(xx) No Liens. The Seller had no knowledge of any Liens or claims that have been filed, including liens for work, labor, materials or unpaid taxes relating to a Financed Vehicle, that would be liens prior to, or equal with, the lien granted by the Receivable;

(xxi) No Default. Except for payment defaults continuing for a period of not more than 30 days as of the close of business on the Cutoff Date, the Seller had no knowledge that a default, breach, violation, or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable existed; the Seller had no knowledge that a continuing condition that with notice or lapse of time would constitute a default, breach, violation, or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable existed; and the Seller had not waived any of the foregoing;

(xxii) Insurance. Each Receivable requires that the Obligor thereunder maintain comprehensive, liability, theft and physical damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle;

(xxiii) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer, and assignment of such Receivable under this Agreement or pursuant to transfers of the Certificates or the Notes is unlawful, void or voidable;

(xxiv) All Filings Made. No filings (other than filings under the Relevant UCC which have been made) or other actions are necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Issuer a first perfected security interest in the Receivables;

(xxv) Chattel Paper. Each Receivable constitutes “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of the Relevant UCC. There is no more than one original executed copy of each Receivable, which immediately prior to delivery thereof to the Servicer (as custodian) for the Issuer, was in the possession of the Seller;

(xxvi) Excluded Loans. Each Receivable is not a Receivable originated by or through a Dealer located in the State of Alabama, Maine or Maryland; and

(xxvii) No Debt Cancellation Policy. Other than a Receivable originated by or through a Dealer located in the State of New York, no Receivable is subject to a Debt Cancellation Policy.

SECTION 3.2 Repurchase Upon Breach or Failure of a Condition. The Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties in writing, upon the discovery by the Seller, the Servicer or an Authorized Officer of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, of either any breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(a) or the failure of any Receivable to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1(b) which materially and adversely affects the Holders’ interest in any Receivable. Unless the breach or failed condition shall have been cured by the last day of the Collection Period following the Collection Period in which such discovery occurred (or, at the Seller’s option, the last day of the Collection Period in which such discovery occurred), the Seller shall repurchase any Receivable the Holders’ interest in which was materially and adversely affected by the breach or failed condition, as of such last day. In consideration of the repurchase of a Receivable, the Seller shall remit the Repurchase Amount of such Receivable as of such last day (less any Liquidation Proceeds deposited, or to be deposited, by the Servicer in the Collection Account with respect to such Receivable pursuant to Section 4.3)

in the manner specified in Section 5.4. The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Holders with respect either to a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(a) or to a failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1(b) shall be to require the Seller to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 3.2. The obligation of the Seller to repurchase under this Section 3.2 shall not be dependent upon the actual knowledge of the Seller of any breached representation or warranty and shall exist without regard to any limitation set forth in any representation or warranty concerning the knowledge of the Seller as to the facts stated therein. The Owner Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 3.2 or the eligibility of any Receivable for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.3 Custody of Receivable Files. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuer, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, agrees to have the Servicer act as custodian of the following copies, documents or instruments (the “Receivable Files”) which are hereby constructively delivered to the Issuer with respect to each Receivable:

(i) The original executed copy of each Receivable; and

(ii) Any and all other documents or records that the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle.

The Servicer hereby agrees to act as custodian and as agent for the Issuer hereunder. The Servicer acknowledges that it holds the documents and instruments relating to the Receivables for the benefit of the Issuer. The Issuer shall have no responsibility to monitor the Servicer’s performance as custodian and shall have no liability in connection with the Servicer’s performance of such duties hereunder.

SECTION 3.4 Duties of Servicer as Custodian.

(a) Safekeeping. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold the Receivable Files on behalf of the Issuer, and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records (either original execution documents or copies of such originally executed documents shall be sufficient) and computer systems pertaining to the Receivables as shall enable the Issuer to comply with its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to the receivable files of comparable new or used automobile receivables that the Servicer services for itself. The Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic audits of the files of all receivables owned or serviced by the Servicer which shall include the Receivable Files held by it under this Agreement and the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee to identify all Receivable Files and such related accounts, records and computer systems and to verify, if the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee so elects, the accuracy of the Servicer’s recordkeeping. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and maintain

its accounts, records, and computer systems as herein provided, and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.

