or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of such Noteholders of Notes aggregating not less than [25]% of the Principal Amount of any Class adversely affected thereby, and (ii) the date on which the Servicer becomes aware thereof, and such failure continues to materially adversely affect the Noteholders or the Equity Certificateholders for such period; or

(c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall prove to have been incorrect when made, which has a material adverse effect on the Noteholders or the Equity Certificateholder and which continues to be incorrect in any material respect for a period of thirty (30) days after the first to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of such incorrectness requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Servicer and the Owner Trustee by the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by Noteholders or the Equity Certificateholders or by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Noteholders of Notes aggregating not less than [25]% of the Principal Amount of any Class adversely affected thereby, and (ii) the date on which the Servicer becomes aware thereof, and such incorrectness continues to materially adversely affect the Noteholders or the Equity Certificateholders for such period; or

(d) an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to the Servicer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to under clause (a) above for a period of five (5) Business Days or referred to under clause (b) or (c) for a period of sixty (60) days (in addition to any period provided in (a), (b) or (c)) shall not constitute a Servicer Default until the expiration of such additional five (5) Business Days or sixty (60) days, respectively, if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by an act of God or other similar occurrences. Upon the occurrence of any such event the Servicer shall not be relieved from using its best efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicer shall provide the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to so perform its obligations. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of any Servicer Default of which it is aware.

Section 8.02 Servicing Transfer. (a) If a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders or the Indenture Trustee (subject to the right of the Indenture Trustee to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.02(g) or 6.07 of the Indenture) may and shall at the direction of the Required Holders, by written notice (a “Termination Notice”) delivered to the parties hereto, terminate all (but not less than all) of the Servicer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Trust Assets.

(b) Upon delivery of the Termination Notice (or, if later, on a date designated therein), and on the date that a successor Servicer shall have been appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 (such appointment being herein called a “Servicing Transfer”), all rights, benefits, fees, indemnities, authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Contracts in the Contract Pool, the Contract Files or otherwise, shall pass to

and be vested in such successor (the “Successor Servicer”) pursuant to and under this Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Successor Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. The Servicer agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer, in the Collection Account, or for its own account in connection with its services hereafter or thereafter received with respect to the Contracts in the Contract Pool. The Servicer shall transfer to the Successor Servicer (i) all records held by the Servicer relating to such Contracts in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and (ii) any related Contract Files in the Servicer’s possession. In addition, the Servicer shall permit access to its premises and employees (including all computer records and programs) to the Successor Servicer or its designee, and shall pay the reasonable transition expenses of the Successor Servicer. Upon a Servicing Transfer, the Successor Servicer shall thereafter also be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee for performing the obligations of the Servicer.

Section 8.03 Appointment of Successor Servicer; Reconveyance; Successor Servicer to Act. Upon delivery of the Termination Notice (or, if later, on a date designated therein), the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Termination Notice or, if no such date is specified, until a date mutually agreed by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall as promptly as possible after the giving of or receipt of a Termination Notice, appoint a Successor Servicer, and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption and by delivery of an opinion of counsel (which shall not be at the expense of the Indenture Trustee) to the Successor Servicer relating to corporate matters and enforceability, in each case in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee. Any Successor Servicer shall be a financial institution having a net worth of at least $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of contracts similar to the Contracts in the Contract Pool.

In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and has not accepted its appointment within 60 days of the delivery of a Termination Notice, then the Indenture Trustee shall offer the Depositor, and the Depositor shall offer CFUSA, the right to accept retransfer of all the Trust Assets, and such party may accept retransfer of such Trust Assets in consideration of the Depositor’s delivery to the Collection Account on or prior to the next upcoming Payment Date of a sum equal to the Aggregate Principal Amount of all Notes then outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through such date of deposit; provided, that the Indenture Trustee, if so directed by, the Required Holders, need not accept and effect such reconveyance in the absence of evidence (which may include valuations of an investment bank or similar entity, which shall not be at the expense of the Indenture Trustee) reasonably acceptable to such Indenture Trustee or Required Holders that such retransfer would not constitute a fraudulent conveyance of the Depositor or CFUSA; provided, further, CFUSA may not accept such retransfer unless it shall have delivered to each Rating Agency, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be an employee of the Trust)

that such retransfer would not constitute a fraudulent conveyance of the Depositor or CFUSA or that such retransfer would not constitute a preferential payment by the Depositor or CFUSA.

In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and has not accepted its appointment at the time when the then Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee while assuming such duties and shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the Servicer (or Successor Servicer) including the indemnity rights under Section 8.07 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indenture Trustee is legally unable or prohibited from so acting or is unwilling to so act, it shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution having a net worth of at least $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of contracts similar to the Contracts in the Contract Pool as the Successor Servicer hereunder. On or after a Servicing Transfer, the Successor 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 in this Agreement, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and the terminated Servicer shall be relieved of such responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising after such Servicing Transfer; provided, however, that the Successor Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the departing Servicer occurring prior to such Servicing Transfer or for any breach by the departing Servicer of any of its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any related Transaction Document or other agreement. As compensation therefor, the Successor Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee from and after the Servicing Transfer. The Trust, the Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. To the extent the terminated Servicer has made Servicer Advances, it shall be entitled to reimbursement of the same (and any unpaid Servicing Fees accrued prior to the Servicing Transfer) notwithstanding its termination hereunder, to the same extent as if it had continued to service the Trust Assets hereunder. In addition, it is understood and agreed that if an Event of Default has occurred and a Servicer Transfer is being effected by action of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, any documented expenses reasonably incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with effecting such Servicer Transfer shall be deemed expenses reimbursable from Available Funds.

