ARTICLE III
SERIES 1999-1 ALLOCATIONS
With respect to the Series 1999-1 Notes only, the following shall apply:
Section 3.1 Establishment of Series 1999-1 Collection Account, Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account and Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account.
(a) All Collections allocable to the Series 1999-1 Notes shall be allocated to the Collection Account.
(b) The Trustee will also create or establish as segregated trust accounts, in each case for the benefit of the Series 1999-1 Noteholder, the Series 1999-1 Collection Account (such account, the “Series 1999-1 Collection Account”), the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account (such account, the “Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account”) and the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account (such account, the “Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account”). If the Trustee establishes the Series 1999-1 Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account and/or the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account as segregated trust accounts, the Series 1999-1 Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account and/or the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account, as the case may be, shall be established and maintained by the Trustee as segregated trust accounts in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 1999-1 Noteholder. Each such account shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution or (ii) as a segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee for funds deposited in such account; provided, that, if such account is not a segregated trust account and is maintained with a Qualified Institution and at any time such Qualified Institution fails to satisfy the definition of Qualified Institution, then the Trustee shall, within 10 days of such reduction, establish a new segregated trust account with a new Qualified Institution or a new segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers and
12
acting as trustee for funds deposited in such account. If a new Series 1999-1 Collection Account, Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account or Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account is established pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall transfer all cash and investments from the previously existing non-qualifying account into the newly established account. Initially, each of the Series 1999-1 Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account and the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account will be established as a segregated trust account with The Bank of New York. The Issuer shall instruct the institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account and/or the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account, as the case may be, to invest funds on deposit in each such account at all times in Permitted Investments selected by the Issuer (by standing instructions or otherwise); provided, however, that investments of amounts allocated to the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account shall mature no later than the Business Day following the date on which such funds were invested and investments of all other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account or the Series 1999-1 Collection Account shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date following the date on which such funds were so invested, except for any Permitted Investment held in the Collection Account which is in an investment made by the Trustee, in which event such investment may mature on such Distribution Date so long as such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to such Distribution Date. All such Permitted Investments will be credited to the related segregated trust account and any such Permitted Investments that constitute (i) Physical Property (and that is not a United States Security Entitlement or Security Entitlement) or Uncertificated Securities (and that is not a United States Security Entitlement or Security Entitlement) shall be delivered to the Trustee in accordance with the definition of “Delivery” and shall be held by the Trustee pending maturity or disposition and (ii) United States Security Entitlements or Security Entitlements shall be Controlled by the Trustee pending maturity or disposition. The Trustee shall, at the expense of the Issuer, take such action as is requested of it to maintain the Trustee’s security interest in the Permitted Investments credited to the Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrual Interest Account and/or the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account, as the case may be. In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account and/or the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account, as the case may be, shall remain uninvested. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of the purchase price of such Permitted Investment.
(c) Earnings from the Series 1999-1 Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account and the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account. All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in each of the Series 1999-1 Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account and the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account shall be deemed to be on deposit therein and available for distribution.
13
(d) Series 1999-1 Collection Account, Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account and Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account Constitute Additional Collateral for Series 1999-1 Notes. In order to secure and provide for the repayment and payment of the amounts owing by the Issuer hereunder, with respect to each of the Series 1999-1 Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account and/or the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account which is established as a segregated trust account, the Issuer hereby grants a security interest in and assigns, pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 1999-1 Noteholders, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to the following (whether now or hereafter existing or acquired): (i) the Series 1999-1 Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account and the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account, including any security entitlement thereto; (ii) all funds on deposit in, as the case may be, each of the Series 1999-1 Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account and the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account from time to time; (iii) all certificates and instruments, if any, representing or evidencing any or all of the Series 1999-1 Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account or the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account, as the case may be, or the funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iv) all investments made at any time and from time to time with monies in the Series 1999-1 Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account or the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account, as the case may be, whether constituting securities, instruments, general intangibles, investment property, financial assets or other property; (v) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for the Series 1999-1 Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account or the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account, as the case may be, the funds on deposit therein from time to time or the investments made with such funds; and (vi) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, including, without limitation, cash (the items in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) are referred to, collectively, as the “Series 1999-1 Additional Account Collateral”). If any of the Series 1999-1 Collection Account, the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account or the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account is a segregated trust account, the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 1999-1 Noteholders, shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in such trust account and in all proceeds thereof, and shall be the only person authorized to originate entitlement orders in respect of each such account. The Series 1999-1 Additional Account Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 1999-1 Noteholders. The Issuer hereby authorizes the Trustee, and appoints the Trustee as its agent and attorney in fact, to file any such financing statement or continuation statement in order to perfect or maintain the first-priority Lien created by this Indenture in the Collateral, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to so file.
Section 3.2 Allocations with Respect to the Series 1999-1 Notes. The proceeds from the issuance of the Series 1999-1 Notes will be deposited into the Collection Account. On the Series 1999-1 Closing Date and each Business Day on which proceeds from any Increase or Collections are deposited into the Collection Account (each such date, a “Series 1999-1 Deposit Date”), the Servicer will direct the Trustee in
14
writing to allocate all amounts deposited into the Collection Account in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2:
(a) Allocations of Collections During the Series 1999-1 Revolving Period. During the Series 1999-1 Revolving Period, the Servicer will direct the Trustee in writing to allocate, prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) on each Series 1999-1 Deposit Date, all amounts deposited into the Collection Account as set forth below:
(i) allocate to the Series 1999-1 Collection Account an amount equal to the Series 1999-1 Invested Percentage (as of such day) of the aggregate amount of Interest Collections on such day. All such amounts allocated to the Series 1999-1 Collection Account shall be further allocated to the Series 1999-1 Accrued Interest Account; and
(ii) allocate to the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Series 1999-1 Invested Percentage (as of such day) of the aggregate amount of Principal Collections on such day (for any such day, the “Series 1999-1 Principal Allocation”) plus (B) the proceeds from the issuance of the Series 1999-1 Notes and from any Increase, which amounts may be applied to make a Decrease in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 3.4(b).
(b) Allocations of Collections During the Series 1999-1 Rapid Amortization Period. With respect to the Series 1999-1 Rapid Amortization Period, the Servicer will direct the Trustee in writing to allocate, prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) on any Series 1999-1 Deposit Date, all amounts deposited into the Collection Account as set forth below:

(c) Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account. Amounts allocated to the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account on any Series 1999-1 Deposit Date will be first, used to pay the ARG Mandatory Prepayment Amount pursuant to Section 3.4(c) of this Series Supplement, second, used to pay the principal amount of any other Series of Notes that are then required to be paid under the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Series Supplement relating to such Series of Notes, third, used, at the option of the Issuer, to make a Decrease in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 3.4(b) of this Series Supplement, fourth, at the option of the Issuer, released to the Issuer and used by the Issuer to refinance Eligible Receivables or to acquire or refinance Eligible Vehicles hereunder or for any other purpose, in each case, only to the extent that no Series 1999-1 Enhancement

Prior to refinancing Eligible Receivables with funds released from the Series 1999-1 Excess Collection Account, the Issuer shall prepare or cause to be prepared a Refinanced Vehicle Schedule concerning such Eligible Receivables and deliver or cause to be delivered such Refinanced Vehicle Schedule to the Master Collateral Agent and the Trustee.
