(d) to enter into and perform its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is a party;

(e) to engage in those activities, including entering into agreements, that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith, which activities cannot be contrary to the status of the Trust as a “qualifying special purpose entity” under SFAS 140, any successor rule thereto and existing accounting literature; and

(f) subject to compliance with the Basic Documents, to engage in such other activities as may be required in connection with conservation of the Owner Trust Estate and the making of distributions to the Certificateholders and the Noteholders, which activities cannot be contrary to the status of the Trust as a “qualifying special purpose entity” under SFAS 140, any successor rule thereto and existing accounting literature.

Issuer is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing activities. Issuer shall not engage in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing or other than as required or authorized by the terms of this Agreement or the other Basic Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, except for such activities as are referenced in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this Section 2.3, the Issuer is not authorized and has no power to (a) borrow money or issue other debt; (b) to the fullest extent permitted by law, merge with another entity, reorganize, liquidate or sell assets prior to the discharge of the Indenture; or (c) engage in any other business or activities.

SECTION 2.5. Initial Capital Contributions of Trust Estate. The Depositor hereby sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over to the Owner Trustee, as of the date hereof, the Reserve Account Initial Deposit. The Owner Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt in trust from the Depositor, as of the date hereof, of the foregoing contribution, which, together with the initial contribution referred to in the Original Trust Agreement, shall constitute the initial Owner Trust Estate. The Reserve Account Initial Deposit shall be deposited in the Reserve Account pursuant to Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Depositor shall pay the organizational expenses of the Issuer as they may arise or shall, upon the request of the Owner Trustee, promptly reimburse the Owner Trustee for any such expenses paid by the Owner Trustee.

SECTION 2.6. Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it will hold the Owner Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders and the Class R Certificateholder, subject to the obligations of the Issuer under the Basic Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Issuer constitute a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust Statute and that this Agreement constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, solely for United States income and franchise tax purposes, the Issuer shall be treated as a partnership. The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Issuer will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the Issuer as a partnership for such tax purposes. Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set forth herein and to the extent not inconsistent herewith, in the Statutory Trust Statute with

respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Issuer. The Owner Trustee has filed the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State of Delaware. All actions taken by the Owner Trustee with respect to the filing or correction of the Certificate of Trust are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

SECTION 2.7. Title to Issuer Property. Legal title to all the Owner Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Issuer as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case the title shall be deemed to be vested in the Owner Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.8. Situs of Issuer. The Issuer will be located and administered in the State of Delaware. All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall be located in the State of Delaware or the State of New York. Payments will be received by the Issuer only in Delaware or New York, and payments will be made by the Issuer only from Delaware or New York. The only office of the Issuer will be at its office in Delaware.

SECTION 2.9. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee that:

(i) The Depositor has been duly organized and is validly existing as a national banking association in good standing under the laws of the United States of America, with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted, and had at all relevant times, and has, power, authority and legal right to acquire and own the Receivables.

(ii) The Depositor has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms; the Depositor has full power and authority to sell and assign the property to be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Issuer, and the Depositor has duly authorized such sale and assignment and deposit to the Issuer by all necessary action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary action.

(iii) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the fulfillment of the terms hereof, do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the articles of association or bylaws of the Depositor, or conflict with or breach any of the material terms or provisions of or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument; nor violate any law or, to the best of the Depositor’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court or of any Federal or state regulatory body, administrative

agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties.

SECTION 2.10. Liability of Certificateholders and Class R Certificateholder. Neither any Certificateholder nor the Class R Certificateholder shall have any personal liability for any liability or obligation of the Issuer.

SECTION 2.11. Guaranteed Payments/Gross Income Allocations. (a) Inasmuch as the Certificateholders’ Interest Distributable Amount is determined and paid hereunder without regard to the income of the Issuer, the Issuer shall treat payments of such amounts as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code. Consequently, Certificateholders will have ordinary income equal to their allocable share of the Certificateholders’ Interest Distributable Amount, the Issuer will have an equivalent deduction for United States federal income tax purposes and no amount of the gross income of the Issuer shall be allocable to the Certificateholders (and there will be no corresponding increase in Certificateholders’ Capital Accounts (as defined herein) under Section 5.7). In the event that any taxing authority does not respect such tax treatment, the gross income of the Issuer for any calendar month as determined for United States federal income tax purposes shall be allocated, after giving effect to special allocations set forth in Section 2.13 of this Agreement and for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts under Section 5.7 of this Agreement as follows:

