ARTICLE III
THE OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATE AND TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS

Section 3.01. The Ownership Certificate. The Ownership Certificate shall initially be issued as a single certificate in definitive, fully registered form and shall initially be registered in the name of the Initial Holder. No Ownership Certificate shall be issued in authorized denominations of less than a 100% Percentage Interest in such Certificates. The Ownership Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Officer of the Owner Trustee and authenticated in the manner provided in Section 3.02. An Ownership Certificate bearing the manual signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Ownership Certificate or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Ownership Certificate. A Person shall become a Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such Person’s acceptance of an Ownership Certificate duly registered in such Person’s name pursuant to Section 3.03.

Section 3.02. Execution, Authentication and Delivery of the Ownership Certificate.

Concurrently with the sale of the Collateral to the Trust pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Ownership Certificate issued hereunder to be executed and authenticated on behalf of the Trust and authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board, its president or any vice president, without further corporate action by the Depositor. The Ownership Certificate shall not entitle its Holder to any benefits under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless there shall appear on such Ownership Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, executed by the Owner Trustee or the Administrator, as the Owner Trustee’s authenticating agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Ownership Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. An Ownership Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

Section 3.03. Registration of and Limitations on Transfers and Exchanges of the Ownership Certificate. The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of the Ownership Certificate and of transfers and exchanges of the Ownership Certificate as herein provided; provided, however, that no Ownership Certificate shall be issued in any such transfer and exchange representing less than a 100% Percentage Interest in such Certificate. The Administrator shall be the initial Certificate Registrar. If the Certificate Registrar resigns or is removed, the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the Depositor, shall appoint a successor Certificate Registrar.

Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, upon surrender for registration of transfer of an Ownership Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or cause the Administrator as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee, a new Ownership Certificate evidencing the Percentage Interest of the Ownership Certificate so surrendered and dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar.

Every Ownership Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Ownership Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Ownership Certificate, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the Ownership Certificate or any other expense arising as a result of any registration of transfer or exchange.

The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall not make and the Certificate Registrar shall not register transfer or exchanges of an Ownership Certificate for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Ownership Certificate.

No transfer of an Ownership Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws. Except in the case of the initial transfer to the Initial Holder, in the event of any such transfer, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall prior to such transfer require the transferee to execute (i) an investment letter (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1) certifying to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor that such transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” under Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or (ii) an investment letter (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2) certifying to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor that such transferee is an “accredited investor” (as

defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of the Securities Act, and any expense associated with the preparation and execution of any such investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor. A Holder desiring to effect the transfer of an Ownership Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor against any and all liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

Except in the case of the initial transfer to the Initial Holder, no transfer of an Ownership Certificate shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received a representation letter (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E) from the proposed transferee of such Ownership Certificate to the effect that such proposed transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA, or Section 4975 of the Code, or a Person acting on behalf of any such plan or using the assets of any such plan, which representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Ownership Certificate shall be owned at all times directly by an Eligible Corporation and shall be subject to the restrictions below.

Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of the Ownership Certificate:

(i) the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 representing and warranting, among other things, that such transferee is an Eligible Corporation, and the proposed transferor shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2;

(ii) the Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no obligation to) require the delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar, satisfactory in form and substance to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, that such proposed transferee is an Eligible Corporation; and

(iii) Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of the Ownership Certificate to a Person other than an Eligible Corporation, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a holder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on the Ownership Certificate. The Certificate Paying Agent shall not be under any liability to any person for any registration or transfer of the Ownership Certificate to a Person other than an Eligible Corporation, or for the maturity of any payments due on the Ownership Certificate to any Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in accordance with this Section, unless the Certificate Paying Agent shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such payment or other action that

the transferee is not an Eligible Corporation. The Certificate Paying Agent shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of the Ownership Certificate that was not an Eligible Corporation at the time it became or any subsequent time it ceased to be an Eligible Corporation, all payments made on the Ownership Certificate at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Certificate Paying Agent shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder.

If any purported transferee shall become a Holder in violation of the provisions of this Section, then upon receipt of written notice to the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Paying Agent that the registration of transfer of the Ownership Certificate to such Holder was not in fact permitted by this Section, then the transfer to that Holder shall be void ab initio and the last preceding Holder that was and that continues to be an Eligible Corporation shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer of the Ownership Certificate. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of an Ownership Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section, for making any payment due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the immediately preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Ownership Certificate. If (a) a mutilated Ownership Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or (b) the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction that an Ownership Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, and there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar proof of ownership satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, together with such security or indemnity as required by the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee that such Ownership Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust, and the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Ownership Certificate, a new Ownership Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Ownership Certificate under this Section 3.04, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar (including any fees and expenses of counsel) and any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Ownership Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Ownership Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 3.05. Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Prior to due presentation of an Ownership Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Certificate Paying Agent may treat the Holder as the owner of such Ownership Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Certificate Paying Agent shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

