SECTION 2.10.            Covenants of the Certificateholder

The Certificateholder agrees:

(a)        to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Certificate of which the Holder is the beneficial owner and of this Agreement, including any supplements or amendments hereto and to perform the obligations of a Holder as set forth therein or herein, in all respects as if it were a signatory hereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust and the Owner Trustee; and

7

(b)        except as expressly provided in Sections 4.5 and 10.13, not to, for any reason, take any Bankruptcy Action.

SECTION 2.11.            Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Trust.

(a)        For so long as the Trust has a single owner for federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 7701 of the Code, it will be disregarded as an entity distinct from the Certificateholder for all federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, for federal income tax purposes, the Certificateholder will be treated as (i) owning all assets owned by the Trust and (ii) having incurred all liabilities incurred by the Trust, and all transactions between the Trust and the Certificateholder will be disregarded. The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Trust will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the Trust as provided in the preceding sentence for such tax purposes.

(b)        Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Certificateholder will make an election on IRS Form 8832 or otherwise to classify the Trust as an association taxable as a corporation for federal, State, or any other applicable tax purpose.

(c)        In the event that the Trust has two or more owners for federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 7701 of the Code, it will be treated as a partnership. At any such time that the Trust has two or more equity owners, this Agreement will be amended, in accordance with Section 10.1 herein, and appropriate provisions will be added so as to provide for treatment of the Trust as a partnership.

(d)        In the event that the Trust is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, (i) the Depositor (or if the Depositor is no longer a Certificateholder, the Majority Certificateholder) is hereby designated as the “partnership representative” under Section 6223(a) of the Code and (ii) the partnership representative will or will cause the Trust, to the extent eligible, to make the election under Section 6221(b) of the Code with respect to determinations of adjustments at the partnership level and take any other action (such as disclosures and notifications) necessary or appropriate to effectuate such election. If the election described in the preceding sentence is not available, to the extent applicable, the partnership representative will or will cause the Trust to make the election under Section 6226(a) of the Code with respect to the alternative to payment of imputed underpayment by a partnership and take any other action such as filings, disclosures and notifications necessary or appropriate to effectuate such election. The partnership representative is authorized, in its sole discretion, to make any available election with respect to the BBA Partnership Audit Rules and take any action it deems necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of the Code and to conduct the Trust’s affairs with respect to the BBA Partnership Audit Rules. Each Certificateholder and, if different, each beneficial owner of a Certificate, shall promptly provide the partnership representative any requested information, documentation or material to enable the partnership representative to make any of the elections described in this clause (d) and otherwise comply with the BBA Partnership Audit Rules. The provisions of this Section 2.11(d) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. In addition, should the Trust be classified as a partnership, the partnership representative, may, in its sole discretion, cause the Trust to make an election under Section 754 of the Code.

Article III.

Certificate and Transfer of Interest

SECTION 3.1.            Initial Ownership

Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.5 and until the issuance of the Certificate to the initial Certificateholder, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust.

SECTION 3.2.            The Certificate

The Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee. A Certificate bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificate. A transferee of a Certificate shall become a Certificateholder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder, upon due registration of such Certificate in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.4.

SECTION 3.3.            Authentication of Certificate

Concurrently with the sale of the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board, its president or any vice president, its treasurer or any assistant treasurer without further corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Trustee’s authentication agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

SECTION 3.4.            Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificate

The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.7, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, including, without limitation, requiring any potential transferee to represent to the Certificate Registrar such transferee’s compliance with the transfer restrictions set forth herein, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of the Certificate and of transfers and exchanges of the Certificate as herein provided. The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the transferee’s representation that the transferee has complied with the transfer restrictions set forth herein. Wilmington Trust Company shall be the initial Certificate Registrar.

9

The Certificate Registrar shall provide the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee with the name and address of the Certificateholder (if other than the Depositor) on the Closing Date. Upon any transfers of the Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee of the name and address of the transferee in writing, by facsimile, on the day of such transfer. The Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall be entitled to fully rely on the most recently provided Certificateholder information with no liability therefor.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of the Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.7, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee, a new Certificate dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent.

A Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange may, but need not, be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, (i) with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Certificate Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Certificate Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by IRS Form W-9, or such other form as may be reasonably required in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, as applicable, and such other documentation as may be reasonably required by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in order to comply with Applicable Anti-Money-Laundering Law, each in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, duly executed by the Certificateholder or such person’s attorney duly authorized in writing. No transfer will be effectuated hereunder unless the Owner Trustee has received the transfer documentation required hereunder. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Owner Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.

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

No Certificate may be held or beneficially owned by any Person that is not a United States person as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. By accepting and holding its beneficial ownership interest in its Certificate, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is a United States person as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no sale or transfer of a Certificate shall be permitted (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation), and no such sale or transfer shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar to be effective hereunder, if the sale or transfer thereof increases the number of Certificateholders to more than ninety-five (95). For purposes of determining the total number of Certificateholders, a beneficial owner of an interest in a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation for federal income tax purposes (each a “Flow-Through

10

Entity”) that, directly or through other Flow-Through Entities, owns a Certificate is treated as a holder of a Certificate if (i) substantially all of the value of the beneficial owner’s interest (directly or indirectly) in the Flow-Through Entity is attributed to the Flow-Through Entity’s interest in the Certificate and (ii) a principal purpose of the use of the Flow-Through Entity to hold the Certificate is to satisfy the 95 holder limitation set out above. If using a Flow-Through Entity to acquire a Certificate, the Certificateholder shall be deemed to have represented that it is not using the Flow-Through Entity in order to avoid the 95 holder limitation set out above. In addition, no sale or transfer of a Certificate shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar or made effective hereunder unless, as evidenced by a written representation and covenant by the transferee in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar (upon which representation and covenant the Certificate Registrar may conclusively rely without independent investigation), no member of the transferee’s expanded group as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4) (including through a controlled partnership as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(1)) is or will become the beneficial owner of a Note. If a Certificateholder or a member of its expanded group becomes the beneficial owner of a Note, the Depositor is authorized at its discretion to compel such Certificateholder to sell its Certificate to a Person whose ownership complies with this paragraph so long as such sale does not otherwise cause a material adverse effect on the Trust.

SECTION 3.5.            Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates

If (a) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee, such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee, or the Certificate Registrar, as the Owner Trustee’s authenticating agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 3.6.            Persons Deemed Certificateholders

Every Person by virtue of becoming a Certificateholder in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Prior to due presentation of the Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.7.            Maintenance of Office or Agency

11

The Owner Trustee shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where the Certificate may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Certificate and the Basic Documents may be served.    The Owner Trustee initially designates the Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and the Certificateholder of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

SECTION 3.8.            Disposition in Whole But Not in Part

The Certificate may be transferred in whole but not in part. Any attempted transfer of the Certificate that would divide the ownership of the Owner Trust Estate shall be void. The Owner Trustee shall cause any Certificate issued to contain a legend stating “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT UNDER THE LIMITED CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT.”.

SECTION 3.9.            ERISA Restrictions

The Certificate may not be acquired by or for the account of (a) an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a “plan” (within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (c) any entity whose underlying assets include assets of an employee benefit plan or a plan described in (a) or (b) above by reason of such employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in the entity (collectively, a “Benefit Plan Investor”), or (d) an employee benefit plan, a plan or other similar arrangement that is not a Benefit Plan Investor but is subject to federal, State, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each of (a) – (d), a “Benefit Plan Entity”). By accepting and holding its beneficial ownership interest in its Certificate, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan Entity.

SECTION 3.10.            Appointment of Certificate Paying Agent

The Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Certificateholder from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Article VIII and Article XI hereof and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee. Any Certificate Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Owner Trustee shall revoke such power and remove the Certificate Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee or the Depositor by written direction to the Owner Trustee determines, each in its sole discretion that the Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. The Certificate Paying Agent initially shall be Wilmington Trust Company, and any co-paying agent chosen by Wilmington Trust Company and the Depositor. Wilmington Trust Company shall be permitted to resign as Certificate Paying Agent upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor. In the event that Wilmington Trust Company shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent, the Depositor, with the consent of the Owner Trustee, shall appoint a successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent

12

appointed hereunder to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that, as Certificate Paying Agent, such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholder in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholder entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to the Certificateholder. The Certificate Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Certificate Paying Agent such Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The provisions of Articles VI and VII shall apply to the Owner Trustee also in its role as Certificate Paying Agent, for so long as the Owner Trustee shall act as Certificate Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

The Owner Trustee shall take the actions referred to in the preceding sentence only upon written instructions signed by the Certificateholder and the furnishing of indemnification satisfactory to the Owner Trustee by the Certificateholder.

