knowledge of the Seller, investigations pending or threatened against the
Seller before any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of
this Agreement, the applicable Supplement, any of the Related Documents
or the Certificates, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the
Certificates or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated

creditors' rights in general and except as such enforceability may be

(i) Record of Accounts. As of the first Closing Date, in the case of
the Initial Accounts, as of the applicable Addition Date, in the case of
the Additional Accounts, and, as of the applicable Removal Commencement
Date, in the case of Designated Accounts, Schedule 1 to this Agreement is
an accurate and complete listing in all material respects of all the
Accounts as of the Cut-Off Date, the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date
or the applicable Removal Commencement Date, as the case may be, and the
information contained therein with respect to the identity of such
Accounts and the Receivables existing thereunder is true and correct in
all material respects as of the Cut-Off Date, such applicable Additional
Cut-Off Date or such Removal Commencement Date, as the case may be.
(j) Valid Transfer. This Agreement or, in the case of Additional
Accounts, the related Assignment constitutes a valid sale, transfer and
assignment to the Trust of all right, title and interest of the Seller in
the Receivables and the Collateral Security and the proceeds thereof and
all of the Seller's rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect
to the Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and, upon the
filing of the financing statements described in Section 2.01 with the
Secretary of State of the State of Michigan and, in the case of the
Receivables hereafter created and the proceeds thereof, upon the creation
thereof, the Trust shall have a first priority perfected ownership
interest in such property, subject to the rights of the Purchased
Receivables Owners in any Collateral Security in respect of the Partial
Accounts (other than the Vehicles relating to Principal Receivables
arising in the Partial Accounts), except for Liens permitted under
Section 2.07(a). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither
the Seller nor any Person claiming through or under the Seller has any
claim to or interest in the Trust Assets.
The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03
shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Trust and
the issuance of the Certificates. Upon discovery by the Seller, the Servicer,
any Agent or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations
and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties, any Agent and to any Enhancement Providers.
In the event of any breach of any of the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 having a material adverse effect on
the interests of the Investor Certificateholders, then either the Trustee or
the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing not less than a majority in
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Investor Certificates, by
notice then given in writing to the Seller (and to the Trustee, any
Enhancement Providers and the Servicer if given by the Investor
Certificateholders), may direct the Seller to purchase the Certificateholders'
Interest within 60 days of such notice (or within such longer period as may be
specified in such notice), and the Seller shall be obligated to make such
purchase on a Distribution Date occurring within such 60-day period on the
terms and conditions set forth below; provided, however, that no such purchase
shall be required to be made if, by the end of such 60-day period (or such
longer period as may be specified), the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.03 shall be satisfied in all material respects, and
any material adverse effect on the Certificateholders' Interest caused thereby
shall have been cured.
The Seller shall deposit in the Collection Account in immediately
available funds on the Business Day preceding such Distribution Date, in
payment for such purchase, an amount equal to the sum of the amounts specified
therefor with respect to each outstanding Series in the related Supplement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such amounts shall
be distributed to the Investor Certificateholders on such Distribution Date in
accordance with Article IV and the terms of each Supplement. If the Trustee or
the Investor Certificateholders give notice directing the Seller to purchase
the Certificateholders' Interest as provided above, the obligation of the
Seller to purchase the Certificateholders' Interest pursuant to this Section
2.03 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting an event of the type
specified in the first sentence of this Section 2.03 available to the Investor
Certificateholders (or the Trustee on behalf of the Investor
Certificateholders).
SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Seller Relating
to the Receivables. (a) Representations and Warranties. The Seller hereby
represents and warrants to the Trust that:
(i) Each Receivable and all Collateral security existing on the
first Closing Date or, in the case of Additional Accounts, on the
applicable Addition Date, and on each Transfer Date, has been conveyed to
the Trust free and clear of any Lien, subject to the rights of the
Purchased Receivables Owners in any Collateral Security in respect of the
Partial Accounts (other than the Vehicles relating to Principal
Receivables arising in the Partial Accounts).
(ii) With respect to each Receivable and all Collateral Security
existing on the first Closing Date or, in the case of Additional
Accounts, on the applicable Addition Date, and on each Transfer Date, all
consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of or registrations or
declarations with any Governmental Authority required to be obtained,
effected or given by the Seller in connection with the conveyance of such
Receivable or Collateral Security to the Trust have been duly obtained,
effected or given and are in full force and effect.
(iii) On the Cut-Off Date and each Closing Date, each Initial
Account is an Eligible Account and, in the case of Additional Accounts,
on the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date and each subsequent Closing
Date, each such Additional Account is an Eligible Account.
(iv) On the first Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts,
and, in the case of the Additional Accounts; on the applicable Additional
Cut-Off Date, and on each Transfer Date, each Receivable conveyed to the
Trust on such date is an Eligible Receivable or, if such Receivable is
not an Eligible Receivable, such Receivable is conveyed to the Trust in
accordance with Section 2.09.
(b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set forth in
this Section 2.04 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables
to the Trust and the issuance of the Certificates. Upon discovery by the
Seller, the Servicer, any Agent or the Trustee of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties
and to any Enhancement Providers.
(c) Reassignment. In the event any representation or warranty under
Section 2.04 (a) is not true and correct as of the date specified therein with
respect to any Receivable or Account and such breach has a material adverse
effect on the Certificateholders' Interest in any such Receivable or Account,
then, within 30 days (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the
Trustee) of the earlier to occur of the discovery of any such event by the
Seller or the Servicer, or receipt by the Seller or the Servicer of written
notice of any such event given by the Trustee, any Agent or any Enhancement
Providers, the Seller shall accept a reassignment of such Receivable or, in
the case of such an untrue representation or warranty with respect to an
Account, all Receivables in such Account, on the Determination Date
immediately succeeding the day of such discovery or notice on the terms and
conditions set forth in the next succeeding paragraph; provided, however, that
no such reassignment shall be required to be made with respect to such
Receivable if, by the end of such 30-day period (or such longer period as may
be agreed to by the Trustee), the breached representation or warranty shall
then be true and correct in all material respects and any material adverse
effect caused thereby shall have been cured.
The Seller shall accept a reassignment of each such Receivable by
directing the Servicer to deduct, subject to the next sentence, the principal
amount of such Receivables from the Pool Balance on or prior to the end of the
Collection Period in which such reassignment obligation arises. If, following
such deduction, the Seller's Participation Amount would be less than the Trust
Available Subordinated Amount on the immediately preceding Determination Date
(after giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and
deposits to be made on the Distribution Date following such Determination
Date), then not later than 12:00 noon on the day on which such reassignment
occurs, the Seller shall deposit in the Collection Account in immediately
available funds the amount (the "Transfer Deposit Amount") by which the
Seller's Participation Amount would be less than such Trust Available
Subordinated Amount (up to the principal amount of such Receivables); provided
that if the Transfer Deposit Amount is not deposited as required by this
sentence, then the principal amounts of such Receivables shall only be
deducted from the Pool Balance to the extent that the Seller's Participation
Amount is not reduced below the Trust Available Subordinated Amount and the
Receivables the principal amounts of which have not been so deducted shall not
be reassigned to the Seller and shall remain part of the Trust. Upon
reassignment of any such Receivable, but only after payment by the Seller of
the Transfer Deposit Amount, if any, the Trust shall automatically and without
further action be deemed to sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise
convey to the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the
right, title and interest of the Trust in and to such Receivable, all
Collateral Security and all moneys due or to become due with respect thereto
and all proceeds thereof. The Trustee shall execute such documents and
instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall
reasonably be requested by the Seller to effect the conveyance of such
Receivables pursuant to this Section. The obligation of the Seller to accept a
reassignment of any such Receivable and to pay any related Transfer Deposit
Amount shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to
such obligation available to Certificateholders (or the Trustee on behalf of
Certificateholders).
SECTION 2.05. Addition of Accounts. (a) If, as of the close of
business on the last day of any Collection Period, (i) the Pool Balance on
such day is less than the Required Participation Amount as of the following
Distribution Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions,
withdrawals and deposits to be made on such Distribution Date), or (ii) the
result obtained by multiplying (x) the Seller's Participation Amount as of the
following Distribution Date (after giving effect to the allocations,
distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on such Distribution Date),
by (y) the percentage equivalent of the portion of the Seller's Interest
represented by the CARCO Certificate, is less than 2% of the Pool Balance on
such last day, then the Seller shall, within 10 Business Days following the
end of such Collection Period, designate and transfer to the Trust the
Receivables (and the related Collateral Security) of additional Eligible
Accounts of the Seller to be included as Accounts in a sufficient amount such
that after giving effect to such addition (i) the Pool Balance as of the close
of business on the Addition Date is at least equal to such Required
Participation Amount or (ii) the result obtained by multiplying (x) such
Seller's Participation Amount by (y) the percentage equivalent of the portion
of the Seller's Interest represented by the CARCO Certificate, is at least
equal to 2% of such Pool Balance, as the case may be. The Seller shall satisfy
the conditions specified in Section 2.05(d) in designating such Additional
Accounts and conveying the related Receivables to the Trust. The failure of
the Seller to transfer Receivables to the Trust as provided in this paragraph
solely as a result of the unavailability of a sufficient amount of Eligible
Receivables shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement; provided,
however, that any such failure will nevertheless result in the occurrence of
an Early Amortization Event described in Section 9.01(a).
(b) The Seller may from time to time, at its sole discretion, subject
to the conditions specified in paragraph (d) below, voluntarily designate
additional Eligible Accounts (including Partial Accounts) to be included as
Accounts and transfer to the Trust the Receivables (and the related Collateral
Security) of such Additional Accounts.
(c) Receivables and Collateral Security from such Additional Accounts
shall be sold to the Trust effective on a date (the "Addition Date") specified
in a written notice provided by the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) to
the Trustee, the Rating Agencies, any Agent and any Enhancement Providers
specifying the Additional Cut-Off Date and the Addition Date for such
Additional Accounts (the "Addition Notice") on or before the fifth Business
Day but not more than the 30th day prior to the related Addition Date (the
"Notice Date"). The Addition Notice shall also specify whether any such
Additional Accounts are Partial Accounts.
(d) The Seller shall be permitted to convey to the Trust the
Receivables and all Collateral Security related thereto in any Additional
Accounts designated by the Seller as such pursuant to Section 2.05(a) or (b)
only upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to the
related Addition Date:
(i) the Seller shall have provided the Trustee, any Agent, the
Rating Agencies and any Enhancement Providers with a timely Addition
Notice;
(ii) such Additional Accounts shall all be Eligible Accounts;
(iii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee a duly executed
written assignment (including an acceptance by the Trustee) in
substantially the form of Exhibit B (the "Assignment") and the computer
file or microfiche or written list required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 2.01;
(iv) the Seller shall, to the extent required by Section 4.03, have
deposited in the Collection Account all Collections with respect to such
Additional Accounts since the Additional Cut-Off Date;
(v) (A) no selection procedures believed by the Seller to be adverse
to the interests of the Beneficiaries were used in selecting such
Additional Accounts; (B) the list of Additional Accounts delivered
pursuant to clause (iii) above is true and correct in all material
respects as of the Additional Cut-Off Date and (C) as of each of the
Notice Date and the Addition Date, neither CFC, CCC, nor the Seller were
insolvent nor will any of them have been made insolvent by such transfer
nor are any of them aware of any pending insolvency;
(vi) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with
respect to such addition;
(vii) the addition of the Receivables arising in such Additional
Accounts shall not result in the occurrence of an Early Amortization
Event;
(viii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee and any
Enhancement Providers a certificate of a Vice President or more senior
officer confirming (A) the items set forth in paragraphs (ii) through
(vii) above and (B) that the Seller reasonably believes that the addition
of the Receivables arising in such Additional Accounts will not result in
the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event; and
(ix) on or before each Addition Date, the Seller shall have
delivered to the Trustee and any Enhancement Providers (A) an Opinion of
Counsel with respect to the Receivables in the Additional Accounts
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 and (B) except in the case of an
addition required by Section 2.05(a), a Tax Opinion with respect to such
addition.
(e) The Seller hereby represents and warrants as of the applicable
Addition Date as to the matters set forth in Section 2.05(d)(v). Upon
discovery by the Seller, the Servicer, any Agent, the Trustee or any
Enhancement Providers of a breach of the foregoing representations and
warranties, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties, to any Agent and to any Enhancement
Providers.
SECTION 2.06. Covenants of the Seller. The Seller hereby covenants
that:
(a) No Liens. Except for the conveyances hereunder or as provided in
Section 6.03(c), the Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to
any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or (subject to the
rights of the Purchased Receivables owners with respect to the Collateral
Security arising in the Partial Accounts (other than the Vehicles
relating to any Principal Receivables)) suffer to exist any Lien on, any
Receivable or any Collateral Security, whether now existing or hereafter
created, or any interest therein, or the Seller's rights, remedies,
powers or privileges with respect to the Receivables under the
Receivables Purchase Agreement, or the Seller's Interest or the Seller's
Certificates and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of
the Trust in, to and under the Receivables and the Collateral Security,
whether now existing or hereafter created, and such rights, remedies,
powers and privileges, against all claims of third parties claiming
through or under the Seller.
(b) Account Allocations. In the event that the Seller is unable for
any reason to transfer Receivables to the Trust, then the Seller agrees
that it shall allocate, after the occurrence of such event, payments on
each Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account first
to the oldest principal balance of such Account and to have such payments
applied as Collections in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
provided, however, that, in the case of Partial Accounts, Collections of
Principal Receivables shall be allocated to the Principal Receivables to
which such Collections relate. The parties hereto agree that
Non-Principal Receivables, whenever created, accrued in respect of
Principal Receivables which have been conveyed to the Trust shall
continue to be a part of the Trust notwithstanding any cessation of the
transfer of additional Principal Receivables to the Trust and Collections
with respect thereto shall continue to be allocated and paid in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Delivery of Collections. In the event that the Seller, CCC or
any Affiliate thereof receives payments in respect of Receivables, the
Seller and CCC agree to pay or cause to be paid to the Servicer or any
Successor Servicer all payments received thereby in respect of the
Receivables as soon as practicable after receipt thereof, but in no event
later than two Business Days after the receipt by the Seller, CCC or any
Affiliate thereof.
(d) Notice of Liens. The Seller shall notify the Trustee promptly
after becoming aware of any Lien on any Receivable other than the
conveyances hereunder.

