The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood that collections in the nature of late payment charges or extension fees or collections allocable to payments to be made by the Master Servicer on behalf of Obligors for payment of insurance premiums or similar items need not be deposited in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation or for application on behalf of Obligors, as the case may be. With respect to payments of Monthly P&I made by Obligors to the Master Servicer's lock box, the Master Servicer shall direct the Person maintaining the lock box to deposit the amount collected on or in respect of the Contracts to the Collection Account. In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Contract pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicer to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, on a daily basis, within two Business Days after receipt by the Subservicer, all proceeds of Contracts and all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds received by the Subservicer.

The Master Servicer agrees, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Securityholders, to act as such custodian and bailee, and to hold and deal with such monies and such collections, as custodian and bailee for the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

With the approval of the Master Servicer and the Insurer, a Subservicer may delegate its servicing obligations to third-party servicers, but such Subservicer will remain obligated under the related Subservicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and a Subservicer may enter into amendments thereto or different forms of Subservicing Agreements and the form attached as Exhibit D hereto is merely provided for information and shall not be deemed to limit in any respect the discretion of the Master Servicer to modify or enter into different Subservicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement or materially adversely affect the rights of Noteholders, Certificateholders or the Insurer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Subservicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall either act directly as servicer of the related Contract or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer approved by the Insurer which will be bound by the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through such Persons or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Securityholders for the servicing and administering of the Contracts in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from a Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Contracts. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or servicing arrangements relating to the Contracts involving a Subservicer or other Affiliate of the Master Servicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer or such other Affiliate, as the case may be, and the Master Servicer alone, and none of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders nor the Certificateholders shall be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph; provided that the Insurer may rely upon the representations and warranties of the Subservicer contained therein. In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be a servicer (including, but not limited to, by reason of an Event of Default), the Indenture Trustee or its designee may, at the sole discretion of the Indenture Trustee, thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement selected by the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion. In such event, the Indenture Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each such Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Indenture Trustee but at the expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each such Subservicing Agreement and the Contracts then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party. On the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account (i) all installments of Monthly P&I due on or after the Cut-Off Date and received by the Master Servicer at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date; (ii) the proceeds of each Prepayment (excluding any portion allocable to principal and interest due before the Cut-Off Date) of any such Contract received by the Master Servicer on or after the Cut-Off Date) but no later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date; and (iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds realized in respect of a Financed Vehicle at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Subject to Section 5.02 respecting deposits in the Holding Account, the Master Servicer shall deposit in or credit to the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt all collections of Monthly P&I due on or after the Cut-Off Date received by it on or in respect of the Contracts together with the proceeds of all Prepayments and any accompanying interest; provided, however, that, to the extent any such installment of Monthly P&I or any such Prepayment proceeds are received in respect of a Contract as to which there is an outstanding and unreimbursed Advance or Advances, such installment or proceeds shall, to the extent of any such unreimbursed Advance or Advances, be retained by the Master Servicer in reimbursement of itself. The Master Servicer shall likewise deposit in the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds after deducting therefrom the amount of any outstanding and unreimbursed Advances made by it in respect of such Contract. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Master Servicer may, in the event it determines that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or Advances, reimburse itself from unrelated installments of Monthly P&I or Prepayment proceeds to the extent it shall, concurrently with the withholding of any such installment or proceeds from deposit in or credit to the Collection Account as required above, furnish to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer a certificate of a Servicing Officer setting forth the basis for the Master Servicer's determination, the amount of and Contract with respect to which such Nonrecoverable Advance was made and the installment or installments or other proceeds respecting which reimbursement has been taken; provided, however, that the Master Servicer must provide such certificate within three months of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Advances. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood that collections in the nature of late payment charges or extension fees or collections allocable to payments to be made by the Master Servicer on behalf of Obligors for payment of insurance premiums or similar items need not be deposited in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation or for application on behalf of Obligors, as the case may be. Amounts otherwise required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall instead be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Holding Account to the extent such amounts are payments of Monthly P&I due in one or more months subsequent to the end of the Due Period during which such payments are received. With respect to payments of Monthly P&I made by Obligors to the Master Servicer's lock box, the Master Servicer shall direct the Person maintaining the lock box to deposit the amount collected on or in respect of the Contracts to the Collection Account. In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Contract pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicer to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, on a daily basis, within two Business Days after receipt by the Subservicer, all proceeds of Contracts and all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds received by the Subservicer. In order to facilitate the servicing of the Contracts by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall retain, subject to and only to the extent permitted by the provisions of this Agreement, all collections on or in respect of the Contracts prior to the time they are remitted or credited, in accordance with such provisions, to the Collection Account or the Holding Account, as the case may be. The Master Servicer acknowledges that the unremitted collections on the Contracts are part of the Trust Estate and the Master Servicer agrees to act as custodian and bailee of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer in holding such monies and collections. The Master Servicer agrees, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Securityholders and the Insurer, to act as such custodian and bailee, and to hold and deal with such monies and such collections, as custodian and bailee for the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall retain all data (including, without limitation, computerized records) relating directly to or maintained in connection with the servicing of the Contracts at the address of the Master Servicer set forth as Schedule B to this Agreement, at the office of any Subservicer or, upon 15 days' notice to the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, at such other place where the servicing offices of the Master Servicer are located, and shall give the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer access to all data at all reasonable times. While a Servicer Default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer shall, on demand of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Insurer, deliver or cause to be delivered to the

