Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A delivered

the Receivables or the other assets and properties conveyed
hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related
thereto.
SECTION 2.2 Agreement to Sell and

Funding Date (collectively, the “ Subsequent Purchased
Assets ” and, together with the Initial Purchased Assets
and all proceeds of the foregoing, the “ Purchased

made hereunder does not constitute and is not intended to result in

the Receivables or the other assets and properties conveyed
hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related
thereto.

Purchased Assets on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, if such purchase price for the Initial Purchased Assets

such Initial Purchased Assets in an amount equal to such excess
shall be deemed to have been contributed to the Purchaser by
COAF.

preceding sentence, if the Purchase Price to be paid by the
Purchaser for such Subsequent Transferred Assets exceeds the amount
of any cash payments paid by the Issuer to the Purchaser on such

undivided interest in such Subsequent Transferred Assets in an
amount equal to such excess shall be deemed to have been

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND
COVENANTS
SECTION 3.1 Representations and
Warranties of COAF . COAF makes the following representations
and warranties as of the Closing Date and as of each Funding Date
on which the Purchaser will be deemed to have relied in acquiring
the Purchased Assets. The representations and warranties will

the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the pledge thereof by the
Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture:
(a) Existence and Power .
COAF is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of its state of organization and has, in all material
respects, full power and authority to own its assets and operate

deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents
to which it is a party or affect the enforceability or
collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the
Purchased Assets. COAF has obtained all necessary licenses and
approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would
materially and adversely affect the ability of COAF to perform its
obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the
enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other
part of the Purchased Assets.
(b) Authorization and No
Contravention . The execution, delivery and performance by COAF
of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of COAF and do not
contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law,
rule or regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any
material indenture or material agreement or instrument to which
COAF is a party or by which its properties are bound (other than
violations of such laws, rules, regulations, indentures or
agreements which do not affect the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or
in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the
transactions contemplated by, or COAF’s ability to perform
its obligations under, the Transaction Documents).
(c) No Consent Required . No
approval or authorization by, or filing with, any Governmental
Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery
and performance by COAF of any Transaction Document other than (i)
UCC filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously
been obtained and filings that have previously been made and (iii)
approvals, authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or
made, would not have a material adverse effect on the
enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other
part of the Purchased Assets or would not materially and adversely
affect the ability of COAF to perform its obligations under the
Transaction Documents.

(2005-B-SS)
|
(d) Binding Effect . Each
Transaction Document to which COAF is a party constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of COAF enforceable against
COAF in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of limited
liability companies from time to time in effect or by general
principles of equity.
(e) No Proceedings . There
are no actions, orders, suits or proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of COAF, threatened against COAF before or by any
Governmental Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or
unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
Documents, (ii) seek to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii) seek any
determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect
the performance by COAF of its obligations under this Agreement or
any of the other Transaction Documents or have a material adverse
effect on the Noteholders or (iv) that would materially and
adversely affect the federal or Applicable Tax State income,
excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the
Notes.
(f) Lien Filings . COAF is
not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings
against COAF.
SECTION 3.2 Representations and
Warranties of COAF as to each Receivable . On the date hereof,
with respect to the Initial Receivables, or on each Funding Date,
with respect to the Subsequent Receivables, COAF hereby makes the
representations and warranties set forth on Schedule I to
the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the Purchaser as to the Initial
Receivables and the Subsequent Receivables, as applicable, sold,
transferred, assigned and otherwise conveyed to the Purchaser under
this Agreement on which such representations and warranties the
Purchaser relies in acquiring the Receivables. Such representations
and warranties shall survive the sale of the Receivables to the
Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and the Grant of the
Receivables by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture. Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary contained
herein or in any other Transaction Document, COAF shall not be
required to notify any insurer with respect to any Insurance Policy
obtained by an Obligor.
SECTION 3.3 Repurchase upon
Breach . Upon discovery by or notice to the Purchaser or COAF
of a breach of any of the representations and warranties described
in Section 3.2 which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders, the party discovering
such breach or receiving such notice shall give prompt written
notice thereof to the other party; provided , that delivery
of the Servicer’s Certificate shall be deemed to constitute
prompt notice by the Servicer and the Issuer of such breach;
provided, further, that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect any obligation of COAF hereunder. If the breach
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser,
the Issuer or the Noteholders in such Receivable, then COAF shall
either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) repurchase such
Receivable from

|

(2005-B-SS)
|
the Purchaser, in either case on or before the
Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which
includes the 60th day after the date COAF became aware or was
notified of such breach. Any such purchase by COAF shall be at a
price equal to the Repurchase Price. In consideration for such
repurchase, COAF shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment
to the Purchaser equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing such
amount into the Collection Account prior to noon, New York City
time on such date of repurchase. Upon payment of such Repurchase
Price by COAF, the Purchaser shall release and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse or representation, as may be reasonably
requested by COAF to evidence such release, transfer or assignment
or more effectively vest in COAF or its designee any Receivable and
related Purchased Assets repurchased pursuant to this Section
3.3 . It is understood and agreed that the obligation of COAF
to purchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the
sole remedy respecting such breach available to the
Purchaser.
SECTION 3.4 Protection of
Title .
(a) COAF shall authorize and file
such financing statements and cause to be authorized and filed such
continuation and other statements, all in such manner and in such
places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and
protect the interest of the Purchaser under this Agreement in the
Receivables (other than any Related Security with respect thereto,
to the extent that the interest of the Purchaser therein cannot be
perfected by the filing of a financing statement). COAF shall
deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Purchaser file-stamped
copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided
above, as soon as available following such filing.
(b) COAF shall not change its name,
identity, corporate structure or jurisdiction of organization in
any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation
statement filed by COAF in accordance with paragraph (a)
ab
