OF THE DEPOSITOR; CUSTODIAN

Section 2.1. Sale of Trust Property. In consideration of the Issuer's delivery to the Depositor of Notes with an aggregate Note Balance of $2,954,100,000 and the rights to distributions under Section 8.2 of the Indenture, the Depositor irrevocably sells and assigns to the Issuer, without recourse (subject to the obligations of the Depositor under this Agreement), all right, title and interest of the Depositor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Receivables and the other Trust Property. The sale made under this Agreement does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of the Depositor or Ford Credit to the Obligors, the Dealers or any other Person in connection with the Receivables and the other Trust Property.

Section 2.2. Savings Clause. It is the intention of the Depositor and the Issuer that (i) the sale and assignment pursuant to Section 2.1 constitutes an absolute sale of the Trust Property, conveying good title free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, from the Depositor to the Issuer, and (ii) the Trust Property not be a part of the Depositor's estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Depositor. If, notwithstanding the intention of the Depositor and the Issuer, such transfer is deemed to be a pledge in connection with a financing or is otherwise deemed not to be a sale and assignment, the Depositor Grants, and the parties intend that the Depositor Grant, to the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in the Trust Property to secure a loan in an amount equal to all

amounts payable by the Depositor under this Agreement, all amounts payable as principal and interest on the Notes and all amounts payable as servicing fees under this Agreement and all fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, and in such event, this Agreement will constitute a security agreement under applicable law and the Issuer will have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the UCC.

Section 2.3. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor About the Receivables.

(a) Representations and Warranties from the Purchase Agreement. Ford Credit made the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 of the Purchase Agreement to the Depositor, and has consented to the transfer by the Depositor to the Issuer of the Depositor's rights with respect to such representations and warranties on which the Issuer is relying in acquiring the Receivables. Pursuant to Section 2.1, the Depositor has transferred to the Issuer all of the Depositor's rights under the Purchase Agreement, including the right to require Ford Credit to repurchase Receivables in accordance with the Purchase Agreement if there is a breach of Ford Credit's representations and warranties. In addition, the Depositor represents and warrants as of the Closing Date, which representations and warranties the Issuer has relied on in purchasing the Receivables and will survive the sale of the Receivables to the Issuer and the pledge of the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects.

(b) Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The Depositor represents and warrants as of the Closing Date, which representations and warranties the Issuer has relied on in purchasing the Receivables and will survive the sale of the Receivables to the Issuer and the pledge of the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, that:

(i) immediately before the sale under this Agreement, the Depositor had good and marketable title to the Receivables and other Trust Property free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, and

(ii) immediately upon the sale under this Agreement, the Issuer will have good and marketable title to the Receivables and other Trust Property, free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens.

Section 2.4. Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Representations or Warranties by the Depositor.

(a) If a Responsible Person of the Depositor has actual knowledge, or receives notice from the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, of a breach of the representations or warranties made by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.3 that materially and adversely affects any Receivable and such breach has not been cured in all material respects by the last day of the second full Collection Period (or, at the Depositor's option, the first full Collection Period) after the Responsible Person obtains actual knowledge or is notified of such breach, the Depositor will repurchase such Receivable by remitting (or causing to be remitted) the Purchase Amount for such Receivable to the Collection Account on the Business Day

preceding the Payment Date after such Collection Period (or, with Rating Agency Confirmation, on such Payment Date). If Ford Credit is the Servicer, the Depositor may cause any Purchase Amount to be remitted any in accordance with Section 4.3(c).

(b) The sole remedy for a breach of the representations and warranties of the Depositor contained in Section 2.3 and Section 5.1 is (i) to require the Depositor to repurchase such materially and adversely affected Receivable, or (ii) to require the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee to enforce the obligation of Ford Credit to repurchase such materially and adversely affected Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3(a) of the Purchase Agreement. None of the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor or the Administrator will have any duty to conduct an investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to Section 2.4(a).

(c) When the Purchase Amount is included in Available Funds for a Payment Date or Final Scheduled Payment Date, as applicable, the Issuer will, without further action, be deemed to have sold and assigned to the Depositor as of the last day of the second preceding Collection Period all of the Issuer's right, title and interest in and to the Receivable repurchased by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.4(a) and security and documents relating to such Receivable. Such sale will not require any action by the Issuer and will be without recourse, representation or warranty by the Issuer except the representation that the Issuer owns the Receivable free and clear of any Liens other than Permitted Liens. Upon such sale, the Servicer will xxxx its computer records to indicate that such receivable is no longer a Receivable and take any action necessary or appropriate to evidence the sale of such receivable, free from any Lien of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

Section 2.5. Custodian.

