designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 2.01.
Until the Trustee gives notice to CAI of the designation of a new

and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the
Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Servicer may not delegate
any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder, or designate a
substitute Servicer, without the prior written consent of the Trustee,
the Enhancement Providers and the Notice Persons; provided, however,
that CAI shall be permitted to delegate its duties hereunder to any of
its Affiliates or their agents and may use sub-Servicers, but such
delegation shall not relieve CAI of its duties and obligations
hereunder.
3
(b) (i) After the occurrence of a Servicer Default or any Pay
Out Event, the Trustee may, and upon the direction of the Required
Noteholders or in the case of a Specified Servicer Default shall, in
accordance with the provisions set forth in clause (ii) below, appoint
Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, to succeed CAI as
Servicer hereunder (in such capacity, together with its respective
successors and assigns in such capacity, the "Back-Up Servicer")
pursuant to the Back-Up Servicing Agreement dated as of the date
hereof (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time the "Back-Up Servicing Agreement), among the Back-Up Servicer and
the various other parties thereto.
(ii) If (x) the Back-Up Servicer, on the date of its
appointment as successor Servicer or at any time following such
appointment, fails or is unable to perform the duties of the
Servicer hereunder or has previously resigned or otherwise been
terminated as Back-Up Servicer, or (y) any other Person
designated successor Servicer in accordance with this Section
2.01 resigns, fails or is unable to perform the duties of the
Servicer hereunder following its appointment as successor
Servicer, the Trustee may, and upon the direction of the Required
Noteholders shall, appoint as Servicer any Person to succeed the
then-current Servicer on the condition in each case that any such
Person so appointed shall agree to perform the duties and
obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Until
such time as the Person so appointed becomes obligated to begin
acting as Servicer hereunder, the then current Servicer will
continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents. If the Trustee is not able
to appoint a new Servicer to succeed CAI, the Back-Up Servicer or
any other Person then acting as Servicer, within a reasonable
time following the date upon which it is required to so appoint a
successor to the Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.01 (but in
any event not later than 30 days following such date), the
Trustee shall at the Issuer's expense petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint as the Servicer hereunder any
established financial institution having, in the case of any
entity that is subject to risk-based capital adequacy
requirements, risk-basked capital of at least $25,000,000 or, in
the case of an entity that is not subject to risk-based capital
requirements, having a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 and
whose regular business includes the servicing of receivables
comparable to the Receivables which are the subject of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Following any
appointment of a successor Servicer pursuant to this Section
2.01, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Issuer, the
Sellers, the Enhancement Providers and the Noteholders.
(c) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any differential
between the Servicing Fee and any compensation paid to a successor
Servicer hereunder.
4
Section 2.02 Duties of Servicer.
(a) (i) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such
action as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to collect each
Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable Laws,
with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit
and Collection Policy. Each of the Issuer, each Noteholder by its
acceptance of the related Notes and each of the other Secured Parties
(through their deemed appointment of the Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture), hereby appoints as its agent the Servicer, from time to
time designated pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, to enforce its
respective rights and interests in and under the Contracts,
Receivables and Related Security, Collections and proceeds with
respect thereto. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of
the Issuer and CAI (to the extent not then acting as Servicer
hereunder) hereby grants to any Servicer appointed hereunder all
rights and powers of the Issuer and/or the Servicer, as the case may
be, under the Contracts and with respect to the Related Security, and
hereby grants an irrevocable power of attorney to take in the Issuer's
and/or CAI's name and on behalf of the Issuer or CAI any and all steps
necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the
Servicer, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables,
including, without limitation, to cancel any policy of insurance, make
demands for unearned premiums, commence enforcement proceedings,
exercise other powers under a Contract, execute and deliver
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or full or partial
discharge, with respect to Receivables, endorse the Issuer's and/or
CAI's name on checks and other instruments representing Collections
and enforce such Receivables and the related Contracts. The Servicer
shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, turn over to
CAI any collections of any Indebtedness of any Person which is not on
account of a Receivable. The Servicer shall not make the Trustee, any
Enhancement Provider, any Noteholder or any of their respective agents
