To the extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, as certified in an Officer's Certificate to the Master Servicer, documents maintained by the Servicer may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable means of recreating original documents by electronic means, including but not limited to, optical imagery techniques so long as the Servicer complies with the requirements of all Applicable Laws. (c) Each Receivable File shall be maintained by the Servicer at one of the locations specified in Exhibit B attached hereto or such other location in the United States as specified by the Servicer by written notice to the Master Servicer not later than ninety (90) days prior to any change in location. The Servicer shall also make available to the Master Servicer or its designee a current list of the locations of the Receivable Files upon written request. The Servicer shall maintain with respect to the Receivables and shall make available for inspection by Master Servicer or its designee the related Receivable Files without charge during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer and shall permit Master Servicer or its designee to make copies of and obtain abstracts from the Receivable Files, in each case during the time the Issuer retains ownership of a Receivable and thereafter in accordance with Applicable Law. (d) As sub-custodian on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to the receivable files relating to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that the Servicer services for itself or others. The Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic internal audits of the Receivable Files held by it under this Agreement and of the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Master Servicer to verify the accuracy of the Servicer's record keeping. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Master Servicer any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Master Servicer of the Receivable Files. (e) The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems, in accordance with its customary standards, policies and procedures, so that, from and after the time of conveyance of the Receivables to the Purchaser, the Servicer's master computer records (including any back-up archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the Purchaser in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by the Purchaser through a unique identification code that is reflected on the records of the Servicer and set forth in each Receivables Schedule as being owned by the Purchaser and through marking of the Receivable pursuant to Section 2.04. The unique identification code which Servicer shall use is "GL type code 308" and the "REIT" identifier as set forth in the Assignment for each Receivables Pool delivered pursuant to the -12- Purchase Agreement and the applicable Assignment (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Servicer shall have the right to change such code upon written notice to Purchaser, provided that such new code is a unique identification code. The Servicer shall take no action to remove, alter or obliterate any stamp placed on a Receivable that consists of tangible chattel paper to show the ownership of any Receivable by the Purchaser or the Issuer. Indication of the Issuer's ownership of a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer's computer systems or from the contract itself when, and only when, the Receivable shall have been paid in full (or within $25 thereof), transferred to a successor or assign of Issuer (in which case the Servicer shall cause its records to indicate the interest and ownership of such successor or assign), or repurchased by the Seller in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement or purchased by the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (f) In the event the Receivable Files held by the Servicer are destroyed due to fire or other casualty, the Servicer will bear the responsibility for (i) having new titles issued for each Financed Vehicle and providing printed copies of the destroyed title from the Servicer's imaging system which shall remain in the Receivable File until such new titles are received, (ii) replacing each Receivable (by printing a copy thereof held on the Servicer's imaging system), and (iii) creating a Lost Note Affidavit to accompany each replaced Receivable, certifying that the original Receivable was destroyed; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event any additional document is needed in order to service the Receivable, the Servicer shall print a copy thereof from its imaging system. All costs incurred in connection with this clause (f) shall be paid by the Servicer and the Servicer shall indemnify the Master Servicer and the Issuer for any losses suffered by the Master Servicer and the Issuer as a result of the loss or destruction of the original Receivable Files. (g) Upon written instruction from the Issuer or the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall release any Receivable File to the Master Servicer at such place or places as the Master Servicer may designate, as soon as practicable (but in no event more than five (5) days after the date of such instruction) and the Issuer or the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Servicer for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any such delivery. Upon the release and delivery of any such document in accordance with the instructions of the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall be released from any further liability and responsibility with respect to such documents and any other provision of this Agreement if the fulfillment of the Servicer's responsibilities is dependent upon possession of such documents, unless and until such time as such documents shall be returned to the Servicer. In no event shall the Servicer be responsible for any loss occasioned by the Master Servicer's failure to return any Receivable File or any portion thereof in a timely manner. (h) At any time, with or without cause, the Master Servicer shall have the right to immediately remove any or all Receivable Files from the property of the Servicer and cause a third party designated by the