Duties of Master Servicer. The Master Servicer, acting alone and/or through one or more Subservicers as provided in this Section, shall, as agent for the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer, manage, service, administer and make collections on the Contracts. The Master Servicer agrees that its servicing of the Contracts shall be carried out in accordance with customary and usual procedures of financial institutions which service motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and installment loans and, to the extent more exacting, the procedures used by the Master Servicer in respect of such contracts serviced by it for its own account. In accordance with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, whenever an Obligor has become delinquent or the Master Servicer believes an Obligor may become delinquent, in order to preserve the ultimate collectability of amounts due on a Contract, modify the payment schedule on any Contract by reducing the APR on such Contract without the consent of the Insurer or any Rating Agency; provided, however, that the new APR shall not be less than the sum of (i) the Pass-Through Rate, (ii) the Servicing Fee Percent and (iii) the Retained Yield Percent. In addition, in order to preserve the Trust Estate, the Master Servicer may, without the consent of any Rating Agency or the Insurer, reduce the principal amount of a Contract (i.e., write-down a portion of the principal amount due on such Contract and, accordingly, lower the Monthly P&I on such Contract) to the extent funds are available in the Spread Account to cover such reduction; provided however, the total amount of such modifications pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and this sentence and reductions (i) may not affect more than 1% of the Original Pool Balance through the Certificate Final Distribution Date and (ii) during each three-month period between Distribution Dates (or in the case of the first Distribution Date, from the Cut-Off Date to such Distribution Date) shall not affect Contracts having an aggregate Scheduled Balance greater than 10/100 of one percent of the Pool Balance at the beginning of such period. Any such modifications or reductions exceeding such limits may be made only with the consent of the Insurer and each Rating Agency. The Master Servicer may also extend the Maturity Date on a Contract in accordance with Section 4.02. The Master Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Contracts, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer with respect to distributions and filing applicable U.S. tax returns for the Trust on an annual basis, based on a tax year for the Trust that is the calendar year. The Master Servicer shall have, subject to the terms hereof, full power and authority, acting alone, and subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall commence repossession efforts in respect of any Financed Vehicle respecting which the related Contract is four or more months delinquent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Trust, the Insurer, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any of them,, 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 Contracts or to the Financed Vehicles.

On the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee a list of Servicing Officers involved in, or responsible for, the administration and servicing of the Contracts, which list shall from time to time be updated by the Master Servicer on request of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer. The Master Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements with one or more Subservicers approved by the Insurer for the servicing and administration of certain of the Contracts (including holding the related Contract Files as custodian).

