It is the intention of the parties hereto that, solely for federal income tax purposes and, to the extent permitted by law, for purposes of applicable state income or franchise tax, the Trust shall be disregarded as an entity apart from its owner, the Seller, in the event that the Seller is the sole Certificateholder for federal income tax purposes, or treated as a partnership if there is more than one Certificateholder for federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 2.11 [Reserved]

SECTION 2.12 Covenants of the Certificateholders. Each Certificateholder by becoming a holder of a Certificate agrees:

(a)

to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Certificates of which such Certificateholder is the beneficial owner and of this Agreement, including any supplements or amendments hereto and to perform the obligations of a Certificateholder as set forth therein or herein, in all respects as if it were a signatory hereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Security Insurer and all other Certificateholders present and future;

(b)

to hereby appoint the Seller so long as it is a Certificateholder as such Certificateholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact to sign any federal income tax information return filed on behalf of the Trust and agree that, if requested by the Trust, it will sign such federal income tax information return in its capacity as holder of an interest in the Trust. Each Certificateholder also hereby agrees that in its tax returns it will not take any position inconsistent with those taken in any tax returns filed by the Trust;

(c)

if such Certificateholder is other than an individual or other entity holding its Certificate through a broker who reports securities sales on Form 1099-B, to notify the Owner Trustee in writing of any transfer by it of a Certificate in a taxable sale or exchange, within 30 days of the date of the transfer; and

(d)

until the completion of the events specified in Section 9.1(e), not to, for any reason, institute proceedings for the Trust to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Trust, or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Trust or a substantial part of its property, or cause or permit the Trust to make any assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or declare or effect a moratorium on its debt or take any action in furtherance of any such action.

SECTION 2.13 Federal Income Tax Matters.

(a)

Treatment of Notes as Indebtedness. The Seller, the Owner Trustee and the Certificateholder intend and agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes and for purposes of applicable state or local income taxes, franchise taxes, and any other taxes imposed upon or measured by net income.

(b)

Allocations. Net income of the Trust for any month as determined for Federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss, credit and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated:

(i)

for so long as all of the Trust Certificates are owned by the Seller, the Trust shall be disregarded as an entity separate from the Seller such that net income of the Trust for any month as determined solely for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss, credit and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated to the Seller and treated in the same manner as if the Trust were a division or branch of the Seller; and

(ii)

in the event that the Seller transfers (as such term is defined for federal income tax purposes) any Trust Certificates and there is more than one owner of Trust Certificates for federal income tax purposes, net income of the Trust for any month as determined solely for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss, credit and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated pro rata to the Certificateholders based on their Percentage Interests.

(c)

Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding the above, if any Class of Notes is deemed for federal income tax purposes (or for purposes of any state, local, or other income tax, franchise tax or other tax imposed upon or measured by net income) to represent an equity interest in the Issuer, it is the intent and agreement of the parties hereto that the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by law, be treated for purposes of any such tax which treats Notes in such manner as a partnership among the affected Class of Noteholders and the Certificateholder. In the event such a partnership is deemed to exist, the net income of the Issuer for any month as determined for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated in such manner as to cause to the greatest extent possible the Certificateholder and each Noteholder to recognize net taxable income or loss at such time, and in such amounts, as each such person would have recognized such income or loss if such Notes had not been recharacterized as an equity interest in the Issuer.

ARTICLE III

Trust Certificates and Transfer of Interests

SECTION 3.1 Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.5 and until the issuance of the Trust Certificates, the Seller shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust.

SECTION 3.2 The Trust Certificates. The Trust Certificates shall be initially issued to the Seller as a single Certificate in a Percentage Interest of 100%. The Trust Certificate shall be divisible into denominations of a single class representing minimum Percentage Interests of not less than 5%. The Trust Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee shall have the power and authority and it is hereby authorized and empowered, in the name and on behalf of the Trust to authorize, execute, issue and deliver the Trust Certificates. Trust 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 Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates. A transferee of a Trust 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 Trust Certificate in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.4.

SECTION 3.3 Authentication of Trust Certificates. Concurrently with the initial sale of the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Trust Certificates in an aggregate Percentage Interest equal to 100% to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Seller, signed by its chairman of the board, its president or any vice president, without further corporate action by the Seller, in authorized denominations. No Trust Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Trust Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as the Owner Trustee’s authentication agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Trust Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Trust Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

SECTION 3.4 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Trust Certificates. The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Owner Trustee shall provide for the registration of the Trust Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of the Trust Certificates as herein provided. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas shall be the initial Certificate Registrar.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Trust Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, and, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Trust Certificates in authorized denominations of a like Percentage Interest dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. At the option of a Holder, the Trust Certificates may be exchanged for other Trust Certificates of the same class in authorized denominations of a like Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Trust Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8.

