Certificates, the Seller will not file any amendment to the Registration
Statement or supplement to the Prospectus unless the Seller has furnished you

amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject to the
foregoing sentence, if the Registration Statement has become or becomes
effective pursuant to Rule 430A, or filing of the Prospectus is otherwise
required under Rule 424(b), the Seller will file the Prospectus, properly
completed, and any supplement thereto, with the Commission pursuant to and in

to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional

Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) and of the issuance by the Commission of
any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or
the institution or threat of any proceeding for that purpose, and the Seller
will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and
to obtain as soon as possible the lifting of any issued stop order.
(c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Certificates and
the Offered Notes is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs
as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would
include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is
necessary at any time to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the
Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules
thereunder, the Seller promptly will notify you and will prepare and file, or
cause to be prepared and filed, with the Commission, subject to the second
sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement that
will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance. Any such
filing shall not operate as a waiver or limitation of any right of any
Underwriter hereunder.
(d) As soon as practicable, but not later than sixteen months after the
Closing Date, the Seller will cause the Trust to make generally available to
Certificateholders an earnings

for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as you may
reasonably designate and will continue such qualifications in effect so long
as required for the distribution.

the Certificates, or until such time as the Underwriters shall cease to
maintain a secondary market in the Certificates, whichever occurs first, the
Seller will deliver to you the annual statements of compliance and the annual
independent certified public accountants' reports furnished to the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as
soon as such statements and reports are furnished to the Indenture Trustee or
the Owner Trustee.
(h) So long as any of the Certificates is outstanding, the Seller will
furnish to you (i) as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year all
documents required to be distributed to Certificateholders or filed with the

records relating to the Receivables to be marked to show the Trust's absolute
ownership of the Receivables, and from and after any Closing Date, the Seller

Receivables, other than as permitted by the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(j) To the extent, if any, that the rating provided with respect to the
Certificates by the rating agency or agencies that initially rate the
Certificates is conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of
any other actions by the Seller, the Seller shall furnish such documents and
take any such other actions.
(k) For the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on
the Closing Date, unless waived by the Underwriters, neither the Seller nor
any trust originated, directly or indirectly, by the Seller will offer to sell
or sell notes (other than the Notes) collateralized by, or certificates (other
than the Certificates) evidencing an ownership interest in, receivables

(iii) Each of CFC and the Company is duly qualified to do business

Seller and, when the Certificates have been duly executed,

Servicing Agreement, and the Administration Agreement have been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by CFC and are legal,

Company, nor the consummation of any transactions contemplated in
the Note Underwriting Agreement, this Agreement, the Purchase
Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Administration
9
Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement (such agreements,
excluding the Note Underwriting Agreement and this Agreement,
being, collectively, the "Basic Documents"), nor the fulfillment
of the terms thereof by CFC, the Company or the Trust, as the case
may be, will conflict with, or result in a breach, violation or
acceleration of, or constitute a default under, any term or
provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Seller
or the Company, or of any indenture or other agreement or
instrument to which the Seller or the Company is a party or by
which either of them is bound, or result in a violation of or
contravene the terms of any statute, order or regulation
applicable to the Seller or the Company of any court, regulatory
body, administrative agency or governmental body having
jurisdiction over either of them.
(x) There are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending
or, to the best of such counsel's knowledge after due inquiry,
threatened before any court, administrative agency or other
tribunal (1) asserting the invalidity of the Trust or any of the