Section 3.06. Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a written request therefor from the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, in such form as the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, may reasonably require, of the name and address of the Holder as of the most recent Record Date. A Holder, by receiving and holding an Ownership Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Trust, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee accountable or liable for damages by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 3.07. [Reserved]

Section 3.08. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Certificate Registrar on behalf of the Trust, shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where an Ownership Certificate may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Ownership Certificate and the Operative Agreements may be served. The Certificate Registrar shall give the Owner Trustee prompt notice, in writing, of any such notice or demand. The Certificate Registrar initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Administrator as its office for such purposes. The Certificate Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

Section 3.09. Certificate Paying Agent.

(a) The Owner Trustee may appoint, and hereby appoints, the Administrator as Certificate Paying Agent under this Agreement. The Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Holder from the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof and Section 5.07 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and, upon request, shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee. The Certificate Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Administrator hereby accepts such appointment and further agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Transfer and Servicing Agreement relating to the Certificate Paying Agent and shall:

(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Ownership Certificate in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Person or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

(ii) give the Owner Trustee notice of any default by the Trust of which a Responsible Officer of the Administrator has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Ownership Certificate;

(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Owner Trustee forthwith pay to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust all sums so held in Trust by such Certificate Paying Agent;

(iv) immediately resign as Certificate Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Ownership Certificate if at any time it ceases to meet the standards under this Section 3.09 required to be met by the Certificate Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

(v) not institute bankruptcy proceedings against the Trust in connection with this Agreement.

(b) In the event that the Administrator shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent hereunder, the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the Depositor, shall appoint a successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that as Certificate Paying Agent, such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment in trust for the benefit of the Holder entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holder. The Certificate Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee, and upon removal of a Certificate Paying Agent, such Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The provisions of Sections 5.03, 5.04, 6.01, 6.05, 6.07, 6.08, 7.01 and 7.02 shall apply to the Administrator also in its role as Certificate Paying Agent for so long as the Administrator shall act as Certificate Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other Certificate Paying Agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrator and the Certificate Paying Agent shall be the same entity as the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and the Transfer and Servicing Agreement unless an Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Indenture Trustee determines or is advised that a conflict of interest exists or will exist if the Indenture Trustee continues to act as Administrator and Certificate Paying Agent. In such event, the Administrator and the Certificate Paying Agent shall resign and the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the Depositor, shall appoint a successor Administrator in accordance with the Administration Agreement.

Section 3.10. Initial Beneficiary. Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.05 and until the issuance of the Ownership Certificate, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust.

provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Holder requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Holder, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person.

As to any fact or matter the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Owner Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any vice president (or the general partner, in the case of a partnership) and by the treasurer or any assistant treasurer or the secretary or any assistant secretary of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

(b) In its exercise or administration of the trusts and powers hereunder, including its obligations under Section 5.02(b), and in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement or the other Operative Agreements, the Owner Trustee may employ agents and attorneys and enter into agreements (including the Administration Agreement) with any of them, and the Owner Trustee shall not be answerable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys if such agents or attorneys shall have been selected by the Owner Trustee with reasonable care. If, and to the extent, the Depositor shall have failed to reimburse the Owner Trustee for all reasonable expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 6.05(b), as provided in Section 7.01, the Owner Trustee may seek reimbursement therefor from the Trust Estate.

(c) In the administration of the trusts and performance of its duties hereunder, the Owner Trustee may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled Persons to be selected and employed by it, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the reasonable advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled Persons. If, and to the extent, the Depositor shall have failed to reimburse the Owner Trustee for all reasonable expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 6.05(c), as provided in Section 7.01, the Owner Trustee may seek reimbursement therefor from the Trust Estate.

Section 6.06. Not Acting in Individual Capacity. Except as provided in this Article VI, in accepting the trusts hereby created the Owner Trustee acts solely as trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity, and all persons having any claim against the Owner Trustee by reason of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements shall look only to the Trust Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof.

Section 6.07. Owner Trustee Not Liable for Ownership Certificate or Collateral. The recitals contained herein and in the Ownership Certificate (other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the Ownership Certificate) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any Operative Agreement or of the Ownership Certificate (other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the Ownership Certificate) or the Notes, or of any Collateral or related documents. The Owner Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Collateral, or the perfection and priority of any security interest created by any Collateral or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement or the Noteholders under the Indenture, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Collateral; the existence and enforceability of any insurance thereon; the existence and contents of any Collateral on any computer or other record thereof; the validity of the assignment of any Collateral to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any Collateral; the performance or enforcement of any Collateral; the compliance by the Depositor with any warranty or representation made under any Operative Agreements or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation or any action of the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee taken in the name of the Owner Trustee.