related activities and transactions (such businesses, activities and
transactions, collectively, "Permitted Transactions").
(g) Indebtedness. The Seller will not create, incur or assume any
indebtedness or issue any securities or sell or transfer any receivables
to a trust or other Person which issues securities in respect of any such
receivables, unless (i) any such indebtedness or securities have no
recourse to any assets of the Seller other than the specified assets to
which such indebtedness or securities relate and (ii) the Rating Agency
Condition shall have been satisfied in connection therewith prior to the
incurrence or issuance thereof.
(h) Guarantees. The Seller will not become or remain liable,
directly or contingently, in connection with any indebtedness or other
liability of any other Person, whether by guarantee, endorsement (other
than endorsements of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection in
the ordinary course of business), agreement to purchase or purchase,
agreement to supply or advance funds, or otherwise, except in connection
with Permitted Transactions and unless the Rating Agency Condition shall
have been satisfied with respect thereto.
(i) Investments. The Seller will not make or suffer to exist any
loans or advances to, or extend any credit to, or make any investments
(by way of transfer of property, contributions to capital purchase of
stock or securities or evidences of indebtedness, acquisition of the
business or assets, or otherwise) in, any Affiliate, unless prior thereto
the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect
thereto; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be prohibited under
this Section 2.06(i) from declaring or paying any dividends in respect of
its common stock.
(j) Stock; Merger. The Seller will not (i) sell any shares of any

liquidate or dissolve itself (or suffer any termination, liquidation or
dissolution), or (iii) acquire or be acquired by any Person, or (iv)
otherwise make (or suffer) any material change in the organization of or
method of conducting its business.
(k) Agreements. The Seller will not become a party to, or permit any
of its properties to be bound by, any indenture, mortgage, instrument,
contract, agreement, lease or other undertaking, except this Agreement,
the Related Documents and any document relating to a Permitted
Transaction, or amend or modify its certificate of Incorporation or
cancel, terminate, amend, supplement, modify or waive any of the
provisions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or any of the other
Related Documents or request, consent or agree to or suffer to exist or
permit any such cancellation, termination, amendment, supplement,
modification or waiver unless, in any such case, the Rating Agency
Condition shall have been satisfied with respect thereto.
SECTION 2.07. Removal of Eligible Accounts. (a) On each Determination
Date the Seller shall have the right to remove from the Trust Accounts in the
manner prescribed in Section 2.07(b).

Date to and until the related Removal Date, allocate (A) to the Trust (to

Certificate confirming the items set forth in clauses (vi) through (ix)
above and confirming that the Seller reasonably believes that the removal
of the Removed Accounts will not result in the occurrence of an Early
Amortization Event; the Trustee may conclusively rely on such officers'
Certificate and shall have no duty to make inquiries with regard to the
matters set forth therein and shall incur no liability in so relying.
No Designated Accounts shall be so removed if such removal will result in a
reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Series or Class by