(b) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer shall maintain each Receivable File at one of the locations specified in Schedule B to this Agreement, or at such other location as shall be specified to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by 30 days’ prior written notice. The Servicer shall make available to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or their respective duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors, the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times during normal operating hours as the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee shall reasonably instruct which do not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations or customer or employee relations.

(c) Release of Documents. Upon instruction from the Indenture Trustee (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, from the Owner Trustee), the Servicer shall release any document in the Receivable Files to the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, or their respective agents or designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as such Person may reasonably designate as soon as reasonably practicable to the extent it does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations or customer or employee relations. The Servicer shall not be responsible for any loss occasioned by the failure of the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee, or their respective agents or designees, to return any document or any delay in doing so.

(d) Title to Receivables. The Servicer agrees that, in respect of any Receivable held by it as custodian hereunder, (i) the Servicer will not at any time have or in any way attempt to assert any interest in such Receivable or the related Receivable File, other than solely for the purpose of collecting or enforcing the Receivable for the benefit of the Issuer and (ii) the related Receivable File shall at all times be property of the Issuer.

SECTION 3.5 Instructions; Authority to Act. The Servicer shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by an Authorized Officer of the Indenture Trustee (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, of the Owner Trustee). A certified copy of a by-law or of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of any such Authorized Officer to act and shall be considered in full force and effect until receipt by the Servicer of written notice to the contrary given by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be.

SECTION 3.6 Custodian’s Indemnification. The Servicer, as custodian, shall indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments, costs, or expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee as the result of any act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer, as custodian, of the Receivable Files; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 3.7 Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer’s appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Cutoff Date and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section 3.7 or until this Agreement shall be terminated. If the Servicer shall resign as Servicer under Section 7.5 or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer shall have been terminated under Section 8.1, the appointment of the Servicer as custodian may be terminated by the Indenture Trustee or by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes (or, if there are no Notes outstanding, the Holders of Certificates representing not less than a majority of the Certificate Balance), in the same manner as the Indenture Trustee or such Holders may terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under Section 8.1. As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer shall, at its expense, deliver the Receivable Files to the Issuer or the Issuer’s agent at such place or places as the Issuer may reasonably designate. Notwithstanding the termination of the Servicer as custodian, the Owner Trustee agrees that upon any such termination, the Issuer shall provide, or cause its agent to provide, access to the Receivable Files to the Servicer for the purpose of carrying out its duties and responsibilities with respect to the servicing of the Receivables hereunder.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

SECTION 4.1 Duties of Servicer. The Servicer is hereby authorized to act as agent for the Issuer and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables (other than Repurchased Receivables) with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to comparable new or used automobile receivables that it services for itself. The Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries by Obligors or by federal, state, or local governmental authorities with respect to the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, reporting tax information to Obligors in accordance with its customary practices, advancing costs of

disposition of defaults, monitoring Receivables in cases of Obligor defaults, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions. The Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies, and procedures in performing its duties as Servicer hereunder; provided that the Servicer shall be permitted to take or to refrain from taking any action not specified in this Agreement with respect to servicing the Receivables if such action or inaction would not contravene any material term of this Agreement or materially and adversely affect the interests of Holders and is not outside customary or normal servicing procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall be authorized and empowered by the Issuer to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders, 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, without recourse to the Issuer, with respect to the Receivables or with respect to the Financed Vehicles. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable, the Issuer shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such Receivable and the related property conveyed to the Issuer with respect to such Receivable to the Servicer, solely for the purpose of collection. The Owner Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with such documents as have been prepared by the Servicer for execution by the Owner Trustee and as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

SECTION 4.2 Collection of Receivable Payments; Refinancing.

