Ladies and Gentlemen:

SECTION 1. Introduction. Hyundai ABS Funding, LLC (the “Depositor”) proposes to cause Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 20[__]-[__] (the “Trust”) to issue $[_______] principal amount of its Class A-1 Notes (the “Class A-1 Notes”), $[_______] principal amount of its Class A-2-A Notes (the “Class A-2-A Notes”), $[_______] principal amount of its Class A-2-B Notes (the “Class A-2-B Notes”), $[_______] principal amount of its Class A-3 Notes (the “Class A-3 Notes”), $[_______] principal amount of its Class A-4 Notes (the “Class A-4 Notes”), $[______] principal amount of its Class B Notes (the “Class B Notes”), $ [____] principal amount of its Class C Notes (the “Class C Notes”), and $[_______] principal amount of its Class D Notes (the “Class D Notes”) and together with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2-A Notes, the Class A-2-B Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes, the “Notes”) and the Depositor proposes to sell the [Class [ ] Notes] in the amounts as set forth on Schedule I to the several underwriters set forth on Schedule I (each, an “Underwriter”), for whom [_______] is acting as representative (the “Representative”). Hyundai Capital America (“HCA”), [through the Depositor], intends to retain [the Certificate which together with the eligible horizontal cash reserve account constitutes at least 5% of the fair value of all of the Notes and the Certificate][an amount equal to at least 5% of the initial principal amount of each class of Notes], pursuant to the requirements of the final rules contained in Regulation RR, 17 C.F.R. §246.1, et seq. (the “Credit Risk Retention Rules”), implementing the credit risk retention requirements of Section 15G of the Exchange Act. [HCA also intends to retain the Class [ ] Notes on the Closing Date.] The remaining Notes that are sold to the Underwriters are hereinafter referred to as the “Underwritten Notes”.

The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Indenture”), between the Trust and [_______], as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”). The assets of the Trust will include, among other things, a pool of retail installment sale contracts acquired by Hyundai Capital America (“HCA”) and sold to the Trust on the Closing Date (the “Receivables”) secured by new and used automobiles, light-duty trucks and minivans and financed thereby (the “Vehicles”), certain monies received thereunder after the close of business on [_______] (the “Cutoff Date”) and the other property and the proceeds thereof to be conveyed to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”) among the Trust, HCA, as seller and servicer, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee. Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Depositor will sell the Receivables to the Trust and HCA will service the Receivables on behalf of the Trust. In addition, pursuant to the Owner Trust Administration Agreement to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Administration Agreement”) among the Trust, HCA and the Indenture Trustee, HCA will agree to perform certain administrative tasks on behalf of the Trust. The Depositor formed the Trust pursuant to a trust agreement, and it will be governed by an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) to be dated as of the Closing Date among the Depositor, HCA and [_______], as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”). The owner trust certificate (the “Certificate”), representing a fractional undivided interest in the Trust, will be issued to the Depositor pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

The Depositor will acquire the Receivables from HCA pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) to be dated as of the Closing Date between the Depositor and HCA. HCA has acquired the Receivables from franchised dealers (the “Dealers”) pursuant to certain dealer retail agreements between each Dealer and HCA (collectively, the “Dealer Retail Agreements”).

The Trust will provide for the review of certain of the Receivables for compliance with the representations and warranties made about them in certain circumstances under an Asset Representations Review Agreement to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Asset Representations Review Agreement”) among the Trust, HCA and Xxxxxxx Fixed Income Services LLC, as asset representations reviewer (the “Asset Representations Reviewer”).

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Underwriting Agreement (this “Agreement”) shall have the meanings set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement or if not defined therein, then as defined in the Prospectus (as defined below). As used herein, the term “Transaction Documents” refers to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes, the Trust Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Asset Representations Review Agreement and the Administration Agreement.