(1) first, among the Certificateholders as of the close of the last day of such calendar month, in proportion to their ownership of the principal amount of Certificates outstanding on such date, an amount of gross income equal to the amount of (i) interest that accrues in such calendar month on the Certificates in accordance with their terms, including interest accruing thereon at the Certificate Rate monthly, (ii) interest on amounts previously due under the Certificates and not yet paid as provided therein and (iii) any gross income of the Trust attributable to discount on the Receivables that corresponds to any excess of the principal amount of the Certificates over the initial issue price; and

(2) the balance of gross income, if any, to the Class R Certificateholder.

If the gross income of the Issuer for any month is insufficient for the allocations described in clause (1) above, subsequent items of gross income shall first be allocated to make up such shortfall before being allocated as provided in clause (2).

(b) In the event the initial issue price of the Certificates differs from their initial principal amount, there shall be specially allocated to the Certificateholders the portion, if any, of the offset for premium (in the case the issue price of the Certificates exceeds their principal amount) or market discount income (in the case the principal amount of the Certificates exceeds their issue price) on the Receivables accruing for a calendar month that is attributable to such difference.

SECTION 2.12. Deduction and Loss Allocations. (a) All items of deduction and loss of the Issuer shall be allocated to the Class R Certificateholder.

(b) To the extent that an allocation of the gross amount of deductions and losses to the Class R Certificateholder pursuant to Section 2.12(a) above would cause the Capital Account of the Class R Certificateholder to be reduced below zero, such excess deductions and losses shall be allocated to the Certificateholders on a pro rata basis until each of their Capital Accounts has been reduced to zero. If any amount of gross deduction or loss has not been allocated pursuant to the preceding sentence because all of the Certificateholders’ Capital Accounts have been reduced to zero, the amount of such remaining unallocated deductions or losses shall be allocated to the Class R Certificateholder.

(c) If any deductions or losses have been allocated to the Certificateholders under Section 2.12(b) above, an amount of gross income shall be allocated to such Certificateholders under this Section 2.12(c) in subsequent taxable years sufficient to offset the amount of any deductions or losses previously allocated to such Certificateholders under Section 2.12(b) above and, thereafter, allocations of gross income and deductions shall be made in accordance with Sections 2.11 and 2.12(a) of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.13. Special Allocations. In the event any Certificateholder unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Issuer gross income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Certificateholder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the deficit, if any, in the balance of the Capital Account of such Certificateholder as quickly as possible; provided, that subsequent allocations of gross income and gain, or deductions, shall take into account any special allocations made to a Certificateholder under this Section 2.13 and shall be adjusted so that the amount of gross income and gain, or deductions, allocated to a Certificateholder will equal the amount of gross income and gain, or deductions, that would have been allocated to such Certificateholder had no such special allocations been made to such Certificateholder under this Section 2.13. This Section 2.13 is intended to comply with the qualified income offset provision in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations.

SECTION 2.14. Characterization of the Trust. For purposes of SFAS 140, the parties hereto intend that (a) the Trust be treated as a “qualifying special purpose entity” as such term is used in SFAS 140 and any successor rule thereto and (b) the Trust’s power and authority as stated in Section 2.3 of this Agreement be limited in accordance with paragraph 35 of SFAS 140.

ARTICLE III

CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

SECTION 3.1. Initial Ownership; Class R Certificate.

Upon the formation of the Issuer by the contributions by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.5 and until the issuance of the Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust. Concurrently with the transfer of the Receivables to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Class R Certificate shall be issued to the Depositor in the form of

Exhibit A-1, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Class R Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Officer or other authorized signatory of the Owner Trustee. The Class R Certificate bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was, at the time when such signature shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Issuer, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individual shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of the Class R Certificate or did not hold such office at the date of authentication and delivery of the Class R Certificate. The Class R Certificate shall not entitle the holder thereof to any benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on the Class R Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1, executed by the Owner Trustee or JPMorgan Chase, as the Owner Trustee’s authentication agent, by manual or facsimile signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that the Class R Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Class R Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Class R Certificate (or any interest therein) may not be sold, assigned, participated, pledged or otherwise transferred except by operation of law pursuant to the merger or consolidation of the Class R Certificateholder or except to an Affiliate of the Depositor.

