each Receivable listed on Schedule I to the related Contributor

RECEIVABLES Section 2.01. Transfer and Acquisition of Receivables.
On the Closing Date and on each Funding Date, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the Contributor agrees to
transfer to the Depositor, and the Depositor agrees to acquire from
the Contributor, the Initial Receivables and the related Subsequent
Receivables, respectively, and the Contributed Assets relating
thereto. -2- (a) Initial Transfer of Receivables. On the Closing
Date, simultaneously with the transactions set forth in the
Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Contributor
shall transfer to the Depositor, without recourse except as set
forth herein (i) the Initial Receivables, and all moneys received
thereon on or after the Initial Cutoff Date; and (ii) the related
Contributed Assets. (b) Consideration for Initial Receivables. In
consideration of the Receivables and the related Contributed Assets
described in Section 2.01(a), the Contributor shall, on the Closing
Date, receive (i) an amount equal to the Receivables Purchase Price
in immediately available funds to the extent of the net proceeds
received from the Noteholders from the sale of the Notes under the
Note Purchase Agreement, and (ii) to the extent that the value of
such Contributed Assets exceeds such Receivables Purchase Price, an
increase in the value of the stock of the Depositor, which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Contributor. (c) Transfer of
Subsequent Receivables. On each Funding Date, the Contributor shall
transfer to the Depositor, without recourse except as set forth
herein (i) the related Subsequent Receivables, and all moneys
received thereon on or after the applicable Cutoff Date and (ii)
the related Contributed Assets; provided, however, that Subsequent
Receivables may not be transferred by the Contributor to the
Depositor and then transferred from the Depositor to the Issuer, or
a security interest granted by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee
unless each of the conditions precedent in Section 2.12 of the
Indenture has been satisfied. (d) Consideration for Subsequent
Receivables. Upon two (2) Business Days' prior written notice given
by the Depositor to the Issuer and then from the Issuer to the
Indenture Trustee, the Depositor shall cause the Issuer to cause
the Indenture Trustee, on the applicable Funding Date, to pay to
the Issuer which will pay the Depositor which will pay the
Contributor an amount equal to the Receivables Purchase Price with
respect to the related Subsequent Receivables in immediately
available funds to the extent of the net proceeds received from the
Noteholders from the sale of Additional Note Principal Balances. To
the extent that the value of any such Subsequent Receivables
exceeds the Receivables Purchase Price with respect thereto, the
Depositor shall receive an increase in the value of its ownership
interest in the Issuer, and the Contributor shall receive an
increase in the value of the stock of the Depositor, which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Contributor. (e) Transfer. It is the
intention of the Contributor and the Depositor that each transfer
hereunder constitute an absolute transfer of the Receivables and
the related Contributed Assets from the Contributor to the
Depositor with the intention of removing them from the
Contributor's estate pursuant to Section 541 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, or
any successor provision thereto. If, notwithstanding the express
intention of the parties, this Agreement is deemed not to
constitute an absolute transfer of the Receivables and the
Contributed Assets from the Contributor to the Depositor, this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the
meaning of Article 8 and Article 9 of the Uniform -3- Commercial
Code as in effect in the State of New York, and the conveyance
provided for in this Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be a grant by
the Contributor to the Depositor of a valid first priority
perfected security interest in all of the Contributor's right,
title and interest in and to the Receivables and the Contributed
Assets. Section 2.02. The Closing. The transfer of the Initial
Receivables from the Contributor to the Depositor shall take place
at a closing (the "Closing") on the Closing Date, simultaneously
with the transfer of such Initial Receivables from the Depositor to
the Issuer and the grant by the Issuer of all of its right, title
and interest in and to the Initial Receivables and related
Contributed Assets to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders, and the issuance of the Notes pursuant to the
Indenture. Section 2.03. Funding Dates. The transfer of Subsequent
Receivables on a Funding Date shall take place at such location as
the Contributor, the Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee may reasonably agree. The transfer of Subsequent
Receivables shall be made in accordance with Sections 2.12 through
2.14 of the Indenture pursuant to which (a) the Contributor will
transfer all of its right, title and interest in and to the
Subsequent Receivables and the related Contributed Assets to the
Depositor, (b) the Depositor will transfer all of its right, title
and interest in and to the Subsequent Receivables and the related
Deposited Assets to the Issuer, and (c) the Issuer will confirm the
grant of all of its right, title and interest in and to such
Subsequent Receivables and the related Contributed Assets to the
Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Agent and
the Financial Institutions. ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES Section 3.01. Representations, Warranties and Covenants

