The Back-Up Servicer shall, within 4 one (1) day of the receipt thereof, load the Servicer's Data File and confirm that such is in readable form. If the Back-up Servicer determines that the Servicer's Data File is not in readable form, the Back-up Servicer shall immediately upon discovery thereof notify the Servicer and the Collateral Agent by telephone of such, and upon such notification, the Servicer shall prepare and send a replacement Servicer's Data File to the Back-up Servicer satisfying the Back-up Servicer's specifications, for receipt by the Back-up Servicer on the next day.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 2.1 above, on or before one (1) Business Day prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer and the Collateral Agent shall provide sufficient data to 5 the Back-Up Servicer to allow the Back-Up Servicer to review the Monthly Servicer's Certificate related thereto and determine the following: (i) that such Monthly Servicer's Certificate is complete on its face; (ii) that the amounts credited to and withdrawn from the Collection Account and the balance of such account, as set forth in the records of the Collateral Agent are the same as the amount set forth in the Monthly Servicer's Certificate; and (iii) that the amounts credited to and withdrawn from the Reserve Account and the balance of such account, as set forth in the records of the Collateral Agent are the same as the amount set forth in the Monthly Servicer's Certificate. (b) The Back-Up Servicer shall, on or before the Distribution Date with respect to any Collection Period, verify the Monthly Servicer's Certificate in its entirety, which shall include but not be limited to the following: (i) the Aggregate Outstanding Eligible Loan Balance as of the last day of the relevant Collection Period; (ii) the Dealer Collections, Income Collections and Principle Collections, for the relevant Collection Period; (iii) the Weighted Average Advance Rate as of last day of the relevant Collection Period.

(i) Other than as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the Back-Up Servicer shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the performance of the Servicer and shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation, or liability (collectively "Liability") for any action taken or omitted by the Servicer. (ii) The Back-Up Servicer shall consult with the Servicer as may be necessary from time to time to perform or carry out the Back-Up Servicer's obligations hereunder, including the obligation, if requested in writing by the Collateral Agent, to succeed within thirty (30) days to the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.3. 6 (iii) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Back-up Servicer may accept and reasonably rely on all accounting, records and work of the Servicer without audit, and the Back-up Servicer shall have no Liability for the acts or omissions of the Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy or omission (collectively, "Errors") exists in any information received from the Servicer, and such Errors should cause or materially contribute to the Back-up Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively, "Continued Errors"), the Back-up Servicer shall have no Liability for such Continued Errors; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Back-up Servicer against any Liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in discovering or correcting any Error or in the performance of its or their duties hereunder or under this Agreement. In the event the Back-up Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, the Back-up Servicer shall, with the prior consent of the Collateral Agent, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and prevent future Continued Errors. The Back-up Servicer shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended from the Servicer. (iv) The Back-Up Servicer shall be indemnified by the Servicer and the Debtor from and against all claims, damages, losses or expenses reasonably incurred by the Back-Up Servicer (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of claims asserted against the Back-Up Servicer by third parties on any matter arising out of this Agreement to the extent the act or omission giving rise to the claim accrues before the date on which the Back-Up Servicer assumes the duties of Servicer hereunder, except for any claims, damages, losses or expenses arising from the Back-Up Servicer's own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. SECTION 2.3. Assumption of Servicer's Obligations. The Back-up Servicer agrees that within 30 days of receipt of a written notice from the Collateral Agent (such 30th day, the "Assumption Date") of the termination of the rights and obligations of CAC as Servicer pursuant to the Security Agreement, and without further notice, the Back-up Servicer shall assume the Servicer-Related Activities of CAC under the Security Agreement and further agrees that it shall assume all such Service-Related Activities in accordance with the requirements, terms and conditions set forth in the Security Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

On and after the Assumption Date, all references in the Security Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to the Servicing Agreement shall refer to this Agreement. SECTION 2.4. Servicing and Retention of Servicer. (a) Subject to early termination due to the occurrence of a Back-up Servicer Event of Default, or pursuant to Article V, or as otherwise provided below in this Section 2.4, on and after the Assumption Date, the Back-up Servicer shall be responsible for the servicing, administering, 7 managing and collection of the Loans in accordance herewith and the Security Agreement, and shall be and perform the obligations of the "Servicer" under the Security Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. (b) In the event of a Back-up Servicer Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to terminate the Back-up Servicer as servicer and back-up servicer hereunder. Upon the termination or resignation of the Back-up Servicer hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor back-up servicer (the "Successor Back-up Servicer") and enter into a back-up servicing agreement with such Successor Back-up Servicer at such time and exercise all of its rights under Section 4.3 of the Security Agreement, provided, however, that if such termination or resignation of the Back-up Servicer occurs prior to the Assumption Date, the appointment of the Successor Back-Up Servicer shall be mutually acceptable to CAC and the Collateral Agent. Such back-up servicing agreement shall specify the duties and obligations of such Successor Back-up Servicer, and all references herein and in the Security Agreement to the Back-up Servicer shall be deemed to refer to such Successor Back-up Servicer. (c) The Back-up Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement or the Security Agreement, as Servicer or as Back-up Servicer, as applicable, except upon a determination that by reason of a change in legal requirements, the performance of its duties hereunder or under the Security Agreement would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which would have a material adverse effect on the Back-up Servicer, and the Collateral Agent does not elect to waive the obligations of the Back-up Servicer 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 Back-up Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered and acceptable to the Collateral Agent. No resignation of the Back-up Servicer shall become effective until an entity reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Back-up Servicer. (d) Any Person (i) into which the Back-up Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Back-up Servicer shall be a party, (iii) which acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of the assets of the Back-up Servicer, or (iv) succeeding to the business of the Back-up Servicer, in any of the foregoing cases shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Back-up Servicer under this Agreement, the Security Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and, whether or not such assumption agreement is executed, shall be the successor to the Back-up Servicer under this Agreement, the Security Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement, the Security Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, anything herein or therein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that nothing contained herein or therein shall be deemed to release the Back-up Servicer from any obligation hereunder, under the Security Agreement or other Transaction Document. 8 (e) Following the Assumption Date, on or before ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year, beginning with the calendar year ending December 31, 2002, the Back-up Servicer shall cause a firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Back-up Servicer or the Debtor) to furnish a report to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties to the effect that they have (i) compared the information contained in the Monthly Servicer's Certificates delivered during such fiscal year, based on a sample size provided by the Collateral Agent, with the information contained in the Loans, the Contracts and the Back-up Servicer's records and computer systems for such period, and that, on the basis of such agreed upon procedures, such firm is of the opinion that the information contained in the Monthly Servicer's Certificates reconciles with the information contained in the Loans and the Contracts and the Back-up Servicer's records and computer system and that the servicing of the Loans and the Contracts has been conducted in compliance with this Agreement, (ii) verified the Aggregate Outstanding Eligible Loan Balance as of the end of each Collection Period during such fiscal year, and (iii) verified that a sample of Loans and Contracts treated by the Back-up Servicer as Eligible Loans and as Eligible Contracts, as applicable, in fact satisfied the requirements of the definition thereof contained herein and (iv) conducted a "negative confirmation"' of a sample of the Loans and Contracts and verified that the Back-up Servicer's records and computer system used in servicing the Loans and Contracts contained correct information with regard to due dates and outstanding balances, except, in each case for (a) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial (which exceptions need not be enumerated) and (b) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. SECTION 2.5. Servicing Duties of the Back-up Servicer. On and after the Assumption Date: (a) The Back-up Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to collect all amounts due under the Loans and Contracts from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit Guidelines and the Collection Guidelines. There shall be no recourse to the Back-up Servicer with regard to the Loans and Contracts. So long as no Termination Event shall have occurred, the Back-up Servicer may, unless otherwise required by law, in accordance with the Credit Guidelines, extend the maturity of Loans and Contracts, as the Back-up Servicer may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof. The Back-up Servicer shall hold in trust for the Secured Parties all records which evidence or relate to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event that a Successor Back-up Servicer is appointed, the outgoing Back-up Servicer shall deliver to the Successor Back-up Servicer and the Successor Back-up Servicer shall hold in trust for the Debtor and the Secured Parties all records which evidence or relate to all or any part of the Collateral. (b) The Back-up Servicer shall as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Debtor all records in its possession which evidence or relate to indebtedness of an Obligor which is not a Loan or Contract. 9 (c) The Back-up Servicer shall deposit all Collections into the Collection Account no later than two (2) Business Days after the Date of Processing. (d) In addition to the obligations of the Back-up Servicer under this Agreement, the Back-up Servicer shall perform all of the obligations of the Servicer as servicer under the Security Agreement and any other Transaction Document.

