SECTION 2 -- PURCHASE OF SECURED LOANS
2.1 Purchase Procedures - Terms Schedules. The Seller may sell and the
Purchaser may purchase Secured Loans and Related Secured Loan Rights from time
to time in accordance with this Agreement and the procedures set out in this
Section 2.1 and in Sections 2.2 and 2.3.
(a) General. From time to time, the parties may execute and deliver a Terms
Schedule which, upon such execution and delivery, shall evidence their binding
agreement with respect to the purchase and sale of the Secured Loans and
Related Secured Loan Rights described in such Terms Schedule and upon the
terms and conditions set forth therein. Except to the extent modified,
replaced, restated or supplemented in a Terms Schedule, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement are incorporated by reference into each Terms
Schedule mutatis mutandis and shall apply to the Purchase contemplated
thereby.
(b) Related Terms Schedules. If a Terms Schedule (each, a "new Terms
Schedule") is expressed to be a Related Terms Schedule related to one or more
Terms Schedules designated in the new Terms Schedule (each, a "designated
Related Terms Schedule"), the Secured Loans and Related Secured Loan Rights
which are the subject of the new Terms Schedule, together with the Secured
Loans and Related Secured Loan Rights which are the subject of each other
designated Related Terms Schedule, shall form a single pool of Purchased
Assets for all purposes hereof. Related Terms Schedules which are expressed to
be related to each other shall be considered as one Transaction for the
purposes hereof.
(c) Inconsistencies. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions
herein contained and a Terms Schedule, the Terms Schedule shall prevail. In
the event of any inconsistency between one Related Terms Schedules and
another, the most recently executed Related Terms Schedule shall prevail.
2.2 Evidence and Effect of Sales. To evidence and effect the sale of the
Purchased Assets subject to a Purchase, the Seller shall deliver to the
Purchaser on the applicable Closing Date an Assignment referring to such
Purchased Assets. It is the intention of the parties that each such Assignment
shall constitute and effect an absolute and unconditional sale, assignment and
transfer of the Purchased Assets subject thereto and is not intended and shall
not be construed as a loan, secured financing or assignment by way of
security.
2.3 Purchase Price.
(a) Amount. The purchase price (the "Purchase Price") payable to the Seller by
the Purchaser in consideration of the sale of the Purchased Assets subject to
a Purchase shall be an amount equal to the sum of:
(1) the Prepayment Amount for such Purchase, plus
(2) (A) in the case of a Purchase pursuant to a Transaction constituted by
only one Terms Schedule, the Deferred Purchase Price relating to such
Purchase, or, (B) in the case of a Purchase pursuant to a Transaction
constituted by more than one Related Terms Schedules, the Applicable
Deferred Purchase Price,
as such sum may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with Section 2.4.
The purchase price in respect of each Transaction shall be an amount equal to
the sum of the Purchase Prices for all Purchases made pursuant to such
Transaction.
(b) Satisfaction of Purchase Price. The Purchaser shall satisfy the Purchase
Price for each Purchase as follows:
(1) subject to Section 2.3(c), as to an amount of the Purchase Price
equal to the applicable Prepayment Amount, by payment of each such
Prepayment Amount, less an amount equal to the applicable Cap Fee
and, in the case of the initial Purchase hereunder, the financial
advisory fee referred to in Section 4.1(a)(18) and the structuring
fee referred to in Section 4.1(a)(19), to the Seller by certified
cheque or wire transfer at each Time of Closing; and
(2) as to an amount of the Purchase Price equal to the Applicable
Deferred Purchase Price, by payment on each Settlement Date and on
the Final Collection Date of the amounts required to be paid under
Sections 2.6(a)(5) and 2.6(b).
(c) Cap Fee. The Seller agrees to pay the full amount of any fee or premium
payable by the Purchaser in respect of any Cap Agreement (each, a "Cap Fee"),
and for such purpose the Seller shall authorize and direct the Purchaser to
pay to Chrysler Financial on the relevant Closing Date an amount of the
Prepayment Amount otherwise payable to the Seller equal to the applicable Cap
Fee in respect of the applicable Purchase.
(d) Effect of Payment. Upon receipt of the applicable Prepayment Amount by the
Seller and the execution and delivery to the Purchaser by the Seller of the
related Assignment, all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to
the Purchased Assets subject to the Purchase shall pass to the Purchaser. All
Collections and Net Proceeds in respect of such Purchased Assets received by
the Seller on or after the relevant Cut-Off Date shall be for the account of
the Purchaser and shall be held in trust by the Seller and remitted to the
Collector for distribution in accordance with Section 2.5.
(e) Taxes. Each Purchase Price shall be inclusive of all taxes (including,
without limitation, sales, use, goods and services, excise and personal
property taxes, but not including capital tax or taxes on the net income of
the Purchaser) payable or asserted in any jurisdiction in connection with the
transfer of the related Purchased Assets.
(f) Limitations on Recourse to Purchaser. The obligation of the Purchaser to
the Seller to pay the Deferred Purchase Price in respect of any Transaction
shall be limited to, performed, satisfied and paid only from Collections and
Net Proceeds relating to such Transaction which have been received by the
Purchaser or by its duly authorized agent (other than the Seller or a Person
appointed by the Seller) on its behalf (whether or not remitted to the
Purchaser by such agent), and no other resort or recourse shall be had, no
judgment issued and no execution or other process shall be levied against the
Purchaser or the Indenture Trustee or their respective assets with respect to
such obligation.
2.4 Rectifying Adjustments to Purchase Price. If at any time, the Purchaser,
the Financial Services Agent or the Seller determines in good faith that in
respect of any Purchase the actual aggregate Net Book Value on the Closing
Date of the Purchased Assets subject to such Purchase (the "actual Net Book
Value") was less or greater than the amount of the aggregate Net Book Value
used to calculate the portion of the Applicable Deferred Purchase Price
described in Section 1.1(aa)(1)(A) allocable to such Purchase (the "estimated
Net Book Value"), the following adjustments shall be made:
(a) If the actual Net Book Value is determined to be less than the
estimated Net Book Value, the Prepayment Amount shall be decreased by
the amount of such deficiency, and the Seller shall on the second
Business Day following the date of such determination pay such amount
to the Collector for the account of the Purchaser for deposit to any
account designated by the Purchaser (other than the Purchaser's
Account); and the Program Amount shall be reduced by such amount.
(b) If the actual Net Book Value is determined to be greater than the
estimated Net Book Value, the Deferred Purchase Price shall be
increased by the amount of such excess.
2.5 Liquidation Procedures. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.5,
from the initial Cut-Off Date in respect of each Transaction, and on each day
thereafter, the Collector shall hold, for the account of the Purchaser in
trust, the Collections and Net Proceeds received on each day.
(a) Monthly Remittances. So long as:
(1) the Seller is the Collector, and
(2) the rating assigned to the long term debt of Chrysler Financial by
Xxxxx'x is at least Baa3 (or its then equivalent),
(each of the foregoing, a "Monthly Remittance Condition"), then the Collector
may remit all Collections and Net Proceeds received by the Collector during a
Settlement Period (collectively, the "Monthly Receipts") to the accounts to
which such Monthly Receipts are required to be deposited hereunder on the
related Settlement Date. Pending such deposit, the Collector shall continue to
hold all Monthly Receipts in trust for the Purchaser, but so long as each
Monthly Remittance Condition continues to be satisfied, the Collector shall be
authorized to commingle such Monthly Receipts with its own funds and make use
of such Monthly Receipts at its own risk and for its own benefit as it sees
fit.
(b) Daily Remittances. If on any date a Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to
be satisfied, the following provisions shall apply.
(1) The Purchaser may, or, at the direction of the Purchaser, the
Collector shall establish a General Account in the name of and for
the benefit of the Purchaser in respect of each Transaction in
sufficient time to enable the Collector to comply with Section
2.5(b)(2).
(2) So long as any Monthly Remittance Condition continues not to be
satisfied, the Collector shall deposit to the General Account within
two Business Days of receipt (or such other period as may be agreed
upon by the Purchaser) an amount equal to the greater of (A) all
Collections and Net Proceeds received by the Collector ("Daily
Receipts") and (B) the amount by which such Daily Receipts exceed the
sum of the amounts described in Sections 2.5(d)(6), 2.5(d)(7) and
2.5(d)(8) (such sum, the "Seller Reimbursable Amount").
(3) The Collector is hereby authorized and directed to pay the Seller
Reimbursable Amount to the Seller to the extent available out of
Daily Receipts. If the amount otherwise required to be transferred to
the Purchaser's Account in any Settlement Period in accordance with
Section 2.5(d) is less than the Seller Reimbursable Amount for such
Settlement Period, then on the Settlement Date following such
Settlement Period the Collector may withdraw the amount of such
deficiency from the available balance in the General Account which is
not allocable to Pay Aheads and pay such amount to any account
designated by the Seller on account of the Seller Reimbursable
Amount.
(4) On the Final Collection Date, in addition to the releases
contemplated by Section 2.6(b), the Collector (if the Seller is the
Collector) shall transfer any remaining balance in the General
Account to the Purchaser's Account to be distributed in accordance
with Sections 2.5(f) and 2.5(h).
(c) Transfers of Purchase Discount to Purchaser.
(1) On the last day of each Settlement Period, the Collector is hereby
authorized and directed to transfer from the Collections and Net
Proceeds received in the Settlement Period then just completed
(whether from the General Account or otherwise) to any account
designated by the Purchaser (other than the Purchaser's Account) an
amount equal to the Purchase Discount for the Settlement Period
ending on such date and any portion of the Purchase Discount
calculated with respect to any prior Settlement Period not so
transferred on the last day of any prior Settlement Period in
accordance with the terms hereof.
(2) If the sum of the Collections and Net Proceeds received in the
Settlement Period then just completed is less than the Purchase
Discount calculated with respect to such Settlement Period, then an
amount equal to the lesser of:
(A) the amount of such shortfall; and
(B) the available balance in the Deferred Purchase Account,
shall be deducted from the Deferred Purchase Price as a refund to the
Purchaser, and for such purpose the Collector is authorized and
directed by the Seller to transfer such amount from the Deferred
Purchase Account to any account of the Purchaser designated by the
Purchaser other than the Purchaser's Account.
(d) Transfers of Other Amounts to Purchaser's Account. On each Settlement
Date, the Collector is hereby authorized and directed by the Purchaser to
cause to be transferred (whether from the General account or otherwise) to the
Purchaser's Account the amount, if any, by which the sum of:
(1) the amount of the Collections received with respect to the Loan
Receivables due and payable in connection with the Related Secured

