Section 2.5. Contribution and Conveyance of Trust Property. As of the date of the formation of the Issuer, the Depositor contributed to the Owner Trustee the amount of $1.

Section 2.9. Situs of Issuer. The Issuer will be administered in the States of Delaware and Illinois. All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer will be located in the State of Delaware.

Section 2.10. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The Depositor represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee as of the Closing Date:

(a) Organization and Qualification. The Depositor is duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Depositor is qualified as a foreign limited liability company in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its properties or the conduct of its activities requires such qualification, license or approval, unless the failure to obtain such qualifications, licenses or approvals would not have a material adverse effect on the Depositor’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(b) Power, Authorization and Enforceability. The Depositor has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms of this Agreement. The Depositor has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of the terms of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Depositor is

a party is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor enforceable against the Depositor, except as may be limited by insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equitable principles.

(c) No Conflicts and No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which the Depositor is a party and the fulfillment of the terms of the Transaction Documents to which the Depositor is a party will not: (i) conflict with or result in a material breach of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee or similar agreement or instrument under which the Depositor is a debtor or guarantor, (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Depositor pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee or similar agreement or instrument (other than this Agreement), (iii) violate the Certificate of Formation or Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Depositor, or (iv) violate any law or, to 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, in each case which conflict, breach, default, Lien, or violation would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Depositor’s ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(d) No Proceedings. To the Depositor’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or overtly threatened in writing, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of any of the Transaction Documents or the Notes, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Depositor’s ability to perform its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, any of the Transaction Documents or the Notes, or (iv) that would reasonably be expected to (A) affect the treatment of the Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal income or Applicable Tax State income or franchise tax purposes, (B) be deemed to cause a taxable exchange of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (C) cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in each case, other than such proceedings that, to the Depositor’s knowledge, would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Depositor or materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity and enforceability of, the Transaction Documents or the Notes or materially and adversely affect the tax treatment of the Issuer or the Notes.

Section 2.11. Tax Matters.

(a) It is the intention of the parties and Ford Credit that, for purposes of U.S. federal income, State and local income and franchise tax and any other income taxes, so long as the Issuer has no equity owner other than the Depositor (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), the Issuer will be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from the Depositor. If beneficially owned by a Person other than Ford Credit, each Class of Notes is intended to be treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Depositor agrees, and the

Noteholders by acceptance of their Notes agree in the Indenture, to such treatment and each agrees to take no action inconsistent with such treatment.

(b) If one or more Classes of Notes is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Issuer, and not as indebtedness (any such Class, a “Recharacterized Class”) and any such Recharacterized Class is treated as not owned by Ford Credit or the Depositor (if the Depositor is not an entity disregarded as separate from Ford Credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes) for U.S. federal income, or State or local income or franchise tax purposes, the parties intend that the Issuer be characterized as a partnership among Ford Credit or the Depositor (to the extent either is at that time treated as an equity owner of the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes), any other holder of the Residual Interest and any holders of the Recharacterized Class or Classes. In that event, for purposes of U.S. federal income, State and local income or franchise tax each month:

(i) amounts paid as interest to holders of any Recharacterized Class will be treated as a guaranteed payment within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code;

(ii) to the extent the characterization provided for in Section 2.11(a) is not respected, gross ordinary income of the Issuer for such month as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be allocated to the holders of each Recharacterized Class as of the Record Date occurring within such month, in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the interest accrued to such Recharacterized Class for such month, (B) the portion of the market discount on the Receivables accrued during such month that is allocable to the excess, if any, of the aggregate initial Note Balance of such Recharacterized Class over the initial aggregate issue price of the Notes of such Recharacterized Class and (C) any amount expected to be distributed to the holders of such Class of Notes pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Indenture (to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to this Section 2.11(b)(ii)) to the extent necessary to reverse any net loss previously allocated to holders of the Notes of such Recharacterized Class (to the extent not previously reversed pursuant to this Section 2.11(b)(ii)(C)); and

(iii) thereafter all remaining net income of the Issuer (subject to the modifications set forth below) for such month as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, credit, loss or deduction entering into the computation thereof) will be allocated to the holder of the Residual Interest.

