ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

The information contained in Item 2.03 of this report is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

On June 20, 2012, the registrant ("CPS") and its wholly owned subsidiary CPS Receivables Five LLC ("Subsidiary") entered into a series of agreements under which Subsidiary purchased from CPS, and sold to CPS Auto Receivables Trust 2012-B (the "Trust"), approximately $92.1 million of subprime automotive receivables (the "Initial Receivables"). Subsidiary also committed to purchase and to sell to the Trust, and CPS committed to sell to Subsidiary, an additional $49.4 million of similar automotive receivables (the "Subsequent Receivables").

CPS disclaims any implication that the agreements relating to such transactions are other than agreements entered into in the ordinary course of CPS's business.

ITEM 2.03. CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT.

CPS, Subsidiary, the Trust and others on June 20, 2012 entered into a series of agreements that, among other things, created long-term obligations that are material to CPS, Subsidiary and the Trust. Under these agreements (i) CPS sold the Initial Receivables to Subsidiary, and committed to sell the Subsequent Receivables to Subsidiary not later than July 31, 2012, (ii) Subsidiary sold the Initial Receivables to the Trust, and committed to sell the Subsequent Receivables to the Trust, (iii) the Trust pledged the Initial Receivables, and committed to pledge the Subsequent Receivables, to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo"), as indenture trustee for benefit of the holders of the Notes (as defined below), (iv) the Trust issued and sold $141.5 million of asset-backed Notes, in four classes (such Notes collectively, the "Notes"), (v) a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes was pledged to Wells Fargo as trustee for benefit of the holders of the Notes, to be used to fund the purchase price of the Subsequent Receivables, and (vi) a cash deposit (the "Reserve Account") in the amount of 1.00% of the aggregate balance of the Initial Receivables was pledged for the benefit of the holders of the Notes.

Security for the repayment of the Notes consists of the Initial Receivables and, when and if sold, the Subsequent Receivables (together, the “Receivables"), and the rights to payments relating to such receivables. The Receivables were purchased by CPS from automobile dealers, and CPS will act as the servicer of the Receivables. Credit enhancement for the Notes consists of over-collateralization and the Reserve Account. Wells Fargo will act as collateral agent and trustee on behalf of the secured parties, and is the backup servicer.

The Notes are obligations only of the Trust, and not of Subsidiary nor of CPS. Nevertheless, the Notes are properly treated as long-term debt obligations of CPS. The sale and issuance of the Notes, treated as secured financings for accounting and tax purposes, are treated as sales for all other purposes, including legal and bankruptcy purposes. None of the assets of the Trust or Subsidiary are available to pay other creditors of CPS or its affiliates.

Upon completion of the anticipated July 2012 sale of the Subsequent Receivables to the Trust, the Trust will hold a fixed pool of amortizing assets. The Trust is obligated to pay principal and interest on the Notes on a monthly basis. Interest is payable at fixed rates on the outstanding principal balance of each of the four classes of the Notes, and principal is payable by reference to the aggregate principal balance of the Receivables (adjusted for chargeoffs and prepayments, among other things) and agreed required over-collateralization. The following table sets forth the interest rates and initial principal amounts of the four classes of Notes:

Note Class	Interest Rate	Amount
Class A	2.52%	$120,275,000
Class B	4.27%	$8,490,000
Class C	5.90%	$7,075,000
Class D	7.86%	$5,600,000

The 2012-B transaction has initial credit enhancement consisting of a cash deposit equal to 1.00% of the original receivable pool balance. The final enhancement level requires accelerated payment of principal on the Class A and then on the Class B Notes to reach overcollateralization of 11.00% of the then-outstanding receivable pool balance.

If an event of default were to occur under the agreements, the Trustee would have the right to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, in which event the cash proceeds of the Receivables that otherwise would be released to Subsidiary would instead be directed entirely toward repayment of the Notes. Events of default include such events as failure to make required payments on the Notes, breaches of warranties, representations or covenants under any of the agreements or specified bankruptcy-related events. In addition, if the Receivables (pledged as security for the Notes) were to experience net loss ratios that are higher than specified levels, the existence of such a "trigger event" would also require that the cash proceeds of the Receivables that otherwise would be released to Subsidiary would instead be directed to payment of principal on the Notes, until specified increased levels of overcollateralization were achieved.

At such time as the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Receivables is less than 10% of the intended initial aggregate balance of $141.5 million, CPS will have the option to purchase the Trust estate at fair market value, provided that such purchase price is sufficient to cause the Notes to be redeemed and paid in full, and to cause other obligations of the Trust to be met.

Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2.

(c)If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on any Class of Notes entitled thereto, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable Interest Rate in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the Payment Date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and Payment Date, and, at least 15 days before any such special record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder of each affected Class and the Trustee a notice that states the special record date, the Payment Date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

(d)All distributions in respect of Notes represented by a Temporary Regulation S Global Note will be made only with respect to that portion of the Temporary Regulation S Global Note in respect of which Euroclear or Clearstream shall have delivered to the Trustee a certificate or certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1.  The delivery to the Trustee by Euroclear or Clearstream of the certificate or certificates referred to above may be relied upon by the Issuer and the Trustee as conclusive evidence that the certificate or certificates referred to therein has or have been delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and the Temporary Regulation S Global Note.

No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Trustee.

Such Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner of such Notes will receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.12.

(iii)to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall control;

(iv)the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.12, the Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants;

(v)whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or any Class thereof, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes of such Class and has delivered such instructions to the Trustee; and

(vi)Note Owners may receive copies of any reports sent to Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, upon written request, together with a certification that they are Note Owners and payment of reproduction and postage expenses associated with the distribution of such reports, from the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 2.11Notices to Clearing Agency.  Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book-Entry Notes to the Clearing Agency and shall have no obligation to deliver such notices or communications to the Note Owners.

SECTION 2.12Definitive Notes.

(a)Notes issued to Institutional Accredited Investor pursuant to Regulation D will be issued only as Definitive Notes.  If a holder of a Note in the form of a Rule 144A Global Note or, with respect to any Class other than the Class D Notes, a Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note for an equivalent interest in a Definitive Note, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Clearing Agency, and any requirements of the Trustee, exchange or cause the exchange or transfer of such 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note for an equivalent interest in a Definitive Note; provided that, the holder wishing to make such exchange or the transferee taking delivery of a Definitive Note is an Institutional Accredited Investor and has executed and delivered to the Note Registrar a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

(b) If (i) the Servicer advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Notes, and the Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Servicer at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Note Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of such Book-Entry Notes advise the Trustee through the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of such Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all such Note Owners and the Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Trustee and the Note Registrar shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

(c)Interests in a Temporary Regulation S Note may only be exchanged for Definitive Notes upon the receipt by the Trustee from Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, has received a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 from the holder of a beneficial interest in such Note.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Definitive Notes shall not be issued in exchange for Temporary Regulation S Notes until on or after the Exchange Date.

(iii)Such Person further understands that a Rule 144A Global Note and a Regulation S Global Note for each class of Notes (other than with respect to the Class D Notes for which there is no Regulation S Global Note) has been registered in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, or, in the case of Definitive Notes, such Definitive Notes have been registered in the name of such Person or its nominee, and each Note bears a legend to as to the transfer restrictions therefor as reflected on the face of such Note, forms of which are attached hereto as Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-4.