At or prior to the date when sales to purchasers of the Underwritten Notes were first made to investors by the Underwriters, which was [_______] (the “Applicable Date”), the Seller had prepared (i) the Preliminary Prospectus dated [_______] (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) and (ii) the Free Writing Prospectus dated [_______] relating to the ratings on the Underwritten Notes (the “Ratings Free Writing Prospectus” and together with the Preliminary Prospectus and written communications constituting a bona fide electronic road show within the meaning of Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (the “Road Show Materials”), collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”). If, subsequent to the Applicable Date and prior to the Closing Date, such Time of Sale Information included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and the Underwriters terminate their old “Contracts of Sale” (within the meaning of Rule 159 under the Securities Act) and enter into new Contracts of Sale with investors in the Underwritten Notes, then the “Time of Sale Information” will refer to the information conveyed to investors at the time of entry into such new Contract of Sale, in an amended Preliminary Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus approved by the Depositor and the Representative that corrects such material misstatements or omissions (a “Corrected Prospectus”) and “Applicable Date” will refer to the time and date on which such new Contracts of Sale were entered into.

(a) As a condition of the several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Underwritten Notes, each of the Depositor and HCA makes the representations and warranties set forth below to the Representative and each of the Underwriters on and as of the date hereof. To the extent a representation or warranty specifically relates to the Depositor, such representation or warranty is made by the Depositor and HCA jointly, and to the extent a representation or warranty specifically relates solely to HCA, such representation or warranty is only made by HCA and not by the Depositor.

(i) The registration statement on Form SF-3 (No. 333-261719), including the exhibits thereto, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for registration under the Securities Act, which registration statement has been declared effective by the Commission within the three years prior to the Closing Date and is still effective as of the date hereof. Such registration statement, including the exhibits thereto, as amended to the date hereof, is hereinafter called the “Registration Statement.” A form of prospectus is included in the Registration Statement filed with the Commission. A final prospectus, dated [__________], relating to the Notes (the “Prospectus”), will be filed with the Commission in connection with the offering and sale of the Underwritten Notes pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (“Rule 424(b)”) within the time period required thereby. Any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or the filing date of the Prospectus deemed to be incorporated therein by reference pursuant to Item 14 of Form SF-3 under the Securities Act.

(ii) Reserved.

- 3 -

(iv) The Time of Sale Information, at the Applicable Date, did not, and at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that neither HCA nor the Depositor makes any representation or warranty with respect to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information.

(v) The Ratings Free Writing Prospectus has been filed with the Commission (to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Securities Act).

(vi) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Preliminary Prospectus and in the Prospectus there has not been any material adverse change, or, to the best of our knowledge, any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the condition, financial or otherwise, earnings, business or operations of any of HCA or its subsidiaries, including the Depositor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as disclosed to the Representative in writing prior to the date hereof.

In making such representation, the Trust relies on one or more of the exclusions or exemptions from the definition of “investment company” contained in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act or Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions on which the Trust may rely. The Trust is being structured so as not to constitute a “covered fund” for purposes of the regulations adopted to implement Section 619 of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (such statutory provision together with such implementing regulations, the “Xxxxxxx Rule”).

(x) The issuance of the Notes and the sale of the Underwritten Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Depositor and, when executed, authenticated and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture, the Underwritten Notes will be valid and binding obligations of the Trust, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, conservatorship, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights in general and to general principles of equity.

(xv) None of the Depositor or HCA is in violation of any term or provision of its charter documents or by-laws, or in breach of or in default under any statute or any judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or other governmental authority or any arbitrator applicable to the Depositor or HCA, the consequence of which violation, breach or default would have (a) a material adverse effect on or constitute a material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, properties, business affairs, net worth or results of operations of the Depositor or HCA or (b) a material and adverse effect on its ability to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, in each case, to which it is a party.