(a) Appointment of Custodian. To reduce administrative costs and facilitate the servicing of the Receivables by the Servicer, the Issuer appoints Ford Credit, in its capacity as the Servicer, to act as the custodian of the Receivables for the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. Ford Credit accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the custodial duties set forth in this Section 2.5. Ford Credit in its capacity as custodian under this Agreement is referred to as the "Custodian."

(b) Custody of Receivables Files. The Custodian will hold and maintain in safekeeping the following documents and instruments for each Receivable (the "Receivables Files") for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee:

(i) the original Receivable;

(ii) the credit application executed by the Obligor;

(iii) the original certificate of title or such other documents evidencing the security interest of Ford Credit in the Financed Vehicle; and

(iv) all other documents, notices and correspondence that the Servicer generates relating to the Receivable, the Obligor or the Financed Vehicle.

Unless otherwise indicated above, any document or instrument in the Receivables Files may be a photocopy or in electronic format. The Receivables Files are constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, and the Custodian confirms to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that it has received the Receivables Files. No initial review or any periodic review of the Receivables Files by the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee is required.

(c) Maintenance and Safekeeping of the Receivables Files. The Custodian will accurately maintain and keep current the Receivables Files, including any computer systems on which the Receivables Files are electronically stored, all in a manner that will permit the Servicer and the Issuer to comply with this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee to comply with the Indenture. The Custodian will act with reasonable care and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy in performing its duties as custodian. The Custodian will promptly take appropriate action to remedy any material failure on its part to hold the Receivables Files and maintain its computer systems as provided in this Agreement and will report to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee any such material failure that it is unable to remedy within a reasonable time. The Custodian may destroy any document (other than the original Receivable or certificate of title) in any Receivable File and store such document in an electronic format in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

(d) Location of Receivables Files. The Custodian will maintain the Receivables Files (or access to any Receivables Files stored in an electronic format) at one of its offices or the offices of one of its custodians in the United States. Upon request, the Custodian will provide a list of locations of the Receivables Files to the Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, or their representatives, attorneys or auditors.

(e) Access to Receivables Files. The Custodian will provide the Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with access to the Receivables Files and the related computer systems at offices designated by the Custodian without charge, but only upon reasonable request, during normal business hours. Such access will be subject to the Custodian's security and confidentiality procedures and the terms and conditions of a confidentiality agreement satisfactory to the Custodian. Nothing in this Section 2.5(e) will affect the obligation of the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian to observe any applicable privacy and confidentiality law prohibiting disclosures of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Custodian to provide access as a result of such obligations will not constitute a breach of this Section 2.5(e).

(f) Effective Period and Termination of Custodian. Ford Credit's appointment as custodian is effective as of the Cutoff Date and will continue until terminated pursuant to this Section 2.5(f). If Ford Credit resigns as Servicer in accordance with Section 6.6 or the Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, the appointment of Ford Credit as custodian under this Agreement may be terminated in the same manner as the Servicer may be terminated under Section 7.1. As soon as practicable after any termination of its appointment as custodian, the Custodian will deliver to the Indenture Trustee or its agent or designee the Receivables Files maintained by the Custodian at such place as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with transferring the Receivables Files to the successor custodian and amending this Agreement to reflect such successor as custodian

will be paid by the predecessor custodian upon presentation of documentation of such costs and expenses.

(g) Servicer's Access to Receivables Files; Indemnity. Notwithstanding any termination of the Custodian pursuant to Section 2.5(f), the Servicer will be entitled to access the Receivables Files and, upon request from the Servicer, the successor custodian will promptly release any document in the Receivables Files to the Servicer. The Issuer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Servicer against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims and liabilities resulting from the failure by a successor custodian to release Receivables Files to the Servicer in a timely manner.

