(a) At or prior to the Closing Date, Originator will have filed or caused to be filed UCC-1 financing statements, (i) naming Originator as seller or debtor and naming Seller as purchaser or secured party, (ii) naming Seller as seller or debtor and the Issuer as purchaser or secured party, and (iii) naming Issuer as debtor and Indenture Trustee as secured party and describing the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property being transferred as collateral, in such locations as are required in order to perfect the transfers and pledges thereof under the Related Documents. From time to time thereafter, Originator will execute and file such financing statements and cause to be executed and filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of Seller under this Agreement, of the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture in the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property and in the proceeds thereof. Originator will deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Seller, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing. In the event that Originator fails to perform its obligations under this subsection, Seller, Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may do so, at the expense of such Originator. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Originator hereby authorizes the Seller, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to file a record or records (as defined in the applicable UCC), including financing statements, in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as each may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to the Seller pursuant to Section 6.9. Such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as such party may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the collateral granted to the Seller herein. 7 (b) Originator will not change its name, identity, state of incorporation or corporate structure in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by Originator (or by Seller, Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Originator) in accordance with Section 4.1(a) seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-506 of the applicable UCC, unless they will have given Seller, Issuer, Insurer and the Indenture Trustee at least 60 days' prior written notice thereof, and will promptly file appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements and continuation statements. (c) Originator shall at all times maintain each office from which it services Receivables and its principal executive office within the United States of America. (d) Prior to the Closing Date, Originator has maintained accounts and records as to each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time as of or prior to the Closing Date, the status of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each Receivable and the Principal Balance as of the Closing Date. Originator will maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of transfer under this Agreement of the Receivables to Seller, the conveyance of the Receivables by Seller to the Issuer, Originator's master computer records (including archives) that will refer to a Receivable indicate clearly that such Receivable has been transferred to the Seller and has been conveyed by Seller to Issuer. Indication of the Issuer's ownership of a Receivable will be deleted from or modified on Originator's computer systems when, and only when, the Receivable will become a Purchased Receivable or will have been paid in full. (e) If at any time Originator proposes to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in any motor vehicle receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, Originator will give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or print-outs (including any restored from archives) that, if they refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable (other than a Purchased Receivable), will indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold by the Originator and is owned by the Issuer. SECTION 4.2 Reserved. SECTION 4.3 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder, Originator will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on the Receivables or the Other Conveyed Property or any interest herein and Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on the Receivables or the Other Conveyed Property or any interest therein, and Originator will defend the right, title, and interest of Seller and the Issuer in and to the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Originator and Seller will defend the right, title, and interest of the Issuer in and to the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Seller. 8 SECTION 4.4 Costs and Expenses.

The indemnity obligations hereunder will be in addition to any obligation that Originator may otherwise have. SECTION 4.6 Indemnification by the Seller.