SECTION 3.20Further Instruments and Acts.  Upon request of the Trustee or the Controlling Party, the Issuer will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

SECTION 3.21Amendments of Sale and Servicing Agreement and Trust Agreement.  The Issuer shall not agree to any amendment to Section 13.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 11.1 of the Trust Agreement to eliminate the requirements thereunder that the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes consent to amendments thereto as provided therein.

SECTION 3.22Income Tax Characterization.  For purposes of federal income tax, State and local income tax, franchise tax and any other income taxes, the Issuer and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note or in the case of a Note Owner, by its acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note, will treat such Note as indebtedness of the Issuer and hereby instructs the Trustee to treat the Notes as indebtedness of the Issuer for federal and State tax reporting purposes.

SECTION 3.23Separate Existence of the Issuer.  During the term of this Indenture, the Issuer shall observe the applicable legal requirements for the recognition of the Issuer as a legal entity separate and apart from its Affiliates, including as follows:

(b)Except as otherwise provided in the Basic Documents, the Issuer shall not commingle its assets and funds with those of its Affiliates;

(d)All transactions and dealings between the Issuer and its Affiliates will be conducted on an arm’s-length basis.

SECTION 3.24Representations and Warranties of the Issuer.

The Issuer hereby makes the following representations and warranties as to the Trust Estate to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders:

(i)Creation of Security Interest.  This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Trust Estate in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, which security interest is prior to all other Liens (except, as to priority, for any tax liens or mechanics’ lien which may arise after the Closing Date or as a result of an Obligor’s failure to pay its obligations, as applicable) and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

(ii)Perfection of Security Interest in Trust Property.  The Issuer has caused, on or prior to the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Trust Estate Granted to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders hereunder.

(iii)No other Security Interests.  Other than the security interest Granted to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders hereunder, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Trust Estate.  The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements filed against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Trust Estate other than any financing statement relating to the security interest Granted to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders hereunder or that has been terminated.  The Issuer is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Issuer.

(iv)Notations on Contracts; Financing Statement Disclosure.  The Servicer has in its possession copies of all the original Contracts that constitute or evidence the Initial Receivables and, from and after each Subsequent Transfer Date, will have in its possession copies of all the original Contracts that constitute or evidence the related Subsequent Receivables.  The Contracts that constitute or evidence the Receivables do not and will not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Issuer and/or the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.  All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Issuer in favor of the Trustee in connection herewith describing the Trust Estate contain a statement to the following effect:  “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee and secured party.”

(v)Title.  Immediately prior to the Grant herein contemplated, the Issuer had good and marketable title to each Receivable and the other property Granted hereunder and was the sole owner thereof, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of others, and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders shall have good and marketable title to each such Receivable and other property and will be the sole owner thereof, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of others, and the transfer has been perfected under the UCC.

The representations and warranties of the Issuer in this Section 3.24 may not be waived, modified or amended in any material respect without the prior written consent of the Trustee and satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Class of Notes then rated, and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(ii)default in the payment of the principal of any Note on the Final Scheduled Payment Date and such default shall continue for a period of five days (solely for purposes of this clause, a payment on the Notes funded from the Series 2012-B Spread Account shall be deemed to be a payment made by the Issuer); or

SECTION 5.2Rights Upon Event of Default.

(a)If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, and at the direction of the Controlling Party shall, declare by written notice to the Issuer that the Notes have become immediately due and payable, and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable; provided, however, the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (iv) of Section 5.1 shall, without any further action by any Person, automatically result in the Notes becoming immediately due and payable as of the occurrence of such Event of Default.

(b)At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article V, the Controlling Party, in their sole discretion, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i)the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(A)all payments of principal of and interest on all Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and

(B)all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

(ii)all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 5.3Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

(a)The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of five days, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable Interest Rate and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel.

(b)Each Noteholder by its acceptance of a Note irrevocably and unconditionally appoints the Controlling Party, to the extent the Controlling Party is granted rights under this Indenture or any other Basic Document to direct the Trustee or consent to or take any action hereunder or under the other Basic Documents, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Noteholder with respect to such consent or action and for so long as such Noteholder is not the Controlling Party, with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any notice, document, certificate, paper, pleading or instrument and to do in the name of the Controlling Party as well as in the name, place and stead of such Noteholder such acts, things and deeds for or on behalf of and in the name of such Noteholder under this Indenture (including specifically under Section 5.4) and under the Basic Documents which such Noteholder could or might do or that may be necessary, desirable or convenient in such Controlling Party’s sole discretion to effect the purposes contemplated hereunder and under the Basic Documents and, without limitation, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, exercise full right, power and authority to take, or defer from taking, any and all acts with respect to the administration, maintenance or disposition of the Trust Estate.

(c)If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion, and at the direction of the Controlling Party shall, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate Proceedings as the Trustee, in its discretion or as directed by the Controlling Party, shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

(d)In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate, proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, subject to the direction of the Controlling Party, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

(i)to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) and of the Noteholders allowed in such proceedings;

(ii)unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

(iii)to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Trustee on their behalf; and

(iv)to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

(e)Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person.

(f)All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, any other Basic Document or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

(g)In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture or any other Basic Document), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such proceedings.

SECTION 5.4Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, in its discretion, or at the direction of the Controlling Party shall, do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.5):

(i)institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes moneys adjudged due;

(ii)institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;

(iii)exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Trustee and Holders of the Notes; and

(iv)sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided that, the Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default unless (A) such Event of Default is of the type described in Section 5.1(a)(i) or (a)(ii) or (B) either (x) the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes consent thereto, or (y) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest.

In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (y) of subsection (iv), the Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

SECTION 5.5Optional Preservation of the Receivables.  If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Trust Estate.  It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest and any other amounts on the Notes and the Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate.  In determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

SECTION 5.6Priorities.

SECTION 5.8Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.9Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Controlling Party or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.10Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Controlling Party or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 5.11Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Controlling Party or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee, the Controlling Party or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Controlling Party or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

SECTION 5.12Control by Noteholders.  The Controlling Party shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Noteholders with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Controlling Party; provided that

(i)such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(ii)any direction to the Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be subject to the express terms of Section 5.4;

(iii)if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied and the Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of each class of Notes to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

(iv)the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;

provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

SECTION 5.13Waiver of Past Defaults.  Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.2, the Controlling Party may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default or Event of Default (i) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 5.14Undertaking for Costs.  All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of each class of Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 5.15Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.  The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Trustee herein and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

ARTICLE VI

The Trustee

SECTION 6.1Duties of Trustee.

(a)If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and the Basic Documents and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(i)the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii)in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture.

(c)The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(a)Subject to Section 6.1 and other provisions of this Section 6.2, the Trustee shall be protected and shall incur no liability to the Issuer or any Issuer Secured Party in relying upon the accuracy, acting in reliance upon the contents, and assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand, certificate, signature, instrument or other document reasonably believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the appropriate signatory, and, except to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge to the contrary or as required pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.2(g) the Trustee shall not be required to make any independent investigation with respect thereto.

(b)Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate. Subject to Section 6.1(c), the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officer’s Certificate.

(c)The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc., or any other such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.

(g)The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Controlling Party or Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of each Class; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Person making such request, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Person making such request upon demand.