SECTION 3.2. The Certificates. Upon initial issuance, the Certificates shall each be in the form of Exhibit A-2, which is incorporated herein by reference, and shall be issued as provided in Section 3.10 in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Certificate Balance. The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Officer or other authorized signatory of the Owner Trustee. Certificates 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 Issuer, 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 Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificates. No Certificate shall entitle the 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-2, executed by the Owner Trustee or JPMorgan Chase, as the Owner Trustee’s authentication agent, by manual or facsimile signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. 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. Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Certificates. Concurrently with the transfer of the Receivables to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificates in an aggregate principal amount equal to the initial Certificate Balance to be executed on behalf of the Issuer, 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, without further action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations.

SECTION 3.4. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. The Owner Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.8 by a certificate registrar (the “Certificate Registrar”), a register (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. JPMorgan Chase shall be the initial Certificate Registrar. In the event that, subsequent to the date of issuance of the Certificates, JPMorgan Chase notifies the Owner Trustee that it is unable to act as the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee shall act, or the Owner Trustee shall, with the consent of the Depositor, appoint another bank or trust company, having an office or agency located in The City of New York and which agrees to act in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it, to act, as successor Certificate Registrar under this Agreement.

The Owner Trustee may revoke such appointment and remove JPMorgan Chase as the Certificate Registrar if the Owner Trustee determines in its sole discretion that JPMorgan Chase failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. JPMorgan Chase shall be permitted to resign as the Certificate Registrar upon 30 days’ written notice to the Owner Trustee, the Depositor and the Issuer; provided, however, that such resignation shall not be effective and JPMorgan Chase shall continue to perform its duties as the Certificate Registrar until the Owner Trustee has appointed a successor Certificate Registrar with the consent of the Depositor.

An institution succeeding to the corporate agency business of the Certificate Registrar shall continue to be the Certificate Registrar without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Owner Trustee or such Certificate Registrar.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and (if the Certificate Registrar is different than the Owner Trustee, then the Certificate Registrar shall) deliver (or shall cause JPMorgan Chase as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like class and aggregate face amount dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. At the option of a Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same class in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8.

Whenever any Certificate is surrendered for exchange, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and (if the Certificate Registrar is different than the Owner Trustee, then the Certificate Registrar shall) deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder, which signature on such assignment must be guaranteed by a member of the New York Stock Exchange or a commercial bank or trust company.

Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Owner Trustee or Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, 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 Certificates.

SECTION 3.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. (a) If any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, of 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 protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of Issuer shall execute and the Owner Trustee, or JPMorgan Chase, as the Owner Trustee’s authenticating agent, shall authenticate and (if the Certificate Registrar is different from the Owner Trustee, then the Certificate Registrar shall) deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. If, after delivery of such replacement Certificate, a protected purchaser of the original Certificate in lieu of which such replacement Certificate was issued presents for payment such original Certificate, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to recover such replacement Certificate from such Person to whom such replacement Certificate was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in connection therewith. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.5, 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 Issuer, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. The provisions of this Section 3.5 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.

SECTION 3.6. Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee or 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 Section 5.2 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Owner Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.7. Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer and the Depositor (and to the Owner Trustee, if the Owner Trustee is not the Certificate Registrar) within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request therefor from the Servicer or the Depositor (or the Owner Trustee) in writing, a list, in such form as the Servicer or the Depositor (or the Owner

Trustee) may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. If, at such time, if any, as Definitive Certificates have been issued, if three or more Holders of Certificates or one or more Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Certificate Balance apply in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of Certificateholders. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed to hold none of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer or the Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

SECTION 3.8. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Owner Trustee shall maintain in the City of New York, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Owner Trustee initially designates the offices of JPMorgan Chase located at 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000 as its office for such purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer and to the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

