ARTICLE VII
The Receivables
SECTION 7.01. Representations and Warranties of Depositor. Pursuant to
Article III, the Depositor has assigned to the Trust the benefit of, and its
rights respecting, the representations and warranties made to the Depositor in
the Purchase Agreement as to the Receivables on which the Trustee relies in
accepting the Receivables in trust and executing and authenticating the
Certificates.
22
Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of
the Purchase Agreement but shall survive the sale, transfer, and assignment of
the Receivables to the Trustee.
(a) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee that it
has entered into the Purchase Agreement with UAC and UAFC, that UAC and UAFC
have made the representations and warranties set forth therein, that such
representations and warranties run to and are for the benefit of the Depositor,
and that pursuant to Article III of this Agreement the Depositor has transferred
and assigned to the Trustee all rights of the Depositor to cause UAC under the
Purchase Agreement to repurchase Receivables in the event of a breach of such
representations and warranties.
(b) It is the intention of the Depositor that the transfer and
assignment herein contemplated, taken as a whole, constitute a sale of the
Receivables from the Depositor to the Trust and that the beneficial interest in
and title to the Receivables not be part of the receivership estate in the event
of the appointment of a receiver for the Depositor. No Receivable has been sold,
transferred, assigned, or pledged by the Depositor to any Person other than the
Trustee. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment herein contemplated,
the Depositor had good and marketable title to each Receivable free and clear of
all liens, and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, the Trustee (for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and the Insurer) shall have good and
marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of all liens and rights of
others, except for the rights of the Certificateholders and the Insurer; and the
transfer has been perfected under the UCC. On or prior to the Closing Date, all
filings (including, without limitation, UCC filings) necessary in any
jurisdiction to give the Trustee a first perfected ownership interest in the
Receivables shall have been made.
SECTION 7.02. Repurchase Upon Breach. The Depositor, UAC, the Servicer,
or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the Insurer and the other
parties promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the
representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement. This
obligation shall not constitute an obligation on the part of the Trustee to
actively seek to discover any such breaches. Unless the breach shall have been
cured by the second Record Date following the discovery, UAC, pursuant to its
obligations under the Purchase Agreement, shall repurchase any Receivable
materially and adversely affected by the breach as of such Record Date (or, at
UAC's option, the first Record Date following the discovery). In consideration
of the purchase of the Receivable, UAC shall remit the Purchase Amount, in the
manner specified in Section 9.03. The sole remedy of the Trustee, the Trust, or
the Certificateholders with respect to a breach of the representations and
warranties referred to in Section 7.01 shall be to require UAC to repurchase
Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and this Section 7.02.
SECTION 7.03. Custody of Receivable Files. To assure uniform quality in
servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Trustee, upon
the execution and delivery of the Agreement, hereby revocably appoints the
Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, for the benefit of
the Trust and the Certificateholders, to act as the agent of the Trustee as
custodian of the following documents or instruments which are hereby
constructively delivered to the Trustee with respect to each Receivable:
(i) The original of the Receivable.
(ii) The original credit application fully executed by the
Obligor.
23
(iii) The original certificate of title or such documents that
the Depositor or Servicer shall keep on file, in accordance with its
customary procedures, evidencing the security interest of the Depositor
in the Financed Vehicle.
(iv) Any and all other documents that the Servicer or the
Depositor shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary
procedures, relating to a Receivable, an Obligor, or a Financed
Vehicle.
SECTION 7.04. Duties of Servicer as Custodian.
(a) Safekeeping. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold
the Receivable Files on behalf of the Trustee for the use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders, and maintain such accurate and complete
accounts, records, and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable File as
shall enable the Trustee to comply with this Agreement. In performing its duties
as custodian the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of
skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to the receivable
files relating to all comparable automotive receivables that the Servicer
services for itself. The Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted,
periodic audits of the Receivable Files held by it under this Agreement, and of
the related accounts, records, and computer systems, in such a manner as shall
enable the Trustee to verify the accuracy of the Servicer's record keeping. The
Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee any failure on its part to hold
the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records, and computer systems as
herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure;
provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.03 or
this Section 7.04, the Servicer shall not be required to possess the original of
Receivables representing less than 2% of the Original Pool Balance until 30 days
following the Closing Date.
(b) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer shall maintain
each Receivable File at one of its offices specified in Schedule B to this
Agreement, or at such other office as shall be specified to the Trustee by prior
written notice. The Servicer shall make available to the Trustee or its duly
authorized representatives, attorneys, or auditors a list of locations of the
Receivable Files, the Receivable Files, and the related accounts, records, and
computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times as the Trustee shall
instruct.
(c) Release of Documents. Upon instruction from the Trustee, the
Servicer shall release any document in a Receivable File to the Trustee, the
Trustee's agent, or the Trustee's designee, as the case may be, at such place or
places as the Trustee may designate, as soon as practicable.
SECTION 7.05. Instructions; Authority to Act. The Servicer shall be
deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files
upon its receipt of written instructions signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee.
SECTION 7.06. Custodian's Indemnification. The Servicer, shall
indemnify the Trust and the Trustee (which shall include, for purposes of this
Section 7.06, its directors, officers, employees and agents) for any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs, or
expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred, or asserted
against the Trust or the Trustee as the result of any improper act or omission
in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer of the
Receivable Files; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for
any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad
faith, or
24
negligence of the Trustee. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
SECTION 7.07. Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer's
appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Cutoff Date and shall
continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section
7.07. If the Servicer shall resign in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer shall have
been terminated under Section 14.01, the appointment of the Servicer as
custodian may be terminated (i) by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not
less than 25% of the Certificate Balance and 25% of the Notional Principal
Amount of the Class I Certificates with the consent of the Insurer, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (ii) by the Insurer, without the
consent of the Holders of the Certificates (and, as to the rights of the Insurer
under (i) or (ii), so long as the Insurer is not in default of its obligations
under the Policy). The Trustee may terminate the Servicer's appointment as
custodian with cause at any time upon written notification to the Servicer. As
soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer
shall deliver the Receivable Files to the Trustee or the Trustee's agent at such
place or places as the Trustee, with the consent of the Insurer, may reasonably
designate.
ARTICLE VIII
Administration and Servicing of Receivables
SECTION 8.01. Duties of Servicer. The Servicer, for the benefit of the
Trust and the Certificateholders, shall manage, service, administer, and make
collections on the Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill
and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable
automotive receivables that it services for itself. The Servicer's duties shall
include collection and posting of all payments, making Advances (in the
Servicer's sole discretion), responding to inquiries of Obligors or of federal,
state or local governmental authorities with respect to the Receivables,
investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, accounting for
collections, and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Trustee with
respect to distributions. The Servicer shall follow its customary standards,
policies, and procedures in performing its duties as Servicer. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the
Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Trust, the
Certificateholders, or the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to such Receivables or to the
Financed Vehicles securing such Receivables. If the Servicer shall commence a
legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable, the Trustee
shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose
of collection, such Receivable to the Servicer. The Trustee shall execute any
documents prepared by the Servicer and delivered to the Trustee for execution
that are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties hereunder.
SECTION 8.02. Collection of Receivable Payments (a) The Servicer shall
make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of such Receivables as and when the same shall become due and shall
follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable
automotive receivables that it services for itself. If payments are extended in
the ordinary course of the Servicer's collection procedures, and, as a result,
any Receivable would be outstanding at the Stated Final Distribution Date, then
the Servicer shall be obligated to purchase
25
such Receivable pursuant to Section 8.07 (unless such Receivable is otherwise
being purchased pursuant to Section 16.02) as of the last day of the Collection
Period immediately preceding the Stated Final Distribution Date. The Servicer
may in its discretion waive any late payment charge or any other fees that it is
entitled to retain under Section 8.08, or other fee (to the extent consistent
with its credit and collection policy on the Closing Date) that may be collected
in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable.
(b) All allocations of payments with respect to a simple-interest
Receivable to principal and interest and determinations of periodic charges and
the like shall be made using the simple interest method, based on either the
actual number of days elapsed and the actual number of days in the calendar year
or on the basis of a thirty-day month and a 360-day calendar year, as specified
in the related installment sales contract or installment loan and security
agreement. Each payment on a simple interest Receivable shall be applied first
to the amount of interest accrued on such Receivable to the date of receipt;
second, to principal due on such Receivable; third, to late charges, if any,
accrued on such Receivable; and last, to reduce the remaining principal amount
outstanding on such Receivable. Payments made by or on behalf of an Obligor
including any Payaheads previously made and added to the Payahead Balance with
respect to a Precomputed Receivable shall be applied first to overdue Scheduled
Payments (including reduction of Outstanding Advances as provided in Section
9.04). Next, any excess shall be applied to the Scheduled Payment and any
remaining excess shall be added to the Payahead Balance, and shall be applied to
prepay the Precomputed Receivable, but only if such Payahead Balance shall be
sufficient to prepay the Receivable in full. Otherwise, any such remaining
excess payments shall constitute a Payahead and shall increase the Payahead
Balance.
SECTION 8.03. Realization Upon Receivables. (a) On behalf of the Trust
the Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with its customary servicing
procedures, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed
Vehicle securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer shall have determined
that eventual payment in full is unlikely. The Servicer shall follow such
customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or
advisable in its servicing of automotive receivables, which may include
reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers and selling the
Financed Vehicle at public or private sale. The foregoing shall be subject to
the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have
suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with the
repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in
its discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the
Liquidation Proceeds. After appropriate disposition of the Financed Vehicle, the
Servicer shall also take such measures as it deems reasonable and appropriate to
realize value in respect of any deficiency balance of the Receivable including
pursuit of action on behalf of the Trust against the Obligor or public or
private sale of the Trust's remaining interest in such Receivable.
(b) Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, the Servicer shall
either purchase or liquidate each Financed Vehicle that has not previously been
liquidated and that secures, or previously secured, a Defaulted Receivable
either (i) by the end of the Collection Period preceding the final scheduled
Distribution Date during the life of the Trust or (ii) if earlier, by the end of
the ninth Collection Period following the Collection Period during which such
Receivable became a Defaulted Receivable. Any purchase of a Financed Vehicle by
the Servicer shall be made at a price equal to the fair market value of the
Financed Vehicle as determined by the Servicer in accordance with the Servicer's
normal servicing standards.
26
SECTION 8.04. Physical Damage Insurance. The Servicer, in accordance
with its customary servicing procedures and underwriting standards, shall
require that each Obligor shall have obtained and shall maintain physical damage
insurance covering the Financed Vehicle.
SECTION 8.05. Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles.
The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, take
such steps as are necessary to ensure that perfection of the security interest
created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle has been obtained,
and to maintain such security interest. The Trustee hereby authorizes the
Servicer to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security
interest on behalf of the Trust in the event of the relocation of a Financed
Vehicle or for any other reason. Without limiting the forgoing, in the event
that the Servicer consigns a repossessed Financed Vehicle to an affiliate for
liquidation, it shall take such measures as are necessary or appropriate to
maintain the security interest in the Financed Vehicle in the hands of the
consignee until such Financed Vehicle is liquidated, including appropriate
precautionary UCC-1 filings. In addition, UAC and/or such affiliate will notify
the creditors, if any, of such affiliate that have entered into a consignment
arrangement on or before such arrangements are made.
SECTION 8.06. Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer shall not release the
Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable from the security interest granted by
such Receivable in whole or in part except in the event of payment in full by
the Obligor thereunder or repossession, nor shall the Servicer impair the rights
of the Certificateholders in the Receivables, nor shall the Servicer change the
amount of the Scheduled Payment under a Receivable or change the Amount Financed
under a Receivable or reduce the Note Rate of a Receivable (except if so ordered
by a bankruptcy court in a proceeding concerning the Obligor or otherwise
mandated by law).
SECTION 8.07. Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. The Servicer or the
Trustee shall inform the other party and the Insurer promptly, in writing, upon
the discovery of (i) any breach by the Servicer of its obligations under Section
8.06 or (ii) the existence of the Servicer's obligation to purchase a Receivable
pursuant to Section 8.02(a). This obligation shall not constitute an obligation
on the part of the Trustee to discover any such breaches or circumstances.
Unless the breach under Section 8.06 shall have been cured by the second Record
Date following the discovery, the Servicer shall purchase any Receivable
materially and adversely affected by such breach as of such day (or, at the
Servicer's election, as of the first Record Date following the discovery). In
consideration of the purchase of such Receivable, the Servicer shall remit the
Purchase Amount with respect to such Receivable in the manner specified in
Section 9.03. The sole remedy of the Trustee, the Trust, or the
Certificateholders with respect to a breach pursuant to Section 8.06 or the
grant of an extension which triggers an obligation of the Servicer under Section
8.02(a) shall be to require the Servicer to purchase Receivables pursuant to
this Section 8.07, except as provided in Section 13.02.
SECTION 8.08. Servicing Fee. The servicing fee for a Collection Period
shall equal the Monthly Servicing Fee (except that in the case of a successor
Servicer, the servicing fee shall equal such amount as is arranged in accordance
with Section 14.02). The Servicer shall be entitled to retain from payments of
interest on the Receivables collected during a Collection Period an amount equal
to the Monthly Servicing Fee due the Servicer in respect of such Collection
Period and need not deposit such amount in the Certificate Account. The Servicer
shall also be entitled to retain, and need not deposit in the Certificate
Account, all late fees, Prepayment Charges, other administrative fees or similar
charges allowed by applicable law with respect to Receivables, if any, collected
(from whatever source) on the Receivables. The Monthly Servicing Fee will be
paid only out of the funds
27
of the Trust and not from the Trustee's own funds. So long as Union Acceptance
Corporation is the Servicer, if the Servicer fails to pay the Trustee's fees and
expenses pursuant to Section 15.07, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive
such amount from the Monthly Servicing Fee prior to payment thereof to the
Servicer and the Servicer shall not retain from collections that portion of the
Monthly Servicing Fee equal to any fees of the Trustee that are due and payable
and any unpaid amount that the Servicer has received notice is due the Trustee
as reimbursement for expenses.
SECTION 8.09. Servicer's Certificate. On or before the Determination
Date following each Collection Period, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee
and the Insurer a Servicer's Certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit 3
attached hereto containing all information necessary to make the distributions
pursuant to Section 9.04 for the Collection Period preceding the date of such
Servicer's Certificate and all information necessary for the Trustee to send
statements to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 9.07, including (A) the
amount of aggregate collections on the Receivables, (B) the aggregate Purchase
Amount of the Receivables repurchased by UAC and purchased by the Servicer, (C)
with respect to Precomputed Receivables the net deposit from the Certificate
Account to the Payahead Account or the net withdrawal from the Payahead Account
to the Certificate Account required for the Collection Period in accordance with
Section 9.09, and in the case of a net withdrawal, the Monthly Interest and
Monthly Principal reported on such Servicer's Certificate shall reflect the
portions of such withdrawal allocable to interest and principal, respectively,
in accordance with this Agreement, (D) the amount, if any, to be withdrawn from
the Spread Account and the amount, if any, to be drawn on the Policy, (E)
information respecting (i) delinquent Receivables that are 30, 60 and 90 days
past due, and (ii) the number of repossessions of Financed Vehicles during the
preceding Collection Period, number of unliquidated repossessed Financed
Vehicles, gross and net losses on the Receivables, and recoveries on charged off
Receivables; and (F) each other item listed in Section 9.04 hereof reasonably
requested by a Rating Agency or the Insurer in order to monitor the performance
of the Receivables. Receivables purchased by UAC as of the last day of such
Collection Period shall be identified by the UAC account number with respect to
such Receivable (as specified in Schedule A to this Agreement).
SECTION 8.10. Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Default. (a)
The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Insurer, on or before April 30
of each year, beginning on the first April 30 that is at least six months after
the Closing Date, an Officers' Certificate, dated as of December 31 of the
preceding year, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer
during the preceding 12-month period (or in the case of the initial Officer's
Certificate, the period from the Closing Date to and including the date of such
Officer's Certificate) and of its performance under this Agreement has been made
under such officer's supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer's
knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations
under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in
the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to
such officer and the nature and status thereof. A copy of such certificate and
the report referred to in Section 8.11 may be obtained by any Certificateholder
at its own expense by a request in writing to the Trustee addressed to the
Corporate Trust Office.
(b) The Servicer shall deliver to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
and the Insurer, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no
event later than 5 Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officers'
Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or
both, would become an Event of Default under Section 14.01. The Depositor or UAC
shall deliver to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and the Insurer, promptly
after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than 5 Business
Days thereafter, written notice in
28
an Officers' Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse
of time, or both, would become an Event of Default under clause (ii) of Section
14.01.
SECTION 8.11. Annual Independent Certified Public Accountant's Report.
The Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants, who
may also render other services to the Servicer, to deliver to the Trustee and
the Insurer on or before September 30 of each year concerning the 12-month
period ended June 30 of such year (or shorter period since the date of this
Agreement), beginning on the first September 30 following the first June 30
after the Closing Date, a report addressed to the Board of Directors of the
Servicer to the effect that such firm has reviewed the servicing of the
Receivables by the Servicer and that such review (1) included tests relating to
new or used automobile, van and light truck loans 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 (2) except as
described in the report, disclosed no exceptions or errors in the records
relating to automobile, van or light truck loans serviced for others that, in
the firm's opinion, paragraph four of such program requires such firm to report.
The report will also indicate that the firm is independent of the
Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
SECTION 8.12. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to the Certificateholders access to the
Receivables Files in such cases where the Certificateholder shall be required by
applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation. Access shall be
afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal
business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this
Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable
law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the
failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such
obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 8.12.
SECTION 8.13. Servicer Expenses. The Servicer shall be required to pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder,
including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, taxes imposed on
the Servicer, and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports
to Certificateholders.