Section 3.3. Sales of Charged off Receivables. The Servicer, in its sole discretion, may sell a Receivable that has been charged off in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. Proceeds of any such sale allocable to the Receivable will constitute Recoveries. If the Servicer elects to sell any charged off Receivable, such Receivable will be deemed to have been sold and assigned by the Trust to the Servicer immediately prior to the sale by the Servicer. The sole right of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with respect to any Receivables sold pursuant to this Section 3.3 will be to receive the Recoveries. Upon such sale, the Servicer will xxxx its computer records indicating that any such receivable sold is no longer a Receivable and take any action necessary or appropriate to evidence the sale of the receivable free from any Lien of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

The Servicer may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of any such Proceeding at the Servicer's expense. No settlement of such Proceeding may be made without the approval of the Servicer and such Indemnified Person, which approvals will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

The Servicer or Custodian will be responsible for the fees of any such subcontractors.

Section 6.6. Ford Credit Not to Resign as Servicer.

(1) (A) such failure is caused by an event outside the control of the Servicer that the Servicer could not have avoided through the exercise of due care, (B) such failure does not continue for more than ten Business Days after the earlier of the date on which notice of such failure is given to the Servicer by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or a Responsible Person of the Servicer learns of such failure, (C) during such period the Servicer uses all commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and (D) the Servicer provides the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor and the Noteholders with prompt notice of such failure that includes a description of the Servicer's efforts to remedy such failure, or

(2) (A) such failure would not reasonably be expected to, or upon investigation and quantification does not, result in the failure in paying or depositing an amount greater than 0.05% of the sum of the Note Balances of all Notes, and (B) such failure does not continue for more than (i) if the Servicer's long-term debt is rated investment grade by all Rating Agencies rating the Notes, 90 days after a Responsible Person of the Servicer learns of such failure, or (ii) if the Servicer's long-term debt is not so rated, 90 days after such failure,

(ii) Any failure by the Servicer to observe or to perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of the Noteholders and continues for 90 days after the Servicer receives notice of such failure from the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders of at least 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, or

(iii) The occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer.

(b) If an Event of Servicing Termination occurs, the Indenture Trustee will promptly notify each Rating Agency. So long as such Event of Servicing Termination has not been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders of at least a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class (or, if no Notes are Outstanding, the Owner Trustee, at the

direction of the holder of the Residual Interest), by notice to the Servicer and the Rating Agencies (and to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee if given by the Noteholders), may terminate all of the rights and obligations (other than those set forth in Section 6.2 and Section 6.3) of the Servicer under this Agreement. Upon the receipt by the Servicer of such notice (or such later date as may be specified in such notice of termination), all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement will pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 7.2. In such event, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the termination of the predecessor Servicer and to complete the transfer of the Receivables Files and related documents to the Indenture Trustee or the successor Servicer or the successor Custodian.

(c) Upon termination of the Servicer under this Section 7.1 or the Servicer's resignation under Section 6.6, the predecessor Servicer will cooperate with the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including, as soon as practicable, the transfer to the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer of all cash amounts that are held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or thereafter received with respect to a Receivable and the delivery of the Receivables Files and the related accounts and records maintained by the Servicer. In no event, however, will the Servicer be obligated to provide, license or assign its processes, procedures, models, servicing software or other applications to any Successor Servicer or any other third party, or provide anything covered by a restriction on transfer or assignment or a confidentiality agreement. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Successor Servicer associated with (i) the transition of servicing duties to the Successor Servicer, and (ii) amending this Agreement to reflect a succession of the Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.1 will be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.

Section 7.2. Appointment of Successor Servicer.

(a) If the Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, it will continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement until the date specified in the notice of termination. If the Servicer resigns pursuant to Section 6.6, it will continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement until (i) if the resigning Servicer is Ford Credit, the earlier to occur of (A) the Indenture Trustee or a Successor Servicer assuming the responsibilities and obligations of Ford Credit as Servicer in accordance with this Section 7.2 and as the Administrator in accordance with Section 5.2 of the Administration Agreement, or (B) the date upon which any regulatory authority requires such resignation, and (ii) if the resigning Servicer is not Ford Credit, the earlier to occur of (A) the date 45 days from the delivery to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee of the notice of such resignation in accordance with Section 6.6, or (B) the date upon which the Servicer is legally unable to act as Servicer as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel.

(b) If the Servicer resigns or is terminated under this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee will (i) provide notice of such termination or resignation to the Issuer, and (ii)

as promptly as possible, appoint an institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 whose business includes the servicing of motor vehicle receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement. Such successor will accept its appointment (including its appointment as Administrator under the Administration Agreement as set forth in Section 7.2(d)) by (x) entering into a servicing agreement with the Issuer having substantially the same provisions as the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Servicer, in a form acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, and (y) delivering a copy of such servicing agreement to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer (such a successor, a "Successor Servicer"). Promptly following a Successor Servicer's acceptance of its appointment, the Indenture Trustee will notify the Issuer of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and address of the Successor Servicer.

