Each of such documents which is required to be signed by the Obligor has been signed by the Obligor in the appropriate spaces. All blanks on any form have been properly filled in and each form has otherwise been correctly prepared in all material respects. The complete Custodian File for each Receivable is currently in the possession of the Custodian. 10 (xiv) Receivables in Force. No Receivable has been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, and the Financed Vehicle securing each such Receivable has not been released from the Lien of the related Receivable in whole or in part. No provisions of any Receivable have been waived, altered or modified in any respect since its origination, except by instruments or documents identified in the Custodian File held by the Custodian and in accordance with the Collection Policy in all material respects. No Receivable has been modified as a result of application of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended. (xv) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable was originated in, or is subject to the laws of any jurisdiction, the laws of which would make unlawful, void or voidable the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable under this Agreement, the Contribution Agreement or the Indenture. The Depositor has not entered into any agreement with any account debtor that prohibits, restricts or conditions the assignment of any portion of the Receivables. Each Receivable, by its terms, is assignable. (xvi) Good Title. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Depositor to any Person other than the Issuer. Immediately prior to the conveyance of the Receivables to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Depositor was the sole owner thereof and had good and indefeasible title thereto, free of any Lien and, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement and the applicable Depositor Assignment by the Depositor, the Issuer shall have good and indefeasible title to and will be the sole owner of such Receivables, free of any Lien. No Dealer has a participation in, or other right to receive, proceeds of any Receivable. The Depositor has not taken any action to convey any right to any Person that would result in such Person having a right to payments received under the related Insurance Policies or the related Dealer Agreements or to payments due under such Receivables. Each Initial Receivable has been validly assigned by the Depositor to the Issuer on the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement and each Subsequent Receivable will be validly assigned to the Issuer on the related Funding Date pursuant to this Agreement and the related Depositor Assignment; and no Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Contributor to any Person other than the Issuer. (xvii) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Each Receivable is secured by a valid, binding and enforceable first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Contributor in the Financed Vehicle. The Certificate of Title for each Financed Vehicle shows or, if a new or replacement Certificate of Title is being applied for with respect to such Financed Vehicle, the Certificate of Title will be received within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Closing Date or the related Funding Date, as applicable, and will show, the Contributor named as the original secured party under each Receivable as the holder of a first priority perfected security interest in such Financed Vehicle. With respect to each Receivable for which the Certificate of Title has not yet been returned from the applicable governmental authority, the Servicer has received written evidence from the related Dealer that such Certificate of Title showing the Contributor as first lienholder has been applied for. If the Receivable was originated in a State in which the filing or recording of a financing statement under the UCC is required to perfect a security interest in motor vehicles, such filings or recordings have been duly made and show the 11 Contributor named as the original secured party under the related Receivable. As of the related Cutoff Date, there were no Liens or claims for taxes, work, labor, storage or materials affecting a Financed Vehicle which are or may be Liens prior or equal to the lien of the related Receivable. Each security interest in the Financed Vehicles has been or, with respect to Subsequent Receivables, will be as of the related Funding Date, validly assigned by the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and the related Depositor Assignment. Immediately after the sale, assignment and transfer thereof to the Issuer, although the related Certificates of Title will not indicate the Issuer as secured party, each Receivable will be secured by an enforceable and perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the Indenture Trustee as secured party for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Agent and the Financial Institutions which security interest is prior to all other Liens in such Financed Vehicle. (xviii) All Filings Made. On the Closing Date or the related Funding Date, as applicable, all filings (including, without limitation, UCC filings) required to be made by any Person and actions required to be taken or performed by any Person in any jurisdiction (A) to give the Issuer a first priority perfected ownership interest in, and (B) to give the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected Lien on, the Initial Receivables and the Subsequent Receivables, respectively, and the proceeds thereof and the rest of the Trust Estate (other than the Financed Vehicles) have been made, taken or performed or will be made, taken or performed on or prior to the Closing Date or the related Funding Date, as applicable, and as of the Closing Date or the related Funding Date, as applicable, the Issuer has or will have, as applicable, such a first priority perfected ownership interest and the Indenture Trustee has or will have, as applicable, such a first priority perfected Lien. (xix) No Impairment. The Depositor has not done anything to convey any right to any Person that would result in such Person having a right to payments due under the Receivables or otherwise to impair the rights of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Agent or the Noteholders in any Receivable or the proceeds thereof. (xx) Receivable Not Assumable. No Receivable is assumable by another Person in a manner which would release the Obligor thereof from such Obligor's obligations to the Depositor with respect to such Receivable. (xxi) No Defenses. No Receivable is subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense and no such right has been asserted or threatened with respect to any Receivable. The operation of the terms of any Receivable or the exercise of any right thereunder will not render such Receivable unenforceable in whole or in part or subject to any such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense. (xxii) No Default. There has been no uncured default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable (other than payment delinquencies of not more than thirty (30) days as of the Initial Cutoff Date or the related Funding Date, as applicable, or payment delinquencies of thirty (30) days or more that have been cured on or prior to the Closing Date or related Funding Date, as applicable), and no condition exists or event has occurred and is continuing that with notice, the lapse 12 of time or both would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable, and there has been no waiver of any of the foregoing. As of the related Cutoff Date, no Financed Vehicle had been repossessed from the related Obligor or repossessed by the Servicer from any other Person. (xxiii) Insurance. At the time of the origination of each Receivable with a Receivable Balance of $50,000 or greater, the related Financed Vehicle was covered by a comprehensive and collision Insurance Policy (A) in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (a) its maximum insurable value or (b) the principal amount due from the Obligor under the related Receivable, (B) naming the Contributor and its successors and assigns as loss payee and (C) insuring against loss and damage due to fire, theft, transportation, collision and other risks generally covered by comprehensive and collision coverage. Each Receivable that finances the cost of premiums for gap, credit life and credit accident and health insurance is covered by such an Insurance Policy. The Financed Vehicle relating to each Receivable that finances the cost of an extended service contract is covered by such a service contract. Each Receivable requires the Obligor to maintain physical loss and damage insurance, naming the Contributor and its successors and assigns as additional insured parties, and each Receivable permits the holder thereof to obtain physical loss and damage insurance at the expense of the Obligor if the Obligor fails to do so. (xxiv) Receivables. (A) Each Receivable had an original maturity of not more than ninety-seven (97) months; (B) each Receivable has an Annual Percentage Rate (exclusive of prepaid finance charges) of at least 4%; (C) no Receivable was a Defaulted Receivable or a Delinquent Receivable as of the Cutoff Date; (D) no funds have been advanced by the Depositor, the Contributor, the Servicer, the Issuer, any Dealer, or anyone acting on behalf of any of them in order to cause any Receivable to qualify under subclause (ii) of this clause (xxiv); (E) none of the Receivables have been re-aged (except for Receivables extended in compliance with Section 7.01(c)); and (vi) the Receivable Balance of each Receivable set forth in the Schedule of Receivables is true and accurate in all material respects as of the related Cutoff Date.