a party to any litigation without the prior written consent of such
Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject
to Section 2.04, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered
unless such power and authority is revoked by the Trustee on account
of a Servicer Default (A) to make deposits or withdrawals from the
Collection Account as set forth in this Agreement, the Indenture and
any Series Supplement, (B) to instruct the Trustee to make deposits or
withdrawals and payments from the Finance Charge Account, the
Principal Account and any Series Account, in accordance with such
instructions as set forth in the Indenture or any applicable Series
Supplement, (C) to instruct or notify Trustee in writing, as set forth
in this Agreement, the Indenture and any Series Supplement, (D) to
make all calculations, allocations and determinations required of the
Servicer under the Indenture, any Series Supplement and as required
herein or to establish Series Accounts, (E) to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Issuer for the benefit of the Noteholders, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Receivables and the other Contracts and Related
Security and, after any delinquency in payment relating to any
Receivable, to the extent permitted under and in compliance with
applicable law and regulations, to commence enforcement proceedings
with respect thereto (including cancellation
5
of the related insurance policy) and (F) to make any filings, reports,
notices, applications, registrations with, and to seek any consents or
authorizations from, the Securities and Exchange Commission and any
state securities authority on behalf of the Issuer as may be necessary
or advisable to comply with any federal or state securities or
reporting requirements.
(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section
2.02(a)(ii), CAI shall maintain custody and possession of the
Receivable Files on behalf of, and as bailee for, Trustee (for
the benefit of the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties) (in
such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the
"Custodian").
(A) Custodian agrees to maintain possession of the related
Receivable Files at its offices where they are presently maintained,
at the offices of the related subservicers or at such other offices of
Custodian as shall from time to time be identified to Trustee by
written notice. Custodian shall segregate such Receivable Files from
other files maintained by Custodian and shall store such Receivable
Files in fireproof safes upon conversion to microfilm, which shall
occur as soon as practical after acquisition of the applicable
Receivable by the Issuer and in no event later than six (6) months
after such acquisition. Until such time as Trustee shall notify
Originator in writing, Trustee hereby appoints CAI, and CAI hereby
agrees to act, as Custodian hereunder. Custodian may temporarily
deliver individual Receivable Files or any portion thereof to Servicer
without notice as necessary to conduct collection and other servicing
activities in accordance with its customary practices and procedures.
(B) As custodian and bailee, Custodian shall hold the Receivable
Files (by itself and/or through subservicers) on behalf of Trustee
(for the benefit of the Secured Parties and, by agreeing to act as
Custodian, is deemed to have received notice of the security interests
of the Secured Parties in the Collateral), maintain accurate records
pertaining to each Receivable to enable it to comply with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, maintain a current inventory thereof
and conduct periodic physical inspections of Receivable Files held by
it under this Agreement and attend to all other details in connection
with maintaining custody of the Receivable Files.
(C) In performing its duties under this Section 2.02(a)(ii),
Custodian agrees to act with reasonable care, using that degree of
skill and care that it exercises with respect to similar contracts
owned and/or serviced by it. Custodian shall promptly report to
Trustee any material failure by it to hold the Receivable Files as
herein provided and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy
such failure. In acting as custodian of the Receivable Files,
Custodian agrees further not to assert, and shall cause each related
subservicer not to assert any beneficial ownership interests in the
Receivables. Custodian agrees to indemnify Trustee, the Secured
Parties and Issuer, and their respective officers, directors,
employees, partners and agents for any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, payments, costs, or expenses of any kind
whatsoever which may be
6
imposed on or incurred by any such Person arising from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Custodian in maintaining custody
of the Receivable Files pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)(ii);
provided, however, that Custodian will not be liable to the extent
that any such amount resulted from the negligence or willful
misconduct of such Person.
(D) The appointment of Custodian shall terminate at the sole
discretion of Trustee or at the direction of the Trustee acting at the
direction of the Required Noteholders upon the replacement of
Custodian by a successor Custodian selected by Trustee. Promptly
following the appointment of a successor Custodian, and in any event
within five days of such appointment, Custodian shall (at Custodian's
sole cost and expense if a Servicer Default shall have occurred or if
the Custodian shall have been removed for cause) deliver all of the
Receivable Files in its possession, and all records maintained by it
with respect thereto, to such successor Custodian.
(b) (i) Servicer shall service and administer the Receivables
on behalf of Issuer and Trustee (for the benefit of the Secured
Parties) and shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or