SECTION 6.3Individual Rights of Trustee.  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Note Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 6.11.

SECTION 6.4Trustee’s Disclaimer.  The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, any Basic Documents, the Trust Estate, the Collateral or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 6.5Notice of Defaults.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is either known by, or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within 30 days after such knowledge or notice occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note, if any), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

SECTION 6.6Reports by Trustee to Holders.  The Trustee shall on behalf of the Issuer deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be reasonably required to enable such Holder to prepare its Federal and State income tax returns.

SECTION 6.7Compensation and Indemnity.

(a)Pursuant to Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 5.6 hereof, the Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services, as separately agreed. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee, pursuant to Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 5.6 hereof, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall or shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee without willful misfeasance, negligence or bad faith on the Trustee’s part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection therewith and including any loss, liability or expense directly or indirectly incurred (regardless of negligence on the part of the Trustee or the Issuer) by the Trustee as a result of any penalty or other cost imposed by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority (except any penalties arising out of fees paid to the Trustee or as a result of any action taken contrary to the Indenture) related to the tax status of the Issuer or the Notes. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder or the Servicer of its obligations under Article XII of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall or shall cause the Servicer to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(b)The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.1(a)(iv) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Indenture or the Basic Documents, the recourse of the Trustee hereunder and under the Basic Documents shall be to the Trust Estate only and specifically shall not be recourse to the assets of the Seller, the Depositor, any Noteholder or any Residual Certificateholder. In addition, the Trustee agrees that its recourse to the Trust Estate shall be limited to the right to receive the distributions referred to in Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 5.6 hereof.

SECTION 6.8Replacement of Trustee.  The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer.  The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

(i)the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

(ii)an Insolvency Event with respect to the Trustee occurs; or

(iii)the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and the Issuer, whereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee under this Indenture, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to each Noteholder. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Controlling Party may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s and the Servicer’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 6.9Successor Trustee by Merger.

(a)If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.  The Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies with written notice of any such transaction.

(b)In case at the time such successor or successors to the Trustee by merger, conversion or consolidation shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

SECTION 6.10Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

(a)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8.

(b)Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i)all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(ii)no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, including acts or omissions of predecessor or successor trustees; and

(iii)the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c)Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

(d)Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, dissolve, become insolvent, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

The Trustee shall act upon and in compliance with the written instructions of the Controlling Party delivered pursuant to this Indenture promptly following receipt of such written instructions; provided that the Trustee shall not act in accordance with any instructions (i) which are not authorized by, or in violation of the provisions of, this Indenture, (ii) which are in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or (iii) for which the Trustee has not received reasonable indemnity. Receipt of such instructions shall not be a condition to the exercise by the Trustee of its express duties hereunder, except where this Indenture provides that the Trustee is permitted to act only following and in accordance with such instructions.

SECTION 6.14Performance of Duties.  The Trustee shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Indenture and the other Basic Documents to which the Trustee is a party or as directed by the Controlling Party in accordance with this Indenture.  The Trustee shall not be required to take any discretionary actions hereunder except at the written direction and with the indemnification of the Controlling Party and as provided in Section 5.12.  The Trustee shall, and hereby agrees that it will, perform all of the duties and obligations required of it under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

Such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder.  In the event that any instrument in writing from the Issuer is reasonably required by a successor Trustee to more fully and certainly vest in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations vested or intended to be vested hereunder in the Trustee, any and all such written instruments shall at the request of the temporary or permanent successor Trustee, be forthwith executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Trustee or the Issuer, as the case may be.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 9.3Execution of Supplemental Indentures.  In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

SECTION 9.4Effect of Supplemental Indenture.  Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

SECTION 9.5Reserved.

SECTION 9.6Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.  Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Issuer shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Issuer as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE X

Redemption of Notes

SECTION 10.1Redemption.

(a)The Notes shall be redeemed in whole, but not in part, on any Payment Date upon which the Servicer exercises its option to purchase the Trust Estate (other than the Trust Accounts) pursuant to Section 11.1(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, for a purchase price at least equal to the Redemption Price; provided, however, that no such redemption may be effected unless the Issuer has available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price on such Payment Date. The Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish the Rating Agencies notice of such redemption.  If the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 10.1, the Servicer shall furnish notice of such election to the Issuer and Trustee not later than 35 days prior to the Redemption Date and deposit the proceeds from the sale of the Receivables into the Collection Account.  If the proceeds of such sale are not so deposited into Collection Account with the Trustee at least one Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, such redemption shall be deemed to be automatically rescinded and the Noteholders shall receive the payments of interest and principal that would be due to the Noteholders on such Payment Date as if such option to redeem the Notes had never been exercised.  For the avoidance of any doubt, no Event of Default shall occur solely as a result of such rescission.

(b)If, on the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Pre-Funded Amount is greater than zero after giving effect to the purchase of all Subsequent Receivables during the Funding Period, including any such purchase on the last day of the Funding Period, the Notes will be redeemed in part pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement in an amount equal to the Note Prepayment Amount.

SECTION 10.2Form of Redemption Notice.

(a)Notice of redemption under Section 10.1 shall be given by the Trustee by facsimile or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, transmitted or mailed prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes, as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding the applicable Redemption Date, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Note Register.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(i)the Redemption Date;

(ii)the Redemption Price;

(iii)that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Redemption Date is not applicable and that payments shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2); and

(iv)that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

(b)Prior notice of redemption under Section 10.1(b) is not required to be given to Noteholders.

SECTION 10.3Notes Payable on Redemption Date.  The Notes to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 10.2 (in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 10.1), on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

ARTICLE XI

Miscellaneous

SECTION 11.1Compliance Certificates and Opinions,

(a)Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with, and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with except that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:

(i)a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

(ii)a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

(iii)a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such signatory has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

(iv)a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory such condition or covenant has been complied with.

(b)(i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property or securities with the Trustee that is to be made the basis for the release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 11.1(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (on the date of such deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited.

(ii)           Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (i) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) above and this clause (ii) is 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than 1% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

(iii)           Other than with respect to the release of any Purchased Receivables, Defaulted Texas Receivables or Liquidated Receivables, whenever any property or securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release) of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of such person the proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.

(iv)           Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (iii) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other property other than Purchased Receivables, Defaulted Texas Receivables and Liquidated Receivables, or securities released from the lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the then current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required by clause (iii) above and this clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than 1% of the then Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

(v)Notwithstanding Section 2.9 or any provision of this Section, the Issuer may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Receivables as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Trust Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents.

SECTION 11.2Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

(a)In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

(b)Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Seller or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Seller or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

(c)Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

(d)Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

SECTION 11.3Acts of Noteholders.

(a)Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b)The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any customary manner of the Trustee.

(c)The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.

(d)Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

(e)The Seller and any Affiliate thereof may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of the Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Seller or an Affiliate thereof, except as expressly provided herein or in any Basic Document.  Notes so owned by the Seller or such Affiliate shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of the Basic Documents, without preference, priority or distinction as among all of the Notes; provided, however, that any Notes owned by the Seller or any Affiliate thereof, during the time such Notes are so owned by them, shall be without voting or consent rights for any purpose set forth in the Basic Documents and such Notes.  The Seller shall notify the Trustee promptly after it or any of its Affiliates become the owner of a Note.