Date to and until the related Removal Date, allocate (A) to the Trust (to

the related Additional Cut-Off Date, and on the applicable Transfer Date, the
Account in which such Receivables arise is an Eligible Account and (b) the
Incremental Subordinated Amount is adjusted in accordance with the definition
of Incremental Subordinated Amount.
ARTICLE III
Administration and Servicing
of Receivables
SECTION 3.01. Acceptance of Appointment and Other Matters Relating to
the Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall service and administer the Receivables,
shall collect payments due under the Receivables and shall charge-off as
uncollectible Receivables, all in accordance with its customary and usual
servicing procedures for servicing wholesale receivables comparable to the
Receivables which the Servicer services for its own account and in accordance
with the Floorplan Financing Guidelines. The Servicer shall have full power
and authority, acting alone or through any party properly designated by it
hereunder, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 10.01, the Servicer is
hereby authorized and empowered, unless such power and authority is revoked by
the Trustee on account of the occurrence of a Service Default pursuant to
Section 10.01, (i) to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and payments
from the Collection Account and any Series Account as set forth in this
Agreement, (ii) to instruct the Trustee to take any action required or
permitted under any Enhancement, (iii) to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the other
Beneficiaries, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments,
with respect to the Receivables and, after the delinquency of any Receivable
and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable
Requirements of Law, to commence enforcement proceedings with respect to such
Receivables, (iv) to make any filings, reports, notices, applications,
registrations with, and seek any consents or authorizations from, the
Securities and Exchange Commission and any State securities authority on
behalf of the Trust as may be necessary or advisable to comply with any
Federal or State securities laws or reporting requirement, and (v) to delegate
certain of its servicing, collection, enforcement and administrative duties
hereunder with respect to the Accounts and the Receivables to any Person who
agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with the Floorplan Financing
Guidelines and this Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer shall
notify the Trustee, the Rating Agencies, any Agent and any Enhancement
Providers in writing of any such delegation of its duties which is not in the
ordinary course of its business, that no delegation will relieve the Servicer
of its liability and responsibility with respect to such duties and that the
Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to any such
delegation. The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney
and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry
out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.
(b) In the event that the Seller is unable for any reason to transfer
Receivables to the Trust in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
(including by reason of the application of the provisions of Section 9.02 or
any court of competent jurisdiction ordering that the Seller not transfer any
additional Principal Receivables to the Trust) then, in any such event, the
Servicer agrees (i) to give prompt written notice thereof to any Enhancement
Providers, any Agent and each Rating Agency and (ii) that it shall in any such
event allocate after the occurrence of such event, payments on each Account
with respect to the principal balance of such Account first to the oldest
principal balance of such Account, subject to the proviso set forth in Section
2.06(b), and to have such payments applied as Collections in accordance with
Section 4.02. The parties hereto agree that Non-Principal Receivables,
whenever created, accrued in respect of Principal Receivables which have been
conveyed to the Trust shall continue to be a part of the Trust notwithstanding
any cessation of the transfer of additional Principal Receivables to the Trust
and Collections with respect thereto shall continue to be allocated and paid
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) The Servicer shall not, and any Successor Servicer shall not be
obligated to, use separate servicing procedures, offices, employees or
accounts for servicing the Receivables from the procedures, offices, employees
and accounts used by the Servicer in connection with servicing other wholesale
receivables.
(d) The Servicer shall comply with and perform its servicing
obligations with respect to the Accounts and Receivables in accordance with
the Floorplan Financing Agreements relating to the Accounts and the Floorplan
Financing Guidelines, except insofar as any failure to so comply or perform
would not materially and adversely affect the rights of the Trust or any of
the Beneficiaries. Subject to compliance with all Requirements of Law, the
Servicer (or CCC) may change the terms and provisions of the Floorplan
Financing Agreements or the Floorplan Financing Guidelines in any respect
(including the calculation of the amount or the timing of charge-offs and the
rate of the finance charge assessed thereon), only if (i) as a result of such
change, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer no Early Amortization Event
will occur at any time and none of the Enhancement Providers, if any, or the
Certificateholders shall be adversely affected, (ii) such change is made
applicable to the comparable segment of wholesale accounts owned or serviced
by the Servicer which have characteristics the same as, or substantially
similar to, the Accounts which are the subject of such change and (iii) in the
case of a reduction in the rate of such finance charges, the Servicer (or CCC)
does not, reasonably expect any such reduction to result in the Net
Receivables Rate for any Collection Period being less than the weighted
average of the sum of the Certificate Rates and the Servicing Fee Rates for,
all outstanding Series for the related Interest Period (each such term as
defined in the related Supplement).
SECTION 3.02. Servicing Compensation. As full compensation for its
servicing activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses as set forth
in the immediately following paragraph, the Servicer shall be entitled to
receive the Servicing Fee on each Distribution Date on or prior to the Trust
Termination Date payable in arrears. The "Servicing Fee" shall be the
aggregate of the Monthly Servicing Fees specified in the Supplements. The
Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Servicer solely to the extent amounts
are available for payment in accordance with the terms of the Supplements.
The Servicer's expenses include the amounts due to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 11.05 and the reasonable fees and disbursements of
independent accountants and all other expenses incurred by the Servicer in
connection with its activities hereunder, and including all other fees and
expenses of the Trust not expressly stated herein to be for the account of the
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for
its own account, and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than
the Servicing Fee. The Servicer will be solely responsible for all fees and
expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Servicer in connection herewith and
the Servicer will not be entitled to any fee or other payment from, or claim
on, any of the Trust Assets (other than the Servicing Fee).
SECTION 3.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Servicer. (a) CCC, as Servicer, hereby makes, and any Successor Servicer by
its appointment hereunder shall make, on each Closing Date (and on the date of
any such appointment) the following representations, warranties and covenants:
(i) Organization and Good Standing. Such party is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the applicable
laws of the state of its incorporation and has, in all material respects,
full corporate power, authority and legal rights to own its properties
and conduct its wholesale receivable servicing business as such
properties are presently owned and as such business is presently
conducted, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this
Agreement and the applicable Supplement.
(ii) Due Qualification. Such party is duly qualified to do business
and is in good standing as a foreign corporation (or is exempt from such
requirements) and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in
each jurisdiction in which the servicing of the Receivables as required
by this Agreement requires such qualification except where the failure to
so qualify or obtain licenses or approvals would not have a material
adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations hereunder.
(iii) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery, and performance of
this Agreement and the applicable Supplement has been duly authorized by
such party by all necessary corporate action on the part thereof.
(iv) Binding Obligation. This Agreement and the applicable
Supplement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such
party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws now or hereinafter in effect, affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights and except as such enforceability
may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a
proceeding at law or in equity).
(v) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the applicable Supplement by such party, the performance of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Supplement
and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof applicable to such
party will not conflict with, violate, result in any breach of any of the
material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice
or lapse of time or both) a material default under, any Requirement of
Law applicable to such party or any indenture, contract, agreement,
mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument to which such party is a
party or by which it is bound.
(vi) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or, to the best
knowledge of such party, investigations, pending or threatened against
such party before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or
other tribunal or governmental instrumentality seeking to prevent the
issuance of the Certificates or the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable
Supplement, seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable
judgment of such party, would materially and adversely affect the
performance by such party of its obligations under this Agreement and the
applicable Supplement, or seeking any determination or ruling that would
materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement and the applicable Supplement.
(vii) Compliance with Requirements of Law. Such party shall duly
satisfy all obligations on its part to be fulfilled under or in
connection with the Receivables and the Accounts, will maintain in effect
all qualifications required under Requirements of Law in order to service
properly the Receivables and the Accounts and will comply in all material
respects with all Requirements of Law in connection with servicing the
Receivables and the Accounts the failure to comply with which would have
a material adverse effect on the interests of Beneficiaries.
(viii) No Rescission or Cancellation. Such party shall not permit
any rescission or cancellation of a Receivable except as ordered by a
court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority.
(ix) Protection of Beneficiaries Rights. Such party shall take no
action, nor omit to take any action, which would impair the rights of
Beneficiaries in the Receivables nor shall it reschedule, revise or defer
payments due on any Receivable except in accordance with the Floorplan
Financing Guidelines.
(x) Servicer Concentration Account. The Servicer maintains deposit
accounts (collectively, the "Concentration Account") into which it shall
deposit all amounts paid by the Dealers under Floorplan Financing
Agreements. The Servicer agrees (i) that it will not change this method
of collection without the prior written consent of any Enhancement
Providers and any Agents; (ii) with respect to amounts deposited into the
Concentration Account in respect of a particular day, that it will not
transfer such amounts from the Concentration Account until the Servicer
has posted all Collections in respect of the Receivables for such day and
(iii) concurrently with the transfer of amounts from the Concentration
Account in respect of a particular day, the Servicer will make the
deposits and transfers required by the terms of this Agreement for such
day.
(xi) Negative Pledge. Except for the conveyance hereunder to the
Trustee, the Servicer will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any
other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien
on, any Receivable sold and assigned to the Trust, whether now existing
or hereafter created, or any interest therein, and the Servicer shall
defend the rights, title and interest of the Trust in, to and under any
Receivable sold and assigned to the Trust, whether now existing or
hereafter created, against all claims of third parties claiming through
or under the Seller or the Servicer.
(b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set forth in
this Section 3.03 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables
to the Trust and the issuance of the Certificates. Upon discovery by the
Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations
and warranties set forth in this Section 3.03, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties and to any
Enhancement Providers.
(c) Purchase. In the event any representation or warranty under
Section 3.03(a) (vii), (viii) or (ix) is not true and correct in any material
respect as of the date specified therein with respect to any Receivable or
Account and such breach has a material adverse effect on the
Certificateholders' Interest in such Receivable, then, within 30 days (or such
longer period as may be agreed to by the Trustee) of the earlier to occur of
the discovery of any such event by the Seller or the Servicer, or receipt by
the Seller or the Servicer of written notice of any such event given by the
Trustee or any Enhancement Providers, the Servicer shall purchase such
Receivable or, in the case of an untrue representation with respect to an
Account, all Receivables in such Account, on the Determination Date
immediately succeeding the expiration of such 30-day period on the terms and
conditions set forth in the next succeeding paragraph; provided, however, that
no such purchase shall be required to be made with respect to such Receivable
if, by the end of such 30-day period (or such longer period as may be agreed
to by the Trustee) the breached representation or warranty shall then be true
and correct in all material respects and any material adverse effect caused
thereby shall have been cured. The Servicer shall effect such purchase by
depositing in the Collection Account in immediately available funds an amount
equal to the Purchase Price of such Receivable. Any such deposit of such
Purchase Price into the Collection Account shall be considered a Transfer
Deposit Amount and shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
Upon each such payment of such Purchase Price, the Trust shall
automatically and without further action be deemed to sell, transfer, assign,
set over and otherwise convey to the Servicer, without recourse,
representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Trust in and
to such Receivables, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto and
all proceeds thereof and the related Collateral Security. The Trustee shall
execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such
other actions as shall be reasonably requested by the Servicer to effect the
conveyance of any such Receivables pursuant to this Section. The obligation of
the Servicer to purchase such Receivables, and to make the deposits required
to be made to the Collection Account as provided in the preceding paragraph,
shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to such
obligation available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of
Certificateholders.
SECTION 3.04. Reports and Records for the Trustee; Bank Account
Statements. On or before each Distribution Date, with respect to each
outstanding Series, the Servicer shall deliver to any Enhancement Providers,
the Rating Agencies, the Trustee and each Investor Certificateholder a
Distribution Date Statement for such Distribution Date substantially in the
form set forth in the related Supplement.
SECTION 3.05. Annual Servicer's Certificate. The Servicer will
deliver to the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, any Agent and any Enhancement
Providers on or before March 31 of each calendar year, beginning with March
31, 1992, an Officers' Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C
stating that (a) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the
preceding calendar year and of its performance under this Agreement was made
under the supervision of the officer signing such certificate and (b) to the
best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has
performed in all material respects its obligations under this Agreement
throughout such year, or, if there has been a material default in the
performance of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such
officer and the nature and status thereof. A copy of such certificate may be
obtained by any Investor Certificateholder by a request in writing to the
Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.
SECTION 3.06. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Report. The Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public
accountants, who may also render other services to the Servicer or to the
Seller, to deliver to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies, each Agent and each
Enhancement Provider on or before March 31 of each year, beginning March 31,
1992, a report addressed to the Board of Directors of the Servicer and to the
Trustee, to the effect that such firm has examined the financial statements of
the Servicer or, if applicable, the parent corporation of the Servicer, and
issued its report thereon and that such examination: (a) was made in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly
included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing
procedures as such firm considered necessary in the circumstances, (b)
included tests relating to wholesale receivables (including financing
arrangements with automobile dealers to finance their automobile and
light-duty truck inventory) serviced for others in accordance with the
requirements of the Uniform Single Audit Program for Mortgage Bankers, to the
extent the procedures in such program are applicable to the servicing
obligations set forth in the Agreement and (c) except as described in the
report, disclosed no exceptions or errors in the records relating to wholesale
receivables (including financing arrangements with automobile dealers to
finance their automobile and light-duty truck inventory) serviced for others
that, in the firm's opinion, paragraph four of such Uniform Single Audit
Program requires such firm to report. A copy of such report may be obtained by
any Investor Certificateholder by a request in writing to the Trustee
addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.
SECTION 3.07. Tax Treatment. The Seller has entered into this
Agreement and the Investor Certificates have been (or will be) issued with the
intention that the Investor Certificates will qualify under applicable tax law
as indebtedness of CARCO secured by the Receivables. The Seller, each
Beneficiary and each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner, by the
acceptance of its Certificate or Book-Entry Certificate, as applicable, agrees
to treat the Investor Certificates as indebtedness of CARCO secured by the
Receivables for Federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise
taxes, Michigan Single Business tax and any other taxes imposed on or measured
by income.
SECTION 3.08. Notices to CCC. In the event CCC is no longer acting as
Servicer, any Successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 10.02 shall
deliver or make available to CCC, as the case may be, each certificate and
report required to be prepared, forwarded or delivered thereafter pursuant to
Sections 3.04, 3.05 or 3.06.
SECTION 3.09. Adjustments. (a) If the Servicer adjusts downward the
amount of any Principal Receivable because of a rebate, refund, credit
adjustment or billing error to a Dealer, or because such Receivable was
created in respect of a Vehicle which was refused or returned by a Dealer,
then, in any such case, the Seller's Participation Amount will be
automatically reduced by the amount of the adjustment. Furthermore, if
following such a reduction the Seller's Participation Amount would be less
than the Trust Available Subordinated Amount on the immediately preceding
Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions,
withdrawals and deposits to be made on the Distribution Date following such
Determination Date), then the Seller shall be required to pay an amount equal
to such deficiency (up to the amount of such adjustment) into the Collection
Account on the Business Day on which such adjustment or reduction occurs (each
such payment an "Adjustment Payment").
(b) If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account
in respect of a Collection of a Receivable and such Collection was received by
the Servicer in the form of a check which is not honored for any reason or
(ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Collection
and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of
such Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount
subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored
check or mistake. Any Receivable in respect of which a dishonored check is
received shall be deemed not to have been paid.
ARTICLE IV
Rights of Certificateholders and
Allocation and Application of Collections
SECTION 4.01. Rights of Certificateholders. The Investor Certificates
shall represent fractional undivided interests in the Trust, which, with
respect to each Series, shall consist of the right to receive, to the extent
necessary to make the required payments with respect to the Investor
Certificates of such Series at the times and in the amounts specified in the
related Supplement, the portion of Collections allocable to Investor
Certificateholders of such Series pursuant to this Agreement and such
Supplement, funds on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to
Certificateholders of such series pursuant to this Agreement and such
Supplement, funds on deposit in any related Series Account and funds available
pursuant to any related Enhancement (collectively, with respect to all Series,
the "Certificateholders' Interest"), it being understood that the Investor
Certificates of any Series or Class shall not represent any interest in any
Series Account or Enhancement for the benefit of any other Series or Class.
The Seller's Certificate shall represent the ownership interest in the
remainder of the Trust Assets not allocated pursuant to this Agreement or any
Supplement to the Certificateholders' Interest, including the right to receive
Collections with respect to the Receivables and other amounts at the times and
in the amounts specified in any Supplement to be paid to the Seller on behalf
of all holders of the Seller's Certificates (the "Seller's Interest");
provided, however, that the Seller's Certificates shall not represent any
interest in the Collection Account, any Series Account or any Enhancement,
except as specifically provided in this Agreement or any Supplement.
SECTION 4.02. Establishment of the Collection Account. The Servicer,
for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the other Beneficiaries, shall
cause to be established and maintained in the name of the Trust an Eligible
Deposit Account bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds
deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
other Beneficiaries (the "Collection Account"). The Trustee shall possess all
right, title and interest in all funds from time to time on deposit in, and
all Eligible Investments credited to, the Collection Account and in all
proceeds thereof. The Collection Account shall be under the sole dominion and
control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the other
Beneficiaries. If, at any time, the Collection Account ceases to be an
Eligible Deposit Account, the Servicer shall establish a substitute Eligible
Deposit Account as the Collection Account, instruct the Trustee to transfer
any cash and/or any Eligible Investments to such new Collection Account and,
from the date any such substitute account is established, such account shall
be the Collection Account. Neither the Seller nor the Servicer, nor any person
or entity claiming by, through or under the Seller or Servicer, shall have any
right, title or interest in, or any right to withdraw any amount from, the
Collection Account. Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer in
Section 3.01, the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Trustee, to
instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection
Account for the purposes of carrying out the Servicer's or Trustee's duties
specified in this Agreement.
All Eligible Investments shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders and the other Beneficiaries. Funds on deposit in the
Collection Account shall at the direction of the Servicer be invested by the
Trustee solely in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds
will be available at the close of business on or before the Business Day next
preceding the following Distribution Date (or on or before 10:00 a.m. on such
following Distribution Date in the case of Eligible Investments in respect of
which the Trustee is the obligor). As of each Determination Date, all interest
and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds
on deposit in the Collection Account received on such Determination Date shall
be credited to the Collection Account. Schedule 2, which is hereby
incorporated into and made part of this Agreement, identifies the Collection
Account by setting forth the account number of such account, the account
designation of such account and the name of the institution with which such
account has been established. If a substitute Collection Account is
established pursuant to this Section 4.02, the Servicer shall provide to the
Trustee an amended Schedule 2, setting forth the relevant information for such
substitute Collection Account.
SECTION 4.03. Allocations and Applications of Collections and Other
Funds. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.03(b), the Servicer shall
deposit Collections into the Collection Account as promptly as possible after
the Date of Processing of such Collections, but in no event later than the
second Business Day after such Date of Processing.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for
so long as (i) CCC remains the Servicer hereunder, (ii) no Service Default has
occurred and is continuing and (iii) (x) CCC is a wholly owned subsidiary of
CFC and CFC maintains a short-term rating of at least A-1 by Standard & Poor's
and P-1 by Moody's (and for five Business Days following any reduction of
either such rating), (y) CCC arranges for and maintains a letter of credit or
other form of Enhancement in respect of the Servicer's obligations to make
deposits of collections on the Receivables in the Collection Account that is
acceptable form and substance to each Rating Agency and any Agents or (z) CCC
otherwise obtains the Rating Agency confirmation described below, then,
subject to any limitations in the confirmations r described below, the
Servicer need not make the daily deposits of Collections into the Collection
Account as provided in Section 4.02, but may make a single deposit into the
Collection Account in same day or next day funds not later than 12:00 noon,
New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution
Date in a net amount equal to the amount which would have been on deposit with
respect to the immediately preceding Collection Period in the Collection
Account; provided, however, that prior to ceasing daily deposits as described
above the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee written confirmation from
each of the Rating Agencies that the failure by CCC to make daily deposits
will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding
Series or Class.
(c) Subject to Section 4.04, but notwithstanding anything else in
this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Collection Period, whether
the Servicer is required to make deposits of Collections pursuant to paragraph
(a) or (b) above, (i) the Servicer will only be required to deposit
Collections into the Collection Account up to the aggregate amount of
Collections required to be deposited into any Series Account or, without
duplication, distributed on the related Distribution Date to Investor
Certificateholders, to any Agent or to any Enhancement Provider pursuant to
the terms of any Supplement or Enhancement Agreement and (ii) if at any time
prior to such Distribution Date the amount of Collections deposited in the
Collection Account exceeds the amount required to be deposited pursuant to
clause (i) above, the Servicer will be permitted to withdraw the excess from
the Collection Account.
(d) Collections of Non-Principal Receivables and Principal
Receivables, Defaulted Receivables and Miscellaneous Payments will be
allocated to each Series from and after the related Series Cut-Off Date on the
basis of such Series' Series Allocable Non-Principal Collections, Series
Allocable Principal Collections, Series Allocable Defaulted Amount and Series
Allocable Miscellaneous Payments and amounts so allocated to any Series will
not, except as specified in the related supplement, be available to the
Investor Certificateholders of any other Series. Allocations thereof between
the Certificateholders' Interest and the Seller's Interest, among the Series
in any group and among the Classes in any Series shall be set forth in the
related Supplement or Supplements.
SECTION 4.04. Unallocated Principal Collections. On each Distribution
Date, (a) the Servicer shall allocate Excess Principal Collections (as
described below) to each Series as set forth in the related Supplement and (b)
the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the Collection
Account and pay to the Seller (i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
(x) the aggregate amount for all outstanding Series of Collections of
Principal Receivables which the related Supplements specify are to be treated
as "Excess Principal Collections" with respect to such Distribution Date over
(y) the aggregate amount for all outstanding Series which the related
Supplements specify are "Principal Shortfalls" with respect to such
Distribution Date and, without duplication, (ii) the aggregate amount for all
outstanding Series of that portion of Series Allocable Principal Collections
which the related Supplements specify are to be allocated and paid to the
Seller with respect to such Distribution Date; provided, however, that, in the
case of clauses (i) and (ii), such amounts shall be paid to the Seller only if
the Seller's Participation Amount for such Distribution Date (determined after
giving effect to any Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust on such
date) exceeds the Trust Available Subordinated Amount for the immediately
preceding Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations,
distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on such Distribution Date).
The amount held in the Collection Account as a result of the proviso in the
preceding sentence ("Unallocated Principal Collections") shall be paid to the
Seller at the time the Seller's Participation Amount exceeds the Trust
Available Subordinated Amount for the immediately preceding Determination Date
(after giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and
deposits to be made on the Distribution Date immediately following such
Determination Date); provided, however, that any Unallocated Principal
Collections on deposit in the Collection Account at any time during which any
Series is in its amortization period, accumulation period or Early
Amortization Period shall be deemed to be "Miscellaneous Payments" and shall
be allocated and distributed in accordance with Section 4.03 and the terms of
each Supplement.
ARTICLE V
Distributions and Reports to
Certificateholders
Distributions shall be made to, and reports shall be provided to,
Certificateholders as set forth in the applicable Supplement.
ARTICLE VI
The Certificates
SECTION 6.01. The Certificates. The Investor Certificates of any
Series or Class may be issued in bearer form ("Bearer Certificates") with
attached interest coupons and one or more special coupons (collectively, the
"Coupons") pursuant to Section 6.11, or in fully registered form ("Registered
Certificates") and shall be substantially in the form of the exhibits with
respect thereto attached to the applicable Supplement. The CARCO Certificate
will be issued in registered form, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, and
shall upon issue, be executed and delivered by the Seller to the Trustee for
authentication and redelivery as provided in Section 6.02. Except as otherwise
provided in any Supplement, Bearer Certificates shall be issued in minimum
denominations of $5,000, $50,000 and $100,000 and Registered Certificates
shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples
of $1,000 in excess thereof. If specified in any Supplement, the Investor
Certificates of any Series or Class shall be issued upon initial issuance as a
single certificate evidencing the aggregate original principal amount of such
Series or Class as described in Section 6.11. The CARCO Certificate shall be a
single certificate and shall initially represent the entire Seller's Interest.
Each Certificate shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf
of the Seller by its President or any Vice President. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signature of the individual who was, at the time when such
signature was affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Seller shall not be
rendered invalid, notwithstanding that such individual ceased to be so
authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or
does not hold such office at the date of such Certificates. No Certificates
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any
purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee by the manual signature of a duly authorized signatory,
and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and
the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. Bearer Certificates shall be dated the Series Issuance
Date. All Registered Certificates and Seller's Certificates shall be dated the
date of their authentication.
SECTION 6.02. Authentication of Certificates. The Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver the Investor Certificates of each Series and Class
that are issued upon original issuance to or upon the order of the Seller
against payment to the Seller of the purchase price therefor. The Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver the CARCO Certificate to the Seller
simultaneously with its delivery of the Investor Certificates of the first
Series to be issued hereunder. If specified in the related Supplement for any
Series or Class, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver outside the United
States the Global Certificate that is issued upon original issuance thereof.
SECTION 6.03. New Issuances. (a) The Seller may from time to time
direct the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to issue one or more new Series of
Investor Certificates. The Investor Certificates of all outstanding Series
shall be equally and ratably entitled as provided herein to the benefits of
this Agreement without preference, priority or distinction, all in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Supplement
except, with respect to any Series or Class, as provided in the related
Supplement.
(b) On or before the Series Issuance Date relating to any new Series,
the parties hereto will execute and deliver a Supplement which will specify
the Principal Terms of such new Series. The terms of such Supplement may
modify or amend the terms of this Agreement solely as applied to such new
Series. The obligation of the Trustee to issue the Investor Certificates of
such new Series and to execute and deliver the related Supplement is subject
to the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) on or before the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the
Series Issuance Date, the Seller shall have given the Trustee, the
Servicer, each Rating Agency, any Agent and any Enhancement Provider
notice of such issuance and the Series Issuance Date;
(ii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee the related
Supplement, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, executed by each party
hereto other than the Trustee;
(iii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee any related
Enhancement Agreement executed by each of the parties thereto, other than
the Trustee;
(iv) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with
respect to such issuance;
(v) such issuance will not result in the occurrence of an Early
Amortization Event and the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee,
any Agent and any Enhancement Provider a certificate of a Vice President
or more senior officer, dated the Series Issuance Date, to the effect
that the Seller reasonably believes that such issuance will not result in
the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event and is not reasonably
expected to result in the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event at
any time in the future;

satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) above.
SECTION 6.04. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be
maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.16 a register (the
"Certificate Register") in which, subject to such reasonable' regulations as
it may prescribe, a transfer agent and registrar (which shall initially be the
Trustee) (the "Transfer Agent and Registrar") shall provide for the
registration of the Registered Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of
the Registered Certificates as herein provided. The Transfer Agent and
Registrar shall initially be the Trustee and any co-transfer agent and
co-registrar chosen by the Seller and acceptable to the Trustee. So long as
any Investor Certificates are outstanding, the Seller shall maintain a
co-transfer agent and co-registrar in New York City. Any reference in this
Agreement to the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall include any cotransfer
agent and coregistrar unless the context requires otherwise.
Subject to paragraph (c) below, upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Registered Certificate at any office or agency of the Transfer
Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose, one or more new Registered
Certificates (of the same Series and Class) in authorized denominations of
like aggregate fractional undivided interests in the Certificateholders'
Interest shall be executed, authenticated and delivered, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees.
At the option of a Registered Certificateholder, Registered
Certificates (of the same Series and Class) may be exchanged for other
Registered Certificates of authorized denominations of like aggregate
fractional undivided interests in the Certificateholders' Interest, upon
surrender of the Registered Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or
agency; Registered Certificates, including Registered Certificates received in
exchange for Bearer Certificates, may not be exchanged for Bearer
Certificates. At the option of the Holder of a Bearer Certificate, subject to
applicable laws and regulations, Bearer Certificates may be exchanged for
other Bearer Certificates or Registered Certificates (of the same Series and
Class) of authorized denominations of like aggregate fractional undivided
interests in the Certificateholders' Interest, upon surrender of the Bearer
Certificates to be exchanged at an office or agency of the Transfer Agent and
Registrar located outside the United States. Each Bearer Certificate
surrendered pursuant to this Section shall have attached thereto all unmatured
Coupons; provided that any Bearer Certificate, so surrendered after the close
of business on the Record Date preceding the relevant payment date or
distribution date after the expected final payment date need not have attached
the Coupon relating to such payment date or distribution date (in each case,
as specified in the applicable Supplement).
The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Trustee
or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be required
to register the transfer of or exchange any Certificate for a period of 15
days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Certificate.
Whenever any Investor Certificates are so surrendered for exchange,
the Seller shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and the Transfer
Agent and Registrar shall deliver (in the case of Bearer Certificates, outside
the United States) the Investor Certificates which the Investor
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Investor
Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form
satisfactory to the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed
by the Investor Certificateholder or the attorney-in-fact thereof duly
authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Investor Certificates, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
All Investor Certificates (together with any Coupons) surrendered for
registration of transfer and exchange or for payment shall be canceled and
disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee. The Trustee shall cancel
and destroy any Global Certificate upon its exchange in full for Definitive
Euro-Certificates and shall deliver a certificate of destruction to the
Seller. Such certificate shall also state that a certificate or certificates
of a Foreign Clearing Agency to the effect referred to in Section 6.11 was
received with respect to each portion of the Global Certificate exchanged for
Definitive Euro-Certificates.
The Seller shall execute and deliver to the Trustee Bearer
Certificates and Registered Certificates in such amounts and at such times as
are necessary to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under this
Agreement and the Certificates.
(b) The Transfer Agent and Registrar will maintain at its expense in
each of the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency
where Investor Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange (except that Bearer Certificates may not be surrendered for exchange
at any such office or agency in the United States).
(c) (i) Registration of transfer of Investor Certificates containing
a legend to the effect set forth on Exhibit D-1 shall be effected only if such
transfer (x) is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Act, or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Act, and (y) is
made to a Person which is not an employee benefit plan, trust or account,
including an individual retirement account, that is subject to ERISA or that
is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or an entity whose underlying
assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in such entity (a
"Benefit Plan"). In the event that registration of a transfer is to be made in
reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements under the Act,
the transferor or the transferee shall deliver, at its expense, to the Seller,
the Servicer and the Trustee, an investment letter from the transferee,
substantially in the form attached to the applicable Supplement, and no
registration of transfer shall be made until such letter is so delivered.
Investor Certificates issued upon registration or transfer of, or
Investor Certificates issued in exchange for, Investor Certificates bearing
the legend referred to above shall also bear such legend unless the Seller,
the Servicer, the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar receive an
opinion of counsel, satisfactory to each of them, to the effect that such
legend may be removed.
Whenever an Investor Certificate containing the legend referred to
above is presented to the Transfer Agent and Registrar for registration of
transfer, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall promptly seek instructions
from the Servicer regarding such transfer and shall be entitled to receive
instructions signed by a Servicing Officer prior to registering any such
transfer. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Transfer Agent and
Registrar and the Trustee and to hold each of them harmless against any loss,
liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part
arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by them in
relation to any such instructions furnished pursuant to this clause (i).
(ii) Registration of transfer of Investor Certificates containing a
legend to the effect set forth on Exhibit D-2 shall be effected only if
such transfer is made to a Person which is not a Benefit Plan. By
accepting and holding any such Investor Certificate, an Investor
Certificateholder shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that
it is not a Benefit Plan. By acquiring any interest in a Book-Entry
Certificate, a Certificate Owner shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.
SECTION 6.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If
(a) any mutilated Certificate (together, in the case of Bearer Certificates,
with all unmatured Coupons (if any) appertaining thereto) is surrendered to
the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or the Transfer Agent and Registrar receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Seller shall
execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and the Transfer Agent and Registrar
shall deliver (in the case of Bearer Certificates, outside the United States),
in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and aggregate fractional
undivided interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate
under this Section, the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar may
require the payment by the Certificateholder of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and
any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and
Transfer Agent and Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 6.06. Persons Deemed Owners. The Trustee, the Transfer Agent
and Registrar and any agent of any of them may (a) prior to due presentation
of a Registered Certificate for registration of transfer, treat the Person or
Persons in whose name any Registered Certificate is registered as the owner of
such Registered Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions
pursuant to the terms of the applicable Supplement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and (b) treat the bearer of a Bearer Certificate or Coupon as the
owner of such Bearer Certificate or Coupon for the purpose of receiving
distributions pursuant to the terms of the applicable Supplement and for all
other purposes whatsoever; and, in any such case, neither the Trustee, the
Transfer Agent and Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in determining
whether the Holders of the requisite Investor Certificates have given any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver
hereunder, Certificates owned by the Seller, the Servicer, any other holder of
a Seller's Certificate or any Affiliate thereof, shall be disregarded and
deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Certificates which the Trustee
knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Certificates so owned which have
been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded and may be regarded as
outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the
pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Certificates and that the
pledgee is not the Seller, the Servicer, any other holder of a Seller's
Certificate or any Affiliate thereof.
SECTION 6.07. Access to List of Registered Certificateholders' Names
and Addresses. The Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished by the
Transfer Agent and Registrar to the Servicer, within five business days after
receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor, a list in such form as the
Servicer may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Registered
Certificateholders. If three or more holders of Investor Certificates (the
"Applicants") apply to the Trustee, and such application states that the
Applicants desire to communicate with other Investor Certificateholders with
respect to their rights under this Agreement or any Supplement or under the
Investor Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which
such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee, after having been
adequately indemnified by such Applicants for its costs and expenses, shall
afford or shall cause the Transfer Agent and Registrar to afford such
Applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of
Registered Certificateholders of such Series or all outstanding Series, as
applicable, held by the Trustee, within five Business Days after the receipt
of such application. Such list shall be as of a date no more than 45 days
prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants' request.
Every Registered Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a
Registered Certificate, agrees with the Trustee that neither the Trustee, the
Transfer Agent and Registrar, nor any of their respective agents, shall be
held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the
names and addresses of the Registered Certificateholders hereunder, regardless
of the sources from which such information was derived.
SECTION 6.08. Book-Entry Certificates. Unless otherwise specified in
the related Supplement for any Series or Class, the Investor Certificates,
upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten
Investor Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be
delivered to the Depository, by, or on behalf of, the Seller. The Investor
Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the
name of the Depository or its nominee, and no Certificate Owner will receive a
definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in the
Investor Certificates, except as provided in section 6.10. Unless and until
definitive, fully registered Investor Certificates.("Definitive Certificates")
have been issued to the applicable Certificate owners pursuant to Section 6.10
or as otherwise specified in any such Supplement:
(a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and
effect;
(b) the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee may deal with the
Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes (including
the making of distributions) as the authorized representatives of the
respective Certificate owners;
(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with
any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section
shall control; and
(d) the rights of the respective Certificate owners shall be
exercised only through the Depository and the Depository Participants and
shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such
Certificate Owners and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants.
Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 6.10, the Depository will
make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive
and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related
Investor Certificates to such Depository Participants.
For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or
permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Investor
Certificateholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of Investor Certificates, such direction or consent may be
given by Certificate Owners (acting through the Depository and the Depository
Participants) owning Investor Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage
of principal amount of Investor Certificates.
SECTION 6.09. Notices to Depository. Whenever any notice or other
communication is required to be given to Investor Certificateholders of any
Series or Class with respect to which Book-Entry Certificates have been
issued, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the
related Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications to the applicable Depository.
SECTION 6.10. Definitive Certificates. If Book-Entry Certificates
have been issued with respect to any series or Class and (a) the Seller
advises the Trustee that the Depository is no longer willing or able to
discharge properly its responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with
respect to such Series or Class and the Trustee or the Seller is unable to
locate a qualified successor, (b) the Seller, at its option, advises the
Trustee that it elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to such
Series or Class through the Depository or (c) after the occurrence of a
Service Default, Certificate Owners of such Series or Class evidencing not
less than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Series or Class
advise the Trustee and the Depository through the Depository Participants that
the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to the Investor
Certificates of such Series or Class through the Depository is no longer in
the best interests of the Certificate owners with respect to such
Certificates, then the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners of such
Certificates, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and
of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of any such Certificates by
the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository
for registration, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Seller nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay
in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of such
Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or
to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and
performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such
Definitive Certificates as Investor Certificateholders hereunder.
SECTION 6.11. Global Certificate; Exchange Date. (a) If specified in
the related Supplement for any Series or Class, the Investor Certificates will
initially be issued in the form of a single temporary global Certificate (the
"Global Certificate") in bearer form, without interest coupons, in the
denomination of the entire aggregate principal amount of such Series or Class
and substantially in the form set forth in the exhibit with respect thereto
attached to the related Supplement. The Global Certificate will be
authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions, in substantially the
same manner and with the same effect as the Definitive Certificates she Global
Certificate may be exchanged as described below for Bearer or Registered
Certificates in definitive form (the "Definitive Euro-Certificates").
(b) The Manager shall, upon its determination of the date of
completion of the distribution of the Investor certificates of such Series or
Class, so advise the Trustee, the Seller, the Common Depositary, and each
Foreign Clearing Agency forthwith. Without unnecessary delay, but in any event
not prior to the Exchange Date, the Seller will execute and deliver to the
Trustee at its London office or its designated agent outside the United States
definitive Bearer Certificates in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
entire aggregate principal amount of such Series or Class. All Bearer
Certificates so issued and delivered will have Coupons attached. The Global
Certificate may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of
Definitive Euro-Certificates only on or after the Exchange Date. A United
States institutional investor may exchange the portion of the Global
Certificate beneficially owned by it only for an equal aggregate principal
amount of Registered Certificates bearing the applicable legend set forth in
the form of Registered Certificate attached to the related Supplement and
having a minimum denomination of $500,000, which may be in temporary form if
the Seller so elects. The Seller may waive the $500,000 minimum denomination
requirement if it so elects. Upon any demand for exchange for Definitive
Euro-Certificates in accordance with this paragraph, the Seller shall cause
the Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Definitive Euro-Certificates to
the Holder (x) outside the United States, in the case of Bearer Certificates,
and (y) according to the instructions of the Holder, in the case of Registered
Certificates, but in either case only upon presentation to the Trustee of a
written statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 with respect to the
Global Certificate or portion thereof being exchanged, signed by a Foreign
Clearing Agency and dated on the Exchange Date or a subsequent date, to the
effect that it has received in writing or by tested telex a certification
substantially in the form of (i) in the case of beneficial ownership of the
Global Certificate or a portion thereof being exchanged by a United States
institutional investor pursuant to the second preceding sentence, the
certificate in the form of Exhibit F-2 signed by the Manager which sold the
relevant Certificates or (ii) in all other cases, the certificate in the form
of Exhibit F-3, the certificate referred to in this clause (ii) being dated on
the earlier of the first actual payment of interest in respect of such
Certificates and the date of the delivery of such Certificate in definitive
form. Upon receipt of such certification, the Trustee shall cause the Global
Certificate to be endorsed in accordance with paragraph (d) below. Any
exchange as provided in this Section shall be made free of charge to the
holders and the beneficial owners of the Global Certificate and to the
beneficial owners of the Definitive Euro-Certificates issued in exchange,
except that a person receiving Definitive Euro-Certificates must bear the cost
of insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the event that such
person does not receive such Definitive Euro-Certificates in person at the
offices of a Foreign Clearing Agency.
(c) The delivery to the Trustee by a Foreign Clearing Agency of any
written statement referred to above may be relied upon by the Seller and the
Trustee as conclusive evidence that a corresponding certification or
certifications has or have been delivered to such Foreign Clearing Agency
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(d) Upon any such exchange of all or a portion of the Global
Certificate for a Definitive Euro-Certificate or Certificates, such Global
Certificate shall be endorsed by or on behalf of the Trustee to reflect the
reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of such Definitive Euro-Certificate or Certificates. Until so
exchanged in full, such Global Certificate shall in all respects, be entitled
to the same benefits under this Agreement as Definitive Euro-Certificates
authenticated and delivered hereunder except that the beneficial owners of
such Global Certificate shall not be entitled to receive payments of interest
on the Certificates until they have exchanged their beneficial interests in
such Global Certificate for Definitive Euro-Certificates.
SECTION 6.12. Meetings of Certificateholders. (a) If at the time any
Bearer Certificates are issued and outstanding with respect to any Series or
Class to which any meeting described below relates, the Servicer or the
Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Investor Certificateholders of any
Series or Class or of all Series, to be held at such time and at such place as
the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall determine, for the
purpose of approving a modification of or amendment to, or obtaining a waiver
of any covenant or condition set forth in, this Agreement, any Supplement or
the Investor Certificates or of taking any other action permitted to be taken
by Investor Certificateholders hereunder or under any Supplement. Notice of
any meeting of Investor Certificateholders, setting forth the time and place
of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such
meeting, shall be given in accordance with Section 13.05, the first mailing