the Contributor, and in the case of (g) below, makes the following
covenants for the benefit of the Contributor, as of the Closing

conduct of its business (including, without limitation, the
purchase of the Receivables from the Contributor hereunder and
under each Contributor Assignment, the conveyance of the
Receivables by the Depositor pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and each Depositor Assignment, and the performance of its
other obligations under this Contribution Agreement, the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, each Assignment and the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party) requires such qualifications
except those jurisdictions in which failure to be so qualified
would not have a material adverse effect on the business or
operations of the Depositor, on the ability of the Depositor to
perform its obligations under the Transaction -4- Documents or on
the Noteholders, the Issuer, the Receivables or any other part of
the Trust Estate. (b) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery
and performance by the Depositor of this Agreement have been duly

require any approval or consent of any Person, do not and will not
conflict with any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or
By-laws of the Depositor, and do not and will not conflict with or
result in a breach which would constitute (with or without notice
or lapse of time) a default under any agreement, indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument binding upon or
applicable to it or its property or any law or governmental
regulation or court decree applicable to it or its property, do not
and will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon
any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any indenture,
agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument (other than
as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents), and this

Depositor 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. (c) No Proceedings. There
are no proceedings or investigations pending, or to the Depositor's
knowledge, threatened, before any court, regulatory body,

Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Notes, or any other Transaction
Document; (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this
Contribution Agreement, any Assignment, the Sale and Servicing
Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party;
(C) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and
adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of its
obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this
Contribution Agreement, any Assignment, the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document to which it
is a party; (D) which might adversely affect the federal or state
income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the Notes;
or (E) that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Receivables. (d) Business Purpose. The Depositor will
acquire the Receivables for a bona fide business purpose and has
undertaken the transactions contemplated herein as principal rather
than as agent for the Contributor or any other person. (e)
Depositor's Records. The books and records of the Depositor will
disclose that the Contributor made a valid assignment of the
Receivables to the Depositor; provided, however, the Depositor
acknowledges that, solely for the purposes of generally accepted
accounting principles, the Receivables will appear as assets of the
Contributor and its consolidated subsidiaries in the consolidated
financial statements of such Persons (which financial statements
will include a footnote stating that the Receivables are not
available to satisfy the Contributor's creditors). -5- (f)
Depositor's Address. The Depositor Address is, and has been since
its date of incorporation, the chief place of business and the
office where the Depositor keeps its records concerning the
Receivables and the Contributed Assets. The Depositor's chief
executive office is and has been since its date of incorporation

Depositor's jurisdiction of incorporation is, and has been since
its date of incorporation, Delaware. (g) Taxes. All tax returns or
extensions required to be filed by the Depositor in any
jurisdiction (other than jurisdictions in which the failure to file
would not have a material adverse effect on the Depositor, the
Depositor's ability to perform its obligations under the
Transaction Documents, any Noteholder or any Receivable or any
other part of the Trust Estate) have in fact been filed, and all
taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon the
Depositor, or upon any of the properties, income or franchises
shown to be due and payable on such returns have been, or will be,
paid or are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings with respect to which the Agent has received written
notice. To the knowledge of the Depositor, all such tax returns are
true and correct and the Depositor has no knowledge of any proposed
additional tax assessment against it in any material amount nor of
any basis therefor. (h) Accuracy of Information. All information
heretofore furnished by the Depositor for purposes of or in
connection with any of the Transaction Documents or any transaction
contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information
hereafter furnished by the Depositor will be, true and accurate in
every material respect on the date such information is stated or
certified and does not and will not contain any material
misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact
necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

occurred that would have a material adverse effect on (i) the
financial condition or operations of Depositor, (ii) the ability of
Depositor to perform its obligations under the Transaction
Documents, or (iii) the collectibility of the Receivables generally
or any material portion of the Receivables. (j) Compliance with
Laws. The Depositor has complied in all respects with all
applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments,
injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject ,except
where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to