- 6 -

(xviii) No legal or governmental proceedings are pending (or, to the knowledge of HCA, threatened) against the Depositor or HCA except for such proceedings that would not, if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, singly or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, properties, business affairs, net worth or results of operations of the Depositor or HCA or the Depositor’s or HCA’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or on the consummation of the transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(xix) No default exists, and no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default in the due performance and observance of any term, covenant or condition of any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other material agreement or instrument to which the Depositor or HCA is a party or by which the Depositor or HCA or any of its respective properties is bound.

(xxiv) Assuming that the Underwritten Notes are issued in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and distributed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and as described in the Prospectus, the Underwritten Notes are “asset-backed securities” within the meaning of, and satisfy the requirements for use of, Form SF-3 under the Securities Act.

- 8 -

(xxxiv) [HCA has complied, and as of the Closing Date will comply, and is the appropriate entity to comply, with all requirements imposed on the “sponsor of a securitization transaction” in accordance with the final rules contained in the Credit Risk Retention Rules, directly or (to the extent permitted by the Credit Risk Retention Rules) through a majority-owned affiliate (as defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules, a “Majority-Owned Affiliate”). HCA or one or more of HCA’s Majority-Owned Affiliates will hold an “eligible horizontal residual interest” and will cause to be established an “eligible horizontal cash reserve account” (each as defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules). HCA determined the fair value of the “eligible horizontal residual interest” (such interest, the “Retained Interest”) disclosed in the Prospectus under the heading "Credit Risk Retention", and will determine and disclose the fair value of the Retained Interest as of the Closing Date as required by Rule 4(c)(1)(ii) of the Credit Risk Retention Rules. HCA has determined, and as of the Closing Date will determine, the fair value of the Retained Interest based on its own valuation methodology, inputs and assumptions and is solely responsible therefor.] [HCA has complied, and is the appropriate entity to comply, with all requirements imposed on the “sponsor of a securitization transaction” in accordance with the final rules contained in the Credit Risk Retention Rules, directly or (to the extent permitted by the Credit Risk Retention Rules) through a majority-owned affiliate (as defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules, a “Majority-Owned Affiliate”).

(b) The above representations and warranties shall be deemed to be repeated in their entirety at and as of the Closing Date.

SECTION 3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Underwritten Notes. (a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Depositor agrees to cause the Trust to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Trust the respective principal amount of the Underwritten Notes set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule I, at a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to “Price $” as specified on Schedule II hereto. Delivery of and payment for the Underwritten Notes shall be made at the offices of [__________] at [____] a.m. (New York City time) on [_______], 20[__] (or at such other place and time on the same or other date as shall be agreed to in writing by the Representative and the Depositor, the “Closing Date”). Delivery of one or more global notes representing the Underwritten Notes shall be made against payment of the aggregate purchase price in immediately available funds drawn to the order of the Depositor. The global notes to be so delivered shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The interests of beneficial owners of the Underwritten Notes will be represented by book entries on the records of DTC and participating members thereof. Definitive notes representing the Underwritten Notes will be available only under limited circumstances, as described in the Prospectus.

- 9 -

(b) The Depositor hereby acknowledges that the payment of monies pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof (a “Payment”) by or on behalf of the Underwriters of the aggregate Purchase Price for the Underwritten Notes does not constitute closing of a purchase and sale of the Underwritten Notes. Only the execution and delivery, by facsimile or otherwise, of a receipt for Notes by the Representative prior to the cut-off time for DTC settlement on the Closing Date, indicates completion of the closing of a purchase of the Underwritten Notes from the Trust. Furthermore, in the event that the Underwriters make a Payment to the Trust prior to the completion of the closing of a purchase of Underwritten Notes, the Depositor hereby acknowledges that until the Representative executes and delivers such receipt for the Underwritten Notes and until all Permitted Liens have been released prior to the cut-off time for DTC settlement on the Closing Date, the Trust will not be entitled to the Payment and the Depositor shall cause the Trust to return the Payment to the Underwriters as soon as practicable (by wire transfer of same-day funds) upon demand. In the event that the closing of a purchase of Underwritten Notes is not completed and the Payment is not returned by the Trust to the Underwriters on the same day the Payment was received by the Trust, the Depositor agrees to pay, or otherwise cause the Trust to pay, to the Underwriters in respect of each day the Payment is not returned by it, in same-day funds, interest on the amount of such Payment in an amount representing the Underwriters’ cost of financing as reasonably determined by the Representative.