through subservicers as provided in Section 2.02(b)(iii), to do any
and all things which it may deem reasonably necessary or desirable in
connection with such servicing and administration and which are
consistent with this Agreement. Consistent with the terms of this
Agreement, Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any
Receivable or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with
any such term or in any manner, grant indulgence to any Obligor if, in
Servicer's reasonable determination, such waiver, modification,
postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the interests
of Issuer or Trustee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties);
provided, however, that Servicer may not permit any modification with
respect to any Receivable that would change its interest rate, defer
the payment of any principal or interest, reduce the Outstanding
Principal Balance (except for actual payments of principal), or extend
the final maturity date on such Receivable except in accordance with
the Credit and Collection Policy. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Servicer in its own name or in the name of Issuer is
hereby authorized and empowered by Issuer when Servicer believes it
appropriate in its best judgment to execute and deliver, on behalf of
Issuer, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Receivable.
(ii) Servicer shall service and administer the Receivables
by employing such procedures (including collection procedures)
and degree of care, in each case consistent with prudent industry
standards, as are customarily employed by Servicer in servicing
and administering contracts and notes owned or serviced by
Servicer comparable to the Receivables. Servicer shall not take
any action to impair Trustee's (for the benefit of the Secured
Parties) security interest in any Receivable, except to the
extent allowed pursuant to this Agreement or required by law.
7
(iii) Servicer may perform any of its duties pursuant to
this Agreement, including those delegated to it pursuant to this
Agreement, through subservicers appointed by Servicer. Such
subservicers may include Affiliates of Servicer. Notwithstanding
any such delegation of a duty, Servicer shall remain obligated
and liable for the performance of such duty as if Servicer were
performing such duty.
(iv) Servicer may take such actions as are necessary to
discharge its duties as Servicer in accordance with this
Agreement, including the power to execute and deliver on behalf
of Issuer such instruments and documents as may be customary,
necessary or desirable in connection with the performance of
Servicer's duties under this Agreement (including consents,
waivers and discharges relating to the Receivable).
(v) Servicer shall keep separate records covering the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement including the
identity and collection status of each Receivable purchased by
Issuer from the Originator.
(c) Collections. (i) On or prior to the Initial Closing Date,
Issuer and Servicer shall have established and shall maintain
thereafter the following system of collecting and processing
Collections of Receivables. The Obligors may make payments of
Receivables only (A) by check mailed to the Post Office Box (such
payments, upon receipt in such Post Office Box being referred to
herein as "Mail Payments"), (B) by cash, credit card or check
delivered in person or by phone at retail stores or other business
locations of Originator (such payments, upon receipt by such stores,
being referred to herein as "In-Store Payments") or (C) by cash,
credit card or check delivered in person or by phone at a service
center of CAI or, in the case of certain delinquent accounts, to
employees of CAI operating out of a service center of CAI (such
payments, upon receipt by the service center, being referred to herein
as "Field Collections").
(ii) Servicer's right of access to the Post Office Box
shall be revocable at the option of Trustee (acting in its own
discretion or at the direction of the Required Noteholders) upon
the occurrence of any Potential Pay Out Event, Pay Out Event or
Servicer Default. In addition, after the occurrence of any
Potential Pay Out Event, any Pay Out Event or any Servicer
Default, Servicer agrees that it shall, upon the written request
of Trustee, notify all Obligors under Receivables to make payment
thereof to (i) one or more bank accounts and/or post-office boxes
designated by Trustee and specified in such notice or (ii) any
successor Servicer appointed hereunder. The Trustee may, and
shall at the request of the Required Noteholders, if any
Potential Pay Out Event or Pay Out Event has occurred, require
the Servicer to establish a lockbox account pursuant to a lockbox
agreement acceptable to the Notice Persons, and to direct all
Obligors under Receivables to make payments to such lockbox
account.
8
(iii) Servicer shall remove or cause all Mail Payments to
be removed from the Post Office Box by the close of business on
each Business Day. Servicer shall process all such Mail Payments
and all Field Collections on the date received by recording the
amount of the payment received from the Obligor and the
applicable account number. Subject to Section 5.4(a) of the
Indenture, no later than the close of business on the second
Business Day following the date on which Mail Payments are
received in the Post Office Box or Field Collections are received
by Servicer, Servicer shall deposit or cause such Mail Payments
and such Field Collections to be deposited in the Collection
Account in the same form in which such payments are received.
Subject to Section 5.4(a) of the Indenture, Originator and
Servicer shall cause all In-Store Payments to be (i) processed as
soon as possible after such payments are received by Originator
or Servicer but in no event later than the Business Day after
such receipt, and (ii) deposited in the Collection Account no
