SECTION 1.         Introduction. Hyundai ABS Funding Corporation (the “Depositor”) proposes to cause Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2011-A (the “Trust”) to issue and sell $228,000,000 principal amount of its Class A-1 Notes (the “Class A-1 Notes”), $263,000,000 principal amount of its Class A-2 Notes (the “Class A-2 Notes”), $247,000,000 principal amount of its Class A-3 Notes (the “Class A-3 Notes”), $116,600,000 principal amount of its Class A-4 Notes (the “Class A-4 Notes” and together with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes, the “Class A Notes”), $34,030,000 principal amount of its Class B Notes (the “Class B Notes”) and $32,150,000 principal amount of its Class C Notes (the “Class C Notes” and, together with the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes, the “Notes”) to the several underwriters set forth on Schedule I (each, an “Underwriter”), for whom RBS Securities Inc. is acting as representative (the “Representative”).  The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, to be dated as of January 27, 2011 (the “Indenture”), between the Trust and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee (in such capacity, the “Indenture Trustee”).  The assets of the Trust will include, among other things, a pool of motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts acquired by Hyundai Capital America (“HCA”) and sold to the Trust on the Closing Date (the “Receivables”) secured by new and used automobiles, light-duty trucks and minivans and financed thereby (the “Vehicles”), certain monies received thereunder after the close of business on January 1, 2011 (the “Cutoff Date”) and the other property and the proceeds thereof to be conveyed to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement to be dated as of January 27, 2011 (the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”) among the Trust, HCA, as servicer, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee.  Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Depositor will sell the Receivables to the Trust and HCA will service the Receivables on behalf of the Trust.  In addition, pursuant to the Owner Trust Administration Agreement to be dated as of January 27, 2011 (the “Administration Agreement”) among the Trust, HCA and the Indenture Trustee, HCA will agree to perform certain administrative tasks on behalf of the Trust.  The Depositor formed the Trust pursuant to a trust agreement, and it will be governed by an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) to be dated as of January 27, 2011 among the Depositor, HCA and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”).  The owner trust certificate (the “Certificate”), representing a fractional undivided interest in the Trust, will be issued to the Depositor pursuant to the Trust Agreement.
 
The Depositor will acquire the Receivables from HCA pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) to be dated as of January 27, 2011 between the Depositor and HCA.  HCA has acquired the Receivables from franchised dealers (the “Dealers”) pursuant to certain dealer retail agreements between each Dealer and HCA (collectively, the “Dealer Retail Agreements”).

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Underwriting Agreement (this “Agreement”) shall have the meanings set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement or if not defined therein, then as defined in the Prospectus Supplement (as defined below).  As used herein, the term “Transaction Documents” refers to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture, the Trust Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Administration Agreement.
 
At or prior to the date when sales to purchasers of the Notes were first made to investors by the Underwriters, which was January 20, 2011 (the “Applicable Date”), the Seller had prepared the Prospectus Supplement dated January 18, 2011 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) to the Base Prospectus dated January 18, 2011 (along with information referred to under the caption “Static Pool Data” therein regardless of whether it is deemed a part thereof under the Rules and Regulations, together the “Preliminary Prospectus”) and the Free Writing Prospectus dated January 18, 2011 relating to the ratings on the Notes (the “Ratings Free Writing Prospectus” and together with the Preliminary Prospectus, the “Time of Sale Information”).  If, subsequent to the Applicable Date and prior to the Closing Date, such Time of Sale Information included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and the Underwriters terminate their old “Contracts of Sale” (within the meaning of Rule 159 under the Securities Act) and enter into new Contracts of Sale with investors in the Notes, then the “Time of Sale Information” will refer to the information conveyed to investors at the time of entry into such new Contract of Sale, in an amended Preliminary Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus approved by the Depositor and the Representative that corrects such material misstatements or omissions (a “Corrected Prospectus”) and “Applicable Date” will refer to the time and date on which such new Contracts of Sale were entered into.
 
SECTION 2.         Representations and Warranties.  (a)  As a condition of the several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Notes, each of the Depositor and HCA makes the representations and warranties set forth below to the Representative and each of the Underwriters.  To the extent a representation or warranty specifically relates to the Depositor, such representation or warranty is made by the Depositor and HCA jointly, and to the extent a representation or warranty specifically relates solely to HCA, such representation or warranty is only made by HCA and not by the Depositor.
 