(c) It is understood that the Representative or any Underwriter, individually, may (but shall not be obligated to) make Payment on behalf of any Underwriter or Underwriters for any of the Underwritten Notes to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters. No such Payment shall relieve such Underwriter or Underwriters from any of its or their obligations hereunder.

SECTION 4. Offering by Underwriters. Upon the authorization by the Representative of the release of the Underwritten Notes, the several Underwriters propose to offer the Underwritten Notes for sale upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Prospectus.

SECTION 5. Covenants of the Depositor and HCA. Each of the Depositor and HCA covenants and agrees with the Underwriters as set forth below.

(a) To file the Prospectus, properly completed, with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act no later than the second business day following the day it is first used. The Depositor will file with the Commission any Free Writing Prospectus delivered to investors in accordance with Section 6 as the Depositor is required to file under the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations, and will do so within the applicable period of time required under the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations (which for the avoidance of doubt shall be in the case of the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus and a Free Writing Prospectus that is Pre-pricing and Pricing Information no later than the second business day following the day it is first used). The Depositor or HCA will advise the Representative promptly of any such filing under the Securities Act.

(b) To furnish to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, as many copies of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Underwriters reasonably request. The Prospectus shall be furnished on or prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on or prior to the second business day preceding the Closing Date. All other documents shall be so furnished as soon as available and in such quantities as the Representative may reasonably request. The Depositor or HCA will pay the expenses of printing, reproducing and distributing to the Underwriters all such documents.

- 10 -

(c) To advise the Representative promptly, in writing, of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and to not effect any such amendment or supplement to which the Representative shall reasonably object; and to also advise the Representative promptly of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement and of any amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and of the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the Registration Statement and to use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible its lifting, if issued.

(d) To furnish the Underwriters with copies of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and each amendment or supplement and any Free Writing Prospectus, during the period when any Underwriter is required to deliver a Prospectus under the Securities Act, at the cost and expense of HCA, each in such quantities as the Representative may from time to time reasonably request (and subsequent to such period, to assist the Underwriters in obtaining sufficient additional copies of the Prospectus, at the cost and expense of the Underwriters requesting such additional copies); and if, at any time prior to the expiration of the Prospectus delivery period under the Securities Act, any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made when such Prospectus is delivered, not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary or desirable during such same period to amend or supplement the Prospectus, to notify the Representative and promptly prepare and file with the Commission (subject to the Representative’s prior review pursuant to Section 5(c)), at its own expense, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission, or an amendment which will effect such compliance. Upon the Representative’s request, the Depositor will prepare and furnish without charge to each Underwriter and to any dealer in securities as many written and electronic copies as the Representative may from time to time reasonably request of an amended Prospectus or a supplement to the Prospectus which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance. Neither the Underwriters’ consent to, nor the Underwriters’ distribution of any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof.

(e) The Depositor will arrange for the qualification of the Underwritten Notes for offering and sale in each jurisdiction as the Representative shall designate including, but not limited to, pursuant to applicable state securities (“Blue Sky”) laws of certain states of the United States of America or other U. S. jurisdictions so designated, and the Depositor shall maintain such qualifications in effect for so long as may be necessary in order to complete the placement of the Underwritten Notes; provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be obliged to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a securities dealer in any jurisdiction or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. The Depositor will promptly advise the Representative of the receipt by the Depositor of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Underwritten Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

- 20 -

(i) In a properly presented and argued case in a proceeding under Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U. S. C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in which HCA is the debtor, the bankruptcy court would not, under applicable federal bankruptcy law, apply the doctrine of substantive consolidation to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the Depositor with the assets and liabilities of HCA.