Master Servicer (the "THIRD PARTY CUSTODIAN") to maintain custody of such Receivables Files as agent for the benefit of the Master Servicer at such location or locations as shall be approved by the Master Servicer. Any costs associated with the transfer of the Receivable Files in connection with this clause (j) and all fees and expenses incurred by the Third Party Custodian as custodian pursuant to this clause (j) shall be paid by the Master Servicer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event such transfer occurs after the occurrence of an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would become a Servicer -13- Termination Event under Section 10.01(a), such costs shall be paid by the Servicer. Although any removal of the Receivables Files is likely to cause some disruption to the Servicer's business operations, the Master Servicer shall, and shall cause the Third Party Custodian to, cooperate with the Servicer in a commercially reasonable manner, consistent with the prompt removal of such Receivables Files, to minimize any disruptions to the Servicer's business operations. Upon such transfer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to cause the Third Party Custodian to hold all Receivable Files, as custodian, for the exclusive use and benefit of the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer's successors and assigns, and shall make disposition thereof only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the written instructions of the Master Servicer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Master Servicer, pursuant to agreement with or written instructions to the Third Party Custodian, shall require the Third Party Custodian, with normal and customary promptness after receipt of a written or electronic request by the Servicer in a form mutually acceptable to the Third Party Custodian and the Servicer, to release to the Servicer, at the Master Servicer's expense, a Receivable File (or portion thereof) to the place indicated in any such written or electronic request from the Servicer (i) as required by the Servicer for the servicing of the related Receivable or (ii) upon repurchase of the related Receivable by the Seller or Servicer. All Receivable Files (or portions thereof) released to the Servicer as required by the Servicer for the servicing of a Receivable shall be held by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Master Servicer, and the Servicer shall return to the Third Party Custodian the Receivable File (or portion thereof), at the Master Servicer's expense, when the Servicer's need therefor in connection with servicing the related Receivable no longer exists. The Servicer shall not be liable for any delay in performing or failure to perform any obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement to the extent resulting from any delay in receiving or failure to receive a Receivable File from the Third Party Custodian. Section 2.03 PROTECTION OF RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST. The Servicer covenants and agrees with the Master Servicer as follows: (a) If at any time the Servicer shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle loan and installment sale contracts to any prospective purchaser, lender, or other transferee, the Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender, or other transferee computer tapes, records, or print-outs (including any restored from back-up archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate that such Receivable has been conveyed to and is owned by the Purchaser. (b) Except as provided herein, the Servicer will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer any Conveyed Asset (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) to any Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any interest therein, and the Servicer shall defend the right, title, and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under such Conveyed Assets against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller. -14- ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; REMEDIES AND BREACH Section 3.01 BANK REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

(ix) NO LITIGATION PENDING.

ARTICLE VI ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES Section 4.01 SERVICER. (a) From and after the Closing Date, the Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall manage, service, administer and make Collections on the Receivables in such Receivables Pool and perform the other actions required by the Servicer under this Agreement, all in accordance with all Applicable Laws. The Servicer's duties include, but are not limited to, collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of the Obligors on such -16- Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for Collections, preparing tax forms required by any federal, state or local tax authority, if any, furnishing the Servicer Reports and annual statements required pursuant to Sections 5.02 and 6.03 and making Monthly Advances pursuant to Section 5.03. The Servicer will service the Receivables in accordance with the servicing standard set forth in Exhibit G or in the event that Exhibit G does not specify a standard with respect to a particular servicing function, in accordance with its usual and customary procedures consistent with the procedures employed by institutions that service motor vehicle retail installment contracts or motor vehicle installment loan notes for their own account or for the account of third parties (the foregoing, the "SERVICING STANDARD"). (b) The Servicer may, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, grant extensions on a Receivable with respect to a Receivable for which the related Obligor is delinquent for failure of payment. The Servicer shall not grant more than one (1) extension on such Receivable in any calendar year and not more than three (3) extensions on any such Receivable and shall not extend the date for the final payment by any Obligor of any Receivable beyond six (6) months of the original final payment date of such Receivable, the Servicer shall promptly purchase such Receivable in the manner provided in Section 6.01(b). As necessary to maximize collections on the Receivables