SECTION 3.9. Appointment of Paying Agent. The Owner Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates. The Owner Trustee hereby appoints JPMorgan Chase as the initial Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account, make distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.2 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect or for other good cause. The Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign upon 30 days’ written notice to the Owner Trustee and the Servicer. In the event that JPMorgan Chase shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company and may be the Owner Trustee), with the consent of the Depositor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee (unless it is the Owner Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon the removal of a Paying Agent, such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.3, 7.4, 7.6, 8.1 and 8.2 shall apply to the Owner Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Owner Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any

reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

SECTION 3.10. Book-Entry Certificates. The Certificates, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of a typewritten Certificate or Certificates representing Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by or on behalf of the Issuer. Such Book-Entry Certificate or Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no beneficial owner will receive a definitive Certificate representing such beneficial owner’s interest in such Certificate, except as provided in Section 3.12. Unless and until Definitive Certificates have been issued to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 3.12:

(a) the provisions of this Section 3.10 shall be in full force and effect;

(b) the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants for all purposes of this Agreement relating to the Book-Entry Certificates (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Certificates and the giving of instructions or directions to Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates) as the sole Holder of Book-Entry Certificates and shall have no obligations to Certificate Owners thereof;

(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall control;

(d) the rights of Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency (or to the extent Certificateholders are not Clearing Agency Participants, through the Clearing Agency Participants through which such Certificateholders own Book-Entry Certificates), and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or Clearing Agency Participants, and all references in this Agreement to actions by Certificateholders shall refer to actions taken by the Clearing Agency upon instructions from the Clearing Agency Participants, and all references in this Agreement to distributions, notices, reports and statements to Certificateholders shall refer to distributions, notices, reports and statements to the Clearing Agency, as registered holder of the Certificates, as the case may be, for distribution to Certificateholders in accordance with the procedures of the Clearing Agency. Pursuant to the Certificate Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.12, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

(e) whenever this Agreement requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of the Holders of Certificates evidencing a specified percentage of the Certificate Balance, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received

instructions to such effect from Certificate Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Book-Entry Certificates and has delivered such instructions to the Owner Trustee.

SECTION 3.11. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.12, the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Certificateholders to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to Certificate Owners.

SECTION 3.12. Definitive Certificates. If (a) the Servicer advises the Owner Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Certificates, and the Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Servicer at its option elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency, or (c) after the occurrence of an Event of Servicing Termination or Event of Default, Certificate Owners of the Certificates representing beneficial interests aggregating not less than a majority of the Certificate Balance advise the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants, and the Owner Trustee, in writing, and if the Clearing Agency shall so notify the Owner Trustee, that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of Certificate Owners, then the Owner Trustee shall notify the Clearing Agency of the occurrence of any such event, which shall be responsible to notify the Certificate Owners of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of the Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the typewritten Certificate or Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by re-registration instructions, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate, or cause to be authenticated, and (if the Certificate Registrar is different than the Owner Trustee, then the Certificate Registrar shall) deliver the Definitive Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither the Certificate Registrar nor the Owner Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Certificate Registrar, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders. The Definitive Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other matter as is reasonably acceptable to the Owner Trustee, as evidenced by its execution thereof.

SECTION 3.13. Authenticating Agent.

(a) The Owner Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents with respect to the Certificates and the Class R Certificate which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Owner Trustee in authenticating the Certificates and the Class R Certificate in connection with the issuance, delivery, registration of transfer, exchange or repayment of the Certificates and the Class R Certificate. The Owner Trustee hereby appoints JPMorgan Chase as

Authenticating Agent for the authentication of Certificates and the Class R Certificate upon any issuance or registration of transfer or exchange of the Certificates or the Class R Certificate. Whenever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates or the Class R Certificate by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Owner Trustee by an authenticating agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Owner Trustee by an authenticating agent. Each authenticating agent (other than JPMorgan Chase) shall be subject to acceptance by the Depositor.

(b) Any institution succeeding to the corporate agency business of an authenticating agent shall continue to be an authenticating agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Owner Trustee or such authenticating agent.

(c) An authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor. The Owner Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an authenticating agent by giving notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Depositor. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time an authenticating agent shall cease to be acceptable to the Owner Trustee or the Depositor, the Owner Trustee promptly may appoint a successor authenticating agent with the consent of the Depositor. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an authenticating agent.

(d) The Depositor shall pay the authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 3.13.

(e) The provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.3, 7.4, 7.6, 8.1 and 8.2 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.