(ii) In a properly presented and argued case in a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, in which HCA is the debtor, the bankruptcy court would determine that, with respect to the sale of the Receivables from HCA to the Depositor, such sale was a “true sale.”

(iii) If HCA were to become a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, a federal bankruptcy court would hold that (A) the Receivables sold to the Depositor are not property of the estate of HCA under Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code and (B) the automatic stay arising pursuant to Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code would not operate to stay payments by HCA of collections on the Receivables in accordance with the Transaction Agreements.

Such opinion may contain such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as are usual and customary in opinions of this type and are reasonably acceptable to counsel to the Underwriters. In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that they express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal law of the United States of America, the laws of the State of California, and the laws of the State of New York.

(h) The Underwriters shall have received a letter of [Xxxxx Xxxxx LLP], counsel to the Depositor, HCA and the Trust, addressed to the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and counsel to the Underwriters, to the effect that such counsel has reviewed the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of HCA and the Depositor, representatives of the independent public accountants for HCA and the Depositor and your representatives and counsel, at which the contents of the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and related matters were discussed and, although such counsel does not establish or confirm factual matters set forth in the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and has not undertaken any obligation to verify independently any of the factual matters set forth in the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and although many of the determinations required to be made in the preparation of the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus involve matters of a non-legal nature, such counsel confirms that, on the basis of the information gained in the course of performing these services, nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that the Registration Statement, at the Effective Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Time of Sale Information, as of the Applicable Date, considered together with the statements in the Prospectus with respect to blanks related to pricing and price-dependent information in the Time of Sale Information, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or that the Prospectus, as of its date or as of the Closing Date, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that such counsel does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except, to the extent set forth in paragraph [II.I] of such counsel’s opinion, to be delivered on the Closing Date, with respect to certain corporate matters); provided, further, that such letter need not address any Road Show Materials included in the Time of Sale Information.

- 21 -

Such letter may provide that it is being furnished only to the Underwriters, is solely for their benefit as Underwriters of the Underwritten Notes, and is not to be used, quoted, relied upon or otherwise referred to by any other person (including any direct or indirect purchaser or owner of any of the Underwritten Notes, or any other person claiming by or through any such purchaser or owner, for any purpose or in any circumstance) or for any other purpose without such counsel’s prior written consent.

(i) [Xxxxx Xxxxx LLP], in its capacity as counsel for HCA and the Depositor, shall have delivered one or more opinions satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representative, subject to certain considerations set forth therein, substantially to the effect that

(i) The provisions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement are effective under the UCC as in effect in the State of New York (the “New York UCC”) to create in favor of the Depositor a security interest in HCA’s rights in the collateral described in Section 2.01(a) or Section 2.01(d), as applicable, of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “RPA Assets”) and in any identifiable proceeds thereof (collectively, the “HCA Collateral”). (Such counsel notes that a “security interest” as defined in Section 1-201(b)(35) of the New York UCC includes the interests of a buyer of accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles and promissory notes and such counsel references their other opinion dated the Closing Date with respect to whether the security interest of the Depositor should be characterized as an ownership interest or solely as a collateral interest held to secure a loan made to HCA).

- 22 -

(ii) The provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement are effective under the New York UCC to create in favor of the Trust a security interest in the Depositor’s rights in the collateral described in Section 2.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement (the “SSA Assets”) and in any identifiable proceeds thereof (the “Depositor Collateral”). (Such counsel notes that a “security interest” as defined in Section 1-201(b)(35) of the New York UCC includes the interests of a buyer of accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles and promissory notes and such counsel expresses no opinion as to whether the security interest of the Trust would be characterized as an ownership interest or solely as a collateral interest held to secure a loan made to the Depositor).

