7

On each Funding Date, the Transferor shall transfer, absolutely assign
and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse except as set
forth herein, a 100% interest in (i) all right, title and interest of
the Transferor in and to the Subsequent Receivables identified on a

provided, however, that Subsequent Receivables may not be acquired by

Granted by the Owner Trustee to the Indenture Trustee unless the
addition of such Subsequent Receivables to the Receivables Pool meets
the requirements set forth in Section 2.16 of the Indenture.

consideration of the absolute assignment by the Transferor to the
Purchaser of the Subsequent Receivables and other Trust Property

express intention of the parties, this Agreement is deemed not to
constitute a transfer, conveyance and assignment of the Trust Property
from the
4
8

security agreement within the meaning of Article 8 and Article 9 of the

grant by the Transferor to the Purchaser of a valid first priority

interest in and to the Trust Property.

Trustee, (b) the Purchaser will absolutely assign all of its right, title and
interest in and to the Initial Receivable and other Trust Property to the Owner

and binding obligation of the Transferor enforceable in
accordance with its terms except as the same may be limited by
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws relating
to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights or by
general equity principles.
(iv) No Violation. The consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
fulfillment of the terms thereof do not conflict with, result
in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor
constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default
under, the certificate of incorporation of the Transferor, or
any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the
Transferor is a party or by which it is bound; nor result in
the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of its
properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture,
agreement or other instrument (other than this Agreement); nor
violate any law or any order, rule or regulation applicable to
the Transferor of any court or of any federal or state
regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental
instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Transferor or its
properties.
(v) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or
investigations pending, or, to the best of its knowledge,
threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative

jurisdiction over the Transferor or its properties: (A)
asserting the invalidity of this Agreement; (B) seeking to