(f) Pursuant to an appointment made under this Section 3.13, the Certificates may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Owner Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form:

This is one of the Certificates referred to in the within mentioned Agreement.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by the Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Owner Trustee and, when required, to the Depositor or the Servicer. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Owner Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 3.14.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Certificateholder of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the Owner Trustee deems sufficient.

The Owner Trustee shall not have the power, except upon the direction of the Certificateholders, to (a) remove the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement pursuant to Article VIII thereof, (b) remove the Administrator under the Administration Agreement pursuant to Section 8 thereof or (c) except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, sell the Receivables or any interest therein after the termination of the Indenture.

SECTION 4.3. Action by Certificateholders with Respect to Bankruptcy. The Owner Trustee shall not have the power to commence a voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy relating to the Issuer without the unanimous prior approval of all Certificateholders unless the Owner Trustee reasonably believes that the Issuer is insolvent.

SECTION 4.4. Restrictions on Certificateholders’ Power. The Certificateholders 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 Issuer or the Owner Trustee under this

Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.3 nor shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction, if given.

ARTICLE V

APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES

SECTION 5.1. Establishment of Certificate Distribution Account. The Owner Trustee, for the benefit of Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Issuer an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Certificate Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

The Owner Trustee 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. If, at any time, the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Servicer shall establish a new Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Deposit Account in accordance with Section 5.1(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and the Owner Trustee shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Certificate Distribution Account and shall assist the Servicer in establishing such account as necessary.

Amounts on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account shall not be invested.

SECTION 5.2. Application of Funds in Certificate Distribution Account. (a) Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Owner Trustee will, based on the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date pursuant to Section 4.8 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, distribute to Certificateholders, to the extent of the funds available, amounts deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.5 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement on such Payment Date in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to the Certificateholders, on a pro rata basis, an amount equal to the Certificateholders’ Interest Distributable Amount; and

(ii) second, to the Certificateholders, on a pro rata basis, an amount equal to the Certificateholders’ Principal Distribution Amount.

(b) On each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee shall send, or cause to be sent, to each Certificateholder the statement provided to the Owner Trustee by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.9 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement on such Payment Date.

(c) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer’s payment (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder in accordance with this Section. Each of the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Issuer (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee 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 a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Issuer and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. The Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent, on its behalf, intends to withhold United States withholding taxes from any amounts allocable or distributed to non-United States Certificateholders at a rate of 35% for non-United States Certificateholders that are classified as corporations for United States federal income tax purposes and at the highest individual income tax rate for all other non-United States Certificateholders. In the event that a Certificateholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

SECTION 5.3. Method of Payment. Subject to Section 9.1(c), distributions required to be made to Certificateholders on any Payment Date shall be made to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (a) by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided to the Certificate Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date and such Holder’s Certificates in the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than $1,000,000 or (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register; provided that, unless Definitive Certificates have been issued pursuant to Section 3.12, with respect to Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), distributions will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee.

SECTION 5.4. No Segregation of Monies; No Interest. Subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, monies received by the Owner Trustee or any Paying Agent hereunder need not be segregated in any manner except to the extent required by law and may be deposited under such general conditions as may be prescribed by law, and neither the Owner Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be liable for any interest thereon.

SECTION 5.5. Accounting and Reports to the Noteholders, Certificateholders, the Internal Revenue Service and Others. The Owner Trustee shall (a) maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the Issuer on a calendar year basis on the accrual method of accounting,

(b) deliver (or cause to be delivered) to each Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, such information as may be required (including Schedule K-1) to enable each Certificateholder to prepare its Federal and state income tax returns, (c) prepare or cause to be prepared and file such tax returns relating to the Issuer (including a partnership information return, Form 1065), and make such elections as may from time to time be required or appropriate under any applicable state or Federal statute or rule or regulation thereunder so as to maintain the Trust’s characterization as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and (d) collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with Section 5.2(c) with respect to income or distributions to Certificateholders. The Depositor shall sign all tax information returns filed pursuant to this Section 5.5 and any other returns as may be required by law. The Issuer shall elect under Section 1278 of the Code to include in income currently any market discount that accrues with respect to the Receivables. The Issuer shall not make the election provided under Section 754 of the Code.