(iii) The provisions of the Indenture are effective under the New York UCC to create in favor of the Indenture Trustee a security interest in the Trust’s rights in that portion of the collateral described in the granting clause of the Indenture (the “Indenture Collateral”) and in any identifiable proceeds thereof. Such counsel expresses no opinion as to whether the security interest of the Indenture Trustee would be characterized as an ownership interest or solely as a collateral interest held to secure a loan made to the Depositor.

(iv) Under the New York UCC (including the choice of laws provisions thereof) while a debtor is “located” in a jurisdiction the local law of that jurisdiction governs the perfection by the filing of a financing statement of a security interest in personal property that is accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles or instruments. Under the New York UCC (including the choice of laws provisions thereof):

(1)

HCA is “located” in California and the local law of that state governs perfection by the filing of financing statements of a nonpossessory security interest in HCA’s rights in the HCA Collateral by the filing of financing statements.

(2)

The Depositor is “located” in Delaware and the local law of that state governs perfection of a nonpossessory security interest in Depositor’s rights in the Depositor Collateral by the filing of financing statements.

(3)

The Trust is “located” in Delaware and the local law of that state governs perfection of a nonpossessory security interest in the Trust’s rights in the Indenture Collateral by the filing of financing statements.

(v) When the HCA Financing Statement is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the UCC as in effect in the State of California (the “California UCC”)) in the California filing office specified in such opinion (the “California Search Office”), under the provisions of the California UCC, the Depositor’s security interest in the HCA Collateral, and in identifiable cash proceeds thereof, will be perfected.

- 23 -

(vi) When the Depositor Financing Statement is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Delaware (the “Delaware UCC”)) in the Delaware filing office specified in such opinion (the “Delaware Search Office”), under the provisions of the Delaware UCC, the Trust’s security interest in the Depositor Collateral will be perfected.

(vii) When the Issuer Financing Statement is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the Delaware UCC in the Delaware Search Office), under the provisions of the Delaware UCC, the Trust’s security interest in the Indenture Collateral will be perfected.

Under the New York UCC, except as provided in the next sentence, the local law of each of HCA’s, the Depositor’s or the Trust’s (each, a “Transferring Party”), as applicable, location (as set forth in clause (iv) above) will govern the perfection and the priority of a nonpossessory security interest in such Transferring Party’s rights in the HCA Collateral, the Depositor Collateral or Indenture Collateral, as applicable that is perfected by the filing of a financing statement. To the extent that any of the HCA Collateral, the Depositor Collateral or Indenture Collateral is or becomes evidenced by instruments, tangible chattel paper or any other property in which a security interest may be perfected by taking possession, the local law of the jurisdiction where such property is located will govern, the effect of perfection or nonperfection, and the priority of both a possessory and a nonpossessory security interest in such property.

(viii) The Search Reports were requested using the names of each Transferring Party. Such counsel has reviewed the Search Reports (as defined in such opinion and each as of the dates set forth therein) and, except for the financing statements naming specified parties as the secured parties, such Search Reports identify no secured party who has filed with the Search Offices a financing statement naming a Transferring Party as a debtor or seller and indicating the HCA Collateral, the Seller Collateral or the Collateral, as applicable, as collateral. Accordingly,

(1)

under Article 9 of the applicable UCC and based solely on such counsel’s review of the Search Reports, upon the filing of the HCA Financing Statement in the California Search Office, the Depositor’s perfected security interest in the HCA Collateral will be prior to any other security interest granted by HCA that is perfected solely by the filing of financing statements in the State of California or the California Search Office;

(2)

under Article 9 of the applicable UCC and based solely on such counsel’s review of the Search Reports, upon the filing of the Depositor Financing Statement in the Delaware Search Office, the Trust’s perfected security interest in the Depositor Collateral will be prior to any other security interest granted by the Depositor that is perfected solely by the filing of financing statements in the State of Delaware or the Delaware Search Office; and

(3)

under Article 9 of the applicable UCC and based solely on such counsel’s review of the Search Reports, assuming the Indenture Trustee’s security interest is perfected by the filing in the Delaware Search Office of a properly prepared financing statement (as to which we express no opinion), such perfected security interest in the Indenture Collateral will be prior to any other security interest granted by the Trust that is perfected solely by the filing of financing statements in the State of Delaware or the Delaware Search Office.