(c) If no Person has accepted its appointment as Successor Servicer when the predecessor Servicer ceases to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section 7.2, the Indenture Trustee, without further action, will be automatically appointed the Successor Servicer. However, if the Indenture Trustee is unwilling or legally unable to act as Successor Servicer, it will appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 whose business includes the servicing of motor vehicle receivables, as successor. The Indenture Trustee will be released from its duties and obligations as Successor Servicer on the date that a new servicer enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer and delivers a copy of such servicing agreement to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer as provided in Section 7.2(b).

(d) Upon acceptance of its appointment as Successor Servicer, the Successor Servicer will (i) be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and will be subject to all of the responsibilities, duties, and liabilities following such Successor Servicer's appointment placed on the predecessor Servicer relating to such predecessor Servicer's performance of its duties as Servicer, and (ii) become the Administrator under the Administration Agreement in accordance with Section 5.2 of the Administration Agreement.

(e) In connection with any appointment of a Successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such Successor Servicer out of payments on Receivables as it and such Successor Servicer may agree; provided that no such compensation will be in excess of the amount paid to the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement. The Indenture Trustee and such Successor Servicer will take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as will be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(f) If the Indenture Trustee succeeds to the Servicer's duties as provided in Section 7.2(c), it will do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, Article VI of the Indenture will be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as Successor Servicer. In case the Indenture Trustee becomes Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.2(c), the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to appoint as Servicer any one of its Affiliates; provided that the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Successor Servicer, will be liable for the actions and omissions of such Affiliate in its capacity as Servicer.

Section 7.3. Notification to Secured Parties and the Holder of the Residual Interest. Upon any termination of the Servicer, or appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant

to this Article VII, the Indenture Trustee will promptly notify the Secured Parties and each Rating Agency, and the Owner Trustee will promptly notify the holder of the Residual Interest.

Section 7.4. Waiver of Events of Servicing Termination. The Noteholders of at least a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class or, if no Notes are Outstanding, the Owner Trustee, at the direction of the holder of the Residual Interest, may waive any Event of Servicing Termination and its consequences, except an event resulting from the failure to make any required deposits to or payments from any of the Bank Accounts in accordance with this Agreement that resulted in an Event of Default in the payment of principal or interest on any of the Notes (other than an Event of Default relating to failure to pay principal due only by reason of acceleration) under the Indenture. Upon any such waiver of an Event of Servicing Termination, such Event of Servicing Termination will cease to exist and will be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose under this Agreement. No such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other event or impair any right resulting from such waiver. The Issuer will notify the Rating Agencies of any such waiver.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION

Section 8.1. Clean-Up Call.

(a) If the Pool Balance is equal to or less than 10% of the Initial Pool Balance on the last day of any Collection Period, the Servicer has the option to purchase the Trust Property (other than the amounts on deposit in or invested in Permitted Investments maturing on or before the following Payment Date in the Trust Accounts). The Servicer may exercise its option to purchase the Trust Property by (i) notifying the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Rating Agencies at least ten days before the Payment Date related to such Collection Period, and (ii) remitting to the Collection Account the purchase price for the Trust Property equal to the aggregate Principal Balance of the Receivables as of the last day of such Collection Period in immediately available funds on the Business Day preceding the Payment Date (or, with Rating Agency Confirmation, on the Payment Date) related to such Collection Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer will not be permitted to purchase the Trust Property unless the sum of (i) such purchase price, (ii) the Collections on deposit in the Collection Account for such Collection Period, and (iii) any Purchase Amounts paid by the Depositor or the Servicer relating to such Collection Period is greater than or equal to the sum of (i) the Note Balance of the Notes Outstanding, and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, (ii) all amounts due from the Issuer under the Interest Rate Xxxxxx, and (iii) all amounts due to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

(b) When the purchase price for the Trust Property is included in Available Funds for a Payment Date, the Issuer will be deemed to have sold and assigned as of the last day of the preceding Collection Period all of the Issuer's right, title and interest in and to the Trust Property, including the Receivables and all security and documents relating to such Receivables. Such sale will not require any action by the Issuer and will be without recourse, representation or warranty by the Issuer except the representation that the Issuer owns the Receivable free and clear of any Liens other than Permitted Liens. Upon such sale, the Servicer will xxxx its

computer records indicating that any receivables purchased pursuant to Section 8.1(a) are no longer Receivables, file UCC termination or amendment statements or take any other action necessary or appropriate to evidence the transfer of ownership of the purchased Receivables free from any Lien of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, will execute such documents and instruments and any and all further instruments, including any authorizations to file UCC financing statement amendments, required or reasonably requested by the Servicer to effect such transfer.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 9.1. Amendment.