to any Certificateholder who so requests in writing (addressed to the Corporate
Trust Office) a copy of any certificate described in Section 8.09, or the annual
statement described in Section 8.10, or the annual report described in Section
8.11. The Trustee may require the Certificateholder to pay a reasonable sum to
cover the cost of the Trustee's complying with such request.
ARTICLE IX

SECTION 9.01. Certificate Account. The Servicer, on behalf of the
Trust, shall establish the Certificate Account with an Eligible Bank as a
segregated trust account in the name of the Trust for the benefit of
Certificateholders with the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Servicer
shall direct the Trustee to invest the amounts in the Certificate Account in
Eligible Investments that mature
29
not later than the Business Day prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date
and to hold such Eligible Investments to maturity. The Trustee (or its
custodian) shall (i) maintain possession of any negotiable instruments or

not have been paid or that must be refunded as the result of a successful claim
or defense under bankruptcy or similar laws) not later than the second Business
Day following the Business Day on which such amounts are received by the
Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as (a) UAC remains the
Servicer, (b) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
(c)(1) UAC maintains a short-term rating of at least A-1 by Standard & Poor's
and P-l by Moody's (and for five Business Days following a reduction in either
such rating) or (2) prior to ceasing daily remittances, the Rating Agency
Condition shall have been satisfied (and any conditions or limitations imposed
by the Rating Agencies in connection therewith are complied with) and the prior
written consent of the Insurer (not to be unreasonably withheld) shall have been
obtained, the Servicer may remit all such payments and Liquidation Proceeds with
respect to any Collection Period to the Certificate Account on a less frequent
basis, but in no event later than the Determination Date immediately preceding
each Distribution Date. The Servicer shall remit any Advances with respect to a
Collection Period to the Certificate Account on or before the Determination
Date.
On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine (a) the amount
of payments on all Receivables and all Liquidation Proceeds received during such
Collection Period, the amount of Advances for such Collection Period, and the
Purchase Amount for all Receivables purchased or repurchased with respect to
such Collection Period which have been deposited in the Certificate Account,
including investment income derived from the Certificate Account (net of amounts
required to be paid pursuant to Section 9.04(d) and not including amounts
required to be paid pursuant to Sections 7.02, 8.07, and 9.05 but not so paid)
after giving effect to the net transfer from the Certificate Account to the
Payahead Account or from the Payahead Account to the Certificate Account as
provided in Section 9.09 (the "Available Funds"), and (b) the amount of funds
necessary to make the distributions required pursuant to Sections 9.04(a) (i)
through (vii), inclusive, on the next Distribution Date. The Servicer shall by a
Servicer's Certificate notify the Trustee of such amounts by telecopy to the
Corporate Trust Office at the number specified in this Agreement (or such other
number as the Trustee may from time to time provide), followed promptly by
mailing such notice to the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office and to the
Insurer. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee, or the Servicer on its behalf,
shall effect the net transfer between the Certificate Account and the Payahead
Account as required by Section 9.09 for such Distribution Date.
On any Distribution Date on which there are not sufficient Available
Funds to make the distributions required pursuant to Sections 9.04(a)(i) through
(iii) the Trustee, or the Servicer on its behalf, shall withdraw from the Spread
Account, to the extent of the Available Spread Amount, an amount equal to such
deficiency and promptly deposit such amount in the Certificate Account. If such
deficiency exceeds the Available Spread Amount, the Servicer shall
simultaneously and in the
30
same manner also notify the Trustee and the Insurer of the amount of such excess
deficiency. The Trustee shall promptly (and in any event not later than 1:00
p.m. New York City time on the Business Day preceding the Distribution Date)
deliver a Notice for Payment as defined in the Policy (appropriately completed)
to the Fiscal Agent with respect to the Policy. The Insurer is required pursuant
to Section 10.03 and the terms of the Policy to pay the amount of such excess
deficiency of Monthly Interest and Monthly Principal, up to the Policy Amount.
The Trustee shall deposit in the Certificate Account any funds received
by the Trustee in respect of funds drawn under the Policy from the Insurer.
If the Available Funds for a Distribution Date are insufficient to pay
current and past due Insurance Premiums, or any amounts owing to the Insurer
pursuant to the Insurance Agreement including, without limitation,
reimbursements, indemnities, fees and expenses, plus accrued interest thereon,
to the Insurer, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee of such deficiency, and
the Available Spread Amount, if any, then on deposit in the Spread Account
(after giving effect to any withdrawal to satisfy a deficiency in Monthly
Interest or Monthly Principal) shall be available to cover such deficiency.
SECTION 9.03. Purchase Amounts. Not later than the Determination Date,
the Servicer or UAC shall remit to the Certificate Account the aggregate
Purchase Amount for such Collection Period pursuant to Sections 7.02 and 8.07.
SECTION 9.04. Distributions to Parties. (a) On each Distribution Date,
the Trustee shall apply or cause to be applied the Available Funds in the
Certificate Account for the prior Collection Period, (plus any amounts withdrawn
from the Spread Account or drawn on the Policy pursuant to Section 9.02), to
make the following distributions in the listed order of priority:
(i) Without duplication, an amount equal to the sum of
(y) Outstanding Advances on all Receivables that became Defaulted
Receivables during the prior Collection Period, plus (z) Outstanding
Advances which the Servicer determines to be unrecoverable pursuant to
Section 9.05, to the Servicer;
(ii) To the extent not previously distributed to the
Servicer, the Monthly Servicing Fee, including any overdue Monthly
Servicing Fee, to the Servicer;
(iii) (y) Monthly Principal (in accordance with the
Principal Distribution Sequence) and Class A Monthly Interest,
including any overdue Monthly Principal and Class A Monthly Interest,
to the Class A Certificateholders, and (z) Class I Monthly Interest,
including any overdue Class I Monthly Interest, to the Class I
Certificateholders;
(iv) The Insurance Premium, including any overdue
Insurance Premium, plus accrued interest thereon at the rate provided
in the Insurance Agreement, to the Insurer;
(v) The amount of Recoveries of Advances, to the Servicer
(to the extent not applied pursuant to (i) above on or prior to such
Distribution Date);
(vi) The aggregate amount of all unreimbursed draws made
on the Policy in respect of Class A Monthly Interest, Class I Monthly
Interest and Monthly Principal and
31
any other amounts payable to the Insurer under the Insurance Agreement,
plus accrued interest thereon at the rate provided in the Insurance
Agreement, to the Insurer;
(vii) The balance for deposit in the Spread Account. The
rights of the Class IC Certificateholder to receive distributions from
the Spread Account are described in Sections 10.02(e) and (f).
(b)(i) If on any Distribution Date there are not sufficient Available
Funds (together with amounts withdrawn from the Spread Account and/or the
Policy) to pay the distribution required by Section 9.04(a)(iii), the Available
Funds distributable under Section 9.04(a)(iii) shall be distributed
proportionately on the basis of the ratio of the required distribution due each
of the Class A Certificateholders and the Class I Certificateholders,
respectively, to the sum of the distributions required by Section 9.04(a)(iii)
to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class I Certificateholders. The amount
so distributed to the Class A Certificateholders hereunder shall be allocated
first to Class A Monthly Interest, and second to Monthly Principal and shall be
distributed pro rata among the Class A Certificateholders based upon the
relative outstanding Certificate Balance of each class of Class A Certificates.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Class I
Certificateholders will not be entitled to any distributions after the
Notional Principal Amount of the Class I Certificates has been reduced
to zero.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Class IC
Certificateholder exercises its option to cause a disposition of the
remaining corpus of the Trust on any Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 16.02: (a) the Available Funds and amounts withdrawn from the
Spread Account or drawn on the Policy in respect only of Monthly
Interest and Monthly Principal with respect to the immediately
preceding Distribution Date as determined in accordance with Section
9.02 and 9.04 shall be distributed to Certificateholders on such
Distribution Date; (b) the Policy will not be available to pay any
shortfall of Monthly Interest or Monthly Principal after a disposition
of the Receivables pursuant to Section 16.02; and (c) the Optional
Disposition Price and any remaining assets of the Trust (including the
remaining Available Spread Amount) shall be distributed to
Certificateholders on such Distribution Date based on their Adjusted
Capital Accounts (as defined in Section 6(c)(iv) of Annex A attached
hereto) in accordance with Section 6(b)(iii) and Section 9 of Annex A
attached hereto.
(iv) In making such distributions, the Trustee shall be
entitled to rely (without investigation, confirmation or recalculation)
upon all information and calculations contained in the Servicer's
Certificate delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.09 hereof.
(v) All monthly distributions shall be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to each Certificateholder of
record on the preceding Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
final payment on each Certificate shall be made only against
presentation and surrender of the Certificate at the office or agency
then maintained by the Trustee in accordance with Section 11.07.
(c) Intentionally Blank.
32
(d) On each Distribution Date, if the Servicer has reported to the
Trustee in the Servicer's Certificate for any Collection Period that an Obligor
or an Obligor's representative or successor successfully shall have asserted a
claim or defense under bankruptcy law or similar laws for the protection of
creditors generally (including the avoidance of a preferential transfer under
bankruptcy law) that results in a liability of the Trust to such Obligor for
monies previously collected and remitted to the Trustee and not otherwise netted
against collections pursuant to Section 9.02, the Trustee shall make all
payments in respect of such claims or defenses out of the amounts on deposit in
the Certificate Account with respect to such Collection Period before making the
distributions required by paragraph (a) of this Section 9.04.
(e) If the Servicer has failed to provide the Trustee with the notice
required pursuant to Section 9.02, the Trustee may calculate Monthly Interest
and Monthly Principal and apply funds, if any, in the Certificate Account as of
the last day of the Collection Period, to make a distribution of Monthly
Interest and Monthly Principal to the Certificateholders.
SECTION 9.05. Advances. (a) As of the last day of the initial
Collection Period, the Servicer shall advance funds equal to the excess, if any,
of Monthly Interest due in respect of the initial Collection Period, over the
Collected Interest for such Collection Period; and (b) as of the last day of
each Collection Period, the Servicer shall advance funds in the amount of the
Interest Advance Amount (or such other amount as the Servicer shall reasonably
determine to cover an Interest Shortfall) with respect to each Receivable that
is delinquent for more than 30 days, in each such case, to the extent that the
Servicer, in its sole discretion, determines that the Advance will be
recoverable from payments by or on behalf of the Obligor, the Purchase Amount,
or Liquidation Proceeds. With respect to each Receivable, the Advance paid
pursuant to this Section 9.05 shall increase Outstanding Advances. Outstanding
Advances shall be reduced by subsequent payments by or on behalf of the Obligor,
collections of Liquidation Proceeds, or payments of the Purchase Amount. The
Servicer shall remit any Advances with respect to a Collection Period to the
Certificate Account by the related Determination Date.
If the Servicer shall determine that an Outstanding Advance with
respect to any Receivable shall not be recoverable, the Servicer shall be
reimbursed from any collections made on other Receivables in the Trust, and
Outstanding Advances with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced
accordingly.
SECTION 9.06. Net Deposits. For so long as Union Acceptance Corporation
is the Servicer, Union Acceptance Corporation (in whatever capacity) may make
the remittances with respect to any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 9.02
above, net of amounts to be distributed to itself or its delegee under Section
13.06 (also in whatever capacity) pursuant to Section 9.04, if it determines
pursuant to Section 9.02 that there is no deficiency in Available Funds for such
Distribution Date. Nonetheless, the Servicer shall account for all of the above
described amounts as if such amounts were deposited and distributed.
SECTION 9.07. Statements to Certificateholders. On each Distribution
Date, the Trustee shall include with each distribution to the Certificateholders
and shall mail to the Rating Agency a statement, based on information in the
Servicer's Certificate furnished to the Trustee by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 8.09, setting forth for the Collection Period relating to such
Distribution Date the following information (which in the case of items (i)
through (v), inclusive, shall be based on a Certificate in a principal amount of
$1,000):
33
(i) the amount of the aggregate distribution that constitutes Class A
Monthly Interest (including the amount thereof which constitutes Class A-1
Monthly Interest, Class A-2 Monthly Interest, Class A-3 Monthly Interest, Class
A-4 Monthly Interest and Class A-5 Monthly Interest);
(ii) the amount of the aggregate distribution that constitutes Class I
Monthly Interest and the Notional Principal Amount (after giving effect to any
application of Monthly Principal required to be made on such date) on which
Class I Monthly Interest will be calculated on that next succeeding Distribution
Date;
(iii) the amount of the aggregate distribution that constitutes Monthly
Principal (including the amount thereof which constitutes Class A-1 Monthly
Principal, Class A-2 Monthly Principal, Class A-3 Monthly Principal, Class A-4
Monthly Principal and Class A-5 Monthly Principal);
(iv) the Certificate Balance (after giving effect to any distribution
of Monthly Principal made on such Distribution Date) and the Class A-1
Certificate Balance, the Class A-2 Certificate Balance, the Class A-3
Certificate Balance, the Class A-4 Certificate Balance and the Class A-5
Certificate Balance comprising the Certificate Balance on which Class A-1
Monthly Interest, Class A-2 Monthly Interest, Class A-3 Monthly Interest, Class
A-4 Monthly Interest and Class A-5 Monthly Interest will be calculated on the
next succeeding Distribution Date;
(v) the Certificate Factor (after giving effect to any distribution of
Monthly Principal made on such Distribution Date) and the Class A-1 Certificate
Factor, the Class A-2 Certificate Factor, the Class A-3 Certificate Factor, the
Class A-4 Certificate Factor and the Class A-5 Certificate Factor;
(vi) the amount on deposit in the Spread Account after giving effect to
distributions made on such Distribution Date;
(vii) the Monthly Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date.
(viii) the Insurance Premium for such Distribution Date;
(ix) the Policy Amount (after giving effect to any draw on the Policy
or the Spread Account on such Distribution Date).
Within the prescribed period of time for tax reporting purposes after
the end of each calendar year during the term of the Agreement, the Trustee
shall mail, to each Person who at any time during such calendar year shall have
been a Certificateholder, a statement containing the annual sum of the
respective amounts determined in clauses (i) through (iii) for such calendar
year, as applicable to such Person, or, in the event such Person shall have been
a Certificateholder during a portion of such calendar year, for the applicable
portion of such year, unless substantially comparable information has been
provided to such Certificateholder, for the purposes of such Certificateholder's
preparation of federal income tax returns pursuant to Section 5(b) of Annex A
hereto. To the extent required by applicable law, the Servicer shall prepare or
cause to be prepared and the Class IC Certificateholder or the Trustee shall
sign the tax returns of the Trust and shall file such returns and such of the
above information with the Internal Revenue Service.
SECTION 9.08. Intentionally Blank.
34
SECTION 9.09. Payahead Account. The Servicer shall establish the
Payahead Account in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Obligors and the
Certificateholders as their interests may appear. The Payahead Account shall be
a segregated interest bearing trust account established with the Trustee or an
Eligible Bank. Amounts in the Payahead Account shall be invested in Eligible
Investments that mature not later than the Business Day prior to the next
succeeding Distribution Date. The Payahead Account is not property of the Trust.
Investment income or interest earned on the Payahead Account shall be remitted
to the Servicer at least monthly, or as frequently as the Servicer may
reasonably request. On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall
transfer or the Trustee (as instructed in the Servicer's Certificate) shall
transfer (a) from the Certificate Account to the Payahead Account, in
immediately available funds, all Payaheads received by the Servicer and
previously deposited to the Certificate Account during the Collection Period as
described in Section 8.02(b); and (b) from the Payahead Account to the
Certificate Account, in immediately available funds, the aggregate amount of
previously deposited Payaheads to be applied to Scheduled Payments on
Precomputed Receivables for the related Collection Period or prepayments for the
related Collection Period, pursuant to Section 8.02(b), each in the amounts set
forth in the Servicer's Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date.
A single, net transfer between the Payahead Account and the Certificate Account
may be made. Any amount deposited in the Payahead Account shall not constitute
Available Funds under Section 9.02. Any amount deposited to the Certificate
Account from the Payahead Account pursuant to Section 9.09(b) shall be included
in Available Funds under Section 9.02.
SECTION 9.10. Calculation of Notional Principal Amount.
(a) Solely for the purpose of calculating the Class I Monthly Interest,
the Certificate Balance will be divided into, and equal the sum of, two
principal components: (i) the "PAC Component" and (ii) the "Companion
Component." The PAC Component shall initially equal the Original Notional
Principal Amount and will equal the Notional Principal Amount on each
Distribution Date thereafter.
(b) On each Distribution Date, solely for the purposes of calculating
the Notional Principal Amount, the amount of Monthly Principal distributed to
Class A Certificateholders will be allocated (i) first, to the PAC Component up
to the amount necessary to reduce the PAC Component to its Planned Notional
Principal Amount for such Distribution Date, (ii) second, to the Companion
Component until the balance thereof is reduced to zero, and (iii) third, to the
PAC Component without regard to the Planned Notional Principal Amount for such
Distribution Date.