If the gross ordinary income of the Issuer for any month is insufficient for the allocations described in Section 2.11(b)(ii) above, subsequent gross ordinary income will first be allocated to each Recharacterized Class in alphabetical order (if applicable) to make up such shortfall before any allocation pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(iii). Net losses of the Issuer, if any, for any month as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, credit, loss or deduction entering into the computation thereof) will be allocated to the holder of the Residual Interest to the extent the holder of the Residual Interest is reasonably expected to bear the economic burden of such net losses, and any remaining net losses will be allocated in reverse alphabetical order (if applicable) to each Recharacterized Class, in each case, until the Note Balance of such Recharacterized Class is reduced to zero as of the Record Date occurring within such month, and among each Recharacterized Class, in proportion to their ownership of the

aggregate Note Balance of such Recharacterized Class on such Record Date. The tax matters partner designated pursuant to Section 2.11(f) is authorized to modify the allocations in this Section 2.11(b) if necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, for the allocations to fairly reflect the economic income, gain or loss to the holder of the Residual Interest or the holders of a Recharacterized Class or as otherwise required by the Code.

(c) The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by the appropriate tax authorities, the Depositor, on behalf of the Issuer, will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterizations described in Section 2.11(a).

(d) The Owner Trustee will not elect or cause the Issuer to elect, and the other parties to this Agreement will not elect or permit an election to be made, to treat the Issuer as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3.

(e) If at any time the Issuer is not treated as an entity disregarded as separate from the Depositor for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Owner Trustee will, based on information provided by or on behalf of the Depositor, (i) maintain the books of the Issuer on the basis of a calendar year and the accrual method of accounting, (ii) deliver to the holder of the Residual Interest such information as may be required under the Code to enable such holder to prepare its U.S. federal and State income tax returns, (iii) file any tax returns relating to the Issuer and make such elections as may be required or appropriate under any applicable U.S. federal or State statute and (iv) collect any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with Section 4.1(c).

(f) If at any time the Issuer is not treated as an entity disregarded as separate from the Depositor for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Depositor so long as it is treated as holding any equity interest in the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and otherwise, the owner of such equity interests designated by a majority of such owners, will (i) prepare and sign, on behalf of the Issuer, the tax returns of the Issuer and (ii) be designated the “tax matters partner” of the Issuer pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7)(A) of the Code.

ARTICLE III
RESIDUAL INTEREST AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

Section 3.1. The Residual Interest.

(a) Upon the formation of the Issuer by the contribution and conveyance by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.5, the Depositor will be the sole holder of the Residual Interest. The holder of the Residual Interest will be entitled, pro rata, to any amounts not needed on any Payment Date to make payments on the Notes and on all other obligations to be paid under the Indenture and this Agreement, and to receive amounts remaining in the Reserve Account following the payment in full of the Notes and of all other amounts owing or to be distributed under this Agreement, the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the Secured Parties upon the termination of the Issuer.

(b) The Depositor may exchange its Residual Interest for additional securities issued by the Issuer pursuant to one or more supplemental indentures to the Indenture or amendments to

this Agreement. Such additional securities may consist of one or more classes of notes, certificates or other securities, as directed by the Depositor, each having the characteristics, rights and obligations as may be directed by the Depositor (which may include subordination to one or more other classes of such additional securities); provided:

(i) the Depositor delivers, or causes the Administrator to deliver, to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the issuance of such additional securities will not have a material adverse effect on the Notes;

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

(iii) the Depositor either delivers to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee (A) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, after giving effect to such exchange, there will be no withholding imposed under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the Code in respect of payments on any such additional security or that the withholding tax imposed will be no greater than the withholding tax imposed prior to such exchange or (B) an Officer’s Certificate that states withholding is applicable to payments on any such additional securities, the rate of withholding tax required on such payments, and that such amounts will be withheld and remitted to the Internal Revenue Service in satisfaction of the requirements of Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

Without limiting the foregoing, one or more classes of such additional securities may, if so directed by the Depositor, be secured by all or a portion of the Trust Property, so long as such security interest is subordinated in priority to the security interest granted to the Secured Parties pursuant to the Indenture. Subject to this Section 3.1(b) and the other terms of the Transaction Documents, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, will take (at the expense of the Depositor) all actions requested by the Depositor to facilitate the issuance and sale of any such additional securities or the Grant and perfection of any security interest granted pursuant to this Section 3.1(b), including the authorization of the filing of any financing statements in jurisdictions deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositor to perfect such security interest.

