any and all of the foregoing. (All of the property identified in this
subsection (a) and the following subsection (c) shall constitute "Trust

Funding Date, and all moneys received thereon (including amounts received
on any Extended Service Agreements relating thereto), after the respective
Cutoff Date (except for interest accrued as of the related Cutoff Date and
actually received subsequent to the related Cutoff Date which shall be
withdrawn from the
2
6

(ii) the security interest of the Seller in the Financed Vehicles granted
by the Obligors pursuant to such Subsequent Receivables and the
certificates of title to such Financed Vehicles; (iii) the interest of the
Seller in any proceeds from claims on any physical damage, credit life,
risk default, disability or other insurance policies covering the Financed

Agreements relating to Defaulted Receivables from the related Cutoff Date;
(iv) any property (including the right to receive future Liquidation

any Dealer pursuant to the Transfer and Assignment Agreement or the
applicable Dealer Agreement, respectively; (vi) the original retail
installment contracts and security agreements evidencing the Subsequent

provided, however, that Subsequent Receivables may not be acquired by the
Seller from the Transferor, contributed and assigned by the Seller to the
Owner Trustee and 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.
(d) Consideration for Subsequent Receivables. Upon two (2) Business
Days' prior written notice given by the Owner Trustee to the Indenture

representations and warranties to the Transferor having good and marketable
title to the Receivable free and clear of Liens prior to the assignment
from the Transferor to the Seller shall be deemed to be a reference
7
11
to the Seller having good and marketable title to the Receivable free and

Trustee shall cause the Seller and the Seller shall cause the Transferor,
no later than the fifth Business Day following such cure period, if any, to
pay the Repurchase Price to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection

PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained
in the Contribution Agreement, the Seller hereby represents, warrants, and
covenants to the Owner Trustee as to itself as follows on the Closing Date and
on each Payment Date thereafter:
1. The Contribution Agreement creates a valid and continuing
security interest (as defined in UCC Section 9-102) in the Receivables in favor
of the Owner Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and
is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.
2. The Receivables constitute "tangible chattel paper" within the
meaning of UCC Section 9-102.
3. COAF 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 Seller 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 Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days
after the effective date of the Contribution Agreement, 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 COAF 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 Seller nor the Servicer has authorized the filing
of, or is aware of any financing statements against either 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 sale of Receivables by the Transferor to the Seller under
the Transfer and Assignment Agreement, (ii) relating to the contribution of
Receivables by the Seller to the Owner Trustee under the Contribution Agreement,
(iii) relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee
hereunder, or (iv) that has been terminated.
I-1
24
8. Neither the Seller nor the Servicer is aware of any judgment,
ERISA or tax lien filings against either the Seller or the Transferor.
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.