SECTION 5.6. Signature on Returns; Tax Matters Partner. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.5, the Class R Certificateholder shall sign on behalf of the Issuer the tax returns of the Issuer, unless applicable law requires the Owner Trustee to sign such documents, in which case such documents shall be signed by the Owner Trustee at the written direction of the Class R Certificateholder.

The Class R Certificateholder shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Issuer pursuant to the Code.

SECTION 5.7. Capital Accounts. The Issuer shall maintain accounts (“Capital Accounts”) with respect to the Certificateholders and the Class R Certificateholder (each an “Owner”). For this purpose, Capital Accounts shall be maintained in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Each Owner’s Capital Account shall be increased by the Capital Contributions (as defined below) of such Owner, such Owner’s distributive share of gross income (if any) and any items in the nature of income or gain that are allocated to such Owner pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.12(c) or 2.13.

(b) Each Owner’s Capital Account shall be reduced by any amount distributed to such Owner (including, in the case of the Class R Certificateholder, any amount released or otherwise distributed to the Class R Certificateholder from the Reserve Account under Section 5.7, of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) and any items in the nature of deductions or losses that are allocated to such Owner pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13.

(c) In the event all or a portion of a Certificate is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it related to such Certificate or a portion thereof.

“Capital Contribution” means the amount of any cash contributed to the Issuer by an Owner (including any amounts deemed to be contributed in connection with the original

issuance of the Certificates), including, in the case of the Class R Certificateholder, the amount of any Receivables deemed to have been contributed by the Class R Certificateholder (with such amount for Receivables intended to reflect the amount of the Receivables and monies due thereon or with respect thereto, including accrued but unpaid interest and finance charges, conveyed to the Issuer by the Class R Certificateholder on the Closing Date under Article II of the Sale and Servicing Agreement). The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Section 1.704-l(b) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

ARTICLE VI

AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF OWNER TRUSTEE

The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Issuer is named as a party and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Issuer is named as a party, including, without limitation, any filing authorizations authorizing the filing of a financing statement on form UCC-1 with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and any amendment thereto, in each case, in such form as the Depositor shall approve as evidenced conclusively by the Owner Trustee’s execution thereof, and, on behalf of the Issuer at the written direction of the Depositor, to direct the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000, Class A-2 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $540,000,000, Class A-3 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $790,000,000 and Class A-4 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $240,900,000.

The Owner Trustee is further authorized from time to time to take such action as the Administrator recommends or directs in writing with respect to the Basic Documents.

SECTION 6.2. 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 other Basic Documents and to administer the Issuer in the interest of Certificateholders and the Class R Certificateholder, 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 Administrator has agreed in the Administration Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Owner Trustee or the Issuer hereunder or under any other Basic Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Administration Agreement.

SECTION 6.3. Action upon Instruction. (a) Subject to Article IV, the Certificateholders may, by written instruction, direct the Owner Trustee in the management of the Issuer. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.5.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall reasonably determine, or shall have been advised by counsel in writing, that such action is likely to result in personal liability to the Owner Trustee (in such capacity or individually), is contrary to the terms of this Agreement or any other Basic Document or is 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 other Basic Document or is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document, or if 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 Certificateholders 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 Certificateholders 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 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 other Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

SECTION 6.4. No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or the other Basic Documents. 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 6.3; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any Basic Document against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any Commission filing for the Issuer or to record this Agreement or any other 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, in its individual capacity, that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Owner Trust Estate.

SECTION 6.5. No Action Except under Specified Documents or Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal

with any part of the Owner Trust Estate except (i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Basic Documents, and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3.

SECTION 6.6. Restrictions. The Owner Trustee shall not (a) take any action that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Issuer set forth in Section 2.3 or (b) take any action or amend this Agreement in any manner that, to the best knowledge of the Owner Trustee, would result in the Issuer’s becoming taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. The Owner Trustee and Depositor agree that no election to treat the Issuer other than as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes or any relevant state tax purposes shall be made by or on behalf of the Issuer. The Certificateholders shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 6.7. Doing Business in Other Jurisdictions. (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware, other than as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 6.7, if the taking of such action will (i) require the consent or approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction or any political subdivisions thereof in existence on the date hereof other than the State of Delaware becoming payable by the Owner Trustee; or (iii) subject the Owner Trustee to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions by the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby. The Owner Trustee shall be entitled to obtain advice of counsel (which advice shall be an expense of the Depositor) to determine whether any action required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement results in the consequences described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence. In the event that said counsel advises the Owner Trustee that such action will result in such consequences, the Owner Trustee will appoint an additional trustee pursuant to Section 10.5 to proceed with such action.

