(c) Security Interest. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof in favor of the Issuing Entity, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor.

(d) Characterization of Receivables. The Receivables constitute "tangible chattel paper" within the meaning of the UCC.

(e) All Actions Taken. On the Delivery Date all original executed copies of each Contract that constitute or evidence the Receivables will be delivered to the Custodian.

(a) The Depositor, the Servicer or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement, CFSC and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the Depositor's representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.01 or any breach of CFSC's representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.02(b) of the Purchase Agreement.

(b) In consideration of the repurchase of the Receivable, the Depositor shall remit the Purchase Amount with respect to such Receivable in the manner specified in Section 5.03; provided, however, that the obligation of the Depositor to repurchase any Receivable arising solely as a result of a breach of CFSC's representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.02(b) of the Purchase Agreement is subject to the receipt by the Depositor of the Purchase Amount from CFSC. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, the sole remedy of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholder with respect to a breach of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.01, Section 3.02(b) of the Purchase Agreement and the agreement contained in this Section shall be to require the Depositor to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section, subject to the conditions contained herein, or to enforce CFSC's obligation, if any, to the Depositor to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

The Indenture Trustee shall have access to such accounts, records and computer systems.

(c) Safekeeping. The Servicer shall hold, or cause to be held, on behalf of the Issuing Entity (i) all file stamped copies of UCC financing statements evidencing the security interest of the Issuing Entity in Transaction Equipment and (ii) any and all documents, other than the Receivable Files, that CFSC or the Depositor shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to a Receivable, an Obligor or Transaction Equipment, and shall maintain such accurate and complete records pertaining to each Receivable as shall enable the Issuing Entity to comply with this Agreement. Upon instruction from the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall release any such UCC filing or other document to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee's agent, or the Indenture Trustee's designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon as practicable.

SECTION 3.05. Acceptance by Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee of the Receivables; Certification by the Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Issuing Entity hereby acknowledges and declares that on the Delivery Date the Custodian will hold the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture and this Agreement. By its acknowledgment of this Agreement, the Custodian agrees that it will execute and deliver the Custodian Certifications (as defined in the Custodial Agreement) described in Sections 3.1 and 4.1 of the Custodial Agreement. Prior to delivering the Receivable Files to the Custodian, the Servicer agrees to review (or cause to be reviewed) each Receivable File. The Indenture Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. On the Delivery Date the Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and each Rating Agency, a certification in the form attached as Schedule C to the effect that, as to each Receivable (other than any Receivable paid in full or any Receivable specifically identified in such certification as not covered by such certification): (i) all documents required to be delivered to the Custodian pursuant to this Agreement (including each of the items in the definition of Receivable File) have been delivered to the Custodian, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged, torn or otherwise physically altered (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute physical alteration if initialed by the Obligor) and relate to such Receivable, and (iii) based on its examination, and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth on the Schedule of Receivables accurately reflects the information set forth in the Receivable Files.

(b) The Depositor agrees to use reasonable efforts to (i) in connection with the delivery of the Receivable Files on the Delivery Date, cause to be delivered to the Custodian, any Receivable File that the Custodian determines is missing pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Custodial Agreement and (ii) cause to be remedied a material defect in a document constituting part of a Receivable File. If, however, the Depositor has not caused (A) such missing Receivable File to be delivered or (B) to be remedied any defect by the last day of the second month following the month of the Delivery Date, and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder in the related Receivable, the Depositor shall remit the Purchase Amount in the manner specified in Section 5.03. The obligation of the Depositor to repurchase any Receivable is subject to the receipt by the Depositor of the Purchase Amount from CFSC in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.03, the sole remedy of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholder with respect to such missing Receivable File or such a defect and the agreement contained in this Section shall be to require the Depositor to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section, subject to the conditions contained herein, or to enforce CFSC's obligation to the Depositor, if any, to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. 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.