determination or ruling that might materially and adversely
affect the performance by the Transferor of its obligations
under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement.
(vi) No Consents, Approvals. Neither the execution
nor the delivery by the Transferor of this Agreement, or the
performance of the Transferor's obligations hereunder, require
the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to,
7
11
the registration with, or the taking of any other action with
respect to, any governmental authority or agency under any
existing federal or state law governing the Transferor, except
such as have been previously obtained, made or taken.
(vii) No Unpaid Taxes. All tax returns required to be
filed by the Transferor in any jurisdiction have in fact been
filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental
charges upon it or any subsidiary or upon any of its
properties, income or franchises, shown to be due and payable
on such returns have been paid. To the best of the
Transferor's knowledge all such tax returns were true and
correct and neither it nor any subsidiary knows of any
proposed additional tax assessment against it in any material
amount or of any basis therefore.
(viii) Adequate Provisions for Taxes. The provisions
for taxes on the Transferor's books are in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
(ix) Pension/Profit Sharing Plans. No contribution
failure has occurred with respect to any pension or profit
sharing plan of the Transferor and all such plans have been
fully funded as of the date of this Agreement.
(x) Trade Name. "Summit Acceptance Corporation" and
"Capital One Auto Finance, Inc." are the only trade names
under which the Transferor is currently operating its
business. For the six (6) years (or such shorter period of
time during which the Transferor was in existence) preceding
the date hereof, the Transferor operated its business under
the trade name "Capital One Auto Finance, Inc." or "Summit
Acceptance Corporation" or that of its predecessor, "Summit
Acceptance Finance, L.L.C." or that of its predecessor,
"Summit Finance, L.L.C."
(xi) Ability to Perform. There has been no material
impairment in the ability of the Transferor to perform its
obligations under this Agreement.
(xii) Valid Business Reasons; No Fraudulent
Transfers. The Transferor has valid business reasons for
assigning the Receivables rather than obtaining a secured loan
with the Receivables as collateral. At the time of the
assignment: (A) the Transferor absolutely assigned the
Receivables to the Purchaser without any intent to hinder,
delay, or defraud any current or future creditor of the
Transferor; (B) the Transferor was not insolvent or did not
become insolvent as a result of the assignment; (C) the
Transferor was not engaged and was not about to engage in any
business or transaction for which any property remaining with
the Transferor was an unreasonably small capital or for which
the remaining assets of the Transferor were unreasonably small
in relation to the business of the Transferor or the
transaction; (D) the Transferor did not intend to incur, and
did not believe or reasonably should not have believed that it
would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as they become
due; and (E) the consideration paid by the Purchaser to the
Transferor for the Receivables absolutely assigned by the
8
12
Transferor hereunder was equivalent to a fair market value of
such Receivables under the circumstances of the transaction,
including but not limited to, timing of such assignment.
(xiii) Principal Executive Office. Since its
inception, the Transferor has maintained its principal
executive office in the State of Texas.
(xiv) No Omission or Misstatement. Neither this
Agreement nor any statement, report or other document
furnished or to be furnished pursuant to this Agreement by the
Transferor, or in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, contains any untrue statement of fact or
omits to state a fact necessary to make the statements
contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading in so far as the
same relates to the Transferor. The Transferor has good and
marketable title to, and is the owner of, each Receivable
absolutely assigned by the Transferor hereunder and the
indebtedness evidenced by each such Receivable is subject to
no lien, charge, security interest or encumbrance of any kind
or nature and the Transferor has the unqualified right to
contribute, transfer, convey and assign its ownership interest
in each such Receivable and the indebtedness evidenced
thereby; the Transferor has not made any prior assignment of
any Receivable or its rights thereto or thereunder except to
existing lenders, the lien of which lenders will be released
in connection with the transactions hereunder.
(xv) Perfection Representations. The Perfection
Representations shall be a part of this Transfer and
Assignment Agreement for all purposes.
(b) The Transferor makes the following representations and
warranties as to the Receivables absolutely assigned hereunder by the
Transferor on which representations and warranties the Purchaser relies
in acquiring the Receivables. Such representations and warranties speak
as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the
Closing Date or Funding Date, as the case may be, but shall survive the
absolute assignment of the Receivables to the Purchaser and the
subsequent transfer of the Receivables by the Purchaser to the Owner
Trustee pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and Grant of the
Receivables by the Owner Trustee to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
the Indenture:
(i) Characteristics of Receivables. Each Receivable
(A) has been originated in the United States of America by
COAF through a Dealer approved by COAF under COAF's approved
form of Dealer Agreement (a copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit E), in the ordinary course of COAF's business, and
has been fully and properly executed by the parties thereto,
(B) has been assigned, together with the security interest in
the related Financed Vehicle, by the applicable Dealer to
COAF, (C) has created or creates a valid, subsisting, and
enforceable first priority security interest (1) in favor of
COAF in the related Financed Vehicle or (2) in the case of a
Referral Receivable, in favor of the applicable Referral
Originator in the related Financed Vehicle which has been
validly assigned by such Referral Originator to the
Transferor, in each case which
9
13
security interest is being transferred and assigned by the
Transferor to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of
this Transfer and Assignment Agreement and contributed and
assigned by the Purchaser to the Owner Trustee in accordance
with the terms of the Contribution Agreement and Granted by
the Owner Trustee to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with
the terms of the Indenture, (D) contains customary and
enforceable provisions such that the rights and remedies of
the holder thereof are adequate for realization against the
collateral of the benefits of the security, (E) is denominated
in U.S. dollars and provides for level monthly payments
(provided that the payment in the first or last payment period
in the life of the Receivable may be minimally different from
the level payment) that fully amortize the Amount Financed by
maturity and yield interest at the applicable Contract Rate
(as determined in accordance with the definition of Scheduled
Interest Receivables and Simple Interest Receivables), and (F)
to the best knowledge of COAF, is due from an Obligor which is
a citizen of the United States.
(ii) Schedule of Receivables. The information set
forth in the Schedule of Receivables is true and correct in
all material respects as of the close of business on the
applicable Cutoff Date, no selection procedures believed to be
adverse to the Purchaser have been utilized in selecting the
Receivables and the geographic distribution of the Obligors
with respect to the Receivables or the credit quality
characteristics of the Receivables assigned hereunder are not
materially different from the Transferor's existing core
portfolio. The information on the computer tape regarding the
Receivables made available to the Purchaser and its assigns is
true and correct in all material respects.
(iii) Form of Receivables. Each of the Receivables is
substantially in one of the forms included in Exhibit B
attached hereto. Any modifications or deviations from the
applicable form set forth in such Exhibit will not have a
material adverse effect on the Noteholders or the Note Insurer
and will not reduce the Scheduled Payment or other amounts due
under such Receivable.
(iv) Compliance with Law. Each Receivable, the sale
of the related Financed Vehicle and any Extended Service
Agreement complied at the time it was originated or made and
on the Closing Date or Funding Date, as the case may be, does
comply in all material respects with all requirements of
applicable federal, State and local laws, and regulations
thereunder, including, without limitation, usury laws, the
Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act,

the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in
writing of the Obligor, enforceable by the owner thereof in
accordance with its terms.
(vi) No Government Obligor. The Receivables are not
due from the United States of America or any State or from any
agency, department or instrumentality of the United States of
America or any State.
(vii) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle.
Immediately prior to the assignment thereof, each Receivable
was secured by a first priority security interest in the
related Financed Vehicle (1) in favor of the Transferor as
secured party, (2) in the case of a Referral Receivable, in
favor of the Referral Originator thereof which security
interest has been validly assigned by such Referral Originator
to the Transferor or (3) all necessary and appropriate actions
have been commenced that would result in the valid perfection
of a first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle
in favor of the Transferor (or the applicable Referral
Originator) upon completion of processing by the applicable
state agency and the Servicer has a clear legal right to
repossess the Financed Vehicle upon the occurrence of certain
matters including non-payment under the Receivable. The
Transferor warrants that it will defend its security interest
in the Financed Vehicle that has been assigned hereunder
against all Persons.