and in accordance with its Servicing Standards, the Servicer may in its discretion waive any Late Fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable. The use of a pass-a-payment coupon shall not be considered an extension on a Receivable pursuant to this Section 4.01(b). (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and Financed Vehicles. If the Servicer commences a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Purchaser will 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 is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the Servicer may, with the prior written approval of the Purchaser, maintain such enforcement suit or legal proceeding in the name of the Purchaser or an affiliate. If reasonably required by the Servicer, the Purchaser shall furnish the Servicer, with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement. (d) The Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Purchaser and its successors and assigns. The Servicer is hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Purchaser and its successors and assigns in the event of the relocation of the related Financed Vehicle, or for any other reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Servicer, shall have no obligation to audit the perfection or re-perfection of security interests in the Financed Vehicles; and (ii) the Seller shall have no obligation to perfect or re-perfect unless it is aware that perfection or re-perfection is necessary. -17- (e) Except as permitted by the Servicing Standard, the Servicer shall not (i) release the Financed Vehicle securing each Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except in the event of payment in full (or within $25 thereof) by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or repossession, (ii) impair the rights of the Purchaser in the Receivables, (iii) change the Contract Rate with respect to any Receivable, or (iv) modify the Principal Balance or the total number of originally scheduled due dates of any Receivable. (f) The Servicer shall comply with Applicable Law in connection with the satisfaction of a Receivable and the release of Receivable Files. (g) With respect to any Financed Vehicle that is not covered by a VSI Policy and as to which the Obligor fails to maintain Vehicle Insurance, the Servicer shall obtain a CPI Policy in respect of such Financed Vehicle and shall administer such CPI Policy in accordance with (x) any generally applicable program or policies of the Servicer with respect to creditor-placed insurance, (y) all Applicable Laws and (z) the terms of the applicable Receivable. (h) The Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the other Party, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach by the Servicer of Section 4.01(b), (d) or (e). If such breach is curable and the Servicer shall have timely commenced such cure but notwithstanding its due and diligent efforts, the breach shall not be capable of cure within sixty (60) days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Servicer of such breach, the Servicer shall, upon receipt of written consent by the Master Servicer, have up to two additional thirty (30) day periods to effectuate the cure (up to an aggregate total of 120 days) so long as it is acting in good faith to effectuate such cure. If such cure is not effectuated after 120 days (or within sixty (60) or ninety (90) days, if the applicable extension was not granted by the Master Servicer), the Servicer shall purchase the Receivable affected by such breach at the Receivable Repurchase Price by deposit of the Receivable Repurchase Price on the next Remittance Date. The sole remedy of the Master Servicer with respect to a breach pursuant to Section 4.01(b), (d) or (e) shall be limited to the purchase of Receivables in accordance with this clause (h) and the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 8.01. The provisions of this Section 4.01(h) shall be subject to Section 10.01(e). (i) The Servicer and the Master Servicer each agree that, should any Governmental Authority with bank regulatory powers find that the terms of this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Receivables constitute an unsafe and unsound condition with respect the Servicer, and such Governmental Authority notifies the Servicer of such finding, then the Servicer and the Master Servicer shall negotiate in mutual good faith to correct any such deficiencies and to bring this Agreement into compliance with Applicable Law. Section 4.02 REALIZATION OF RECEIVABLES. (a) In the event that any payment due under any Receivable is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the related Obligor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Receivable and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as (i) it would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar motor vehicle retail installment contract or motor vehicle installment loan note held for its own account for investment, (ii) shall be consistent with Servicing -18- Standard, and (iii) it shall determine prudently to be in the best interest of Purchaser. In connection herewith, the Servicer shall from its own funds make all necessary and proper Servicing Advances, subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.04(c)(ii); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall not be construed to require Servicer to undertake repossession, restoration or preservation of any Financed Vehicle, unless the Servicer shall determine (x) that such preservation, restoration and/or repossession will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Receivable to Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (y) that expenses in connection with such repossession, restoration or repossession will be recoverable either through Liquidation Proceeds or through Insurance Proceeds. (b) In connection with any Deficiency Balance, the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standards will (A)(i) pursue collection of the deficiency for a period of no more than 120 days, which may be extended an additional 60 days if, in the Servicer's reasonable judgment such extension will maximize recovery of the Deficiency Balance and then (ii) refer the related account to (x) its routinely preferred third party collector or (y) such other third party collector as approved by the Master Servicer (the entity hired pursuant to clause (x) or (y), the "Collector"), which will pursue collection of such Deficiency Balance; or (B) refer the related account directly to the Collector as provided in (A)(ii) above, if, in the Servicer's reasonable judgment referral of such account to the Collector will maximize recovery of the Deficiency Balance. In the event the Servicer refers the related account to the Collector, the Servicer shall no longer remain obligated or be liable to any other party for the collection of such Receivable. The Servicer shall, in accordance with Section 5.01, remit to the Master Servicer any amounts collected by it or remitted to it by the Collector (from which the Collector may net a portion of the Collector's costs, expenses and other charges not to exceed an amount equal to 40% of the recovery amount prior to deducting such costs, expenses and charges) in regards to such Deficiency Balance. Section 4.03 COMMINGLING OF COLLECTIONS RELATED TO THE RECEIVABLES. (a) For so long as the Servicer's short term senior unsecured debt rating remains A-1 (by S&P) and P-1 (by Moody's) or better or, if the Master Servicer otherwise agrees with respect to some or all of the Receivables, the Servicer shall be permitted to commingle all Collections relating to the Receivables received in the immediately preceding Collection Period with its own corporate funds. (b) In the event the Servicer's short term ratings fall below A-1 or P-1, as the case may be, the Servicer shall within five (5) calendar days of such ratings downgrade deliver all Collections in its possession relating to the Receivables to an account designated by the Master Servicer. Thereafter, the Servicer shall remit to the account so designated all Collections relating to the Receivables within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof. Amounts in such account with respect to a Collection Period shall remain on deposit therein until the related Remittance Date and the Master Servicer agrees that it shall cause to be remitted to the Servicer on each Remittance Date, solely from Collections deposited in such account, amounts which the Servicer is entitled to receive or retain for itself (in respect of fees, reimbursement of expenses or advances or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. -19- Section 4.04 PERMITTED RETENTION OF COLLECTIONS BY THE SERVICER. (a) As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled in accordance with the Purchase Agreement to retain from the interest portion of Monthly Payments collected or the interest portion of Liquidation Proceeds received on the Receivables the amount of its servicing fees in accordance with the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that the servicing fees payable to Servicer from Collections with respect to the Receivables shall not exceed 1.00% per annum, and any additional servicing fee amounts payable to Servicer under the Purchase Agreement shall be paid by the Master Servicer. To the extent the interest portions are insufficient to pay the full amount of the servicing fee in a particular month, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain the interest portions of Monthly Payments collected and Liquidation Proceeds received in subsequent months to recover the unpaid portion. As additional servicing compensation, the Seller shall be entitled to receive all Late Fees with respect to the Receivables serviced pursuant to this Agreement and all interest accrued on any funds held by the Servicer constituting Collections of any of the Receivables. (b) The Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except to the extent specifically provided for herein. (c) On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall retain amounts that constitute Collections on the Receivables for the following purposes: (i) to reimburse itself out of Interest Collections for Monthly Advances of the Servicer's funds made pursuant to Section 5.03. (ii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances; provided that such reimbursement with respect to any Receivable shall be limited to Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Deficiency Balance recoveries with respect to such Receivable. (iii) to reimburse itself out of Interest Collections for unpaid servicing fees for the Receivables Pool. Section 4.05 ERRORS AND OMISSIONS INSURANCE. The Servicer, shall maintain, at its own expense, an errors and omissions insurance policy on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Receivables to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Receivables, which policy shall protect and insure the Servicer, against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such errors and omissions insurance policy shall also protect and insure the Servicer, against losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a Receivables without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.05 requiring such errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such errors and omission policy may have a deductible consistent with prudent corporate practice. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall limit any of the Servicer's indemnification obligations under this Agreement. -20- Section 4.06 REMITTANCE OF HNB GAP AMOUNTS. (a) The Seller has agreed under the Purchase Agreement to handle all claims of Obligors in connection with HNB GAP for any Receivable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, if the Servicer has been notified by the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement that the Seller has determined that all or some portion of the Principal Balance of a Receivable is required to be cancelled pursuant to HNB GAP in effect for such Receivable, the Servicer shall take the appropriate steps to reduce the Principal Balance of such Receivable by the GAP Amount, and such reduction shall not be a violation of any other provision of this Agreement. The Servicer shall hold all amounts remitted by the Seller in respect of GAP Amounts in accordance with Section 4.03, and shall remit such amount to the Issuer or the Master