SECTION 4.3.            Restrictions on Certificateholder’s Power.

(a)        The Certificateholder shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action if such action or inaction would be contrary to any obligation of the Trust or the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.3 nor shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction, if given.

(b)        The Certificateholder shall not have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action, or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement or any Basic Document, unless the Certificateholder previously shall have given to the Owner Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as provided in this Agreement, and also unless the Certificateholder shall have made written request upon the Owner Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Owner Trustee under this Agreement and shall have offered to the Owner Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Owner Trustee, for thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice, request, and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit, or proceeding, and during such thirty (30) day period no request or waiver inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Owner Trustee pursuant to and in compliance with this Section or Section 5.3. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, the Certificateholder and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

SECTION 4.4.            [Reserved]

14

the Trust), shall consider the interest of the Noteholders in addition to the interests of the Trust and whether the Trust is insolvent; provided, however, that the Owner Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Noteholders. The Owner Trustee shall have no duty to give such written consent to a Bankruptcy Action by the Trust if the Owner Trustee shall not have been furnished (at the expense of the Trust or the Person that requested that such letter be furnished to the Owner Trustee) with a letter from an independent accounting firm of national reputation stating that in the opinion of such firm the Trust is then insolvent. The Owner Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity) shall not be personally liable to any Person on account of the Owner Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Section or in connection with the Owner Trustee’s giving prior written consent to a Bankruptcy Action by the Trust in accordance herewith, or withholding such consent, in good faith, and neither the Trust nor the Certificateholder shall have any claim for breach of fiduciary duty or otherwise against the Owner Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity) for giving or withholding its consent to any such Bankruptcy Action.

(b)        At the written direction of the Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust any applicable tax returns of the Trust, unless applicable law requires the Certificateholder to sign such documents.

SECTION 5.2.            General Duties

It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Holder, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Basic Documents to the extent the Servicer has agreed in the Sale and Servicing Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Trust or the Owner Trustee hereunder or under any Basic Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or failure of the Servicer to carry out its obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 5.3.            Action upon Instruction.

(a)        Subject to Article IV, the Certificateholder shall have the exclusive right to direct the actions of the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust, so long as such instructions are

17

not inconsistent with the express terms set forth herein or in any Basic Document. The Certificateholder shall not instruct the Owner Trustee in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents.

(b)        The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any Basic Document or is otherwise contrary to law.

(c)        Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholder requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Certificateholder received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten (10) days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholder, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

(d)        In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholder requesting instruction and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such action or inaction, to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten (10) days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholder, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

SECTION 5.4.            No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions

The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Owner Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3; and no implied duties (including fiduciary duties) or obligations existing at law or in equity shall be read into this Agreement or any Basic Document against the Owner

18

Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any trust licensing or qualifications to do business, tax filing, financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any ownership or security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any Commission filing (including any filings required pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder) for the Trust or to record this Agreement or any Basic Document. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any Liens on any part of the Owner Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee (solely in its individual capacity) and that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Owner Trust Estate.

SECTION 5.5.            No Action Except under Specified Documents or Instructions

SECTION 5.6.            Restrictions

The Owner Trustee shall not take any action (a) that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.3 of this Agreement, or (b) that, to the actual knowledge of the Owner Trustee, would result in the Trust’s becoming taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. The Certificateholder shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 5.7.            Covenants for Reporting of Repurchase Demands due to Breaches of Representations and Warranties

SECTION 6.8.            Payments from Owner Trust Estate

All payments to be made by the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents to which the Trust or the Owner Trustee is a party shall be made only from the income and proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate and only to the extent that the Owner Trustee shall have received income or proceeds from the Owner Trust Estate to make such payments in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 6.11.            Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s Customer Due Diligence