References herein to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Contracts include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master Servicer and the Insurer. Each Subservicing Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Master Servicer and the Subservicer have agreed.

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Subservicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall either act directly as servicer of the related Contract or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer approved by the Insurer which will be bound by the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through such Persons or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Securityholders for the servicing and administering of the Contracts in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from a Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Contracts. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or servicing arrangements relating to the Contracts involving a Subservicer or other Affiliate of the Master Servicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer or such other Affiliate, as the case may be, and the Master Servicer alone, and none of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders nor the Certificateholders shall be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph; provided that the Insurer may rely upon the representations and warranties of the Subservicer contained therein. In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be a servicer (including, but not limited to, by reason of an Event of Default), the Indenture Trustee or its designee may, at the sole discretion of the Indenture Trustee, thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement selected by the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion. In such event, the Indenture Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each such Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing Agreement.

Duties of Master Servicer. The Master Servicer, acting alone and/or through one or more Subservicers as provided in this Section, shall, as agent for the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer, manage, service, administer and make collections on the Contracts. The Master Servicer agrees that its servicing of the Contracts shall be carried out in accordance with customary and usual procedures of financial institutions which service motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and installment loans and, to the extent more exacting, the procedures used by the Master Servicer in respect of such contracts serviced by it for its own account. In accordance with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, whenever an Obligor has become delinquent or the Master Servicer believes an Obligor may become delinquent, in order to preserve the ultimate collectability of amounts due on a Contract, modify the payment schedule on any Contract by reducing the APR on such Contract without the consent of the Insurer or any Rating Agency; provided, however, that the new APR shall not be less than the sum of (i) the Pass-Through Rate, (ii) the Servicing Fee Percent and (iii) the Retained Yield Percent. In addition, in order to preserve the Trust Estate, the Master Servicer may, without the consent of any Rating Agency or the Insurer, reduce the principal amount of a Contract (i.e., write-down a portion of the principal amount due on such Contract and, accordingly, lower the Monthly P&I on such Contract) to the extent funds are available in the Spread Account to cover such reduction; provided however, the total amount of such modifications pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and this sentence and reductions (i) may not affect more than 1% of the Original Pool Balance through the Certificate Final Distribution Date and (ii) during each three-month period between Distribution Dates (or in the case of the first Distribution Date, from the Cut-Off Date to such Distribution Date) shall not affect Contracts having an aggregate Scheduled Balance greater than 10/100 of one percent of the Pool Balance at the beginning of such period. Any such modifications or reductions exceeding such limits may be made only with the consent of the Insurer and each Rating Agency. The Master Servicer may also extend the Maturity Date on a Contract in accordance with Section 4.02. The Master Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Contracts, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer with respect to distributions and filing applicable U.S. tax returns for the Trust on an annual basis, based on a tax year for the Trust that is the calendar year. The Master Servicer shall have, subject to the terms hereof, full power and authority, acting alone, and subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall commence repossession efforts in respect of any Financed Vehicle respecting which the related Contract is four or more months delinquent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Trust, the Insurer, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any of them,, 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 Contracts or to the Financed Vehicles. The Owner Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer all documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. On the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee a list of Servicing Officers involved in, or responsible for, the administration and servicing of the Contracts, which list shall from time to time be updated by the Master Servicer on request of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer. The Master Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements with one or more Subservicers approved by the Insurer for the servicing and administration of certain of the Contracts (including holding the related Contract Files as custodian). The Master Servicer shall notify each Rating Agency promptly if a Subservicer is hired. References herein to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Contracts include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master Servicer and the Insurer. Each Subservicing Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Master Servicer and the Subservicer have agreed. With the approval of the Master Servicer and the Insurer, a Subservicer may delegate its servicing obligations to third-party servicers, but such Subservicer will remain obligated under the related Subservicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and a Subservicer may enter into amendments thereto or different forms of Subservicing Agreements and the form attached as Exhibit E hereto is merely provided for information and shall not be deemed to limit in any respect the discretion of the Master Servicer to modify or enter into different Subservicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement or materially adversely affect the rights of Noteholders, Certificateholders or the Insurer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Subservicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall either act directly as servicer of the related Contract or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer approved by the Insurer which will be bound by the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through such Persons or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Securityholders for the servicing and administering of the Contracts in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from a Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Contracts. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or servicing arrangements relating to the Contracts involving a Subservicer or other Affiliate of the Master Servicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer or such other Affiliate, as the case may be, and the Master Servicer alone, and none of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders nor the Certificateholders shall be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph; provided that the Insurer may rely upon the representations and warranties of the Subservicer contained therein. In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be a servicer (including, but not limited to, by reason of an Event of Default), the Indenture Trustee or its designee may, at the sole discretion of the Indenture Trustee, thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement selected by the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion. In such event, the Indenture Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each such Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Indenture Trustee but at the expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each such Subservicing Agreement and the Contracts then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party. On the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account (i) all installments of Monthly P&I due on or after August 1, 1998 and received by the Master Servicer at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date; (ii) the proceeds of each Prepayment (excluding any portion allocable to principal and interest due before August 1, 1998) of any such Contract received by the Master Servicer on or after August 1, 1998 but no later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date; and (iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds realized in respect of a Financed Vehicle at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Subject to Section 5.02 respecting deposits in the Holding Account, the Master Servicer shall deposit in or credit to the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt all collections of Monthly P&I due on or after June 1, 1998 received by it on or in respect of the Contracts together with the proceeds of all Prepayments and any accompanying interest; provided, however, that, to the extent any such installment of Monthly P&I or any such Prepayment proceeds are received in respect of a Contract as to which there is an outstanding and unreimbursed Advance or Advances, such installment or proceeds shall, to the extent of any such unreimbursed Advance or Advances, be retained by the Master Servicer in