(c) Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a certification of the Servicer of a repurchase of a Receivable described in Section 3.05(b) and receipt of the Purchase Amount, the Indenture Trustee is required to release to CFSC the related Receivable File and shall execute, without recourse, and deliver such instruments of transfer as may be necessary to transfer such Receivable to CFSC.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

SECTION 4.01. Duties of Servicer. The Issuing Entity hereby engages the Servicer and the Servicer hereby agrees to manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables) with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer's duties shall include calculating, billing, collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating delinquencies, reporting tax information to Obligors (to the extent required under the related Contracts), accounting for collections, and furnishing servicer reports to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.02, the Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures in performing its duties as Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholder and the Noteholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such Receivables or to the Transaction Equipment securing such Receivables. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Issuing Entity (in the case of a Receivable other than a Purchased Receivable) shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection, such Receivable to the Servicer. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Owner Trustee shall, at the Servicer's expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholder or the Noteholders. The Owner Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Servicer, furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer shall prepare, execute or cause to be executed and deliver all certificates or other documents required to be delivered by the Issuing Entity pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Servicer shall determine the estimated value of any Receivable as to which a Scheduled Payment is more than 180 days past its due date as of the last day of a Collection Period during or prior to the immediately following Collection Period.

SECTION 4.02. Collection of Receivable Payments.

(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable machinery receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer shall not reduce the principal balance of, reduce the APR of, reduce the aggregate amount of Scheduled Payments or the amount of any Scheduled Payment due under any Receivable, release or modify the security interest in the Financed Equipment securing such Receivable, or otherwise amend or modify a Receivable in a manner that would have a material adverse effect on the interests of the Noteholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may grant extensions on a Receivable; provided, however, that if the Servicer extends the due date of any Scheduled Payment to a date beyond the Class B Note Final Scheduled Distribution Date, it shall promptly purchase the Receivable from the Issuing Entity in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07. To the extent not otherwise required by applicable law or the applicable Contract, the Servicer shall allocate payments made by or on behalf of the Obligor with respect to the Receivables first to any overdue Scheduled Payment (including taxes and miscellaneous billables), second to the current Scheduled Payment (including taxes and miscellaneous billables) and third to late fees. The Servicer may in its discretion waive any other amounts of Additional Servicing Compensation that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that a Receivable becomes a Liquidated Receivable, any Recoveries relating thereto shall be paid to the Depositor and such Liquidated Receivable shall be assigned by the Issuing Entity to the Depositor.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to the immediately succeeding sentence), the Servicer may refinance any Receivable only if (i) the related Obligor executes a new installment sales contract or lease and (ii) the proceeds of such refinancing are used to pre-pay all obligations in full of such Obligor under such Receivable (which amount shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.02). The new receivable created by the refinancing shall not be property of the Issuing Entity. The parties hereto intend that the Servicer will not refinance a Receivable pursuant to this Section 4.02(b) in order to provide direct or indirect assurance to the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders, or the Certificateholder, as applicable, against loss by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency (or other credit condition) of, or default by, the Obligor on, or the uncollectability of, any Receivable.

SECTION 4.03. Realization upon Receivables. On behalf of the Issuing Entity, the Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise realize upon the Transaction Equipment securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer shall have determined eventual payment in full is unlikely or, with respect to Financed Equipment relating to any Lease, as to which the related Obligor has returned the Financed Equipment. The Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of comparable receivables, which may include selling the Transaction Equipment at public or private sale. The foregoing shall be subject to the provision that, in any case in which any item of Transaction Equipment shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such Transaction Equipment unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair or repossession will increase the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.

SECTION 4.04. Physical Damage Insurance. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, require that each Obligor shall have obtained physical damage insurance covering the Transaction Equipment as of the execution of the Receivable.

SECTION 4.05. Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Equipment. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable (including each Receivable on which a governmental entity is the Obligor) in the related Financed Equipment. The Servicer is hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest or to maintain such perfected security interest on behalf of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of the Obligor, or for any other reason.

SECTION 4.06. Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer shall not: (i) release the Transaction Equipment securing any Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part or modify such security interest except (A) in accordance with Section 4.03 or (B) in the event of payment in full by the Obligor thereunder; (ii) impair the rights of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholder or the Noteholders in any Receivable; (iii) modify or refinance a Receivable except in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02; or (iv) fail to return a Receivable File released to it pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Custodial Agreement within five Business Days of such release.