Section 3.2. Registration of Residual Interests; Transfer of the Residual Interest. The Issuer appoints the Owner Trustee to be the “Trust Registrar” and to keep a register (the “Trust Register”) for the purpose of registering Residual Interests and transfers of Residual Interests as provided in this Agreement. Upon any resignation of the Trust Registrar, the Issuer will promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Trust Registrar. The holder of the Residual Interest will be permitted to sell, transfer, assign or convey its rights in the Residual Interest to any Person if the following conditions are satisfied:

(a) such holder of the Residual Interest delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such action will not cause the Issuer to be or become

characterized for U.S. federal or any then Applicable Tax State income tax purposes as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation;

(b) such holder of the Residual Interest delivers to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee (i) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, after giving effect to such action, there will be no withholding imposed under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the Code in respect of payments on any such transferred security or that the withholding tax imposed will be no greater than the withholding tax imposed prior to such transfer or (ii) an Officer’s Certificate that states withholding is applicable to payments on any such transferred security, the rate of withholding tax required on such payments, and that such amounts will be withheld and remitted to the Internal Revenue Service in satisfaction of the requirements of Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code;

(c) the Depositor has notified the transferee or assignee of the Residual Interest of the tax positions previously taken by it, as holder of the Residual Interest, for U.S. federal and any Applicable Tax State income tax purposes and the transferee or assignee has agreed to take positions for U.S. federal and any Applicable Tax State income tax purposes consistent with the tax positions previously taken by the Depositor, as holder of the Residual Interest;

(d) the holder or assignee of the Residual Interest delivers to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee a certification that it is not, and is not acting on behalf of or investing the assets of (i) an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (iii) an entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of a plan’s investment in the entity (within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 or otherwise under ERISA), or (iv) an employee benefit plan or retirement arrangement that is subject to any Similar Law; and

(e) if the assignee of the Residual Interest is Ford Credit or an Affiliate of Ford Credit that is not a special-purpose, bankruptcy remote entity, the holder of the Residual Interest provides evidence of satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.

Section 3.3. Capital Accounts. This Section 3.3 will apply only if the Issuer is not treated as an entity disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(a) The Owner Trustee will establish and maintain, in accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations, a separate bookkeeping account (a “Capital Account”) for the Depositor and each other person treated as an equity owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3 regarding the maintenance of Capital Accounts will be construed so as to comply with the provisions of the Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 704 of the Code. The Depositor is authorized to modify these provisions to the minimum extent necessary to comply with such regulations.

Section 3.4. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Owner Trustee will maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee

in respect of the Transaction Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee designates its Corporate Trust Office for such purposes and will promptly notify the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee of any change in the location of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 3.5. Distributions to the Holder of the Residual Interest. If the Trust Distribution Account has been established, the Owner Trustee will have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Trust Distribution Account for the purpose of making distributions to the holder of the Residual Interest under this Agreement. The Owner Trustee will make the distributions pursuant to Sections 3.1, 4.1, 4.2 and 8.1. The Owner Trustee will hold all sums held by it for distribution to the holder of the Residual Interest in trust for the benefit of the holder of the Residual Interest until such sums are distributed to the holder of the Residual Interest.

ARTICLE IV
APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES

Section 4.1. Application of Trust Funds. Upon request of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee will establish and maintain the Trust Distribution Account as provided in Section 4.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. If the Trust Distribution Account has been established:

(a) On each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee, based on the information contained in the Monthly Investor Report, will withdraw the amounts deposited into the Trust Distribution Account pursuant to Sections 8.2(c)(xiii), 8.2(d)(viii) and 8.2(e)(xiv) of the Indenture on or before such Payment Date and distribute such amounts to the holder of the Residual Interest.

(b) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the payment in full of the principal and interest on the Notes, the Owner Trustee will distribute any remaining funds in the Trust Distribution Account to the holder of the Residual Interest.

(c) If any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer’s payment (or allocations of income) to the holder of the Residual Interest, such tax will reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such holder in accordance with this Section 4.1(c). The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the holder of the Residual Interest sufficient funds for the payment of any such withholding tax that is legally owed by the Issuer (but such authorization will 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 the holder of the Residual Interest will be treated as cash distributed to such holder at the time it is withheld by the Issuer and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution, the Owner Trustee may, in its sole discretion, withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 4.1(c). If the holder of a Residual Interest wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Owner Trustee will reasonably cooperate with such holder in making such claim so long as such holder agrees to reimburse the Owner Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in so cooperating.

