Dear ++++++,

I appreciate your time on the phone today and your interest in Carousel Insurance “Spot Delivery Insurance Program“. As per our discussion, I am sending this letter to give you a better understanding of how Carousel may assist you and your car sales. Please review the following and visit the website links for more information www.autowebapp.com or www.insuracar.com .

As a successful representative in Albuquerque, I have built several agencies catering to the local car dealerships and understand the importance that insurance plays in your closing process. I have been recently introduced to Carousel Insurance, a California based company, and found them to be very progressive in their niche market for dealership business. Approved by the State of New Mexico, Carousel can allow a car dealership representative to bind full coverage auto insurance for their customers over Carousel’s website and print I.D. cards instantly.

The process is actually very simple and inclusive. Here is how it works:

Dealership needs to insure customer to sell vehicle
Authorized dealership representative logs on to website and answers customer information, vehicle information and selects appropriate coverage option.
Website generates a declaration page “binder” and I.D. cards that are printed right from your computer.
Customer is insured!!!

Does this really work? YES!! There is currently a dealership in the Santa Fe area that has used the website over 65 times and is reported to be thrilled by the simplicity and convenience.

The best part is that there is absolutely no costs or fees to access the website and you have the ability to use this innovative tool as many times as you need or not at all.

Over 90 dealerships in the state of New Mexico have already received their log in and password for the website and more are requesting a visit from me to gain access. If you have any questions or would like to get your free codes over the phone, please let me know.

Respectfully,

Timothy C. Warner
President

What is "spot delivery" insurance coverage??
State regulations and the conditional sales contract (see the clause entitled INSURANCE) provides that when a customer does not have proof of insurance at the time of sale the automobile-dealer can order insurance to protect their "security interest" and contingent liability in the vehicles they sell/lease. The Program is designed exclusively for auto dealers and there is no requirement for the dealer to have an insurance license since the dealer is ordering insurance coverage to protect their security interest and contingent liability in the vehicles they sell or lease. The minimum coverage limits offered in any approved state will meet the state mandated financial responsibility insurance coverage requirements.

Who provides the coverage??
The insurance coverage is provided by an insurer rated A+ by the A.M. Best Company and is accepted by all lenders.

How do I order coverage??
Dealers using Carousel in select states can now instantaneously order spot delivery insurance coverage either under www.autowebapp.com or if the proper software is installed the coverage can be ordered with as little as 4 clicks of a mouse. There are no forms to complete, sign or fax. Here are some of the benefits by using the Carousel Spot Delivery Insurance Program

Dealers can order and receive insurance coverage confirmation in less than 30 seconds using Carousel.

All drivers are accepted. There is no danger of rejection nor is there any concern about the customers driving record, age, gender, license status or any other unnamed drivers in the household!

TOTAL DEALER CONTROL! No outside agent to call when the customer cannot provide proof of insurance at the time of sale! Program allows a dealer to safely deliver vehicles at any time 24/7! The guaranteed issue coverage is bound immediately by ordering coverage via the internet at www.autowebapp.com

The Dealer is issued an annual policy but can order just the amount of insurance coverage necessary to get funded, usually between 10 and 30 days, which protects their gross. Dealers can cancel the coverage pro-rata if the customer provides proof of alternative coverage. Dealers will be electronically notified with an insurance hot sheet 48 hours prior to the expiration of any policy. If needed, Dealers can order additional days of coverage via an 800 phone line 24/7.

As the named insured the dealer will be billed for the coverage ordered. This enables the dealer to timely cash their finance contracts by providing the lender with proof of coverage without delay! Each customer will be offered the opportunity to continue the coverage at the same coverage limits.

Please contact us at www.insuracar.com or call (800) 452-7743 x224 to get further information or to check if your state is approved for this Program.

PAYMENT FOR COVERAGE ORDERED
The dealer will be billed for the coverage ordered. Payments for multiple customers can be combined on a single dealer check and mailed to Carousel within 5 days. All checks must be made payable to either ANPAC or Carousel Insurance Services. The dealer's business office personnel can review the current receivables list by logging onto the dealer's site at www.autowebapp.com. The business office would use the Dealer Login 1.0. and Password and then go the Reports Menu, Click on Receivables Report.

A dealer can substitute or replace the vehicle originally reported to Carousel at any time during the coverage period by sending in the new sales contract with the substitute vehicle description. The substitute or replacement vehicle must be valued below the maximum coverage limit per state or calling 1-800-452-7743 ext. 221

CANCELLATIONS AND UNWINDS

Vehicles not delivered
In order to receive a flat cancellation and credit of the premium amount due the dealership must submit the following items within the initial coverage term selected by the dealer.

A completed Statement of Facts, or written notice as applicable per the state law and signed by the dealership, that the vehicle was never delivered, did not leave the dealership and the "deal" is an unwind.