SECTION 10.01. Subordination. The rights of the Class IC
Certificateholder shall be subordinated to the rights of the Class A
Certificateholders and the Class I Certificateholders to the extent described in
Section 9.04.
SECTION 10.02. Spread Account.
(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and
maintain a segregated trust account with the Trustee or in the corporate trust
department of another Eligible Bank referred
35
to herein as the "Spread Account." The Spread Account shall be maintained in the
name of the Trustee. The Spread Account and any amounts on deposit therein shall
be part of the Trust and shall be for the benefit of the Certificateholders and
the Insurer, as their respective interests may appear herein; provided, however,
that the interest of the Insurer and the Class IC Certificateholder shall be
subordinated to the interests of the other Certificateholders as provided
herein.
(b) Funds on deposit in the Spread Account shall be invested in
Eligible Investments in the same manner and subject to the same requirements and
limitations as the investment of funds in the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 9.01, including the limitation that Eligible Investments mature not
later than the Business Day prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date;
provided, however, no such limitation on the maturity of Eligible Investments
shall apply if the Trust obtains the benefit of a liquidity facility or similar
arrangement from a commercial bank with an Approved Rating or other provider
approved in advance in writing by the Insurer, with respect to funds in the
Spread Account (a "Spread Account Facility") and Standard & Poor's and Xxxxx'x
confirm in writing that the rating of the Certificates will not be lowered or
withdrawn as a result of eliminating or modifying the limitation on the maturity
of Permitted Investments in respect of the Spread Account. For purposes of
determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Spread Account for
any reason under this Agreement, investment earnings on such funds shall be
deemed to be available or on deposit only to the extent that the aggregate of
such amounts, plus the funds on deposit in the Spread Account, do not exceed the
Required Spread Amount.
(c) If on any Distribution Date the amount of Available Funds is
insufficient to make the distributions required by Sections 9.04(a)(i) through
(iii), the Trustee shall withdraw or cause to be withdrawn from the Spread
Account and deposited in the Certificate Account the lesser of (i) the entire
Available Spread Amount and (ii) the amount necessary to make up such deficiency
to pay any deficiency in permitted reimbursements of Outstanding Advances
pursuant to Section 9.04(a)(i), the Monthly Servicing Fee, Monthly Interest and
Monthly Principal (prior to making any draw on the Policy), all as provided in
Sections 9.02 and 9.04 and the Policy.
(d) On each Distribution Date, all distributions made pursuant to
Section 9.04(a) (vii) shall be deposited into the Spread Account.
(e) If the amount on deposit in the Spread Account, after giving effect
to the distributions set forth in Section 9.04 (including, without limitation,
payment of amounts due and owing to the Insurer) is greater than the Required
Spread Amount on such Distribution Date, the amount of such excess shall be
distributed to the Class IC Certificateholder. Amounts properly distributed to
the Class IC Certificateholder pursuant to this Section, either directly without
deposit in the Spread Account or from excess amounts in the Spread Account shall
be deemed released from the Trust and from any security interest of the Trustee
or the Insurer.
(f) Upon the termination of this Agreement and the Trust pursuant to
Section 16.01, amounts remaining in the Spread Account, after payment of any
amounts due and owing to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class I
Certificateholders and to the Insurer, shall be distributed to the Class IC
Certificateholder and such amounts shall not be subject to any claims or rights
of the other Certificateholders to the extent that such action is not
inconsistent with Section 6(b)(ii) and Section 9 of Annex A hereto.
36
SECTION 10.03. Policy.
(a) The Insurer is required under the terms of the Policy to pay Class
A Monthly Interest, Class I Monthly Interest and Monthly Principal up to the
Policy Amount in the event of any deficiency of Available Funds to pay such
amounts (after permitted reimbursements of Outstanding Advances and payment of
the Monthly Servicing Fee) not covered by amounts withdrawn from the Spread
Account, as determined pursuant to Section 9.02 to the Trustee for credit to the
Certificate Account on the later of (a) 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
Distribution Date and (b) 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day
immediately succeeding presentation to the Fiscal Agent of the Trustee's demand
therefor. Any demand for payment pursuant to Section 9.02 to the Fiscal Agent
received by the Fiscal Agent on a Business Day after 1:00 p.m., New York City
time, or on any day that is not a Business Day, will be deemed to be received by
the Fiscal Agent at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next Business Day.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on a Dissolution Distribution Date, the
obligations of the Insurer under the Policy shall be limited in accordance with
Section 9.04(b)(iii). The Trustee hereby agrees on behalf of each Class A
Certificateholder and each Class I Certificateholder (and each Class A
Certificateholder and each Class I Certificateholder, by its acceptance of its
Certificates, hereby agrees) for the benefit of the Insurer that the Trustee
shall recognize that to the extent the Insurer makes a payment under the Policy,
either directly or indirectly (as by paying through the Trustee), to the Class A
Certificateholders or the Class I Certificateholders, the Insurer will be
entitled to be subrogated to the rights of the Class A Certificateholders and
the Class I Certificateholders to the extent of such payments. Any rights of
subrogation acquired by the Insurer as a result of any payment made under the
Policy shall, in all respects, be subordinate and junior in right of payment to
the prior indefeasible payment in full of all amounts due the Trustee on account
of payments due under the Class A Certificates and the Class I Certificates
pursuant to Section 9.04 hereof.
(b) The Insurer shall pay any Preference Amounts, but only after there
shall have been delivered to the Insurer (x) a certified copy of a final order
of the court exercising jurisdiction in the Insolvency Proceeding to the effect
that the Trustee is required to return any such payment or portion thereof prior
to the Termination Date (as defined in the Policy) of the policy because such
payment was voided under applicable law, with respect to which order the appeal
period has expired without an appeal having been filed (the "Final Order"), (y)
an assignment, in the form of Exhibit D to the Policy, irrevocably assigning to
the Insurer all rights and claims of such Trustee relating to or arising under
such Avoided Payment and (z) a Notice for Payment in the form of Exhibit A to
the Policy appropriately completed and executed by the Trustee. Such payment
shall be disbursed to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee
in bankruptcy named in the Final Order and not to the Trustee directly. In no
event shall the Insurer pay more than one Insured Payment in respect of any
Preference Amount.
The Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the Certificateholders, agrees
that the Insurer may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding
relating to a Final Order direct all matters relating to such Final Order,
including, without limitation, the direction of any appeal of any order relating
to such Final Order and the posting of any surety, supersedeas or performance
bond pending any such appeal. In addition and without limitation of the
foregoing, the Insurer shall be subrogated, to the extent of the Insured
Payments, to the rights of UAC, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee and
each Certificateholder in the conduct of any preference claim, including,
without limitation, all rights of any party to any adversarial proceeding or
action with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such
preference claim.

ARTICLE XI
The Certificates
SECTION 11.01. The Certificates. The Class A Certificates shall be
issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof; provided,
however, that one Class A-1 Certificate, one Class A-2 Certificate, one Class
A-3 Certificate, one Class A-4 Certificate and one Class A-5 Certificate may be
issued in a denomination that represents any residual amount of such class and
that such residual amount Certificates may be retained by the Depositor. The
Class I Certificates shall be issued in one or more whole dollar denominations
which in the aggregate do not exceed the Original Notional Principal Amount;
provided, however, that one Class I Certificate may be issued in a denomination
that represents any residual amount of Class I Certificates. The Class IC
Certificate shall be issued in the form of one or more Certificates and shall
initially be issued to the Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed on
behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed,
authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be valid and binding
obligations of the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery
of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificates.
SECTION 11.02. Authentication of Certificates. The Trustee shall cause
the Certificates to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated, and
delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its chairman
of the board, its president, or any vice president, without further corporate
action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations, pursuant to this
Agreement. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this
Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such
Certificate a certificate of authentication, substantially as set forth in the
forms of Certificate attached as exhibits to this Agreement, executed by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee by manual signature; such authentication
shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date
of their authentication.
SECTION 11.03. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or
agency maintained pursuant to Section 11.07, a Certificate Register in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall be the initial Certificate
Registrar.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the
Corporate Trust Office, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate, and deliver, in
the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount dated the
date of authentication by the Trustee, provided, however, that registration of
transfer of the Class IC Certificate may not be effected unless (A) the Trustee
receives an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to it, to the effect that (i) such
transfer may be made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (ii) such transfer
will not adversely affect the tax treatment of the Trust or the Certificates;
(B) the Insurer has consented to such transfer and (C) the Rating Agency
Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such transfer. At the option
of a Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of
38
authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office.
Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the
Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate surrendered
for registration of transfer and exchange shall be canceled and subsequently
destroyed by the Trustee.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
SECTION 11.04. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost, or Stolen Certificates. If
(a) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar,
or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss, or theft of any Certificate and (b) there shall be
delivered to the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of
notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost, or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and
denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section 11.04, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section 11.04 shall constitute conclusive 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 11.05. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to registration of
transfer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose
name any Certificate shall be registered as the owner of such Certificate for
the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 9.04 and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar
shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 11.06. Access to Agreement and List of Certificateholders'
Names and Addresses. The Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Servicer, within 15 days after receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor from
the Servicer in writing, a list, in such form as the Servicer may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most
recent Record Date. If three or more Certificateholders, or one or more Holders
of Certificates aggregating not less than 25% of the Certificate Balance or not
less than 25% of the Notional Principal Amount of the Class I Certificates,
apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that the applicants
desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights
under this Agreement or under the Certificates and such application shall be
accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to
transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of
such application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours to
the current list of Certificateholders. The Trustee shall also allow any

able to properly discharge its responsibilities under the Depository Agreement,
and (B) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor,
(ii) the Depositor, at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects

presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.
SECTION 14.02. Appointment of Successor. (a) Upon the Servicer's
receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 14.01 or the Servicer's
resignation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor
Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this
Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such
termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination,
until receipt of such notice and, in the case of
49
resignation, until the later of (x) the date 45 days from the delivery to the
Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such
notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (y) the date upon
which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as
specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In
the event of the Servicer's resignation or termination hereunder, the Trustee
shall appoint a successor Servicer, which successor Servicer shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Insurer (so long as the Insurer is not in default of its
obligations under the Policy), and the successor Servicer shall accept its
appointment by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Trustee. In the
event that a successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the
predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with this
Section 14.02, the Trustee without further action shall automatically be
appointed the successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee shall,
if it shall be legally unable or unwilling so to act, appoint, or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established financial
institution, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular
business shall include the servicing of automotive receivables, as the successor
to the Servicer under this Agreement and which financial institution is, in the
case of appointment by the Trustee, reasonably acceptable to the Insurer.
(b) Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in
all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties, and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto
placed on the predecessor Servicer, and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee
and all of the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer, by the terms and
provisions of this Agreement. The predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed for Outstanding Advances.
(c) In connection with such appointment, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the successor Servicer out of payments on Receivables it and
such successor Servicer shall agree; provided, however, that no such
compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the original Servicer under
this Agreement. The Trustee and such successor Servicer shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession.
SECTION 14.03. Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any notice of
an Event of Default or upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor
to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article XIV, the Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses
appearing in the Certificate Register.
SECTION 14.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 51% of the Certificate Balance and 51% of the Notional
Principal Amount of the Class I Certificates, may, on behalf of all Holders of
Certificates, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its
obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any
required deposits to or payments from the Certificate Account in accordance with
this Agreement; provided, that no waiver of any default or provision of this
Agreement shall become effective without the consent of the Insurer (unless the
Insurer is in default of its obligations under the Policy). Upon any such waiver
of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of
this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or impair any right consequent thereon.
50
ARTICLE XV
The Trustee
SECTION 15.01. Duties of Trustee. The Trustee, both prior to and after
the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall undertake to perform such duties as
are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and shall not have been cured and, in the case of an Event of Default
described in clause (i) of Section 14.01, the Trustee has received notice of
such Event of Default, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Agreement, and shall use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; provided, however, that if the
Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 14.02, the
Trustee in performing such duties shall use the degree of skill and attention
customarily exercised by a servicer with respect to automobile receivables that
it services for itself or others.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee that shall be specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement.
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 bad faith; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and
after the curing of all such Events of Default that may have occurred,
the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by
the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be
liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as
shall be specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants
or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee
and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, or
manifest error, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, including its
actions pursuant to Section 9.04(e), unless it shall be proved that the
Trustee shall have been negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken in good faith in
accordance with this Agreement or at the direction of the Holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Certificate Balance
and not less than 25% of the Notional Principal Amount of the Class I
Certificates relating to the time, method, and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of
any failure by the Servicer to comply with the obligations of the
Servicer referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 14.01, or of any
failure by the Depositor to comply with the obligations of the
51
Depositor referred to in clause (ii) of Section 14.01, unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice of such
failure (it being understood that knowledge of the Servicer or the
Servicer as custodian, in its capacity as agent for the Trustee, is not
attributable to the Trustee) from the Servicer or the Depositor, as the
case may be, or the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
25% of the Certificate Balance and not less than 25% of the Notional
Principal Amount of the Class I Certificates; and
(v) Without limiting the generality of this Section or
Section 15.04, the Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any
recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement
referred to therein or any financing statement evidencing a security
interest in the Receivables or the Financed Vehicles, or to see to the
maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any
rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any
insurance of the Financed Vehicles or Obligors or to effect or maintain
any such insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax,
assessment, or other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of
any kind owing with respect to, assessed, or levied against, any part
of the Trust, (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or
certificates of the Servicer delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper party or parties, or (E) to inspect the
Financed Vehicles at any time or ascertain or inquire as to the
performance or observance of any of the Depositor's or the Servicer's
representations, warranties or covenants or the Servicer's duties and
obligations as Servicer and as custodian of the Receivable Files under
this Agreement.
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 shall be
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability shall not be 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 of the 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. Except for actions expressly authorized by this
Agreement, the Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the
security interests created or existing under any Receivable or to impair the
value of any Receivable.
SECTION 15.02. Trustee's Certificate. On or as soon as practicable
after each Distribution Date on which Receivables shall be (i) assigned to UAC
pursuant to Section 7.02 or deemed to be assigned to the Depositor as a result
of the application of Available Funds in respect of Defaulted Receivables
pursuant to Sections 9.04 and 9.05 or (ii) assigned to the Servicer pursuant to
Section 8.07 or to the Class IC Certificateholder pursuant to Section 16.02, the
Trustee shall, at the written request of the Servicer, execute a Trustee's
Certificate, substantially in the form of, in the case of an assignment to UAC,
Exhibit 1, or, in the case of an assignment to the Servicer, Exhibit 2, based on
the information contained in the Servicer's Certificate for the related
Collection Period, amounts deposited to the Certificate Account, and notices
received pursuant to this Agreement, identifying the Receivables repurchased or
deemed to be repurchased by UAC pursuant to Section 7.02 or 9.02 or purchased by
the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.07 or 16.02 during such Collection Period,
and shall deliver such Trustee's Certificate, accompanied by a copy of the
Servicer's Certificate for such
52
Collection Period to UAC or the Servicer, as the case may be. The Trustee's
Certificate shall be an assignment pursuant to Section 15.03.
SECTION 15.03. Trustee's Assignment of Purchased Receivables. With
respect to each Receivable repurchased by UAC pursuant to Section 7.02, or
deemed to be so repurchased pursuant to Section 9.02 or purchased by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 8.07 or 16.02, the Trustee shall assign, as of the
last day of the Collection Period during which such Receivable became a
Defaulted Receivable or became subject to repurchase by UAC or purchase by the
Servicer, without recourse, representation, or warranty, to UAC or the Servicer
(as the case may be) all the Trustee's right, title, and interest in and to such
Receivables, and all security and documents relating thereto, such assignment
being an assignment outright and not for security. If in any enforcement suit or
legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable
on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled
to enforce the Receivable, the Trustee shall, at the Servicer's expense, take
such steps as the Trustee deems necessary to enforce the Receivable, including
bringing suit in its name or the name of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 15.04. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 15.01:
(i) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers'
Certificate, Servicer's 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 by
the proper party or parties.
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any
written advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
or omitted by it under this Agreement in good faith and in accordance
with such written advice or Opinion of Counsel.
(iii) 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 under this Agreement or
in relation to this Agreement, 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 reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee against the costs, expenses, and liabilities that may be
incurred therein or thereby. Nothing contained in this Agreement,
however, shall relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (that shall not have been cured), to
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement,
and to 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.
(iv) The Trustee shall not be 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.
(v) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and
after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any
53
investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond, or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing not
less than 25% of the Certificate Balance or not less than 25% of the
Notional Principal Amount of the Class I Certificates; provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of
the costs, expenses, or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the
making of such investigation shall be, in the opinion of the Trustee,
not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by
the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable
indemnity against such cost, expense, or liability as a condition to so
proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be
paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by
the Servicer upon demand. Nothing in this clause (v) shall affect the
obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Obligors.
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties under this Agreement either directly or
by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian. The Trustee shall not
be responsible for any misconduct or negligence solely attributable to
the acts or omissions of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer or
custodian.
(vii) Subsequent to the sale of the Receivables by the
Depositor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall have no duty of independent
inquiry, except as may be required by Section 15.01, and the Trustee
may rely upon the representations and warranties and covenants of the
Depositor and the Servicer contained in this Agreement with respect to
the Receivables and the Receivable Files.
SECTION 15.05. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Receivables. The
recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the certificate of
authentication on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the
Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Trustee shall make 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 at no time have any
responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity, and
enforceability of any security interest in any Financed Vehicle or any
Receivable, or the perfection and priority of such a security interest or the
maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the
efficacy of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed
to Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the
existence, condition, location, and ownership of any Financed Vehicle; the
existence and enforceability of any physical damage insurance, lender's single
interest insurance, or credit life or disability and hospitalization insurance
with respect to any Receivable; the existence and contents of any Receivable or
any computer or other record thereof; the validity of the assignment of any
Receivable to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of
any Receivable; the performance or enforcement of any Receivable; the compliance
by the Depositor or the Servicer with any warranty or representation made under
this Agreement or in any related document and the accuracy of any such warranty
or representation prior to the Trustee's receipt of notice or other discovery of
any noncompliance therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by
the Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom (it being understood that the
Trustee shall remain responsible for any Trust property that it may hold); the
acts or omissions of the Depositor, the Servicer, or any Obligor; an action of
the Servicer taken in the name of the Trustee; or any action by the Trustee
taken at the instruction of the
54
Servicer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of
its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement. Except with respect