Section 4.2. Method of Payment. Distributions required to be made to the holder of the Residual Interest on any Payment Date will be made by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account specified by such holder to the Owner Trustee.

ARTICLE V
AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF THE OWNER TRUSTEE

Section 5.1. General Authority.

(a) Upon the Depositor’s execution of this Agreement, the Owner Trustee is authorized and directed, on behalf of the Issuer, to (i) execute and deliver the Transaction Documents and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which the Issuer is to be a party and (ii) direct the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Notes.

(b) The Owner Trustee is authorized to take all actions required of the Issuer pursuant to the Transaction Documents and is authorized to take such action on behalf of the Issuer as is permitted by the Transaction Documents that the Servicer or the Administrator directs with respect to the Transaction Documents, except to the extent that this Agreement requires the consent of the Noteholders or the holder of the Residual Interest for such action.

Section 5.2. General Duties. Subject to Section 5.3, it is the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge all of its responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which the Issuer is a party and to administer the Issuer in the interest of the holder of the Residual Interest, subject to the Lien of the Indenture and in accordance with the Transaction Documents. The Owner Trustee will be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities under the Transaction Documents to the extent the Administrator is required in the Administration Agreement to perform any act or to discharge such duty of the Owner Trustee or the Issuer under any Transaction Document. The Owner Trustee will not be held liable for the default or failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Administration Agreement.

No implied duties or obligations will be read into any Transaction Document against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee has no responsibility for filing any financing statements or continuation statements or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or Lien granted to it under this Agreement or to prepare or file any Securities and Exchange Commission filing for the Issuer or to record any Transaction Document. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will promptly take, at its own cost and expense, all action as may be necessary to discharge any Lien (other than the Lien of the Indenture) on any part of the Trust Property that results from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Trust Property.

Section 5.8. No Action Except Under Specified Documents or Instructions.

payments of fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee in connection with such performance and (c) any claim made by the Owner Trustee under this Agreement. In addition, the Owner Trustee will permit such representatives to make copies and extracts of any such books and records and to discuss the same with the Owner Trustee’s officers and employees. Each of the Servicer and the Administrator will, and will cause its authorized representatives to, hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Servicer or the Administrator, as the case may be, may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations under this Agreement. The Owner Trustee will maintain all such pertinent books, records, reports and other documents and materials for a period of two years after the termination of its obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
COMPENSATION AND INDEMNIFICATION OF THE OWNER TRUSTEE; ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES

Section 7.1. Owner Trustee’s Fees and Expenses. The Issuer will, or will cause the Administrator to, pay the Owner Trustee as compensation for its services under this Agreement such fees as have been separately agreed upon by the Administrator and the Owner Trustee. The Issuer will reimburse the Owner Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by the Owner Trustee in performing its rights and duties under this Agreement, including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Owner Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts, but excluding any expenses incurred by the Owner Trustee through the Owner Trustee’s own willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence (other than errors in judgment).

Section 7.2. Indemnification of the Owner Trustee.

(a) The Depositor will, or will cause the Administrator to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Owner Trustee, and its respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Owner Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts) incurred by it in connection with the administration of and the performance of its duties under this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any loss, damage, claim or liability incurred by it in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under the Indenture, but excluding any cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or liability (i) incurred by the Owner Trustee through the Owner Trustee’s own willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence (other than errors in judgment) or (ii) arising from the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 6.2.

(b) Promptly upon receipt by the Owner Trustee, or any of its officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against any such Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect of such Proceeding is to be made under Section 7.2(a), notify the Depositor and the Administrator of the commencement of such Proceeding. The Depositor, or, if the Depositor so causes, the Administrator, may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of any such Proceeding at its expense, and no settlement of such Proceeding may be made without the approval of the Depositor or the Administrator, as applicable, and such Indemnified Person, which approvals will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. After notice from the Depositor or the Administrator, as applicable, to the Indemnified Person of the intention of the Depositor or the Administrator, as applicable, to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and so long as the Depositor or the Administrator, as applicable, so assumes the defense of such Proceeding in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, neither the Depositor nor the Administrator will be liable for any legal expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person unless there is a conflict between the interests of the Depositor or the Administrator, as applicable, on one hand, and an Indemnified Person, on the other hand, in which case the Depositor, or, if Depositor so causes, the Administrator, will pay for the separate counsel to the Indemnified Person.

