a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Indenture Trustee or the

Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such
collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that
it services for itself or others and otherwise act with respect to the Receivables in such a manner
as will, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize the amount to be received by the
Trust with respect thereto. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment
charge, late payment charge or any other similar fees that may be collected in the ordinary course
of servicing any Receivable.
(b) The Servicer may grant payment extensions in accordance with its customary procedures if
the Servicer believes in good faith that such extension is necessary to avoid a default on such
Receivable, will maximize the amount to be received by the Trust with respect to such Receivable
and is otherwise in the best interests of the Trust; provided, that no such extension shall extend
the final payment date on any Receivable beyond the last day of the Collection Period ending three
months prior to the Class D Maturity Date. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Servicer shall grant payment extensions with respect to a Receivable only to the extent permissible
in its extension policy in effect from time to time, which policy in effect as of the date hereof
is attached hereto as Exhibit D. Generally, a Contract may be extended for at most one month per

purchase the related Receivable in accordance with Section 4.07.

eventual payment in full is unlikely. The Servicer shall begin such repossession and conversion
procedures as soon as practicable after default on such Receivable; provided, however, that the
Servicer may elect not to repossess a Financed Vehicle within such time period if in its good faith
judgment it determines that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable
would be increased by forbearance. In repossessing or otherwise converting the ownership of a
Financed Vehicle and liquidating a Receivable, the Servicer is authorized to follow such customary
practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, consistent with the standard of
care required by Section 4.01, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to
realize upon any recourse to Dealers, the sale of the related Financed Vehicle at public or private
sale, the submission of claims under an insurance policy and other actions by the Servicer in order
to realize upon a Receivable; provided, however, that in any case in which the Financed Vehicle
shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or
towards the repossession of such Financed
21
Vehicle unless it shall determine in its reasonable judgment that such repair or repossession shall
increase the related Liquidation Proceeds by an amount materially greater than the expense for such
repair or repossession. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses incurred
by it in the course of repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds, but only
out of the cash proceeds of the sale of such Financed Vehicle, any deficiency obtained from the
related Obligor or any amounts received from recourse to the related Dealer.

related Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to
re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event of
the relocation of a Financed Vehicle, or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of
a Receivable to the Issuer is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s
certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the
laws of the state in which such Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security interest in the
related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Issuer, the Servicer hereby agrees that the designation of
HMFC as the secured party on the certificate of title is in its capacity as agent of the Issuer.
(b) The Depositor, the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, and the Servicer hereby agree that, upon
a Servicer Termination Event, the Indenture Trustee may take or cause to be taken such actions as
may, in the opinion of counsel to the Indenture Trustee, be necessary to perfect or re-perfect the
security interests in the Financed Vehicles in the name of the Issuer, including by amending the
title documents of the Financed Vehicles. The Servicer hereby agrees to pay all expenses related to
such perfection or reperfection and to take all action necessary therefor.
Section 4.06 Covenants of Servicer. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Servicer hereby covenants as follows (upon which covenants the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Owner Trustee rely in accepting the Receivables and delivering the applicable Securities):
(a) Liens in Force. No Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable shall be released in whole or in
part from the security interest granted by such Receivable, except upon payment in full of such
Receivable or as otherwise contemplated herein;
(b) No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Trust in the
property of the Trust;
(c) No Amendments. The Servicer shall not extend or otherwise amend the terms of any
Receivable, except in accordance with Section 4.02 and the Servicer shall not
22
amend or modify the Credit and Collection Policy if such amendment or modification may have a
material adverse effect on the interest of the Noteholders; and
(d) Restrictions on Liens. The Servicer shall not (A) create, incur or suffer to exist, or
agree to create, incur or suffer to exist, or consent to or permit in the future (upon the
occurrence of a contingency or otherwise) the creation, incurrence or existence of any Lien on or
restriction on transferability of any Receivable except for the Lien of the Indenture and the
restrictions on transferability imposed by this Agreement or (B) file any UCC financing statements
in any jurisdiction that names HMFC, the Servicer or the Depositor as a debtor, and any Person
other than the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer as a secured party, or sign any
security agreement authorizing any secured party thereunder to file any such financing statement
with respect to the Receivables or the related property.
Section 4.07 Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. Upon discovery by any of the Servicer, the
Seller, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee of a breach of any of the
covenants set forth in Sections 4.02, 4.05 or 4.06, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other parties; provided, however, that the failure to give any such
notice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer under this Section 4.07. On or before the
last day of the first Collection Period following its discovery or receipt of notice of the breach
of any covenant set forth in Sections 4.02, 4.05 or 4.06 that materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders or the
Noteholders in any Receivable, the Servicer shall, unless such breach shall have been cured in all
material respects by such date, purchase from the Issuer the Receivable affected by such breach. In
consideration of the purchase of any such Receivable, the Servicer shall remit the related Purchase
Amount into the Collection Account, with written notice to the Indenture Trustee of such deposit,
in the manner specified in Section 5.04. Subject to Section 7.02, it is understood and agreed that
the obligation of the Servicer to purchase any Receivable with respect to which such a breach has
occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy
against the Servicer for such breach available to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders.
Section 4.08 Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Servicer on each Payment
Date. The Servicing Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with
its activities under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred
in connection with distributions and reports made by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee). The Servicer shall be required to pay all of the Indenture Trustee’s fees,
expenses, reimbursements and indemnifications.