(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables and of this Agreement as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to comparable new or used automobile receivables that it services for itself and that are consistent with prudent industry standards. In connection therewith, the Servicer may grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a Receivable without the consent of the Issuer; provided, however, that if the Servicer extends the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the Final Scheduled Maturity Date, it shall promptly repurchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 4.6. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any Late Fees that may be due in the ordinary course of collecting a Receivable; provided, further, that the Servicer shall not agree to any change in the underlying Contract Rate on any Receivable, to any change in the Principal Balance thereof (except with respect to a prepayment of a scheduled payment that does not result in a deferral of any other scheduled payment), to any reduction of the total number of payments due thereunder or, subject to the foregoing, to any reduction of the amount of any scheduled payment on a Receivable. In the event that at the end of the scheduled term of any Receivable, the outstanding principal amount thereof is such that the final payment to be made by the related Obligor is larger than the regularly scheduled payment of principal and interest made by such Obligor, the Servicer may permit such Obligor to pay such remaining principal amount in more than one payment of principal and interest; provided, however, that the last such payment shall be due on or prior to the Final Scheduled Maturity Date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may refinance any Receivable by accepting a new promissory note from the related Obligor and applying the proceeds of such refinancing to pay all obligations in full of such Obligor under such Receivable. The receivable created by the refinancing shall not be property of the Issuer.

SECTION 4.3 Realization Upon Receivables. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise take possession of the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable during the calendar month in which more than 10% of any scheduled payment thereunder becomes 90 days delinquent; provided, however that the Servicer may repossess or otherwise take possession of the Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable (i) earlier if (A) such Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable, (B) the Servicer determines that such Financed Vehicle is in danger of being damaged, destroyed or otherwise made unavailable for repossession or (C) the related Obligor voluntarily surrenders such Financed Vehicle or (ii) later if (A) the Servicer is unable to locate such Financed Vehicle, (B) the related Obligor is the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding or (C) the Servicer otherwise defers repossession of such Financed Vehicle in accordance with its normal and customary servicing practices and procedures. After repossession of a Financed Vehicle, the Servicer shall in accordance with its customary and usual practices and procedures sell such Financed Vehicle in an auction or consign such Financed Vehicle to a Dealer for resale as soon as is practicable after repossession, subject to any applicable laws. The Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in determining when and if to exercise reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover from proceeds all reasonable expenses incurred by it in the course of converting the Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds. The Liquidation Proceeds with respect to a Receivable shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account in the manner specified in Section 5.2 and shall be applied to reduce (or to satisfy, as the case may be) the Repurchase Amount of the Receivable, if such Receivable is to be repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.2, or is to be purchased by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.6. The foregoing shall be subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its sole discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Liquidation Proceeds of the related Receivable by an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such expenses.

SECTION 4.4 Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, shall take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the first priority security interest of the Seller created in any Financed Vehicle which secures a Receivable. The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee hereby authorize the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby agrees, to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason, in either case, when the Servicer has knowledge of the need for such re-perfection. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Issuer and by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture is insufficient without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the State in which the Financed Vehicle is located, to grant to the Indenture Trustee a perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, the Seller and Servicer hereby agree that the Seller’s listing as the secured party on the certificate of title is deemed to be in its capacity as agent of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer further agrees to hold such certificate of title as the Indenture Trustee’s agent and custodian; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not, nor shall the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or Holders have the right to require that the Servicer, make any such notation on the related

Financed Vehicles’ certificate of title or fulfill any such additional administrative requirement of the laws of the State in which a Financed Vehicle is located.

SECTION 4.5 Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer hereby makes the following covenants on which the Issuer will rely in accepting the Receivables:

(i) Security Interest to Remain in Force. The Financed Vehicle securing each Receivable shall not be released from the security interest granted by the Receivable in whole or in part except if such Financed Vehicle is substituted in whole by the manufacturer, dealer or seller as a result of mechanical defects or a total loss of the Financed Vehicle because of accident or theft or as otherwise contemplated herein;

(ii) No Impairment. The Servicer shall not impair the rights of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any Holder in the Receivables; and

(iii) Extensions; Defaulted Receivables. The Servicer shall not increase the number of payments under a Receivable, nor increase the Amount Financed under a Receivable, nor extend or forgive payments on a Receivable or otherwise amend the terms of any Receivable, except as provided in Section 4.2.