the transactions contemplated by any of the Basic Documents or the
execution and delivery thereof, (3) that might materially and
adversely affect the performance by CFC of its obligations under,
or the validity or enforceability of, the Note Underwriting
Agreement, this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Trust
Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or the Administration
Agreement, or, (4) that might materially and adversely affect the
performance by the Company of its obligations under, or the
validity or enforceability of, the Purchase Agreement or the Trust
Agreement.
(xi) To the best knowledge of such counsel and except as set forth
in the Prospectus (and any supplement thereto), no default exists
and no event has occurred which, with notice, lapse of time or
both, would constitute a default in the due performance and
observance of any term, covenant or condition of any agreement to
which the Seller or the Company is a party or by which either of
them is bound, which default is or would have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition, earnings, prospects, business
or properties of the Seller and its subsidiaries, taken as a
whole.
(xii) Nothing has come to such counsel's attention that would lead
such counsel to believe that the representations and warranties of
(x) the Company contained in the Purchase Agreement and the Trust
Agreement are other than as stated therein or (y) CFC contained in
this Agreement, the Note Underwriting Agreement, the Trust
Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement are other than as
stated therein.
(xiii) The Seller is the sole owner of all right, title and
interest in, and has good and marketable title to, the Standard
Receivables and Fixed Value Receivables and the other property to
be transferred by it to the Trust. The assignment of the Standard
Receivables and Fixed Value Receivables, all documents and
instruments relating thereto and all proceeds thereof to the
Trust, pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, vests in the
Trust all interests that are purported to
10
be conveyed thereby, free and clear of any liens, security
interests or encumbrances except as specifically permitted
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or any other Basic
Document.
(xiv) Immediately prior to the transfer of the Standard
Receivables and Fixed Value Receivables to the Trust, the Seller's
interest in the Standard Receivables and Fixed Value Receivables,
the security interests in the Financed Vehicles securing the
Standard Receivables and Fixed Value Receivables and the proceeds
of each of the foregoing was perfected and constituted a perfected
first priority interest therein.
(xv) The Indenture constitutes a grant by the Trust to the
Indenture Trustee of a valid security interest in the Standard
Receivables and Fixed Value Receivables, the security interests in
the Financed Vehicles securing the Standard Receivables and Fixed
Value Receivables and the proceeds of each of the foregoing, which
security interest will be perfected upon the filing of the UCC-1
financing statements with the Secretary of State of the State of
Michigan and the State of Delaware and will constitute a first
priority perfected security interest therein. No filing or other
action, other than the filing of the UCC-1 financing statements
with the Secretary of State of the State of Michigan and the State
of Delaware referred to above, is necessary to perfect and
maintain the interest or the security interest of the Indenture
Trustee in the Standard Receivables and Fixed Value Receivables,
the security interests in the Financed Vehicles securing the
Receivables and the proceeds of each of the foregoing against
third parties.
(xvi) The Standard Receivables and Fixed Value Receivables are
chattel paper as defined in the UCC.
(xvii) The Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the
Indenture, the Purchase Agreement and the Administration Agreement
conform in all material respects with the descriptions thereof
contained in the Prospectus (and any supplement thereto).
(xviii) The statements in the Prospectus under the heading
"Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables", to the extent they

Agreement and the Trust Agreement, constitute a fair summary of
such documents.

(xx) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing
with, any court or governmental agency or body is required for the
consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Basic
Documents, except such filings with respect to the transfer of the
Standard Receivables and Fixed Value Receivables to the Trust
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the grant of a
security interest in the Collateral to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to the Indenture and such other approvals as have been

operating procedures relating to the Seller's acquisition of a
perfected first priority security interest in the vehicles
financed by the Servicer pursuant to retail automobile and light
duty truck installment sale contracts in the ordinary course of
the Seller's business. Assuming that the Seller's standard
procedures are followed with respect to the perfection of security
interests in the Financed Vehicles (and such counsel has no reason
to believe that the Seller has not followed or will not continue
to follow its standard procedures in connection with the
perfection of security interests in the Financed Vehicles), the
Seller has acquired or will acquire a perfected first priority
security interest in the Financed Vehicles.

to be made under the Act and the Exchange Act prior to the sale of
the Certificates have been duly taken or made.

the Trust Indenture Act and the Trust is not required to be
registered under the Investment Company Act.

Indenture Act.

sale of the Certificates as contemplated in the Prospectus (and

contemplated in the Prospectus (and any supplement thereto) and
the Note Underwriting Agreement become, an "investment company" as
defined in the Investment Company Act or a company "controlled by"
an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act.
(xxvi) To the best of such counsel's knowledge and information,
there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or
threatened that are required to be disclosed in the Registration
Statement, other than those disclosed therein.
(xxvii) To the best of such counsel's knowledge and information,
there are no contracts, indentures, mortgages, loan agreements,
notes, leases or other instruments required to be described or
referred to in the Registration Statement or to be filed as
exhibits thereto other than those described or referred to therein
or filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits thereto, the
descriptions thereof or references thereto are correct, and no
default exists in the due performance or
12
observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or
condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan
agreement, note, lease or other instrument so described, referred
to, filed or incorporated by reference.
(xxviii) The Registration Statement has become effective under the
Act, any required filing of the Basic Prospectus, any preliminary
Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the
Prospectus, and any supplements thereto, pursuant to Rule 424(b)
has been made in the manner and within the time period required by
Rule 424(b), and, to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
has been issued, and no proceedings for that purpose have been
instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Act, and the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and each amendment or
supplement thereto, as of their respective effective or issue
dates, complied as to form in all material respects with the
requirements of the Act, the Exchange Act, the Trust Indenture Act
and the Rules and Regulations.
(xxix) Such counsel has examined the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus and nothing has come to such counsel's attention
that would lead such counsel to believe that the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
as of the respective dates thereof (other than the financial
statements and other financial and statistical information
contained therein, as to which such counsel need not express any
view) contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein not misleading.
(xxx) The Trust has been duly formed and is validly existing as a
statutory business trust and is in good standing under the laws of
the State of Delaware, with full power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Indenture, the Administration Agreement, and the
Notes and the Certificates.
(xxxi) The Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the
Administration Agreement have been duly authorized and, when duly