Every Trust 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 Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Certificate Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Certificate Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Each Trust Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Owner Trustee in accordance with its customary practice. In addition, each such Certificateholder shall comply with Section 2.12.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Trust Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may, but shall not be obligated to, 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 Trust Certificates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee need not make and the Certificate Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of, Trust Certificates for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to any Trust Certificates.

SECTION 3.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Trust Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee and (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) the Security Insurer, such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Certificate shall have been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee or Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as the Owner Trustee’s authenticating agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate, a new Trust Certificate of like Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may, but shall not be obligated to, require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 3.6 Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Every person by virtue of becoming a Certificateholder in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Prior to due presentation of a Trust Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Security Insurer and any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Security Insurer, may treat the Person in whose name any Trust Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register as the Holder of such Trust Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.2 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Security Insurer nor any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, or the Security Insurer shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.7 Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The Owner Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer, the Seller or (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) the Security Insurer and the Representative within 15 days after receipt by the Owner Trustee of a request therefore from the Servicer or the Representative in writing, a list, in such form as the Servicer may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. If three or more Holders of Trust Certificates or one or more Holders of Trust Certificates evidencing not less than a Percentage Interest of 25% apply in writing to the Owner Trustee, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Trust Certificates and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Owner Trustee 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 Trust Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Seller, the Servicer, the Representative, the Owner Trustee or the Security Insurer or any agent thereof 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 Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Trust Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Trust Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee initially designates Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as its principal corporate trust office for such purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Seller, the Certificateholders and (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) the Security Insurer of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

SECTION 3.9 Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.2 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee in writing, unless the Paying Agent is the Owner Trustee. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Owner Trustee 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. The Paying Agent shall initially be Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and any co-Paying Agent chosen by the Owner Trustee, and acceptable to the Servicer and the Security Insurer. The Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign upon 30 days’ written notice to the Owner Trustee and the Servicer. In the event that the Owner Trustee 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). The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by 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 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, 7.8, 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.

(b)

With the exception of the transfer to the Seller hereunder and any transfer to FCC Receivables Corp., the Trust Certificates may not be offered or sold except to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A thereunder.

Each purchaser of the Trust Certificates will be deemed to have represented and agreed as follows:

(i)

It is a Qualified Institutional Buyer as defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and is acquiring the Trust Certificates for its own institutional account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer.

(ii)

It understands that the Trust Certificates will be offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act, and that, if in the future it decides to resell, pledge or otherwise transfer any Trust Certificates, such Trust Certificates may be resold, pledged or transferred only (a) to the Issuer (upon redemption), (b) to a person who the seller reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer that purchases for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (c) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

(iii)

It understands that the Trust Certificates will bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

THE TRUST CERTIFICATES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING ANY TRUST CERTIFICATE, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUER THAT SUCH TRUST CERTIFICATE IS BEING ACQUIRED FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION AND MAY BE RESOLD, PLEDGED OR TRANSFERRED ONLY (1) TO THE ISSUER (UPON REDEMPTION THEREOF OR OTHERWISE), (2) TO A PERSON THE TRANSFEROR REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE RESALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A OR (3) IN A TRANSACTION COMPLYING WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

NO INTEREST IN THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE MAY BE ACQUIRED BY OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF (i) AN “EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN” (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3(3) OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED, (“ERISA”)) THAT IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF TITLE I OF ERISA, (ii) A PLAN DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4975(e)(1) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS AND XXXXX PLANS), OR (iii) ANY ENTITY WHOSE UNDERLYING ASSETS INCLUDE PLAN ASSETS BY REASON OF A PLAN’S INVESTMENT IN THE ENTITY. BY ACCEPTING AND HOLDING THIS CERTIFICATE, THE HOLDER HEREOF AND THE CERTIFICATE OWNER SHALL EACH BE DEEMED TO HAVE REPRESENTED AND WARRANTED THAT IT IS NOT A BENEFIT PLAN.

(c)

As a condition to the registration of any transfer of a Trust Certificate, the prospective transferee of such Trust Certificate shall represent to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar the following:

(i)

It has neither acquired nor will it transfer the Trust Certificate or cause the Trust Certificate to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code or a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(2) of the Code, including, without limitation, an over-the- counter-market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations.

