WHEREAS, Issuer desires to purchase from Seller a portfolio of receivables arising in connection with Loans, secured by new and used automobiles and light-duty trucks, purchased from dealers by an Originator, sold by the Originators to WFFA under the Transfer Agreement, sold by WFFA to the Transferor under the Sale Agreement and sold by the Transferor to the Seller under the Purchase Agreement;

WHEREAS, Seller is willing to sell such receivables to Issuer; and

WHEREAS, Master Servicer is willing to service such receivables.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

SECTION 1.2. OTHER INTERPRETIVE PROVISIONS. For purposes of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (a) accounting terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement, and accounting terms partly defined in this Agreement to the extent not defined, shall have the respective meanings given to them under GAAP; (b) terms defined in Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in the relevant jurisdiction and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used as defined in that Article; (c) the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (d) references to any Article, Section, Schedule, Appendix or Exhibit are references to Articles, Sections, Schedules, Appendices and Exhibits in or to this Agreement and references to any paragraph, subsection, clause or other subdivision within any Section or definition refer to such paragraph, subsection, clause or other subdivision of such Section or definition; (e) the term “including” means “including without limitation”; (f) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, references to any law or regulation refer to that law or regulation as amended from time to time and include any successor law or regulation; (g) references to any Person include that Person’s successors and assigns; and (h) headings are for purposes of reference only and shall not otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof.

ARTICLE II.

CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES

SECTION 2.1. CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES. In consideration of Issuer’s delivery to, or upon the order of, Seller of Notes and Certificates, in aggregate principal amounts equal to the initial principal amounts of the Notes and the Initial Certificate Balance, respectively, Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to Issuer, without recourse, subject to the obligations herein (collectively, the “Trust Property”):

(a)

all right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Receivables, and all monies received thereon after the Cutoff Date;

(b)

all right, title and interest of Seller in the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and any other interest of Seller in the Financed Vehicles and any other property that shall secure the Receivables;

(c)

the interest of Seller in any proceeds with respect to the Receivables from claims on any Insurance Policies covering Financed Vehicles or the Obligors or from claims under any lender’s single interest insurance policy naming any Originator as an insured;

(d)

the interest of Seller in any proceeds from (i) any Receivable repurchased by a Dealer, pursuant to a Dealer Agreement, as a result of a breach of representation or warranty in the related Dealer Agreement, (ii) a default by an Obligor resulting in the repossession of the Financed Vehicle under the applicable Loan or (iii) any Dealer Recourse or other rights relating to the Receivables under Dealer Agreements;

(e)

all right, title and interest of Seller in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and the Trust Accounts, and in all investments and proceeds thereof (but excluding all investment income thereon);

(f)

all right, title and interest of Seller under the Purchase Agreement (subject to the right of the Transferor to repurchase Receivables in the aggregate that constitute up to 2.00% of the Original Pool Balance as provided in the Purchase Agreement);

(g)

all right, title and interest of Seller in any instrument or document relating to the Receivables; and

(h)

the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

The sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance made hereunder shall not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Issuer of any obligation of any Originators to the Obligors, the Dealers or any other Person in connection with the Receivables and the other assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto.

It is the express intention of Seller and Issuer for (a) the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Receivables and the other Trust Property described above, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, security interests or rights of other Persons, from Seller to Issuer and (b) the Receivables and the other Trust Property described above not be a part of Seller’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of Seller. If, notwithstanding the intention of Seller and Issuer, such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge in connection with a financing or is otherwise deemed not to be a sale, Seller hereby grants, and the parties intend that Seller shall have granted to the Issuer, a first priority perfected security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the items of the Trust Property and all proceeds of the foregoing, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and the Seller shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the UCC as in force in the relevant jurisdictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller intends on treating the sale of the Trust Property to the Issuer as a financing for accounting purposes.

ARTICLE III.