respect to the immediately preceding Settlement Period or any prior
Settlement Period;

or, with respect to the first Settlement Date, since the first
Closing Date; and
(4) any amount received by the Collector since the last Settlement Date
or, with respect to the first Settlement Date, since the first
Closing Date in payment of any other amount payable hereunder,
exceeds the sum of:
(5) the amount of the Purchase Discount transferred to any other account
of the Purchaser on the last day of the immediately preceding
Settlement Period pursuant to Section 2.5(c);
(6) any Xxxxxxxx which relate to any Defaulted Loan which were previously
deposited by the Collector to the Purchaser's Account and remain
unpaid by the applicable Obligor (to the extent such unpaid amounts
did not arise in connection with a deemed Collection pursuant to
Section 2.9);
(7) any amount collected by the Collector with respect to a previously
unpaid amount billed to the applicable Obligor as part of any
Xxxxxxxx which the Seller has already remitted to the Purchaser's
Account in respect of a previous Settlement Period as permitted under
Section 2.5(e); and
(8) any amount in respect of any asserted set-off, reduction or
cancellation by the Obligor received by the Collector from the Seller
or deposited by the Seller to the Purchaser's Account in accordance
with Section 2.9 for which the Obligor has been found, during the
immediately preceding Settlement Period, to be liable.
For greater certainty, in no event shall the Collector transfer amounts into
the Purchaser's Account more than once in respect of the same item of
Collections or be permitted to deduct more than once amounts in respect of any
items of set-off referred to above.
(e) Advances by Seller. The Seller shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to deposit to the Purchaser's Account, on any Settlement Date, by
way of a loan to the Purchaser, the amount, if any by which:

Settlement Period,

immediately preceding Settlement Period, and

entitled to be compensated by the Purchaser in respect of any matter
in respect of which the Purchaser is entitled to be indemnified by an
Indemnity Payment, and transfer to any other account designated by
the Purchaser the amount of the Indemnity Payments not payable to
such third parties;
(2) transfer to any other account designated by the Purchaser the amount

(4) transfer to any other account designated by the Purchaser:

occurred if the Lock-Up Event occurred as a result of the
inability of the Purchaser to make the transfers required by
Sections 2.5(c) or 2.5(f)(4)(A)) an amount equal to the

thereafter, an amount equal to the lesser of the Program Amount
and the remaining balance in the Purchaser's Account;

transferred.
(g) Shortfalls: Purchaser's Account. If the available balance in the
Purchaser's Account on any Settlement Date is less than the sum of the amounts
referred to in 2.5(f)(1) through 2.5(f)(4) above, the Seller hereby
irrevocably directs that, as a refund of a portion of the Deferred Purchase

Purchaser (which deposit shall be applied as a permanent reduction of
the Program Amount and as a refund of a portion of the Deferred
Purchase Price equal to the amount of such deposit) or invest in
Permitted Investments, in either case in an amount sufficient to make
the sum of the Net Book Value of the Purchased Assets (other than
Purchased Assets that are Defaulted Loans) and the principal amount
of, and accrued interest on, Permitted Investments, if any, as at
such date equal to the sum of the Program Amount and the Required
Reserve as at such date, provided that such Permitted Investments, if
any, shall be liquidated where not required with respect to any
subsequent Settlement Period and applied in the manner contemplated
by this Section 2.6;
(2) to ensure that there is held in the Deferred Purchase Account an
aggregate amount equal to the Required Deferred Amount, except that
on the second Settlement Date following the occurrence of a Lock-Up
Event as determined in accordance with Section 1.9 (or on the
Settlement Date on which the Lock-Up Event occurred, if the Lock-Up
Event resulted from the inability of the Purchaser to make the
transfers required by Section 2.5(c) and 2.5(f)(4)(A)), an amount
equal to the lesser of
(A) the amount set forth in Section 2.5(g)(3), less any amount paid