later than two Business Days following the date of such receipt.
Subject to Section 5.4(a) of the Indenture, Servicer shall
deposit all Recoveries into the Collection Account within two
Business Days after the date of receipt of such Recoveries.
(iv) So long as no Potential Pay Out Event, Pay Out Event
or Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Servicer shall be permitted to transfer Available Cash on deposit
in the Principal Account for the purchase of Receivables by
Issuer pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or to repay the
Originator Notes solely to the extent that the principal amount
of such Originator Note was increased since the preceding Payment
Date.
(v) All Collections received by Originator or a Servicer
in respect of Receivables will, pending remittance to the
Collection Account as provided herein, be held by Originator or
such Servicer in trust for the exclusive benefit of Trustee and
shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of
Originator or Servicer except as otherwise permitted in
accordance with Section 5.4 of the Indenture. Only Collections
received by Originator or Servicer shall be deposited in the
Collection Account. Any funds held by Originator or Servicer
representing Collections of Receivables released from the
Principal Account as provided in Section 2.02(c)(iv) above shall
be held in trust by Originator or CAI for the benefit of Trustee
until such Collections are deposited into the Collection Account
in accordance with Section 5.4 of the Indenture.
(vi) Originator, Issuer and Servicer hereby irrevocably
waive any right to set off against, or otherwise deduct from, any
Collections.
(vii) Issuer and Servicer hereby transfer, assign, pledge,
set over and convey to Trustee all of their right, title and
interest in and to the Collection Account and the other Trust
Accounts.
9
(viii) All payments or other amounts collected or received
by Servicer in respect of a Receivable shall be applied to the
Outstanding Principal Balance of such Receivable and allocated
first to the amount of any outstanding Finance Charge Receivables
due in respect thereof and then to the amount of any Principal
Receivables due in respect thereof.
(d) If the Servicer is not the Issuer, CAI or an Affiliate of
the Issuer or CAI, the Servicer, by giving three (3) Business Days'
prior written notice to the Trustee, may revise the Servicing Fee;
provided that such revised Servicing Fee shall be a reasonable fee
agreed upon by the Servicer and the Notice Persons of each Series and
the Trustee on an arm's-length basis reflecting rates and terms
prevailing at such time.
(e) (i) On or before 120 days after the end of each calendar
year and on or before 90 days after the end of each July 31, the
Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent
public accountants (who may also render other services to the
Servicer, the Issuer or any Affiliates of the foregoing) to furnish to
the Issuer and the Trustee and the Enhancement Providers, (a) a report
in a format similar to Exhibit D attached hereto, to the effect that
they have (1) reviewed the Servicer's internal accounting control
procedures and processing functions relating to the Servicer's credit
policies and origination, collections, aging and charge-off functions,
(2) performed testing of a statistically significant sample of
Receivables and one Monthly Servicer Report (such Monthly Servicer
Report to be in a format similar to Exhibit A-1 attached hereto), and
describing the results of such review and testing, and (3) during such
review and testing, not discovered any deviations (other than those
described in the report) from the Credit and Collection Policy, and
(b) a report in a format similar to Exhibit D attached hereto to the
effect that they have applied certain procedures set forth in such
Exhibit agreed upon with the Servicer and the Notice Persons and
examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of
Receivables under this Agreement, and that, based upon such agreed
upon procedures, nothing has come to the attention of such accountants
that caused them to believe such servicing (including without
limitation, the allocation of Collections) has not been conducted in
compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in Article V of the
Indenture and Article V of each Series Supplement and/or the
appropriate subsections thereof (with respect to specific procedures
performed), except for such exceptions as they believe to be
immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such
statement. In addition, each report shall set forth the agreed upon
procedures performed.
(ii) The Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and the
Enhancement Providers on or before March 31 of each calendar
year, beginning with March 31, 2003, a certificate in
substantially the form of Exhibit B of an authorized officer of
the Servicer stating that (a) a review of the activities of the
Servicer during the preceding calendar year (or portion thereof,
as applicable) and of its performance under this Agreement was
made under the supervision of the officer signing such
10
certificate and (b) to the best of such officer's knowledge,
based on such review, the Servicer has fully performed in all
material respects all of its obligations under this Agreement and
each other applicable Transaction Document to which it is a party
throughout such period, or, if there has been a default in the
performance of any such obligation, specifying such default known
to such officer and the nature and status thereof.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article II, the Servicer, if not the Issuer, CAI or any Affiliate of
the Issuer or CAI, shall have no obligation to collect, enforce or
take any other action described in this Article II with respect to any
Indebtedness that is not included in the Trust Estate other than to