necessary to make the distributions to be made on the related Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.05
for the related Collection Period and any other information the Indenture Trustee may reasonably
request and such Servicer’s Certificate shall be certified by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer
to the effect that the information provided is complete and no defaults have occurred. If any
defaults have occurred, such Servicer’s Certificate will provide an
23
explanation of such defaults. Receivables to be purchased by the Servicer or to be repurchased by
the Seller and each Receivable that became a Liquidated Receivable shall be identified by the
Servicer by account number with respect to such Receivable (as specified in the applicable Schedule
of Receivables).
Section 4.10 Annual Statement as to Compliance, Notice of Servicer Termination Event.
(a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and each Rating
Agency, within 120 days after the end of the Servicer’s fiscal year (or, in the case of the first
such certificate, not later than April 30, 200[___]), an Officer’s Certificate signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Servicer, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer
during the preceding 12-month period (or such shorter period in the case of the first such
Officer’s Certificate) and of the performance of its obligations under this Agreement has been made
under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the
Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such period or, if there
has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to
such officer and the nature and status thereof.
(b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and each Rating
Agency, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than two Business

Section 4.11 [Reserved]
Section 4.12 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Receivables. The
Servicer shall provide to representatives of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the
Certificateholders and the Noteholders reasonable access to the documentation regarding the
Receivables and the related Trust property. The Servicer will provide such access to any
Certificateholder and Noteholder only in such cases where the Certificateholder or Noteholder shall
be required by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation. In each case,
access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal
business hours at the offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation
of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such
obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.
Section 4.13 Term of Servicer. The Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to act as Servicer
under, and for the term of, this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.03 and 7.06.
Section 4.14 Annual Independent Accountants’ Report. The Servicer shall cause a firm of
independent certified public accountants, which may also render other services to the Servicer or

Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee, to the effect that such firm has audited the books and records
of the Servicer and issued its report thereon and that (i) such audit was made in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records
and such other auditing procedures as such firm considered necessary in the circumstances and (ii)
the firm is independent of the Depositor and the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of
Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Section 4.15 Reports to the Commission. The Servicer shall, on behalf of the Issuer, execute

Section 6.10 of the Indenture (a “Separate Trustee”)) from time to time reasonable compensation for
all services rendered by the Indenture Trustee or Separate Trustee, as the case may be, under the

compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
(b) except as otherwise expressly provided in the Indenture, reimburse the Indenture Trustee
or any Separate Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances

within two Business Days to the Collection Account; provided, however, that if the Servicer fails
to transfer such payments to the Collection Account within two Business Days or the Servicer shall
for any reason no longer be acting as Servicer, HMFC at its expense shall deliver to the successor
Servicer all documents and records relating to the Post Office Boxes and cause Citibank N.A. to
transfer payments related to the Receivables directly from the Post Office Box to the Collection
Account. Amounts on deposit in the Local Remittance Account shall not be invested.