SECTION 4.6 Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. The Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties promptly, in writing, upon the discovery by the Seller, the Servicer or an Authorized Officer of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, of any breach by the Servicer of its covenants under Section 4.5 which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Holders in any Receivable (for this purpose, any breach of the covenant set forth in Section 4.5(iii) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interest of the Holders in a Receivable). Except as otherwise specified in Section 4.2, unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the Collection Period following the Collection Period in which such discovery occurred (or, at the Servicer’s election, the last day of the Collection Period in which such discovery occurred), the Servicer shall purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach as of such last day. In consideration of the purchase of such Receivable, the Servicer shall remit the Repurchase Amount (less any Liquidation Proceeds deposited, or to be deposited, by the Servicer in the Collection Account with respect to such Receivable pursuant to Section 4.3) in the manner specified in Section 5.4. The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Holders against the Servicer with respect to a breach pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.5 shall be to require the Servicer to purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 4.6. The Owner Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 4.6 or the eligibility of any Receivable for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.7 Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee for a Collection Period shall be payable on the related Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.5 and shall equal the sum of (i)(A) in the case of the first Payment Date, the product of 35 multiplied by 1/360 of the Servicing Fee Rate and the Pool Balance as of the Cutoff Date or (B) for all other Payment Dates, the product of one-twelfth of the Servicing Fee Rate and the Pool Balance as of the related Settlement Date and (ii) Late Fees received from Obligors during such Collection Period. In addition, as part of

the Servicing Fee, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive on each Payment Date Investment Earnings when and as paid on amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or earned on collections pending deposit in the Collection Account. The Servicer shall be required to pay from its own account all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder (including fees and disbursements of independent accountants and auditors, taxes imposed on the Servicer, and other costs incurred in connection with administering and servicing the Receivables) and the fees and disbursements of the Issuer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee’s and the Indenture Trustee’s respective counsel, the Securities Intermediaries, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent, the Note Registrar and the Certificate Registrar except for United States federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, if any, imposed on the Issuer or any Holder or any expenses in connection with realizing upon Receivables under Section 4.3.

SECTION 4.8 Servicer’s Certificate. On or before each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Rating Agencies a Servicer’s Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, for the Collection Period preceding such Determination Date, containing all information necessary to make the distributions pursuant to Section 5.5, and all information necessary for the Paying Agent to send statements to Holders pursuant to Section 5.9. The Servicer shall deliver to the Rating Agencies any information, to the extent it is available to the Servicer, that the Rating Agencies reasonably request in order to monitor the Issuer. The Servicer shall also specify each Receivable which the Seller or the Servicer is required to repurchase or purchase, as the case may be, as of the last day of the preceding Collection Period and each Receivable which the Servicer shall have determined to be a Defaulted Receivable during the preceding Collection Period. Subsequent to the Closing Date, the form of Servicer’s Certificate may be revised or modified to cure any ambiguities or inconsistencies between such form and this Agreement; provided, however, that no material information shall be deleted from the form of Servicer’s Certificate. In the event that the form of Servicer’s Certificate is revised or modified in accordance with the preceding sentence, a form thereof, as so revised or modified, shall be provided to the Owner Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency.

SECTION 4.9 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

(a) The Servicer shall deliver to a firm of independent certified public accountants, on or before March 31 of each year commencing March 31, 2006, a certificate signed by the chairman of the board, the president, the treasurer, the controller, any executive or senior vice president or any vice president of the Servicer, stating that (a) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the year ended the preceding December 31 (or the period since the Cutoff Date in the case of the first such certificate) and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (b) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations in all material respects under this Agreement throughout such year (or the period since the Cutoff Date in the case of the first such certificate), or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

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

SECTION 4.10 Annual Audit Report. The Servicer shall cause a firm of independent public accountants (which may provide other services to the Servicer or the Seller) to prepare a report (with a copy of the certificate described in Section 4.9(a) attached) addressed to the Board of Directors of the Servicer, for the information and use of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Rating Agencies on or before March of each year, beginning March 31, 2006 to the effect that, with respect to the twelve months ended the preceding December 31 (or the period since the Cutoff Date, in the case of the first such certificate), such firm has either (A) examined a written assertion by the Servicer about the effectiveness of the Servicer’s internal control structure over the processing and reporting of transactions relating to securitized automobile loans with respect to the criteria set forth by the Servicer (the “Assertion”) and that, on the basis of such examination, such firm is of the opinion that the Servicer’s Assertion is fairly stated in all material respects except for such exceptions as shall be set forth in such firm’s report, or (B) such firm has performed the following procedures:

1.	For a sample of daily cash receipts during the preceding calendar year:

Trace total cash receipts to deposits on bank statements.