(a) Subject to Section 9.1(f), this Agreement may be amended by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Issuer, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies (and the consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to the extent that their respective rights or obligations will be materially and adversely affected, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but without the consent of any of the Noteholders subject to the following conditions:

(i) the Depositor, the Servicer or the Issuer delivers an Officer's Certificate to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder, and

(ii) the Depositor, the Servicer or the Issuer delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not (A) cause any Note to be deemed sold or exchanged for purposes of Section 1001 of the Code, (B) cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (C) adversely affect the treatment of the Notes as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(b) Subject to Section 9.1(f), this Agreement also may be amended by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Issuer, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and with the consent of (i) the Indenture Trustee, to the extent that its rights or obligations will be materially and adversely affected by such amendment (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (ii) the Owner Trustee, to the extent that its rights and obligations will be materially and adversely affected by such amendment (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and (iii) the Noteholders of at least a majority of the Note Balance of each Class of the Notes Outstanding (with each Class voting separately (if applicable), except that all Noteholders of Class A Notes will vote together as a single class).

(c) Notwithstanding anything else stated in Section 9.1(a) or (b), no such amendment: (i) may (A) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, or change the allocation or priority of, Collections or distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or (B) reduce the percentage of the Note Balance of the Notes Outstanding required to consent to any such amendment, without the

consent of all affected Noteholders, or (ii) may change the Specified Reserve Balance without receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation and the consent of all affected Noteholders.

(e) If the consent of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders is required, they do not need to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment so long as their consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

(f) Before executing any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to request, receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Depositor stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.

Section 9.2. Protection of Right, Title and Interest to the Trust Property.

(a) The Depositor will file financing statements and continuation statements, in the manner and place required by law to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Trust Property. The Depositor will deliver to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any financing statement and continuation statement promptly upon such document becoming available following filing. The Depositor authorizes the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to file any financing or continuation statements, and amendments to such statements, in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as the Issuer or the Indenture may determine are necessary or advisable to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the Trust Property. Such financing and continuation statements may describe the Trust Property in any manner as the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine to ensure the perfection of the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the Trust Property. The Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, will deliver to the Depositor file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any such financing statement and continuation statement promptly upon such document becoming available following filing.

(b) The (i) Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, if required or reasonably requested by the other or by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, and (ii) Owner Trustee, if required or reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee, agree to do and perform any and all acts and to execute any and all further instruments to more fully effect the purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Each of the Depositor and the Servicer will give the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at least 60 days' prior notice of any change in its corporate structure, form of organization or jurisdiction of organization if, as a result of such relocation or change, Section 9-307 of the UCC could require the filing of a new financing statement or an amendment to a previously filed financing or continuation statement and will promptly file any such new

financing statement or amendment. Each of the Depositor and the Servicer will maintain its chief executive office, and the Servicer will maintain each office from which it will service the Receivables, within the United States and will maintain its jurisdiction of organization in only one State.

(d) Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer will change its name in any manner that could make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 9.2(a) seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-506 of the UCC, unless it has given the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at least five days' prior notice thereof and promptly files appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements.

(e) On and after the Closing Date until a Receivable has been paid in full or repurchased, the Servicer will maintain its computer systems to indicate clearly that such Receivable is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

(f) At any time the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee has reasonable grounds to believe that a list of all Receivables (by contract number) then included in the Trust Property is necessary in connection with the performance of its duties under any Basic Agreement, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee may request such a list from the Depositor and the Depositor will furnish such list to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee within 30 Business Days of the request.

(g) The Depositor will, to the extent required by applicable law, cause the Notes to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, within the time periods specified in such sections.

Section 9.8. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 9.9. Severability. If any of the covenants, agreements or terms of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then it will be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements or terms of this Agreement and will in no way affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining Agreement.

Section 9.11. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.12. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver. No single or partial exercise of any power, right or remedy precludes any other or further exercise of such power, right or remedy or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.