the amounts deposited thereto are held for the benefit of the Noteholders.
(ii) The Issuer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall cause
the Servicer to establish with and maintain in the name of the Indenture

interest in all funds received and all funds on deposit from time to time

with respect to the Receivables, the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds
thereof (including all income thereon). The Trust Accounts shall be under
the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of
the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, as the case may be. If, at any
time, a Trust Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Indenture
Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 5 Business Days (or

bylaws of the Servicer, or any indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to
which the Servicer is a party or by which it is bound; or result in the creation or imposition of

Section 7.02 Indemnities of Servicer. The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only
to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Servicer and the representations
made by the Servicer under this Agreement:
(a) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Securityholders and the Depositor and any of the officers, directors,
employees and agents of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee from and against
any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities arising out of or resulting

be asserted against any of such parties with respect to the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement, including any sales, gross receipts, tangible or intangible personal property, privilege
or license taxes (but not including any federal or other income taxes, including franchise taxes
asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the transfer of the Receivables to the Trust or

Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Securityholders and any of the officers, directors, employees
or agents of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee from and against any and all

loss, claim, damage or liability arose out of, or was imposed upon any such Person through, the
negligence, misfeasance or bad faith of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this
Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
For purposes of this Section, in the event of the termination of the rights and obligations of
HMFC (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 7.03) as Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02, or
the resignation by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, such Servicer shall be deemed to be
the Servicer pending appointment of a successor Servicer (other than the Indenture Trustee)
pursuant to Section 8.03.
Indemnification under this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Servicer or
the termination of this Agreement, and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and
reasonable expenses of litigation. If the Servicer shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant
to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects
any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer,
without interest. The Servicer shall pay all amounts due, pursuant to this Section, with respect to
the Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee as set forth in Section 5.05(b)(xi).
Section 7.03 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Servicer. The
Servicer shall not merge or consolidate with any other Person, convey, transfer or lease
substantially all its assets as an entirety to another Person, or permit any other Person to become
the successor to the Servicer’s business unless, after such merger, consolidation, conveyance,
transfer, lease or succession, the successor or surviving entity shall be capable of fulfilling the
duties of the Servicer contained in this Agreement. Any Person (i) into which the Servicer may be
merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer shall
be a party, (iii) that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of the assets of
the Servicer or (iv) succeeding to the business of the Servicer, which Person shall execute an
agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement, shall be
the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement. The Servicer shall provide
notice of any merger, consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section 7.03(a) to the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer
shall not merge or consolidate with any other Person or permit any other Person to become a
successor to the Servicer’s business unless
36
(i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made
pursuant to Section 7.01 shall have been breached (for purposes hereof, such representations and
warranties shall speak as of the date of the consummation of such transaction) and no event that,
after notice or lapse of time or both, would become a Servicer Termination Event shall have
occurred, (ii) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or
succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 7.03(a) and that all
conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied
with and (iii) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel stating that either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements and
amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the
interest of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in the assets of the Trust and
reciting the details of such filings or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and
protect such interest.
Section 7.04 Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others. None of the Servicer or any of
its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Issuer, the
Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders,
except as provided in this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Servicer or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of a
breach of this Agreement or willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
duties. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may conclusively
rely in good faith on the written advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.
Section 7.05 Appointment of Subservicer. The Servicer may at any time appoint a subservicer to
perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that 10
days’ prior notice of such appointment shall have been given to each Rating Agency, and each Rating
Agency shall have notified the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee in writing
that such appointment satisfies the Rating Agency Condition; and provided further, that the
Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the
Securityholders for the servicing and administering of the Receivables in accordance with the
provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment
of such subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the
Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Receivables. The fees and expenses of any
subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer and such subservicer from time to time, and
none of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Securityholders shall have any
responsibility therefor.
Section 7.06 Servicer Not to Resign.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.03(a), the Servicer shall not resign from the
obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as Servicer except upon a determination that
the performance of its duties under this Agreement shall no longer be permissible under applicable
law.
37
(b) Notice of any determination that the performance by the Servicer of its duties hereunder