Servicer on the immediately following Remittance Date, or as otherwise required by Section 4.03. (b) The Master Servicer agrees that it shall have no right to collect from the Obligor the amount of any GAP Amount that the Seller has determined pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to be applicable to any Receivable as described in the preceding paragraph, and that Master Servicer shall not, on its own or through any agent, attempt to collect any GAP Amount from any Obligor. ARTICLE V PAYMENTS TO PURCHASER Section 5.01 REMITTANCES. (a) On each Remittance Date, the Servicer, shall remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Master Servicer at the wire transfer instructions set forth on Exhibit K (or as otherwise directed by the Master Servicer from time to time in writing) all amounts constituting Collections on Receivables for the related Collection Period, as determined on the related Determination Date (net of amounts retained pursuant to Section 4.04 as of such date). (b) With respect to any remittance received by the Master Servicer after the Business Day on which such payment was due, the Servicer, shall pay to the Master Servicer interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each charge, plus two percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. Such interest shall be paid by the Servicer, to the Master Servicer on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the Business Day on which such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next succeeding Remittance Date. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Servicer Termination Event. -21- Section 5.02 SERVICER REPORTS. (a) By no later than the First Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer a copy of each monthly remittance report (collectively, the "Servicer Reports") listed in Exhibit F-3 and each Servicer Report shall be substantially in the applicable form set forth in Exhibit F-4 and be satisfactory to the Master Servicer. (b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer each of the Servicer Reports listed in Exhibit F-3 attached hereto, with respect to Collections for the preceding Collection Period, in hard copy or electronic format as mutually agreed by the Servicer and the Master Servicer and each Servicer Report shall contain a certification from an Officer of the Servicer regarding the accuracy of the information contained therein. Section 5.03 MONTHLY ADVANCES BY SERVICER. On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit from its own funds or from amounts held for future distribution an amount equal to the interest portion of all Monthly Payments that were (i) due on the Receivables during the applicable Collection Period and that were delinquent at the close of business on the last day of the Collection Period immediately preceding such Remittance Date or (ii) not due during the applicable Collection Period because payment in the Collection Period was deferred by the Servicer (including for this purpose, any extension made in connection with a pass-a-payment coupon). Any amounts held for future distribution used in the manner provided in the preceding sentence shall be reimbursed by the Servicer on or before any future Remittance Date, if funds available on such Remittance Date shall be less than payments required to be made to the Master Servicer on such Remittance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be permitted to make any Monthly Advances pursuant to this Section 5.03 from amounts held for future distribution, and instead shall be required to make all Monthly Advances from its own funds, unless the Servicer shall have a long-term credit rating of at least "A" by Standard & Poor's and "A2" by Moody's. The Servicer's obligation to make such Monthly Advances as to any Receivable shall continue through the earlier to occur of (i) the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Receivable or (ii) the last Remittance Date prior to the Remittance Date for the distribution of all Liquidation Proceeds and other payments or recoveries (including Insurance Proceeds) with respect to the Receivable; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if requested by a Rating Agency in connection with a Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer shall be obligated to make such Monthly Advances through the Remittance Date prior to the date on which cash is received in connection with the liquidation of the related Financed Vehicle; PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that the obligation to pay Monthly Advances shall cease if the Servicer determines, in its sole reasonable opinion, that advances with respect to such Receivable are non-recoverable by the Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise from amounts allocable to interest with respect to a particular Receivable. -22- ARTICLE VI GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES Section 6.01 SATISFACTION OF RECEIVABLES AND RELEASE OF RECEIVABLE FILES.

To the extent that insufficient payments are received on a Receivable credited by the Servicer as prepaid or paid in full and satisfied, the shortfall shall be paid by the Servicer out of its own funds if the shortfall is in excess of $25. (b) If the Servicer (I) satisfies or releases the Collateral securing a Receivable without first having either (x) obtained voluntary payment in full (or within $25 of payment in full) of the indebtedness secured by the Collateral or (y) repossessed and liquidated such Collateral, or (II)(x) otherwise prejudices any rights the Purchaser may have under the Collateral securing a Receivable (in addition to the rights of the Purchaser in connection therewith set forth in Section 4.01(h)) or (y) extends or otherwise amends the terms of the Receivable (including any change of the Contract Rate applicable to any Receivable or the Principal Balance or the total number of originally scheduled due dates of any Receivable), except as provided in Sections 4.01(b) and 4.01(e), upon written demand of the Issuer or the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall repurchase the related Receivable at the Receivable Repurchase Price and remit such amount to the Issuer on the next Remittance Date.