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the Customer Identification Program requirements established under the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Title III of Pub. L. 107 56 and its implementing regulations (together, the “USA PATRIOT Act”), the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s Customer Due Diligence Requirements (the “FinCEN Due Diligence Requirements”) and such other laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions (collectively, with the USA PATRIOT Act and FinCEN Due Diligence Requirements, the “Applicable Anti-Money Laundering Law”), requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Person who opens an account. Accordingly, in order to comply with Applicable Anti-Money-Laundering Law, the Owner Trustee will request on or before the Closing Date and from time to time thereafter reasonable documentation to verify and record information that identifies each Person who opens an account. For a non-individual Person, such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other “legal entity customer” (as defined in the FinCEN Due Diligence Requirements), the Owner Trustee may request and shall be entitled to receive from such Person reasonable documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity, financial statements, licenses, tax identification documents, and identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation and information (including beneficial owners of such entities) (collectively, the “Owner Trustee Due Diligence Documents”). Failure by a Person who opens an account to provide such Owner Trustee Due Diligence Documents may result in an inability of the Owner Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder which, at the sole option of the Owner Trustee, may result in the immediate resignation of the Owner Trustee pursuant to, and subject to the requirements of Section 9.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Person who opens an account is not a legal entity customer (as defined in the FinCEN Due Diligence Requirements), in the determination of the Owner Trustee (in the Owner Trustee’s reasonable discretion), such Person shall not be required to provide to the Owner Trustee the Owner Trustee Due Diligence Documents, and any such requirement to provide such information shall be deemed satisfied.

SECTION 6.12.            Beneficial Ownership and Control of the Trust

The parties hereto agree that for purposes of the Applicable Anti-Money-Laundering Laws (a) the Certificateholders are and shall be deemed to be the sole beneficial owners of the Trust and (b) the Certificateholders and the Administrator are, and shall deemed to be, the parties with the power and authority to control the Trust.

The indemnities contained in this Section and the rights under Section 7.1 shall survive the resignation or termination of the Owner Trustee or the termination of this Agreement. In any event of any claim, action or proceeding for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this Section, the Owner Trustee’s choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Depositor which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

SECTION 7.3.            Payments to the Owner Trustee

SECTION 8.1.            Termination of Trust Agreement.

(a)        The Trust shall dissolve in accordance with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute upon the maturity or other liquidation of the last Receivable (including the purchase by the Servicer at its option or by the Seller at its option of the corpus of the Trust as described in Section 10.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) and the subsequent distribution of amounts in respect of such Receivables as provided in the Basic Documents; provided, however, that the rights to indemnification under Section 7.2 and the rights under Section 7.1 shall survive the dissolution of the Trust. The Seller or the Servicer shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee of any prospective dissolution pursuant to this Section. For the avoidance of doubt, except as described in Section 8.1(d), the Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for the dissolution, or winding-up, of the Trust. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of the Certificateholder, shall not (i) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor (ii) entitle the Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Trust or Owner Trust Estate nor (iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.

(b)        Neither the Depositor nor the Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate the Trust.

(c)        Notice of any termination of the Trust, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Certificateholder shall surrender the Certificate to the Owner Trustee for payment of the final distribution by the Certificate Paying Agent and cancellation, shall be given by the Servicer on behalf of the Owner Trustee by letter to the Certificateholder mailed within five (5) Business Days of receipt of notice of such termination from the Servicer given pursuant to Section 10.1(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, stating (i) the Distribution Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Certificate shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificate at the office of the Owner Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificate at the office of the Owner Trustee therein specified and (iv) interest will cease to accrue on the Certificate. The Servicer on behalf of the Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Trust Collateral Agent at the time such notice is given to the Certificateholder. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificate, the Certificate Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholder amounts distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

In the event that the Certificateholder shall not surrender the Certificate for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Servicer on behalf of the Owner Trustee shall give a second written notice to the Certificateholder to surrender the Certificate for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice the Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Owner Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the Certificateholder concerning surrender of its Certificate, and the cost thereof shall be

27

paid out of the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed, subject to applicable escheat laws, by the Owner Trustee to the Holder.

If such Person shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.2.

SECTION 9.2.            Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee

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

If at any time the Owner Trustee shall (a) cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, (b) be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or (c) be removed as Certificate Paying Agent pursuant to Section 3.10, then the Depositor may remove the Owner Trustee by sending written notice of such removal to the Owner Trustee. If the Depositor shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately

28

preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly (x) appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee, and (y) pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.3 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Depositor shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies. The Trust shall pay any costs and expenses associated with the replacement of the Owner Trustee. To the extent the Trust fails to pay any such costs or expenses before the Distribution Date following the replacement of the Owner Trustee, the Depositor shall pay such amount then outstanding.

