(e) Valid Sale. The sale pursuant to this Agreement by the Seller and the purchase by Recco of the Purchased Contracts on such Purchase Date constitutes and will constitute a valid sale and contribution of such Purchased Contracts and the other Collateral and the proceeds thereof, which sale and contribution is and will be enforceable against the Seller and all existing and future creditors of the Seller and all subsequent purchasers from the Seller or Recco of any of the Purchased Contracts.

(c) Recco may at any time and from time to time prepay the Seller Note, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, provided that a Wind-Down Event would not occur as a result of such prepayment. Section 5.2 Restrictions on Transfer of Seller Note. Neither the Seller Note nor any right of the Seller to receive any payment thereunder, shall be assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, hypothecated, participated or otherwise conveyed except with the prior written consent of the Controlling Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Section 5.3 Subordinated Note. (a) On the Closing Date, Recco issued to the Seller the subordinated note substantially in the form of Exhibit B (the "Subordinated Note"). The principal amount of the Subordinated Note shall be calculated pursuant to the Daily Report and, on any day, shall be 23 equal to the Subordinated Interest on such day; provided, however, that the principal amount of the Subordinated Note shall be fixed on and not be recalculated after the Commitment Termination Date. (b) Interest on the principal amount of the Subordinated Note shall accrue at a rate set forth in the Subordinated Note. Principal and interest payments on the Subordinated Note may be made only to the extent permitted by the Security Agreement. Principal amounts outstanding on the Subordinated Note shall increase concurrently with the payment of the Purchase Price pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3(a)(ii) hereof. Principal payments on the Subordinated Note shall become payable only upon the release of Collateral by the Collateral Agent pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 23(b) of the Security Agreement. Except to the extent permitted by the Security Agreement, the Seller agrees not to ask, demand, sue for or take or receive from Recco in cash or other property, by set-off or in any other manner, (including, without limitation, from or by way of the Collateral), payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Note. (c) The Seller agrees upon any distribution of all or any of the assets of Recco to creditors of Recco upon the dissolution, winding up, total or partial liquidation, arrangement, reorganization, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of Recco or its debts, any payment or distribution of any kind (including, without limitation, cash, property, securities and any payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other Debt of Recco being subordinated to the payment of the Subordinated Note) in respect of the Subordinated Note that otherwise would be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Subordinated Note, directly or indirectly, by set-off or in any other manner, including, without limitation, from or by way of the Collateral, shall be paid or delivered directly to the Collateral Agent for application (in the case of cash) to or as Collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for the payment or prepayment in full of, the Obligations until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. The Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of the Seller or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution referred to in the preceding sentence and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including, without limitation, voting the Subordinated Note and enforcing any security interest or other lien securing payment of the Subordinated Note) as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interest of the holders of the Obligations. The Seller shall duly and promptly take such action as the Collateral Agent may request to (i) collect the Subordinated Note for the account of the holders of the Obligations and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Note, (ii) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such powers of attorney, assignments or other instruments as the Collateral Agent may request in order to enable the Collateral Agent to enforce any and all claims with respect to, and any security interests and other liens securing payment of, the Subordinated Note, and (iii) collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Subordinated Note. (d) All payments or distributions upon or with respect to the Subordinated Note that are received by the Seller contrary to the provisions of the Operative Documents shall be 24 received in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by the Seller and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to, or held as Collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for the payment or prepayment in full of, the Obligations until such Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. The Seller agrees that no payment or distribution to the holders of the Obligations pursuant to the provisions of the Subordinated Note shall entitle the Seller to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof against Recco until the Obligations and all principal and interest under the Seller Note shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. The Seller and Recco hereby waive promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and any requirement that the Collateral Agent protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against Recco or any other Person or any Collateral. (e) The Subordinated Note is secured by the Collateral pursuant to the Subordinated Security Agreement, subject to the prior lien of the Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement. No payments may be received, directly or indirectly, by the Seller (and if received, the Seller agrees to return such payments to Recco) on the Subordinated Note unless Recco has paid all amounts required pursuant to the Security Agreement to be paid prior to any payments in respect of the Subordinated Note. (f) The Seller agrees and confirms that the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty whatsoever to the Seller, in the Seller's capacity as holder of the Subordinated Note, and that the Collateral Agent shall not be liable to the Seller for any action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Subordinated Note or the Collateral under the Security Agreement. (g) Prior to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the other Obligations, the Seller will not seek to collect any amounts owing under the Subordinated Note or exercise or enforce any of its rights under the Subordinated Security Agreement. (h) The Seller and Recco further agree that at no time hereafter will any part of the indebtedness represented by the Subordinated Note be represented by any negotiable instruments or other writings except the Subordinated Note. (i) The Seller and Recco waive notice of and consent to the creation of the Loans and any of the other Obligations, any extensions granted or other action taken by the Lenders, the Surety Provider, the Administrative Agent, any Group Agent or the Collateral Agent with respect thereto, the taking or releasing of Collateral or any obligors or guarantors for the payment thereof, and the releasing of the Seller or any other subordinated creditors. No failure or delay by the Lenders, the Surety Provider, the Administrative Agent, any Group Agent or the Collateral Agent to exercise any right granted herein, or in any other agreement or by law shall constitute a waiver of such right or of any other right. (j) The terms of the Subordinated Note and the subordination effected hereby, and the rights of the Lenders, the Surety Provider, the Administrative Agent, each Group Agent and the Collateral Agent and the obligations of the Seller and Recco arising hereunder, shall not be affected, modified or impaired in any manner or to any extent by (a) any amendment or 25 modification of or supplement to any provision of the Operative Documents or any instrument or document executed or delivered pursuant thereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby; (b) the validity or enforceability of any of such documents; (c) any exercise or non-exercise of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of the other Obligations or any instruments or documents related thereto or arising at law; or (d) any waiver, consent, release, indulgence, extension, renewal, modification, delay or other action, inaction or omission in respect of the other Obligations or any of the instruments or documents related thereto. Section 5.4 Restrictions on Transfer of Subordinated Note. Neither the Subordinated Note nor any right of the Seller to receive any payment thereunder, shall be assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, hypothecated, participated or otherwise conveyed; provided, however, that the Seller may pledge or otherwise transfer the Subordinated Note with the prior written consent of the Controlling Party; provided, further, that any such transferee or pledgee of the Subordinated Note shall (i) be bound by all of the terms applicable to the Subordinated Note set forth in the Operative Documents and (ii) execute an agreement containing a provision substantially in the form of Section 9.15 hereof. ARTICLE VI TERMINATION OF COMMITMENT Section 6.1 Termination. (a) Subject to the payment of any and all fees required to be paid pursuant to the Fee Letters and the Insurance Agreement, the Seller may terminate the commitment of the Lenders to make loans at any time by giving ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Recco, the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent. (b) The commitment of the Lenders to make loans shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date. Section 6.2 Remedies. (a) On the Commitment Termination Date, all purchases by, and sales to, Recco of Contracts hereunder shall immediately cease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recco hereby agrees that under no circumstances shall the Seller be liable for, or required to pay any Indemnified Amount, other than as set forth in Section 4.5, resulting from, (i) the credit risk of an Obligor, or for which payment therefor would otherwise constitute recourse to the Seller for an uncollectible Contract or Contracts (except to the extent made uncollectible by acts or omissions of the Seller or, if the Servicer is the Seller or an Affiliate thereof, the Servicer) or (ii) gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party to which such Indemnified Amount would otherwise be due. (b) Any Indemnified Amount due hereunder shall be payable 15 days after demand. Section 7.2 Rights of Inspection.

(b) Recco and Onyx shall, upon written notice from (i) the Controlling Party or, (ii) with prior written consent of or at the request of, the Controlling Party, allow the Surety Provider, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent to institute, assume or control the defense of any action, proceeding or investigation that could materially adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Surety Provider, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent under the Operative Documents or any other document delivered with respect thereto, if Onyx or Recco (as the case may be) shall not be actively defending such action, proceeding or investigation. (c) Neither Recco nor Onyx shall, without the Controlling Party's prior written consent or unless directed by the Controlling Party, agree to any settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation that could materially adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Surety Provider, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent under the Operative Documents or any other document delivered with respect thereto.