In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Contract pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicer to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, on a daily basis, within two Business Days after receipt by the Subservicer, all proceeds of Contracts and all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds received by the Subservicer. In order to facilitate the servicing of the Contracts by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall retain, subject to and only to the extent permitted by the provisions of this Agreement, all collections on or in respect of the Contracts prior to the time they are remitted or credited, in accordance with such provisions, to the Collection Account or the Holding Account, as the case may be. The Master Servicer acknowledges that the unremitted collections on the Contracts are part of the Trust Estate and the Master Servicer agrees to act as custodian and bailee of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer in holding such monies and collections. The Master Servicer agrees, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Securityholders and the Insurer, to act as such custodian and bailee, and to hold and deal with such monies and such collections, as custodian and bailee for the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall retain all data (including, without limitation, computerized records) relating directly to or maintained in connection with the servicing of the Contracts at the address of the Master Servicer set forth as Schedule B to this Agreement, at the office of any Subservicer or, upon 15 days' notice to the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, at such other place where the servicing offices of the Master Servicer are located, and shall give the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer access to all data at all reasonable times. While a Servicer Default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer shall, on demand of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Insurer, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Insurer, as the case may be, all data (including, 46 without limitation, computerized records and, to the extent transferable, related operating software) necessary for the servicing of the Contracts and all monies collected by it and required to be deposited in or credited to the Collection Account or the Holding Account, as the case may be.