SECTION 11.4Notices, etc., to Trustee, Issuer, and Rating Agencies.

(a)Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

(i)the Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; or

(ii)the Issuer by the Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Issuer addressed to: CPS Auto Receivables Trust 2012-B, in care of Wilmington Trust, National Association, Rodney Square North, 1100 N. Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890-0001, or at such other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Issuer. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Trustee.

(b)Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered, electronically delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested to (i) Standard & Poor’s via electronic delivery to Servicer_reports@sandp.com; for any information not available in electronic format, send hard copies to: Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, 55 Water Street, 41st Floor, New York, New York 10041-0003, Attention: ABS Surveillance Group; and (ii) Moody’s via electronic delivery to Servicerreports@moodys.com; for any information not available in electronic format, send hard copies to:  Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., ABS Monitoring Department,  7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, New York, NY  10007; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.

SECTION 11.5Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

(a)Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise expressly provided herein) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

(b)Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

(c)In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

(d)Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default.

SECTION 11.6Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Trustee or any Note Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices, provided that such methods are reasonable and consented to by the Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Issuer will furnish to the Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

SECTION 11.7Reserved.

SECTION 11.8Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.  The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 11.9Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

SECTION 11.10Severability.  In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 11.11Benefits of Indenture.  Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, and the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other person with an ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

SECTION 11.12Legal Holidays.  In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

SECTION 11.13Governing Law.  THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THIS INDENTURE AND ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

SECTION 11.14Counterparts.  This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 11.15Recording of Indenture.  If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Trustee under this Indenture.

SECTION 11.16Trust Obligation.  No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

SECTION 11.17No Petition.  The Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder and Note Owner, by accepting a Note or a beneficial interest therein, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute against the Seller, the Depositor, or the Issuer, or join in, or collude or cooperate with, any institution against the Seller, the Depositor, or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States Federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the Basic Documents.

SECTION 11.18Inspection.  The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports, and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees, and independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 11.19Limitation on Recourse to Seller.  The obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture are solely the obligations of the Issuer and do not represent any obligation or interest in any assets of the Depositor.  The Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder and Note Owner, by accepting a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, acknowledge and agree that they have no right, title or interest in or to any Other Assets of the Depositor.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if such Trustee, Noteholder or Note Owner either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, the Other Assets, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from the Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq., as amended (“Bankruptcy Code”)), then such Indenture Trustee, Noteholder or Note Owner further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from the Other Assets is expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of the other obligations and liabilities, which, under the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Depositor), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities.  This subordination agreement is deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Trustee, each Noteholder and each Note Owner further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 11.19 and this Section 11.19 may be enforced by an action for specific performance.  This Section 11.19 is for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely on this Section 11.19 and will survive the termination of this Indenture.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer and the Trustee have caused this Indenture to be duly executed by their respective officers, hereunto duly authorized, all as of the day and year first above written.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

This note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class A 2.52% Asset-Backed Notes (herein called the “Class A Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of June 1, 2012 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, Class C Notes, and the Class D Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

Principal of the Class A Notes will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Payment Date” means the fifteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing July 16, 2012.

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class A Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Payment Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. In addition, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the Mandatory Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1(b) of the Indenture.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Class A Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Notes have been declared immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture.  All principal payments on the Class A Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A Noteholders entitled thereto.

Payments of interest on this Class A Note due and payable on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Class A Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Class A Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) in the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing to the Trustee by such Person at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Class A Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class A Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Class A Note and of any Class A Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class A Note on a Payment Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed prior to such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Class A Note at the Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class A Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed (a) pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the option of the Servicer, on any Payment Date on or after the date on which the Pool Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the Original Collateral Balance; and (b) pursuant to Section 10.1(b) of the Indenture, in part, on a pro rata basis, on the Mandatory Redemption Date if any Pre-Funded Amount remains on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account after giving effect to the purchase of all Subsequent Receivables during the Funding Period.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Class A Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Class A Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Class A Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class A Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or any other Basic Document, (i) the transfer of a Class A Note, including the right to receive principal and any stated interest thereon, may be effected only by surrender of the old Class A Note (or satisfactory evidence of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note) to the Note Registrar, and the issuance by the Issuer (through the Note Registrar) of a new Class A Note to the new Holder, and (ii) each Class A  Note must be registered in the name of the Holder thereof as to both principal and any stated interest with the Note Registrar.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class A Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class A Note agrees to treat the Class A Notes as indebtedness of the Issuer for Federal and State income tax reporting purposes and further covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing a majority (by Outstanding Amount) of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Class A Note and of any Class A Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class A Note.  The Indenture also permits the Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

This note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class C 5.90% Asset-Backed Notes (herein called the “Class C Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of June 1, 2012 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture, however, the Class C Notes are subordinate in priority of payment to the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes on each Payment Date and upon a liquidation of the Trust Estate as described in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

Principal of the Class C Notes will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Payment Date” means the fifteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing July 16, 2012.

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Payment Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture.  In addition, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the Mandatory Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1(b) of the Indenture.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Class C Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Notes have been declared immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class C Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class C Noteholders entitled thereto.

Payments of interest on this Class C Note due and payable on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Class C Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Class C Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) in the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing to the Trustee by such Person at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date.  Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class C Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Class C Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class C Note on a Payment Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed prior to such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Class C Note at the Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class C Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed (a) pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the option of the Servicer, on any Payment Date on or after the date on which the Pool Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the Original Collateral Balance; and (b) pursuant to Section 10.1(b) of the Indenture, in part, on a pro rata basis, on the Mandatory Redemption Date if any Pre-Funded Amount remains on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account after giving effect to the purchase of all Subsequent Receivables during the Funding Period.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Class C Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Class C Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by a certificate of the transferee in the form of Exhibit B to the Indenture and such other documents as the Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Class C Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class C Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or any other Basic Document, (i) the transfer of a Class C Note, including the right to receive principal and any stated interest thereon, may be effected only by surrender of the old Class C Note (or satisfactory evidence of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note) to the Note Registrar, and the issuance by the Issuer (through the Note Registrar) of a new Class C Note to the new Holder, and (ii) each Class C Note must be registered in the name of the Holder thereof as to both principal and any stated interest with the Note Registrar.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class C Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class C Note, agrees to treat the Class C Notes as indebtedness of the Issuer for federal and State income tax reporting purposes and further covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class C Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class C Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Issuer or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings, under any United States Federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic Documents.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class C Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class C Note, shall be deemed to have represented and warranted for the benefit of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Noteholders, that it is not acquiring any such Class C Note with the assets of any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA which is subject to Title I of ERISA or any “plan” as defined in Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Class C Note, the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Class C Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Class C Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations and exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer without the consent of Noteholders. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing a majority (by Outstanding Amount) of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Class C Note and of any Class C Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class C Note.  The Indenture also permits the Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

The term “Issuer” as used in this Class C Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

The Class C Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

This Class C Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Class C Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Class C Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, neither the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Class C Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee for the sole purposes of binding the interests of the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Holder of this Class C Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that except as expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class C Note.

If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class D Note on a Payment Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed prior to such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Class D Note at the Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class D Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed (a) pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the option of the Servicer, on any Payment Date on or after the date on which the Pool Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the Original Collateral Balance; and (b) pursuant to Section 10.1(b) of the Indenture, in part, on a pro rata basis, on the Mandatory Redemption Date if any Pre-Funded Amount remains on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account after giving effect to the purchase of all Subsequent Receivables during the Funding Period.