ARTICLE VIII THE SERVICER Section 8.1 Appointment of Servicer. Recco hereby appoints the Seller to act as servicer of the Purchased Contracts in the name of and on behalf of Recco, its successors and assigns, in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Seller hereby accepts such appointment. The Servicer shall use reasonable care (and, in any event, no less care than it exercises with respect to all Contracts it services for itself and others) in performing its duties as servicer hereunder using at least that degree of skill and attention that a prudent Person similarly situated and charged with similar functions would utilize and, without limiting the foregoing, shall service the Purchased Contracts in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, and all applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Servicer or its agent shall hold the Files. The duties of the Servicer will include, without limitation, collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors regarding the Purchased Contracts, investigating delinquencies, remitting payments to the Group Agents, the Administrative Agent and the other Persons entitled thereto in a timely manner, furnishing monthly, quarterly and annual statements with respect to collections and payments in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and maintaining the perfected first priority security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral as contemplated in this Agreement and the Security Agreement. Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Servicer shall accelerate the maturity of all or any scheduled payments under any Purchased Contract under which a default under the terms thereof has occurred and is continuing (after the lapse of any applicable grace period) no later than the date such Contract becomes a Defaulted Contract. If required by law, the Servicer shall collect all payments with respect to amounts due for taxes, assessments and insurance premiums relating to such Contracts and remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer on or prior to the date such payments are due. In any case in which any Vehicle related to a Purchased Contract has suffered damage, the Servicer will expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the repossession of such Vehicle if it reasonably determines that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount expended. The Servicer will be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with payments and reports pursuant to this Agreement, and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement to be for the account of the Seller. The Servicer will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to any bank or trust company in connection with the 30 maintenance of the Bank Accounts and the fees and reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent, each Group Agent and the Collateral Agent. The Servicer shall be required to pay such fees and expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment or reimbursement therefor other than as expressly provided for in the Operative Documents. Section 8.2 Collections. (a) On each Business Day, all Collections received in any Lock-Box shall be transferred to the Clearing Account on next Business Day. Except as provided in Section 8.2(c), all Collections received by the Servicer in any other manner shall be transferred to the Clearing Account on the next Business Day following receipt and until so transferred, the Servicer shall hold such cash and other items in trust for the benefit of Recco. All Collections in the Clearing Account shall be transferred to the Collection Account on the next Business Day after such Collections are transferred into the Clearing Account. (b) The Servicer will, at the Servicer's cost and expense and as agent in the name of and on behalf of Recco, but subject at any time to the right of Recco to direct and control, endeavor to collect, as and when the same becomes due, all amounts owing on each Purchased Contract. In the event of default by an Obligor under any Purchased Contract, the Servicer shall have the power and authority, on behalf of Recco, to take such action in respect of such Purchased Contract and the Vehicle related thereto as the Servicer, in the absence of contrary instructions from Recco, may deem advisable, including the power to sell such Vehicle; provided however that in no event shall the Servicer sell any Purchased Contract without the prior written consent of the Controlling Party. In the enforcement or collection of any Purchased Contract, the Servicer shall be entitled to sue thereon in its own name or as agent for Recco, in either case, for the account of Recco. (c) In the event the Servicer repossesses the Vehicle subject to any Purchased Contract, the Servicer agrees to use its reasonable efforts to resell such Vehicle for the account of Recco and the Collateral Agent and shall remit by deposit in the Collection Account the gross sale proceeds thereof, net of any costs incurred by any Person with respect to any such repossession and resale which costs shall not exceed the gross sale proceeds. Recco shall have no obligation to take any action or commence any proceedings to realize upon any Purchased Contract or to enforce any of its rights or remedies with respect thereto. Any moneys collected by the Servicer pursuant to this subsection shall be segregated by the Servicer, held in trust by the Servicer for Recco and shall be remitted to the Collection Account on the Business Day of receipt thereof by the Servicer. Section 8.3 Maintenance of Records; Quarterly and Annual Reports. (a) The books of account and other records pertaining to the Purchased Contracts are the property of Recco and subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent. Recco agrees that the Servicer shall hold such records as custodian for the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the holders of the Obligations) and Onyx. The Servicer shall maintain all books of account and other records pertaining to the Purchased Contracts in such form as will enable Recco, the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent or their designees to determine at any time the status of the Purchased Contracts. The Servicer will permit Recco, the Surety Provider, the Administrative Agent or any 31 Group Agent and any Person designated by Recco, the Surety Provider, the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent, upon