been waived, impaired, altered or modified in any respect
except in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the
substance of which is reflected in the Schedule of Receivables
as it relates to the information included thereon.
(x) No Amendments. The Receivables have not been
amended such that either the original Receivable Balance was
modified or reduced or the number of the originally scheduled

any right of rescission, recoupment, setoff, counterclaim or
defense.

no lien against the Financed Vehicle for delinquent taxes nor
has such Receivable been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded.
(xiii) No Default. Except for payment delinquencies
continuing for a period of not more than thirty (30) days as

default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration

continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time
would constitute a default, breach, violation or event
permitting acceleration under the terms of such Receivable has
arisen, and the Transferor has not waived any of the
foregoing. As of the applicable Cutoff Date, the Transferor
has no knowledge of why such Receivable would not be paid in
full. The Obligor is not an obligor under any other existing
receivable payable to the Transferor or the Servicer which is
in default or is more than thirty (30) days past due; to the
best knowledge of the Transferor, the Obligor was not an
obligor under any prior receivable which was in default.
(xiv) Origination Date. All of the Receivables
assigned hereunder have been originated on or before the
applicable Cutoff Date.

a loss payee and (ii) insuring against loss and damage due to
fire, theft, transportation, collision and other risks
generally covered by comprehensive and collision coverage.
(xvi) Title. It is the intention of the Transferor
that the transfer and assignment contemplated herein
constitute an absolute assignment of each Receivable from the
Transferor to the Purchaser and that the beneficial interest
in and title to such Receivable not be property of the
Transferor for any purpose under state or federal law.
Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment contemplated
herein, the Transferor had good and marketable title to each
Receivable free and clear of all Liens and, immediately upon
the transfer thereof, the Purchaser will have good and
marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of all
Liens, except any Lien which will be released prior to
assignment hereunder and the Lien created by the Indenture;
and the security interest in each Receivable has been validly
perfected under the UCC and other applicable law, if any.
(xvii) Lawful Assignment. The Receivables have not
been originated in, and are not subject to the laws of, any
jurisdiction under which the contribution, assignment or
pledge of the Receivable hereunder or the Contribution
Agreement or Indenture would be unlawful, void or voidable.

amount of each Receivable has been advanced to the related
Obligor or advanced in accordance with the directions of such
Obligor, and there is no requirement for future advances

Agreement with the Transferor and such Dealer's Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the Transferor and
the related Dealer with respect to the sale of such Receivable

such Dealer; there have been no material defaults by such
Dealer or by the Transferor under such Dealer's Agreement; the
Transferor has fully performed all of its obligations under

or oral) inconsistent with any term of such Dealer's
Agreement; the purchase price (as specified in the applicable
Dealer Agreement) for such Receivable has been paid in full by

from the Transferor for the purchase of such Receivable; such
Dealer has no right, title or interest in or to any
Receivable; there is no prior course of dealing between such
Dealer and the Transferor which will affect the terms of such
Dealer's Agreement. The Receivable was originated in the
United States for the retail sale of the Financed Vehicle in
the ordinary course of the Dealer's business.
(xlii) Obligor Responsibility. Each of the
Receivables contains provisions requiring the Obligor (A) to
assume all risk of loss or malfunction of the related Financed

other than consents which will have been obtained on or before
the Closing Date or Funding Date, as the case may be.

secured by a security interest in a related Financed Vehicle
which has been repossessed and is subject to redemption by the
related Obligor; to the best knowledge of the Transferor, the
Receivables are not secured by a security interest in a
related Financed Vehicle which has been previously repossessed
and redeemed by the original obligor unless approved in
writing by the Note Insurer.
(xlvi) Receivables Pool. The inclusion of any
Receivable in the Receivables Pool after the Closing Date will
not (a) reduce the weighted average Contract Rate of the

17.25%, (b) increase the weighted average remaining term to
maturity of the Receivables included in the Receivables Pool
to greater than 63 months, (c) increase the average Loan to
Value Ratio of Receivables included in the Receivables Pool as
of a Funding Date to greater than 115%, (d) cause the
aggregate Receivable Balances of all Referral Receivables to
exceed 5% of the Aggregate Receivable Balance, or (e) in the
case of the inclusion of a Subsequent Receivable in the
Receivables Pool, result in a material reduction in the
overall credit quality of the Receivables Pool.