No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class D Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or any other Basic Document, (i) the transfer of a Class D Note, including the right to receive principal and any stated interest thereon, may be effected only by surrender of the old Class D Note (or satisfactory evidence of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note) to the Note Registrar, and the issuance by the Issuer (through the Note Registrar) of a new Class D Note to the new Holder, and (ii) each Class D Note must be registered in the name of the Holder thereof as to both principal and any stated interest with the Note Registrar.

Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Class D Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Class D Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Issuer or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings, under any United States Federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic Documents.

Each Noteholder by its acquisition of a Class D Note (or a beneficial interest therein) shall be deemed to have represented and warranted for the benefit of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Noteholders, that it is not acquiring any such Class D Note with the assets of any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA which is subject to Title I of ERISA or any “plan” as defined in Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Class D Note, the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Class D Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Class D Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations and exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer without the consent of Noteholders. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing a majority (by Outstanding Amount) of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Class D Note and of any Class D Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class D Note.  The Indenture also permits the Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

The term “Issuer” as used in this Class D Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

The Class D Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

This Class D Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Class D Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Class D Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, neither the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Class D Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee for the sole purposes of binding the interests of the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Holder of this Class D Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that except as expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class D Note.

SECTION 3.2Repurchase upon Breach.

(a)The Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or (upon actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer thereof) the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.1 (without regard to any limitations therein as to the Seller’s knowledge).  Unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following the discovery thereof by CPS or receipt by CPS of notice of such breach, CPS (pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement) shall repurchase any Receivable if the value of such Receivable is materially and adversely affected by the breach as of the last day of such second Collection Period (or, at CPS’s option, the last day of the first Collection Period following the discovery) and, in the event that the breach relates to a characteristic of the Receivables in the aggregate, and if the interests of the Trust or the Securityholders are materially and adversely affected by such breach, unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of such second Collection Period, CPS shall purchase the aggregate Principal Balance of affected Receivables, such that following such purchase such representation shall be true and correct with respect to the remainder of the Receivables in the aggregate.  In consideration of the purchase of any Receivable, CPS shall remit the Purchase Amount, in the manner specified in Section 5.6.  For purposes of this Section, the Purchase Amount of a Receivable that is not consistent with the warranty pursuant to Section 3.1(i)(A)(5) or (A)(6) shall include such additional amount as shall be necessary to provide the full amount of interest as contemplated therein.  The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Trustee and the Securityholders with respect to a breach of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be to enforce CPS’s obligation to purchase such Receivables pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that CPS shall indemnify the Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Trust and the Securityholders against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, that 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 breach.  Upon receipt of the Purchase Amount and written instructions from the Servicer, the Trustee shall release to CPS or its designee the related Receivables File and shall execute and deliver all reasonable instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as are prepared by the Seller and delivered to the Trustee and necessary to vest in CPS or such designee title to the Receivable including a Trustee’s Certificate in the form of Exhibit F-1.

(b)If it is determined that consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other transaction documents referenced in this Agreement, the servicing and operation of the Trust pursuant to this Agreement and such other documents, or the ownership of a Note or a Residual Pass-through Certificate by a Holder constitutes a violation of the prohibited transaction rules of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any successor statutes of similar impact, together with the regulations thereunder, to which no statutory exception or administrative exemption applies, such violation shall not be treated as a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.1 if not otherwise such a breach.

(c)Pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of this Agreement, the Seller has conveyed to the Trust all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in its rights and benefits, but none of its obligations or burdens, under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and each Subsequent Receivables Purchase Agreement, including the Seller’s rights under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and each Subsequent Receivables Purchase Agreement and the delivery requirements, representations and warranties and the cure, repurchase and indemnity obligations of CPS under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and each Subsequent Receivables Purchase Agreement.  The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Trust and the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders that such assignment is valid, enforceable and effective to permit the Trust to enforce such obligations of CPS under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and each Subsequent Receivables Purchase Agreement.

(i)The fully executed original of the Receivable;

(ii)The original certificate of title in the name of CPS or such documents that CPS shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, evidencing the security interest of CPS in the Financed Vehicle or, if not yet received, a copy of the application therefor showing CPS as secured party, or a dealer guarantee of title.

(b)Upon payment in full of any Receivable, the Servicer will notify the Trustee pursuant to a certificate of an officer of the Servicer (which certificate shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payments which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.2 have been so deposited) and shall request delivery of the Receivable and Receivable File to the Servicer.

SECTION 3.4Acceptance of Receivable Files by Trustee.  The Trustee acknowledges receipt of files that the Seller has represented are the Receivable Files for the Initial Receivables.  The Trustee has reviewed such Receivable Files and has determined that it has received a file for each Initial Receivable identified in Schedule A to this Agreement.  Not less than four (4) Business Days prior to each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Seller will cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Receivable Files for the Subsequent Receivables to be transferred to the Trust on such Subsequent Transfer Date.  The Trustee declares that it holds and will continue to hold such files and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets comprising the Owner Trust Estate as Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Securityholders.  The Trustee agrees to review each file delivered to it prior to the Closing Date (in the case of the Initial Receivables) or the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date (in the case of the Subsequent Receivables) to determine whether such Receivable Files contain the documents referred to in  Sections 3.3(a)(i) and (ii).  If the Trustee has found or finds that a file for a Receivable has not been received, or that a file is unrelated to the Receivables identified in Schedule A to this Agreement or that any of the documents referred to in Section 3.3(a)(i) or (ii) are not contained in a Receivable File, the Trustee shall inform CPS, the Seller and the Owner Trustee promptly, in writing, of the failure to receive a file with respect to such Receivable (or of the failure of any of the aforementioned documents to be included in the Receivable File) or shall return to CPS as the Seller’s designee any file unrelated to a Receivable identified in Schedule A to this Agreement (in the case of the Initial Receivables) or Schedule A to the related Subsequent Transfer Agreement (in the case of the Subsequent Receivables), it being understood that the Trustee’s obligation to review the contents of any Receivable File shall be limited as set forth in the preceding sentence.  Unless such defect with respect to such Receivable File shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following discovery thereof by the Trustee, the Trustee shall cause CPS to repurchase any such Receivable as of and by no later than such last day pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.  In consideration of the purchase of the Receivable, CPS shall remit the Purchase Amount, in the manner specified in Section 5.6.  The sole remedy of the Trustee, the Trust and the Securityholders with respect to a breach pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be to require CPS to purchase the applicable Receivables pursuant to this Section 3.4; provided, however, that CPS shall indemnify the Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer,  the Trust and the Securityholders 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 breach.  Upon receipt of the Purchase Amount and written instructions from the Servicer, the Trustee shall release to CPS or its designee the related Receivable File and shall execute and deliver all reasonable instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as are prepared by CPS and delivered to the Trustee and are necessary to vest in CPS or such designee title to the Receivable including a Trustee’s Certificate in the form of Exhibit F-1.  The Trustee shall make a list of Receivables for which an application for a certificate of title but not an original certificate of title or, with respect to Receivables originated in the Non-Certificated Title States, another evidence of title issued by the applicable Department of Motor Vehicles or similar authority in such States, is included in the Receivable File as of the date of its review of the Receivable Files and deliver a copy of such list to the Servicer and the Owner Trustee.  On the date which is 180 days following the Closing Date  (in the case of the Initial Receivables) or the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date (in the case of the Subsequent Receivables) or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, the Trustee shall inform CPS and the other parties to this Agreement of any Receivable for which the related Receivable File on such date does not include an original certificate of title or, with respect to Financed Vehicles in the Non-Certificated Title States, for which the related Receivable File on such date does not include evidence of title issued by the applicable Department of Motor Vehicles or similar authority, and CPS shall repurchase any such Receivable as of and by no later than the last day of the current Collection Period.