is no longer permitted under applicable law shall be communicated to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing,
shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No resignation of the
Servicer shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the responsibilities and
obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 8.03. If no successor Servicer has been
appointed within 30 days of resignation or removal, the Servicer, as the case may be, may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for such appointment.
ARTICLE VIII.
DEFAULT
Section 8.01 Servicer Termination Events. For purposes of this Agreement, the occurrence and
continuance of any of the following shall constitute a “Servicer Termination Event”:
(a) Any failure by the Servicer to deposit into any Account any proceeds or payment required
to be so delivered or to direct the Indenture Trustee to make the required payment from any Account
under the terms of this Agreement that continues unremedied for a period of five Business days
after written notice is received by the Servicer or after discovery of such failure by a
Responsible Officer of the Servicer;
(b) Failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any material respect,
any covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, which failure (i)
materially and adversely affects the rights of the Securityholders and (ii) continues unremedied
for a period of 60 days after discovery of such failure by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer or
after the date on which written notice of such failure requiring the same to be remedied shall have
been given to the Servicer by any of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders
evidencing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Amounts of the Controlling Class of Notes; or
(c) The occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer.
Section 8.02 Consequences of a Servicer Termination Event. If a Servicer Termination Event
shall occur, the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the voting interests
of the Controlling Class may, by notice given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Depositor if given by such Noteholders), terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. On or after the receipt by the
Servicer of such written notice, all authority, power, obligations and responsibilities of the
Servicer under this Agreement automatically shall pass to, be vested in and become obligations and
responsibilities of the successor Servicer; provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall
have no liability with respect to any obligation that was required to be performed by the
terminated Servicer prior to the date that the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any
38
claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer. The
successor Servicer is authorized and empowered by this Agreement to execute and deliver, on behalf
of the terminated Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the
Receivables and related documents to show the Indenture Trustee (or the Owner Trustee if the Notes
have been paid in full) as lienholder or secured party on the related certificates of title of the
Financed Vehicles or otherwise. The terminated Servicer agrees to cooperate with the successor
Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the terminated Servicer
under this Agreement, including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of
all money and property held by the Servicer with respect to the Receivables and other records
relating to the Receivables, including any portion of the Receivables File held by the Servicer and
a computer tape in readable form as of the most recent Business Day containing all information
necessary to enable the successor Servicer to service the Receivables. The terminated Servicer
shall also provide the successor Servicer access to Servicer personnel and computer records in
order to facilitate the orderly and efficient transfer of servicing duties.
Section 8.03 Appointment of Successor Servicer.
(a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section
8.02 or upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.06, the Indenture Trustee or the
Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the voting interests of the Controlling Class shall appoint
a successor Servicer which shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity
as Servicer under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the rights, responsibilities,
restrictions, duties, liabilities and termination provisions relating to the Servicer under this
Agreement, except as otherwise stated herein. The Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee and such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as
shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. If a successor Servicer is acting as Servicer
hereunder, it shall be subject to termination under Section 8.02 upon the occurrence of any
Servicer Termination Event after its appointment as successor Servicer. The original Servicer shall
pay any and all fees and expenses incurred as a result of a transfer of servicing.
(b) The Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the voting interests of the Controlling Class
shall have no liability to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Depositor,
any Noteholders, any Certificateholders or any other Person if it exercises its right to appoint a
successor to the Servicer. Pending appointment pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the outgoing
Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such
appointment.
(c) Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the
predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer, and shall be entitled to
the Servicing Fee and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and
provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.04 Notification to Securityholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a
successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Administrator shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the Certificateholders, and the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the Noteholders and each Rating Agency.
Section 8.05 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the voting
interests of the Controlling Class may, on behalf of all Securityholders, waive in writing any
default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences,
except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the Trust Accounts in
accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to
exist, and any Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied
for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or impair any right consequent thereto.
ARTICLE IX.
TERMINATION
Section 9.01 Optional Purchase of All Receivables.
(a) On each Determination Date as of which the Pool Balance is equal to or less than 10% of
the Initial Pool Balance, the Servicer shall have the option to purchase the Receivables. To
exercise such option, the Servicer shall deposit to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.04
an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Amount for the Receivables and shall succeed to all
interests in and to the Receivables. The exercise of such option shall effect a retirement, in
whole but not in part, of all outstanding Notes.
(b) As described in Article IX of the Trust Agreement, notice of any termination of the Trust
shall be given by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as soon as
practicable after the Servicer has received notice thereof.