name of the Indenture Trustee as secured party have been
delivered to the Custodian.
(xlix) Transferor Fulfilled All Obligations. The
Transferor and the Servicer have duly fulfilled all
obligations to be fulfilled under or in connection with the
origination, acquisition and assignment of the Receivables,
including, without limitation, giving any notices or consents
necessary to effect the Grant of the Receivables to the
Indenture Trustee, and have done nothing to impair the rights
of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer and the Noteholders
in payments with respect thereto. The Transferor has obtained
all necessary licenses, permits and charters required to be
obtained by the Transferor, which failure to obtain would
render any portion of the documents executed in connection
with the assignment from the Transferor to the Purchaser and
the transfer from the Purchaser to the Owner Trustee of the
Receivables and the issuance and sale of the Notes secured
thereby unenforceable or would have a material adverse effect
on the Note Insurer and the Noteholders.
(l) Not Subject to Transfer Taxes. The assignment of
the Receivables by the Transferor pursuant to this Transfer
and Assignment Agreement is not
16
20
subject to and will not result in any Transfer Taxes other
than Transfer Taxes which have been or will be paid by the
Transferor as due.
(li) Complete and Accurate Information. The computer
tape from which the selection was made of the Receivables
being assigned on the Closing Date or Funding Date, as
applicable, has been made available to any firm performing
agreed upon procedures with respect to any information
contained in the Registration Statement, and such information
was complete and accurate as of its date and includes a
description of the same Receivables that are described on the
Schedule of Receivables and the payments due thereunder as of
the Closing Date or Funding Date, as applicable.

such prepayment or termination is at all times equal to or in
excess of the principal value of any Receivable.
(liii) No Purchase After Cutoff Date. None of the
Receivables was purchased by the Transferor after the
applicable Cutoff Date.

the Transferor under each Extended Service Agreement relating
to the Financed Vehicles have been assigned by the Transferor
to the Purchaser, transferred by the Purchaser to the Issuer,
and Granted by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee; and (B)
the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to receive all amounts
due to an Obligor or lienholder upon cancellation of an
Extended Service Agreement by an Obligor with respect to a
Defaulted Receivable.

SCHEDULE I
PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained
in the Transfer and Assignment Agreement, the Transferor hereby represents,
warrants, and covenants to the Seller as to itself as follows on the Closing
Date and on each Payment Date thereafter:
1. The Transfer and Assignment Agreement creates a valid and continuing
security interest (as defined in UCC Section 9-102) in the Receivables in favor
of the Seller, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is
enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Transferor.
2. The Receivables constitute "tangible chattel paper" within the
meaning of UCC Section 9-102.
3. The Transferor has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security
interest against the Obligor in the property securing the Receivables that
constitute chattel paper.
4. The Transferor owns and has good and marketable title to the
Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person,
excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or
levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and
payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or
that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which
adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with
respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to
which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.
5. The Transferor has caused or will have caused, within ten days after
the effective date of the Indenture, the filing of all appropriate financing
statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under
applicable law in order to perfect the contribution and sale of the Receivables
from the Transferor to the Seller, the transfer and sale of the Receivables from
the Seller to the Owner Trustee, and the security interest in the Receivables
granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder.
6. With respect to Receivables that constitute tangible chattel paper,
such tangible chattel paper is in the possession of the Custodian and the
Indenture Trustee has received a written acknowledgment from the Custodian that
the Custodian is holding such tangible chattel paper solely on behalf and for
the benefit of the Indenture Trustee.
7. Neither the Transferor, the Seller, nor the Servicer has authorized
the filing of, or is aware of any financing statements against either the
Transferor, the Seller or the Servicer that include a description of collateral
covering the Receivables, the Trust Property and proceeds related thereto other
than any financing statement (i) relating to the contribution of Receivables by
the Transferor to the Seller under the Transfer and Assignment Agreement, (ii)
relating to the sale of Receivables by the Seller to the Owner Trustee under the
Contribution Agreement, (iii)
I-1
32
relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder, or
(iv) that has been terminated.
8. Neither the Transferor, the Seller nor the Servicer is aware of any
judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against either the Transferor, the Seller or
the Servicer.
9. None of the tangible chattel paper that constitute or evidence the
Receivables has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged,
assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.
10. Survival of Perfection Representations. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Transfer and Assignment Agreement, the Contribution Agreement,
the Indenture or any other Transaction Document, the Perfection Representations
contained in this Schedule shall be continuing, and remain in full force and
effect (notwithstanding any replacement of the Servicer or termination of
Servicer's rights to act as such) until such time as all obligations under the
Transfer and Assignment Agreement, Contribution Agreement and the Indenture have
been finally and fully paid and performed.
11. No Waiver. The parties hereto: (i) shall not, without obtaining a
confirmation of the then-current rating of the Class A Notes, waive any of the
Perfection Representations; (ii) shall provide the Ratings Agencies with prompt
written notice of any breach of the Perfection Representations, and shall not,
without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Class A Notes
(as determined after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following
notice of such breach) waive a breach of any of the Perfection Representations.