- 24 -

(ix) Pursuant to (a) Sections 9-301 through 9-307 of the NY UCC and Section 9-705(c) of the UCC in effect as of the Closing Date in each Transferring Party’s “location” as set forth in paragraph D above, the Search Offices constitute all of the filing offices in which searches must be made of financing statements naming the applicable Transferring Party as debtor or seller to determine whether a security interest in the HCA Collateral, Depositor Collateral or Indenture Collateral, as applicable, has been perfected by filing.

(x) Pursuant to Section 9-305(a)(3) of the New York UCC, the local law of a securities intermediary’s jurisdiction governs perfection of a security interest by a method other than the filing of a financing statement in a securities account maintained by such securities intermediary and the security entitlements to financial assets credited thereto. With respect to the Reserve Account maintained with the Securities Intermediary pursuant to the Control Agreement, when the Securities Intermediary indicates by book entry that a financial asset has been credited to the Reserve Account, a security entitlement will exist with respect to such financial asset. Assuming that (a) the State of New York is the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction for purposes of the applicable UCC, (b) the Reserve Account is a securities account maintained by the Securities Intermediary for the Indenture Trustee, and (c) the Securities Intermediary has agreed to treat the Indenture Trustee as the sole person entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial assets credited to the Reserve Account, the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Trust’s rights in the Reserve Account and in security entitlements to financial assets credited thereto, is perfected by “control” within the meaning of Section 9-106 of the New York UCC. Such security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Reserve Account and the security entitlements to financial assets carried in the Reserve Account is prior to any other security interest therein under the New York UCC that is perfected by a method other than “control”.

(vii) Under § 3805(c) of the Statutory Trust Act, the Trust is a separate legal entity and, assuming that the Sale and Servicing Agreement conveys good title to the Trust property to the Trust as a true sale and not as a security arrangement, the Trust rather than the holders of the Certificates will hold whatever title to the Trust property as may be conveyed to it from time to time pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, except to the extent that the Trust has taken action to dispose of or otherwise transfer or encumber any part of the Trust property.

SECTION 9. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the sole discretion of the Representative by notice to the Depositor given on or prior to the Closing Date in the event that either the Depositor or HCA shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto or, if at or prior to the Closing Date, (a) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially limited or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established by or on, as the case may be, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the New York Stock Exchange; (b) trading of any securities of HCA or the Depositor shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (c) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by either federal or New York State authorities; (d) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or with respect to Clearstream or Euroclear systems in Europe and, in the sole judgment of the Representative, the effect of any such disruption makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Underwritten Notes as contemplated by the Prospectus, as amended as of the date hereof; (e) there shall have occurred (i) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power, (ii) an outbreak or escalation of any other insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States, or (iii) any other calamity or crisis or materially adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions having an effect on the U.

Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except for the liability of HCA in relation to expenses as provided in Section 7 hereof, the indemnity provided in Section 10 hereof and any liability arising before or in relation to such termination.

SECTION 10. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Depositor and HCA shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter or such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, to the extent such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:

- 31 -

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made by the Depositor or HCA in Section 2 hereof,

(ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated in the Registration Statement, the Issuer Information, the Road Show Material or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Form ABS-15G (taken as a whole, together with the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus) furnished to the Commission on XXXXX with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or