THE RECEIVABLES

SECTION 3.1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE RECEIVABLES. The Transferor has made the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement, and has consented to the assignment by Seller to Issuer of Seller’s rights with respect thereto. Pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement, Seller has transferred to Issuer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchase Agreement, including the representations and warranties of the Transferor therein and all of Transferor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Sale Agreement and the representations and warranties of WFFA therein, and all of WFFA’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Transfer Agreement, including the representations and warranties of the Originators therein, upon which Issuer relies in accepting the Receivables, together with all rights of Seller with respect to any breach thereof, including the right to require the Transferor to purchase Receivables in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and the right to require WFFA to purchase Receivables in accordance with the Sale Agreement.

SECTION 3.2. REPURCHASE UPON BREACH.

(a)

Seller, Master Servicer or Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement promptly, in writing, upon actual knowledge (or with respect to the Indenture Trustee, upon actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer) of any breach or failure to be true of the representations or warranties made by the Transferor in Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement which materially and adversely affects the interests of Issuer and the Noteholders in any Receivable; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Transferor. In consideration of the repurchase of a Receivable hereunder by the Transferor under Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement, Transferor shall remit the Purchase Amount of such Receivable, no later than the close of business on the next Deposit Date, in the manner specified in Section 5.4.

(b)

With respect to all Receivables repurchased pursuant to this Section 3.2, Issuer shall assign to the Transferor or the Seller, as applicable, without recourse, all of Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and all other Trust Property, security and documents, relating solely to such Receivable.

SECTION 3.3. CUSTODIAN OF RECEIVABLE FILES.

(a)

CUSTODY. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, Issuer, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, revocably appoints the Custodian, as agent, and the Custodian accepts such appointment, to act as agent on behalf of the Indenture Trustee (or if no Notes are outstanding, Issuer) to maintain custody of the following documents or instruments, which are hereby constructively delivered to Issuer with respect to each Receivable (with respect to each Receivable, a “Receivable File”):

(i)

copies of (A) the original certificate of title, lien card or such other similar document, as used in the applicable jurisdiction and/or (B) if the security interest of the applicable Originator is evidenced with respect to a Vehicle under the Uniform Commercial Code of a state, the applicable financing statements evidencing the applicable Originator’s security interest;

(ii)

the fully executed original counterpart of the installment sale contract, or note and the security agreement, as applicable relating to each Receivable and, in the case of promissory notes, endorsements of such notes in blank;

(iii)

a copy of the credit application of the Obligor; and

(iv)

such other documents that the Seller causes to be delivered to the Custodian.

(b)

SAFEKEEPING. The Custodian, shall hold the applicable Receivable Files as agent on behalf of Issuer and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable as shall enable Master Servicer and Issuer to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to them. In performing its duties as Custodian hereunder, Custodian shall act with reasonable care, exercising the degree of skill, attention and care that Custodian exercises with respect to receivable files relating to other similar motor vehicle loans owned and/or serviced by Custodian and that is consistent with industry standards. In accordance with its customary practice with respect to its retail installment sale contracts, Custodian shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic audits of the Receivable Files held by it under this Agreement, and of the related accounts, records, and computer systems, and shall maintain the Receivable Files in such a manner as shall enable Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee to verify, if Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee so elects, the accuracy of the record keeping of Custodian. Custodian shall promptly report to Owner Trustee any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided, and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Custodian hereby acknowledges receipt of the Receivable File for each Receivable listed on the Schedule of Receivables. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require Issuer, Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee to verify the accuracy of the record keeping of the Custodian.

(c)

MAINTENANCE OF AND ACCESS TO RECORDS. Custodian shall maintain each Receivable File at the locations specified in Schedule B to this Agreement, or at such other offices of Custodian or its Affiliates within the United States (or, in the case of any successor Custodian, within the State in which its principal place of business is located) as shall be specified to Issuer by 30 days’ prior written notice. Custodian shall make available to Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and their respective agents (or, when requested in writing by Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee, their respective attorneys or auditors) the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by Custodian at such times as Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee shall instruct for purposes of inspecting, auditing or making copies of abstracts of the same, but only upon two (2) Business Days prior notice and during the normal business hours at the respective offices of Custodian.