(ii)

It either (A) is not, and will not become, a partnership, S corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (B) is such an entity, but none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in such transferee have allowed or caused, or will allow or cause, fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of such interests to be attributable to such transferee’s ownership of the Trust Certificate.

(iii)

It understands that tax counsel to the Trust has provided an opinion substantially to the effect that the Trust will not be a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that the validity of such opinion is dependent in part on the accuracy of the representations in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above.

ARTICLE V

Application of Trust Funds: Certain Duties

SECTION 5.1 Establishment of Certificate Distribution Account. (a) The Owner Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Security Insurer, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trust 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 and the Security Insurer.

(b)

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 Owner Trustee shall within 30 calendar days establish a new Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer or cause to be transferred any cash and/or any investments to such new Certificate Distribution Account.

(c)

All amounts held in the Certificate Distribution Account shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, be invested, by the Owner Trustee at the Servicer’s written direction (which may be by standing instructions), in Eligible Investments that mature not later than one Business Day prior to the Distribution Date for the Monthly Period to which such amounts relate. Investments in Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Trust, and such investments shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have sole control over each such investment and the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment, if any, shall be delivered directly to the Owner Trustee. All Investment Earnings on funds in the Certificate Distribution Account shall be distributed on the next Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Owner Trustee shall not be liable, either individually or in its capacity as Owner Trustee, for any losses arising from investments made in Eligible Investments.

SECTION 5.2 Application of Funds in Certificate Distribution Account. (a) On each Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee will cause the Paying Agent to, based on the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date pursuant to Section 4.9 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, distribute pro rata to Certificateholders based on their Percentage Interests, to the extent of the funds available, amounts deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Sections 5.6(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement on such Distribution Date.

(b)

On each Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent to send to each Certificateholder the statement provided to the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement on such Distribution Date.

(c)

In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’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. The Owner Trustee 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 Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee or any Certificateholder 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 Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a reasonable possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-US Certificateholder), the Owner Trustee may in it sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this clause (c). In the event that a Holder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Owner Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Owner Trustee for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred. The Servicer shall facilitate compliance with this Section 5.2(c) by performance of its duties under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 5.3 [Reserved]

SECTION 5.4 Method of Payment. Subject to Section 9.1(c), distributions required to be made to Certificateholders on any Distribution Date in accordance with Section 5.2(b) shall be made to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity, if (i) such Certificateholder shall have provided to the Certificate Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Distribution Date or (ii) such Certificateholder is the Seller, or as set forth in any written notice from the Seller to the Owner Trustee, an Affiliate thereof, or, if not, by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution in respect of any Trust Certificate (whether on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date or otherwise) will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Trust Certificate at the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 3.8.

SECTION 5.5 No Segregation of Monies; No Interest. Subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, monies received by the Owner Trustee 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. The Owner Trustee shall not be liable for any interest thereon.

SECTION 5.6 Accounting and Reports to the Noteholders, Certificateholders, the Internal Revenue Service and Others. In accordance with Sections 10.1(b)(iii) and 10.1(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall (a) maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the Trust on a year ended September 30 based 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, if applicable, 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 or cause to be filed, all tax returns, if any, relating to the Trust (including, if applicable, a partnership information return, Form 1065), to 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 division or branch of its 100% owner, or as a partnership, as the case may be, 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 the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall make all elections pursuant to this Section as directed by the Seller. The Owner Trustee shall, on behalf of the Trust and upon written direction of the Servicer, sign all tax information returns furnished to it in execution form by the Servicer, and filed pursuant to this Section 5.6 and any other returns as may be required by law and so furnished to it by the Servicer, and in doing so shall rely entirely upon, and shall have no liability for information provided by, or calculations provided by, the Servicer. In the event the Trust is characterized as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, the Servicer shall cause the Trust to elect under Section 1278 of the Code to include in income currently any market discount that accrues with respect to the Receivables, and the Trust shall not make the election provided under Section 754 of the Code. None of the parties hereto shall make the election provided in Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(c) to have the Trust classified as an association taxable as a corporation.

SECTION 5.7 Signature on Returns; Tax Matters Partner. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.6, the Owner Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust the tax returns of the Trust, if any, furnished to it in execution form by the Servicer, unless applicable law requires a Certificateholder to sign such documents, in which case such documents shall be signed by the Seller so long as it is a Certificateholder, in its capacity as “tax matters partner.”