to a claim based on the failure of the Trustee to perform its duties under this
Agreement or based on the Trustee's negligence or willful misconduct, no
recourse shall be had for any claim based on any provision of this Agreement,
the Certificates, or any Receivable or assignment thereof against the Trustee in
its individual capacity, the Trustee shall not have any personal obligation,
liability, or duty whatsoever to any Certificateholder or any other Person with
respect to any such claim, and any such claim shall be asserted solely against
the Trust or any indemnitor who shall furnish indemnity as provided in this
Agreement. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by
the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such
Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor
or the Servicer in respect of the Receivables.
SECTION 15.06. Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
with the same rights as it would have if it were not Trustee.
SECTION 15.07. Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Servicer shall pay to
the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, 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 trusts created by this Agreement and in the exercise and
performance of any of the Trustee's powers and duties under this Agreement, and
the Servicer shall pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements, and advances (including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all
persons not regularly in its employ) incurred or made by the Trustee in
accordance with any provisions of this Agreement, except any such expense,
disbursement, or advance as may be attributable to its willful misfeasance,
negligence, or bad faith, and the Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee (which,
for purposes of this section, shall include its directors, officers, employees,
and agents) for and hold it harmless against any loss, liability, or expense
incurred without willful misfeasance, negligence, or bad faith on its part,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the
Trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or
duties under this Agreement. Additionally, the Depositor, pursuant to Section
12.02, and the Servicer, pursuant to Section 13.02, respectively, shall
indemnify the Trustee with respect to certain matters. This indemnity shall
survive the termination of this Agreement or the Trust and the resignation or
removal of the Trustee.
SECTION 15.08. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee under
this Agreement shall at all times be a corporation (i) having an office in the
same State as the location of the Corporate Trust Office as specified in this
Agreement; (ii) organized and doing business under the laws of such State or the
United States of America; (iii) authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers; (iv) having a net worth of at least $50,000,000; (v) subject to
supervision or examination by federal or State authorities; and (vi) the
long-term unsecured debt of which is rated at least Baa3 or which is approved by
the Insurer and each Rating Agency. If such corporation shall publish reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this
Section 15.08, 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 15.08, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section
15.09.
55
SECTION 15.09. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at
any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving
written notice thereof to the Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Servicer, with the prior written consent of the Insurer, 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.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 15.08 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 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. If it shall remove the Trustee under the authority of the
immediately preceding sentence, the Servicer shall 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.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 15.09 shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee
pursuant to Section 15.10.
SECTION 15.10. Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed
pursuant to Section 15.09 shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the
Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment
under this Agreement, 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 under this Agreement,
with like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The predecessor Trustee
shall deliver to the successor Trustee all documents and statements held by it
under this Agreement; and the Servicer 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, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 15.10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall
be eligible pursuant to Section 15.08.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee pursuant to this
Section 15.10, the Servicer shall mail notice of the successor of such Trustee
under this Agreement to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown
in the Certificate Register. If the Servicer shall fail to mail such notice
within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the
successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Servicer.
SECTION 15.11. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation into
which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be eligible pursuant to
56
Section 15.08, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
SECTION 15.12. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located, the Servicer
and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee
to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate
trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person, 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 15.12,
such powers, duties, obligations, rights, and trusts as the Servicer and the
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have
joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request
so to do, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet
the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee pursuant to Section 15.08 and no
notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 15.10.
Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) All rights, powers, duties, and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred 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 under this Agreement or as successor to the
Servicer under this Agreement), 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 under this Agreement shall be personally
liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this
Agreement; and
(iii) The Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly may at
any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or
co-trustee.
Any notice, request, or other writing given to the 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 XV. 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. Each
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Servicer.
57
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint 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 15.13. Representations and Warranties of Trustee. The Trustee
shall make the following representations and warranties on which the Depositor
and Certificateholders may rely:
(i) Organization and Existence. The Trustee is an
Illinois banking corporation duly organized and validly existing under
the laws of the State of Illinois and authorized to engage in a banking
and trust business under such laws.
(ii) Power and Authority. The Trustee has full power,
authority, and legal right to execute, deliver, and perform this
Agreement, and shall have taken all necessary action to authorize the
execution, delivery, and performance by it of this Agreement.
(iii) Duly Executed. This Agreement shall have been duly
executed and delivered by the Trustee and shall constitute the legal,
valid, and binding agreement of the Trustee, enforceable in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i)
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, moratorium,
conservatorship, receivership or other similar laws now or hereinafter
in effect relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights in general,
as such laws would apply in the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency,
liquidation, reorganization, moratorium, conservatorship, receivership
or similar occurrence affecting the Trustee, and (ii) general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) as well as concepts of
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.
ARTICLE XVI
Termination
SECTION 16.01. Termination of the Trust. The respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee created hereby
and the Trust created by this Agreement shall terminate upon (i) the disposition
of the Trust corpus as of the last day of any Collection Period at the direction
of the Class IC Certificateholder, at its option, pursuant to Section 16.02, or
(ii) the payment to Certificateholders and the Insurer of all amounts required
to be paid to them pursuant to this Agreement and the Insurance Agreement (as
set forth in writing by the Insurer) and the disposition of all property held as
part of the Trust; provided, however, that the Trust shall terminate one year
and one day following the date of the occurrence of (i) above, if on the date of
such occurrence, UAC's Consolidated Tangible Net Worth is less than $45,000,000,
plus 50% of UAC's cumulative Consolidated Net Income (with no reduction for
losses) from and after August 31, 1995; provided, further, that in no event
shall the trust created by this Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21
years from the date as of which this Agreement is executed. The Servicer shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any prospective termination pursuant to this
Section 16.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust shall continue and the
Trustee shall pursue recovery of any
58
Preference Amounts under the Policy and the distribution of the same to
Certificateholders until the Policy terminates by its own terms.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which
the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by
the Trustee to Certificateholders immediately following the Trustee's receipt of
notice thereof from the Class IC Certificateholder but not later than the
Distribution Date that such payment shall be made stating (A) the final payment
of the Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated, (B) the amount of
any such final payment, and (C) if applicable, that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only
upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee
therein specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate
Registrar (if other than the Trustee) at the time such notice is given to
Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the
Trustee shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders amounts
distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 9.04 and, in the
event of a termination pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding
paragraph, the provisions of Section 9 of Annex A hereto shall govern the
remaining distributions to Certificateholders.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified
in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may
appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that shall remain
subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of
such remedies shall, upon notice to the Trustee, be distributed by the Trustee
to the United Way of Central Indiana or its successor, and upon such
distribution the Certificateholders' rights to any amounts so distributed will
be extinguished.
SECTION 16.02. Optional Disposition of All Receivables. On the last day
of any Collection Period following which (i) the Notional Principal Amount will
have been reduced to zero on or before the related Distribution Date, and (ii)
the Pool Balance is equal to or less than 10% of the Initial Certificate
Balance, the holder of the Class IC Certificate shall have the option to cause
the Trustee to sell (to the Class IC Certificateholder or any other person) the
corpus of the Trust at a price (the "Optional Disposition Price") equal to the
fair market value of the Receivables, but not less than the sum of (x) 100% of
the Certificate Balance, (y) accrued and unpaid interest on such amount computed
at a rate equal to the weighted average Note Rate, and (z) all amounts due and
owing to the Insurer under the Agreement and the Insurance Agreement minus any
amounts representing payments received on the Receivables not yet applied to the
interest related thereto or to reduce the principal balance thereof. The
proceeds of such sale will be deposited into the Certificate Account for
distribution to the Certificateholders (and, to the extent applicable, the
Insurer) on the next succeeding Distribution Date. In connection with such
disposition, the Class IC Certificateholder is required to pay any unpaid fees
and expenses of the Trustee that it would otherwise have been entitled to
pursuant to this Agreement. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Class
IC Certificateholder on or before the Determination Date if the Pool Balance as
of the end of the related Collection Period will be less than or equal to 10% of
the Initial Certificate Balance. The Class IC
59
Certificateholder shall notify the Trustee on or before the Determination Date
if the Class IC Certificateholder intends to exercise its option to purchase the
corpus of the Trust pursuant to this Section 16.02. Such price shall be
deposited to the Certificate Account in immediately available funds by 12:00
noon, New York City time, on the Distribution Date and, upon notice to the
Trustee of such deposit, the Trustee shall transfer the Receivables and the
Receivable Files to the purchaser, whereupon the Certificates shall no longer
evidence any right or interest in the Receivables or any proceeds thereof.
ARTICLE XVII
Miscellaneous Provisions
SECTION 17.01. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions in this Agreement, or to add any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under this Agreement that shall not be inconsistent
with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such action shall
not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Class IC Certificateholder
and Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Certificate
Balance and 51% of the Notional Principal Amount of the Class I Certificates,
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement, or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no
such amendment shall, without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates
then outstanding, reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any
such amendment. In no case may any such amendment increase or reduce in any
manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of
payments on Receivables or distributions that shall be required to be made on
any Certificate.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Opinion
of Counsel or consent of Certificateholders shall be required in connection with
any amendment of this Agreement to provide for a Spread Account Facility;
provided that prior to the effectiveness of any such amendment Standard & Poor's
and Moody's shall confirm in writing that the rating of the Certificates will
not be lowered or withdrawn as a result of such amendment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (i) no
amendment of this Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent
of the Insurer and (ii) except as provided in the third paragraph of this
Section 17.01, no amendment to this Agreement shall be recognized or be
effective without the written consent of the Trustee and receipt by the Trustee
of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will not cause the