date fixed for the meeting. To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Investor
Certificateholders a person shall be (i) a Holder of one or more Investor

vote at such meeting and their counsel and any representatives of the Seller,
the Servicer and the Trustee and their respective counsel.
(b) At a meeting of Investor Certificateholders, persons entitled to
vote Investor Certificates evidencing a majority of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the applicable Series or Class or all outstanding Series,
as the case may be, shall constitute a quorum. No business shall be transacted
in the absence of a quorum, unless a quorum is present when the meeting is
called to order. In the absence of a quorum at any such meeting, the meeting
may be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days; in the absence of a
quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further
adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days; at the reconvening of any
meeting further adjourned for lack of a quorum, the persons entitled to vote
Investor Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the applicable Series or Class or all outstanding Series,
as the case may be, shall constitute a quorum for the taking of any action set
forth in the notice of the original meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any
adjourned meeting shall be given as provided above except that such notice
must be given not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting
is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned
meeting shall state expressly the percentage of the aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding applicable Investor Certificates which shall constitute a
quorum.
(c) Any Investor Certificateholder who has executed an instrument in
writing appointing a person as proxy shall be deemed to be present for the
purposes of determining a quorum and be deemed to have voted; provided that
such Investor Certificateholder shall be considered as present or voting only
with respect to the matters covered by such instrument in writing. Subject to
the provisions of Section 13.01, any resolution passed or decision taken at
any meeting of Investor Certificateholders duly held in accordance with this
Section shall be binding on all Investor Certificateholders whether or not
present or represented at the meeting.
(d) The holding of Bearer Certificates shall be proved by the
production of such Bearer Certificates or by a certificate, satisfactory to
the Servicer, executed by any bank, trust company or recognized securities
dealer, wherever situated, satisfactory to the Servicer. Each such certificate
shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Bearer Certificate
bearing a specified serial number was deposited with or exhibited to such
bank, trust company or recognized securities dealer by the person named in
such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more
Bearer Certificates specified therein. The holding by the person named in any
such certificate of any Bearer Certificate specified therein shall be presumed
to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless
at the time of any determination of such holding (i) another certificate
bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Certificate shall be
produced, (ii) the Bearer Certificate specified in such certificate shall be
produced by some other person or (iii) the Bearer Certificate specified in

permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected
by vote of the holders of Investor Certificates evidencing a majority of the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of Investor Certificates of the applicable
Series or Class or all outstanding Series, as the case may be, represented at
the meeting. No vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any
Investor Certificate challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman
of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have
no right to vote except as an Investor Certificateholder or proxy. Any meeting
of Investor Certificateholders duly called at which a quorum is present may be
adjourned from time to time, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned
without further notice.
(f) The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Investor
Certificateholders shall be by written ballot on which shall be subscribed the
signatures of Investor Certificateholders or proxies and on which shall be
inscribed the serial number or numbers of the Investor Certificates held or
represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two
inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or
against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the
meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the
meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Investor
Certificateholders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there

votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more
persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of
the meeting and showing that said notice was published as provided above. The
record shall be signed and verified by the permanent chairman and secretary of
the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Servicer and
the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have
attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and
verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

Obligations of the Servicer. The Servicer shall not consolidate with or merge
into any other corporation or convey or transfer its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless:
(a) the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the
Servicer is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer
the properties and assets of the Servicer substantially as an entirety
shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the
United States of America or any State or the District of Columbia and, if
the Servicer is not the surviving entity, such corporation shall assume,

part of any of the parties hereto, the performance of every covenant and
obligation of the Servicer hereunder; and
(b) the Servicer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'