SECTION 9.3.            Successor Owner Trustee

Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Depositor and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Servicer shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to the Certificateholder, the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Servicer shall fail to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.

SECTION 9.4.            Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee

Any Person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything

29

herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation or succession to the Depositor (who shall notify the Rating Agencies).

SECTION 9.5.            Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, the Owner Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 9.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.3.

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

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

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

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

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of

30

this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer.

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

(b)        To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement, but subject to the provisions of Section 4.5, the Owner Trustee shall not, prior to the date which is one (1) year and one (1) day after the termination of this Agreement, with respect to the Trust, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Trust to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining an involuntary case against the Trust under any federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Trust or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Trust.

SECTION 10.14.            Regulation AB. The Owner Trustee acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of this Section 10.14 is to facilitate compliance by the Trust with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission.

The Owner Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Servicer and the Trust to deliver to the Servicer and the Trust any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Servicer to permit the Servicer and the Trust to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Owner Trustee reasonably believed by the Servicer to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

Article XI.

Application of Trust Funds; Certain Duties

SECTION 11.1.            Establishment of Trust Accounts

(a)        The Owner Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholder, shall cause the Certificate Paying Agent to establish and maintain in the name of the Trust a distribution non-interest bearing account (the “Certificate Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholder. The Certificate Distribution Account shall be maintained as an Eligible Deposit Account; provided, however, that so long as (i) the long-term unsecured debt of the related depository institution shall have a credit rating of investment grade or better by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, and (ii) such depository institution’s deposits are insured by the FDIC, such account shall be deemed to be an Eligible Deposit Account.

(b)       The Trust shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholder. If, at any time, the

35

Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Certificate Paying Agent shall within ten (10) Business Days establish a new Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Certificate Distribution Account; provided, however, that so long as (i) the long-term unsecured debt of the related depository institution shall have a credit rating of investment grade or better by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, and (ii) such depository institution’s deposits are insured by the FDIC, such account shall be deemed to be an Eligible Deposit Account.

SECTION 11.2.            Application of Trust Funds

(a)      On each Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate Paying Agent to distribute amounts deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Distribution Date in the following order of priority:

(i)        to make payments to the Certificateholder, any remaining amount deposited therein; and

(ii)       to clear and terminate the Certificate Distribution Account upon the termination of this Agreement.

(b)      In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s payment (or allocations of income) to the Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder in accordance with this Section. The Owner Trustee or Certificate Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to the Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to the Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S. Certificateholder), the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph.

(c)      The Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent shall be fully protected in relying upon, and each Holder by its acceptance of the Certificate hereunder agrees to indemnify and hold the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent harmless against all claims or liability of any kind arising in connection with or related to the Owner Trustee’s and the Certificate Paying Agent’s reliance upon any documents, forms or information provided by any Holder to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent.

SECTION 11.3.            Method of Payment

Distributions required to be made to the Certificateholder on any Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of the Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if the Certificateholder shall have provided to the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Paying Agent appropriate written instructions at least five

36

(5) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date, or, if not, by check mailed to the Certificateholder at the address of the Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register.

THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE,

EXCEPT UNDER THE LIMITED CONDITIONS

SPECIFIED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT

ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in certain distributions of the Trust, as defined below, the property of which includes a pool of retail installment sale contracts secured by new or used automobiles, utility vehicles or light duty trucks and sold to the Trust by AFS SenSub Corp.

(This Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of AFS SenSub Corp. or any of its Affiliates, except to the extent described below.)

THIS CERTIFIES THAT AFS SenSub Corp. is the registered owner of a nonassessable, fully-paid, beneficial ownership interest in certain distributions of GM Financial Consumer Automobile Receivables Trust 2021-2 (the “Trust”) formed by AFS SenSub Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Seller”).

The Trust was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as ofMarch 3, 2021, as amended and restated as of April 14, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), between the Seller and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement.