(xxvii) Form of Contract. Each Receivable contains provisions that give the obligee substantially the same benefits as provided in one of the form contracts attached as Exhibit B hereto, except for such immaterial modifications or deviations from such form contracts which appear in certain Receivables or which may appear in the future form contracts of the Contributor or which the Depositor acquires from the Contributor; any such modifications or deviations from the form loan contracts will not have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders.

(xxxiii) Payment Instructions. No Person has provided any payment instructions to any Obligor that are inconsistent with the provisions of Section 7.01(d) hereof. (b) Organization and Good Standing.

If the Depositor shall have made any indemnity payment to the Indenture Trustee, the Agent, the Noteholders, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee (as such or in its individual capacity) or the Issuer pursuant to this Section and any such Person thereafter shall collect any of such amounts from others, then such Person shall repay such amounts to the Depositor, without interest. If the Depositor fails to indemnify any applicable Person pursuant to this Section 5.09, then such Person shall notify the Contributor of such failure and the Contributor shall pay the amount of such indemnification to the applicable Person within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of the Depositor under this Section 5.09 are solely the corporate obligations of the Depositor, and shall be payable by the Depositor, as provided in this Section 5.09. The Depositor shall only be required to pay (a) any fees, expenses, indemnities or other liabilities that it may incur under this Section 5.09 to the extent the Depositor has funds available that would be in excess of amounts that would be necessary to pay the debt and other obligations of the Depositor incurred in accordance with the Depositor's certificate of incorporation and all financing documents to which the Depositor is a party and (b) any expenses, indemnities or other liabilities that it may incur under this Section 5.09 only to the extent it receives funds designated for such purposes or to the extent it has funds available that would be in excess of amounts that would be necessary to pay the debt and other obligations of the Depositor incurred in accordance with the Depositor's certificate of incorporation and all financing documents to which the Depositor is a party. In addition, no amount owing by the Depositor hereunder in excess of the liabilities that it is required to pay in accordance with the preceding sentence shall constitute a "claim" (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against it. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing hereunder or for the payment of any fee hereunder or any other obligation of, or claim against, the Depositor arising out of or based upon this Section 5.09, against any stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director or authorized person of the Depositor or of any Affiliate thereof (other than with respect to any obligation of the Contributor as set forth in the last sentence of the foregoing paragraph); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Person or entity of any liability they might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions or willful misconduct or omissions taken by them. Section 5.10. Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Depositor. Subject to Section 5.13 hereof, any Person (i) into which the Depositor may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which the Depositor shall be a party, (iii) succeeding to the business of the Depositor, or (iv) exercising control directly or indirectly of the Depositor, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption acceptable, in their respective absolute discretion, to each of the Agent and the Indenture Trustee, to perform every obligation of the Depositor under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Depositor is a party, will be the successor to the Depositor under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, (1) no representation or warranty made 28 pursuant to Section 3.02(a) would have been breached (for purposes hereof, such representations and warranties shall speak as of the date of the consummation of such transaction) and (2) no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Event of Default, an Event of Default or a Termination Event, shall have occurred and be continuing, (b) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Agent and the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, conversion, merger, or succession and such agreement or assumption comply with this Section and Section 5.13(iii) and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with, (c) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Agent and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either (1) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, 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 Issuer and the Noteholders in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings, or (2) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest, and (d) the organizational documents of the Person surviving or resulting from such transaction shall contain provisions the same in substantive effect as those of the Depositor's articles of incorporation in respect of the issuance of debt, the independent director and bankruptcy remoteness. The Depositor shall provide written notice of any merger, consolidation, conversion, or succession pursuant to this Section and Section 5.13(iii) to the Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (a) through (e) above shall be conditions to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above. Section 5.11. Limitation on Liability of Contributor, Depositor and Others. Each of the Contributor and the Depositor and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Depositor or the Contributor may rely in good faith on the written advice of counsel, Opinion of Counsel, Officer's Certificate, or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. Neither the Contributor nor the Depositor shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its obligations under this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Contributor or the Depositor, as the case may be, may undertake any reasonable action that it may in good faith deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders under this Agreement. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs, and liabilities of the Contributor or the Depositor, as the case may be. Section 5.12. Contributor and Depositor May Own Notes. The Contributor or the Depositor and any Person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Contributor or the Depositor may in their individual or any other capacities become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Contributor or the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. Notes so owned by or pledged to the Contributor and the Depositor or such controlling, controlled or commonly controlled Person shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement, without preference, priority or distinction as among all of the Notes, as the case may be. 29 Section 5.13. Additional Covenants of the Depositor. The Depositor shall not do any of the following, without (a) the prior written consent of the Majority Holders, and (b) the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee, who shall, without any exercise of its own discretion, also provide its written consent to the Depositor upon receipt by it of a copy of the written consent of the Majority Holders: (i) engage in any business or activity other than those set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Depositor or amend the Depositor's certificate of incorporation and by laws other than in accordance with its terms as in effect on the date hereof; (ii) incur any indebtedness, or assume or guaranty any indebtedness of any other entity; (iii) dissolve or liquidate, in whole or in part, consolidate or merge with or into any other entity or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any entity; or (iv) without the affirmative vote of 100% of the directors of the board of directors of the Depositor, including the independent directors, institute proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or file a petition seeking or consent to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or State law relating to bankruptcy, or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Depositor or a substantial