SECTION 3.5Access to Receivable Files.  The Trustee shall permit the Servicer access to the Receivable Files at all reasonable times during the Trustee’s normal business hours.  The Trustee shall, within two Business Days of the request of the Servicer or the Owner Trustee, execute such documents and instruments as are prepared by the Servicer or the Owner Trustee and delivered to the Trustee, as the Servicer, the Owner Trustee deems necessary to permit the Servicer, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, to enforce the Receivable on behalf of the Trust and any related insurance policies covering the Obligor, the Receivable or Financed Vehicle so long as such execution in the Trustee’s sole discretion does not conflict with this Agreement and will not cause it undue risk or liability.  The Trustee shall not be obligated to release any document from any Receivable File unless it receives a release request signed by a Servicing Officer in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “Release Request”).  Such Release Request shall obligate the Servicer to return such document(s) to the Trustee when the need therefor no longer exists unless the Receivable shall be liquidated, in which case, the Servicer shall certify in the Release Request that all amounts required to be deposited in the Collection Account with respect to such Receivable have been so deposited.

SECTION 3.6Trustee to Deliver Monthly Receivable File Report.  Within three Business Days after the end of a month in which the Trustee releases any Receivable Files to the Servicer or after any subsequent month in which such Receivable Files remain outstanding pursuant to Section 3.5, the Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer a monthly report that identifies all Receivable Files released to the Servicer and not yet returned to the Trustee.

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

SECTION 4.1Duties of the Servicer.  The Servicer, as agent for the Trust and the Securityholders (to the extent provided herein) shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention customary and usual for institutions which service motor vehicle retail installment contracts or promissory notes and security agreements, in each case, similar to the Receivables and, to the extent more exacting, that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable automotive receivables that it services for itself or others.  The Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment statements to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Trustee and the Owner Trustee with respect to distributions.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the servicing standards set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Trust to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Trust or the Securityholders, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such Receivables or to the Financed Vehicles securing such Receivables and/or the certificates of title or, with respect to Financed Vehicles in the Non-Certificated Title States, other evidence of ownership with respect to such Financed Vehicles issued by the applicable Department of Motor Vehicles or similar authority.  If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Trust shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection, such Receivable to the Servicer.  If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Trust shall, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Securityholders. The Servicer shall prepare and furnish, and the Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall execute, any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

SECTION 4.2Collection of Receivable Payments; Modifications of Receivables; Lockbox Agreement.

(a)Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable automotive receivables that it services for itself or others; provided, however, that promptly after the Closing Date the Servicer shall notify each Obligor to make all payments with respect to the Receivables to the Post Office Box.  The Servicer will provide each Obligor with a monthly statement in order to notify such Obligors to make payments directly to the Post Office Box.  The Servicer shall allocate collections between principal and interest in accordance with the customary servicing procedures it follows with respect to all comparable automotive receivables that it services for itself or others and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Except as provided below, the Servicer may grant extensions on Receivables; provided, however, that the Servicer may not grant more than two extensions per calendar year with respect to a Receivable or grant an extension with respect to a Receivable for more than one calendar month or grant more than six extensions in the aggregate with respect to a Receivable (the “Aggregate Extension Limitation”); provided, further, however, that if the Servicer extends the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the last day of the penultimate Collection Period preceding the Final Scheduled Payment Date, it shall promptly purchase the Receivable from the Trust in accordance with the terms of Section 4.7 (and for purposes thereof, the Receivable shall be deemed to be materially and adversely affected by such breach).   In addition, if the Servicer grants extensions with respect to any Receivables in excess of the Aggregate Extension Limitation, the Servicer will promptly purchase such Receivables from the Trust in accordance with the terms of Section 4.7 (and for purposes thereof, such Receivables shall be deemed to be materially and adversely affected by such breach).    The Servicer may in its discretion waive any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Servicer shall not agree to any alteration of the interest rate on any Receivable or of the amount of any Scheduled Receivable Payment on Receivables, other than to the extent that such alteration is required by applicable law or, with respect to Liquidated Receivables, if the Servicer reasonably and in good faith determines that a settlement of the outstanding Principal Balance can be expected to increase the total amount to be received by the Issuer with respect to such Receivable, then the Servicer may accept less than the full unpaid balance with respect to such Receivable.

(b)The Servicer shall establish the Lockbox Account in the name of the Trust for the benefit of the Trustee for the further benefit of the Securityholders.  Pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, the Trustee has authorized the Servicer to direct dispositions of funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account to the Collection Account (but not to any other account), and no other Person, except the Lockbox Processor and the Trustee, has authority to direct the disposition of funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account.  The Lockbox Agreement shall provide that Lockbox Banks will comply with the instructions originated by the Trustee relating to the disposition of funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account.  The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility with respect to the Lockbox Processor’s directions or activities as set forth in the preceding sentence.  The Lockbox Account shall be established pursuant to and maintained in accordance with the Lockbox Agreement and shall be a demand deposit account established and maintained with the Lockbox Bank; provided, however, that the Trustee shall give the Servicer prior written notice of any change made in the location of the Lockbox Account.  The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Post Office Box at a United States Post Office Branch in the name of the Trust for the benefit of the Securityholders.

(c)Notwithstanding any Lockbox Agreement, or any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Lockbox Agreement, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trust, the Trustee and Securityholders for servicing and administering the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue thereof.

(d)In the event CPS shall for any reason no longer be acting as the Servicer hereunder, the Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the outgoing Servicer under the Lockbox Agreement arising from and after such assumption.  In such event, the successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the outgoing Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the outgoing Servicer as a party to the Lockbox Agreement to the same extent as if such Lockbox Agreement had been assigned to the successor Servicer, except that the outgoing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations on the part of the outgoing Servicer to the Lockbox Bank under such Lockbox Agreement.  The outgoing Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the outgoing Servicer, deliver to the successor Servicer all documents and records relating to the Lockbox Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Lockbox Bank and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient termination of any Lockbox Agreement and transition of Obligor payments to the successor Servicer or to a lockbox established by the successor Servicer for the receipt of payments made in respect of the Receivables.  The outgoing Servicer, at its expense, shall cause the Lockbox Bank to deliver to the successor Servicer or a successor Lockbox Bank, all documents and records relating to the Receivables and all amounts held (or thereafter received) by the Lockbox Bank (together with an accounting of such amounts).  The outgoing Servicer shall deliver prompt written notice to the Rating Agencies of any change or transfer of the Lockbox arrangements.