In accordance with Section 4.7 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall receive as compensation for its services hereunder such fees as have been separately agreed upon before the date hereof between the Servicer and the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Servicer for its other reasonable expenses hereunder, including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents, representatives, experts and counsel as the Owner Trustee may employ in connection with the exercise and performance of its rights and its duties hereunder except any such expenses as may arise from its gross negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith or that is the responsibility of Certificateholders under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.2. Indemnification. In accordance with Section 7.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall be liable as primary obligor for, and shall indemnify the Owner Trustee (in such capacity or individually) and its successors, assigns, agents and servants (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, taxes, claims, actions and suits, and any and all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively, “Expenses”) which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Owner Trustee or any Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Basic Documents, the Owner Trust Estate, the administration of the Owner Trust Estate or the action or inaction of the Owner Trustee hereunder, except only that the Servicer shall not be liable for or required to indemnify the Owner Trustee from and against Expenses arising or resulting from any of the matters described in the third sentence of Section 7.1. The indemnities contained in this Section shall survive the resignation or termination of the Owner Trustee or the termination of this Agreement. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 8.2, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Servicer in writing, and the Servicer upon request of the Indemnified Party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (or, with the consent of the Servicer, counsel selected by the Indemnified Party acceptable to the Servicer) to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Servicer may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel

(a) The Issuer shall dissolve as soon as reasonably practicable after the final distribution by the Owner Trustee of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Article V, but before the payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to this Agreement, which payment will be made only after the Owner Trustee has satisfied its obligations under Section 3808(e) of the Statutory Trust Statute; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust created by this Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the date of this Agreement. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of any Certificateholder, any Certificate Owner or the Class R Certificateholder shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Issuer, nor (y) entitle such Certificateholder’s, such Certificate Owner’s or the Class R 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 Issuer or the Owner Trust Estate nor (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.

(c) Notice of any termination of the Issuer, specifying the Payment Date upon which the Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates to the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given by the Owner Trustee by letter to the Certificateholders mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice of such termination from the Servicer given pursuant to Section 9.1(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, stating (i) the Payment Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable,

payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent therein specified. The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if other than the Owner Trustee) and the Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to the Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.2.

If all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Owner Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates 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 remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Owner Trust Estate after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed, subject to applicable escheat laws, by the Owner Trustee to the Class R Certificateholder.

(d) Any funds remaining in the Issuer after funds for final distribution have been distributed or set aside for distribution shall be distributed by the Owner Trustee to the Class R Certificateholder.

SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES AND ADDITIONAL OWNER TRUSTEES

SECTION 10.1. Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a corporation authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authorities. If such corporation 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 corporation 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 10.2. In addition, at all times the Owner Trustee or a co-trustee shall be a person that satisfies the requirements of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute (the “Delaware Trustee”).

SECTION 10.2. 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 Administrator. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Administrator 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 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.

If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Administrator, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall 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, then the Administrator may remove the Owner Trustee. If the Administrator shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrator shall promptly 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 of which shall be delivered to the successor Owner Trustee, and payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee shall be made 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 10.3 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

SECTION 10.3. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator 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 the 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 Administrator 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 10.1.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to all Certificateholders, the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Administrator shall fail to mail such notice within 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 Administrator.

Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall promptly file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State identifying the name and principal place of business of such successor Owner Trustee in the State of Delaware.

SECTION 10.4. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any corporation into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting form any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation 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 corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided further that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies; and provided further, that such successor Owner Trustee shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust as described in Section 10.3.

SECTION 10.5. 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 Administrator 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 Issuer, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. If the Delaware Trustee shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, unless the Owner Trustee is qualified to act as the Delaware Trustee, a successor co-trustee shall promptly be appointed in the manner specified in this Section 10.5 to act as the Delaware Trustee. 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 10.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.3.

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

(i) 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 Issuer 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;

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

(iii) the Administrator 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 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 Administrator.

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as 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 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.