Duties of Master Servicer. The Master Servicer, acting alone and/or through one or more Subservicers as provided in this Section, shall, as agent for the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer, manage, service, administer and make collections on the Contracts. The Master Servicer agrees that its servicing of the Contracts shall be carried out in accordance with customary and usual procedures of financial institutions which service motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and installment loans and, to the extent more exacting, the procedures used by the Master Servicer in respect of such contracts serviced by it for its own account. In accordance with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, whenever an Obligor has become delinquent or the Master Servicer believes an Obligor may become delinquent, in order to preserve the ultimate collectability of amounts due on a Contract, modify the payment schedule on any Contract by reducing the APR on such Contract without the consent of the Insurer or any Rating Agency; provided, however, that the new APR shall not be less than the sum of (i) the Pass-Through Rate, (ii) the Servicing Fee Percent and (iii) the Retained Yield Percent. In addition, in order to preserve the Trust Estate, the Master Servicer may, without the consent of any Rating Agency or the Insurer, reduce the principal amount of a Contract (i.e., write-down a portion of the principal amount due on such Contract and, accordingly, lower the Monthly P&I on such Contract) to the extent funds are available in the Spread Account to cover such reduction; provided however, the total amount of such modifications pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and this sentence and reductions (i) may not affect more than 1% of the Original Pool Balance through the Certificate Final Distribution Date and (ii) during each three-month period between Distribution Dates (or in the case of the first Distribution Date, from the Cut-Off Date to such Distribution Date) shall not affect Contracts having an aggregate Scheduled Balance greater than 10/100 of one percent of the Pool Balance at the beginning of such period. Any such modifications or reductions exceeding such limits may be made only with the consent of the Insurer and each Rating Agency. The Master Servicer may also extend the Maturity Date on a Contract in accordance with Section 4.02. The Master Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Contracts, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer with respect to distributions and filing applicable U.S. tax returns for the Trust on an annual basis, based on a tax year for the Trust that is the calendar year. The Master Servicer shall have, subject to the terms hereof, full power and authority, acting alone, and subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall commence repossession efforts in respect of any Financed Vehicle respecting which the related Contract is four or more months delinquent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Trust, the Insurer, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any of them,, 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 Contracts or to the Financed Vehicles. The Owner Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer all documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. On the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee a list of Servicing Officers involved in, or responsible for, the administration and servicing of the Contracts, which list shall from time to time be updated by the Master Servicer on request of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer.

