(vii) the Data File and the Image File;

(viii) the right to recover any Cram Down Losses;

(ix) all Service Contracts; and

(x) all Proceeds of the foregoing.

(b)  Notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.01(a), the Seller/Servicer shall not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise convey to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall not purchase, and the Sold Assets shall not include, (i) any right, title or interest in and to any assets other than those specifically included in the definition of Sold Assets or (ii) without diminishing the “servicing released” nature of the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Sold Assets, servicing compensation earned by Seller/Servicer, and other rights of the Seller/Servicer, as servicer under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the applicable Indenture Supplements and any other agreement providing compensation rights to the Seller/Servicer as Servicer (the assets described in clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Excluded Assets”).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Excluded Assets shall include, without limitation: (i) any Contract that is not an Eligible Contract, (ii) any Dealer Agreements (and any rights and benefits arising therefrom) and (iii) any Tax Returns (except to the extent relating to the Contracts) and any books or records relating to Taxes of the Seller/Servicer and any of its Affiliates, representatives and agents.  The Purchaser agrees that it shall promptly return any Excluded Assets to the Seller/Servicer if any such Excluded Assets are delivered to the Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall assume and shall pay, perform or otherwise discharge, the following obligations with respect to the Sold Assets (collectively, the “Purchaser Obligations”):

(i) all obligations of the Seller/Servicer arising on or after the Closing Date to Obligors or to perform under Contracts; and

(ii) all liabilities arising on or after the Closing Date associated with the ownership of the Financed Vehicles.

Notwithstanding the terms of this Section 2.01(c), other than the Purchaser Obligations, the Purchaser shall not assume any liability or obligation of the Seller/Servicer arising on or after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any liability or obligation under any Dealer Agreement.

(c)  Except as specifically provided in Article VII of this Agreement or under any of the Related Documents, all transfers of Sold Assets on the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement shall be without recourse to the Seller/Servicer or any of its respective Affiliates; it being understood that the Seller/Servicer or any of its respective Affiliates shall, subject to the limitations set forth in Article VII hereof, be liable to the Purchaser for indemnities relating to all representations, warranties and covenants made by the Seller/Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of which obligations are further limited so as not to constitute credit recourse to the Seller/Servicer or any of its Affiliates for the Obligors under the Contracts.

(d)  The Seller/Servicer and the Purchaser intend the transfer of Sold Assets on the Closing Date to be a “true sale” by the Seller/Servicer to the Purchaser that is absolute and irrevocable and that provides the Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the Sold Assets, and neither the Seller/Servicer nor the Purchaser intend the transactions contemplated hereunder to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from the Purchaser to the Seller/Servicer.  Furthermore, it is neither the intention of the Purchaser nor the Seller/Servicer that the conveyance of the Sold Assets by the Seller/Servicer be deemed a grant of a security interest in the Sold Assets by the Seller/Servicer to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller/Servicer.  However, in the event and to the extent that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties hereto, any Sold Asset is considered by a court of competent jurisdiction to be property of the Seller/Servicer’s estate, then (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be and shall be a security agreement within the meaning of applicable Law, and (ii) the conveyance by the Seller/Servicer provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller/Servicer to the Purchaser of, and the Seller/Servicer will grant to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, a security interest in and to all of the Seller/Servicer’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Sold Assets, whether now or hereafter existing or created, to secure (1) the rights of the Purchaser hereunder, (2) a loan by the Purchaser to the Seller/Servicer in an amount equal to the Aggregate Purchase Price and (3) without limiting the foregoing, the payment and performance of the Seller/Servicer’s obligations (whether monetary or otherwise) hereunder.  The Seller/Servicer and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Sold Assets, such security interest

would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority in favor of the Purchaser under applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout the Term of this Agreement.

(e)  The Purchaser will acquire the Sold Assets on the Closing Date on a servicing-released basis.  Consistent with the foregoing, as between the parties to this Agreement, following the Closing, the Purchaser shall have the sole right to service, administer and collect the Sold Assets and to assign and/or delegate such right to any Person and, except as specifically set forth herein, the Seller/Servicer or any of its respective Affiliates shall have no obligation to service, administer or collect the Sold Assets after the Closing Date.