(d)

RELEASE OF DOCUMENTS. Upon written instructions from Indenture Trustee (or, if no Notes are then Outstanding, Owner Trustee), Custodian shall release any document in the Receivable Files to Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee or its respective agent or designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee may designate, as soon thereafter as is practicable. Any document so released shall be handled by Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee with due care and returned to Custodian for safekeeping as soon as Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee or its respective agent or designee, as the case may be, shall have no further need therefor.

(e)

TITLE TO RECEIVABLES. Custodian agrees that, in respect of any Receivable File held by Custodian hereunder, Custodian shall not at any time have or in any way attempt to assert any interest in such Receivable File or the related Receivable, other than solely for the purpose of collecting or enforcing the Receivable for the benefit of Issuer and that the entire equitable interest in such Receivable and the related Receivable File shall at all times be vested in Issuer.

(f)

INSTRUCTIONS; AUTHORITY TO ACT. Custodian shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by an Authorized Officer of Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as applicable. A certified copy of excerpts of certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as applicable, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of any such Authorized Officer to act and shall be considered in full force and effect until receipt by Custodian of written notice to the contrary given by Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as applicable.

(g)

CUSTODIAN’S INDEMNIFICATION. Subject to Section 10.5, Custodian shall indemnify and hold harmless Issuer, Owner Trustee (individually and in its capacity as such) and Indenture Trustee (individually and in its capacity as such), and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents and the Holders from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses, if any) of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against Issuer, Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee or the Holders as the result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith, breach of contract or negligence of the Custodian in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. Indemnification under this Subsection (g) shall survive termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee, as the case may be. If Custodian shall have made any indemnity payments to Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section and Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee thereafter shall collect any of such amounts from Persons other than Custodian, Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall, as soon as practicable following such receipt thereof, repay such amounts to Custodian, without interest.

(h)

EFFECTIVE PERIOD AND TERMINATION. Master Servicer’s appointment as Custodian shall become effective as of the date of delivery of the Receivable Files (which shall be a date on or before the Closing Date) and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Subsection (h). If Master Servicer shall resign as Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.5 or if all of the rights and obligations of Master Servicer shall have been terminated under Section 8.1, the appointment of Master Servicer as Custodian hereunder may be terminated by the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee or by the Holders of Notes evidencing greater than 25% of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes (or, if no Notes are then Outstanding, the Holders of Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance), in each case in the same manner as Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee or such Holders may terminate the rights and obligations of Master Servicer under Section 8.1. The Indenture Trustee, or, if no Notes are then Outstanding, the Owner Trustee at the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing greater than 50% of the Certificate Balance, may terminate Master Servicer’s appointment as Custodian hereunder at any time with cause. As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment Master Servicer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Receivable Files to Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as applicable, or its respective agent or designee at such place or places as Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as applicable, may reasonably designate. Notwithstanding any termination of Master Servicer as Custodian hereunder (other than in connection with a termination resulting from the termination of Master Servicer, as such, pursuant to Section 8.1), from and after the date of such termination, and for so long as Master Servicer is acting as such pursuant to this Agreement, Indenture Trustee shall provide, or cause the successor Custodian to provide, access to the Receivable Files to Master Servicer, at such times as Master Servicer shall reasonably request, for the purpose of carrying out its duties and responsibilities with respect to the servicing of the Receivables hereunder.

(i)

DELEGATION. Custodian may, at any time without notice or consent, delegate any or all of its duties under the Basic Documents to any Affiliate; provided that no such delegation shall relieve Custodian of its responsibility with respect to such duties and Custodian shall remain obligated and liable to Issuer and the Holders for its duties hereunder as if Custodian alone were performing such duties.

SECTION 3.4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO REVISED ARTICLE 9 . Seller hereby makes the following representations and warranties:

(a)

This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.

(b)

The applicable Originator has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest against each related Obligor in the Vehicles securing the Receivables.

(c)

The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(d)

The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

(e)

All original executed copies of each agreement that constitutes or evidences the Receivables have been delivered to the Custodian.