The Master Servicer shall notify each Rating Agency promptly if a Subservicer is hired. References herein to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Contracts include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master Servicer and the Insurer. Each Subservicing Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Master Servicer and the Subservicer have agreed. With the approval of the Master Servicer and the Insurer, a Subservicer may delegate its servicing obligations to third-party servicers, but such Subservicer will remain obligated under the related Subservicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and a Subservicer may enter into amendments thereto or different forms of Subservicing Agreements and the form attached as Exhibit E hereto is merely provided for information and shall not be deemed to limit in any respect the discretion of the Master Servicer to modify or enter into different Subservicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement or materially adversely affect the rights of Noteholders, Certificateholders or the Insurer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Subservicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall either act directly as servicer of the related Contract or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer approved by the Insurer which will be bound by the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through such Persons or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Securityholders for the servicing and administering of the Contracts in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from a Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Contracts. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or servicing arrangements relating to the Contracts involving a Subservicer or other Affiliate of the Master Servicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer or such other Affiliate, as the case may be, and the Master Servicer alone, and none of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders nor the Certificateholders shall be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph; provided that the Insurer may rely upon the representations and warranties of the Subservicer contained therein. In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be a servicer (including, but not limited to, by reason of an Event of Default), the Indenture Trustee or its designee may, at the sole discretion of the Indenture Trustee, thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement selected by the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion. In such event, the Indenture Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each such Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Indenture Trustee but at the expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each such Subservicing Agreement and the Contracts then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party. On the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account (i) all installments of Monthly P&I due on or after _________ __, 1999 and received by the Master Servicer at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date; (ii) the proceeds of each Prepayment (excluding any portion allocable to principal and interest due before _________ __, 1999) of any such Contract received by the Master Servicer on or after _________ __, 1999 but no later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date; and (iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds realized in respect of a Financed Vehicle at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Subject to Section 5.02 respecting deposits in the Holding Account, the Master Servicer shall deposit in or credit to the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt all collections of Monthly P&I due on or after _________ __, 1999 received by it on or in respect of the Contracts together with the proceeds of all Prepayments and any accompanying interest; provided, however, that, to the extent any such installment of Monthly P&I or any such Prepayment proceeds are received in respect of a Contract as to which there is an outstanding and unreimbursed Advance or Advances, such installment or proceeds shall, to the extent of any such unreimbursed Advance or Advances, be retained by the Master Servicer in reimbursement of itself. The Master Servicer shall likewise deposit in the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds after deducting therefrom the amount of any outstanding and unreimbursed Advances made by it in respect of such Contract. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Master Servicer may, in the event it determines that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or Advances, reimburse itself from unrelated installments of Monthly P&I or Prepayment proceeds to the extent it shall, concurrently with the withholding of any such installment or proceeds from deposit in or credit to the Collection Account as required above, furnish to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer a certificate of a Servicing Officer setting forth the basis for the Master Servicer's determination, the amount of and Contract with respect to which such Nonrecoverable Advance was made and the installment or installments or other proceeds respecting which reimbursement has been taken. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood that collections in the nature of late payment charges or extension fees or collections allocable to payments to be made by the Master Servicer on behalf of Obligors for payment of insurance premiums or similar items need not be deposited in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation or for application on behalf of Obligors, as the case may be. Amounts otherwise required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall instead be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Holding Account to the extent such amounts are payments of Monthly P&I due in one or more months subsequent to the end of the Due Period during which such payments are received. With respect to payments of Monthly P&I made by Obligors to the Master Servicer's lock box, the Master Servicer shall direct the Person maintaining the lock box to deposit the amount collected on or in respect of the Contracts to the Collection Account. In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Contract pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicer to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, on a daily basis, within two Business Days after receipt by the Subservicer, all proceeds of Contracts and all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds received by the Subservicer. In order to facilitate the servicing of the Contracts by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall retain, subject to and only to the extent permitted by the provisions of this Agreement, all collections on or in respect of the Contracts prior to the time they are remitted or credited, in accordance with such provisions, to the Collection Account or the Holding Account, as the case may be. The Master Servicer acknowledges that the unremitted collections on the Contracts are part of the Trust Estate and the Master Servicer agrees to act as custodian and bailee of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer in holding such monies and collections. The Master Servicer agrees, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Securityholders and the Insurer, to act as such custodian and bailee, and to hold and deal with such monies and such collections, as custodian and bailee for the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall retain all data (including, without limitation, computerized records) relating directly to or maintained in connection with the servicing of the Contracts at the address of the Master Servicer set forth as Schedule B to this Agreement, at the office of any Subservicer or, upon 15 days' notice to the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, at such other place where the servicing offices of the Master Servicer are located, and shall give the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer access to all data at all reasonable times. While a Servicer Default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer shall, on demand of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Insurer, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Insurer, as the case may be, all data (including, without limitation, computerized records and, to the extent transferable, related operating software) necessary for the servicing of the Contracts and all monies collected by it and required to be deposited in or credited to the Collection Account or the Holding Account, as the case may be.

The foregoing notwithstanding, the Master Servicer may, in the event it determines that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or Advances, reimburse itself from unrelated installments of Monthly P&I or Prepayment proceeds to the extent it shall, concurrently with the withholding of any such installment or proceeds from deposit in or credit to the Collection Account as required above, furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer setting forth the basis for the Master Servicer's determination, the amount of and Contract with respect to which such Nonrecoverable Advance was made and the installment or installments or other proceeds respecting which reimbursement has been taken.

With respect to payments of Monthly P&I made by Obligors to the Master Servicer's lock box, the Master Servicer shall direct the Person maintaining the lock box to deposit, within two Business Days of receipt, the amount collected on or in respect of the Contracts to the Collection Account.