any Receivable or other part of the Trust Estate. Section 3.02.
Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Contributor. The
Contributor hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor as of
the Closing Date and each Funding Date (except as otherwise
provided): (a) On the Closing Date, with respect to the Initial
Receivables, and on the related Funding Date, with respect to the
Subsequent Receivables: -6- (i) Characteristics of Receivables.
Each Receivable (A) was originated by the Contributor or a Dealer
for the retail sale or refinancing of a Financed Vehicle in the
ordinary course of the Contributor's or such Dealer's business, and
the Contributor or such Dealer had all necessary licenses and
permits to originate Receivables in the State where the Contributor
or such Dealer was located, was fully and properly executed by the
parties thereto, and, in the case of Receivables originated by a
Dealer, was purchased by the Contributor from such Dealer under an
existing Dealer Agreement with the Contributor and was validly
assigned by such Dealer to the Contributor, (B) contains customary
and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and
remedies of the holder thereof adequate for realization against the
collateral security, (C) is not a Rule of 78s Receivable or a
pre-computed interest Receivable, but is a fully amortizing simple
interest receivable which provides for level monthly payments
(provided that the payment or payments in the first Collection
Period and the final Collection Period of the life of the
Receivable may be minimally different from the level payment)
which, if made when due, shall fully amortize the Amount Financed
over the original term, (D) provides that, in the event such
Receivable is prepaid, such prepayment fully pays the principal
balance and all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of
such prepayment at an interest rate equal to or greater than the
APR, (E) has not been amended, rewritten, modified or deferred, nor
any provision thereof waived, except in accordance with the
Collection Policy and the provisions of the Transaction Documents,
(F) is payable in United States dollars and (G) does not entitle
the Contributor to reduce, nor has the Contributor reduced, the APR
under such Receivable to below 4%. (ii) No Fraud or
Misrepresentation. Each Receivable was originated by a Dealer and
sold by such Dealer to the Contributor, or was originated by the
Contributor, without any fraud or material misrepresentation on the
part of such Dealer or on the part of the related Obligor. (iii)
Compliance with Law. Each Receivable and each sale of Financed
Vehicles complied all material respects at the time such Receivable
or sale was originated or made and now complies in all material
respects with all requirements of applicable federal, State and
local laws, and regulations thereunder (including, without
limitation, usury laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal
Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair
Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the
Federal Trade Commission Act, the Federal Trade Commission Credit
Practice Rules, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Federal Reserve
Board's Regulations "B" and "Z," the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil
Relief Act of 1940, Division 3 of the California Vehicle Code,
state unfair and deceptive trade practice laws and state
adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform
Consumer Credit Code and other consumer credit laws and equal
credit opportunity and disclosure laws). (iv) Origination. Each
Receivable was originated in the United States and each Receivable
(other than the Lendco Receivables and the Ultra Receivables), at
the time of origination, conformed to requirements of the
Contributor's then current "Underwriting Guidelines" (the most
recent copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C) and credit
policies applicable to such Receivable. -7- (v) Binding Obligation.
Each Receivable represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding
payment obligation in writing of the Obligor thereon, enforceable
by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except (A) as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by equitable limitations on the
availability of specific remedies, regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law
and (B) as such Receivable may be modified by the application after
the related Cut-off Date of the Solders' and Sailors' Civil Relief
Act of 1940 as amended; and all parties to each Receivable had full
legal capacity to execute and deliver such Receivable and all other
documents related thereto and to grant the security interest
purported to be granted thereby. (vi) Obligors. Each Obligor is
domiciled in the United States. None of the Obligors is an
Affiliate of Bay View Acceptance or is employed by Bay View
Acceptance. None of the Obligors is the United States of America or
any State or local government or any agency, department,
subdivision or instrumentality thereof. No Receivable has been
included in a "fleet" sale (i.e., a sale to any single obligor of
more than five (5) Financed Vehicles. (vii) Obligor Bankruptcy. At
the related Cutoff Date, no Obligor has been identified on the
Contributor's records as being the subject of a current bankruptcy
proceeding as a debtor, except for Obligors under Chapter 13
Receivables. (viii) Schedule of Receivables. The information
pertaining to each Receivable set forth in the Schedule of
Receivables has been produced from the Contributor's electronic