publicly-traded partnership.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment or consent, the Trustee
shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent
to each Certificateholder.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
pursuant to this Section 17.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such
60
consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such
consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by
Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the
Trustee may prescribe.
Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that
the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and
the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 17.02(i)(1). The Trustee may, but
shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the
Trustee's own rights, duties, or immunities under this Agreement.
SECTION 17.02. Protection of Title to Trust.
(a) The Depositor shall execute and file such financing statements and

days' prior written notice thereof.
(c) The Depositor and the Servicer shall give the Trustee at least 60
days' prior written notice of any relocation of its principal executive office

continuation statement or of any new financing statement (in which case the
Servicer shall file or cause to be filed such amendment or continuation
statement or new financing statement). The Trustee shall be permitted to waive
the 60 day notice period to any shorter period; provided that such UCC financing
statements or amendments have been filed on or before the effective date of any
such waiver. The Servicer shall at all times maintain each office from which it
shall service Receivables, and its principal executive office, within the United

receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender, or other transferee, the
Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender, or other transferee
computer tapes, records, or print-outs (including any restored from back-up
archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable,
shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the
Trustee.

during normal business hours to inspect, audit, and make copies of and abstracts
from the Servicer's records regarding any Receivable.
(h) Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee, within
five Business Days, a list of all Receivables (by contract number and name of