(c) Promptly after the Servicer obtains knowledge thereof, the Servicer shall furnish to the Master Servicer notice of any material litigation relating to the Bank or any material investigation or proceeding which may exist at any time between the Bank and any Governmental Authority which, in either case, would have an impact on the Receivables or on the Bank's ability to act as Servicer hereunder with respect to the Receivables. (d) The Servicer shall execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Master Servicer may reasonably request from time to time, in order to effectuate the purposes, and to carry out the terms, of this Agreement.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.01(e), the Servicer shall indemnify each Servicer Indemnified Party and hold each Servicer Indemnified Party harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any Servicer Indemnified Party may sustain in any way related to (A) the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties as servicer and custodian and to service the Receivables in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, (B) the provision to the Master Servicer, any other Servicer Indemnified Party, any rating agency, any investor or any other participant in the Pass-Through Transfer of any Bank Information (other than Distorted Information), including all such information included in any offering document, term sheet or marketing materials relating to the Pass-Through Transfer and all such information included in an Exchange Act report or filing make by the Purchaser or any transferee under the Pass-Through Transfer, that is false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when delivered, (C) the breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or other agreement of Servicer set forth in this Agreement, (D) the use, ownership or operation by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof of a Financed Vehicle or (E) any actual or alleged violations of law, breach of contract or tort by the Servicer in obtaining any CPI Policy for any Financed Vehicle. (b) The Servicer or the Servicer Indemnified Party, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other upon becoming aware that a claim subject to indemnification under Section 8.01(a) (a "SERVICER INDEMNIFIED CLAIM") has been made by a third party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure of the Servicer Indemnified Party to notify the Servicer of a Servicer Indemnified Claim shall not relieve the Servicer from any liability under Section 8.01(a) which it may have to any Servicer Indemnified Party, but only to the extent such failure to notify does not prejudice the Servicer's ability to defend. The Servicer shall assume the defense of any such Servicer Indemnified Claim and be responsible for all fees and expenses of counsel incurred therewith as well as any other litigation expenses; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT counsel chosen by the Servicer shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer; and PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that at any time the Servicer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, hire counsel (who shall not, except with the consent of the Servicer, be counsel to the Servicer) and, jointly with the Servicer, assume the defense thereof. The Servicer shall not be liable to the Servicer Indemnified Party for the cost of the Servicer Indemnified Party's counsel. If, in connection with any Servicer Indemnified Claim, the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Servicer and the Servicer Indemnified Party, and counsel retained by the Servicer cannot adequately represent both the Servicer and the Servicer Indemnified Party in light of the claims and defenses that each intends to raise, the Servicer Indemnified Party shall have the right to hire separate counsel to assume the defense of any such Servicer Indemnified Claim and the Servicer shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of such separate counsel incurred therewith as well as any other litigation expense. The Servicer shall not, without the written consent of the Servicer Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any -26- pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Servicer Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Servicer Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act, by or on behalf of the Servicer Indemnified Party. (c) To the extent the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.01 is unavailable to a Servicer Indemnified Party or is insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that are subject to such provisions, then the Servicer, in lieu of indemnifying such Servicer Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Servicer Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Bank on one hand and the Master Servicer on the other hand with respect to the facts and circumstances giving rise to such Servicer Indemnified Claim. The relative fault with respect to any Servicer Indemnified Claim arising out of a violation of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to the Servicer's relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Servicer and the Master Servicer agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentences. The amount paid or payable by the Servicer as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth otherwise in this Section 8.01, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Servicer Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not also guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. (d) The indemnification obligations of the Servicer under Section 8.01(a) shall survive the assignment and transfer of the Receivables in connection with the Pass-Through Transfer, the termination of the Servicer and the termination of this Agreement and shall be in addition to any liability which it may otherwise have. Section 8.02 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF THE SERVICER. The Servicer shall preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Receivables and to perform its duties under this Agreement. Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of either Party, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section -27- 3.01(a) shall have been breached (for purposes hereof, the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01(a)(i) through (ix) shall speak as of the date of consummation of such transaction) and no event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Master Servicer an Officer's Certificate and Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and any such related agreements comply with this Section 8.02 and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with and (iii) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Master Servicer an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Purchaser and its successors and assigns in the Receivables or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest. Furthermore, in the event the Servicer transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets to an Affiliate of the Servicer, such Affiliate shall satisfy the condition described in the preceding sentence and shall also be fully liable to the Purchaser for all of the Servicer's obligations and liabilities hereunder. Section 8.03 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF SERVICER AND OTHERS. Neither the Servicer, nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer, shall be under any liability to the Master Servicer or any other Person for taking any action or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this Section 8.03 shall not protect the Servicer from (i) any obligation to repurchase any Receivable where the remedy under this Agreement with respect to any breach of warranties or representations in this Agreement is to require Servicer to repurchase such Receivable; (ii) any obligation to indemnify any Servicer Indemnified Party for any matters indemnified under Section 8.01(a); (iii) actual damages for breach of this Agreement that would constitute a Servicer Termination Event under Section 10.01(a)(i) or (ii); or (iv) any right of the Master Servicer to terminate the Servicer for a Servicer Termination Event as specified in Section 10.01. The Servicer, and any director, officer, employee or agent of 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; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the Servicer be liable to Master Servicer or any other Person for any consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, except to the extent awarded to a third party with respect to any matters indemnified under Section 8.01(a). Section 8.04 LIMITATION ON RESIGNATION AND ASSIGNMENT BY SERVICER. (a) The Master Servicer has entered into this Agreement with the Servicer, and subsequent permitted purchasers or transferees pursuant to the Pass-Through Transfer will purchase the Receivables, in reliance upon the representations as to the adequacy of Servicer's servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the continuance thereof. Therefore, the Servicer shall neither assign this Agreement or its the servicing or custodial obligations hereunder, nor delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion hereof. (b) The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Master Servicer or upon the -28- determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under Applicable Law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer. No resignation under this Section 8.04 shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 12.01, unless the Servicer is prohibited by Applicable Law from serving as Servicer, in which instance the Master Servicer shall immediately designate a successor Servicer. ARTICLE IX PASS-THROUGH TRANSFER Section 9.01 EFFECT OF PASS-THROUGH TRANSFER.

EARLY STAGE DELINQUENCY: Utilize the Servicer's STRATA Decisioning System including any Behavior Scoring System and updated FICO scores to assign collection strategies as specified herein. Loans will have phone G-2 calls start as early as 1 day past due depending on the account level strategy. First payment default loans must be called between the fifth and tenth day.

Customer contact inquiries will be made to determine and provide the reason(s) for default including but not limited to status of employment and household income, any insurance claims in process, status of insurance on and location and condition of collateral if applicable. Collection actions and contact attempts will be taken in accordance with collection strategies as often as necessary and at various times of the day, evening, and weekend in compliance with applicable law. Accounts with no contact after 10 days (or earlier, if there is no phone number in service for the related Account) will be escalated to manual review to determine on-going strategy. If account has still not been contacted through the dialer, account will be assigned to an off-dialer collection resource for the purpose of direct scheduled calling sequence which may include a targeted call period (evenings, weekends, breaks, etc.). This process will occur approximately 17-20 days after scheduled due date. At any stage (either by on-dialer recognition or through off-dialer review) the account can be forwarded to an off-dialer resource or to a supervisor. No promise in excess of ten days will be allowed. An account is currently considered a broken promise 3 days after the date made. Advanced collection resources will become involved if the customer has broken an existing promise to pay. These resources will work the account within two business days after the broken promise. In special circumstances, the account can be issued directly to supervisor for review for repossession, or to the skip department for advance location review. Broken promises are sent to a specific queue and will be prioritized in CACS to maximize the