Agree cash receipts for securitized loans to computer reports.

Trace cash receipts for securitized loans to disbursements to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee.

The determination of which of the two alternative reports to be prepared and delivered, and the size of each sample to be tested, shall be decided in the sole discretion of the Servicer. The report of the independent certified public accountants shall also indicate that such accounting firm is independent of the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

SECTION 4.11 Access by Holders to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to the Holders access to the Receivable Files in such cases where the Holders shall be required by applicable statutes or regulations to have access to such documentation. Access by the Holders shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours which do not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations or customer or employee relations. Nothing in this Section 4.11 shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.11.

SECTION 4.12 Reports to Holders and the Rating Agencies.

(a) The Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, shall provide to any Holder who so requests in writing (addressed to the Corporate Trust Office of such trustee) a copy of any Servicer’s Certificate described in Section 4.8, of the annual statement described in Section 4.9(a), or of the annual report described in Section 4.10.

STATEMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

SECTION 5.1 Establishment of Collection Account and Note Distribution Account.

(1) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer, the Collection Account Securities Intermediary and the Indenture Trustee shall have entered into the Collection Account Control Agreement pursuant to which the Collection Account shall be established and maintained for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders. If the depositary of the

Collection Account ceases to be either a Qualified Institution or a Qualified Trust Institution, as applicable, the Issuer shall cause the Collection Account to be moved to a Qualified Institution or a separate trust account in a Qualified Trust Institution and the Indenture Trustee shall cause the depositary maintaining the new Collection Account to assume the obligations of the existing Collection Account Securities Intermediary under the Collection Account Control Agreement unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied in connection with such depositary’s ceasing to be a Qualified Institution or a Qualified Trust Institution, as the case may be. All amounts held in the Collection Account shall be invested in accordance with the Collection Account Control Agreement at the written direction of the Servicer to the extent provided in Section 8.3(a) and Section 8.3(c) of the Indenture in Permitted Investments that mature not later than the Deposit Date next succeeding the date of investment except, if the Collection Account Securities Intermediary and the Indenture Trustee are the same Person, investments on which the Indenture Trustee is the obligor (including repurchase agreements on which the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity, is liable as principal) may mature on the next succeeding Payment Date; provided, however, that once such amounts have been invested in Permitted Investments, such Permitted Investments must be held or maintained until they mature on or before the dates described above. For administrative purposes only, the Issuer shall establish and maintain an administrative subaccount within the Collection Account designated as the “Principal Distribution Subaccount”.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish and maintain for the benefit of the Noteholders, in the name of the Indenture Trustee, an Eligible Deposit Account for the deposit of distributions to the Noteholders (the “Note Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders. The Note Distribution Account shall be established initially at JPMorgan Chase. Should any depositary of the Note Distribution Account or the Certificate Distribution Account (including JPMorgan Chase (or an Affiliate thereof)) cease to be either a Qualified Institution or a Qualified Trust Institution, as applicable, then the Servicer shall, with the Seller’s assistance as necessary, cause the related account to be moved to a Qualified Institution or a Qualified Trust Institution, unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied in connection with such depositary’s ceasing to be a Qualified Institution or a Qualified Trust Institution, as the case may be. Amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account shall not be invested.

(b) The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Note Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Owner Trust Estate.

SECTION 5.2 Collections.

(a) The Servicer shall remit daily within forty-eight hours of receipt to the Collection Account all Collections collected during the Collection Period. Chase USA has requested that, so long as it is acting as the Servicer, the Servicer be permitted to make remittances of Collections on a less frequent basis than that specified in the immediately preceding sentence. It is understood that such less frequent remittances may be made only on the specific terms and conditions set forth below in this Section 5.2 and only for so long as such terms and conditions are fulfilled. Accordingly, notwithstanding the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 5.2, the Servicer shall remit such collections to the Collection Account

in Automated Clearinghouse Corporation next-day funds or immediately available funds no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Deposit Date, but only for so long as (i) the short-term certificate of deposit ratings of the Servicer are at least P-1 by Moody’s, “F1” by Fitch (if rated by Fitch) and “A-1” by Standard & Poor’s, or the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied as a result of Collections being remitted on a monthly, rather than daily, basis and (ii) the Servicer shall be Chase USA or JPMorgan Chase. Upon remittance by the Servicer of Collections to the Collection Account pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Paying Agent shall provide written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee no later than 11 a.m., New York City time, on each Deposit Date, setting forth the amounts remitted by the Servicer on such date and, if the Paying Agent fails to provide the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, with such written notice by 12 noon, New York City time, on such Deposit Date, then the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall assume that no deposits were made to the Collection Account pursuant to this Section 5.2. For purposes of this Section 5.2 the phrase “payments made on behalf of the Obligors” shall mean payments made by Persons other than the Seller or the Servicer.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Servicer inadvertently deposits amounts that it mistakenly believes are Collections resulting in the payment in full of a Receivable, and (i) the Servicer discovers its error prior to the Payment following such deposit, the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of the Servicer, shall withdraw such amounts and pay them to the Servicer or (ii) the Servicer shall be deemed to have purchased such Receivable pursuant to Section 4.6 as of the last day of the Collection Period during which such error shall have occurred.

SECTION 5.3 [Reserved].

SECTION 5.4 Additional Deposits. The Servicer, or the Seller, as the case may be, shall deposit into the Collection Account the aggregate Repurchase Amount pursuant to Sections 3.2, 4.6 and 9.1(a), as applicable. All remittances shall be made to the Collection Account, in Automated Clearinghouse Corporation next-day funds or immediately available funds, no later than 11 a.m., New York City time, on the Deposit Date.

SECTION 5.5 Distributions.

(a) No later than 12 noon, New York City time, on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate all amounts required to determine the amounts to be withdrawn from the Reserve Account (if any) and deposited into the Collection Account and the amounts to be withdrawn from the Collection Account and paid to the Servicer and the Administrator, allocated to the Principal Distribution Subaccount, deposited into the Note Distribution Account and the Certificate Distribution Account and/or paid to the Class R Certificateholder pursuant to Section 5.7(d) with respect to the next succeeding Payment Date.

(b) On each Deposit Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee in writing (based on the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date pursuant to Section 4.8) to withdraw from the Reserve Account and deposit in the Collection Account the Reserve Account Transfer Amount (if any) for the related Payment

Date, and the Indenture Trustee shall so withdraw and deposit the Reserve Account Transfer Amount (if any) for such Payment Date.

(c) Not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Payment Date, at the Servicer’s direction, the Indenture Trustee, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall cause to be made the following distributions, to the extent of the Available Amount then on deposit in the Collection Account and amounts withdrawn from the Reserve Account and deposited in the Collection Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the following order of priority and in the amounts set forth in the Servicer’s Certificate for such Payment Date:

(i) to the Servicer, the sum of (x) the Servicing Fee for the preceding Collection Period, plus (y) the amount of any Servicing Fee previously due but not paid, if any, to the extent such amounts are not deducted from the Servicer’s remittance to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.8;

(ii) to the Administrator, the sum of (x) the Administration Fee for such Payment Date, plus (y) the amount of any Administration Fee previously due but not paid, if any;

(iii) to the Note Distribution Account, the Noteholders’ Interest Distributable Amount;

(iv) except as set forth in Section 5.5(d), allocate to the Principal Distribution Subaccount, the First Priority Principal Distribution Amount for such Payment Date;

(v) except as set forth in Section 5.5(d), to the Owner Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account, the Certificateholders’ Interest Distributable Amount;

(vi) except as set forth in Section 5.5(d), allocate to the Principal Distribution Subaccount, the Second Priority Principal Distribution Amount for such Payment Date;

(vii) except as set forth in Section 5.5(d), to the Reserve Account, the excess, if any, of the Specified Reserve Account Balance for such Payment Date over the Available Reserve Account Amount for such Payment Date;

(viii) except as set forth in Section 5.5(d), allocate to the Principal Distribution Subaccount, the Regular Principal Distribution Amount for such Payment Date; and

(ix) except as provided in Section 5.5(d), to the Class R Certificateholder any remaining portion of the Available Amount.

In the event that the Collection Account is maintained with an institution other than the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall instruct and cause such institution to make all deposits and distributions pursuant to this Section 5.5(c) on the related Deposit Date.

(d) If the Notes have been declared immediately due and payable as provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture following the occurrence of an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 5.1 of the Indenture, any amounts remaining in the Collection Account after the distributions described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 5.5(c) shall be distributed as follows: (1) an amount equal to the Outstanding Amount of the Notes will be deposited in the Note Distribution Account, (2) an amount equal to the Certificateholders’ Interest Distributable Amount will be deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account, (3) an amount equal to the Certificate Balance will be deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account and (4) any remaining amounts will be paid to the Class R Certificateholder.

(e) So long as the Notes have not been declared immediately due and payable as provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture following the occurrence of an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 5.1 of the Indenture, on each Payment Date, at the Servicer’s direction, the Indenture Trustee, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall cause to be made the following distributions from the Principal Distribution Subaccount by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the following order of priority and in the amounts set forth in the Servicer’s Certificate for such Payment Date:

(i) to the Note Distribution Account, the Noteholders’ Principal Distribution Amount for such Payment Date; and

(ii) to the Certificate Distribution Account, the Certificateholders’ Principal Distribution Amount for such Payment Date.

SECTION 5.6 [Reserved].

SECTION 5.7 Reserve Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer, the Reserve Account Securities Intermediary and the Indenture Trustee shall have entered into the Reserve Account Control Agreement pursuant to which the Reserve Account shall be established and maintained for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders. Pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Trust Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee shall deposit the Reserve Account Initial Deposit into the Reserve Account.

(b) If the depositary of the Reserve Account ceases to be either a Qualified Institution or a Qualified Trust Institution, as applicable, the Issuer shall cause the Reserve Account to be moved to a Qualified Institution or a separate trust account in a Qualified Trust Institution and the Indenture Trustee shall cause the depositary maintaining the new Reserve Account to assume the obligations of the existing Reserve Account Securities Intermediary under the Reserve Account Control Agreement unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied in connection with such depositary’s ceasing to be a Qualified Institution or a Qualified Trust Institution, as the case may be.

(c) All amounts held in the Reserve Account shall be invested in accordance with the Reserve Account Control Agreement at the written direction of the Class R Certificateholder to the extent provided in Section 8.3(a) and Section 8.3(c) of the Indenture in Permitted Investments that mature not later than the Deposit Date next succeeding the date of

investment except, if the Reserve Account Securities Intermediary and the Indenture Trustee are the same Person, investments on which the Indenture Trustee is the obligor (including repurchase agreements on which the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity, is liable as principal) may mature on the next succeeding Payment Date; provided, however, that amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account may be invested in Permitted Investments that mature later than the next succeeding Deposit Date, but in no event that mature later than 90 days after the date of investment, if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. Once amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account are invested in Permitted Investments, such Permitted Investments must be held or maintained until they mature on or before the dates described above.

(d) On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Reserve Account and pay to the Class R Certificateholder the sum of (i) all investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) credited to the Reserve Account since the prior Payment Date and (ii) the excess, if any, of the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account over the Specified Reserve Account Balance for such Payment Date (after giving effect to all deposits therein or withdrawals therefrom on such Payment Date). Upon any distribution to the Class R Certificateholder of amounts from the Reserve Account, the Holders will have no rights in, or claims, to, such amounts. Amounts properly distributed to the Class R Certificateholder from the Reserve Account shall not be available under any circumstances to the Indenture Trustee, and the Class R Certificateholder shall not in any event thereafter be required to refund any such distributed amounts.

SECTION 5.8 Net Deposits. Chase USA (in its capacity as the Seller or the Servicer) may make the remittances pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 5.4 above, net of amounts to be retained by it or distributed to it (also in any such capacity) pursuant to Section 4.7 (if applicable) and Section 5.5, if (a) it shall be the Servicer and (b) it is entitled, pursuant to Section 5.2, to make deposits on a monthly basis, rather than a daily basis. Nonetheless, the Servicer shall account for all of the above-described amounts as if such amounts were deposited and distributed separately.

SECTION 5.9 Statements to Certificateholders and Noteholders. On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent (for the Paying Agent to forward to each Noteholder of record pursuant to the Indenture) and to the Owner Trustee (for the Owner Trustee to forward to each Certificateholder of record pursuant to the Trust Agreement) a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit B (or such other form that is acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer containing substantially similar information), with a copy to the Rating Agencies.

Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be communicated to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Seller and the Rating Agencies at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee concurrently with such notice. No such resignation shall become effective until the Indenture Trustee (which shall not be obligated to act as successor Servicer if the Servicer has resigned for a reason other than that the performance of its duties are no longer permissible under applicable law) or a successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 8.2.

Notwithstanding any delegation of duties by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.6, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its liability and responsibility with respect to such duties, and any such delegation shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 7.5. Any agreement that may be entered into by the Servicer and a Person that provides for any delegation of the Servicer’s duties hereunder to such Person shall be deemed to be between the Servicer and such Person alone, and the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and Holders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect thereto.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Servicing Termination as described above, and in each and every case and for so long as such Event of Servicing Termination shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (or, if the Notes have been paid in full and the Indenture has been discharged in accordance with its terms, by the Owner Trustee or the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Certificate Balance), by notice given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, if given by Holders) may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates, the Notes or the Receivables or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.1; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee shall be hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or

otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivable Files, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, shall have been deposited by the predecessor Servicer in the Collection Account, or shall thereafter be received with respect to a Receivable. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall give written notice of any termination of the Servicer to their related Holders, and the Indenture Trustee shall give such notice to the Rating Agencies. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any successor Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of its failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof which was caused by (i) the failure of the predecessor Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the predecessor Servicer.

SECTION 8.2 Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor Servicer. Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.1 or resignation pursuant to Section 7.5, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer would have been entitled to under this Agreement if no such notice of termination or resignation had been given. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it shall be legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established financial institution (x) having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter for such institution and (y) whose regular business shall include the servicing of automobile receivables, as successor Servicer under this Agreement; provided, that the appointment of any such successor Servicer is required to satisfy the Rating Agency Condition. In connection with such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor Servicer out of payments on Receivables as it and such successor Servicer shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer under this Agreement. The Indenture Trustee and such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Unless the Indenture Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Indenture Trustee shall not be relieved of its duties as successor Servicer under this Section 8.2 until the newly appointed successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.3 Notification to Noteholders and Certificateholders. Upon any Event of Servicing Termination, or appointment of a successor Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders, at their respective addresses of record, and to the Rating Agencies.

SECTION 8.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of Notes evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (or, the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Certificate Balance, in the case of any Event of Servicing Termination that does not adversely affect the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders) may, on behalf of all such Holders, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in the failure to make any required deposits to or payments from any of the Trust Accounts or the Certificate Distribution Account in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Servicing Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. The Servicer shall give prompt written notice of any waiver to the Rating Agencies; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall only be required to give such notice if a Responsible Officer thereof has actual knowledge of the related event.

On the Payment Date on which the Sale Proceeds are deposited in the Collection Account (or, if such proceeds are not so deposited on a Payment Date, on the Payment Date immediately following such deposit), the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee in writing to make, and the Indenture Trustee shall make, the following deposits and distributions (after the application on such Payment Date of the

Available Amount pursuant to Section 5.5) from the Sale Proceeds and any funds remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account (including the proceeds of any sale of investments therein):

For purposes of such calculation, future scheduled payments on the Receivables were assumed to be made on their scheduled due dates without any delays, defaults or prepayments.