The provisions of this Section 2.5(e) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. SECTION 2.6. Other Obligations of the Back-up Servicer and Servicer. (a) In order to ensure preparedness to carry out the Service-Related Activities, the Back-up Servicer agrees that immediately upon execution of this Agreement, it will begin to formulate a contingency plan designed to execute a transition of the Service-Related Activities from CAC, and such plan shall be finalized within 90 days of execution of this Agreement. The contingency plan of the Back-up Servicer shall contemplate the services to be provided by the Back-up Servicer under this Agreement, the Security Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and, without limiting the obligations hereunder and thereunder, shall provide for the servicing and enforcement of the Loans and Contracts in a manner comparable to the servicing and enforcement of similar loans and contracts that the Back-up Servicer carries out for itself and others. (b) In order to further ensure preparedness to carry out Service-Related Activities, the Back-up Servicer will ready itself to receive data as if it were currently acting as Servicer. In this regard, the Back-up Servicer and CAC will agree upon the file layout and electronic medium to transfer such data to the Back-up Servicer . CAC shall provide to the Back-up Servicer a Test Data File within thirty (30) days of the execution of this Agreement, which shall include the Loan and Contract master file, the transaction history file and all other files necessary 10 to carry out the Service-Related Activities (the "Test Data File") in a format acceptable to the Back-up Servicer. The Back-up Servicer shall confirm to CAC in writing that the Test Date File is in the correct format or what, if any, changes or modifications are necessary. The Back-up Servicer shall develop a conversion program which maps the Test Data File to the Back-up Servicer's internal servicing system, convert the Test Data File to its internal servicing system ("Data Mapping"), and confirm in writing to CAC and the Collateral Agent that it has received and verified the completeness of the Test Data File within 90 days of receipt of such Test Data File. Upon a successful conversion, the Back-up Servicer agrees to provide CAC a copy of its conversion program source code and supporting programming documentation. Such source code and support programming documentation shall be considered confidential information. CAC agrees that it shall retain in strict confidence and shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that its agents and representatives retain in strict confidence, and will not disclose without the prior written consent of the Back-up Servicer, any such confidential information furnished to them except that CAC may disclose such information (i) to its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, auditors, affiliates, advisors or representatives (provided that such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of such information), (ii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through CAC or its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, auditors, affiliates, advisors or representatives, (iii) to the extent such information was available to CAC on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure to CAC hereunder or (iv) to the extent CAC should be required in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding to disclose such information. (c) Following CAC's receipt of the written confirmation verifying the completeness of the Test Data File in accordance with Section 2.6(b) above, no later than the 10th day of each calendar month thereafter and until the earlier of the Assumption Date or the termination of this Agreement, CAC shall provide a Live Data File transmission to the Back-up Servicer, which shall include the Loan and Contract master file, the transaction history file and all other files necessary to carry out the Service-Related Activities received in connection herewith (the "Live Data Files"). The Back-up Servicer shall convert the Live Data Files to its internal systems, and no later than five Business Days after the receipt thereof, shall confirm in writing (substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto) to CAC the accuracy and completeness of the conversion; provided, however, that such confirmation shall not be deemed to apply to the accuracy of the Live Data Files as provided by CAC, but shall be deemed only to apply to the accuracy of the conversion of the Live Data Files to the Back-up Servicer's internal systems. In the event of any changes in format with respect to either CAC or the Back-up Servicer CAC and the Back-up Servicer shall coordinate with each other for the replacement of the data files with files in the correct format, modified accordingly. To verify that Live Data Files have been accurately converted to the Back-up Servicer's internal servicing system, the Back-up Servicer will provide CAC with such reports as are mutually agreed upon by CAC and the Back-up Servicer from time to time. CAC reserves the right to review converted data on the Back-up Servicer's system either by performing an on-site review of the Back-up Servicer's systems or, at CAC's sole expense, by having remote access to the Back-up Servicer's systems. 