(f)  Except as set forth in Section 4.06, the Purchaser shall have no obligation to account to the Seller/Servicer or any of its Affiliates for the Sold Assets.  The Purchaser shall have no obligation to account for, or to return Scheduled Payments on, or with respect to, a Sold Asset, or any interest or other finance charge collected pursuant thereto, to the Seller/Servicer or any of its Affiliates, irrespective of whether such collections and charges are in excess of the amount paid for such Sold Asset.  The Purchaser shall have the sole right to retain any gains or profits created by buying, selling or holding the Sold Assets and shall have the sole risk of and responsibility for losses or damages created by such buying, selling or holding.

(g)  The Purchaser shall have the unrestricted right to further assign, transfer, deliver, hypothecate, subdivide or otherwise deal with all of the Purchaser’s right, title and interest in and to the Sold Assets in whole or in part on whatever terms the Purchaser shall determine.

(h)  Except for the Purchaser Obligations, the Purchaser shall have no obligation or liability under any agreement included in the Sold Assets.  No obligation or liability other than the Purchaser Obligations is intended to be assumed by the Purchaser hereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed.

The following documents will be delivered prior to or at the Closing:

(a)  Andrews Kurth LLP, as counsel to the Seller/Servicer, shall furnish to the Purchaser their written opinion, addressed to the Purchaser and dated the Closing, regarding the enforceability of each of the Seller/Servicer’s obligations under certain of the Related Documents;

Section 2.05                                Payment of Aggregate Purchase Price; Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a)           Purchaser must pay to Seller/Servicer the purchase price described in the Pricing Letter (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) in return for the related Purchased Assets.

The Aggregate Purchase Price shall be calculated based on the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Contracts set forth on Schedule A.  This Aggregate Purchase Price is payable by Purchaser to Seller/Servicer first, to the extent that Purchaser has cash available therefor in immediately available funds on the Closing Date and second by Seller/Servicer making and Purchaser accepting a contribution to Purchaser’s capital in an amount equal to the portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price not paid in cash pursuant to clause “first” above.

(b)           On or before September 26, 2008, the Seller/Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser the Estimated Closing Statement, together with all other documentation necessary to support the components set forth therein. Thereafter, from the date of initial delivery thereof to and including the Closing Date, the Seller/Servicer and the Purchaser shall amend such Estimated Closing Statement on a mutually agreeable basis in order to reflect the reconciliations or discussions with respect thereto. On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall pay Seller/Servicer the Aggregate Purchase Price (excluding any adjustment payments, if any, payable pursuant to Section 2.04(d)) based on the Estimated Closing Statement.  Payment to Seller/Servicer to be made in cash on the Closing Date shall be made by a wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller/Servicer.  As promptly as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, the Seller/Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser a statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) indicating the actual amounts for the items included in the Estimated Closing Statement, with such amounts being calculated in a manner consistent with the calculation of such amounts on the Estimated Closing Statement.  The Final Closing Statement delivered by the Seller/Servicer to the Purchaser shall be deemed to be, and shall be, final, binding and conclusive, absent manifest error, on the parties hereto.

(c)           Within ten (10) Business Days following the delivery of the Final Closing Statement pursuant to this Section 2.04, the adjustment payments, if any, payable pursuant to

(d)

Section 2.05(d) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Seller/Servicer or the Purchaser, as the case may be.

(e)           The Purchaser shall make an adjustment payment to the Seller/Servicer in an amount equal to the amount if any, that the Aggregate Purchase Price on the Final Closing Statement is greater than the Aggregate Purchase Price on the Estimated Closing Statement, or the Seller/Servicer shall make an adjustment payment to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the amount if any, that the Aggregate Purchase Price on the Final Closing Statement is less than the Aggregate Purchase Price on the Estimated Closing Statement.