ledger and was true and correct in all material respects as of the
close of business on the related Cutoff Date and at the Closing
Date or the related Funding Date, as applicable. (ix) Marked
Records. By the Closing Date or the related Funding Date, as
applicable, each of the Contributor and the Depositor will have
caused the portions of its records relating to the Receivables to
be clearly and unambiguously marked to show that the Receivables
have been transferred by the Contributor to the Depositor
hereunder, and have been transferred by the Depositor to the Issuer
and constitute part of the Trust Estate pledged to the Indenture
Trustee. (x) Computer Tape or Listing. The computer tape made
available by the Contributor to the Backup Servicer on the Closing
Date or the related Funding Date was complete and accurate
(excluding any typographical or clerical errors that do not affect
the outstanding balance of Receivables listed on such computer
tape) as of the related Cutoff Date and includes a description of
the same Receivables that are described in the Schedule of
Receivables. (xi) Chattel Paper. The Receivables constitute
electronic or tangible chattel paper within the meaning of the UCC.
-8- (xii) One Original. There is only one original executed copy of
each Receivable. (xiii) Custodian Files Complete. There exists a
Custodian File pertaining to each Receivable, and such Custodian
File contains: (A) a fully executed original of the related retail
installment contract, and an acknowledgment of the Custodian that
it holds such Receivable for the benefit of the Noteholders, (B)
evidence of either (1) a certificate of insurance, (2) an
application form for insurance signed by the Obligor or (3) a
signed representation letter from the Obligor named in the
Receivable pursuant to which the Obligor has agreed to obtain
physical damage insurance for the related Financed Vehicle, (C) the
original or electronic equivalent of the Certificate of Title or,
with respect to a Certificate of Title filed electronically, a
report prepared by a third party service that shows such service
maintains perfection related to such Certificate of Title on behalf
of the Servicer; or, if the Certificate of Title has not yet been
received, and in the case of each electronic Certificate of Title,
an application therefor, or a copy of such Certificate of Title
with a copy of the application filed to amend the Certificate of
Title to indicate the security interest of the Contributor in the
related Financed Vehicle, (D) the original executed copy or
electronic equivalent of an original credit application signed by
the Obligor; (E) the originals of all assumption, consolidation,
extension, modification or waiver agreements, if any, relating to
such Receivable except for any such item listed above which has
been preserved by electronic means; (F) any other documents that
the Servicer shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary
procedures, or reasonably required by the Issuer, from time to time
to be kept on file, relating to a Receivable, the related Obligor
or the related Financed Vehicle; and (G) any additional original
loan documents evidencing any assumption, consolidation, extension,
modification or waiver of a Receivable approved by the Servicer.
Each of such documents which is required to be signed by the
Obligor has been signed by the Obligor in the appropriate spaces.
All blanks on any form have been properly filled in and each form
has otherwise been correctly prepared in all material respects. The
complete Custodian File for each Receivable is currently in the
possession of the Custodian. (xiv) Receivables in Force. No
Receivable has been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, and the
Financed Vehicle securing each such Receivable has not been
released from the Lien of the related Receivable in whole or in
part. No provisions of any Receivable have been waived, altered or
modified in any respect since its origination, except by
instruments or documents identified in the Custodian File held by
the Custodian and in accordance with the Collection Policy in all
material respects. No Receivable has been modified as a result of
application of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940,
as amended. (xv) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable was originated
in, or is subject to the laws of any jurisdiction, the laws of
which would make unlawful, void or voidable the sale, transfer and
assignment of such Receivable under this Agreement, the Sale and
Servicing Agreement or the Indenture. The Contributor has not
entered into any agreement with any account debtor that prohibits,
restricts or conditions the assignment of any portion of the
Receivables. Each Receivable, by its terms, is assignable. -9-
(xvi) Good Title. No Receivable has been sold, transferred,
assigned or pledged by the Contributor to any Person other than the
Depositor. Immediately prior to the conveyance of the Receivables
to the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement, the Contributor was
the sole owner thereof and had good and indefeasible title thereto,
free of any Lien, and, upon execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the applicable Contributor Assignment by the
Contributor, the Depositor shall have good and indefeasible title
to and will be the sole owner of such Receivables, free of any
Lien. No Dealer has a participation in, or other right to receive,
proceeds of any Receivable. The Contributor has not taken any
action to convey any right to any Person that would result in such
Person having a right to payments received under the related
