FINANCIAL SECURITY ASSURANCE INC. By: ----------------------------- Name: Title: [Sale and Servicing Agreement] EXHIBIT A PAYMENT DEFERMENT POLICY ------------------------ A. Loss Mitigation Program This program, which involves temporary payment modifications, is intended to assist Obligors who are experiencing temporary financial hardships that would otherwise lead to voluntary surrenders of their vehicles and resulting losses to LBAC. In order to be eligible for this program, an Obligor must first have indicated an intent to surrender his or her vehicle. LBAC will determine individual Obligor eligibility for and the viability of this program as an effective loss mitigation option on a case-by-case basis. Any arrangement between an Obligor and LBAC for a temporary payment modification under this program must be approved by LBAC's President or an Executive Vice President. o LBAC may agree to a temporary payment modification, provided that the modified payment amount may not be less than 60% of the contractual payment amount. The contractual interest rate of the Receivable must remain unchanged. o The total number of payments modified may not exceed 9 over the entire term of the Receivable. o The terms of any payment modification must be set forth in a written modification agreement between the Obligor and LBAC, and the agreement must be included in the Legal File for the Receivable. o The modification agreement must specify that contractual arrearages resulting from the payment modification will be satisfied by the Obligor either by making a balloon payment due on the maturity date of the Receivable or by making additional payments following the maturity date, resulting in a term extension, provided that any term extension may not exceed 6 months beyond the current maturity date of the Receivable. o Prior to allowing any payment modification under this program, LBAC must conduct a financial analysis of each candidate to determine whether there is a reasonable probability that the Obligor will satisfy the terms and conditions of the arrangement and that the Receivable will be viable at the expiration of the payment modification period. o No deferments or due date adjustments may be granted during the modification period. o Payment modification arrangements which do not meet the above criteria may be agreed to on an exception basis by LBAC's President or an Executive Vice President. o As of October 1, 2003, and the first day of each calendar month thereafter, the aggregate number of Receivables the terms of which are currently modified under this program may not exceed one - half of one percent (0.5%) of (1) the number of Receivables transferred as of the original Transfer Date plus (2) the number of Receivables transferred as of each subsequent Transfer Date. A-1 B. General Payment Deferment Policy In addition to its Loss Mitigation Program, LBAC may defer certain payments under the following conditions and circumstances. o LBAC may grant a payment deferment provided that the deferment period does not exceed 1 month (2 months if 12 or more payments have been made and if the deferment is granted in writing by the President, or an Executive Vice President, or the National Collections Manager, or a Regional Manager). o Not more than 1 deferment event (which may consist of a 2 month deferment according to the exceptions included in the policy) may be granted during any 12-month period. o The aggregate of all deferment periods during the term of a Receivable may not exceed the lesser of 8 months or 50% of the weighted average life of the original term of the Receivable (including deferments granted both before and after the related Cutoff Date). o At least 6 payments must be made before a deferment may be granted. o A request for a deferment must be made in writing. o The deferment must bring the account current, so that after the deferment is processed no payment is then due. o Except as otherwise set forth in this policy, deferments must be granted in writing by the Collection Manager or someone of equal or higher rank. o A deferment fee will be collected for each deferment if allowed by applicable law and may be waived or deferred only by the President, or an Executive Vice President, or the National Collections Manager, or a Regional Manager; provided, however, that no deferment will be granted unless LBAC believes in good faith that the account probably would default in the reasonably foreseeable future if a deferment is not approved. o Deferments which do not meet the above criteria may be granted in writing on an exception basis (e.g., when required by law) by the President, or an Executive Vice President, or the National Collections Manager, or a Regional Manager. o As of October 1, 2003, and the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter, the aggregate number of Receivables the terms of which have been extended during the preceding calendar quarter shall not exceed 4% of the number of Receivables at the beginning of the preceding calendar quarter. o No deferment may extend the date for final payment of a Receivable beyond the last day of the record Collection Period preceding the Class A-4 Final Scheduled Payment Date. A-2 DUE DATE CHANGE POLICY ---------------------- In addition to its Payment Deferment Policy, LBAC may grant due date changes under the following conditions and circumstances. o LBAC may grant a due date change, provided that the new due date is within 20 days of the current due date. o Not more than 2 due date changes may be granted over the term of a Receivable. o If 2 due date changes are granted, the total number of days by which the maturity date is extended may not exceed 20. o A request for a due date change must be made in writing. o The account must be current at the time the request is received. o Due date changes must be granted in writing by the Collection Manager or someone of equal or higher rank. o No due date change may be granted if the aggregate of all deferment periods and the requested due date change would exceed the lesser of 8 months or 50% of the original term of the Receivable.