(b)

In the event the Trust is characterized as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and the Seller is a Certificateholder, the Seller shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Trust pursuant to the Code.

ARTICLE VI

Authority and Duties of Owner Trustee

SECTION 6.1 General Authority. The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Trust is named as a party and each certificate or other document presented in connection therewith attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust is named as a party and any amendment thereto, in each case, in such form as the Seller shall approve as evidenced conclusively by the Owner Trustee’s execution thereof, and on behalf of the Trust, to direct the Trustee to authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $37,000,000, Class A-2 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $112,500,000, Class A-3 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $58,000,000 and Class A-4 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $110,500,000.

The Owner Trustee is further authorized from time to time to take such action as the Servicer recommends to it 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 Basic Documents to which the Trust is a party and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Certificateholders, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Basic Documents to the extent the Servicer has agreed in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or the Seller has agreed hereunder or thereunder, to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Owner Trustee hereunder or of the Trust under any Basic Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or failure of the Servicer or the Seller to carry out its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

(a) Subject to Article IV, the Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing) or the Certificateholders (if an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) (the “Instructing Party”) shall have the exclusive right to direct the actions of the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust.

(b)

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

(c)

Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Instructing Party 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 Instructing Party 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 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Security Insurer, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

(d)

In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or 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 Instructing Party requesting instruction and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such action or inaction, to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Security Insurer, 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 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 or termination 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 Securities and Exchange Commission filing for the Trust or to record this Agreement or any Basic Document. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any Liens on any part of the Owner Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee (solely in its individual capacity) and that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Owner Trust Estate.

SECTION 6.5 No Action Except under Specified Documents or Instructions.

The Certificateholder shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 6.7 Notice of Default Under Indenture. Within 10 business days of receipt of a written notice of Default under the Indenture by a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee, the Owner Trustee shall provide a copy of such notice to each Certificateholder.

SECTION 7.8 Payments from Owner Trust Estate. All payments to be made by the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents to which the Trust or the Owner Trustee is a party shall be made only from the income and proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate and only to the extent that the Trust shall have received income or proceeds from the Owner Trust Estate to make such payments in accordance with the terms hereof.

Dissolution and Termination of Trust

SECTION 9.1 Termination of Trust Agreement. (a) The Trust shall dissolve upon the latest of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Receivable (including the purchase by the Servicer at its option of the corpus of the Trust as described in Section 9.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) and the subsequent distribution of amounts in respect of such Receivables as provided in the Basic Documents or (ii) the payment to the holders of the Notes of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Indenture and the payment to the Security Insurer of all amounts payable or reimbursable to it; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by this Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living on the date of this Agreement of Xxxx Xxxxxxx of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and provided, further, that the rights to indemnification under Section 8.2 shall survive the termination of the Trust. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee and the Security Insurer of any prospective dissolution pursuant to this Section 9.1. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of any Certificateholder, or Holder, shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor (y) entitle such Certificateholder’s or Holder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Trust or Owner Trust Estate nor (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.

(b)

Except as provided in clause (a), neither the Seller nor any Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate the Trust.

(c)

Notice of any dissolution of the Trust, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Certificateholders shall surrender their Trust Certificates to 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 Distribution Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Trust Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Trust Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Trust Certificates at the office of 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 (if other than the Owner Trustee) at the time such notice is given to the Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of the Trust Certificates, the Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.2.

In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not have surrendered their Trust 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 Trust Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Trust 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 Trust Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid by the Seller from the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement.

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 (i) satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute; (ii) authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; and (iii) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 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 Servicer and the Security Insurer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee acceptable to the Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred) 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, provided that the Servicer shall have received written confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies that the proposed appointment will not result in an increased capital charge to the Security Insurer by either of the Rating Agencies. 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 or the Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred) 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 Servicer, 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 Servicer with the consent of the Security Insurer, or the Security Insurer (in each case, so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred) may remove the Owner Trustee. If the Servicer shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee acceptable to the Security Insurer by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed, one copy to the Security Insurer and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee and shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.3 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Servicer 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 Servicer, the Security Insurer and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement and the Servicer 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 Servicer shall mail notice thereof to all Certificateholders, the Security Insurer, the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Servicer 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 Servicer.

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 from 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, however, that 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; and provided further that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger, sale, conversion or consolidation to the Rating Agencies.

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 Servicer and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee and the Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred) 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 Owner Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee subject, unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the approval of the Security Insurer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 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 Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

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

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

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

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Servicer shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each Certificateholder, the Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies.