Insurance Policies or the related Dealer Agreements or to payments
due under such Receivables. (xvii) Security Interest in Financed
Vehicle. Each Receivable is secured by a valid, binding and
enforceable first priority perfected security interest in favor of
the Contributor in the Financed Vehicle. The Certificate of Title
for each Financed Vehicle shows (or, if a new or replacement
Certificate of Title is being applied for with respect to such
Financed Vehicle, the Certificate of Title will be received within
one hundred eighty (180) days of the Closing Date or the related
Funding Date, as applicable, and will show) the Contributor named
as the original secured party under each Receivable as the holder
of a first priority perfected security interest in such Financed
Vehicle. With respect to each Receivable for which the Certificate
of Title has not yet been returned from the applicable governmental
authority, the Servicer has received written evidence from the
related Dealer that such Certificate of Title showing the
Contributor as first lienholder has been applied for. If the
Receivable was originated in a State in which the filing or
recording of a financing statement under the UCC is required to
perfect a security interest in motor vehicles, such filings or
recordings have been duly made and show the Contributor named as
the original secured party under the related Receivable. As of the
Initial Cutoff Date or the related Subsequent Cutoff Date, as
applicable, there were no Liens or claims for taxes, work, labor,
storage or materials affecting a Financed Vehicle which are or may
be Liens prior or equal to the lien of the related Receivable. Each
security interest in the Financed Vehicles has been or, with
respect to Subsequent Receivables, will be as of the related
Funding Date, validly assigned by the Contributor to the Depositor
pursuant to this Agreement and the related Contributor Assignment.
(xviii) All Filings Made. On the Closing Date or the related
Funding Date, as applicable, filings (including, without
limitation, UCC filings) required to be made by any Person and
actions required to be taken or performed by any Person in any
jurisdiction to give the Depositor a first priority perfected
ownership interest in the Initial Receivables and the Subsequent
Receivables, respectively, and the proceeds thereof have been made,
taken or performed or will be made, taken or performed on or prior
to the Closing Date or the related Funding Date, as applicable, and
as of the Closing Date or the related Funding Date, as applicable,
the Depositor has or will have, as applicable, such a first
priority perfected ownership interest. (xix) No Impairment. The
Contributor has not done anything to convey any right to any Person
that would result in such Person having a right to payments due
under -10- the Receivables or otherwise to impair the rights of the
Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in
any Receivable or the proceeds thereof. (xx) Receivable Not
Assumable. No Receivable is assumable by another Person in a manner
which would release the Obligor thereof from such Obligor's
obligations to the Contributor with respect to such Receivable.
(xxi) No Defenses. No Receivable is subject to any right of
rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense and no such right has
been asserted or threatened with respect to any Receivable. The
operation of the terms of any Receivable or the exercise of any
right thereunder will not render such Receivable unenforceable in
whole or in part or subject to any such right of rescission,
setoff, counterclaim or defense. (xxii) No Default. There has been
no uncured default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration under the terms of any Receivable (other than payment
delinquencies of not more than thirty (30) days as of the Initial
Cutoff Date or the related Funding Date, as applicable, or payment
delinquencies of thirty (30) days or more that have been cured on
or prior to the Closing Date or related Funding Date, as
applicable), and no condition exists or event has occurred and is
continuing that with notice, the lapse of time or both would
constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration under the terms of any Receivable, and there has been
no waiver of any of the foregoing. As of the Initial Cutoff Date
and the Subsequent Cutoff Date, as applicable, no related Financed
Vehicle funded on such date had been repossessed from the related
Obligor or repossessed by the Servicer from any other Person.
(xxiii) Insurance. At the time of the origination of each
Receivable with a Receivable Balance of $50,000 or greater, the
related Financed Vehicle was covered by a comprehensive and
collision insurance policy (A) in an amount at least equal to the
lesser of (i) its maximum insurable value or (ii) the principal
amount due from the Obligor under the related Receivable, (B)
naming the Contributor and its successors and assigns as loss payee
and (C) insuring against loss and damage due to fire, theft,
transportation, collision and other risks generally covered by
comprehensive and collision coverage. Each Receivable that finances
the cost of premiums for gap, credit life and credit accident and
health insurance is covered by such an Insurance Policy. The
Financed Vehicle relating to each Receivable that finances the cost
of an extended service contract is covered by such a service
contract. Each Receivable requires the Obligor to maintain physical
loss and damage insurance, naming the Contributor and its
successors and assigns as additional insured parties