(b) Seller will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders and the Insurer from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims, and liabilities, arising out of or resulting from any Taxes which may at any time be asserted against such Persons with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) the conveyance or ownership of 9 the Receivables or the Other Conveyed Property hereunder, (ii) the conveyance or ownership of the Receivables under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (iii) the issuance and original sale of the Notes and the issuance of the Certificate, and costs and expenses in defending against the same, arising by reason of the acts to be performed by Seller under this Agreement or imposed against such Persons. Indemnification under this Section 4.6 will include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation and will survive payment of the Notes and the Certificate and termination of this Agreement. The indemnity obligations hereunder will be in addition to any obligation that the Seller may otherwise have. ARTICLE V. REPURCHASES SECTION 5.1 Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Warranty. Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, Originator will, unless the breach which is the subject of such Repurchase Event will have been cured in all material respects, repurchase the Receivable relating thereto from the Issuer and, simultaneously with the repurchase of the Receivable, Originator will deposit the Purchase Amount in full, without deduction or offset, to the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. It is understood and agreed that, except as set forth in Section 6.1, the obligation of Originator to repurchase any Receivable, as to which a breach occurred and is continuing, will, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against Originator for such breach available to Seller, the Issuer, the Insurer, the Backup Servicer, the Noteholders, the Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholder. This Section 5.1 is intended to grant the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee a direct right against Originator to demand performance hereunder, and in connection therewith, Originator waives any requirement of prior demand against Seller with respect to such repurchase obligation. Any such repurchase will take place in the manner specified in Section 3.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of Originator under this Section 5.1 will not terminate upon a termination of Originator as Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and will be performed in accordance with the terms hereof notwithstanding the failure of the Servicer or Seller to perform any of their respective obligations with respect to such Receivable under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding whether the related Receivable will have been purchased by Originator, Originator will indemnify the Seller, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Insurer, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder from and 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 Repurchase Events. SECTION 5.2 Reassignment of Purchased Receivables. Upon deposit in the Collection Account of the Purchase Amount of any Receivable repurchased by Originator under 10 Section 5.1, the Issuer will take such steps as may be reasonably requested by Originator in order to assign to Originator all of the Issuer's right, title and interest in and to such Receivable and all security and documents and all Other Conveyed Property conveyed to the Issuer directly relating thereto, without recourse, representation or warranty, except as to the absence of Liens created by or arising as a result of actions of the Issuer. Such assignment will be a sale and assignment outright, and not for security. If, following the reassignment of a Purchased Receivable, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it is held that Originator may not enforce any such Receivable on the ground that it will not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the Issuer will, at the expense of Originator, take such steps as Originator deems reasonably necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in the Issuer's name. SECTION 5.3 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of Seller, or the Issuer as assignee of Seller, in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. ARTICLE VI. MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 6.1 Liability of Originator and Seller. Each of Originator and Seller will be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations in this Agreement specifically undertaken by each of Originator, and Seller, respectively and the representations and warranties of each of Originator and Seller, respectively. SECTION 6.2 Merger or Consolidation of Originator or Seller. Any corporation, limited liability company or other entity (i) into which Originator or Seller may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which Originator or Seller is a party or (iii) succeeding to the business of Originator or Seller, in the case of Seller, which corporation, limited liability company or other entity has a certificate of incorporation or limited liability company agreement containing provisions relating to limitations on business and other matters substantively identical to those contained in Seller's limited liability company agreement, provided that in any of the foregoing cases such corporation or other entity will execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of Originator or Seller, as the case may be, under this Agreement and, whether or not such assumption agreement is executed, will be the successor to Originator or Seller, as the case may be, hereunder (without relieving Originator or Seller of their responsibilities hereunder, if it survives such merger or consolidation) without the execution or filing of any document or any further action by any of the parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller will not merge or consolidate with any other Person or permit any other Person to become the successor to Seller's business without the prior written consent of the Insurer. Originator or Seller will promptly inform the other parties, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and, so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Insurer, of such merger, consolidation or purchase and assumption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a condition to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, (x) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Sections 3.1 (other then subsection (f) thereof in connection with a change in control as provided in the Insurance Agreement) and 3.2 will have 11 been breached (for purposes hereof, such representations and warranties will be true and correct as of the date of the consummation of such transaction) and with respect to a transaction involving the Seller, no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an event of default under the Insurance Agreement, has occurred and is continuing, (y) with respect to a transaction involving the Seller, Seller will have delivered written notice of such consolidation, merger or purchase and assumption to the Rating Agencies prior to the consummation of such transaction and will have delivered to the Issuer, the Insurer and the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 6.2 and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with, and (z) Originator or Seller, as applicable, will have delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, stating, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables and reciting the details of the filings or (B) no such action will be necessary to preserve and protect such interest. SECTION 6.3 Limitation on Liability of Originator, and Seller and Others. Originator, and Seller and any director, officer, employee or agent thereof may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement. Originator, or Seller will not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its obligations under this Agreement or its Related Documents and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability. SECTION 6.4 Originator May Own Notes or the Certificate. Subject to the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Originator and any Affiliate of Originator may in their individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Notes or the Certificate with the same rights as they would have if they were not Originator or an Affiliate thereof.

Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Each Receivable created or will create a valid, binding and enforceable first priority security interest in favor of the Originator in the Financed Vehicle.

No Impairment.

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 Triad with respect to such Receivable. 22. 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. 23. No Default. There has been no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable (other than payment delinquencies of not more than 30 days and other defaults that will not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Obligor to make, nor the enforceability of Obligor's obligation to make, Scheduled Receivables Payments and will not have a material adverse effect on the validity or priority of Originator's lien on the Financed Vehicle), and no condition exists or event has occurred and is continuing that with notice, the lapse 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 by or at the direction of the Originator. 24. Insurance. At the time of an origination of a Receivable by Triad or a purchase of a Receivable by Triad from a Dealer or Third-Party Lender, each Financed Vehicle covered by a comprehensive and collision insurance policy (i) subject to maximum deductibles of $500 for collision coverage and $500 for comprehensive coverage, (ii) naming Triad as loss payee and (iii) insuring against loss and damage due to fire, theft, transportation, collision and other risks generally covered by comprehensive and collision coverage.