(f)

Other than the security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Issuer hereunder or that has been terminated. The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller.

(g)

None of the agreements that constitute or evidence the Receivables has any marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Issuer.

Such representations and warranties shall speak as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to Issuer and the pledge thereof to Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. These representations and warranties are not waivable.

ARTICLE IV.

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

SECTION 4.1. DUTIES OF MASTER SERVICER.

(a)

(i) Master Servicer is hereby authorized to act as agent for Issuer and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables), and perform the other actions required by Master Servicer under this Agreement, with reasonable care. Without limiting the standard set forth in the preceding sentence, Master Servicer shall use a degree of skill, attention and care that is not less than Master Servicer exercises with respect to comparable Loans that it services for itself or others and that is consistent with industry standards. Master Servicer’s duties shall include the collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries by Obligors on the Receivables, or by federal, state or local governmental authorities, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons or monthly invoices to Obligors, reporting required tax information to Obligors, accounting for Collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions, providing collection and repossession services in the event of Obligor default and performing the other duties specified herein.

(ii)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by Issuer to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, Indenture Trustee, Issuer and the Holders, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables or to the Financed Vehicles, all in accordance with this Agreement; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, Master Servicer shall not, except pursuant to an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, release an Obligor from payment of any unpaid amount under any Receivable or waive the right to collect the unpaid balance of any Receivable from the Obligor, except in connection with a de minimis deficiency which Master Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with its customary procedures. If Master Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, Issuer shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such Receivable to Master Servicer, which assignment shall be solely for purposes of collection. The Issuer shall furnish Master Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents or instruments necessary or appropriate to enable Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

(b)

Master Servicer may, at any time without notice (except that Master Servicer shall give written notice to each Rating Agency, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee of any delegation outside the ordinary course of business or of a substantial portion of its servicing business) or consent, delegate specific duties to sub-contractors who are in the business of performing such duties; provided that no such delegation or consent shall relieve Master Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties and Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Holders for servicing and administering the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement as if Master Servicer alone were performing such duties. On the Closing Date, the parties hereto intend that the Master Servicer shall enter into the Subservicing Agreement with WFFA pursuant to which WFFA shall perform the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer and Custodian hereunder.

(c)

Master Servicer shall pay the Administrator the fee pursuant to the Administration Agreement.

SECTION 4.2. COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLE PAYMENTS.

(a)

Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and otherwise act with respect to the Receivables, the Physical Damage Insurance Policies, the Dealer Agreements and related property in accordance with the standard of care required by Section 4.1. Master Servicer shall be entitled to grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a Receivable, or amend or modify any Receivable in accordance with its customary procedures if Master Servicer believes in good faith that such amendment or modification is in Issuer’s best interests; provided that Master Servicer may not, unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise required by applicable law, (i) extend a Receivable beyond the Collection Period preceding the latest final scheduled Payment Date of any Notes issued under the Indenture or (ii) reduce the Principal Balance or Contract Rate of any Receivable. If Master Servicer fails to comply with the provisions of the preceding sentence, Master Servicer shall be required to purchase the Receivable or Receivables affected thereby, for the Purchase Amount, in the manner specified in Section 4.7 as of the last day of the Collection Period in which such failure occurs. The sole remedy (except as provided in Section 7.2) of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Holders against the Master Servicer with respect to such failure shall be to require the Master Servicer to repurchase the affected Receivable as described in the preceding sentence. The Master Servicer may, in its discretion (in accordance with its customary standards, policies and procedures), waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge, extension fee or any other fee that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable.

(b)

If in the course of collecting payments under the Receivables, Master Servicer determines to set off any obligation of Master Servicer to an Obligor against an amount payable by the Obligor with respect to such Receivable, Master Servicer shall deposit the amount so set off in the Collection Account, no later than the close of business on the Deposit Date for the Collection Period in which the set-off occurs. All references herein to payments or Liquidation Proceeds collected by Master Servicer shall include amounts set-off by Master Servicer.