(iii) with respect to the Registration Statement, the Issuer Information, the Road Show Material or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Form ABS-15G (taken as a whole, together with the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus) furnished to the Commission on XXXXX with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading,

and will reimburse, as incurred, each such indemnified party for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Depositor and HCA will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Issuer Information, the Road Show Material or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information; provided, further, that the Depositor and HCA shall not be liable to any Underwriter or any of the directors, officers, employees and agents of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, with respect to any loss, claim, damage or liability that results from the fact that the Underwriter sold Underwritten Notes to a person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, if delivery thereof was required, a copy of the Prospectus or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented, whichever is most recent, if the Depositor has previously furnished copies thereof to such Underwriter within a reasonable time period prior to such confirmation; provided, further, that the foregoing indemnity with respect to the Issuer Information shall not inure to the benefit of an Underwriter (or to the benefit of the person controlling such Underwriter) from whom the person asserting any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses purchased the Underwritten Notes if such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in such Issuer Information is eliminated or remedied in a Corrected Prospectus delivered to such Underwriter prior to the Time of Sale of such Underwritten Notes to such person and a copy of the Corrected Prospectus shall not have been furnished to such person at or prior to such Time of Sale; provided, further, that such Underwriter shall have been given a reasonable amount of time to deliver such Corrected Prospectus to such person. The indemnity provided for in this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Depositor and HCA may otherwise have.

- 32 -

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Depositor and HCA, each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor or HCA within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Depositor, HCA or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (B) the omission or the alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information and will reimburse, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Depositor, HCA or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or any action in respect thereof. The remedies provided for in this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10, such person (for purposes of this paragraph (c), the “indemnified party”) shall, promptly after receipt by such party of notice of the commencement of such action, notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (for purposes of this paragraph (c), the “indemnifying party”), but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 10. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (which may be counsel to such indemnifying party if otherwise reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party); provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of any such action and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, designated in writing by the Representative in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 10, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who are parties to such action or actions), (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party, (iii) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or (iv) the indemnifying party has elected to assume the defense of such proceeding but has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified parties. All fees and expenses reimbursed pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. After such notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the consent of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

- 33 -

(d) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 10 is unavailable or insufficient, for any reason, to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), each indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the offering of Underwritten Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Depositor and HCA on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering of the Underwritten Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Depositor and HCA (including for such purpose, the value of the Certificates) bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Spread”) as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Depositor, HCA or the Underwriters, the parties’ relative intents, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The Depositor, HCA and the Underwriters agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this paragraph (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), no Underwriter shall be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the amount by which the Spread received by it in the initial offering of such Underwritten Notes, exceeds the aggregate amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay in respect of the same or any substantially similar claim, and no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 (f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute hereunder are several in proportion to their respective principal amount of Underwritten Notes they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Depositor and HCA, each officer of the Depositor and HCA and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor and HCA within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Depositor and HCA.

- 34 -

SECTION 11. Defaults by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriter(s) fail(s) to purchase and pay for any of the Underwritten Notes agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter(s) hereunder, and such failure constitutes a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriter(s) shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions that the amount of Underwritten Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate amount of Underwritten Notes set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriter(s)) the Underwritten Notes that the defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Underwritten Notes that the defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed to purchase exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten Notes, the remaining Underwriter(s) shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Underwritten Notes, and if such non-defaulting Underwriter(s) do not purchase all the Underwritten Notes, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this paragraph, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the remaining Underwriter(s) shall determine in order that the required changes in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter(s) of any liability to the Depositor, HCA, their Affiliates and any non-defaulting Underwriter(s) for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

SECTION 12. Survival of Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement or contained in certificates of officers submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or statement as to the results thereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Underwritten Notes. If for any reason the purchase of the Underwritten Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated, each of the Depositor and HCA shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to Section 7 and the obligations pursuant to Section 10 shall remain in effect. If for any reason the purchase of the Underwritten Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated (other than (i) as a result of any Underwriters’ breach under Section 6 of this Agreement or (ii) pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement), the Depositor and HCA will reimburse the Underwriters severally, upon demand, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by any Underwriter in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Notes.