11 (d) In connection with the Back-up Servicer assuming the obligations of Servicer hereunder, under the Security Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, CAC agrees that it shall (i) promptly make available to the Back-up Servicer access to all other records and information in the possession of CAC related to the Loans and the Contracts as may be necessary or reasonably requested by the Back-up Servicer in connection with the performance of the Back-up Servicer's obligations hereunder and thereunder, and (ii) cooperate in good faith with the Back-up Servicer and the Collateral Agent in connection with any transition of the servicing of the Loans and Contracts to the Back-up Servicer. SECTION 2.7. Servicing Compensation. As compensation for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and with respect to the Security Agreement, and any other Transaction document, the Back-up Servicer is entitled to (a) a one time set-up fee of $7,500 to be paid by CAC and (b) on each Remittance Date that relates to a Collection Period that preceded the Assumption Date, the Monthly Back-up Servicing Fee On each Remittance Date that relates to a Collection Period that follows the Assumption Date, the Monthly Servicing Fee, which shall be amended effective as of the Assumption Date, to be the sum of fees due for specified services performed. The associated charges for those specified services are specified on Exhibit A hereto (the "Monthly Servicing Fee Schedule.") All monthly fees hereunder shall be prorated for the actual number of days in a Collection Period that have elapsed (including the first but excluding the last day) with respect to which such fee applies. To the extent the Assumption Date occurs within a Collection Period, the Monthly Back-up Servicing fee shall apply to that portion of the Collection Period that occurred prior to the Assumption Date and the Monthly Servicing Fee shall apply to the remainder of the Collection Period.

At any time following the Assumption Date: (a) The Collateral Agent may direct that payment of all amounts payable under any Loans or Contracts be made directly to the Back-up Servicer, the Collateral Agent or its designee. (b) The Servicer shall, (unless otherwise directed by the Collateral Agent) (i) assemble all of the records relating to the Collateral and shall make the same available to the Back-up Servicer (or the Collateral Agent if so directed by the Collateral Agent) at a place selected by the Back-up Servicer or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and (ii) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting collections of Collateral in a manner acceptable to the Collateral Agent and shall, promptly upon receipt but no later than one Business Day after receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, as directed by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 2.9 Liability of the Back-Up Servicer; Standard of Care. (a) The Back-Up Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Back-Up Servicer in such capacity herein.

No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Back-Up Servicer and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Back-Up Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer may conclusively rely on the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Back-Up Servicer and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement. The Back-up Servicer shall perform its obligations hereunder and under the Security Agreement and the other Transaction Documents using the same standard of care as it uses in respect of servicing, collecting and enforcing contracts or receivables for itself or others. (b) The Back-Up Servicer shall not be charged with knowledge of any Termination Event or Potential Termination Event unless an officer of the Back-Up Servicer obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Back-Up Servicer receives written notice of such event from the Debtor, the Servicer, the Company, or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be. (c) The Back-Up Servicer shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance 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 against such risks or liability is not reasonably assured to it in writing prior to the expenditure of such funds or the incurrence of financial liability.