SECTION 4.3. REALIZATION UPON RECEIVABLES. On behalf of Issuer, Master Servicer shall charge off a Receivable in accordance with its customary standards (and in no event later than the end of the Collection Period during which greater than 10% of a payment due is 181 or more days contractually past due on a Receivable) and shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary standards, to repossess and liquidate the Financed Vehicle securing any Defaulted Receivable as soon as feasible after such Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable, in accordance with the standard of care required by Section 4.1. In taking such action, Master Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of Loans, and as are otherwise consistent with the standard of care required under Section 4.1, which shall include exercising any rights under the Dealer Agreements and selling the Financed Vehicle at public or private sale. Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in the course of repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds or pursuing any deficiency claim against the related Obligor, but only out of the cash proceeds of such Financed Vehicle or any deficiency obtained from the Obligor. The foregoing shall be subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Financed Vehicle shall have suffered extensive damage, Master Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession is likely to increase the Liquidation Proceeds of the related Receivable by an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such expenses.

If Master Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Dealer Agreement, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment from Issuer to Master Servicer of the rights under such Dealer Agreement. Such assignment shall be solely for purposes of collection. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it is held that Master Servicer may not enforce a Dealer Agreement on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a Person entitled to enforce the Dealer Agreement, Owner Trustee, on behalf of Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, subject to the Indenture, at Master Servicer’s expense, or Seller, at Master Servicer’s expense, shall take such steps as Master Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Dealer Agreement, including bringing suit in Issuer’s name or the name of Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 4.4. PHYSICAL DAMAGE INSURANCE.

(a)

The Receivables require that each Financed Vehicle be insured under a Physical Damage Insurance Policy. If Master Servicer receives notice that an Obligor has failed to obtain or maintain a Physical Damage Insurance Policy covering the related Financed Vehicle, to the extent permitted by law Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary servicing procedures to enforce the rights of the holder of the Receivable under the Receivable to require the Obligor to obtain such physical damage insurance, provided that Master Servicer shall not be required to take such actions if there is in place a lender’s single interest policy with respect to the related Financed Vehicle that complies with Master Servicer’s customary requirements.

(b)

Master Servicer may sue to enforce or collect upon the Physical Damage Insurance Policies, in its own name, if possible, or as agent for Issuer. If Master Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Physical Damage Insurance Policy, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the rights of Issuer under such Physical Damage Insurance Policy to Master Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that Master Servicer may not enforce a Physical Damage Insurance Policy on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Physical Damage Insurance Policy, Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, subject to the Indenture, at Master Servicer’s expense and written direction, or Seller, at Master Servicer’s expense, shall take such steps as Master Servicer deems necessary to enforce such Physical Damage Insurance Policy, including bringing suit in Issuer’s name or the name of Indenture Trustee. Master Servicer shall make all claims and enforce its rights under any lender’s single interest insurance policy (to the extent such claims or rights relate to Receivables) for the benefit of the Issuer and shall treat as Collections all related proceeds of such policies.

SECTION 4.5. MAINTENANCE OF SECURITY INTERESTS IN FINANCED VEHICLES. Master Servicer, in accordance with the standard of care required under Section 4.1, shall take such reasonable steps as are necessary and as are consistent with its customary business practices to maintain perfection and priority of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle for the benefit of Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. Issuer hereby authorizes Master Servicer, and Master Servicer hereby agrees, to take such reasonable steps as are necessary and as are consistent with its customary business practices to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of Issuer in the event Master Servicer receives notice of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle out of one state to another.

SECTION 4.6. COVENANTS OF MASTER SERVICER. Master Servicer makes the following covenants on which Issuer relies in acquiring the Receivables:

(a)

SECURITY INTEREST TO REMAIN IN FORCE. Master Servicer shall not release any Financed Vehicle from the security interest granted by the related Receivable in whole or in part, except upon payment in full of the Receivable, release of such security interest to the insurance company in connection with a total loss claim under a Physical Damage Insurance Policy or as otherwise contemplated herein.