reasonable prior notice and during regular business hours, to inspect, audit, check and make abstracts from all books, accounts, records, or other papers pertaining to such Purchased Contracts. From time to time, at the request of Recco, the Surety Provider, the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent, the Servicer, at its own expense, will deliver to Recco, the Surety Provider, the Administrative Agent, each Group Agent and any Person designated by Recco, the Surety Provider or the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent any records and invoices pertaining to the Purchased Contracts and evidence thereof as Recco, the Surety Provider, the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent or such designee may deem necessary to enable it to enforce its rights thereunder. In addition, at the request of the Controlling Party after delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice or earlier termination or resignation of the Servicer, the Servicer will deliver all such records and invoices pertaining thereto (including bills of lading) and other evidence thereof to any Person selected by the Controlling Party. Whether or not any such item is the property of Recco, each Contract, computer record, invoice, ledger card, account record or other evidence of, or record relating to, the Purchased Contracts maintained at the office of the Servicer or the office of Seller, if requested by the Controlling Party, will be marked as the Controlling Party may direct to indicate the ownership thereof by Recco and/or the Lien of the Collateral Agent thereon. The Servicer will segregate from all other Contracts then owned or being serviced by the Servicer all documents relating to the Purchased Contracts and will hold in trust (if such document is not owned by Recco) and safely keep such documents in separate filing cabinets or other suitable containers marked to show Recco's and the Collateral Agent's interest with such legend as shall be specified by the Controlling Party and maintained in such place or places as shall be designated by the Controlling Party. (b) The Servicer will deliver to Recco, the Surety Provider ,the Administrative Agent, each Group Agent and any Person designated by the Controlling Party, within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Servicer, a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer stating that (a) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding fiscal quarter and of its performance under this Agreement was made under the supervision of the officer signing such certificate and (b) based on such review, the Servicer has fully performed all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such period (including its obligations to prepare and deliver each Daily Report and Monthly Report) in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, or, if there has been a default in the performance of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. (c) The Servicer, at its expense, will cause a firm of Independent public accountants satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each Group Agent and the Surety Provider to furnish a report (the "Annual Report") to Recco, the Administrative Agent, each Group Agent and any Person designated by the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent, on or before March 31st of each year, beginning March 31, 2004, stating that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Contracts during the preceding fiscal year and that such examination, which has been conducted substantially in accordance with audit guides or audit programs generally recognized to be applicable to audits of receivables similar to the Contracts, has disclosed no items of noncompliance with the provisions of this Agreement 32 throughout such period which, in the opinion of such firm, are material, except for such items of non-compliance as shall be set forth in such report. Section 8.4 Servicing Fee. On each Determination Date, to the extent provided for in the Security Agreement and subject to Section 8.11(c) in the case of any Successor Servicer, as full compensation for its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee. Section 8.5 Resignation; Sub-Contracting. (a) The obligation of the Servicer to service the Purchased Contracts is personal to the Servicer and the parties recognize that another Person may not be qualified to perform such obligations. Accordingly, the Servicer's obligation to service the Purchased Contracts hereunder shall be specifically enforceable and shall be absolute and unconditional in all circumstances, including, without limitation, after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Servicer Termination Event hereunder; provided, however, that a Successor Servicer may be appointed pursuant to Section 8.11 hereof. (b) The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer except upon determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under any applicable law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under any such applicable law. Any determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to Recco, the Surety Provider, the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent. Except to the extent inconsistent with any such applicable law, no such resignation shall become effective until a Successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 8.11 hereof. (c) If the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law or the cost of such performance is such that its continuation as Servicer is not warranted as a financial matter, the Servicer may, with the prior written consent of the Controlling Party and to the extent permitted by applicable law, subcontract with any other Person to service, administer or collect the Purchased Contracts, provided that the Person with whom the Servicer so subcontracts shall not become the Servicer hereunder and the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Section 8.6 Termination. The Servicer's obligations under this Agreement shall terminate upon the termination of both the Credit Agreement and the Insurance Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue to be obligated to do all things necessary to apply Collections on the Purchased Contracts that it receives after such termination in the manner provided in this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder with respect thereto.