(c) The Depositor’s obligations under this Section 7.2 are obligations solely of the Depositor and do not constitute a claim against the Depositor to the extent that the Depositor does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations. The Owner Trustee, by entering into or accepting this Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that it has no right, title or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Depositor. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Owner Trustee either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, the Other Assets or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from the Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code), then the Owner Trustee further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from the Other Assets is expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of the other obligations and liabilities, which, under the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled

to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Depositor), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement is deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Owner Trustee further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 7.2(c) and this Section 7.2(c) may be enforced by an action for specific performance. This Section 7.2(c) is for the third party benefit of the holders of such other obligations and liabilities and will survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.3. Organizational Expenses of the Issuer. The Depositor will, or will cause the Administrator to, pay the organizational expenses of the Issuer as they may arise or, upon the request of the Owner Trustee, the Depositor will, or will cause the Administrator to, promptly reimburse the Owner Trustee for any such expenses paid by the Owner Trustee.

resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee is a party or (c) succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee will, provided such Person is eligible pursuant to Section 9.1, be the successor of the Owner Trustee under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any document or any further act (except as required under this Section 9.4); provided, that the Owner Trustee (i) notifies the Issuer (who will notify the Rating Agencies) of such merger or consolidation within 15 Business Days of such event and (ii) files a certificate of amendment to the Certificate of Trust as required by Section 9.3(d).

Section 9.5. Appointment of Separate Trustee or Co-Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property or any Financed Vehicle may be located, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly will have the power and will execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as a separate trustee or as separate trustees, or as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, of all or any part of the Issuer, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Property, or any part thereof, and, subject to this Section 9.5, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the Owner Trustee consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator has not joined in such appointment within 15 Business Days of its receipt of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee will have the power to make such appointment. No separate trustee or co-trustee under this Agreement will be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 9.1 and no notice of the appointment of any separate trustee or co-trustee is required.

(b) Each separate trustee and co-trustee will, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following:

(i) all rights, powers, duties, and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee will 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 is 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 Property or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) may 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 will 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 accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee will 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 must refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, will 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 in such instrument, subject to this Agreement. The Owner Trustee will keep a copy of each such instrument in its files and will deliver a copy of each such instrument to the Administrator.

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may 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 dies, becomes incapable of acting, resigns or is removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts will vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Section 9.6. Compliance with Delaware Statutory Trust Act. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Issuer must have at least one trustee that meets the requirements of Section 3807(a) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act.

(b) This Agreement may be amended by the holder of the Residual Interest and the Owner Trustee, with prior notice by the Administrator to the Rating Agencies, without the consent of any of the Noteholders, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or issuing securities in exchange for all or a portion of the Residual Interest, subject to the following conditions:

(i) such holder delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not have a material adverse effect on the Notes;

However, no amendment may (A) increase or reduce the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, or change the allocation or priority of, collections of payments on Receivables or distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of the Secured Parties or (B) reduce the percentage of the Note Balance of the Notes Outstanding required to consent to any such amendment, in each case, without the consent of all affected Noteholders.

(e) If the consent of the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee is required under this Section 10.1, they do not need to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent so long as their consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment or consent.

Section 10.2. No Legal Title to Trust Property in the Holder of the Residual Interest. The holder of the Residual Interest has no legal title to any part of the Trust Property. The holder of the Residual Interest is entitled to receive distributions with respect to its Residual Interest only in accordance with Article VIII of the Indenture. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any right, title, or interest of the Depositor to and in the Residual Interest in the Trust Property will operate to terminate this Agreement or the trusts under this Agreement or entitle any transferee to an accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Trust Property.

Except for Sections 2.6, 7.2 and 10.1, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, the Administrator, the Servicer, the holder of the Residual Interest and, to the extent provided in this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee and the Secured Parties, and nothing in this Agreement (other than Section 2.6), whether express or implied, will be construed to give to any other Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim in the Trust Property or under or in respect of this Agreement or any covenants, conditions or provisions contained in this Agreement.