Section 8.04 Notifications to Noteholders and the Equity Certificateholders. (a) Promptly following the occurrence of any Servicer Default of which it is aware, the Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Trustees, the Depositor and each Rating Agency at the addresses described in Section 11.03 and to the Noteholders and Equity Certificateholder at their respective addresses appearing on the Note Register and the Certificate Register, respectively.

(b) Within ten (10) days following any termination or appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indenture Trustee shall give written notice thereof to each Rating Agency and the Depositor at the addresses described in Section 11.03, and to the Noteholders, at their respective addresses appearing on the Note Register, and to the Owner Trustee.

Section 8.05 Effect of Transfer. (a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, after a Servicing Transfer, the terminated Servicer shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Trust Assets, and the Successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 8.03 shall have all of such obligations, except that the terminated Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the Successor Servicer for its own account, promptly on receipt and in the same form in which received, any amounts or items (properly endorsed where required for the Successor Servicer to collect them) received as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the Contracts in the Contract Pool.

(b) A Servicing Transfer shall not affect the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement (including but not limited to the indemnities of the departing Servicer) other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing, custody or collection of the Contracts in the Contract Pool and related Transferred Assets.

Section 8.06 Database File. The Servicer will provide the Successor Servicer with a magnetic tape containing the database file for each Contract in the Contract Pool on and as of the Business Day before the actual commencement of servicing functions by the Successor Servicer following the occurrence of a Servicer Default.

Section 8.07 Successor Servicer Indemnification. The departing Servicer shall defend, indemnify and hold the Successor Servicer and any officers, directors, employees or agents of the Successor Servicer harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees, and expenses that the Successor Servicer may sustain in connection with the claims asserted at any time by third parties against the Successor Servicer which result from (i) any willful or grossly negligent act taken or omission by the departing Servicer or (ii) a breach of any representations of the departing Servicer in Section 3.02. The indemnification provided by this Section 8.07 shall survive (a) a Servicing Transfer and/or (b) the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.08 Responsibilities of the Successor Servicer. The Successor Servicer will not be responsible for delays attributable to the departing Servicer’s failure to deliver information, defects in the information supplied by the departing Servicer or other circumstances beyond the control of the Successor Servicer.

The Successor Servicer will make arrangements with the departing Servicer for the prompt and safe transfer of, and the departing Servicer shall provide to the Successor Servicer, all necessary servicing files and records, including (as deemed necessary by the Successor Servicer at such time): (i) microfiche loan documentation, (ii) servicing system tapes, (iii) Contract payment history, (iv) collections history and (v) the trial balances, as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding conversion to the Successor Servicer, reflecting all applicable Contract Pool information. The departing Servicer shall be obligated to pay the costs associated with the transfer of the servicing files and records to the Successor Servicer.

The Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder nor incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its duties under this Agreement if any such failure or delay results from the Successor

Servicer acting in accordance with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the Successor Servicer or the failure of any such Person to prepare or provide such information. The Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility, shall not be in default and shall incur no liability (i) for any act or failure to act by any third party, including the departing Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustees or for any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the Successor Servicer from any third party or (ii) which is due to or results from the invalidity or unenforceability of any Contract under applicable law or the breach or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect to any Contract.

Any Successor Servicer which assumes the role of Successor Servicer hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the provisions of) Section 5.05 concerning delegation of duties to subservicers.

None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Indenture Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 8.09 Servicer Not to Resign. The Servicer shall not resign from its obligations and duties under this Agreement except upon determination that the performance of its duties shall no longer be permissible under applicable law, compliance with which could not be realized without material adverse impact on the Servicer’s financial condition. No such resignation shall become effective until the Indenture Trustee or a successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 8.03 hereof.

ARTICLE IX

(a) Each of the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and each Noteholder and the Equity Certificateholder (by acceptance of the applicable Notes or the Equity Certificate) covenants and agrees that it will not institute against the Depositor, or the Trust, or solicit or join in or cooperate with or encourage any other Person in instituting against the Depositor or the Trust, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