ANNEX A
TAX PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
1. Characterization for Tax Purposes. For United States federal and
state income tax purposes, the Depositor's contribution of the Receivables to
the Trust in exchange for interests in the Trust, and the sale by the Depositor
of Class A Certificates (which includes Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2
Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates and Class A-5
Certificates) and Class I Certificates and the retention by the Depositor of the
Class IC Certificate is intended to constitute the formation of a partnership
(the "Tax Partnership") whose partners are the Class A Certificateholders, the
Class I Certificateholders and the Class IC Certificateholder (which are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Tax Partners"). This Tax
Partnership shall continue in effect as provided in Paragraph 3 below. Pursuant
to the final regulations adopting the "check-the-box" classification system for
unincorporated organizations, the Servicer on behalf of the Tax Partners shall
elect, in such manner as provided in such regulations, to treat the Trust as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes, and each Tax Partner irrevocably
agrees to be bound by such election. The Tax Partnership shall not be a
partnership to any other extent or for any other purpose.
2. Election with Respect to Subchapter K. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, each Tax Partner agrees: (a) not to elect to be excluded from the
application of Subchapter K of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code, or any
comparable provisions of applicable state laws; and (b) to join in the execution
of such additional documents and elections as may be required in order to
effectuate the foregoing.
3. Term. The provisions of this Tax Partnership Agreement shall be
effective as of the effective date of the sale by the Depositor of the Class A
Certificates and Class I Certificates and the issuance to the Depositor of the
Class IC Certificate (the "Effective Date") and shall continue in full force and
effect from and after such date until the earliest of: (a) the termination of
the Agreement pursuant to its terms; or (b) the mutual agreement of all of the
Tax Partners to terminate the Trust.
4. Capital Contributions and Capital Accounts.
(a) The value of the interests contributed by the Class A
Certificateholders and the Class I Certificateholders shall equal the amount
paid by such Certificateholders for such interests, respectively, and such
amounts shall constitute the opening balance in their Capital Accounts (as
hereinafter defined). The value of the interests contributed by the Class IC
Certificateholder shall equal the fair market value of the Receivables
contributed to the Tax Partnership less the value attributed to the Class A
Certificateholders and the Class I Certificateholders, as described above. Such
amount shall constitute the opening balance in the Class IC Certificateholder's
Capital Account.
(b) An individual capital account (a "Capital Account") shall be
maintained for each Tax Partner in compliance with Treasury Regulation Sections
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and 1.704-2 and accordingly, except as otherwise provided
herein:
(i) The Capital Account of each Tax Partner shall be
credited by (A) the amount of cash and the fair market value
of property other than cash contributed (or deemed contributed
pursuant to Code Section 708) by such Tax Partner to the Tax
Partnership (net of any liabilities assumed by the Tax
Partnership upon such contribution or to which such property
is subject at the time of such contribution); and (B) the
amount of any item of taxable income or gain and the amount of
any item of income or gain exempt from tax allocated to such
Tax Partner.
(ii) The Capital Account of each Tax Partner shall be
debited by (A) the amount of any item of tax deduction or loss
allocated to such Tax Partner; (B) such Tax Partner's
allocable share, of expenditures not deductible in computing
taxable income and not properly chargeable as capital
expenditures; and (C) the amount of cash and the fair market
value of any property other than cash (net
107
of any liabilities assumed by such Tax Partner or to which
such property is subject at the time of distribution)
distributed to such Tax Partner.
(iii) Immediately prior to any distribution of
property in kind, the Tax Partners' Capital Accounts shall be
adjusted by assuming that the distributed properties were sold
for cash at their respective fair market values as of the date
of distribution and crediting or debiting each Tax Partner's
Capital Account with its respective share of the hypothetical
gains or losses resulting from such assumed sales in the same
manner as gains or losses on actual sales of such properties
would be allocated under Paragraph 6 below.
(iv) Any adjustments of basis of property provided
for under Code Section 734 and 733 and comparable provisions
of state law (resulting from an election under Code Section
754 or comparable provisions of state law) shall not affect
the Capital Accounts of the Tax Partners, except as provided
in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(5).
5. Federal and State Income Tax Returns and Elections.
(a) The Tax Partners agree that the holder of the Class IC
Certificate shall serve as the "tax matters partner" (as such term is
defined in Code Section 6231(a)(7) (the "Tax Matters Partner") of the
Tax Partnership. The Tax Matters Partner shall (i) apply to the
Internal Revenue Service for a taxpayer identification number for the
Tax Partnership, (ii) elect to adopt the accrual method of accounting
and, if permitted by applicable federal tax law, the calendar year as
the Tax Partnership's fiscal year, (iv) make such other elections as it
deems proper, (v) prepare, execute and file the necessary federal and
state partnership income tax returns for the Tax Partnership and (vi)
keep the other Tax Partners informed of all material matters that may
come to its attention in its capacity as Tax Matters Partner. Each Tax
Partner agrees to furnish the Tax Matters Partner with all pertinent
information relating to activities under the Agreement and this Annex A
which is necessary for the Tax Matters Partner to prepare and file
federal and state partnership returns. In acting as Tax Matters
Partner, the Tax Matters Partner shall use its best efforts, but shall
incur no liability to the other Tax Partners.
(b) Within 60 days after the end of each of the Tax
Partnership's taxable years, the Tax Matters Partner shall send to each
Tax Partner who has been a Tax Partner at any time during the taxable
year then ended such tax information as shall be necessary for the
preparation by such Tax Partner of its Federal income tax return and
state income and other tax returns, if any, in states where the Tax
Partnership is organized or is qualified to do business.
6. Allocations.
(a)(i) "Net Income" and "Net Loss" respectively, for any
period, means the income or losses of the Tax Partnership as determined
in accordance with the method of accounting followed by the Tax
Partnership for Federal income tax purposes, including, for all
purposes, any income exempt from tax and any expenditures of the Tax
Partnership described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B); provided, however,
(i) that any item allocated under Paragraphs 6(b)(iii) or 6(c) shall be
excluded from the computation of Net Income and Net Loss and (ii) that
if, as a result of the contribution of an asset whose fair market value
differs from its adjusted basis for Federal income tax purposes or as a
result of the revaluation of the Tax Partnership's assets, the book
value of any Tax Partnership asset differs from its adjusted basis for
Federal income tax purposes, gain, loss, depreciation and amortization
with respect to such asset shall be computed using the asset's book
value consistently with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).
(ii) "Period" shall mean the calendar month; provided
that as to the month in which the Closing Date occurs, Period
shall mean the period commencing on the Closing Date and
ending on the last day of that calendar month, and as to the
month in which the Tax Partnership terminates, Period shall
mean the period beginning on the first day of such month and
ending on the date of the Tax Partnership's termination.
108
(b) The Tax Partners agree that the Tax Partnership's Net
Income and Net Loss and each item of income, gain, loss, or deduction
entering into the computation thereof for any Fiscal Year shall be
allocated by first allocating the Tax Partnership's Net Income and Net
Loss (and each item of income, gain, loss, or deduction entering into
the computation thereof) for each Period within such Fiscal Year (as if
such Period were a complete fiscal year) and then aggregating the
allocations for each Period within the Fiscal Year. In the case of the
transfer of any interest in the Tax Partnership, the items of Net
Income and Net Loss allocated for any Period with respect to the
transferred interest shall be allocated to the holder of that interest
on the first business day of the month following the end of such Period
(or in the case of the Period in which the Tax Partnership terminates,
the last day of such Period). If the Tax Matters Partner determines
that this method of allocation of items of Net Income and Net Loss is
not consistent with the requirements of the Code and applicable
Treasury Regulations, it may revise such method of allocation to
conform with such requirements. The Tax Partnership's Net Income and
Net Loss for each Period within a Fiscal Year shall be allocated as
follows:
(i) Net Income for such Period shall be allocated as
follows:
(A)(I) An amount of Net Income equal to the
excess of (x) the sum for such Period and each
preceding Period up to the Period beginning with the
Closing Date, of (1) the product of the Class A-1
Pass-Through Rate and (2) the Class A-1 Certificate
Balance amount for such Period (and each such
preceding Period) over (y) all amounts previously
allocated to the Class A-1 Certificateholders
pursuant to this Paragraph 6(b)(i)(A)(I) shall be
allocated 100% to the Class A-1 Certificateholders,
in proportion to their holdings of Class A-1
Certificates; provided that the product of (1) and
(2) in clause (x) shall be computed on the basis of a
360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed
from the day before the previous Distribution Date
through the day before the related Distribution Date,
and that any such product shall be appropriately
prorated for any Period that is not a full calendar
month in a manner consistent with the computation of
cash distributions with respect to such Periods as
provided by the Agreement.
(II) An amount of Net Income equal to the
excess of (x) the sum for such Period and
each preceding Period up to the Period
beginning with the Closing Date, of that
portion of any excess of the principal
amount of the Class A-1 Certificates over
their initial issue price (disregarding
accrued interest) that would have accrued
with respect to such Periods if the Class
A-1 Certificates were indebtedness and such
excess were original issue discount over (y)
all amounts previously allocated to the
Class A-1 Certificateholders pursuant to
this Paragraph 6(b)(i)(A)(II) shall be
allocated 100% to the Class A-1
Certificateholders, in proportion to their
holdings of Class A-1 Certificates.
(B)(I) An amount of Net Income equal to the
excess of (x) the sum for such Period and each
preceding Period up to the Period beginning with the
Closing Date, of (1) the product of the Class A-2
Pass-Through Rate and (2) the Class A-2 Certificate
Balance amount for such Period (and each such
preceding Period) over (y) all amounts previously
allocated to the Class A-2 Certificateholders
pursuant to this Paragraph 6(b)(i)(B)(I) shall be
allocated 100% to the Class A-2 Certificateholders,
in proportion to their holdings of Class A-2
Certificates; provided that the product of (1) and
(2) in clause (x) shall be computed on the basis of a
360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months, and
that any such product shall be appropriately prorated
for any Period that is not a full calendar month in a
manner consistent with the computation of cash
distributions with respect to such Periods as
provided by the Agreement.
(II) An amount of Net Income equal to the
excess of (x) the sum for such Period and
each preceding Period up to the Period
beginning with the Closing Date, of that
portion of any excess of the principal
amount of the Class A-2 Certificates over
their initial issue price (disregarding
accrued interest) that would have accrued
with respect to such Periods if the Class
A-2 Certificates were indebtedness and such
excess were original issue discount over (y)
all amounts previously allocated to the
Class A-2 Certificateholders pursuant to
this Paragraph 6(b)(i)(B)(II) shall be
allocated 100%
109
to the Class A-2 Certificateholders, in
proportion to their holdings of Class A-2
Certificates.
(C)(I) An amount of Net Income equal to the
excess of (x) the sum for such Period and each
preceding Period up to the Period beginning with the
Closing Date, of (1) the product of the Class A-3
Pass-Through Rate and (2) the Class A-3 Certificate
Balance amount for such Period (and each such
preceding Period) over (y) all amounts previously
allocated to the Class A-3 Certificateholders
pursuant to this Paragraph 6(b)(i)(C)(I) shall be
allocated 100% to the Class A-3 Certificateholders,
in proportion to their holdings of Class A-3
Certificates; provided that the product of (1) and
(2) in clause (x) shall be computed on the basis of a
360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months, and
that any such product shall be appropriately prorated
for any Period that is not a full calendar month in a
manner consistent with the computation of cash
distributions with respect to such Periods as
provided by the Agreement.
(II) An amount of Net Income equal to the
excess of (x) the sum for such Period and
each preceding Period up to the Period
beginning with the Closing Date, of that
portion of any excess of the principal
amount of the Class A-3 Certificates over
their initial issue price (disregarding
accrued interest) that would have accrued
with respect to such Periods if the Class
A-3 Certificates were indebtedness and such
excess were original issue discount over (y)
all amounts previously allocated to the
Class A-3 Certificateholders pursuant to
this Paragraph 6(b)(i)(C)(II) shall be
allocated 100% to the Class A-3
Certificateholders, in proportion to their
holdings of Class A-3 Certificates.
(D)(I) An amount of Net Income equal to the
excess of (x) the sum for such Period and each
preceding Period up to the Period beginning with the
Closing Date, of (1) the product of the Class A-4
Pass-Through Rate and (2) the Class A-4 Certificate
Balance amount for such Period (and each such
preceding Period) over (y) all amounts previously
allocated to the Class A-4 Certificateholders

allocated 100% to the Class A-4 Certificateholders,
in proportion to their holdings of Class A-4
Certificates; provided that the product of (1) and
(2) in clause (x) shall be computed on the basis of a
360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months, and
that any such product shall be appropriately prorated
for any Period that is not a full calendar month in a
manner consistent with the computation of cash
distributions with respect to such Periods as
provided by the Agreement.
(II) An amount of Net Income equal to the
excess of (x) the sum for such Period and
each preceding Period up to the Period
beginning with the Closing Date, of that
portion of any excess of the principal
amount of the Class A-4 Certificates over
their initial issue price (disregarding
accrued interest) that would have accrued
with respect to such Periods if the Class
A-4 Certificates were indebtedness and such
excess were original issue discount over (y)
all amounts previously allocated to the
Class A-4 Certificateholders pursuant to
this Paragraph 6(b)(i)(D)(II) shall be
allocated 100% to the Class A-4
Certificateholders, in proportion to their
holdings of Class A-4 Certificates.
(E)(I) An amount of Net Income equal to the
excess of (x) the sum for such Period and each
preceding Period up to the Period beginning with the
Closing Date, of (1) the product of the Class A-5
Pass-Through Rate and (2) the Class A-5 Certificate
Balance amount for such Period (and each such
preceding Period) over (y) all amounts previously