In order to facilitate the servicing of the Contracts by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall retain, subject to and only to the extent permitted by the provisions of this Agreement, all collections on or in respect of the Contracts prior to the time they are remitted or credited, in accordance with such provisions, to the Collection Account, as the case may be. The Master Servicer acknowledges that the unremitted collections on the Contracts are part of the Trust Estate and the Master Servicer agrees to act as custodian and bailee of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in holding such monies and collections. The Master Servicer agrees, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Securityholders, to act as such custodian and bailee, and to hold and deal with such monies and such collections, as custodian and bailee for the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall retain all data (including computerized records) relating directly to or maintained in connection with the servicing of the Contracts at the address of the Master Servicer set forth as Schedule B to this Agreement, at the office of any Subservicer or, upon 15 days' notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, at such other place where the servicing offices of the Master Servicer are located, and shall give the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee access to all data at all reasonable times.

Duties of Master Servicer. The Master Servicer, acting alone and/or through one or more Subservicers as provided in this Section, shall, as agent for the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer, manage, service, administer and make collections on the Contracts. The Master Servicer agrees that its servicing of the Contracts shall be carried out in accordance with customary and usual procedures of financial institutions which service motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and installment loans and, to the extent more exacting, the procedures used by the Master Servicer in respect of such contracts serviced by it for its own account. In accordance with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, whenever an Obligor has become delinquent or the Master Servicer believes an Obligor may become delinquent, in order to preserve the ultimate collectability of amounts due on a Contract, modify the payment schedule on any Contract by reducing the APR on such Contract without the consent of the Insurer or any Rating Agency; provided, however, that the new APR shall not be less than the sum of (i) the Pass-Through Class A-4A Rate, (ii) the Servicing Fee Percent and (iii) the Retained Yield Percent. In addition, in order to preserve the Trust Estate, the Master Servicer may, without the consent of any Rating Agency or the Insurer, reduce the principal amount of a Contract (i.e., write-down a portion of the principal amount due on such Contract and, accordingly, lower the Monthly P&I on such Contract) to the extent funds are available in the Spread Account to cover such reduction; provided provided, however, the total amount of such modifications pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and this sentence and reductions (i) may not affect more than 1% of the Original Pool Balance through the Certificate Class A-4 Final Scheduled Distribution Date and (ii) during each three-month period between Distribution Dates (or in the case of the first Distribution Date, from the Cut-Off Date to such Distribution Date) shall not affect Contracts having an aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance greater than 10/100 one-tenth of one percent of the Pool Balance at the beginning of such period. Any such modifications or reductions exceeding such limits may be made only with the consent of the Insurer and each Rating Agency. The Master Servicer may also extend the Maturity Date on a Contract in accordance with Section 4.02. The Master Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Contracts, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer with respect to distributions and filing applicable U.S. tax returns for the Trust Issuer on an annual basis, based on a tax year for the Trust Issuer that is the calendar year. The Master Servicer shall have, subject to the terms hereof, full power and authority, acting alone, and subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall commence repossession efforts in respect of any Financed Vehicle respecting which the related Contract is four or more months delinquent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Trust, the Insurer, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any of them,, 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 Contracts or to the Financed Vehicles. The Owner Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer all documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. On the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee a list of Servicing Officers involved in, or responsible for, the administration and servicing of the Contracts, which list shall from time to time be updated by the Master Servicer on request of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer. The Master Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements with one or more Subservicers approved by the Insurer for the servicing and administration of certain of the Contracts (including holding the related Contract Files as custodian). The Master Servicer shall notify each Rating Agency promptly if a Subservicer is hired. References herein to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Contracts include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master Servicer and the Insurer. Each Subservicing Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Master Servicer and the Subservicer have agreed. With the approval of the Master Servicer and the Insurer, a Subservicer may delegate its servicing obligations to third-party servicers, but such Subservicer will remain obligated under the related Subservicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and a Subservicer may enter into amendments thereto or different forms of Subservicing Agreements and the form attached as Exhibit D hereto is merely provided for information and shall not be deemed to limit in any respect the discretion of the Master Servicer to modify or enter into different Subservicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement or materially adversely affect the rights of Noteholders, Certificateholders or the Insurer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination of any Subservicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall either act directly as servicer of the related Contract or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer approved by the Insurer which will be bound by the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through such Persons or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Securityholders for the servicing and administering of the Contracts in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from a Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Contracts. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or servicing arrangements relating to the Contracts involving a Subservicer or other Affiliate of the Master Servicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer or such other Affiliate, as the case may be, and the Master Servicer alone, and none of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders nor the Certificateholders shall be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph; provided that the Insurer may rely upon the representations and warranties of the Subservicer contained therein. In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be a servicer (including, but not limited to, by reason of an Event of Default), the Indenture Trustee or its designee may, at the sole discretion of the Indenture Trustee, thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement selected by the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion. In such event, the Indenture Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each such Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Indenture Trustee but at the expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each such Subservicing Agreement and the Contracts then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party. On the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account (i) all installments of Monthly P&I due on or after the Cut-Off Date and received by the Master Servicer at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date; (ii) the proceeds of each Prepayment (excluding any portion allocable to principal and interest due before the Cut-Off Date) of any such Contract received by the Master Servicer on or after the Cut-Off Date) but no later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date; and (iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds realized in respect of a Financed Vehicle at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Subject to Section 5.02 respecting deposits in the Holding Account, the Master Servicer shall deposit in or credit to the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt all collections of Monthly P&I due on or after the Cut-Off Date received by it on or in respect of the Contracts together with the proceeds of all Prepayments and any accompanying interest; provided, however, that, to the extent any such installment of Monthly P&I or any such Prepayment proceeds are received in respect of a Contract as to which there is an outstanding and unreimbursed Advance or Advances, such installment or proceeds shall, to the extent of any such unreimbursed Advance or Advances, be retained by the Master Servicer in reimbursement of itself. The Master Servicer shall likewise deposit in the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds after deducting therefrom the amount of any outstanding and unreimbursed Advances made by it in respect of such Contract. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Master Servicer may, in the event it determines that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or Advances, reimburse itself from unrelated installments of Monthly P&I or Prepayment proceeds to the extent it shall, concurrently with the withholding of any such installment or proceeds from deposit in or credit to the Collection Account as required above, furnish to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer a certificate of a Servicing Officer setting forth the basis for the Master Servicer's determination, the amount of and Contract with respect to which such Nonrecoverable Advance was made and the installment or installments or other proceeds respecting which reimbursement has been taken; provided, however, that the Master Servicer must provide such certificate within three months of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Advances. The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood that collections in the nature of late payment charges or extension fees or collections allocable to payments to be made by the Master Servicer on behalf of Obligors for payment of insurance premiums or similar items need not be deposited in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation or for application on behalf of Obligors, as the case may be. Amounts otherwise required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall instead be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Holding Account to the extent such amounts are payments of Monthly P&I due in one or more months subsequent to the end of the Due Period during which such payments are received. With respect to payments of Monthly P&I made by Obligors to the Master Servicer's lock box, the Master Servicer shall direct the Person maintaining the lock box to deposit the amount collected on or in respect of the Contracts to the Collection Account. In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Contract pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicer to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, on a daily basis, within two Business Days after receipt by the Subservicer, all proceeds of Contracts and all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds received by the Subservicer.

The Master Servicer acknowledges that the unremitted collections on the Contracts are part of the Trust Estate and the Master Servicer agrees to act as custodian and bailee of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in holding such monies and collections. The Master Servicer agrees, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Securityholders, to act as such custodian and bailee, and to hold and deal with such monies and such collections, as custodian and bailee for the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall retain all data (including, without limitation, computerized records) relating directly to or maintained in connection with the servicing of the Contracts at the address of the Master Servicer set forth as Schedule B to this Agreement, at the office of any Subservicer or, upon 15 days' notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, at such other place where the servicing offices of the Master Servicer are located, and shall give the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee access to all data at all reasonable times. While a Servicer Default shall be continuing, the Master Servicer shall, on demand of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, all data (including, without limitation, computerized records and, to the extent transferable, related operating software) necessary for the servicing of the Contracts and all monies collected by it and required to be deposited in or credited to the Collection Account.