reasonably request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Seller will indemnify and
hold each Underwriter harmless against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject,
under the Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the preliminary Basic
Prospectus, the Collateral Materials, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement
(if any), the Basic Prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein (in the case of the Collateral Materials, when read
together with the Prospectus) a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse
each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided,
however, that the Seller will not be liable in any such case to the extent
that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon
an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged
omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity
16
with written information furnished to the Seller by any Underwriter through
you specifically for use therein.
For all purposes contemplated hereby, the Seller and the Underwriters
each acknowledge that the Collateral Materials were prepared by the Seller.
(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Seller against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to
which the Seller may become subject, under the Act or the Exchange Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, the preliminary Basic Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus
Supplement (if any), the Basic Prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment
or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each
case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information relating to such Underwriter
furnished to the Seller by such Underwriter through you specifically for use
therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
the Seller in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of
notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under
subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve
it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than
under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against
any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the
consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and
after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by the indemnified
party of the counsel appointed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying
party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or
(b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages
or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
Seller on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of
the Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not
permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the
17
relative fault of the Seller on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other
in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Seller on the one hand
and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion
as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses)
received by the Seller bear to the total underwriting discounts and
commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Seller or by the
Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or
omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this
subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending any action or claim that is the subject of this subsection (d).
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter (except
as may be provided in the agreement among Underwriters relating to the
offering of the Certificates) shall be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the
Certificates purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) The obligations of the Seller under this Section shall be in
addition to any liability that the Seller may otherwise have and shall extend,
upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any
of the Underwriters within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the
Underwriters under this Section shall be in addition to any liability that the
respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same
terms and conditions, to each director of the Seller, to each officer of the
Seller who has signed the Registration Statement and to each person, if any,
who controls the Seller within the meaning of the Act.
9. Defaults of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default
in their obligations to purchase the Certificates hereunder on the Closing
Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representative and the Seller for
the purchase of such Certificates by other persons are not made within 36
hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on
the part of any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Seller, except as provided in
Section 11. As used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" includes any
person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will
relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
10. No Bankruptcy Petition. Each Underwriter covenants and agrees that,
prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of
all securities issued by the Seller or by a trust for which the Seller was the
depositor which securities were rated by any nationally recognized statistical
rating organization, it will not institute against, or join any other Person
in instituting against, the Seller any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under
any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.
18
11. Survival of Representations and Obligations. The respective
indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of
the Seller or the Company or any of their officers, and each of the
Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement or contained in
certificates of officers of the Seller submitted pursuant hereto shall remain
operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or
statement as to the results thereof made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or
the Seller or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors
or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the
Certificates. If for any reason the purchase of the Certificates by the
Underwriters is not consummated, the Seller shall remain responsible for the
expenses to be paid or reimbursed by the Seller pursuant to Section 6 and the
respective obligations of the Seller and the Underwriters pursuant to Section
8 shall remain in effect. If for any reason the purchase of the Certificates
by the Underwriters is not consummated (other than because of a failure to
satisfy the conditions set forth in items (ii), (iv) and (v) of Section 7(d)),
the Seller will reimburse any Underwriter, upon demand, for all out-of-pocket
expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by
it in connection with the offering of the Certificates. Nothing contained in
this Section 11 shall limit the recourse of the Seller against the
Underwriters.
12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if
sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and
confirmed to the Representative at [Address of Representative Underwriter]; if
sent to the Seller, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed, and confirmed to
it at Chrysler Financial Company L.L.C., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Assistant Secretary; provided, however, that any
notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 8 will be mailed, delivered or
telegraphed and confirmed to such Underwriter. Any such notice will take
effect at the time of receipt.
13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the
officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 8, and
no other person will have any right or obligations hereunder.
14. Representation. You will act for the several Underwriters in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any
action under this Agreement taken by you will be binding upon all the
Underwriters.
15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.
16. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
19
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our
agreement, kindly sign and return to us the enclosed duplicate hereof,