SECTION 4.07. Purchase by Servicer of Receivables upon Breach. The Servicer or the Owner Trustee shall inform the other party and the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor and CFSC promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach pursuant to Section 4.02, 4.05 or 4.06. Unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the second month following such discovery (or, at the Servicer's election, the last day of the first following month) (except for the failure to return a released Receivable File, for which there is no grace period beyond the specified five Business Days), the Servicer shall purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach. If the Servicer takes any action pursuant to Section 4.02 that impairs the rights of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholder or the Noteholders in any Receivable or as otherwise provided in Section 4.02, the Servicer shall purchase such Receivable. In consideration of the purchase of any such Receivable pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, the Servicer shall remit the Purchase Amount in the manner specified in Section 5.03. Subject to Section 7.02, the sole remedy of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholder or the Noteholders with respect to a breach pursuant to Section 4.02, 4.05 or 4.06 shall be to require the Servicer to purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section. The Owner Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the purchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section. The parties hereto intend that the Servicer will not intentionally breach or cause a breach pursuant to Section 4.02, 4.05 or 4.06 in order to provide direct or indirect assurance to the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders, or the Certificateholder, as applicable, against loss by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency (or other credit condition) of, or default by, the Obligor on, or the uncollectability of, any Receivable.

SECTION 4.08. Servicing Fee. On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee in respect of the immediately preceding Collection Period equal to the product of (a) one-twelfth of the Servicing Fee Rate and (b) the Note Value as of the first day of such preceding Collection Period. The Servicer shall also be entitled to any Additional Servicing Compensation with respect to Receivables, collected (from whatever source) on the Receivables, which Additional Servicing Compensation shall be paid to the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.07.

SECTION 4.09. Servicer Report. On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Paying Agent as defined in the Trust Agreement, the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor, with a copy to the Rating Agencies, a Servicer Report containing all information necessary to make the distributions pursuant to Sections 5.04, 5.05 and 5.06 for the Collection Period preceding the date of such Servicer Report. The Servicer Report shall be substantially in the form of Schedule D (or such other form as is acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer). Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall be required to determine, confirm or recalculate the information contained in the Servicer Report. Receivables to be purchased by the Servicer or to be repurchased by the Depositor or CSFC shall be identified by the Servicer by account number with respect to such Receivable as specified in Schedule A.

SECTION 4.10. Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Default.

(a) The Servicer shall deliver to each of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies, on or before the earlier of (1) April 30 of each year or (2) with respect to any calendar year during which the Issuing Entity's Annual Report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission, the date on which the Annual Report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission, a servicer compliance statement, signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer, as described in Item 1123 of Regulation AB, to the effect that:

(ii) To the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout the reporting period or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

(b) The Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from all other parties participating in the servicing function any additional certifications required under Item 1123 of Regulation AB to the extent required to be included in the Issuing Entity’s Annual Report on Form 10-K; provided, however, that a failure to obtain such certifications shall not be a breach of the Servicer's duties hereunder if any such party fails to deliver such a certification.

(c) The Indenture Trustee shall send a copy of such certificate and the accountants' attestation referred to in Section 4.11 to the Rating Agencies. A copy of such certificate and the accountants' attestation referred to in Section 4.11 may be obtained by any Certificateholder by a request in writing to the Owner Trustee at its address in Section 10.03.

(d) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officers' Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under Section 8.01(a) or (b).

SECTION 4.11. Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Attestation. In order to confirm that the servicing of the Receivables has been conducted in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and to comply with the applicable provisions of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall deliver or shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants, which may also render other services to the Servicer, the Depositor or CFSC, to deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee on or before the earlier of (a) April 30 of each year or (b) with respect to any calendar year during which the Issuing Entity's Annual Report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission, the date on which the Annual Report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission, the attestation required under Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB.

The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholder and the Noteholders.

SECTION 4.13. Reports to the Commission.

The Depositor shall, at its expense, cooperate in any reasonable request made by the Servicer in connection with such filings.

CERTIFICATEHOLDER AND NOTEHOLDER INFORMATION

SECTION 5.01. Establishment of Trust Accounts.

(a) (i) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholder, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Securities Account (the "Collection Account"), which is U.S. Bank National Association Account #103403001 as of the Closing Date. The Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain an administrative subaccount within the Collection Account for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholder (the "Principal Distribution Account"), which is U.S. Bank National Association Account #103403002 as of the Closing Date.

(ii) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Securities Account (the "Reserve Account"), which is U.S. Bank National Association Account #103403003 as of the Closing Date.

(b) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account (including the Principal Distribution Account) and the Reserve Account (collectively, the "Trust Accounts") shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer; provided, however, it is understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any loss arising from such investment in Eligible Investments (other than losses from nonpayment of investments in obligations of the institution acting as Indenture Trustee). All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the applicable Noteholders and, if applicable, the Certificateholder. Other than as permitted by the Rating Agencies, funds credited to or on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the Transfer Date preceding the immediately following Distribution Date; provided, however, that funds credited to or on deposit in Trust Accounts may be invested in Eligible Investments of the Indenture Trustee which may mature so that such funds will be available on the Distribution Date. Funds credited to or deposited in a Trust Account on a Transfer Date which immediately precedes a Distribution Date upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments are not required to be invested overnight, but if so invested, such investments must meet the conditions of the immediately preceding sentence.

(c) (i)The Trust Accounts shall be under the control of the Indenture Trustee. If, at any time, any of the Trust Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Securities Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Trust Account as an Eligible Securities Account and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Trust Account. So long as U.S. Bank National Association is an Eligible Institution, any Trust Account may be maintained with it as an Eligible Securities Account.

(ii) With respect to the Trust Account Property, the Indenture Trustee and U.S. Bank National Association, as Securities Intermediary, agree, and each subsequent Securities Intermediary shall agree, by its acceptance hereof, that:

(A) any Trust Account Property held in securities accounts shall be held solely in the Eligible Securities Accounts; and each such Eligible Securities Account shall be subject to the control of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

(B) all Trust Account Property shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee by causing the financial institution then maintaining the related Trust Account (each such institution being referred to herein as a "Securities Intermediary") to indicate by book-entry that the financial asset related to such Trust Account Property has been credited to such Trust Account. Each Trust Account shall only be established at a financial institution which agrees (i) to comply with entitlement orders with respect to such Trust Account issued by the Indenture Trustee without further consent of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Issuing Entity and (ii) that each item of property credited to such Trust Account shall be treated as a financial asset, and the Securities Intermediary does hereby agree to the foregoing; and

(C) Upon release of the lien of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture in accordance with the terms thereof, each of the Trust Accounts shall be put in the name of the Issuing Entity and the Issuing Entity shall have all rights granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.

(iii) The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Trust Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer or the Owner Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.

(iv) The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to execute purchase and sales directed by the Servicer through the facilities of its own trading or capital markets operations. The Indenture Trustee shall send statements to the Servicer and the Issuing Entity monthly reflecting activity for each account created hereunder for the preceding month. Although the Issuing Entity recognizes that it may obtain a broker confirmation at no additional cost, the Issuing Entity hereby agrees that confirmations of investments are not required to be issued by the Indenture Trustee for each month in which a monthly statement is rendered. No statement need be rendered pursuant to the provision hereof if no activity occurred in the account for such month.

SECTION 5.02. Collections. Subject to Section 5.03, the Servicer shall remit to the Collection Account (i) all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors with respect to the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables) and (ii) all Liquidation Proceeds, in each case as collected during each Collection Period within two Business Days of receipt and identification thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) CFSC is the Servicer, (ii) a Servicer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing and (iii) CFSC maintains a short-term rating of at least "A-1" by Standard & Poor's and "Prime-1" by Moody's, the Servicer may remit such collections with respect to each Collection Period to the Collection Account on or before the second Business Day prior to the following Distribution Date. For purposes of this Article V, the phrase "payments by or on behalf of Obligors" shall mean payments made with respect to the Receivables by Persons other than the Servicer or CFSC.

SECTION 5.03. Additional Deposits.

(a) The Servicer and the Depositor shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account the Purchase Amounts with respect to Purchased Receivables as set forth in the immediately following sentence, and the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account all amounts to be paid under Section 9.01 as set forth therein. The Servicer and the Depositor will deposit the Purchase Amount with respect to each Purchased Receivable when such obligations are due, unless, with respect to Purchase Amounts to be remitted by the Servicer, the Servicer shall be permitted to make deposits monthly prior to each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.02, in which case such deposits shall be made in accordance with such Section. The Servicer shall account for Purchase Amounts paid by itself, CFSC, or the Depositor separately.

(b) By its acknowledgement of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee agrees that on each Distribution Date it will withdraw all Investment Earnings credited to the Reserve Account since the preceding Distribution Date (or in the case of the initial Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee will withdraw all Investment Earnings credited to Reserve Account since the Closing Date) and deposit such Investment Earnings in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 8.03(a) of the Indenture.

SECTION 5.04. Distributions.

(a) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate all amounts required to determine the amounts to be remitted to the Class A Noteholders, the Class B Noteholders and the Certificateholder.

(b) On the second Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee, which instruction shall be in the form of Schedule E (or such other form that is acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer), to make the following deposits and distributions for receipt by the Servicer, the Noteholders, or for deposit in the applicable Trust Account or Certificate Distribution Account by 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on such following Distribution Date to the extent of the Total Distribution Amount on deposit in the Collection Account, in the following order of priority:

(i) to the Servicer, the Servicing Fee and all unpaid Servicing Fees from prior Collection Periods;

(ii) to the Administrator under the Administration Agreement, the Administration Fee and all unpaid Administration Fees from prior Collection Periods;

(iii) to the Class A Noteholders pro rata based upon the amount of interest accrued on each such Class of Class A Notes, the Class A Noteholders' Interest Distributable Amount;

(iv) to the Principal Distribution Account, the First Priority Principal Distribution Amount, if any;

(v) to the Class B Noteholders, the Class B Noteholders' Interest Distributable Amount;

(vi) to the Principal Distribution Account, the Second Priority Principal Distribution Amount, if any;

(vii) to the Reserve Account, an amount equal to the excess of the Specified Reserve Account Balance over the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account on such Distribution Date; provided, that, on or prior to the Distribution Date on which the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account equals the Specified Reserve Account Balance, the amount deposited in the Reserve Account pursuant to this clause (vii) shall not exceed the Net Excess Spread for the applicable Distribution Date;

(viii) if any Class of Notes is Outstanding prior to giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date, to the Principal Distribution Account, the Regular Principal Distribution Amount;

(ix) pro rata, to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, all unpaid Indenture Trustee's fees and expenses, to the Custodian under the Custodial Agreement, all unpaid Custodian's fees and expenses; and to the Issuing Entity, the amount of any state taxes payable by the Issuing Entity; and

(x) to the Certificate Distribution Account, the remaining Total Distribution Amount.

(c) On the second Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee, which instruction shall be in the form of Schedule E (or such other form that is acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer), to make the following distributions from the Principal Distribution Account by 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on such following Distribution Date in the following order of priority:

(i) to the Class A-1 Noteholders in reduction of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Class A-1 Notes until the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

(ii) to the Class A-2 Noteholders in reduction of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Class A-2 Notes until the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

(iii) to the Class A-3 Noteholders in reduction of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Class A-3 Notes until the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

(iv) to the Class A-4 Noteholders in reduction of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Class A-4 Notes until the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero;

(v) to the Class B Noteholders in reduction of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Class B Notes until the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero; and

(vi) to the Certificate Distribution Account, any funds remaining on deposit in the Principal Distribution Account.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.04 to the contrary, if an Event of Default under the Indenture occurs and the maturities of the Notes are accelerated pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Indenture, all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b) or 5.04(c) of the Indenture.

(e) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuing Entity’s payment (or allocations of income) to the Class B Noteholders, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Class B Noteholders in accordance with this Section. The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class B Noteholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed or required to be withheld by the Issuing Entity (but such authorization shall not prevent the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to the Class B Noteholders shall be treated as cash distributed to the Class B Noteholders at the time it is withheld by the Issuing Entity and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution, the Indenture Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this clause (e). In the event that the Class B Noteholders wish to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Class B Noteholders in making such claim so long as the Class B Noteholders agrees to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.05 to the contrary, if an Event of Default under the Indenture occurs and the maturities of the Notes are accelerated pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Indenture, amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be applied by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 5.04(b) or 5.04(c) of the Indenture.

As an administrative convenience, so long as CFSC is the Servicer and the Administrator, if the Servicer is permitted to remit collections monthly rather than within two Business Days of their receipt and identification pursuant to Section 5.02, the Servicer will be permitted to make the deposit of collections on the Receivables and Purchase Amounts for or with respect to the Collection Period net of distributions to be made to the Servicer or the Administrator with respect to such Collection Period (including any Additional Servicing Compensation and the Servicing Fee to the extent of amounts available for payment thereof), and the Servicer shall pay amounts owing to the Administrator directly; provided, that if the Servicer is required to remit collections within two Business Days, the Servicer shall be paid the Additional Servicing Compensation by means of the Servicer making the deposit of such collections net of the Additional Servicing Compensation and deposits of such amounts may not be made net of the Servicing Fee.

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 Notes, the Certificate or the Receivables or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are 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 Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner 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, or shall thereafter be received by it with respect to a Receivable.

Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Owner Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Rating Agencies.

SECTION 8.02. Appointment of Successor Servicer.

(a) Upon the Servicer's receipt of notice of termination, pursuant to Section 8.01 or the Servicer's resignation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the earlier of (x) the date 45 days from the delivery to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (y) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the Servicer's termination hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a successor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, pending the appointment of and acceptance by a successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed and serve as the successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and the Additional Servicing Compensation. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established institution who has demonstrated its capability to service the Receivables to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of receivables comparable with the Receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement.

The Indenture Trustee, acting in its capacity as successor Servicer, and any successor Servicer appointed by it, shall have no responsibility or obligation (i) for any breach by any predecessor Servicer of any of its representations and warranties, or (ii) any acts or omissions of CFSC or any other Servicer prior to its termination.

(b) Upon appointment, the successor Servicer (including the Indenture Trustee acting as successor servicer) shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and the Additional Servicing Compensation and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Subject to the Indenture Trustee's right to appoint a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02(a) after the Indenture Trustee has become the Servicer pending the appointment of and acceptance by a successor Servicer, the Servicer may not resign unless it is prohibited from serving as such by law.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Indenture Trustee nor any successor Servicer shall be deemed in default, breach or violation of this Agreement as a result of the failure of CFSC or any Servicer (i) to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee or any successor Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01, (ii) to deliver funds required to be deposited to any Trust Account or (iii) to deliver files or records relative to the Receivables as may be requested by the Indenture Trustee or successor Servicer.

SECTION 8.03. Notification to Noteholders and Certificateholder. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholder and the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Noteholders and the Rating Agencies.

SECTION 8.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of Class A Notes evidencing more than a 50% of the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Notes or, if no Class A Notes are Outstanding, the Holders of Class B Notes evidencing more than 50% of the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Notes or, if no Notes are Outstanding, the Certificateholder, may, on behalf of all Noteholders and the Certificateholder, waive in writing any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the Trust Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default 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 thereto.

SECTION 8.05. Appointment of Custodians. CFSC, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee may, with the consent of the Servicer and notice to the Rating Agencies, appoint U.S. Bank National Association, as Custodian to hold all or a portion of the Receivable Files as agent for such Person during such time as such Person owns or has an interest in the Receivables, in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. U.S. Bank National Association is appointed Custodian and, for so long as it shall be the Custodian thereunder, agrees to comply with the terms of the Custodial Agreement applicable to it. The Indenture Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of the Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholder or the Noteholders pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 10.02(i)(1).

(e) The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale under this Agreement of the Receivables, the Servicer's master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the Issuing Entity (which interest has been acquired from the Depositor) and the Indenture Trustee in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by the Issuing Entity and a security interest therein has been granted to the Indenture Trustee. Indication of the Issuing Entity's interest (which interest has been acquired from the Depositor) and the Indenture Trustee's interest in a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer's computer systems when, and only when, the related Receivable shall have been paid in full or repurchased.

(f) If at any time the Depositor or the Servicer shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in receivables comparable with the Receivables, to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Issuing Entity and a security interest therein has been granted to the Indenture Trustee.