SECTION 8.03. Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.
Except as provided in Section 8.04, neither the Servicer nor any of the
directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer, shall be under
any liability to the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificateholders or any other
Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in
its capacity as Servicer pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer and any director
or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any
document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not
incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this
Agreement which in its reasonable opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability.
SECTION 8.04. Servicer Indemnification of the Trust and the Trustee.
The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, for the benefit of
the Certificateholders and the other Beneficiaries, and the Trustee, from and
against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained
by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of
activities of the Servicer, the Trust or the Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement, including any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys'
fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of
any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that
the Servicer shall not indemnify the Trust or the Trustee if such acts,
omissions or alleged acts or omissions constitute fraud, gross negligence,
breach of fiduciary duty or willful misconduct by the Trustee; and provided
further that the Servicer shall not indemnify the Trust, the Trustee or the
Certificateholders or the other Beneficiaries for any liabilities, cost or
expense of the Trust with respect to any action taken by the Trustee at the
request of the Certificateholders or any other Beneficiaries to the extent the
Trustee is indemnified by such Certificateholders or other Beneficiaries with
respect to such action or with respect to any Federal, state or local income
or franchise taxes (or any interest or penalties with respect thereto)
required to be paid by the Trust or the Certificateholders or the other
Beneficiaries in connection herewith to any taxing authority. Any
indemnification under this Article VIII shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the resignation and removal of the Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. The Servicer Not To Resign. The Servicer shall not
resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon
determination that (a) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer
permissible under applicable law and (b) there is no reasonable action which
the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder
permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (a) above by an
opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such
resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a Successor Servicer
shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in
accordance with Section 10.02 hereof. If the Trustee is unable within 120 days
of the date of such determination to appoint a Successor Servicer, the Trustee

of the Certificateholders, or by applicable statutes or regulations to review
such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (a)
upon reasonable request, (b) during normal business hours, (c) subject to the
Servicer's, normal security and confidentiality procedures and (d) at offices
designated by the Servicer. Nothing in this Section 8.06 shall derogate from
the obligation of the Seller, the Trustee or the Servicer to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Dealers and
the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 8.06
as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section
8.06.
SECTION 8.07. Delegation of Duties. Subject to Section 3.01, in the
ordinary course of business, the Servicer may at any time delegate any duties
hereunder to any Person who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with
the Floorplan Financing Guidelines and this Agreement. The Servicer shall give
prompt written notice of any such delegation of a material function to the
Rating Agencies, any Agent and any Enhancement Providers. Such delegation
shall not relieve the Servicer of its liability and responsibility with
respect to such duties, and shall not constitute a resignation within the
meaning of Section 8.05 and the Rating Agency Condition shall have been
satisfied with respect to such delegation prior to such delegation.
SECTION 8.08. Examination of Records. The Seller and the Servicer
shall indicate generally in its computer files or other records that the

to this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the other
Beneficiaries. The Seller and the Servicer shall, prior to the sale or

SECTION 9.02. Additional Rights Upon the Occurrence of Certain
Events. (a) If an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Seller or the

the Trustee of such Insolvency Event or violation. Notwithstanding any
cessation of the transfer to the Trust of additional Receivables, Receivables
transferred to the Trust prior to the occurrence of such Insolvency Event or

accrued in respect of such Receivables, shall continue to be a part of the
Trust. Within 15 days of the Appointment Date, the Trustee shall (i) publish a

occurred and that the Trustee intends to sell, dispose of or otherwise
liquidate the Receivables on commercially reasonable terms and in a

50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each Series or, with respect
to any Series with two or more Classes, of each Class, to the effect that such
Investor Certificateholders disapprove of the liquidation of the Receivables

Supplemental Certificate to such effect, then the Trustee shall promptly sell,
dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Receivables in a commercially reasonable
manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which shall include the
solicitation of competitive bids. The Trustee may obtain a prior determination
from any applicable conservator, receiver or liquidator that the terms and
manner of any proposed sale, disposition or liquidation are commercially
reasonable. The provisions of Sections 9.01 and 9.02 shall not be deemed to be
mutually exclusive.
(b) The proceeds from the sale, disposition or liquidation of the
Receivables pursuant to paragraph (a) ("Insolvency Proceeds") shall be
immediately deposited in the Collection Account. The Trustee shall determine
conclusively the amount of the Insolvency Proceeds which are deemed to be
Non-Principal Receivables and Principal Receivables. The Insolvency Proceeds
shall be allocated and distributed to Investor Certificateholders in
accordance with Article IV and the terms of each Supplement and the Trust
shall terminate immediately thereafter.
ARTICLE X
Service Defaults
SECTION 10.01. Service Defaults. If any one of the following events
(a "Service Default") shall occur and be continuing with respect to the
Servicer:
(a) any failure by the Servicer to make any payment, transfer or
deposit or to give instructions or to give notice to the Trustee to make
such payment, transfer or deposit or to give notice to the Trustee as to
any action to be taken under any Enhancement Agreement on or before the
date occurring five days after the date such payment, transfer or deposit
or such instruction or notice is required to be made or given, as the
case may be, under the terms of this Agreement;
(b) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform
any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this
Agreement which has a material adverse effect on the Investor
Certificateholders of any Series, which continues unremedied for a period
of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer
by the Trustee; or the Servicer shall delegate its duties under this
Agreement, except as permitted by Sections 3.01 and 8.07;
(c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the
Servicer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to
this Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect when made, which has a
material adverse effect on the rights of the Investor Certificateholders
of any Series and which material adverse effect continues for a period of
60 days after the date on which written notice thereof, requiring the
same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the
Trustee;
(d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator
or receiver or liquidator or other similar official in any bankruptcy,
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities
or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating
to all or substantially all of its property, or a decree or order of a
court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the
premises for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator
or other similar official in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the
winding up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against
the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force
undischarged or unstayed; or the Servicer shall admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition
to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization statute, make any assignment for the benefit of its
creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; then, in the
event of any service Default, so long as the Service Default shall not
have been remedied, the Trustee, by notice then given in writing to the
Servicer (a "Termination Notice"), may terminate all but
------------------ not less than all of the rights and obligations (other
than its obligations that have accrued up to the time of such
termination) of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement and in and
to the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. After receipt by the
Servicer of a Termination Notice, and on the date that a Successor
Servicer shall have been appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section
10.02, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall
pass to and be vested in a successor Servicer (a "Service Transfer") and,
without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered (upon
the ----------------- failure of the Servicer to cooperate) to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise,
all documents and other instruments upon the failure of the Servicer to
execute or deliver such documents or instruments, and to do and
accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such Service Transfer. The Servicer agrees to cooperate
with the Trustee and such Successor Servicer in effecting the termination
of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing
hereunder, including the transfer to such Successor Servicer of all
authority of the Servicer to service the Receivables provided for under
this Agreement, including all authority over all Collections which shall
on the date of transfer be held by the Servicer for deposit, or which
rave been deposited by the Servicer, in the Collection Account, or which
shall thereafter be received with respect to the Receivables, and in
assisting the Successor Servicer. The Servicer shall promptly transfer
its electronic records relating to the Receivables to the Successor
Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably
request and shall promptly transfer to the Successor Servicer all other
records, correspondence and documents necessary for the continued
servicing of the Receivables in the manner and at such times as the
Successor Servicer shall reasonably request. To the extent that
compliance with this Section 10.01 shall require the Servicer to disclose
to the Successor Servicer information of any kind which the Servicer
reasonably deems to be confidential, the Successor Servicer shall be
required to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality
agreements as the Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance
under Section 10.01(a) for a period of 10 Business Days or under section
10.01(b) or (c) for a period of 60 Business Days, shall not constitute a
Service Default if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the
exercise of reasonable diligence by the Servicer and such delay or failure was
caused by an act of God or the public enemy, acts of declares or undeclared
war, public disorder, rebellion or sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning,
fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or similar causes. The preceding
sentence shall not relieve the Servicer from using its best efforts to perform
its respective obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and the Servicer shall provide the Trustee, any Agents, any
Enhancement Providers, the Seller and the Certificateholders with an Officers'
Certificate giving prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with
a description of its efforts so to perform its obligations. The Servicer shall
immediately notify the Trustee in writing of any Service Default.
SECTION 10.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) On and
after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section
10.01, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under
this Agreement until the date specified in the Termination Notice or otherwise
specified by the Trustee in writing or, if no such date is specified in such
Termination Notice, or otherwise specified by the Trustee, until a date
mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and Trustee. The Trustee shall as
promptly as possible after the giving of a Termination Notice appoint an
Eligible Servicer as a successor servicer (the "Successor Servicer"), subject
to the consent of any Enhancement Providers and any Agents, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, and such Successor Servicer shall accept
its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Trustee.
In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed or has not
accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as
Servicer, the Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed
the Successor Servicer. The Trustee may delegate any of its servicing
obligations to an affiliate or agent in accordance with sections 3.01 and
8.07. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee shall, if it is legally unable so
to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established
institution having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular
business includes the servicing of wholesale receivables as the Successor
Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall immediately give notice to the Rating
Agencies, any Enhancement Providers, any Agents and the Certificateholders
upon the appointment of a Successor, any Agents Servicer.
(b) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the
successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions
under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties
and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof (except that the Successor Servicer shall not be liable for
any liabilities incurred by the predecessor Servicer), and all references in
this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor
Servicer. Any Successor Servicer, by its acceptance of its appointment, will
automatically agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of any Enhancement
Agreement.
(c) In connection with any Termination Notice, the Trustee will
review any bids which it obtains from Eligible Servicers and shall be
permitted to appoint any Eligible Servicer submitting such a bid as a
Successor Servicer for servicing compensation not in excess of the Servicing
Fee (provided that if all such bids exceed the Servicing Fee the Seller at its
own expense shall pay when due the amount of any compensation in excess of the
Servicing Fee); provided, however, that the Seller shall be responsible for
payment of the Seller's portion of the Servicing Fee as determined pursuant to
this Agreement and all other amounts in excess of the Investors' Servicing
Fee, and that no such monthly compensation paid out of Collections shall be in
excess of the Investors' Servicing Fee permitted to the Servicer. The holders
of the Seller's Certificates agree that if CCC (or any Successor Servicer) is
terminated as Servicer hereunder, the portion of Collections to be paid to the
Seller shall be reduced by an amount sufficient to pay Seller's share of the
compensation of the Successor Servicer.
(d) All authority and power granted to the Successor Servicer under
this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of the
Trust pursuant to Section 12.01, and shall pass to and be vested in the Seller
and, without limitation, the Seller is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Successor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact
or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of
such transfer of servicing rights. The Successor Servicer agrees to cooperate
with the Seller in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and
rights of the Successor Servicer to conduct servicing on the Receivables. The
Successor Servicer shall transfer its electronic records relating to the
Receivables to the Seller in such electronic form as the Seller may reasonably
request and shall transfer all other records, correspondence and documents to
the Seller in the manner and at such times as the Seller shall reasonably
request. To the extent that compliance with this Section 10.02 shall require
the Successor Servicer to disclose to the Seller information of any kind which
the Successor Servicer deems to be confidential, the Seller shall be required
to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the
Successor Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interests.
ARTICLE XI
The Trustee
SECTION 11.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) The Trustee, prior to the
occurrence of a Service Default of which it has knowledge and after the curing
of all Service Defaults which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.
If a Service Default to the knowledge of the Trustee has occurred (which has
not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Agreement and use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments
furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine
whether they substantially conform to the requirements of this Agreement.
(c) Subject to Section 11.01(a), no provision of this Agreement shall
be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct: provided,
however, that;
(i) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible officer or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Service
Default or the failure by the Servicer to comply with the obligations of
the Servicer referred to in Section 10.01(a) and (b) unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure; and
(iii) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Early
Amortization Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains
actual knowledge thereof.
(d) The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and
none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require
the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of,
any obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement except during such time,
if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the
rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.
(e) Except for actions expressly authorized by this Agreement, the
Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the interests of the
Trust in any Receivable now existing or hereafter created or to impair the
value of any Receivable now existing or hereafter created.
(f) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Trustee shall
have no power to vary the corpus of the Trust including the power to (i)
accept any substitute obligation for a Receivable initially assigned to the
Trust under Section 2.01 or 2.05, (ii) add any other investment, obligation or
security to the Trust or (iii) withdraw from the Trust any Receivables.
(g) In the event that the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall fail to
perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required
to be performed by the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, under
this Agreement, the Trustee shall be obligated promptly upon its actual
knowledge thereof to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner
so required.
(h) If the Seller has agreed to transfer any of its wholesale
receivables (other than the Receivables) to another Person, then upon the
written request of the Seller, the Trustee will enter into such intercreditor
agreements with the transferee of such receivables as are customary and
necessary to identify separately the rights of the Trust and such other Person
in the Seller's wholesale receivables; provided, however, that the Trustee
shall not be required to enter into any intercreditor agreement which could
adversely affect the interests of the Investor Certificateholders or the
Trustee and, upon the request of the Trustee, the Seller will deliver an
Opinion of Counsel on any matters relating to such intercreditor agreement,
reasonably requested by the Trustee.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the Trustee
is not acting as, and shall not be deemed to be, a fiduciary for any
Enhancement Provider in its capacity as such or as a Beneficiary, and the
Trustee's sole responsibility with respect to said parties shall be to perform
those duties with respect to said parties as are specifically set forth herein
and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
the Trustee with respect to any such party.
SECTION 11.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 11.01: (a) the Trustee may rely on and shall be
protected in acting on, or in refraining from acting in accord with, any
resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or presented to it pursuant to this Agreement by the
proper party or parties;
(b) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel
shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any
action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
accordance with such opinion of Counsel;
(c) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or
defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order
or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
(d) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other
paper or document:
(f) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys or a custodian, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or custodian
appointed with due care by it hereunder; and
(g) except as may be required by Section 11.01(a) hereof, the Trustee
shall not be required to make any initial or periodic examination of any

purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by
the Seller with its representations and warranties or for any other purpose.
SECTION 11.03. Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Certificates. The
Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals
contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the certificate of
authentication on the Certificates). Except as set forth in Section 11.14, the
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the certificate of authentication
on the Certificates) or of any Receivable or related document. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Seller of any of
the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or
application of any funds paid to the Seller in respect of the Receivables or
deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or any Series Account.
SECTION 11.04. Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Investor