part of its property, or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or take corporate action in furtherance of any such action. ARTICLE VI ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES Section 6.01. Appointment and Duties of the Servicer. (a) The Issuer hereby appoints Bay View Acceptance as the Servicer for an initial term commencing on the Closing Date and ending on June 3, 2004, which term shall be automatically extended for successive 364-day terms, until the Notes are paid in full, unless the Agent, in its sole discretion, delivers a Servicer Termination Notice as set forth below. The Servicer hereby agrees that, as of the date hereof, the Servicer shall become bound, for the initial term beginning on the Closing Date and for the duration of each successive term to continue as the Servicer subject to and in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. At any time during the initial term or any subsequent term, the Agent may, in its sole discretion, deliver to the Servicer a written notice (a "Servicer Termination Notice") providing that the then current Servicer's duties as Servicer shall terminate at the end of the then current term. (b) The Backup Servicer, if not then acting as successor Servicer, may be terminated as Backup Servicer at any time, with or without cause and without payment of 30 the Backup Servicer Termination Fee. If the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, (i) the Backup Servicer may be terminated pursuant to the terms of Section 10.02, or (ii) the Agent may terminate the term of the Backup Servicer at any time for any reason, subject to the payment of the Backup Servicer Termination Fee, upon sixty (60) days' written notice to the Backup Servicer. The Agent may terminate the term of the Backup Servicer upon five (5) days' written notice, and the Backup Servicer shall not be entitled to the Backup Servicer Termination Fee, if the Agent has determined in its reasonable credit judgment that the Backup Servicer has engaged in willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder. (c) The Servicer shall service, administer and make collections on the Receivables, and perform the other actions required of the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer agrees that its servicing of the Receivables shall be carried out in accordance with its customary and usual collection procedures. The Servicer's duties shall include, without limitation, collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending monthly statements to Obligors, reporting any required tax information to Obligors, policing and foreclosing on the collateral (including the Financed Vehicles), accounting for collections and furnishing the Weekly Servicer Report, the Monthly Servicer Report and annual statements to the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Agent with respect to distributions, and performing the other duties specified herein (it being understood that if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, it shall not be required to issue Weekly Servicer Reports). The Servicer shall also administer and enforce all rights and responsibilities of the holder of the Receivables provided for in the Dealer Agreements and the Insurance Policies, to the extent that such Dealer Agreements and Insurance Policies relate to the Receivables, the Financed Vehicles or the Obligors (it being understood that if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, it shall have no duty to enforce such Dealer Agreements). To the extent consistent with the standards, policies and procedures otherwise required hereby, the Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies, and procedures and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee, 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 with respect to the Financed Vehicles; provided however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not, except pursuant to an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, release an Obligor from payment of any unpaid amount under any Receivable or waive the right to collect the unpaid balance of any Receivable from the Obligor, except that the Servicer may forego collection efforts if the amount subject to collection is Supplemental Servicing Fees or any other fees that are property of the Servicer or are otherwise de minimis (i.e., less than twenty dollars ($20)) or if it would forego collection in accordance with its customary procedures. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable pursuant to Section 6.02 or to commence or participate in any other legal proceeding (including, without 31 limitation, a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle. If the Servicer commences or participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name, the Indenture Trustee shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such Receivable to the Servicer solely for purposes of commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to execute and deliver in the Servicer's name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall furnish, at the Servicer's expense, the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents which the Servicer may reasonably request in writing and which the Servicer deems necessary or appropriate and take any other steps which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Backup Servicer is the successor Servicer, it shall be reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Receivables and shall not be responsible for expenses incurred in connection with such powers of attorney necessary to satisfy its administrative and servicing duties hereunder. The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and the Agent from time to time such additional information regarding the Backup Servicer, the Issuer or the Transaction Documents as the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Agent shall reasonably request. Section 6.02. Realization upon Receivables. (a) On behalf of the Noteholders and the Issuer and consistent in all material respects with the standards, policies and procedures required by the Collection Policy, the Servicer shall repossess (or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of) and liquidate any Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable with respect to which the Servicer has determined that payments thereunder are not likely to be resumed, as soon as is practicable after default on such Receivable but in no event later than the date on which ten percent (10%) or more of a Scheduled Obligor Payment remains unpaid for one hundred eighty (180) or more days from the date on which it is due and payable. The Servicer is authorized to follow such customary practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, consistent with the standard of care required by Section 6.01, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to the Dealers (it being understood that if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, it shall have no duty to enforce such remedy), selling the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale, the submission of claims under an Insurance Policy and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a Receivable. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion that there is a reasonable likelihood that such repair and/or repossession shall increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. All amounts received upon liquidation of a Financed Vehicle shall be remitted directly by the Servicer to the Local Bank Account (or, if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, for deposit into the Backup Servicer Account) as soon as practicable, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses incurred by it in the course of repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle, but only out of the cash proceeds of such Financed Vehicle, any deficiency 32 obtained from the Obligor or any amounts received from the related Dealer, which amounts may be retained by the Servicer (and shall not be required to be deposited into the Local Bank Account (or, if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, into the Backup Servicer Account)) to the extent of such expenses. The Servicer shall recover such reasonable expenses based on the information contained in the Monthly Servicer Report delivered on the related Determination Date. The Servicer shall pay on behalf of the Issuer any personal property taxes assessed on repossessed Financed Vehicles; the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of any such tax from Recoveries with respect to such Receivable. (b) If the Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Dealer Agreement, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment from the Indenture Trustee to the Servicer of the rights under such Dealer Agreement for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Dealer Agreement on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a Person entitled to enforce the Dealer Agreement, the Indenture Trustee, at the Servicer's expense, or the Issuer, at the Issuer's expense, shall take such steps as the Servicer deems reasonably necessary to enforce the Dealer Agreement, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Contributor or the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. All amounts recovered (less the expenses of such enforcement) shall be remitted directly by the Servicer to the Local Bank Account (or, if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, to the Backup Servicer Account) as soon as practicable, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof. Section 6.03. Insurance. (a) The Servicer shall monitor the status of each Insurance Policy in accordance with its customary servicing procedures (it being understood that if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, it shall have no duty to monitor the status of any Insurance Policy). If the Servicer shall determine that an Obligor has failed to obtain or maintain a physical loss and damage Insurance Policy covering the related Financed Vehicle which satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 3.02(a) of the Contribution Agreement and Section 3.02(a) of this Agreement (including during the repossession of such Financed Vehicle), the Servicer may, but shall not be required to, in accordance with its customary practice, enforce the rights of the holder of the Receivable thereunder to require the Obligor to obtain such physical loss and damage insurance. (b) To the extent applicable, the Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any of the insurance policies referred to in Section 6.03(a) which, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Servicer, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any of the foregoing insurance policies. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any of the foregoing insurance policies shall be deposited into the Local Bank Account (or, if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, to the Backup Servicer Account) within two (2) Business Days of receipt. (c) The Servicer may sue to enforce or collect upon the Insurance Policies, in its own name, if possible, or as agent of the Issuer and Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust. If the Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce an Insurance Policy, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the rights of the Issuer and 33 Indenture Trustee under such Insurance Policy to the Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce an Insurance Policy on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Insurance Policy, the Indenture Trustee, at the Servicer's expense, or the Contributor, at the Contributor's expense, shall take such steps as the Servicer deems reasonably necessary to enforce such Insurance Policy, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. Section 6.04. Maintenance of Security Interests in Vehicles. (a) Consistent with the policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created in the name of the Contributor by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, including but not limited to obtaining the execution by the Obligors and the recording, registering, filing, re-recording, re-filing, and re-registering of all security agreements, financing statements and continuation statements as are necessary to maintain the security interest granted by the Obligors under the respective Receivables. The Indenture Trustee hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer agrees, to take any and all steps necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Indenture Trustee as necessary because of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Indenture Trustee is insufficient without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle's Certificate of Title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the State in which the Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Indenture Trustee, the parties hereto agree that the Contributor's designation as the secured party on the Certificate of Title is, with respect to each secured party, as applicable, in its capacity as agent of the Indenture Trustee. The Servicer shall provide copies of all such filings to the Indenture Trustee, the Agent and the Custodian. If the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, it shall be reimbursed pursuant to Section 5.03(b) of the Indenture for any costs incurred by it in performing its duties pursuant to this Section 6.04. (b) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, Servicer Event of Default or Event of Default, the Servicer (if the Servicer is Bay View Acceptance or a successor to the business of Bay View Acceptance) (the "Original Servicer"), at the written direction of the Majority Holders, shall take or cause to be taken such action as may, in the judgment of the Majority Holders, be necessary or desirable to perfect or re-perfect the security interests in the Financed Vehicles securing the Receivables in the name of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and the Noteholders by amending the title documents of such Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable means as may be necessary or prudent, and shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee any Custodian File or portion thereof that has been released by the Indenture Trustee to the Servicer and is then in the possession of the Servicer, including any original Certificates of Title. The Servicer shall, and if the Servicer has been removed or otherwise fails to, the Contributor shall pay or reimburse all costs and expenses related to such perfection or re-perfection (the "Reliening Expenses") on demand. If the Servicer is the Backup Servicer or any other Person acting in the capacity of successor Servicer, upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, Servicer Event of Default or Event of Default, such successor Servicer at the written direction of the Majority Holders shall take or cause to be taken such action as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Agent, which opinion shall be an expense of the Majority Holders (but shall be reimbursable to the Majority Holders in accordance with the Indenture), be necessary or 34 desirable to perfect or re-perfect the security interests in the Financed Vehicles securing the Receivables in the name of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and the Noteholders by amending the title documents of such Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable means as may, as set forth in such opinion of counsel to the Agent, be necessary or prudent and shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee any Custodian File or portion thereof that has been released by the Indenture Trustee to the Servicer and is then in the possession of the Servicer, including any original Certificates of Title. The Original Servicer shall pay or reimburse all Reliening Expenses on demand. If such successor Servicer is the Backup Servicer, such successor Servicer may, if it so chooses, attempt to employ a third party to perform the perfection and re-perfection duties under this Section 6.04(b) either prior to, or after the occurrence of, a Termination Event, Servicer Event of Default or Event of Default and, if after making reasonable efforts to employ such a third party such successor Servicer is unable to enter into an agreement with such a third party to perform such duties, the Agent shall identify and employ a third party to perform the perfection and re-perfection duties under this Section 6.04(b) and such successor Servicer shall only be required to provide such reasonable cooperation and assistance to such third party as may be necessary in connection with the perfection and re-perfection duties under this Section 6.04(b). In any case, such successor Servicer shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance, or cooperating and assisting in the performance, of any of the duties under this Section 6.04(b) if the repayment of such funds or adequate written indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it prior to the expenditure or risk of such funds or incurrence of financial liability. In addition, prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event, Servicer Event of Default or Event of Default, the Agent may instruct the Servicer to take or cause to be taken such action, and instruct the Indenture Trustee to use its best efforts to cooperate and assist the Servicer with any such action, as may, in the judgment of the Majority Holders or the Agent, be reasonably necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security interest in the Financed Vehicles securing the Receivables in the name of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and the Noteholders, including by amending the Certificates of Title related to such Financed Vehicles to reflect the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the related Financed Vehicle or by such other reasonable means as may be necessary or prudent. The Servicer hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Indenture Trustee acting through its duly appointed officers or any of them, its true and lawful attorney, for it and in its name and on its behalf, for the sole and exclusive purpose of authorizing said attorney to execute and deliver 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 show the Indenture Trustee as lienholder or secured party on the Certificate of Title relating to a Financed Vehicle. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to file or prepare financing statements or continuation statements, or to take any action or to execute any further documents or instruments in order to create, preserve or perfect the security interest granter hereunder, such obligations being solely the obligations of the Servicer. Section 6.05. Servicing Fee; Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer. On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive out of the Collection Account the Servicing Fee and any late fees, prepayment charges, including any administration fees or similar charges owed by an Obligor under a Receivable, for the related Collection Period pursuant to Section 5.03(b) of the Indenture. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by 35 it in connection with its activities under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to Noteholders). The Servicer shall be liable for the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants. Section 6.06. Weekly Servicer Report; Monthly Servicer Report.

Unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the first full Collection Period following such actual knowledge or receipt of notice by an Authorized Officer of the Servicer, the Servicer shall purchase as of the Business Day preceding the Determination Date relating to the respective Collection Period any Receivable that is materially and adversely affected by such breach or which materially and adversely affects the interests of any Noteholder (which shall include any Receivable as to which a breach of Section 6.02 has occurred).

The Indenture 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. The purchase obligation set forth in this Section shall, except as provided below, be the sole remedy of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Noteholders with respect to any of the aforementioned breaches by the applicable Servicer; provided, however, that the Servicer shall indemnify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer and the Noteholders and each of their respective officers, employees, directors, agents and representatives against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such breach. No predecessor or successor Servicer shall be responsible for the acts or omissions of such predecessor or successor Servicer. Upon receipt of the Repurchase Price and any related indemnity payments, the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as are prepared by the Servicer and delivered to the Indenture Trustee and are necessary to vest in the Servicer or such designee the Issuer's right, title and interest in the Receivable.

If the Servicer fails to repurchase any Receivable or make any indemnity payment which it is so required to acquire or make pursuant to this Section by the date specified, the Indenture Trustee shall be obligated promptly to notify the Contributor and the Agent of such failure, and the Contributor shall be obligated to purchase the Receivable or make such payment within five (5) Business Days following such notification and to deposit the Repurchase Price into the Collection Account or make such payment. Section 6.16. Custodian Files.

The Servicer agrees to hold the Custodian Files and documents contained therein that are in its possession in accordance with the same standards required of the Custodian under the Custodian Agreement. The Servicer agrees that all Custodian Files in its possession shall be held at its chief executive office as specified in Section 8.01(b)(x) hereof or at such other location identified from time to time to the Indenture Trustee and the Agent; provided, however, that the Servicer may temporarily move a Custodian File without such identification as necessary to conduct its servicing activities for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days. If the Backup Servicer is acting as the successor Servicer and performs any duties pursuant to this Section 6.16, it shall be reimbursed pursuant to Section 5.03(b) of the Indenture for any costs incurred by it in performing such duties. ARTICLE VII COLLECTIONS Section 7.01. Collection of Receivable Payments; Modification and Amendment of Receivables. (a) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall 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 automobile receivables that it services for itself or others and otherwise act with respect to the Receivables, the Dealer Agreements, the Insurance Policies and the rest of the Trust Estate in such manner as will, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize the amount to be received by the Indenture Trustee with respect thereto (it being understood that if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, it shall have no duty to enforce any Dealer Agreements). The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other similar fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Receivable. (b) The Servicer may at any time agree to a modification or amendment of a Receivable in order to (i) change the Obligor's regular due date to a date within thirty (30) days in which such due date occurs or (ii) re-amortize the scheduled payments on the Receivable following a partial prepayment of principal, but not to extend the final maturity of the Receivable. In no event shall the Servicer reduce the APR on any Receivable below 4%. (c) The Servicer may grant payment extensions on a Receivable (excluding those modifications permitted by Section 7.01(b)) in accordance with its customary procedures if the Servicer believes in good faith that such extension is necessary to avoid a default on such Receivable, will maximize the amount to be received with respect to such Receivable, and is otherwise in the best interests of the Noteholders; provided that in no event shall a Receivable be extended such that any payment thereon would be due after the month immediately following the month in which the Maturity Date occurs; provided, further, that no extensions may be granted by the Servicer until at least three consecutive Scheduled Obligor Payments have been received 42 by Servicer under the related Receivables; provided, further, that no more than one extension per year shall be permitted on any Receivable and no more than 3 extensions total shall be permitted on any Receivable; provided, further, that no extension may be granted on any Receivable within 6 months following the date of origination thereof; and provided, further, that as of the last day of any Collection Period, the aggregate Receivable Balance of Receivables the term of which have been extended during the twelve month period ending on the last day of such Collection Period shall not exceed 3.0% of the Aggregate Receivable Balance measured as of the last day of such Collection Period. (d) The Servicer shall direct Obligors to make all payments on the Receivables to be made directly to one or more post office boxes established and maintained in the name of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders designated by the Servicer prior to the Closing Date and set forth on Exhibit G hereto (the "Post Office Boxes") (or, if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, to the Backup Servicer Lockbox); provided, however, that with respect to Obligors who have amounts debited from a bank account, payments shall be directed to a bank account set forth on Exhibit G hereto at the Local Bank (the "Local Bank Account") (or, if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, to