(e)On each Business Day, pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, the Lockbox Processor will transfer any payments from Obligors received in the Post Office Box to the Lockbox Account.  Within two Business Days of receipt of funds into the Lockbox Account, the Servicer shall cause the Lockbox Bank to transfer funds from the Lockbox Account to the Collection Account.  In addition, the Servicer shall remit all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors received by the Servicer with respect to the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables and Sold Receivables), and all Liquidation Proceeds no later than the Business Day following receipt directly (without deposit into any intervening account) into the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account.  The Servicer shall not commingle its assets and funds with those on deposit in the Lockbox Account.

(a)On behalf of the Trust and the Securityholders, the Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the servicing procedures set forth herein, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer shall have determined eventual payment in full is unlikely.  The Servicer shall commence efforts to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of a Financed Vehicle or sell the related Receivable to an unaffiliated third-party on or prior to the date that an Obligor has failed to make more than 90% of a Scheduled Receivable Payment thereon in excess of $10 for 120 days or more; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect not to commence such efforts within such time period if in its good faith judgment it determines either that it would be impracticable to do so or that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would be increased by forbearance.  The Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of automotive receivables, consistent with the standards of care set forth in Section 4.2, which may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers or Consumer Lenders and selling the Financed Vehicle at public or private sale.  The foregoing shall be subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.

(b)Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer may use its best efforts to locate a third party purchaser that is not affiliated with the Servicer, the Seller or the Issuer to purchase from the Issuer any Receivable that has become more than 120 days delinquent, and shall have the right to direct the Issuer to sell any such Receivable to such third-party purchaser; provided, that no more than 20% of the number of Receivables in the pool as of the Cutoff Date may be sold by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) in the aggregate; provided further, that the Servicer may elect to not direct the Issuer to sell a Receivable that has become more than 120 days delinquent if in its good faith judgment the Servicer determines that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would be increased by forbearance. In selecting Receivables to be sold to a third party purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.3(b), the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to locate purchasers for the most delinquent Receivables first.  In any event, the Servicer shall not use any procedure in selecting Receivables to be sold to third party purchasers that is materially adverse to the interest of the Securityholders. The Issuer shall sell each Sold Receivable for the greatest market price possible; provided, however, that aggregate Sale Amounts received by the Issuer for all Receivables sold to a single third-party purchaser on a single date must be at least equal to the sum of the Minimum Sale Prices for all such Receivables. The Servicer shall remit or cause the third-party purchaser to remit all sale proceeds from the sale of Receivables to the Collection Account without deposit into any intervening account as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Business Day after receipt thereof.

SECTION 4.4Insurance.

(a)The Servicer, in accordance with the servicing procedures and standards set forth herein, shall require that (i) each Obligor shall have obtained insurance covering the Financed Vehicle, as of the date of the execution of the Receivable, insuring against loss and damage due to fire, theft, transportation, collision and other risks generally covered by comprehensive and collision coverage and each Receivable requires the Obligor to maintain such physical loss and damage insurance naming CPS and its successors and assigns as an additional insured, (ii) each Receivable that finances the cost of premiums for credit life and credit accident and health insurance is covered by an insurance policy or certificate naming CPS as policyholder (creditor) and (iii) as to each Receivable that finances the cost of an extended service contract, the respective Financed Vehicle which secures the Receivable is covered by an extended service contract.

(b) To the extent applicable, the Servicer shall not take any action which would result in noncoverage under any of the insurance policies referred to in Section 4.4(a) which, but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any of the foregoing insurance policies.  Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any of the foregoing insurance policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account.

SECTION 4.5Maintenance of Security Interests in Vehicles.

(a)Consistent with the policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall take such steps on behalf of the Trust as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle, including but not limited to obtaining the authorization of the Obligors and the recording, registering, filing, re-recording, re-registering and refiling of all security agreements, financing statements and continuation statements or instruments as are necessary to maintain the security interest granted by the Obligors under the respective Receivables.  The Trustee hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer agrees, to take any and all steps necessary to re-perfect or continue the perfection of such security interest on behalf of the Trust as necessary because of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Trust is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the State in which the Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Trust, the Servicer hereby agrees that CPS’s designation as the secured party on the certificate of title is in its capacity as Servicer as agent of the Trust.

(b)Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Trustee and the Servicer shall take or cause to be taken, such action as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Trustee, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee, be necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security interests in the Financed Vehicles securing the Receivables in the name of the Trust by amending the title documents of such Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable means as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Trustee, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee, be necessary or prudent.  The Servicer hereby agrees to pay all expenses related to such perfection or re-perfection and to take all action necessary therefor.

SECTION 4.6Additional Covenants of Servicer.  Unless required by law or court order, the Servicer shall not release the Financed Vehicle securing each Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except (i) in the event of payment in full by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or payment in full less a deficiency which the Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with its customary servicing practices, (ii) upon a sale of such Receivable permitted by Section 4.3(b), (iii) in connection with repossession of such Financed Vehicle, or (iv) as may be required by an insurer in order to receive proceeds from any Insurance Policy covering such Financed Vehicle. The Servicer shall not impair the rights of the Securityholders in such Receivables, nor shall the Servicer amend a Receivable, except that extensions and waivers may be granted in accordance with Section 4.2.  The Servicer shall not create, incur or suffer to exist any Lien or restriction on transferability of the Receivables nor, except as contemplated by the Basic Documents, sign or file under the UCC of any jurisdiction any financing statement that names CPS or the Servicer as debtor, nor sign any security agreement authorizing any secured party thereunder to file such financing statement, with respect to the Receivables.  The Servicer shall take such actions as are necessary from time to time in order to maintain the perfection and priority of the Issuer’s security interest in the Trust Property.

SECTION 4.7Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Covenant.

(i)to the Holders of the Class A Notes in reduction of the Class A Note Balance, the Class A Noteholders’ Principal Distributable Amount, if any, for such Payment Date;

(ii)to the Holders of the Class B Notes, in reduction of the Class B Note Balance, the Class B Noteholders’ Principal Distributable Amount, if any, for such Payment Date;

(iii)to the Holders of the Class C Notes, in reduction of the Class C Note Balance, the Class C Noteholders’ Principal Distributable Amount, if any, for such Payment Date; and

(iv)to the Holders of the Class D Notes, in reduction of the Class D Note Balance, the Class D Noteholders’ Principal Distributable Amount, if any, for such Payment Date;

provided that on the Payment Date immediately following the end of the Funding Period, amounts deposited into the Principal Distribution Account in respect of the Note Prepayment Amount pursuant to Section 5.10 shall be distributed to the Holders of the Notes, pro rata, on the basis of each Class’ share of the Aggregate Note Balance prior to any distribution pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) above.

(b)On each Payment Date, the Trustee shall provide or make available electronically (or, upon written request, by first class mail or facsimile) to each Noteholder the statement or statements provided to the Trustee by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.11 hereof on such Payment Date; provided, however, the Trustee shall have no obligation to provide such information described in this Section 5.8(b) until it has received the requisite information from the Servicer.

(c)In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s payment (or allocations of income) to a Noteholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Noteholder in accordance with this Section 5.8.  The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Noteholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings).  The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Noteholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Noteholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.  If, after consultations with experienced counsel, the Trustee determines that there is a reasonable likelihood that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a Non-United States Investor), the Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this clause (c).  In the event that a Noteholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Noteholder in making such claim so long as such Noteholder agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

(d)Distributions required to be made to Noteholders on any Payment Date shall be made to each Noteholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Noteholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder shall have provided to the Note Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date and such Holder’s Notes in the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than $1,000,000 or (ii) such Noteholder is the Seller, or an Affiliate thereof, or, if not, by check mailed to such Noteholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Note Register; provided, however, that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Indenture, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), distributions will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution in respect of any Note (whether on the Final Scheduled Payment Date or otherwise) will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note at the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the Note Registrar pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Indenture.

Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note, will be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Sections 5.7 and 5.8 relating to the priority of payments, and will be further deemed to have acknowledged that no property rights in any amount or the proceeds of any such amount shall vest in such Noteholder until such amounts have been distributed to such Noteholder pursuant to such provisions; provided, that the foregoing shall not restrict the right of any Noteholder, upon compliance with the provisions hereof from seeking to compel the performance of the provisions hereof by the parties hereto.

SECTION 5.9[Reserved].

SECTION 5.10Pre-Funding Account.

(a)On the Closing Date, the Trustee will deposit, on behalf of the Seller, the Pre-Funded Amount into the Pre-Funding Account from the proceeds of the sale of the Notes.  On each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account (i) an amount equal to the excess of (a) the Principal Balance of the Subsequent Receivables transferred to the Issuer on such Subsequent Transfer Date over (b) the Subsequent Spread Account Deposit for such Subsequent Transfer Date, and to distribute such amount to or upon the order of the Seller upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement with respect to such transfer; and (ii) an amount equal to the Subsequent Spread Account Deposit on such Subsequent Transfer Date and deposit such amount into the Series 2012-B Spread Account upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement with respect to such transfer.

(b)If the Pre-Funded Amount has not been reduced to zero on the date on which the Funding Period ends, after giving effect to any reductions in the Pre-Funded Amount on such date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account on the Mandatory Redemption Date the Pre-Funded Amount (exclusive of any Pre-Funding Earnings) and deposit an amount equal to the Note Prepayment Amount into the Principal Distribution Account.

(c)All Pre-Funding Earnings will be deposited in the Collection Account on each Payment Date and deemed to be part of the Total Distribution Amount.

SECTION 5.11Statements to Securityholders.

(a)On or prior to each Payment Date, the Servicer shall provide to the Trustee and the Owner Trustee (with a copy to the Rating Agencies) for the Trustee and the Owner Trustee to forward to each Securityholder of record (in the case of the Trustee, pursuant to Section 5.8(b)) the statement or statements provided by the Servicer in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E setting forth at least the following information:

The terminated Servicer shall grant the Trustee and the successor Servicer reasonable access to the terminated Servicer’s premises at the terminated Servicer’s expense.

SECTION 10.3Appointment of Successor.

(a)On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 10.2 or upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.6, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice, and, in the case of resignation, until a successor Servicer has been appointed (the “Assumption Date”).  Subject to prior selection of a successor Servicer in accordance with subsection (b) below, in the event of a termination or resignation of the Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Backup Servicer, shall automatically assume the obligations of the Servicer hereunder on the Assumption Date, and shall be subject to all the rights, responsibilities, restrictions, duties, liabilities and termination provisions relating thereto in this Agreement except as otherwise indicated herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Backup Servicer is the outgoing Servicer or shall be unwilling or legally unable to act as successor Servicer, the Trustee shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an Eligible Servicer as the successor Servicer hereunder.  Pending appointment pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Backup Servicer shall act as successor Servicer unless it is legally unable to do so, in which event the outgoing Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment. The Trustee and such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(b)Unless Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding Note Balance of the Controlling Class have previously confirmed in writing that the Backup Servicer shall become successor Servicer upon the Servicer’s resignation or removal, the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding Note Balance of the Controlling Class may at any time thirty (30) days (i) prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Servicer or (ii) prior to the Assumption Date, appoint a Person that is an Eligible Servicer other than the Backup Servicer to become the successor Servicer in accordance with Section 10.2 on and after the Assumption Date or the resignation of the Servicer.  Prior to such assumption, such successor Servicer shall execute and deliver a written assumption agreement by such Person to serve as Servicer.  If upon the termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 10.2 or the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.6, the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding Note Balance of the Controlling Class appoint a successor Servicer other than the Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall not be relieved of its duties as Backup Servicer hereunder, including its obligation to become successor Servicer; provided that pending the assumption of the servicing duties by a successor Servicer appointed by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding Note Balance of the Controlling Class, the Backup Servicer shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of the successor Servicer hereunder.

(c)Notwithstanding the Backup Servicer’s assumption of, and its agreement to perform and observe, all duties, responsibilities and obligations of CPS as Servicer under this Agreement arising on and after the Assumption Date, the Backup Servicer shall not be deemed to have assumed or to become liable for, or otherwise have any liability, whether provided for by the terms of this Agreement, arising by operation of law or otherwise, for any duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities of CPS or any predecessor Servicer (i) arising under Sections 4.7 and 9.2, regardless of when the liability, duty, responsibility or obligation of CPS or any predecessor Servicer therefor arose, (ii) required to be performed by CPS or any predecessor Servicer prior to the Assumption Date or any claim of any third party based on any alleged action or inaction of CPS or any predecessor Servicer, or (iii) with respect to the payment of any taxes required to be paid by CPS or any predecessor Servicer.  The indemnification obligations of the Backup Servicer, upon becoming a successor Servicer, are expressly limited to those instances of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Backup Servicer in its role as successor Servicer that occur after the Assumption Date.

(d)Any successor Servicer, including the Backup Servicer, shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee and Additional Servicing Compensation as compensation and its reimbursable expenses in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 5.7(a).

(e)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the successor Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting records (including computer records) and work of the predecessor Servicer relating to the Receivables (collectively, the “Predecessor Servicer Work Product”) without any audit or other examination thereof, and the successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the predecessor Servicer.  If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, “Errors”) exists in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Error makes it materially more difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the successor Servicer making or continuing any Error (collectively, “Continuing Errors”), the successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such Continuing Errors; provided, however, that the successor Servicer agrees to use its best efforts to prevent further Continuing Errors.  If the successor Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continuing Errors, it shall use its best efforts, at the direction of Holders constituting a majority of the aggregate outstanding Note Balance of the Controlling Class, which shall have been given prior written notice by the Trustee (upon receipt of notice from the successor Servicer) of the nature of such Errors and Continuing Errors, to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continuing Errors and to prevent future Continuing Errors.  The successor Servicer shall be entitled to recover its costs expended in connection with such efforts in accordance with Section 5.7(a).

SECTION 10.4Notification to Securityholders.  Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to each Securityholder, the Owner Trustee and to the Rating Agencies.

SECTION 10.5Waiver of Past Defaults.  The Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding Note Balance of the Controlling Class may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the consequences thereof (except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the Trust Accounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).  Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement.  No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 10.6Action Upon Certain Failures of the Servicer.  In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of any failure of the Servicer specified in Section 10.1 that would give rise to a right of termination under such Section upon the Servicer’s failure to remedy the same after notice, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Servicer.  For all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 10.6), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of the Servicer as specified in  Sections 10.1(c) through (f) unless notified thereof in writing by the Servicer or by a Securityholder.  The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to investigate or inquire as to any potential failure of the Servicer specified in Section 10.1.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.  The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of any action by Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, may prescribe.