Discount Rate shall be equal to the sum of:
(1) the weighted average cost of funds to the Purchaser (expressed as a
percentage) for Purchaser's Indebtedness then outstanding in respect
of the Transaction for such Settlement Period (which cost of funds,
for greater certainty, shall be determined in accordance with the
relevant Terms Schedule or the Related Terms Schedules, as the case
may be, shall take into account payments or receipts from Hedging
Agreements entered into in respect of the Transaction and may take
into account any Increased Costs incurred by the Purchaser in respect
of the current Settlement Period or any previous Settlement Period to
the extent not already reflected in the Discount Rate for such
previous Settlement Period); and
(2) the percentage specified in the relevant Terms Schedule or the
Related Terms Schedules, as the case may be, as the "Program Fee".
(b) Purchaser's Indebtedness. The Purchaser shall provide the Seller with such
information regarding the Purchaser's Indebtedness as the Seller may
reasonably request to the extent that such information is available, in the
form of hard copy or in a form that may be produced from available databases
with existing software of the Purchaser.
2.8 Clean Up Repurchase. If on any Settlement Date, after giving effect to the
liquidation procedures in respect of any Transaction described in Sections 2.5
and on such date, the Program Amount is less than or equal to 10% of the
Aggregate Prepayment Amount, the Seller shall have the right, at its option
exercisable upon five Business Days' prior notice to the Purchaser through the
Financial Services Agent, to repurchase the remaining Purchased Assets which
are the subject of such Transaction from the Purchaser for a price equal to
the Program Amount on such Settlement Date, payable to the Financial Services
Agent on such Settlement Date for the account of the Purchaser. Upon any such
repurchase, the Purchaser shall reassign to the Seller without recourse,
representation or warranty all of such remaining Purchased Assets, and the
Program Amount shall thereupon be reduced to zero. The Seller hereby agrees to
pay, and to indemnify and hold harmless the Financial Services Agent and the
Purchaser from all losses, costs and expenses incurred in connection with or
arising from such clean up repurchase. The Purchaser shall pay to the Seller
any income received by it in connection with or arising from such clean up
repurchase in excess of the costs and expenses described in the preceding
sentence.
2.9 Deemed Collections.
(a) Reductions, Cancellations and Extensions. If on any day from a Closing
Date to the relevant Final Collection Date, any Loan Receivable forming part
of any Related Secured Loan Right is either:
(1) reduced or cancelled as a result of any breach or amendment by the
Seller of the terms of the applicable Secured Loan;
(2) reduced or cancelled as a result of a set-off in respect of any claim
by the applicable Obligor against the Seller (whether such claim
arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated
transaction); or
(3) extended beyond the original contractual maturity date of the
applicable Secured Loan contrary to either Section 6.2(b) and 6.2(c);
the Seller shall, for all purposes hereof, be conclusively deemed to have
received for the Purchaser's account on such day a Collection of such Loan
Receivable in the amount of such reduction or extension or the Principal
balance of the Loan Receivable in the case of a cancellation and shall, on or
before the second Settlement Date following the Settlement Period in which
such reduction, cancellation or extension occurred, remit such amount to the
Collector for deposit to the relevant Purchaser's Account.
(b) Repurchase on Breach of Warranty. If on any day before the Final
Collection Date, the representation and warranty with respect to any Purchased
Asset in Section 5.1(h)(1) as at the relevant Closing Date was not true, the
Seller shall pay to the Purchaser by deposit to the relevant Purchaser's
Account as a refund of a portion of the Deferred Purchase Price (or the
relevant Prepayment Amount to the extent that such deposit exceeds the
aggregate Deferred Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser as of such date) an
amount equal to the Net Book Value of the Purchased Asset on such day, and the
Purchaser shall assign and transfer to the Seller and the Seller shall accept
the assignment and transfer of such Purchased Asset. In consideration of such
assignment and transfer, the Purchaser shall waive any rights it may have
against the Seller or Chrysler Financial as a consequence of such
representation and warranty not being true.
(c) Effect of Deemed Collections. The parties acknowledge that the deemed
receipt of a Collection of all or part of a Loan Receivable relating to a
Related Secured Loan Right pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall not in any way
impair or otherwise affect any contractual or other right of the Seller or the
Purchaser as against the Obligor under the related Secured Loan or any other
Person (other than the Seller or the Purchaser), and no such Obligor or other
Person shall derive any benefit by virtue of such deemed receipt.
2.10 Reporting.
(a) Reports. On or before the tenth Business Day of each month, the Collector
shall, with the reasonable cooperation of the Seller if the Seller is not the
Collector, prepare and deliver to the Purchaser, separately in respect of each
Transaction:
(1) a Portfolio Report relating to the Loan Receivables in respect of the
Related Secured Loan Rights for the most recently completed
Settlement Period as of the close of business of the Collector on the
last Business Day of such Settlement Period; and
(2) if requested by the Financial Services Agent, a listing by Obligor of
the Net Book Value of the Purchased Assets as of the last Business
Day of such Settlement Period.
(b) Records. The Seller shall provide the Purchaser with such other Records
that are available in hard copy or that may be produced from available
databases with existing software of the Seller as the Purchaser may reasonably
request.
2.11 Payments and Computations.
(a) Remittances where Seller Not Collector. If Collections or Net Proceeds are
received by the Seller and the Seller is not the Collector, the Seller shall
remit them to the Collector on the second Business Day following the date on
which such Collections or Net Proceeds are received. Where such amounts are
received in the form of a cheque, the cheque shall be endorsed in favour of
the Collector and remitted to the Collector directly without prior deposit to
any account of the Seller. If any amounts which are not Collections or Net
Proceeds are received by the Collector and the Collector is not the Seller,
the Collector shall remit such amounts to the Seller on the second Business
Day following the date on which such amounts are received.
(b) Payments. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the
Collector to the Purchaser will be paid or deposited no later than 11:00 a.m.
(Toronto time) on the day when due in accordance with the terms hereof in same
day funds to the applicable account as required hereunder.
(c) Interest on Overdue Amounts. The Seller shall pay to the Purchaser
interest (both before and after default and judgment, with interest on overdue
interest at the same rate) on all amounts not paid or deposited when due
hereunder (whether owing by the Seller on its own behalf or in its capacity as
Collector) at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 1% per annum, payable on
demand. Such interest shall be paid by the Seller to the Collector for deposit
to the relevant Purchaser's Account on the next Settlement Date. The yearly
rate of interest for any day to which the Prime Rate is applicable is the rate
so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in that year and divided
by 365 or 366, as the case may be. Interest rate charges will be effective for
interest computation periods from the date on which the Prime Rate changes and
the Seller and the Purchaser will be bound by any and all changes of the Prime
Rate with or without notice thereof.
(d) No Deduction. The Seller shall, on its own behalf or in its capacity as
Collector, make all payments required to be made by it hereunder without
deduction (other than for applicable taxes or as otherwise authorized
hereunder), regardless of any defence or counterclaim (whether based on any
law, rule or policy now or hereafter issued or enacted by an government
authority or regulatory body), except as contemplated hereunder.
2.12 Further Action to Protect Purchased Assets. The Seller shall, from time
to time at its expense, promptly execute and deliver all instruments and
documents and take all action that the Purchaser may reasonably request in
order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchaser's ownership of
the Purchased Assets or to enable the Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of
its rights hereunder or thereunder.
2.13 Ineligible Secured Loans. If, on any day after a Closing Date, the
Purchaser, the Financial Services Agent or the Seller determines that, on the
relevant Cut-Off Date, any Secured Loan forming part of the Purchased Assets
was not an Eligible Secured Loan (an "Ineligible Secured Loan"), the
Purchaser, the Financial Services Agent or the Seller, as the case may be,
shall forthwith notify the other parties of such ineligibility and on the last
day of the Settlement Period following the Settlement Period in which such
notice is received or, where such determination is made following the
occurrence of a Significant Event or Lock-Up Event, on the second Business Day
following the date of receipt of such notice, the Seller shall pay to the
Collector for deposit to the relevant Purchaser's Account as a refund of a
portion of the Deferred Purchase Price an amount equal to the then Net Book
Value of such Ineligible Secured Loan such that the Purchaser shall be kept
whole and not incur any expense or loss as a result of the purchase of such
Ineligible Secured Loan. The Purchaser shall accept such payment as a refund
of a portion of the Deferred Purchase Price applicable to such Ineligible
Secured Loan. Upon such payment being made, the Purchaser shall assign and
transfer to the Seller and the Seller shall accept the assignment and transfer
of such Purchased Asset. In consideration of such payment, the Purchaser shall
waive any rights it may have against the Seller or Chrysler Financial as a
consequence of such Secured Loan being an Ineligible Secured Loan.
2.14 Retransfer of Purchased Assets. Upon any retransfer by the Purchaser to
the Seller of any Purchased Asset in accordance with Sections 2.8, 2.9(b) or
2.13, the Seller and the Purchaser shall execute and deliver such further
agreements, instruments or other assurances as may be reasonably necessary or
desirable to evidence and give full effect to such retransfers.
2.15 Permitted Investments. Subject to Section 2.6(a)(1), the balance
available in each Deferred Purchase Account shall be invested in Permitted
Investments by the Purchaser. If any General Account shall be established, the
balance available in such General Account shall be invested in such Permitted
Investments by the Collector as may be directed by the Purchaser. The
Purchaser shall maintain and direct the Collector to maintain a portion of the
aggregate balances in such accounts equal to the portion of the Purchaser's
Indebtedness due and payable on the next following Settlement Date in
Permitted Investments which mature no later than such Settlement Date. The
Purchaser shall, upon the request of the Seller, advise the Seller of the
Permitted Investments in which such balances are invested.
2.16 Allocation of Collections. Any amounts received by the Collector from an
Obligor not specifically allocated by the Obligor to any particular amount
owing by the Obligor shall be applied pro rata to Loan Receivables and other
amounts owing by the Obligor whether or not such Loan Receivables and other
amounts are included in the Related Secured Loan Rights applicable to the
Purchased Assets, provided that, if the Obligor shall specifically allocate
any subsequent amounts to Loan Receivables or other amounts already paid
pursuant to this Section 2.16 or if for any other reason the Collector
determines that amounts received should have been allocated otherwise than in
accordance with the foregoing, the Collector shall make such adjustments as
may be necessary or desirable to ensure that payments are not made more than
once for the same Loan Receivable.
SECTION 3 -- COLLECTION AND SERVICING OF SECURED LOANS
3.1 Designation of the Collector. The Related Secured Loan Rights shall be
administered, and the related Loan Receivables collected, by the Collector in
trust for the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 3. In respect of each
Transaction, the Seller is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform

Seller at any time after the occurrence of a Significant Event in respect of
one or more Transactions which Significant Event is continuing, terminate
immediately the role of the Seller with respect to the administration,
servicing and collection of the Purchased Assets, and thereupon the Purchaser
may appoint as the Collector in respect of such Transactions any Person with a
permanent establishment in Canada to succeed the Seller or any successor
Collector (each such Person, a "Successor Collector"), on the condition in
each case that any such Successor Collector shall agree to perform the duties
and obligations of the Collector pursuant to the terms hereof and agree to be
bound by the terms of this Agreement. Upon such termination and appointment,
the Seller shall comply with and the Purchaser shall have the benefit of
Section 7.2.
3.3 Appointment of Subcollector. The Collector, with the Purchaser's prior
written consent, may subcontract with any other Person for the administration
of the Related Secured Loan Rights and the collecting of the related Loan
Receivables; provided, however, that the Collector will remain liable for the
performance of the duties and obligations so subcontracted and all other
duties and obligations of the Collector pursuant to the terms hereof. The fees
and expenses of the subcollector shall be as agreed between the Collector and
its subcollector from time to time and the Purchaser shall not have any
responsibility therefor.
3.4 Duties of the Collector, etc.
(a) Duties and Powers. The Collector shall, unless the Purchaser directs
otherwise at any time when the Collector is not the Seller, take or cause to
be taken all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or advisable from
time to time to administer, service and collect the Loan Receivables forming
part of the Related Secured Loan Rights and dispose of the Related Collateral
upon termination of or default under the applicable Secured Loans, including
the repossession and sale of the Related Collateral in accordance with the
terms of the relevant Secured Loans, the Credit and Collection Policy and
applicable law. For such purpose, the Collector is authorized on behalf of the
Purchaser in respect of each Transaction to enforce the Purchaser's rights and
interests in and under the Related Secured Loan Rights, and the Purchaser
hereby grants to the Collector a power of attorney to commence and prosecute
legal action and other available remedies against the relevant Obligor to
enforce the Related Secured Loan Rights, such power to be revoked in respect
of any Transaction only upon replacement of the Collector in accordance with
the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collector (if the
Collector is not the Seller) shall obtain the prior written consent of the
Purchaser before commencing any legal action to enforce any Related Secured
Loan Rights and, where the Seller is not the Collector, such legal action
shall be commenced and maintained in the name of the Purchaser.
(b) Copies of Documents. Forthwith upon the Purchaser's request, the Seller,
if not the Collector in respect of any Transaction, shall deliver complete
copies of all documents evidencing and Records listing Purchased Assets which
are the subject of each Transaction (including any amendments thereto) to the
Purchaser, or as the Purchaser shall direct, for the Purchaser's sole use in
facilitating the collection of the applicable Loan Receivables.
(c) Operating Procedures. The Collector shall maintain and implement prudent
and reasonable administrative and operating procedures (including an ability
to recreate records evidencing the Related Secured Loan Rights) and keep and
maintain all books, records, documents and other information reasonably
necessary or advisable for the collection of all Loan Receivables forming part
of the Related Secured Loan Rights (including records adequate to permit all
collections of and reductions or adjustments to such Loan Receivables) all in
accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy or a modification hereof
adopted pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of a Transaction where the
Collector is not the Seller.
(d) Software. To the extent the Records consist in whole or in part of
computer programs which are leased by or licensed to the Seller, the Seller
shall, upon the demand of the Purchaser, use its best efforts to arrange for
the license or sublicense of such programs to the Purchaser to the extent
permitted by the terms of such lease or license for the sole use of the
Purchaser or its agent in facilitating the administration, servicing and
collection of the applicable Loan Receivables and provide to the Purchaser or
any Successor Collector access to all computer and related equipment and, in
connection therewith, permit any Successor Collector to use all operating
systems and other programs which are desirable or useful in order to enable
the Successor Collector to administer, service and collect the Purchased
Assets. To the extent that the terms of any lease or license prohibit or
restrict such use, the Seller shall, upon the demand of the Purchaser,
co-operate with and provide the Purchaser with all such access, information,
data and assistance, at the Seller's expense, as may be reasonably necessary
to enable the Purchase or its agent to administer, service and collect the
applicable Loan Receivables notwithstanding such prohibition or restriction.
(e) Default Interest. The Collector shall, with respect to any amount not paid
by the Collector when required to be paid hereunder, pay interest to the
Purchaser (before and after default and judgment, with interest on overdue
interest at the same rate) at a rate per annum, calculated daily, equal to the
Prime Rate plus 1%, payable on demand, provided that nothing in this Section
3.4(e) shall be construed to require the payment of interest on amounts for
which interest is paid pursuant to Section 2.11(c) above. Such interest will
be for the account of the Purchaser and shall be paid by the Collector free
and clear of, and without deduction for, any taxes of any kind whatsoever to
the relevant Purchaser's Account to be applied in accordance with Sections 2.5
and 2.6 on the next Settlement Date.
(f) Termination. The appointment of the Collector for the time being as agent
of the Purchaser in respect of each Transaction for the purposes set out
herein shall terminate upon the earlier of the appointment of a Successor
Collector under Section 3.2 and the relevant Final Collection Date.
(g) Marking of Records. The Collector shall xxxx its computer records in an
appropriate manner to clearly designate the Secured Loans forming part of the
Purchased Assets to be the property of the Purchaser.
(h) Termination of Secured Loans. For so long as the Seller is the Collector
in respect of any Transaction, the Seller may as agent for the Purchaser agree
with any Obligor under Purchased Assets which are the subject of such
Transaction to cancel or terminate the applicable Secured Loan before its
maturity, provided that the consideration payable by the Obligor to the
Collector as agent for the Purchaser with respect to such agreement to cancel
or terminate shall not be less than the then applicable Net Book Value of such
Purchased Asset and provided that the amount of such consideration is
deposited to the Purchaser's account as a deemed Collection in accordance with
Section 2.9(a).
3.5 Collector Fee. If the Collector is not the Seller in respect of any
Transaction, the Collector shall be paid, as a fee in respect of that

fee shall be payable in arrears on each Settlement Date.