(b) Consistent with the provisions in Section 2.07 of the Trust Agreement and Section 6.17 hereof, the Trust, as well as each Noteholder and the Equity Certificateholder by accepting a Note or the Equity Certificate, acknowledges and agrees that such Note or the Equity Certificate represents a debt instrument secured by, or a beneficial interest in, the Trust and Trust Assets only and does not represent an interest in any assets (other than the Trust Assets) of the Depositor (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in respect of obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Trust Assets and proceeds thereof). In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, to the extent the Depositor enters into other securitization transactions as contemplated in Section 6.07, the Trust as well as each Noteholder and the Equity Certificateholder by accepting a Note or Certificate acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets (or interests therein) (other than Trust Assets) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by the Depositor to another securitization trust (i.e., other than the Trust) or other Person or Persons in connection therewith (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a Lien) (“Other Assets”). To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentences of this subsection, the Trust, or any Noteholder and the Equity Certificateholder, either (i) asserts an interest in or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets,

whether asserted against or through the Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of Insolvency Laws or otherwise (including without limitation by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed asserted against or through the Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor, then the Trust and each Noteholder and the Equity Certificateholder by accepting a Note or the Equity Certificate further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of the Depositor which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of payment or application under applicable law, including Insolvency Laws, and whether asserted against the Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor), including, without limitation, the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Noteholder and the Equity Certificateholder further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 11.08 and that the terms and provisions of this Section 11.08 may be enforced by an action for specific performance.

(c) The provisions of this Section 11.08 shall be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.09 Jurisdiction. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto consents, for itself and in respect of its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Each such party irrevocably waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any action or proceeding in such jurisdiction in respect of this Agreement or any document related hereto.

Section 11.10 Servicer Indemnity. The Servicer will indemnify the Depositor, the Trust, the Noteholders, the Equity Certificateholder and the Trustees (including in their respective individual capacities), and any of their officers, directors, employees or agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees and expenses that any Indemnified Party may sustain in connection with claims asserted by third parties against such Indemnified Party which result from any act or omission on the part of the Servicer with respect to the Trust Assets or its duties and obligations under this Agreement, except where such claims arise out of any willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith on the part of such Indemnified Party. Indemnification under this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, and the termination of the Trust Agreement or this Agreement.

Section 11.11 Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement has been executed on behalf of the Trust by [ ], not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Trust and in no event shall [ ] York in its individual capacity or any beneficial owner of the Trust have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Trust hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Trust. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Trust hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

Section 11.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES HERETO EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER AGREES THAT ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, AMENDMENTS AND RESTATEMENTS, OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT.

Exhibit E

Schedule of Representations and Warranties

(a) List of Contracts. The information set forth in the Schedule of Contracts (as the same may be amended or deemed amended in respect of a conveyance of Substitute Contracts on a Substitution Transfer Date) is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (or Substitution Transfer Date, as applicable).

(b) Eligible Contract. As of its applicable Cut-Off Date, each Contract satisfied the criteria for the definition of Eligible Contract set forth in this Agreement, and each Secondary Contract securing a Vendor Loan constituting a Contract satisfied, as of its applicable Cut-Off Date, the definition of Eligible Secondary Contract set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Contracts Secured by Vehicles. None of the Contracts relating to Equipment constituting Vehicles are “true leases.” No Obligor on any Contract secured by a Vehicle is an unincorporated common trucking carrier.

(d) Contract Files. As of the Closing Date (or as of the Substitution Transfer Date, with respect to Substitute Contracts), (i) immediately prior to such date, CFUSA (or the Financing Originator as custodian for CFUSA) had possession of each original Contract and the related complete Contract File, and there were no other custodial agreements relating to the same in effect (other than offsite storage arrangements described in Section 4.01(b)); (ii) each of such documents which is required to be signed by the Obligor has been signed by the Obligor in the appropriate spaces; and (iii) to the Depositor’s knowledge the complete Contract File for each Contract is in the possession of the Servicer. If the Contract is “tangible chattel paper” as defined in the UCC, the End-User Contracts that constitutes or evidences the Contract does not have any marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any other Person besides CFUSA (prior to their conveyance to the Depositor under the Non-VFC Purchase Agreement), the VFC Trust (prior to their conveyance to the Depositor under the VFC Assignment) and the Depositor.

(e) No Material Obligation. No Financing Originator has a material performance obligation in respect of any Contract in favor of an Obligor or End-User (it being understood that covenants of quiet enjoyment, purchase options, obligations to accept return of the property at end of lease term, and like obligations of a lessor typical of a “triple net” lease, shall not be deemed “material performance obligations” for purposes of this representation).

(f) Instruments. Not more than [ ]% of the Initial Contract Pool Principal Balance are “Instruments” (within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC), which evidence or relate to any Contract conveyed to the Trust on the Closing Date.

(g) Intent to Transfer. CFUSA is selling the Contracts, and on each Substitution Transfer Date is conveying the Substitute Contracts, to the Depositor with the intention of removing the Contracts, or the Substitute Contracts as the case may be, from the estate of CFUSA pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

E-1

(h) Vendor Programs. Not more than [ ]% of the Initial Contract Pool Principal Balance is attributable to Contracts originated by any one single Vendor.

Exhibit F

No financing statements are filed against an Obligor located in a particular State describing Equipment which is the subject of a particular Contract of any Financing Originator, unless the fair market value of the Equipment (determined in accordance with its Customary Policies and Procedures) related to such particular Contract is at least $25,000.