in proportion to their holdings of Class A-5
Certificates; provided that the product of (1) and
(2) in clause (x) shall be computed on the basis of a
360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months, and
that any such product shall be appropriately prorated
for any Period that is not a full calendar month in a
manner consistent with the computation of cash
distributions with respect to such Periods as
provided by the Agreement.
110
(II) An amount of Net Income equal to the
excess of (x) the sum for such Period and
each preceding Period up to the Period
beginning with the Closing Date, of that
portion of any excess of the principal
amount of the Class A-5 Certificates over
their initial issue price (disregarding
accrued interest) that would have accrued
with respect to such Periods if the Class
A-5 Certificates were indebtedness and such
excess were original issue discount over (y)
all amounts previously allocated to the
Class A-5 Certificateholders pursuant to
this Paragraph 6(b)(i)(E)(II) shall be
allocated 100% to the Class A-5
Certificateholders, in proportion to their
holdings of Class A-5 Certificates.
(F) An amount of Net Income equal to the
excess of (x) the sum for such Period and each
preceding Period up to the Period beginning with the
Closing Date, of the Periodic Allocation (as
hereinafter defined) over (y) all amounts previously
allocated to the Class I Certificateholders pursuant
to this Paragraph 6(b)(i)(F), shall be allocated 100%
to the Class I Certificateholders, in proportion to
their holdings of Class I Certificates. The "Periodic
Allocation" for any Period shall equal the excess of
(i) the product of (1) the Class I Pass- Through Rate
and (2) the Notional Principal Amount for such Period
over (ii) the portion of the amount distributable
with respect to the Class I Certificates with respect
to such Period that would constitute a return of
basis for an initial holder if the Class I
Certificates constituted an instrument described in
Code Section 860G(a)(1)(B)(ii), employing the
principles of Code Section 1272(a)(6) and the
constant yield method of accrual; provided that the
product of (1) and (2) in clause (i) shall be
computed on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of
twelve 30 days months, and that such product shall be
appropriately prorated for any Period that is not a
full calendar month in a manner consistent with the
computation of cash distributions with respect to
such Periods as provided by the Agreement.
(G) Notwithstanding the foregoing Paragraphs
(A) through (F), if the actual Net Income for such
Period is less than the Net Income allocable under
the sum of the amounts described in such Paragraphs
(A) through (F), the actual Net Income for such
Period shall be allocable to the Class A
Certificateholders and the Class I Certificateholders
in proportion to the allocations that would have been
made to such Certificateholders with respect to such
Period under such foregoing Paragraphs (A) through
(F) if sufficient Net Income for such period had
existed and the amount distributable hereunder to
Class A Certificateholders shall be distributed pro
rata. For the purposes of applying the foregoing
Paragraphs (A) through (F), in such periods, any
amounts allocated pursuant to this Paragraph (G)
shall be treated as allocated pursuant to Paragraphs
(A) through (F), as the case may be, to the extent
the allocation was related thereto.
(H) Any remaining Net Income shall be
allocated 100% to the Class IC Certificateholder.
(ii) Net Losses for such Periods shall be allocated
as follows:
(A) 100% to the Class IC Certificateholder
until the Adjusted Capital Account (as hereinafter
defined) balance of the Class IC Certificateholders
equals zero.
(B) 100% pro rata:
(I) to the Class I
Certificateholders, in proportion to their
holdings of Class I Certificates, until the
Adjusted Capital Account balances of the
Class I Certificateholders equal zero; and
111
(II) to the Class A
Certificateholders, in proportion to their
holdings of Class A Certificates, until the
Adjusted Capital Account balances of the
Class A Certificateholders equal zero.
(C) Any remaining Net Losses shall be
allocated 100% to the Class IC Certificateholder.
(iii) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, any payment of amounts due and owing the
Insurer from time to time or in connection with an optional
disposition of all Receivables pursuant to Section 16.02 of
the Agreement shall be treated as a loss of the Tax
Partnership and shall be allocated in the same manner as the
Net Loss would be allocated under paragraph 6(b)(ii).
(c) (i) In the taxable year in which the final redemption of
the Class I Certificates occurs, a portion of the premium and other
deductions derived by the Trust up to an amount equal to the aggregate
remaining Capital Account balances of the Class I Certificateholders
shall be allocated to the Class I Certificateholders in proportion to
their respective Capital Account balances.
(ii) Any deductions not allocated pursuant to
Paragraph 6(c)(i) and attributable to (w) the amortization of
premium on the Receivables, (x) payments to the Trustee and
(y) payments to the Servicer shall be specially allocated to
the Class IC Certificateholder.
(iii) If there is a net decrease in "partnership
minimum gain" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(d)) for a Fiscal Year, then there shall be
allocated to each Tax Partner items of income and gain for
that year equal to that Tax Partner's share of the net
decrease in partnership minimum gain (within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)(2)), subject to the
exceptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Sections
1.704-2(f)(2), (3) and (5), provided, that if the Tax
Partnership has any discretion as to an exception set forth
pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(5), the Tax
Matters Partner may exercise such discretion on behalf of the
Tax Partnership. In the event the application of the minimum
gain chargeback requirement would cause a distortion in the
economic arrangement among the Tax Partners, the Tax Matters
Partner shall request the Commissioner to waive the minimum
gain chargeback requirement pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(f)(4). The foregoing is intended to be a
"minimum gain chargeback" provision as described in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted and
applied in all respects in accordance with that Treasury
Regulation.
If during a Fiscal Year there is a net decrease in partner nonrecourse
debt minimum gain (as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(i)(3)), then, in addition to the amounts, if any,
allocated pursuant to the preceding paragraph, any Tax Partner with a
share of that partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (determined in
accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) as of the
beginning of the Fiscal Year shall, subject to the exceptions set forth
in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), including exceptions
analogous to those provided pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections
1.704-2(f)(2), (3) and (5) (provided, that if the Tax Partnership has
any discretion as to an exception set forth pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(5) as made applicable by Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), the Tax Matters Partner may exercise
such discretion on behalf of the Tax Partnership) be allocated items of
income and gain for the year (and, if necessary, for succeeding years)
equal to that Tax Partner's share of the net decrease in the partner
nonrecourse minimum gain. In the event the application of the minimum
gain chargeback requirement would cause a distortion in the economic
arrangement among the Tax Partners, the Tax Matters Partner shall
request the Commissioner to waive the minimum gain chargeback
requirement pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and
1.704-2(f)(4). The foregoing is intended to be the "chargeback of
partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain" required by Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted and applied in all
respects in accordance with that Treasury Regulation.
(iv) If during any Fiscal Year of the Tax Partnership
a Tax Partner unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation
or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Sections
1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), which causes or
increases a deficit balance in the Tax Partner's Adjusted
112
Capital Account (as defined below), there shall be allocated
to the Tax Partner items of income and gain (consisting of a
pro rata portion of each item of Tax Partnership income,
including gross income, and gain for such year) in an amount
and manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit as quickly as
possible. The foregoing is intended to be a "qualified income
offset" provision as described in Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted and applied in
all respects in accordance with the Treasury Regulation.
A Tax Partner's "Adjusted Capital Account", at any time, shall
equal the Tax Partner's Capital Account at such time (x) increased by
the sum of (A) the amount of the Tax Partner's share of partnership
minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)(1)
and (3)), (B) the amount of the Tax Partner's share of partner
nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(i)(5)), and (C) any amount of the deficit balance in
its Capital Account and Tax Partner is obligated to restore on
liquidation of the Tax Partnership and (y) decreased by reasonably
expected adjustments, allocations and distributions described in
Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).
(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Paragraph 6, Tax Partnership losses, deductions, or Code
Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures that are attributable to a
particular partner nonrecourse liability shall be allocated to
the Tax Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for the
liability in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(i).
(vi) Notwithstanding any provision of Paragraphs 6(b)
and 6(c)(ii), no allocation of items of loss or deduction
shall be made to a Tax Partner if it would cause the Tax
Partner to have a negative balance in its Adjusted Capital
Account. Allocations of items of loss or deduction that would
be made to a Tax Partner but for this Paragraph 6(c)(vi) shall
instead be made first to the Class IC Certificateholder to the
extent not inconsistent with this Paragraph 6(c)(vi), and
second, to the Class A and Class I Certificateholders in
proportion to the amounts distributable for the related Period
pursuant to Sections 9.04(a)(iii) of the Agreement. To the
extent allocations of items of loss or deduction cannot be
made to any Tax Partner because of this Paragraph 6(c)(vi),
such allocations shall be made to the Tax Partners in
accordance with Paragraphs 6(b) and 6(c)(ii) notwithstanding
this Paragraph 6(c)(vi).
(vii) To the extent that any item of income, gain,
loss or deduction has been specially allocated pursuant to
Paragraphs 6(c)(iv) and (vi) and such allocation is
inconsistent with the way in which the same amount otherwise
would have been allocated under Paragraphs 6(b) and 6(c)(ii),
subsequent allocations under Paragraph 6(b) and 6(c)(ii) shall
be made, to the extent possible and without duplication, in a
manner consistent with Paragraphs 6(c)(iii), (iv), (v) and
(vi) which negate as rapidly as possible the effect of all
such inconsistent allocations.
(viii) Any allocations made pursuant to this
Paragraph 6 shall be made in the following order:
(i) Paragraph 6(c)(iii)
(ii) Paragraph 6(c)(iv)
(iii) Paragraph 6(c)(v)
(iv) Paragraph 6(c)(vii)
(v) Paragraph 6(c)(i)
(vi) Paragraph 6(c)(ii)
(vii) Paragraph 6(b)(iii)
(viii) Paragraph 6(b)(i) and (ii)
These provisions shall be applied as if all distributions and
allocations were made at the end of the Fiscal Year. Where any
provision depends on the Capital Account of any Partner, that
Capital Account shall be determined after the operation of all
preceding provisions for the year. These allocations shall be
made consistently with the requirements of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2(j).
113
(d) The income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the
Tax Partnership for Federal, state and local income tax purposes shall
be allocated in the same manner as the corresponding items entering
into the computation of Net Income and Net Losses were allocated
pursuant to Paragraphs 6(b) and (c) provided that solely for Federal,
local and state income and franchise tax purposes and not for book or
Capital Account purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect
to property properly carried on the Tax Partnership's books at a value
other than its tax basis shall be allocated (i) in the case of property
contributed in kind, in accordance with the requirements of Code
Section 704(c) and such Treasury Regulations as may be promulgated
thereunder from time to time, and (ii) in the case of other property,
in accordance with the principles of Code Section 704(c) and the
Treasury Regulations thereunder as incorporated among the requirements
of the relevant provisions of the Treasury Regulations under Code
Section 704(b).
(e) The Tax Partnership shall comply with all withholding
requirements under Federal, state and local law and shall remit amounts
withheld to and file required forms with the applicable jurisdictions.
To the extent the Tax Partnership is required to withhold and pay over
any amounts with respect to distributions or allocations to any Tax
Partner, the amount withheld shall be treated as a distribution to that
Tax Partner. In the event of any claimed over withholding, Tax Partners
shall have no claim for recovery against the Tax Partnership or other
Tax Partners. If the amount withheld was not withheld from actual
distributions, the Tax Partnership, may at its option, (i) require the
Tax Partner to reimburse the Tax Partnership for such withholding (and
each Tax Partner agrees to reimburse the Tax Partnership promptly
following such request) or (ii) reduce any subsequent distributions by
the amount of such withholding. If there is a possibility that
withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a
distribution to a non-U.S. Tax Partner), the Tax Partnership may in its
sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this Paragraph
6(e). Each Tax Partner agrees to furnish the Tax Partnership with any
representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Tax
Partnership to assist it in determining the extent of, and in
fulfilling, its withholding obligations. If a Tax Partner wishes to
apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Trustee shall
reasonably cooperate with such Tax Partner in making such claim as long
as the Tax Partner agrees to reimburse the Tax Partnership for any
out-of-pocket expenses incurred.
7. Sale of Interests. The Tax Partners agree that any sale by a Tax
Partner of any ownership interest in a Certificate shall be deemed to be a sale
of all or a portion of such Tax Partner's interest in the Tax Partnership.
8. Termination of a Tax Partner's Interest. Any distribution by the Tax
Partnership in termination of any Tax Partner's interest in the Tax Partnership
other than pursuant to Paragraph 9 below shall be in an amount of cash or
property other than cash having a net fair market value equal to the positive
Capital Account balance of such Tax Partner at the time such interest is
terminated, after such Capital Account balance has been adjusted in accordance
with Paragraphs 4 and 6 above for all operations preceding such distribution and
the applicable Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(b), and shall be made
by the later of: (a) the end of the Tax Partnership's taxable year in which such
termination occurs; or (b) within 90 days after the date of such termination.
9. Distributions upon Termination. Upon termination of the Agreement
pursuant to its terms, the activities of the Tax Partners under this Annex A
shall be concluded and the assets subject to the Agreement and this Annex A
shall be distributed to the Tax Partners in the manner and in the order set
forth below:
(a) Debts of the Tax Partnership created pursuant to the
Agreement, other than to Tax Partners, including, except as provided in
Paragraph 9(e), all amounts due and owing to the Insurer, shall be
paid.
(b) Debts owed among the Tax Partners created pursuant to the
Agreement shall be paid.
(c) All cash on hand representing unexpended contributions by
any Tax Partner shall be returned to the contributor.
(d) The Tax Partners' Capital Accounts shall be adjusted by:
(i) assuming the sale of all remaining assets at their fair market
values as of the date of termination of the Agreement; and (ii)
debiting or crediting each Tax Partner's Capital Account with the Tax
Partner's respective share of the hypothetical gains or losses
resulting from such assumed sales in the same manner as such Tax
Partner's Capital Account would be debited or credited under Paragraph
6 above for gains or losses on actual sales of such properties.
114
(e) All Tax Partnership assets shall be distributed to the Tax
Partners in accordance with their respective Capital Account balances
as so adjusted by the later of: (i) the end of the Tax Partnership's
taxable year in which the termination occurs; or (ii) within 90 days
after the date of such termination, in the following order or priority:
(i) to the Class A Certificateholders and Class I
Certificateholders, pro rata; and
(ii) to the Class IC Certificateholder; provided, that in the
event of an optional termination of the Trust under Section 16.02 of
the Agreement, all amounts due and owing to the Insurer shall be paid
to the Insurer after the distribution to the Class A Certificateholders
and Class I Certificateholders pursuant to clause (i) of this Paragraph
9(e) and prior to the distribution to the Class IC Certificateholder
pursuant to clause (ii) of this Paragraph 9(e).
If property subject to the Agreement is distributed pursuant to this paragraph,
the amount of the distribution shall be equal to the net fair market value of
the distributed property.