(c) No Change in Business or the Credit and Collection Policy.

of, any covenant or condition set forth in this Agreement with respect to such
Series, subject to Section 7.01 of this Agreement. For such purpose, the

OTHER MATTERS RELATING
TO THE SERVICER
Section 5.01 Liability of the Servicer. The Servicer hereby agrees to
perform any and all duties and obligations set forth in the Indenture or any
Series Supplement thereto that are specifically identified therein as duties of
the Servicer. Subject to the foregoing, the Servicer shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
undertaken by it in such capacity herein.
Section 5.02 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others. The
directors, officers, employees or agents who are natural persons of the Servicer
shall not be under any liability to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Noteholders,
any Enhancement Provider or any other Person hereunder or pursuant to any
document delivered hereunder for any action taken or for refraining from the
taking of any action, it being expressly understood that all such liability is
expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the
execution of this Agreement and any supplement hereto; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect
22
the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Servicer against any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Except as provided in this
Section 5.02 with respect to the Issuer and the Trustee, its officers,
directors, employees and agents, the Servicer shall not be under any liability
to the Issuer, the Trustee, its officers, directors, employees and agents, the
Noteholders or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the
taking of any action in its capacity as Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or
any supplement hereto; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect
the Servicer against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of
(x) willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of
duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties
hereunder or under any Series Supplement or (y) breach of the express terms of
any Transaction Document. The Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of
any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting
any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to
appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its
duties to service the Receivables or the other property in the Trust Estate in
accordance with this Agreement, the Indenture and any Series Supplement which in
its reasonable opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.
Section 5.03 Servicer Not to Resign. The Servicer shall not resign
from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination
that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under
applicable law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which such Servicer could
take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under
applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of any
Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by an Opinion of Counsel and
as to clause (ii) by a Conn Officer's Certificate of the Servicer, each to such
effect delivered, and satisfactory in form and substance, to the Notice Persons.
No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor
Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of such
Servicer in accordance with Section 2.01 hereof.
Section 5.04 Waiver of Defaults. Any default by the Servicer in the
performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences may be waived
pursuant to Section 7.01. Upon any such waiver of a default, such default shall
cease to exist, and any 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 thereon except to the
extent expressly so waived.

Section 11.9 of the Indenture, by written instrument, in duplicate,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee.

powers, duties and obligations under the Indenture and hereunder.

prior to the date it is required by law to be distributed to Noteholders. Except

this Section 6.02, in no event shall the Servicer be liable for any liabilities,
costs or expenses of the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Note Owners arising
under any tax law, including without limitation federal, state, local or foreign
income or excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income or
gross receipts (or any interest or penalty with respect thereto or arising from
a failure to comply therewith).

(a) This Agreement may be amended in writing from time to time
by the Issuer, the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of
any of the Noteholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or
supplement any provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any
other provisions herein, to add any other provisions with respect to

(b) Any provision of this Agreement may also be amended,
supplemented, modified or waived in writing from time to time by the

Persons of each outstanding Series for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of
Noteholders of any Series then issued and outstanding; provided,

consent of each Holder of Notes of all Series adversely affected or
(iv) result in a reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings
of any outstanding Notes of such Series by any Rating Agency. The

amendment which adversely affects the Trustee's rights, duties or

Enhancement Provider and to each Rating Agency providing a rating for

under this Section 7.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of
evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders
shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may
prescribe.
(e) In connection with any amendment, the Trustee may request an
Opinion of Counsel (from an external law firm) from the Servicer to

Agreement, except that such counsel shall not be required to opine on
factual matters.

documents covering the Noteholders and the Trustee's right, title and
interest to the Trust Estate to be promptly recorded, registered and
filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all
in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to

Indenture for the benefit of the Secured Parties) on the property
comprising the Trust Estate. The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee
file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded,
registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following
such recording, registration or filing. The Seller shall cooperate

25
(b) The Servicer will give the Trustee prompt written notice of
any relocation of any office from which it services the Receivables
and Related Security or keeps records concerning such items or of its
principal executive office and whether, as a result of such
relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the
filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or
continuation statement or of any new financing statement and shall
file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to
continue the Trustee's security interest in the Trust Estate and the
proceeds thereof for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Servicer

Receivables, Related Security and other property in its possession and
part of the Trust Estate and its principal executive office within the