SECTION 11.05. The Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The
Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive, reasonable compensation (which shall not
be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee
of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the
trust hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers
and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, subject to Section 8.04, the
Servicer will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of its agents, any co-trustee and counsel) except
any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its gross
negligence or bad faith and except as provided in the second following
sentence. The Servicer's covenant to pay the expenses, disbursements and
advances provided for in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination
of this Agreement. If the Trustee is appointed Successor Servicer pursuant to
Section 10.02, the provisions of this Section 11.05 shall not apply to
expenses, disbursements and advances made or incurred by the Trustee in its
capacity as Successor Servicer, which shall be covered out of the Servicing
Fee.
SECTION 11.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee
hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination
by Federal or state authority. If such corporation publishes 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 11.06, 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 Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.06, the
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified
in Section 11.7.
SECTION 11.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may
at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving
written notice thereof to the Seller and the Servicer. Upon receiving such
notice of resignation, the Seller shall promptly appoint a successor trustee
by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If
no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee.
(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06 hereof and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Servicer, or if at any time the
Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent, or if a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee
or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation
or liquidation, then the Servicer may remove the Trustee and promptly appoint
a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the
successor trustee.
(c) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 11.07
shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee as provided in Section 11.08 hereof.
SECTION 11.08. Successor Trustee. (a) Any successor trustee appointed
as provided in Section 11.07 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Seller and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee shall
deliver to the successor trustee all documents or copies thereof, at the
expense of the Servicer, and statements held by it hereunder; and the Seller
and the predecessor 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 trustee all such rights, power, duties
and obligations. The Servicer shall immediately give notice to each Rating
Agency and the Certificateholders upon the appointment of a successor trustee.
(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 11.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 11.06 hereof.
SECTION 11.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any Person into
which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the
provisions of section 11.06 hereof, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 11.10. Appointment of Co-trustee or Separate Trustee. (a)
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 Trust may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power
and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to
act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees,
of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in
such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the
Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 11.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee
hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee under Section 11.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 11.08 hereof.
(b) Every 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 Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the 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 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 (whether as Trustee hereunder
or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the 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 Trustee;
(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of
any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the 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 XI. 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 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 Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the
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 Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
SECTION 11.11. Tax Returns. In the event the Trust shall be required
to file tax returns, the Trustee shall prepare, or shall cause to be prepared,
and file any tax returns required to be filed by the Trust. The Trustee in
accordance with the terms of the Supplements shall also prepare or shall cause
to be prepared all tax information required by law to be distributed to the
Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee will distribute or cause to be
distributed such information to the Investor Certificateholders. The Servicer,
upon request, will furnish the Trustee with all such information known to the
Servicer as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation of
all tax returns of the Trust or in connection with the distribution of tax
information to the Investor Certificateholders.
SECTION 11.12. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Certificates. All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the
Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee
shall be brought in its own name as trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the
ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment
has been obtained.
SECTION 11.13. Suits for Enforcement. If a Service Default shall
occur and be continuing, the Trustee, in its discretion may, subject to the
provisions of Section 10.01, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement by suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid
of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement
of any other legal, equitable or other remedy as the Trustee, being advised by
counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of
the Trustee or the Certificateholders. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt
on behalf of any Certificateholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Certificates or the rights of any
Holder thereof, or authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of
any Certificateholder in any such proceeding.
SECTION 11.14. Representations and Warranties of Trustee. The Trustee
represents and warrants that:
(i) the Trustee is a banking corporation organized, existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of New York:
(ii) the Trustee has full power, authority and right to execute,
deliver and perform this Agreement and each Supplement, and has taken all
necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by
it of this Agreement and each Supplement; and
(iii) this Agreement and each Supplement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Trustee.
SECTION 11.15. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Trustee will
maintain at its expense in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an
office or offices or agency or agencies where notices and demands to or upon
the Trustee in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served.
The Trustee initially designates its Corporate Trust Office as its office for
such purposes in New York. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the
Servicer and to Holders of the Certificates of any change in the location of
the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.
ARTICLE XII
Termination
SECTION 12.01. Termination of Trust. The Trust and the respective
obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee
created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make payments to
Investor Certificateholders as hereafter set forth) shall terminate, except
with respect to the duties described in Sections 7.03, 8.04 and 12.02(b), upon
the earlier of (i) May 31, 2012 (the "Final Maturity, Date"), (ii) the day
following the Distribution Date on which the Invested Amount for all Series is
zero and (iii) the time provided in Section 9.02(b) (the "Trust Termination
Date"). The Servicer will give the Rating Agencies prompt notice of the
termination of the Trust.
SECTION 12.02. Final Distribution. (a) The Servicer shall give the
Trustee at least 30 days prior notice of the Distribution Date on which the
Investor Certificateholders of any Series or Class may surrender their
Investor Certificates for payment of the final distribution on and
cancellation of such Investor Certificates (or, in the event of a final
distribution resulting from the application of Section 2.03 or 9.01, notice of
such Distribution Date promptly after Servicer has determined that a final
distribution will occur, if such determination is made less than 30 days prior
to such Distribution Date). Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer's
Certificate setting forth the information specified in Section 3.05 covering
the period during the then-current calendar year through the date of such
notice. Not later than the fifth day of the month in which the final
distribution in respect of such Series or Class is payable to Investor
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall provide notice to Investor
Certificateholders of such Series or Class specifying (i) the date upon which
final payment of such Series or Class will be made upon presentation and
surrender of Investor Certificates of such Series or Class at the office or
offices therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such payment date is not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of such
Investor Certificates at the office or offices therein specified (which, in
the case of Bearer Certificates, shall be outside the United States). The
Trustee shall give such notice to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the
Rating Agencies at the time such notice is given to Investor
Certificateholders.
(b) Notwithstanding a final distribution to the Investor
Certificateholders of any Series or Class (or the termination of the Trust),
except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, all funds then on deposit in
the Collection Account and any Series Account allocated to such Investor
Certificateholders shall continue to be held in trust for the benefit of such
Investor Certificateholders and the Trustee shall pay such funds to such
Investor Certificateholders upon surrender of their Investor Certificates (and
any excess shall be paid in accordance with the terms of any Enhancement
Agreement). In the event that all such Investor Certificateholders shall not
surrender their Investor Certificates for cancelation within six months after
the date specified in the notice from the Trustee described in paragraph (a),
the Trustee shall give a second notice to the remaining such Investor
Certificateholders to surrender their Investor Certificates for cancelation
and receive the final distribution with respect thereto (which surrender and
payment, in the case of Bearer Certificates, shall be outside the United
States). If within one year after the second notice all such Investor
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancelation, the Trustee may
take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to
contact the remaining such Investor Certificateholders concerning surrender of
their Investor Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the
funds in the Collection Account or any Series Account held for the benefit of
such Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee shall pay to the Seller any
monies held by it for the payment of principal or interest that remain
unclaimed for two years. After payment to the Seller, Investor
Certificateholders entitled to the money must look to the Seller for payment
as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates
another Person.
(c) In the event that the Invested Amount with respect to any Series
is greater than zero on its Termination Date (after giving effect to deposits
and distributions otherwise to be made on such Termination Date), the Trustee
will sell or cause to be sold on such Termination Date Receivables (or
interests therein) in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 1105 of the Invested
Amount with respect to such Series on such Termination Date (after giving
effect to such deposits and distributions) and (ii) the Available Subordinated
Amount with respect to such Series on the preceding Determination Date (after
giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits to
be made on the Distribution Date following such Determination Date); provided,
however, that in no event shall such amount exceed such Series' Series
Allocation Percentage (for the Collection Period in which such Termination
Date occurs) of Receivables on such Termination Date. The proceeds (the
"Termination Proceeds") from such sale shall be immediately deposited into the
Collection Account for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders of such
Series. The Termination Proceeds shall be allocated and distributed to the
Investor Certificateholders of such Series in accordance with the terms of the
applicable Supplement.
SECTION 12.03. Seller's Termination Rights. Upon the termination of
the Trust pursuant to Section 12.01 and the surrender of the Seller's
Certificates, the Trustee shall sell, assign and convey to the Seller or its
designee, without recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and
interest of the Trust in the Receivables, whether then existing or thereafter
created, all Collateral Security with respect thereto, all monies due or to
become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds
thereof, except for amounts held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.02(b),
and all of the Seller's rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect
to such Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each
case without recourse, as shall be reasonably requested by the Seller to vest
in the Seller or its designee all right, title and interest which the Trust
had in all such property.
ARTICLE XIII
Miscellaneous Provisions
SECTION 13.01. Amendment. (a) This Agreement or any Supplement may be
amended from time to time (including in connection with the issuance of a
Supplemental Certificate) by the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee without
the consent of any of the Certificateholders, provided that such action shall
not, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel for the Seller, addressed and
delivered to the Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Investor Certificateholder. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Trustee, with the consent of any
Enhancement Providers, may at any time and from time to time amend, modify or
supplement the form of Distribution Date Statement.

of Investor Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of the Investor Certificates of all adversely affected
Series, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Supplement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of
or delay the timing of any distributions to be made to Investor
Certificateholders or deposits of amounts to be so distributed or the amount
available under any Enhancement without the consent of each affected Investor
Certificateholder, (ii) change the definition of or the manner of calculating
the interest of any Investor Certificateholder without the consent of each

by each Rating Agency without the consent of the Holders of Investor
Certificates of such Series or Class evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Investor Certificates of such Series
or Class. Any amendment to be effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be
deemed to adversely affect all outstanding Series, other than any Series with
respect to which such action shall not, as evidenced by an opinion of Counsel
for the Seller, addressed and delivered to the Trustee, adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of any Investor Certificateholder of such
Series. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
amendment which affects the Trustee's rights, duties or immunities under this
Agreement or otherwise.
(c) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent
(other than an amendment pursuant to paragraph (a)), the Trustee shall furnish
notification of the substance of such amendment to each Investor
Certificateholder, and the Servicer shall furnish notification of the
substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency, each Agent and each
Enhancement Provider.
(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Investor
Certificateholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any
proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Investor Certificateholders
shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, no
amendment may be made to this Agreement or any Supplement which would
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Enhancement
Provider without the consent of such Enhancement Provider.
(f) Any Supplement executed in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6.03 shall not be considered an amendment to this Agreement for the
purposes of this Section.
SECTION 13.02. Protection of Right, Title and Interest to Trust. (a)
The Servicer shall cause this Agreement, all amendments hereto and/or all
financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary
documents covering the Certificateholders' and the Trustee's right, title, and
interest in and to the Trust to be promptly recorded, registered and filed,
and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner
and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the
right, title and interest of the Certificateholders and the Trustee hereunder
to all property comprising the Trust. The Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded,
registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such
recording, registration or filing. The Seller shall cooperate fully with the
Servicer in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute
any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this
Section 13.02(a).
(b) Within 30 days after the Seller or the Servicer makes any change
in its name, identity or corporate structure which would make any financing
statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with Section 13.02 (a)
seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-402(7) of the UCC as in
effect in Michigan (including as a result of a Designated Affiliate Transfer),
the Seller shall give the Trustee and any Agent notice of any such change and
shall file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to
continue the perfection of the Trust's security interest in the Receivables
and the proceeds thereof.
(c) The Seller and the Servicer will give the Trustee and any Agent
prompt written notice of any relocation of any office from which it services
Receivables or keeps records concerning the Receivables or of its principal
executive office and whether, as a result of such relocation, the applicable
provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any
previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing
statement and shall file such financing statements or amendments as may be
necessary to perfect or to continue the perfection of the Trust's security
interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. The Seller and the
Servicer will at all times maintain each office from which it services
Receivables and its principal executive officer within the United States of
America.