respect of each Transaction, any of the following events or circumstances:
(a) the Seller or the Collector (if the Seller is the Collector) fails to
make any payment or deposit to be made by it hereunder when due and
such failure remains unremedied for two Business Days after written
notice thereof from the Purchaser;
(b) the Seller, the Collector (if the Seller is the Collector) or
Chrysler Financial fails to perform or observe any term, condition or
covenant to be performed or observed by it hereunder or under any
Related Document (other than that specified in Section 7.1(a)) and
such failure remains unremedied for ten Business Days after written
notice thereof has been given to the Seller or Chrysler Financial, as
the case may be, by the Purchaser (except with respect to any failure
on the part of the Seller or Chrysler Financial to perform its
obligations under Section 6.1(i)(1) or 6.3(c), as the case may be, in
which case no notice shall be required and no cure period shall
apply);

Chrysler Financial or any of their respective officers in or pursuant
to this Agreement, any Portfolio Report or any other Related Document

respect when made, provided that, if any such representation or
warranty that is capable of being subsequently made true and correct
is made true and correct within ten Business Days of the receipt of
written notice to the Seller or Chrysler Financial, as the case may
be, from the Purchaser of such false or incorrect representation or
warranty, it shall not constitute a Significant Event (for greater
certainty, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the
representations contained in Section 5.1(o) and 5.1(q) shall be
deemed remediable for the purposes of this Section by the repurchase
by the Seller of a sufficient dollar value of Purchased Assets under
which the relevant Person is the applicable Obligor);
(d) any Insolvency Event occurs;

condition or operations of the Seller or Chrysler Financial which

Related Secured Loan Rights or to perform any other of its

(g) the Portfolio Delinquency Ratio is at any time equal to or greater
than 4.0%;
(h) the long term debt rating of Chrysler Financial by Xxxxx'x falls

(i) an event of default as defined in any Hedging Agreement shall have
occurred and be continuing with respect to the Seller or Chrysler
Financial.
7.2 Action Upon a Significant Event.
(a) Rights of Purchaser. If any Significant Event in respect of any
Transaction has occurred and is continuing, the Purchaser shall have, in
addition to the right to terminate the role of the Seller as Collector and to
appoint a Successor Collector in respect of such Transaction pursuant to
Section 3.2 hereof, its rights under Section 10.5 hereof and its other rights
and remedies hereunder and under the Related Documents, all other rights and
remedies under any applicable law and otherwise, which rights and remedies
shall be cumulative. However, if a Significant Event has occurred only by
reason of the occurrence of one or more Portfolio Events, the Purchaser shall
(unless there occurs another event other than a Portfolio Event which with the
giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute a Significant
Event) not be entitled to exercise its right to appoint a Successor Collector
in accordance with Section 3.2 until 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Business
Day immediately following the Business Day upon which the Purchaser has given
notice to the Seller of the occurrence of the applicable Portfolio Event.
(b) Transitional Provisions. From time to time following the termination of
the Seller as Collector and the appointment by the Purchaser of a successor
Collector pursuant to Section 3.2:
(1) the Seller shall, at the Purchaser's request and at the Seller's
expense, notify all or any Obligors under the relevant Purchased
Assets of the Purchaser's ownership in any or all of the Related
Secured Loan Rights and direct that payments in respect thereof be
made directly to the Purchaser or its designee;
(2) the Seller shall, at the Purchaser's request and at the Seller's
expense, assemble all or any of the relevant Purchased Assets and
Records relating to, and the guarantees, indemnities and other
agreements forming part of, the Related Secured Loan Rights, and make
the same available to the Purchaser at a place selected by it or the
Successor Collector, and segregate, in a manner reasonably acceptable
to the Purchaser, all cash, cheques and other instruments
constituting Collections, Net Proceeds or Permitted Investments
received or held by the Seller from time to time, and, promptly upon
receipt, remit same to the Purchaser or the Successor Collector duly
endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer; and
(3) the Purchaser may take any and all steps, in the Seller's name and on
its behalf, necessary or desirable in the Purchaser's opinion, to
collect the relevant Loan Receivables forming part of the Related
Secured Loan Rights, including taking actions contemplated in Section
7.2(b)(2) where the Seller has failed to do so, and to remit the
proceeds of such Loan Receivables to the Successor Collector for
deposit in the relevant Purchaser's Account.
SECTION 8 -- MATTERS RELATING TO LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITIES
8.1 Delegation in Favour of Financial Services Agent. The Purchaser may
delegate to the Financial Services Agent all or any of its powers, rights and

own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement, other than the preceding sentence, or of any Related Document,
neither the Seller nor Chrysler Financial nor any Person acting on their
behalf shall have recourse against the Purchaser or the Financial Services
Agent, at law or in equity, in respect of any of the obligations of the
Purchaser or the Financial Services Agent under this Agreement or any Related
Document other than against the assets included in the Purchased Assets then
held by the Purchaser.
8.3 The Financial Services Agent and Affiliates. The Financial Services Agent,
any successor Financial Services Agent and their respective Affiliates may
generally engage in any kind of business with the Seller, Chrysler Financial,
any Obligor, any of their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do
business with or own securities of any of them, all as if the Financial
Services Agent or any such successor were not the Financial Services Agent and
without any duty to account therefor to the Seller, Chrysler Financial, the
Purchaser or any other Person.
8.4 Responsibilities of the Seller and the Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary:
(a) the Seller agrees to perform all of the non financial duties and
obligations of the obligee under the Purchased Assets notwithstanding
any of the transactions contemplated hereby;
(b) the exercise by the Purchaser or the Financial Services Agent of any
of their rights hereunder or under any Related Document will not
relieve the Seller from any of the duties or obligations that the
Seller has agreed to perform with respect to any Purchased Assets;
(c) neither the Purchaser nor the Financial Services Agent nor any of
their respective agents shall have any duty or obligation with
respect to any Related Secured Loan Rights nor shall any of them be

Secured Loans; and

threatened claim of which the Seller is aware which may, in the
reasonable opinion of the Seller, result in any liability to
indemnify the Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.

the Purchaser, the Financial Services Agent, any Successor Collector, and any
officer of the trustee of the Purchaser or any officer of the Financial
Services Agent from time to time, with full power of substitution, as the
Seller's true and lawful attorney in fact with full irrevocable power and
authority, coupled with an interest, in the place and stead of the Seller and
in the name of the Seller or in its own name, from time to time in the
Purchaser's, the Financial Services Agent's or the Successor Collector's
discretion, as the case may be, for the purpose of enforcing the Related
Secured Loan Rights and taking and doing in the name of the Seller and/or in
its own name all steps, actions, proceedings and other things which the
Purchaser, the Financial Services Agent or any Successor Collector may from
time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, consider to be necessary,
desirable or appropriate for the administration, servicing and collection of
the Purchased Assets including, without limitation, to transfer or otherwise
dispose of any or all Purchased Assets, to endorse or sign the name of the
Seller on any instrument or document representing payment on account of or in
any other way relating to any Purchased Asset and to take any legal steps,
actions or proceedings for the collection and enforcement of any Purchased
Assets or for the enforcement or realization of any Related Security.
SECTION 9 -- INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Indemnities by the Seller. Without prejudice to any other rights of the
Purchaser or the Financial Services Agent or their respective agents hereunder

SECTION 10 -- MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Amendments, etc.
(a) General. No amendment or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any
departure by the Seller or Chrysler Financial therefrom shall in any event be
effective (in whole or in part) unless in writing and signed by the Seller,
the Collector, Chrysler Financial, the Purchaser and, to the extent it affects
the rights, duties or obligations of the Financial Services Agent, the
Financial Services Agent.
(b) Third Party Consents. The Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser's consent
to any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement or
certain provisions thereof (each, a "Proposed Contractual Change") may be
subject to obtaining the prior written consent of lenders under Credit Support
Agreements and Liquidity Agreements and/or the Indenture Trustee (each, a
"Third-Party Consent"). The Purchaser agrees to advise the Seller if a
Proposed Contractual Change requires a Third-Party Consent; however, the
Purchaser shall have no obligation to obtain or endeavour to obtain such
Third-Party Consent. In addition, the Purchaser's failure to give its consent
to any Proposed Contractual Change shall not be considered unreasonable,
within the meaning of any rule of law imposing on a contracting party an
implied obligation to act reasonably, if a Third-Party Consent has not been
given to a Proposed Contractual Change.
10.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between
the parties relative to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all contrary
prior and contemporaneous agreements, term sheets, commitments,
understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written. There
are no warranties, express or implied, representations or other agreements
between the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof except as
specifically set forth herein.
10.3 Notices, etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder
must, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing and telecopied or
delivered, as to each party hereto, at its address set forth under its name on
the signature pages hereof, or at such other address designated by such party

the other parties hereto. Any such notice or other communication shall be
deemed to have been given, made and received on the day of delivery if
delivered and on the first Business Day after telecopying if telecopied.
10.4 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Purchaser, the
Financial Services Agent or the Seller to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor will
any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Except as
otherwise provided, the remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
10.5 Binding Effect; Assignability;
(a) General. This Agreement shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of
the Seller, Chrysler Financial, the Purchaser and the Financial Services
Agent, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as
provided in this Agreement, no party hereto may assign its rights hereunder or
any interest herein without the prior written consent of the other parties
hereto.
(b) Sales etc. by Purchaser. The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge that the
Seller has entered into this Agreement and will enter into each Transaction on
the assumption that the only source of payment to the Seller for the portion
of the Deferred Purchase Price described in Section 1.1(aa)(2) will be the
Collections and Net Proceeds payable to the Purchaser as owner of the Secured
Loans and Related Secured Loan Rights and that if the Purchaser should assign
the Purchased Assets to a Person not bound by this Agreement, such source of
payment may be impaired and the interests of the Seller thereby prejudiced.
Accordingly, without in any way derogating from the Purchaser's absolute
ownership of the Purchased Assets, the Purchaser shall not sell, assign or
transfer any Purchased Assets or Seller Receivable (in whole or in part) to
any Person (including secondary purchasers, issuers of letters of credit to
the Purchaser, and their assignees) (each such Person, a "Transferee") or
sell, assign or transfer to a Transferee any of the Purchaser's rights
hereunder or under any Related Document or interest herein or therein for the
purpose of giving effect to any such sale, assignment or transfer of Purchased
Assets or Seller Receivables unless the Transferee agrees in writing before
the completion of such sale, assignment or transfer to be bound by the terms
and conditions of this Agreement as if it were the Purchaser hereunder to the
extent of the Purchased Assets, Seller Receivables or other rights to be sold,
assigned or transferred. Upon any sale, assignment or transfer, the Transferee
shall be fully subrogated to all rights, benefits and privileges of the
Purchaser hereunder or thereunder and shall assume all obligations relating
thereto.
10.6 Termination and Survival. This Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect until the last Final Collection Date; provided, however, that:
(a) the Purchaser's rights and remedies with respect to any incorrect
representation or warranty made or deemed to be made by the Seller or
Chrysler Financial herein; and
(b) the indemnification and payment provisions of Section 9 and
Section 10.10;
shall be continuing and shall survive any termination hereof for a period of
five years.
10.7 Performance by Financial Services Agent. The Purchaser has advised the
Seller that the Purchaser has appointed Royal Bank of Canada as the Financial
Services Agent to advise and act on the Purchaser's behalf in connection with
this Agreement, and the Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Financial
Services Agent will have full power and authority to represent and act for and
on behalf of the Purchaser in all dealings and other matters provided for in
or relating to this Agreement unless otherwise specifically provided.
Performance of any act or obligation of the Purchaser hereunder by the
Financial Services Agent will be deemed to be performance of such act or
obligation by the Purchaser. The Seller shall be entitled to rely on any
document prepared by the Financial Services Agent on behalf of the Purchaser
as if the document had been prepared by the Purchaser.
10.8 Payments by Seller.
(a) Method of Payment. Each payment or remittance required to be made by the
Seller or the Collector to the Purchaser hereunder shall be made on the due
date therefor in Canadian Dollars and in immediately available funds at the
office of the Financial Services Agent.
(b) Interest on Overdue Payments. Each of the Seller and the Collector shall
pay to the Purchaser interest on any amount not paid or remitted by the Seller
to the Purchaser when due hereunder. Such interest shall be computed on a
daily basis at a rate per annum equal to 2% above the Prime Rate in effect
from time to time, shall be payable upon demand by the Purchaser from time to
time, and shall be compounded on the first Business Day of each month.
10.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the Province of Ontario, except to the extent
that the validity or perfection of the Purchaser's interests in any Related
Secured Loan Rights or Related Collateral or its remedies hereunder in respect
thereof are governed by the laws of a different jurisdiction.
10.10 Costs, Expenses and Taxes.
(a) Fees and Expenses. Notwithstanding the rights of indemnification provided
for in Section 9 and 10.10(b), the Seller shall not be responsible for payment
of any costs and expenses of the Purchaser and the Financial Services Agent in
connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the Related Documents, or any of their out of pocket expenses, or of any fees
or disbursements of counsel for the Purchaser and the Financial Services Agent
with respect thereto.
(b) Taxes, etc. The Seller shall:
(1) pay on demand any and all stamp, filing, recording and other taxes

demand the Purchaser for any loss resulting from a miscalculation by
the Purchaser in the administration of the Agreement and the Related
Documents; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall request such
reimbursement in writing and will explain, in reasonable detail, such
miscalculation; and, provided, further, however, that the amount of
such reimbursement shall not exceed the amount which should initially
have been paid to the Purchaser but for such miscalculation, plus
interest at the applicable Discount Rate;
(3) subject to Section 10.10(a), pay on demand any other costs, expenses
and taxes (excluding any taxes except amounts referred to in Section
10.10(b)(1)), incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the
Purchase (including costs and expenses incurred in performing the
Purchaser's obligations hereunder); provided, however, that the
Purchaser will request such amounts in writing and will explain, in
reasonable detail, the calculation of such amounts; and
(4) subject to Section 10.10(a), pay on demand any costs and expenses of
the Purchaser and the Financial Services Agent with respect to
advising the Purchaser and the Financial Services Agent as to their
respective rights and remedies hereunder and under the Related
Documents or any costs related to enforcement actions by the
Purchaser against any Obligor related to enforcement or advice with
respect to the Purchaser's rights against such Obligor.
10.11 Change in Law. If the introduction of or any change (including, without
limitation, any change by way of imposition of a tax on capital or other tax
on or in respect of the Purchaser) in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation by any court or governmental authority charged with the
administration thereof has the effect of
(a) increasing the cost to the Purchaser of making, funding or
maintaining a Purchase hereunder or agreeing to make a Purchase
hereunder, or reducing the rate of return to the Purchaser in
connection therewith; or
(b) reducing the amount receivable with regard to any Loan Receivable
forming part of the Related Secured Loan Rights;
the Seller shall, from time to time, upon demand by the Purchaser and to the
extent not otherwise recovered pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(3), pay to the
Purchaser that portion of such increased costs incurred, amounts not received
or receivable, or compensation for such reduction in rate of return which is
attributable to making, funding or maintaining such Purchase hereunder. The
Purchaser shall provide the Seller with a certificate setting forth its
computation of such increased costs, amounts not received or receivable or
reduction in rate of return, which computation may utilize such averaging and
attribution methods the Purchaser believes to be reasonable. Such certificate
shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the amount payable to
the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 10.11. The Purchaser shall, upon
becoming aware of an event or circumstance that is likely to, with the passage
of time or otherwise, entitle it to demand payment pursuant to this Section
10.11, promptly notify the Seller.

Collector) or Chrysler Financial fails to perform any of its agreements or
obligations hereunder or under any Related Document, the Purchaser may (but
will not be required to) itself perform, or cause to be performed, such
agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Purchaser incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller as provided in Section
10.10(b)(3).

(a) Submission to Jurisdiction. The Seller hereby irrevocably submits to the
non exclusive jurisdiction of any court sitting in the City of Toronto in any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or to any
Related Document, and the Seller hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in
respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such
court. The Seller hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by law,
the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding. The Seller agrees that a final judgment in any action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(b) Other Jurisdictions. Nothing in this Section 10.13 shall affect the right
of the Purchaser to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law
or affect its right to bring any action or proceeding against the Seller or
Chrysler Financial or their respective properties in the courts of other
jurisdictions.
(c) Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that the Seller has or hereafter may
acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process
(whether through service or notice, attachment before judgment, attachment in
aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its
property, the Seller hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by
law, such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder.

TO: THOSE PERSONS LISTED ON SCHEDULE A ATTACHED HERETO
Dear Sirs:
Re: Master Receivables Purchase Agreement made as of
July 24, 1995 among Chrysler Credit Canada Ltd.,
Pure Trust and Chrysler Financial Corporation;
Terms Schedule dated July 24, 1995
_____________________________________________________
We have acted as counsel to Chrysler Credit Canada Ltd. (the "Seller") and
Chrysler Financial Corporation ("Chrysler Financial") in connection with the
preparation, execution and delivery of the master receivables purchase
agreement made as of July 24, 1995 (the "Purchase Agreement") among the
Seller, Pure Trust (the "Purchaser") and Chrysler Financial, the terms
schedule dated July 24, 1995 (the "Terms Schedule") made among the same
parties and the assignment dated July 27, 1995 (the "Assignment") between the
Seller and the Purchaser (the Purchase Agreement, the Terms Schedule and the
Assignment being collectively referred to as the "Documents"). This opinion is
furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(15) of the Purchase Agreement.
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings given them in the Purchase Agreement and the Terms Schedule.
We have examined originals or copies identified to our satisfaction of
such records, instruments, certificates and other documents as we have deemed
necessary for the purposes of the opinions expressed herein. In such
examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity
to the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic
copies. We have also considered such questions of law as we have deemed
relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.
As to questions of fact material to the opinions expressed herein, we have
relied upon a certificate (the "Officer's Certificate") of a Responsible
Officer of Chrysler Credit dated the date hereof, a copy of which is annexed
hereto. While we have not independently confirmed the factual matters referred
to in the Officer's Certificate, the lawyers of this firm directly involved in
the preparation and negotiation of the Documents, the transactions
contemplated thereby and this opinion (the "Primary Lawyer Group") are not
aware of any facts which would give them reason to believe that any of the
factual matters referred to therein are incorrect.
The opinions expressed herein are subject to the following qualifications
and assumptions:
(a) the enforcement of the Documents or any judgment arising out of or in
connection therewith, may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
winding-up, reorganization, moratorium or other laws (including the
Personal Property Security Act (Ontario)) affecting creditors' rights
generally;
(b) the enforcement of the Documents may be limited by general principles
of equity, and no opinion is given as to any specific remedy that may
be granted, imposed or rendered (including equitable remedies such as
specific performance and injunction);
(c) the Currency Act (Canada) precludes a court in Canada from awarding a
judgment for an amount expressed in any currency other than Canadian
dollars;
(d) (A) the ability to recover or claim for costs or expenses; and (B)
any provision in the Purchase Agreement purporting to sever from the
Purchase Agreement any provision which is prohibited or unenforceable
under applicable law, are subject to judicial discretion;
(e) any requirement to pay interest at a greater rate after than before
default may not be enforceable if the same is construed by a court to
constitute a penalty;
(f) the enforceability as against the relevant Obligors of the sale of
the Related Secured Loan Rights to the Purchaser pursuant to the
Documents is subject to the requirements of section 53 of the
Conveyancing and Law of Property Act (Ontario), providing that the
assignment effected thereby shall not be effectual in law until
notice in writing thereof has been given to the applicable Obligors;
(g) each of the Purchaser and Chrysler Financial has duly authorized,
executed and delivered the Documents to which they are a party, and
the Documents constitute valid and binding obligations enforceable
against the Purchaser in accordance with their terms; and
(h) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of section 3.2 of the
Purchase Agreement (i) as it relates to the right of the Purchaser to
replace the Seller as Collector solely by reason that the Seller is
insolvent or that a notice of intention or a proposal has been filed
in respect of the Seller pursuant to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency
Act, and (ii) in the face of any applicable order made by a court of
competent jurisdiction pursuant to the Companies' Creditors
Arrangement Act.
We are qualified to practice law in the Province of Ontario and
accordingly do not express any opinion with respect to laws other than those
of such Province and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
1. The Seller is a corporation existing under the laws of Canada and has full
corporate power and authority to enter into the Documents and to perform its
obligations thereunder.
2. The Documents and any Related Documents (a) to which the Seller is a party
have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller and constitute
valid and binding obligations of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in
accordance with their respective terms; and (b) to which Chrysler Financial is
a party (other than Hedging Agreements) constitute valid and binding
obligations of Chrysler Financial enforceable against Chrysler Financial in
accordance with their respective terms.
3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of the Documents will
not (i) contravene or constitute a default under the articles or by-laws of
the Seller, (ii) contravene any law or regulation of the Province of Ontario
or any law or regulation of Canada applicable therein, or (iii) contravene or
constitute a default under any material agreement to which the Seller is a
party of which the Primary Lawyer Group is aware.
4. No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing
with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or other person is
required to be obtained or made by the Seller for the due execution, delivery
and performance by the Seller of the Documents, except for such authorizations
or approvals that have already been obtained and such notices or filings that
have already been given.
5. No transaction contemplated by any of the Documents requires compliance
with any bulk sales or similar legislation requiring public notice or
recording of a transfer of assets of the Seller in the Province of Ontario.
This opinion may be relied upon by the addressees hereof only in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Documents but except to
that extent, this opinion may not be used or relied upon by said addressees or
any other person for any purpose whatsoever without in each instance our prior
written consent.

Dear Sirs:
Re: Pure Trust purchase from Chrysler Credit Canada Ltd.
We have acted as counsel to The Royal Trust Company ("Royal Trust")
in its capacity as trustee of Pure Trust (in such capacity, the "Issuer
Trustee"), a trust established under the laws of the Province of Ontario, in
connection with (i) the establishment of the program of Pure Trust to issue
and sell from time to time secured short-term promissory notes and to purchase
receivables and related assets with the proceeds of such issue and sale (the
"Program") and (ii) the purchase of certain receivables under the Program by
the Issuer Trustee (in such capacity, the "Purchaser") from Chrysler Credit
Canada Ltd. (the "Seller") under a master receivables purchase agreement made
as of July 24, 1995 (the "Master Agreement") between the Purchaser, the Seller
and Chrysler Financial Corporation ("Chrysler Financial"). Capitalized terms
used in this letter and not otherwise defined have the meanings given to them
in the Master Agreement.
Scope of Investigations
We have examined executed originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such public and other records, certificates
and documents as we have considered necessary or appropriate to give this
opinion including:
(a) the declaration of trust dated December 16, 1994 made by the Issuer
Trustee establishing Pure Trust (the "Declaration of Trust");
(b) a certificate (the "Royal Trust Certificate") of an officer of Royal
Trust dated ______, with respect to:
(i) the constating documents and by-laws of Royal Trust;
(ii) the incumbency of signing officers of Royal Trust and
specimen signatures;
(iii) administrative resolutions of Royal Trust; and
(iv) certain factual matters;
(c) the Master Agreement;
(d) the terms schedule dated ______, (the "Terms Schedule") between the
Seller, Chrysler Financial and the Purchaser relating to the
Purchased Assets described therein; and
(e) the assignment dated ______ (the "Assignment") between the Seller and
the Purchaser relating to the Purchased Assets described therein.
The Master Agreement, the Terms Schedule and the Assignment are
collectively referred to as the "Documents". For greater certainty, where any
reference is made in this opinion to an act to be performed by or for or on
behalf of Pure Trust or the Purchaser, such reference shall be construed and
applied for all purposes as if it referred to an act to be performed by the
Issuer Trustee for and on behalf of and in its capacity as trustee of Pure
Trust, and, where any reference is made in this opinion to an act to be
performed by or for or on behalf of the Issuer Trustee, such reference shall
be construed and applied for all purposes as if it referred to an act to be
performed by or for or on behalf of the Issuer Trustee in its capacity as
trustee of Pure Trust.
Assumptions
We have assumed:
(a) the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original
documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or
photostatic copies or facsimiles thereof;
(b) the accuracy, currency, truth and completeness of the indices and
filing systems and other public records maintained by public offices
where we searched or enquired or have caused searches or enquiries to
be made and of the information and advice provided to us by
appropriate governmental, regulatory or other like authorities with
respect to those matters referred to herein; and
(c) that the Documents will, when duly authorized, executed and delivered
by the parties thereto other than the Issuer Trustee, constitute
legal, valid and binding obligations of such other parties
enforceable against them in accordance with their terms.
For the purpose of the opinions set out in paragraphs 1 and 2, we
have relied solely on a Certificate of Confirmation dated July 24, 1995 issued
by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions and a
Certificate of Registration dated July 24, 1995 issued by the Loan and Trust
Corporations Branch. To the extent that the opinions expressed in paragraphs 1
and 2 below relate to matters governed by laws other than the laws of the
Province of Ontario or the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, we have
relied solely upon opinions dated the date hereof of local counsel in each
applicable jurisdiction as to the laws of each such jurisdiction, copies of
which have also been addressed to you and delivered to you. Except insofar as
we have relied on such opinions of local counsel (each a "Local Opinion"), the
opinions herein are based on the laws of the Province of Ontario and the
federal laws of Canada applicable therein ("Ontario Law"), in each case as in
effect as of the date hereof. To the extent that any Local Opinion is stated
to be based on any assumption, to be subject to any qualification or to be
given in reliance on any other document, the opinions expressed herein in
reliance on such Local Opinion are based upon the same assumption, subject to
the same qualification and given in reliance on the same document. The
Provinces of Canada are referred to herein as the "Applicable Jurisdictions".
Qualifications
This opinion is subject to the following qualifications:
(a) our opinion in paragraph 7 as to the enforceability of the Documents
may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization,
winding-up, insolvency, moratorium and other laws of general
application limiting the enforcement of creditors' rights, (ii) the
fact that the granting of equitable remedies such as specific
performance and injunctions is within the discretion of a court of
competent jurisdiction and (iii) general principles of equity;
(b) a court may require the discretionary powers expressed to be
conferred on any party to a Document to be exercised reasonably and
in good faith notwithstanding any provision to the contrary and may
decline to accept as conclusive factual or legal determinations
described as conclusive therein;
(c) the effectiveness of terms exculpating a party from a liability
or duty otherwise owed by it to another may be limited by law;
(d) the awarding of costs is in the discretion of a court of competent
jurisdiction;
(e) any opinion or statement with respect to the existence or absence of
facts "to the best of our knowledge" means actual knowledge of those
lawyers of our firm involved with the preparation of the Documents
without any independent investigation or inquiry;
(f) any provision in any Document which purports to sever from the
Document any provision therein which is prohibited or unenforceable
under applicable law without affecting the validity of the remainder
of the Document would be enforced only to the extent that the court
determined that such prohibited or unenforceable provision could be
severed without impairing the interpretation and application of the
remainder of the Document;
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. Status of Royal Trust. Royal Trust is a corporation duly
incorporated and organized under the laws of Canada and is authorized to carry
on the business of a trust company as defined in the Trust and Loan Companies
Act (Canada) in each of the Applicable Jurisdictions.
2. Registrations, etc. of Royal Trust. All registrations, filings and
notices necessary to permit Royal Trust to carry on business as a trustee in
each of the Applicable Jurisdictions have been duly made or given.
3. Trust Business. The obligation of Royal Trust to carry out the
activities of Pure Trust as set out under the Declaration of Trust and the
Documents constitutes the business of a trustee.
4. Status of Pure Trust. Pure Trust has been duly established as a
trust under the Declaration of Trust and is a valid and subsisting trust under
Ontario Law.
5. Power and Capacity of Issuer Trustee. The Issuer Trustee has the
power and capacity under the Declaration of Trust to hold title to the
property and assets of Pure Trust, to carry on the activities of Pure Trust in
accordance with the Declaration of Trust and to execute and deliver the
Documents to which Pure Trust is a party and to perform its obligations under
such Documents.
6. Necessary Action by Issuer Trustee. All necessary action has been
taken by the Issuer Trustee to authorize the execution and delivery of the
Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations under
such documents.
7. Authorization, Execution, Delivery and Enforceability. The Issuer
Trustee has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Documents for and on
behalf of Pure Trust. Each of the Documents constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of Pure Trust enforceable against Pure Trust in accordance
with its terms.
8. Contravention, Authorization, Consents, Filings. The execution and
delivery by the Issuer Trustee on behalf of Pure Trust of (i) each of the
Documents and the performance by the Issuer Trustee of its obligations
thereunder:
(a) will not violate, result in the breach of, or constitute a default
under, (1) any provision of applicable laws or regulations, (2) any
of the terms, conditions or provisions of the constating documents or
by-laws of the Issuer Trustee, (3) the Declaration of Trust, (4) to
the best of our knowledge, any agreement, instrument or document to
which the Issuer Trustee is a party or by which it or any of Pure
Trust's properties or assets are bound, or (5) to the best of our
knowledge, any order, judgement or decree of any court arbitrator or
similar tribunal or governmental authority which is binding upon the
Issuer Trustee or any of Pure Trust's properties or assets; or
(b) will not require (1) any authorization, consent or approval or order
of or filing or registration with any court, administrative agency or
other governmental or regulatory body or authority in any of the
Applicable Jurisdictions or under the federal laws of Canada
applicable therein other than such authorizations, consents or
approvals, orders, filing or registrations as have already been
obtained or made, or (2) to the best of our knowledge, any consent or
approval of any person under any agreement, instrument or document to
which the Issuer Trustee is a party or by which it or any of Pure
Trust's properties or assets are bound.
This opinion is rendered solely for your benefit in connection with
the transactions referred to herein and may not be relied upon for any other
purpose, nor may it be delivered to or relied upon by any other person, firm
or corporation without our prior written consent.