Section 6.08. Owner Trustee May Own Ownership Certificate and Notes. The Owner Trustee in its individual capacity may become the Holder (provided it is an Eligible corporation) or the owner or pledgee of Notes and may deal with the Depositor, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee in banking transactions with the same rights as it would have if it were not Owner Trustee.

Section 6.09. Licenses. The Depositor shall cause the Trust to use its best efforts to obtain and maintain the effectiveness of any licenses required in connection with this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby until such time as the Trust shall terminate in accordance with the terms hereof. It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to cooperate with the Depositor with respect to such matters.

Section 6.10. Doing Business in Other Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Bank nor the Owner Trustee shall be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will (i) require the consent or approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction or any political subdivisions

thereof in existence on the date hereof other than the State of Delaware becoming payable by the Bank or the Owner Trustee; or (iii) subject the Bank or the Owner Trustee to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions by the Bank or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby. The Owner Trustee shall be entitled to obtain advice of counsel (which advice shall be an expense of the Trust) to determine whether any action required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement results in the consequences described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence. In the event that such counsel advises the Owner Trustee that such action will result in such consequences, the Owner Trustee will appoint a co-trustee pursuant to Section 9.05 hereof to proceed with such action.

Section 8.01. Termination of Agreement.

(a) This Agreement (other than Article VII) shall terminate and the trusts created hereby shall dissolve and terminate and the Trust Estate shall, subject to the Indenture and Sections 4.01 and 7.04 and Section 3808 of the Delaware Trust Statute, be distributed to the Holder, and this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, upon the earlier of (i) the full payment of principal and interest due on all Classes of the Notes (or in the case of the Class P Notes, redemption thereof pursuant to the terms of the Indenture) ; and (ii) the sale or other final disposition by the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, of all the Trust Estate and the final distribution by the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and Section 4.02.

SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES AND ADDITIONAL OWNER TRUSTEES

Section 9.01. Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a corporation satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Delaware Trust Statute; authorized to exercise corporate powers; having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authorities; and having (or having a parent which has) a short-term debt rating of at least “A-1” or the equivalent by, or which is otherwise acceptable to, the Rating Agencies. If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.02.

Section 9.02. Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.

If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may remove the Owner Trustee. If the Depositor shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee and payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.03 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to the Rating Agencies.

Section 9.03. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and

thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner Trustee without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to all Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Administrator fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Administrator.

Section 9.04. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any Person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 9.05. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate or any Collateral may at the time be located, and for the purpose of performing certain duties and obligations of the Owner Trustee with respect to the Trust and the Certificates under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as co- trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 9.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.03.

The Owner Trustee hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as Administrator for the purpose of establishing and maintaining the Certificate Account and making the distributions

therefrom to the Persons entitled thereto pursuant to Section 5.03 and Section 5.07 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. The Owner Trustee and the Administrator each agree that upon the occurrence and continuation of an Indenture Event of Default and a determination by the Indenture Trustee that a conflict of interest exists or will exist if the Indenture Trustee continues to act as the Administrator, the Administrator shall resign and the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor Administrator in accordance with the Administration Agreement.

Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provision and conditions:

(a) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties, and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

(b) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and

(c) the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to the separate trustees and co-trustees, as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee, other than this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement and to the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of appointment, shall be vested with the estates specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as its Agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

A copy of the Agreement may be examined by any Certificateholder upon written request during normal business hours at the principal office of the Depositor and at such other places, if any, designated by the Depositor.

The Agreement permits the amendment thereof as specified below, provided that any amendment be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment complies with the provisions of the Agreement and would not cause the Trust to be subject to an entity level tax. If the purpose of the amendment is to correct any mistake, eliminate any inconsistency, cure any ambiguity or deal with any matter not covered, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee. If the purpose of the amendment is to add or eliminate or change any provision of the Agreement, other than as specified in the preceding sentence, the amendment shall require the consent of the Holder, the consent of Noteholders evidencing more than 66 ^2/3 % at the Outstanding Balance of the Notes and the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the time of, payments received that are required to be distributed to the Holder or to any Noteholder, or (ii) waive the requirement of consent of the Holder or reduce the aforesaid percentage of Noteholders which are required to consent to any such amendment.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Ownership Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Ownership Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained by the Trust in the State of New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new Ownership Certificate will be issued to the designated transferee.

Except as provided in the Agreement, the Ownership Certificate is issuable only in a minimum Percentage Interest of 100%.