Enhancement Provider: (i) upon the execution and delivery of each amendment of

of Counsel substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2.
SECTION 13.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. (a) The
death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate
this Agreement or the Trust, nor shall such death or incapacity entitle such
Certificateholders' legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or
to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or
winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and
liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
(b) No Investor Certificateholder shall have any right to vote
(except as expressly provided in this Agreement) or in any manner otherwise
control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the
parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms
of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Investor
Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association,
nor shall any Investor Certificateholder be under any liability to any third
person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant
to any provision hereof.
(c) No Investor Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of
any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding
in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless
such Investor Certificateholder previously shall have made, and unless the
Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of all Investor Certificates (or, with respect to any
such action, suit or proceeding that does not relate to all Series, 50% of the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Investor Certificates of all Series
to which such action, suit or proceeding relates) shall have made, a request
to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as
Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after such request
and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such
action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by each Investor Certificateholder with every other
Investor Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Investor
Certificateholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by
availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of the Investor
Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to
any other such Investor Certificateholder, or to enforce any right under this
Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and
common benefit of all Investor Certificateholders except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement. For the protection and enforcement of

FORM OF REVERSE OF CARCO CERTIFICATE
This certifies that Chrysler Auto Receivables Company ("CARCO") is
the registered owner of a fractional interest in the assets of the CARCO AUTO
LOAN MASTER TRUST (the "Trust") not allocated to the Certificateholders'
Interest or the interest of any holder of a Supplemental Certificate, pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 31, 1991 (as amended
and supplemented, the "Agreement"), by and among CARCO, as seller, Chrysler
Credit Corporation, as servicer, and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company,
as trustee (the "Trustee"). The corpus of the Trust will include (a) all of
the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables in
each Account and all Collateral Security with respect thereto owned by the
Seller at the close of business on the Cut-Off Date, in the case of the
Initial Accounts, and on the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, in the case
of Additional Accounts, and all monies due or to become due and all amounts
received with respect thereto and all proceeds (including "proceeds" as
defined in Section 9-306 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Michigan and
Recoveries) thereof, (b) all of the Seller's rights, remedies, powers and
privileges with respect to such Receivables under the Receivables Purchase
Agreement, (c) all of the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under
the Receivables in each Account (other than any newly created Receivables in
any Designated Account) and all Collateral Security with respect thereto owned
by the Seller at the close of business of each Transfer Date and not
theretofore conveyed to the Trust, all monies due or to become due and all
amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds (including "proceeds"
as defined in Section 9-306 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Michigan
and Recoveries) thereof, (d) all monies on deposit in, and Eligible
Investments credited to, the Collection Account or any Series Account, (e) any
Enhancements and (f) all other assets and interests constituting the Trust.
Although a summary of certain provisions of the Agreement is set forth below,
this Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights,
benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights,
duties and obligations of the Trustee. A copy of the Agreement may be
requested from the Trustee by writing to the Trustee at One M&T Plaza,
Buffalo, New York 14203, Attention: Corporate Trust Department. To the extent
not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Agreement.
This CARCO Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement, as amended and
supplemented from time to time, the Seller by virtue of the acceptance hereof
assents and is bound.
It is the intent of the Seller and the holder of the CARCO
Certificate that, for Federal income taxes, state and local income, single
business and franchise taxes and any other taxes imposed on or measured by
income, the CARCO Certificate will be treated as indebtedness of CARCO secured
by the Receivables. The Servicer, by entering into the Agreement, the Seller,
the holder of the CARCO Certificate and each Holder of an Investor Certificate
for any Series, by acceptance of its Certificate, agrees to treat, and to take
no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the CARCO Certificate for
purposes of Federal income taxes, state and local income, single business and
franchise taxes and any other taxes imposed on or measured by income as
indebtedness of CARCO.
This Certificate is not permitted to be transferred, assigned,
exchanged or otherwise pledged or conveyed except in accordance with the
Agreement, including Sections 6.03(c) and 7.04 of the Agreement.
The Receivables consist of advances made directly or indirectly by
Chrysler Credit Corporation to domestic automobile dealers franchised by
Chrysler Corporation and/or other automobile manufacturers. Generally, the
principal amount of an advance is equal to the wholesale purchase price of new
automobiles, light duty trucks and certain other vehicles manufactured or
distributed by such manufacturers and, subject to certain exceptions, is due
upon the retail sale of such vehicles.
This Certificate is the CARCO Certificate, which represents the
Seller's interest in certain assets of the Trust, including the right to
receive a portion of the Collections and other amounts at the times and in the
amounts specified in the Agreement. The aggregate interest represented by the
CARCO Certificate at any time in the Receivables in the Trust shall not exceed
the Seller's Interest at such time. In addition to the CARCO Certificate, (i)
Investor Certificates will be issued to investors pursuant to the Agreement,
which will represent the Certificateholders' Interest and (ii) Supplemental
Certificates will be issued pursuant to the Agreement, which will represent
that portion of the Seller's Interest not allocated to the Seller. This CARCO
Certificate shall not represent any interest in the Collection Account, the
Series Accounts or any Enhancements, except as expressly provided in the
Agreement.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust created
thereby shall terminate upon the Trust Termination Date.
Upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.01 of the
Agreement and the surrender of the Seller's Certificate, the Trustee shall
sell, assign and convey to the Seller or its designee, without recourse,
representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Trust in the
Receivables, whether then existing or thereafter created, all Collateral
Security with respect thereto, all monies due or to become due and all amounts
received with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof, except for amounts
held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.02 (b) of the Agreement, and all of
the Seller's rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to such
Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case
without recourse, as shall be reasonably requested by the Seller to vest in
the Seller or its designee all right, title and interest which the Trust had
in all such property.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL
Provisions to be Included in Opinion of Counsel to be
Delivered Pursuant to Section 13.021d)(ii) and (iii)**
The opinions set forth below may be subject to all the
qualifications, assumptions, limitations and exceptions taken or made in the
opinion of counsel to Chrysler Auto Receivables Company (the "Seller")
delivered on any Closing Date. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
are used as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May
31, 1991 (as amended and supplemented, the "Agreement"), among the Seller, as
seller, Chrysler Credit Corporation, as servicer, and Manufacturers and
Traders Trust Company, as trustee.
[(a) The Assignment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by the Seller, and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the
Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms.]
(b) Assuming the Receivables [in the Additional Accounts] are created
under, and are evidenced solely by, Floorplan Financing Agreements, such
Receivables will constitute "chattel paper" as defined under Section 9-105 of
the UCC. We note that the Seller has given us an Officer's Certificate to the
effect that the Receivables are created under Floorplan Financing Agreements.
(c) If the transfer of the Receivables [in the Additional Accounts]
and all [of the related] Collateral Security to the Trust pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement constitutes a true sale of such Receivables
and Collateral Security to the Trust:
(i) with respect to such Receivables and Collateral Security in
existence on the date hereof, such sale transfers all of the right,
title and interest of the Seller in and to such Receivables and
Collateral Security to the Trust, free and clear of any liens now
existing or hereafter created, but subject to the rights of the
Seller as holder of the CARCO Certificate;
(ii) with respect to such Receivables and Collateral Security
which come into existence after the date hereof, upon the creation
of such Receivables and Collateral Security and the subsequent
transfer of such Receivables and Collateral Security to the Trust in
accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and receipt by
the Seller of the consideration therefor required pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such sale will transfer all of the
right, title and interest of the Seller in and to such Receivables
and Collateral Security to the Trust free and clear of any liens but
subject to the rights of the Seller as holder of the CARCO
Certificate;
--------------------
* Include bracketed language only in the case of additions of
Accounts effected pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
and, in either case, no further action will thereafter be required
under Michigan or federal law to protect the Trust's ownership
interest in the Receivables and the Collateral Security against
creditors of, or subsequent purchasers from, the Seller.
(d) If the transfer of the Receivables and Collateral Security to the
Trust pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement does not constitute a
true sale of the Receivables and the Collateral Security to the Trust, then
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as amended and supplemented by the
Assignment creates a valid security interest in favor of the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, in the Seller's right, title and interest
in and to the Receivables and the Collateral Security and the proceeds thereof
securing the obligations of the Seller thereunder. Financing statements on
form UCC-1 having been filed in the offices of the Secretaries of State of the
States of Michigan and [other applicable states] and accordingly, such
security interest constitutes a perfected security interest in such
Receivables and Collateral Security and the proceeds thereof subject to no
prior liens, enforceable as such against creditors of, and subsequent
purchasers from, the Seller, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting
creditors' rights generally and to general equity principles.

WITNESSETH
WHEREAS the Seller, Chrysler Credit Corporation, as servicer (the

Agreement dated as of May 31, 1991 (as amended or supplemented, the
"Agreement"):
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, the Seller wishes to remove all
Receivables from certain designated Accounts and the Collateral Security
thereof (the "Removed Accounts") and to cause the Trustee to reconvey the
Receivables of such Removed Accounts and such Collateral Security, whether now
existing or hereafter created, from the Trust to the Seller (as each such term
is defined in the Agreement); and
WHEREAS the Trustee is willing to accept such designation and to
reconvey the Receivables in the Removed Accounts and such Collateral Security
subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Seller and the Trustee hereby agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. All terms defined in the Agreement and used herein
shall have such defined meanings when used herein, unless otherwise defined
herein.
"Removal Commencement Date" shall mean, with respect to the Removal
Accounts designated hereby,

designated hereby, , .
2. Designation of Removed Accounts. The Seller shall deliver to the
Trustee, any Enhancement Providers and the Rating Agencies a computer file or
microfiche or written list containing a true and complete list of the Removed
Accounts, specifying for each such Account, as of the Removal Commencement
Date, its account number, the aggregate amount of Receivables outstanding in
such Accounts and the Designated Balance. Such list shall be marked as
Schedule 1 to this Reassignment and shall be incorporated into and made a part
of this Reassignment as of the Removal Date and shall amend Schedule 1 to the
Agreement.
3. Conveyance of Receivables and Accounts. (a) The Trustee does
hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Seller, without
recourse, representation or warranty on and after the Removal Date, all right,
title and interest of the Trust in, to and under all Receivables now existing
at the close of business on the Removal Date and thereafter created from time
to time until the termination of the Trust in Removed Accounts designated
hereby, all Collateral Security thereof, all monies due or to become due and
all amounts received with respect thereto (including all Non-Principal
Receivables), all proceeds (as defined in Section 9-306 of the UCC as in
effect in the State of Michigan and Recoveries) thereof relating thereto.
(b) If requested by the Seller, in connection with such transfer, the
Trustee agrees to execute and deliver to the Seller on or prior to the date of
this Reassignment, a termination statement with respect to the Receivables
existing at the close of business on the Removal Date and thereafter created
from time to time and Collateral Security thereof in the Removed Accounts
reassigned hereby (which may be a single termination statement with respect to
all such Receivables and Collateral Security) evidencing the release by the
Trust of its lien on the Receivables in the Removed Accounts and the
Collateral Security, and meeting the requirements of applicable state law, in
such manner and such jurisdictions as are necessary to remove such lien.
4. Acceptance by Trustee. The Trustee hereby acknowledges that, prior
to or simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Reassignment, the
Seller delivered to the Trustee the computer file or such microfiche or

hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and except as such enforceability may be limited by general
principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in
equity);
(b) No Early Amortization Event. The removal of the Accounts
hereby removed shall not, in the reasonable belief of the Seller,
cause an Early Amortization Event to occur or cause the Pool Balance
to be less than the Required Participation Amount;

the Seller to be adverse to the interests of the Beneficiaries were
utilized in selecting the Designated Accounts; and

execute and deliver this Reassignment is subject to the satisfaction, on or

so supplemented by this Reassignment shall be read, taken and construed as one
and the same instrument.
8. Counterparts. This Reassignment may be executed in two or more
counterparts, and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which
shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF
