BACKGROUND
The parties hereto are parties to a receivables purchase and contribution agreement, dated as
of August 12, 2004 (as amended, modified or supplemented, the “Receivables Purchase and
Contribution Agreement”) between the Seller and the Buyer. The parties hereto desire to amend
the Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:
SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms defined in the Receivables Purchase and
Contribution Agreement and used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in
the Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement.
SECTION 2. Amendments.
(a) The following definitions are hereby added in the appropriate alphabetical order in
Section 1.1 of the Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement:
“Discount Factor” means, for any Monthly Period, 0% or such higher
percentage not to exceed 2% as the Transferor in its sole discretion may designate
in accordance with the following sentence; provided that the Transferor shall not
designate a Discount Factor greater than 0% for any Monthly Period if such
designation would cause the Note Trust Principal Balance to be less than the
Required Principal Balance or the Free Equity Amount to be less than the Minimum
Free Equity Amount as of the effective date of such designation. Transferor shall
provide written notice to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee of any initial
designation, increase or reduction of the Discount Factor for any Monthly Period by
not later than the Transfer Date following the end of such Monthly Period and such
initial designation, increase, reduction or elimination shall become effective for
such Monthly Period as of the first day of such Monthly Period.
(b) The definition of “Non-Principal Collections” in Section 1.1 of the Receivables Purchase
and Contribution Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“Non-Principal Collections” means the sum of (a) Collections of
interest and all other non-principal charges (including insurance service fees and
handling

fees) on the Receivables, provided that if the Master Servicer does not
allocate such non-principal charges to specific Receivables, the amounts received

manufacturers of Manufacturer Subsidy Amounts; and (e) the product of (i) any other
Collections not described in the preceding clauses (a) through (d) of this
definition, multiplied by (ii) the Discount Factor.
(c) The definition of “Non-Principal Receivables” in Section 1.1 of the Receivables
Purchase and Contribution Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:
“Non-Principal Receivables” with respect to any Account means (a) all
amounts billed to the related Dealer in respect of interest and all other
non-principal charges, provided that if the Master Servicer does not allocate such
non-principal charges to specific Receivables, the amounts received shall constitute
“Non-Principal Receivables” pursuant to this clause (a) if they are paid by
a Dealer which is an obligor of an Account, (b) without duplication, all amounts
owed in respect of Manufacturer Discount Amounts and Manufacturer Subsidy Amounts
pursuant to this definition and (c) at any time the Discount Factor is greater than
0%, the product of (i) the Outstanding Balance of the Principal Receivables in such
Account (determined without giving effect to the proviso in the definition of
“Principal Receivables”) multiplied by (ii) the Discount Factor.
(d) The definition of “Principal Receivable” in Section 1.1 of the Receivables
Purchase and Contribution Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the

shown on Seller’s records as Receivables (other than such amounts which represent
Non-Principal Receivables described in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of
“Non-Principal Receivables” payable by the related Dealer); provided that at
any time the Discount Factor is greater than 0%, the amount of Principal Receivables
on any date shall mean the product of (i) the Principal Receivables as otherwise
determined pursuant to this definition, multiplied by (ii) 1 minus the Discount
Factor.

(b) The Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement, as amended hereby, remains in full

(c) Except as expressly amended hereby, the Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed by the parties hereto.
SECTION 5. Miscellaneous.
(a) THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL
MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402
OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS
THEREOF) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN
THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE
ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AMENDMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATED TO THIS AMENDMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
3
ANY APPEAL FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN
NEW YORK CITY. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY
ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH
PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE
RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF
THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE
OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED
TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 7.1 OF THE RECEIVABLES PURCHASE
AND CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF
SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER
POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL
PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
(c) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST
QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH
APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT
THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE
BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO
WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE,
WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR
INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(d) Headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the
meaning of this Amendment or any provision hereof.
(e) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the parties hereto on
separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