(f)           In the event that either party determines after the date on which the Final Closing Statement is delivered that a Contract should not have been categorized as an Eligible Contract for purposes of calculating the Aggregate Purchase Price, then the parties agree that a further adjustment to the Aggregate Purchase Price shall be made and, in such event, Seller/Servicer shall pay to Purchaser an amount (the “Repurchase Price”) equal to the sum of (i) the product of the Purchase Price Percentage (as defined in the Pricing Letter) and the Principal Balance of such Contract and (ii) all related due and owing Finance Charges for such Contract as of the date of such repurchase, and the Purchaser shall return or cause to be returned to the Seller/Servicer or its designee the related Custodial File and Servicing File, free and clear of any and liens.  Under no circumstances shall Purchaser be obligated to pay Seller/Servicer any amounts pursuant to the foregoing..

Each of the above events shall be a “Post Closing Payment Event” and the amounts determined above may be netted together to result in either a net amount due to the Seller/Servicer or a net amount due to the Purchaser.

Any party with knowledge of any facts relating to any Post Closing Payment Event shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the other parties written notice and supporting documentation (to the extent available to such party) in a monthly request.  The Purchaser or the Seller/Servicer, as the case may be, shall, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such monthly request, reimburse the other party, in immediately available funds, for the amount of said adjustment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that this Section 2.04(d) shall be implemented fairly and equitably so as to avoid the double payment or failure to pay any amount which would result in the unjust enrichment of any party pursuant to the terms hereof.  The payments to be made by the Seller/Servicer or the Purchaser under this Section 2.04(d) shall be referred to as the “Post Closing Payments.”

Section 6.03                                Obligations of Purchaser.  Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.05 and under this Section, the Purchaser shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller/Servicer and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates (each, a “Seller/Servicer Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses arising out of:

(a)  the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser contained in Section 3.01 of this Agreement;

(b)  any claim or cause of action brought by a Person to the extent arising out of the servicing of any Contract following the Closing Date;

(c)  any Assumed Liabilities; or

(d)  the breach of any covenant or agreement (other than the covenant of the Purchaser set forth in Section 4.06 hereof) by the Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

Section 6.04                                Notice and Opportunity to Defend.  If there occurs an event which the Purchaser Indemnified Party or the Seller/Servicer Indemnified Party, as the case may be (for purposes of this Article VII, an “Indemnified Party”), asserts is an indemnifiable event pursuant to Sections 7.02 or 7.03, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party obligated to provide indemnification (an “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, with such written notice to (i) state the amount of the Loss, or a good faith estimate thereof, and the method of computation thereof, and (ii) contain a reference to the specific section or sections of this Agreement in respect of which such right to indemnification is asserted.  The obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VII with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party (which shall not include any claim made by the Seller/Servicer or the Purchaser, as the case may be) which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article VII (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of such Third Party Claim, and in any case no later than 15 days of receiving notice of such Third Party Claim.  Such notice shall not be a condition precedent to any liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to provide prompt notice as provided herein will relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder to the extent of any incremental Losses directly related to the failure to timely provide such notice.  If the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party of a Third

Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party) to assume the defense thereof if it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that such action or proceeding is covered by the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article VII and, upon any such assumption, shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith; provided, however, that, if after reasonable investigation the Indemnifying Party has a good faith belief that it is not required to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party may withdraw such acknowledgment of liability if such withdrawal is done with sufficient notice such as not to unduly prejudice the Indemnified Party; provided further, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnified Party, in its reasonable discretion, for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.  The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense against any Third Party Claim and shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its counsel all records and other materials reasonably required for use in contesting such Third Party Claim.  The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of such Third Party Claim.  No Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party (A) if such judgment or settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or (B) if such judgment or settlement would result in the finding or admission of any violation of Law.

Section 6.05                                Exclusive Remedy.  The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the indemnification provisions of this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the  Purchaser and the Seller/Servicer for any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement and (ii) no breach of any representation or warranty arising out of this Agreement shall give rise to any further indemnification rights or claims of any nature whatsoever in respect thereof (whether by contract, common law, statute, law, regulation or otherwise), all of which the parties hereby waive; provided, however, that nothing herein is intended to waive any claims for fraud.

ARTICLE VII