(b)

NO IMPAIRMENT. Master Servicer shall not impair in any material respect the rights of the Issuer or the Holders in the Receivables or the Physical Damage Insurance Policies or, subject to clause (c), otherwise amend or alter the terms thereof if, as a result of such amendment or alteration, the interests of Issuer and the Holders hereunder would be materially adversely affected.

(c)

AMENDMENTS. Master Servicer shall not amend or otherwise modify any Receivable (including the grant of any extension thereunder), except in accordance with Section 4.2.

SECTION 4.7. PURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES BY MASTER SERVICER UPON BREACH. Seller, Master Servicer or Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties promptly, in writing, upon the actual knowledge (in the case of the Indenture Trustee, upon actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer) of any breach by Master Servicer of its covenants under Section 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of Master Servicer. Unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or the 30th day, if Master Servicer so elects) after the date on which Master Servicer becomes aware of, or receives written notice of, such breach, and such breach materially and adversely affects the interests of Issuer and the Holders in any Receivable, Master Servicer shall purchase such Receivable from Issuer as of the last day of the Collection Period at a purchase price equal to the Purchase Amount for such Receivable as of the last day of such Collection Period; provided that in the case of a breach of the covenant contained in Section 4.6(c), Master Servicer shall be obligated to purchase the affected Receivable or Receivables on the Business Day preceding the Deposit Date immediately succeeding the Collection Period during which Master Servicer becomes aware of, or receives written notice of, such breach. In consideration of the purchase of a Receivable hereunder, Master Servicer shall remit the Purchase Amount of such Receivable in the manner specified in Section 5.4. The sole remedy (except as provided in Section 7.2) of Issuer, Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee or the Holders against Master Servicer with respect to a breach pursuant to Section 4.5 or 4.6 shall be to require Master Servicer to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section.

With respect to all Receivables purchased pursuant to this Section 4.7, Issuer shall assign to Master Servicer or such other Affiliate as it may designate, without recourse, representation or warranty, all of Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and all security and documents relating thereto and Indenture Trustee shall deliver an appropriate release of security interest or other claim with respect to such Receivables and all security and documents relating thereto.

SECTION 4.8. SERVICING FEE. The servicing fee for each Payment Date shall equal the product of (i) one-twelfth, (ii) the Servicing Fee Rate and (iii) the Pool Balance (the “Servicing Fee”). Master Servicer shall also be entitled to retain a supplemental servicing fee equal to all fees, including, but not limited to all late fees, NSF fees and extension fees collected during such Collection Period on the Receivables and payment holiday extension fees collected during such Collection Period (collectively, the “Supplemental Servicing Fee”). It is understood and agreed that Available Collections shall not include any amounts retained by Master Servicer which constitute Supplemental Servicing Fees. The Servicing Fee in respect of a Collection Period (together with any portion of the Servicing Fee that remains unpaid from prior Payment Dates), if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied, may be paid at the beginning of such Collection Period out of Collections for such Collection Period.

SECTION 4.9. MASTER SERVICER’S REPORT.

(a)

On or before each Determination Date, Master Servicer shall deliver to Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee, each Paying Agent and Seller, with a copy to the Rating Agencies, a Master Servicer’s Report for the immediately preceding Collection Period, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, containing all information necessary to make the transfers and distributions pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 (including amounts required to be transferred from the Reserve Account to the Collection Account) for the Collection Period preceding the date of such Master Servicer’s Report, together with all information necessary for the Owner Trustee to send statements to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.6 and Indenture Trustee to send copies of statements received by the Indenture Trustee to Noteholders pursuant to the Indenture and Section 5.6 of this Agreement. Receivables to be purchased by Master Servicer or to be repurchased by the Seller (or an entity designated by the Seller) shall be identified by Master Servicer by account number with respect to such Receivable (as specified in the Schedule of Receivables).

(b)

Master Servicer shall provide Indenture Trustee with a database file for the Receivables at or prior to the Closing Date (but with information as of the close of business on the Cutoff Date).

SECTION 4.10. ANNUAL STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE; NOTICE OF DEFAULT.