the Backup Servicer Account). Until the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, or until a Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Lenders elect to direct the Indenture Trustee that the Servicer shall no longer have access to the Post Office Boxes, the Indenture Trustee agrees that the Servicer shall have access to the Post Office Boxes at all times. The Servicer shall remove all payments on the Receivables from the Post Office Boxes on each Business Day and shall deposit such amounts in the Local Bank Account (or, if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, for deposit into the Backup Servicer Account) by the end of each such Business Day; provided, that if the Servicer is unable to remove any such payments from the Post Office Boxes by 2:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on any Business Day because such payments have not been delivered by such time or the Post Office Boxes are inaccessible as a result of circumstance beyond the control of the Servicer, then the Servicer shall remove such payments and deposit them into the Local Bank Account (or the Backup Servicer Account, as applicable) prior to 2:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the first Business Day upon which such payments were available for removal from the Post Office Boxes. The Servicer shall remit to the Local Bank Account (or, if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, to the Backup Servicer Account) by the end of each Business Day on which the Servicer receives any other payments made by or on behalf of the Obligors with respect to a Receivable, including all Actual Payments, Insurance Proceeds, Recoveries, Principal Reduction Amounts, Repurchase Prices and all proceeds relating to the repossession or disposition of the Financed Vehicles (including recourse payments received from Dealers with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty of such Dealers under the Dealer's Agreements and any State tax refunds), to the extent such payments are received by the Servicer by 2:00 p.m. (Pacific time), or by the end of the following Business Day, with respect to any such payments received after such time. (e) The Servicer shall cause to be deposited into the Collection Account all Collections in the Local Bank Account (or, if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, in the Backup Servicer Account) that are cleared funds within two (2) Business Days of deposit therein. 43 (f) With respect to each Receivable (other than a Repurchased Receivable), payments actually received from or on behalf of the Obligor shall be applied hereunder: first, to interest and principal in accordance with the simple interest method to the extent necessary to bring such Receivable current; second, in connection with the redemption of a defaulted Receivable, to reimburse the Servicer for reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with such Receivable; third, to Supplemental Servicing Fees; and fourth, to principal in accordance with the simple interest method. (g) On each Transfer Date, to the extent that Monthly Available Funds would not otherwise be sufficient to satisfy amounts through clause Thirteenth of Section 5.03(b) of the Indenture on the related Payment Date, the Servicer may, but will not be required to, advance and remit to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account, in such manner as will ensure that the Indenture Trustee will have immediately available funds on account thereof by 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the next succeeding Payment Date, an amount (a "Servicer Advance") equal to any payment due under any Receivable during the prior Collection Period but unpaid during such Collection Period. In consideration of each Servicer Advance the Servicer will be entitled to retain any late payment fees recovered from the Obligor with respect to any Receivables payment covered by a Servicer Advance. In addition, the Servicer will be reimbursed for Servicer Advances from funds in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.03 of the Indenture.

The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on the written advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Agent, the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer respecting any matters arising under this Agreement and any such written advice of counsel shall be full and complete authorization for any action taken or omitted by the Servicer in reliance in good faith and in accordance with such advice. 52 (b) The Backup Servicer (i) shall not be liable for its actions or omissions hereunder except for its negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be responsible for any recitals, statements, representations, or warranties made herein, except those expressly made by it as Backup Servicer and (iii) may conclusively rely upon, and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance upon, any document, certificate, instrument, opinion, certificate, report, notice, statement, consent, resolution, entitlement order, approval or conversation believed by it to be genuine and made by the proper person and upon opinions of counsel or other experts reasonably selected by it. The Backup Servicer shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Backup Servicer, unless it shall be proven that the Backup Servicer was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts with respect to such error of judgment. (c) The Backup Servicer shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the repayment of such funds or adequate written indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it prior to the expenditure or risk of such funds or incurring of financial liability. (d) The Backup Servicer shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper or document. (e) The Backup Servicer may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees appointed with due care, and shall not be responsible for any willful misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, attorney, custodian or nominee so appointed. (f) To the extent that the Backup Servicer is required to be indemnified by the Depositor pursuant to Sections 5.09 hereof, such amounts shall be reimbursable from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.03(b) of the Indenture. To the extent that the Backup Servicer is required to be indemnified by the Servicer pursuant to 9.01 hereof and does not receive payment for the applicable indemnified amount from the Servicer, such amounts shall be reimbursable from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.03(b) of the Indenture. Section 9.04. Delegation of Duties. The Servicer may delegate duties under this Agreement with the prior written consent of the Majority Holders. The Servicer may at any time perform the specific duty of repossession of Financed Vehicles through sub-contractors who are in the business of servicing automotive receivables and may perform other specific duties through such sub-contractors; provided however, that no such delegation or subcontracting duties by the Servicer shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties. Section 9.05. Servicer and Backup Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.02, neither the Servicer nor the Backup Servicer shall resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as Servicer or Backup Servicer except upon a determination that by reason of a change in legal requirements, the performance of its duties under this Agreement would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which would result in a material adverse effect on the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as the 53 case may be, and the Majority Holders do not elect to waive the obligations of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as the case may be, to perform the duties which render it legally unable to act or to delegate those duties to another Person. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer or Backup Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered and acceptable to the Majority Holders. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until the Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer acceptable to the Majority Holders that is an Eligible Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer. No resignation of the Backup Servicer shall become effective until a Person acceptable to the Majority Holders that is an Eligible Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Backup Servicer; provided, however, that in the event a successor Backup Servicer is not appointed within sixty (60) days after the Backup Servicer has given notice of its resignation as permitted by this Section 9.05, the Backup Servicer may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any transition expenses, servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicer fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Sale and Servicing Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein or be liable for or be required to make any servicer advances, nor shall the Indenture Trustee be required to act as successor Servicer or perform any duties of the successor Servicer hereunder. Section 9.06. Backup Servicer's Reliance; Liability; Errors. (a) The Backup Servicer may reasonably rely on any records and documentation provided, produced or supplied by the Servicer. The Backup Servicer shall have no liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance of the Servicer or the inaccuracy of any data provided, produced or supplied by the Servicer. The Backup Servicer shall have no liability for any errors perpetuated by it in the performance of its duties hereunder or under the Transaction Documents as a result of a latent defect in any underlying records or data provided to it by the Servicer except for such latent defects that remain undiscovered or uncorrected as a result of the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Backup Servicer in the performance of its duties hereunder or under the Transaction Documents. (b) The Backup Servicer may accept and reasonably rely on all accounting and servicing records and other documentation provided to the Backup Servicer, including documents prepared or maintained by the Servicer, or any party providing services related to the Receivables (each, a "third party"). The Backup Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability (collectively "liability") for the acts or omissions of any third party. If any error, inaccuracy or omission (collectively "error") exists in any information provided to the Backup Servicer and such error causes or materially contributes to the Backup Servicer making or continuing any error (a "continuing error"), the Backup Servicer shall have no liability for such continuing error; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Backup Servicer against any liability arising from its willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in discovering or correcting or failing to discover or correct any error or in the performance of its duties contemplated herein. (c) If the Backup Servicer becomes aware of any error or continuing error which in the opinion of the Backup Servicer impairs its ability to perform its services hereunder the Backup Servicer may undertake such data or records reconstruction as it deems appropriate to 54 correct any such error or continuing error and to prevent future continuing error. To the extent it is not otherwise reimbursed under this Agreement, the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to recover its costs incurred in correcting any such error or continuing error from the Servicer; provided, however, that the Backup Servicer shall not be entitled to recover any such costs unless it shall have received the written consent of the Indenture Trustee prior to taking any such corrective action pertaining to the error.

or (n) If the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, the failure of the Backup Servicer to be controlled by or under the common control of JPMorgan Chase Bank. Section 10.02. Consequences of a Servicer Event of Default. If a Servicer Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Majority Holders or the Agent, by notice given in writing to the Servicer and Backup Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Backup Servicer, acting as successor Servicer, may not be terminated pursuant to this Section 10.02 for a Servicer Event of Default set forth in Section 10.01(c), (d), (k), (l) or (m); provided, further, however, that the Backup Servicer, acting as successor Servicer, may be terminated pursuant to clause (m) above if it is also the servicer under the agreements referenced therein with respect to which Bay View Acceptance is the contributor. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice (unless otherwise directed by the Majority Holders or the Agent and subject to Section 10.03(a)), unless otherwise excluded or modified herein all authority, power, obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether 57 with respect to the Notes or the Trust Estate or otherwise, automatically shall pass to, be vested in and become obligations and responsibilities of the Backup Servicer; provided, however, that the Backup Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the prior Servicer prior to the date that the Backup Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the prior Servicer; and provided further, that the Backup Servicer shall have no obligation to assume the responsibilities of Servicer with fewer than 30 days prior written notice. The Backup Servicer is authorized and empowered by this Agreement to execute and deliver, on behalf of the prior 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 the rest of the Trust Estate and related documents or otherwise. The prior Servicer agrees, if so directed by the Majority Holders or by the Agent, to continue to act as Servicer until the successor Servicer assumes the responsibilities of Servicer, and agrees to cooperate with the Backup Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the prior Servicer under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the execution of one or more specific powers of attorney pursuant to Section 10.03(g) at the request of the successor Servicer and the transfer to the Backup Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the prior Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the prior Servicer, in the Collection Account or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables and the delivery to the Backup Servicer or the Custodian, as applicable, of all Custodian Files and Collection Records and a computer tape in readable form containing all information necessary to enable the Backup Servicer or another successor Servicer to service the Receivables and the rest of the Trust Estate. The Servicer agrees that the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer shall eliminate the Servicer's access to all Post Office Boxes in accordance with certain instructions to be executed by the Servicer giving the Indenture Trustee and Backup Servicer access to the Post Office Boxes, provided that the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any access gained by the Servicer to the Post Office Boxes after the Indenture Trustee has used its best efforts to prohibit such access. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Custodian Files to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section 10.02 shall be paid by the prior Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. In addition, any successor Servicer shall be entitled to payment from the immediate predecessor Servicer for reasonable transition expenses incurred in connection with acting as successor Servicer. The prior Servicer shall grant the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer and the Agent reasonable access to the prior Servicer's premises, computer files, personnel, records and equipment at the prior Servicer's expense. If requested by the Majority Holders, the Backup Servicer or any other successor Servicer shall terminate any arrangements relating to the Local Bank Account with the Local Bank or the Post Office Boxes, and direct the Obligors to make all payments under the Receivables directly to the successor Servicer at the prior Servicer's expense (in which event the successor Servicer shall process such payments directly or through a lock-box account established in accordance with the instructions of the Agent or the Majority Holders or, if the Backup Servicer is acting as successor Servicer, through the Backup Servicer Lockbox). The Indenture Trustee shall send copies of all notices given pursuant to this Section 10.02 to the Noteholders and the Agent. The Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer may set off and deduct any amounts owed by the terminated Servicer from any 58 amounts payable to the terminated Servicer. When the Trustee or the Backup Servicer incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default specified in Section 10.01, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. Section 10.03. Appointment of Successor. (a) Upon the Servicer's receipt of a notice of termination pursuant to Section 10.02, or upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.05, unless the Majority Holders direct otherwise, the Backup Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for in this Agreement, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, restrictions, duties, liabilities and termination provisions relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, however that the Backup Servicer shall not be liable for any acts, omissions or obligations of the Servicer prior to such succession or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any related document or agreement. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action reasonably requested by the parties hereto, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. (b) Notwithstanding the above, if the Backup Servicer shall be legally unable to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of the Majority Holders, shall appoint any Eligible Servicer as the successor to, the Servicer. Pending such appointment, the outgoing Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment. Subject to Section 9.05, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed as relieving the Backup Servicer of its obligation to succeed as successor Servicer upon the termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 10.02, or the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.05. (c) Any successor Servicer other than the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer would have been entitled to under the Agreement if the Servicer had not resigned or been terminated hereunder. The Backup Servicer shall be entitled to the applicable Backup Servicing Fees owing to it in accordance with Schedule II hereto. (d) Any successor Servicer may accept and reasonably rely on all accounting and servicing records and other documentation provided to such successor Servicer in connection with succession to Servicer duties, including documents prepared or maintained by the Contributor, the Depositor or the prior Servicer, or any party providing services related to the Receivables (each, a "Third Party"). The Contributor, in its capacity as Servicer, shall indemnify and hold harmless the successor Servicer and its officers, directors, employees and agents, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity), the Noteholders and the Agent against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the successor Servicer, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity), the Noteholders and the Agent may sustain in any way (i) solely related to the negligence or misconduct of the Servicer or any such Third Party based upon any matter related to or arising out of this Agreement except for any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees, and related costs and judgments arising from such successor Servicer's 59 own negligence or willful misconduct; or (ii) solely related to the conduct of such successor Servicer undertaken at the direction of any party hereto or which result from the transfer of servicing to the successor Servicer. The successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability (collectively "liability") for the acts or omissions of any Third Party. If any error, inaccuracy or omission (collectively "error") exists in any information provided to a successor Servicer and such error causes or materially contributes to such successor Servicer making or continuing any error (a "continuing error"), such successor Servicer shall have no liability for such continuing error; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect such successor Servicer against any liability arising from its willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in discovering or correcting or failing to discover or correct any error or in the performance of its duties contemplated herein. (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, any successor Servicer shall not inherit any of the indemnification obligations of any prior servicer including the original servicer. (f) Any successor Servicer shall have (1) no obligation to perform any repurchase or advancing obligations, if any, of the prior Servicer, (2) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the prior Servicer, (3) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party in this transaction and (4) no obligation to pay any fees, expenses or indemnities under Sections 8.02(b) or Section 9.01(d), (e) or (f). (g) In order to permit the successor Servicer to more effectively perform its duties and obligations under Section 6.04(b) of this Agreement, the Servicer hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the successor Servicer, acting by or through any one or more of its officers or employees, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact for the Servicer and in the name place and stead of the Servicer, and for the use and benefit of the Servicer, to take any actions necessary to fulfill the successor Servicer's obligations under Section 6.04(b), including without limitation, the preparation, execution and/or delivery to the relevant governmental authorities of any filings, notations of release or discharge, termination statements, Certificates of Title, affidavits, releases, satisfactions of lien, certificates and other documents, instruments or showings as may be required to cause the Certificate of Title relating to such Financed Vehicles to be issued to reflect the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in such Financed Vehicles. Section 10.04. Notification. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Note Register, and to the Agent. Section 10.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Majority Holders may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except an event resulting from the failure to make any required deposits to, or payments from, the Collection Account in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Event of 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. 60 ARTICLE XI ADMINISTRATION OF TRUST DUTIES Section 11.01. Administrative Duties. (a) Administrative Duties with Respect to the Basic Documents. The Contributor shall perform all its duties and, unless otherwise specified, the administrative duties of the Issuer under the Transaction Documents.

The Contributor shall monitor the performance of the Issuer and shall advise the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Agent, when action is necessary to comply with the Issuer's duties under the Transaction Documents. (b) Duties with Respect to the Issuer.

(ii) In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its other obligations under this Agreement, the Contributor may enter into transactions with or otherwise deal with any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the terms of any such transaction or dealings shall be in accordance with any directions received from the Issuer and shall be, in the Contributor's good faith business judgment, no less favorable to the Issuer in any material respect. (c) Records. The Contributor shall maintain appropriate books of account and records relating to its duties performed under Section 11.01(a) and (b) hereof, which books of account and records shall be accessible for inspection by the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Agent at any time during normal business hours.

This Agreement may only be amended by mutual written consent of the parties hereto and with the prior written consent of the Majority Holders; provided, however, that, no such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, or change the allocation or priority of, collections of payments on the Receivables or payments that shall be required to be made on any Note without the consent of each Noteholder affected thereby, or (b) reduce the percentage of Noteholders, if any, required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holder of all Notes then outstanding or eliminate the right of the Noteholders to consent to any change described in clause (a) affecting the Noteholders without the consent of the Noteholders. No amendment made to the Transaction Documents to which the Servicer has duties thereunder without the Servicer's written consent, shall be effective as to the Servicer, to the extent such amendment is disadvantageous in any respect to the Servicer. Section 13.02. Waivers.

The failure of any party hereto at any time to require performance by any other party hereto of any provision of this Agreement shall in no way affect that party's right to enforce such provision, nor shall the waiver by any party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement be taken or held to be a waiver of any further breach of the same provision or any other provision.