This is the duly authorized Certificate designated as “Asset Backed Certificate” (herein called the “Certificate”). Also issued under the Indenture, dated as of April 14, 2021, among the Trust and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and trust collateral agent, are seven classes of Notes designated as “Class A-1 0.13738% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class A-1 Notes”), “Class A-2 0.27% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class A-2 Notes”), “Class A-3 0.51% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class A-3 Notes”), “Class A-4 0.82% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class A-4 Notes” and together with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes, the “Class A Notes”), “Class B 1.09% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class B Notes”), “Class C 1.28% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class C Notes”) and “Class D 0.00% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class D Notes” and collectively with the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes, the “Notes”). This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. The property of the Trust includes

a pool of retail installment sale contracts secured by new and used automobiles, utility vehicles or light duty trucks (the “Receivables”), all monies due thereunder on or after the Cutoff Date, security interests in the vehicles financed thereby, certain bank accounts and the proceeds thereof, proceeds from claims on certain insurance policies and certain other rights under the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 14, 2021, between GM Financial and the Seller and all proceeds of the foregoing.

The holder of this Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive distributions in respect of this Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders as described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, as applicable.

Distributions on this Certificate will be made as provided in the Trust Agreement or any Basic Document by wire transfer or check mailed to the Certificateholder without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Servicer on behalf of the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency maintained for the purpose by the Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

(Reverse of Certificate)

The Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or any Affiliates of any of them and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement, the Indenture or the Basic Documents. In addition, this Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections with respect to the Receivables, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. A copy of each of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Seller, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Seller, by the Certificateholder upon written request.

The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Seller under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Seller and the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Majority Noteholders and the Certificateholder. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholder.

As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained by the Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new Certificate evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is Wilmington Trust Company. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

This certificate may not be held or beneficially owned by any Person that is not a United States person as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

No sale or transfer of a Certificate shall be permitted (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation), and no such sale or transfer shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar or be effective hereunder, if the sale or transfer thereof increases to more than ninety-five (95) the sum of the number of Certificateholders. For purposes of determining the total number of Certificateholders, a beneficial owner of an interest in a partnership, grantor trust, S corporation or other flow-through entity that owns, directly or through other flow-through entities, a Certificate is treated as a holder of a Certificate if (i) substantially all of the value of the beneficial owner’s interest (directly or indirectly) in the flow-through entity is attributed to the flow-through entity’s interest in the Certificate and (ii) a principal purpose of the use of the flow-through entity to hold the Certificate is to satisfy the 95-holder limitation set out above. If using a flow-through

A-4

entity to acquire a Certificate, the Certificateholder shall be deemed to have represented that it is not using the flow-through entity in order to avoid the 95-holder limitation set out above. In addition, no sale or transfer of a Certificate shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar or made effective hereunder unless, as evidenced by a written representation and covenant by the transferee in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar (upon which representation and covenant the Certificate Registrar may conclusively rely without independent investigation), no member of the transferee’s expanded group as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4) (including through a controlled partnership as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(1)) is or will become the beneficial owner of a Note. If a Certificateholder or a member of its expanded group becomes the beneficial owner of a Note, the Depositor is authorized at its discretion to compel such Certificateholder to sell its Certificate to a Person whose ownership complies with this paragraph so long as such sale does not otherwise cause a material adverse effect on the Trust.

The Owner Trustee and any agent of the Owner Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to the Certificateholder of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust. The Seller or the Servicer of the Receivables may at its option purchase the corpus of the Trust at a price specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and such purchase of the Receivables and other property of the Trust will effect early retirement of the Certificate; however, such right of purchase is exercisable, subject to certain restrictions, only as of the last day of any Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Original Pool Balance.

The Certificate may not be acquired by or for the account of (i) an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a “plan” (within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (iii) any entity whose underlying assets include assets of an employee benefit plan or a plan described in (i) or (ii) above by reason of such employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in the entity (collectively, a “Benefit Plan Investor”), or (iv) an employee benefit plan, a plan or other similar arrangement that is not a Benefit Plan Investor but is subject to federal, State, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each of (i) – (iv), a “Benefit Plan Entity”). By accepting and holding its beneficial ownership interest in its Certificate, the Holder hereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan Entity.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Certificate or of any Receivable or related document.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature, this Certificate shall not entitle the

A-5

Holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