(a)

Master Servicer shall deliver to Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency, on or before March 20 of each year beginning on March 20, 2006, an Officer’s Certificate, dated as of December 31 of the preceding year, stating that (i) a review of the activities of Master Servicer during the preceding 12-month period (or, in the case of the first such report, during the period from the Closing Date to December 31, 2005) and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, Master Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations in all material respects under this Agreement throughout such year or, if there exists any uncured default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. A copy of such certificate and the report referred to in Section 4.11 may be obtained by any Noteholder by a request in writing to Indenture Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.

(b)

Master Servicer shall deliver to Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officer’s Certificate of any event which constitutes, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Master Servicer Termination Event under Section 8.1.

SECTION 4.11. ANNUAL INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT. (a) The Master Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants (who may also render other services to the Master Servicer or Seller) to deliver to the Seller, Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency on or before March 20 of each year beginning on March 20, 2006, a report to the effect that, as to objectively determinable matters, such firm has examined the Master Servicer’s assertion that it has fulfilled its obligations in all material respects under this Agreement for the twelve months ended December 31 of the preceding year (or, in the case of the first such certificate, from the Closing Date until December 31, 2005) set forth in the Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.10(a), and that (i) such examination was made in accordance with the standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, (ii) except as described in the report, the assertions in the Officer’s Certificate are, as to objectively determinable matters, fairly stated in all material respects and (iii) that the firm is independent of Master Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The certification required by this paragraph may be replaced by any similar certification using other procedures or attestation standards which are now or in the future in use by servicers of comparable motor vehicle receivables.

(b)

In the event such firm requires the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, Master Servicer shall direct the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as the case may be, in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as the case may be, will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of Master Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as the case may be, need not make any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.

(c)

Prior to January 30 of the first years in which Master Servicer is able to do so under applicable law, Master Servicer shall file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Issuer, unless specifically directed in writing not to do so by the Seller.

Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the respective offices of Master Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of Master Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Any Holder, by its acceptance of a Certificate or Note, as applicable, shall be deemed to have agreed to keep any information obtained by it pursuant to this Section confidential and not to use such information for any other purpose, except as required by applicable law.

SECTION 4.13. REPORTS TO THE COMMISSION. Master Servicer shall, at its expense, timely execute and cause to be prepared and filed (and in the case of any filings to be made pursuant to Sections 4.10(a) and 4.11(a), no later than March 21 of each year) with the Commission all periodic reports required to be filed with respect to the Issuer under the provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

SECTION 5.1. ESTABLISHMENT OF COLLECTION ACCOUNT.

(a)

Master Servicer shall cause to be established:

(i)

For the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, in the name of Indenture Trustee, an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, which Eligible Deposit Account shall be established and maintained with the Indenture Trustee or its designee.

(ii)

For the benefit of the Noteholders, in the name of Indenture Trustee, an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Note Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders, which shall be established and maintained with the Indenture Trustee or its designee.

(iii)

An administrative subaccount within the Note Distribution Account at the Eligible Institution then maintaining the Note Distribution Account, which subaccount shall be designated the “Interest Distribution Account.” The Interest Distribution Account is established and maintained solely for administrative purposes.

(iv)

An administrative subaccount within the Note Distribution Account at the Eligible Institution then maintaining the Note Distribution Account, which subaccount shall be designated the “Principal Distribution Account.” The Principal Distribution Account is established and maintained solely for administrative purposes.