next day call rate. Skip tracing will commence as soon as indicated (telephone disconnected, mail returned), and no later than 10 days after no contact. Making borrower contacts attempts based on information obtained through methods such as credit reports, internet services, place of employment and co-signer information, door knocks, etc. If all account information is still considered to be valid, account will be placed back into the dialer for 2nd random call sequencing. MID-STAGE AND FRONT-END COLLECTIONS: A supervisor reviews most accounts that progress to beyond 30-days delinquent, or that have been referred to the supervisor by the collector due to an adverse situation or unacceptable customer request. No accounts (other than, potentially, accounts with a balance of less than $2,500) will remain in front-end collections for longer than 45 days. For accounts 30 or more days past due, continued regular phone attempts to contact the Borrower will be made. Customers 30 or more days past due will be requested to send payments via overnight mail or through an automatic payment service. Exclusive of any on-line automated late notices, the collection resource will have the ability to generate an on-line collection letter to the debtor. These notices to range from a friendly G-3 reminder to a firm demand letter based upon the severity of the delinquency and the history of the account. Account will remain in the collection resource's queue with a follow-up code. This code will only be changed if the customer makes a payment, or the collection resource performs an action on the account. Accounts are typically sorted based upon the oldest follow-up date and the outstanding balance of delinquency. Account follow-up should not exceed two days without the account being reviewed. Between the 45th and 60th day of delinquency of accounts where no payment arrangements have been made, Servicer will order a current credit bureau report if appropriate, verify title lien if applicable, and value of collateral if applicable and order a copy of the Contract as needed. The supervisor can submit the account for repossession during the standard review process, or during special request by the off-dialer collection resource. This will occur when the account has progressed to approximately 55 days, but no more than 70 days contractually delinquent, but may occur at any time based upon the supervisor's/portfolio manager's determination. ADVANCE COLLECTIONS: Late Stage Collectors will be dedicated to collect on accounts at or near 45 days contractually delinquent. No more than 200 accounts will be assigned to any one Late Stage Collector at any one time. Advance collections include: o Accounts that are skip and cannot be located o Accounts that have broken multiple promises to pay without activity by the customer o Accounts that are out for repossession or liquidation o Accounts with pending insurance activity For most accounts that becomes 60 days past due, a supervisor shall review the account and determine and execute a collection strategy. Strategies will be based upon the borrowers ability to pay, delinquency status, payment history and the asset's value/location. If it is not conceivable that arrangements can be made to bring the customer current over a period of time through a repayment plan or extension (in accordance with the agreed upon procedures), the supervisor will submit the account to the collateral management group for review for asset liquidation. The account is placed into a special queue, where a mini-skip routine is performed to secure the whereabouts of the asset prior to assigning the account for repossession. This process is designed to expedite the recovery and sale process, and minimizes acquisition and storage costs. The collector will examine the collateral type and value, and make an evaluation as to the time necessary to liquidate the asset, and estimate the potential selling price prior to the final decision to liquidate. G-4 Servicer will charge off accounts from the Servicer Loan Accounting System at the earliest of: i) when the account is deemed uncollectible, or ii) when the asset has been sold and proceeds received, or iii) 60 days after repossession, if the asset is still in inventory, or iv) by the end of the month during which a loan becomes 120 days past due and is not in repossession inventory, or v) by the end of the month during which a loan becomes 180 days past due.

In cases of loan default and charge offs only, Servicer will apply for and use reasonable efforts to realize upon insurance proceeds, including GAP insurance and rebates on insurance and warranty policies in order to mitigate the loss incurred. In all other cases, customers will be directed to the originating dealership for cancellations, refunds, and all other insurance and warranty matters. Accounts in repossession and bankruptcy status remain in special queues that are not accessed by the general collection resources unless redemption, reaffirmation, dismissal, or other action has occurred which would qualify the account for general collection processing. REPOSSESSION: Servicer will provide a repossession and remarketing network and contract with such third party service providers. Contracts assigned for repossession shall be handled in accordance with the following standards and procedures: o Verify lien on title. o Order copy of contract and original title, if appropriate. o Complete assignment to repossessor with borrower and collateral information within 48 hours of receipt in repossession department. o Follow up with repossessor on progress weekly. o Continue to attempt contact and payment arrangements with borrower. o When contacted by repossessor that property has been repossessed, obtain condition report, storage location and costs. o Follow state requirements regarding borrower notification and redemption or reinstatement periods. o If appropriate, negotiate redemption, notify storage lot of redemption and terms.