(c)

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholders, the Noteholders or the Trustee pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

The Servicer shall furnish copies of any such amendments to this Agreement to each Rating Agency and the Security Insurer.

FRANKLIN AUTO TRUST 2003-1

ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in certain distributions of the Trust, as defined below, the property of which includes a pool of motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts secured by new and used automobiles and light trucks, and sold to the Trust by Franklin Receivables LLC.

(This Trust Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of Franklin Receivables LLC or any of its Affiliates, except to the extent described below.)

THIS CERTIFIES THAT FRANKLIN RECEIVABLES LLC is the registered owner of 100% Percentage Interest nonassessable, fully-paid, beneficial ownership interest in Franklin Auto Trust 2003-1 (the “Trust”) formed by Franklin Receivables LLC, a limited liability company (the “Seller”).

The Trust is existing pursuant to the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2003 (the “Trust Agreement”), between the Seller and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, not in its individual capacity but solely as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement.

This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Trust Certificates designated as “Asset Backed Certificates” (herein called the “Trust Certificates”). Under the Indenture dated as of June 1, 2003, between the Trust and The Bank of New York as trustee and indenture collateral agent, the Trust also issued four classes of Notes designated as “Class A-1 1.25% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class A-1 Notes”), “Class A-2 1.31% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class A-2 Notes”), “Class A-3 1.65% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class A-3 Notes”) and “Class A-4 2.27% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class A-4 Notes” and together with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, and the Class A-3 Notes, the “Notes”). This Trust Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Trust Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. The property of the Trust includes a pool of prime, non-prime and sub-prime motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts secured by new and used automobiles and light trucks, (the “Receivables”), all monies received on the Receivables on or after the Initial Cutoff Date, in the case of Initial Receivables, and on or after the Subsequent Cutoff Date in the case of any Subsequent Receivables, security interests in the vehicles financed thereby, certain bank accounts and the proceeds thereof, proceeds from claims on certain insurance policies and certain other rights under the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

Under the Trust Agreement, there will be distributed on the 20th day of each month or, if such 20th day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day (the “Distribution Date”), commencing in July 2003 to the Person in whose name this Trust Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the Distribution Date (the “Record Date”) such Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest in the amount to be distributed to Certificateholders on such Distribution Date.

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

It is the intent of the Seller, the Owner Trustee, and the Certificateholders that, for purposes of Federal income taxes, and to the extent permitted by law, for purposes of applicable state income or franchise tax, the Trust will be disregarded as an entity apart from its owner if there is only one owner for Federal income tax purposes, or, if there is more than one owner for Federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a partnership the partners of which are the Certificateholders, provided, however, that if any Class of Notes is deemed for federal income tax purposes (or for purposes of any state, local or other income tax, franchise tax or other tax imposed upon or measured by net income) to represent an equity interest in the Trust, it is the intent and agreement of the parties hereto that the Trust shall, to the extent permitted by law, be treated for purposes of any such tax which treats Notes in such manner as a partnership among the affected Class of Noteholders and the Certificateholder. The Certificateholders by acceptance of a Trust Certificate, agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Trust and the Trust Certificates for such tax purposes as just described.

Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Certificate, represents that (i) it has neither acquired nor will it transfer the Trust Certificate or cause the Trust Certificate to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code or a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(2) of the Code, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter-market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations; (ii) it either (A) is not, and will not become, a partnership, S corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (B) is such an entity, but none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in such transferee have allowed or caused, or will allow or cause, fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of such interests to be attributable to such transferee’s ownership of the Trust Certificate; and (iii) it understands that tax counsel to the Trust has provided an opinion substantially to the effect that the Trust will not be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that the validity of such opinion is dependent in part on the accuracy of the representations in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above.

Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not at any time institute against the Trust or the Seller, or join in any institution against the Trust or the Seller of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Trust Certificates, the Notes, the Trust Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.

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

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

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

THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Trust Certificate to be duly executed.

(Reverse of Trust Certificate)

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

The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Seller and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Seller and the Owner Trustee with the prior written consent of the Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing) and with the consent of the holders of the Notes and the Trust Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes and a majority in Percentage Interest of the Certificates. Any such consent by the holder of this Trust Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such holder and on all future holders of this Trust Certificate and of any Trust Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Trust Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the holders of any of the Trust Certificates.

As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Trust Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Trust Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained by the Owner Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Trust Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas.

As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Trust Certificates are exchangeable for new Trust Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as requested by the holder surrendering the same.

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

The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the person in whose name this Trust Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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