(b)

Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Note Distribution Account and the Reserve Account (collectively, the “Trust Accounts”) shall be invested by Indenture Trustee with respect to the Trust Accounts and by the Owner Trustee with respect to the Certificate Distribution Account (or any custodian with respect to funds on deposit in any such account) in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the holder of a majority of the Certificates and of which the holder of a majority of the Certificates provides notification (pursuant to standing instructions or otherwise); provided that it is understood and agreed that neither the holder of a majority of the Certificates, Indenture Trustee nor Owner Trustee shall be liable for any loss arising from such investment in Eligible Investments. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by or on behalf of Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders or by Owner Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders, as applicable. Funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the Deposit Date preceding the next Payment Date; provided, that upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition and with the approval of the Indenture Trustee, funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts may be invested in Eligible Investments that mature on the Business Day prior to such Payment Date. No Eligible Investment shall be sold or otherwise disposed of prior to its scheduled maturity unless a default occurs with respect to such Eligible Investment and the holder of a majority of the Certificates directs Indenture Trustee in writing to dispose of such Eligible Investment. Funds deposited in the Trust Accounts or Certificate Distribution Account on a Deposit Date shall be invested overnight. If the Indenture Trustee does not receive written investment directions by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on any Business Day, amounts collected or received from the Trust Estate on such day shall be held by the Indenture Trustee uninvested.

(c)

The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (excluding investment income thereon as provided in Section 5.1(e)) and all such funds, investments and proceeds shall be part of the Owner Trust Estate. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trust Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders; provided, however, the Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with any obligation for the benefit of the Certificateholders except as provided by the terms of this Agreement. If, at any time, any of the Trust Accounts or the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, Indenture Trustee (or Master Servicer on its behalf) or Owner Trustee (only to the extent it has actual knowledge of such event and has received written instructions from the Master Servicer to do so), as applicable, shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Trust Account or Certificate Distribution Account, as applicable, as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Trust Account or new Certificate Distribution Account, as applicable. In connection with the foregoing, Master Servicer agrees that, in the event that the Collection Account is not an account with Indenture Trustee or its designee, Master Servicer shall notify Indenture Trustee in writing promptly upon any of such Trust Accounts ceasing to be an Eligible Deposit Account.

(d)

With respect to the Trust Account Property, Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee agree that:

(i)

any Trust Account Property that consists of uninvested funds shall be held solely in Eligible Deposit Accounts and, except as otherwise provided herein, each such Eligible Deposit Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Indenture Trustee, and, except as otherwise provided in the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee or its designee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

(iv)

any Trust Account Property that is an “uncertificated security” under Article 8 of the UCC and that is not governed by clause (iii) above shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee or its designee in accordance with paragraph (c) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee or such designee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued registration of the Indenture Trustee’s (or its designee’s) ownership of such security on the books of the issuer thereof.

(e)

Investment earnings, net of losses, attributable to the Trust Accounts (other than the Reserve Account) shall be attributable to the Trust Account Property shall be available to pay the distributions provided for in Section 5.5, provided that investment earnings on funds on deposit in the Collection Account from the Business Day prior to each Payment Date to the Payment Date shall be paid to the Indenture Trustee.

Master Servicer shall remit within two Business Days of receipt thereof to the Collection Account all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors with respect to the Receivables (other than any amounts constituting Supplemental Servicing Fees) and all Liquidation Proceeds, both as collected during the Collection Period.

With respect to each Receivable (other than a Purchased Receivable), collections and payments by or on behalf of the Obligor for each Collection Period shall be applied first to all fees, including, but not limited to all late fees, NSF fees and extension fees collected during such Collection Period on the Receivables and payment holiday extension fees collected during such Collection Period, second to amounts owed with respect to a Physical Damage Insurance Policy purchased by the Master Servicer and third to interest and principal due in accordance with the Simple Interest Method, as applied by Master Servicer. Any excess shall be applied to prepay the Receivable.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer does not remit within two Business Days of receipt thereof to the Collection Account all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors with respect to the Receivables and all Liquidation Proceeds, both as collected during the Collection Period, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Certificate Distribution Account no later than 1:00 p.m. on each Payment Date, an amount equal to the total amount of principal, interest and fees collected during the Collection Period, times the Federal Funds Rate, times a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (i) the number of days during such Collection Period divided by two plus (ii) the number of days elapsing from and including the last day of the Collection Period through but excluding the Payment Date, and the denominator of which is 360 days (the “Interest Equivalent Payment”), such amount to be certified to the Owner Trustee by the Master Servicer on the Business Day prior to such Payment Date.