(i)           The registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-168518), including the exhibits thereto, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for registration under the Securities Act, which registration statement has been declared effective by the Commission within the three years prior to the Closing Date and is still effective as of the date hereof.  Such registration statement, including the exhibits thereto, as amended to the date hereof, is hereinafter called the “Registration Statement”; the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, at the time the Registration Statement became effective, or as subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act is hereinafter called the “Base Prospectus”; a prospectus supplement relating to the Notes, in the form first filed after the date hereof pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, including the Base Prospectus as so supplemented and together, along with information referred to under the caption “Static Pool Data” therein regardless of whether it is deemed a part of the Registration Statement or Base Prospectus under the Rules and Regulations, is hereinafter called the “Prospectus Supplement”; and the Base Prospectus together with the Prospectus Supplement are hereinafter called the “Prospectus.”  Any preliminary form of the Prospectus that has heretofore been filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) is hereinafter called a “preliminary prospectus.”  Any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or the filing date of the Base Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act.

(b)           The above representations and warranties shall be deemed to be repeated in their entirety at and as of the Closing Date.
 
(c)           Each Underwriter hereby makes the representations and agrees to the statements contained in Annex A hereto.
 
SECTION 3.         Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Notes.  (a)  On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Depositor agrees to cause the Trust to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Trust the respective principal amount of the Notes set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule I, at a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to “Price $” as specified on Schedule II hereto.  Delivery of and payment for the Notes shall be made at the offices of Mayer Brown LLP, 71 South Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606 at 10:00 a.m.  (New York time) on January 27, 2011 (or at such other place and time on the same or other date as shall be agreed to in writing by the Representative and the Depositor, the “Closing Date”).  Delivery of one or more global notes representing the Notes shall be made against payment of the aggregate purchase price in immediately available funds drawn to the order of the Depositor.  The global notes to be so delivered shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).  The interests of beneficial owners of the Notes will be represented by book entries on the records of DTC and participating members thereof.  Definitive Notes representing the Notes will be available only under limited circumstances, as described in the Prospectus.
 
(b)           The Depositor hereby acknowledges that the payment of monies pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof (a “Payment”) by or on behalf of the Underwriters of the aggregate Purchase Price for the Notes does not constitute closing of a purchase and sale of the Notes.  Only (1) the execution and delivery, by facsimile or otherwise, of a receipt for Notes by the Representative, and (2) the release of all Permitted Liens, as listed on Schedule III hereto, prior to the cut-off time for DTC settlement on the Closing Date, indicates completion of the closing of a purchase of the Notes from the Trust.  Furthermore, in the event that the Underwriters make a Payment to the Trust prior to the completion of the closing of a purchase of Notes, the Depositor hereby acknowledges that until the Representative executes and delivers such receipt for the Notes and until all Permitted Liens have been released prior to the cut-off time for DTC settlement on the Closing Date, the Trust will not be entitled to the Payment and the Depositor shall cause the Trust to return the Payment to the Underwriters as soon as practicable (by wire transfer of same-day funds) upon demand.  In the event that the closing of a purchase of Notes is not completed and the Payment is not returned by the Trust to the Underwriters on the same day the Payment was received by the Trust, the Depositor agrees to pay, or otherwise cause the Trust to pay, to the Underwriters in respect of each day the Payment is not returned by it, in same-day funds, interest on the amount of such Payment in an amount representing the Underwriters’ cost of financing as reasonably determined by the Representative.
 
(c)           It is understood that the Representative or any Underwriter, individually, may (but shall not be obligated to) make Payment on behalf of any Underwriter or Underwriters for any of the Notes to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters.  No such Payment shall relieve such Underwriter or Underwriters from any of its or their obligations hereunder.

SECTION 5.         Covenants of the Depositor and HCA.  Each of the Depositor and HCA covenants and agrees with the Underwriters as set forth below.
 
(a)           To file the Prospectus, properly completed, with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act no later than the second business day following the day it is first used.  The Depositor will file with the Commission any Free Writing Prospectus delivered to investors in accordance with Section 6 as the Depositor is required to file under the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations, and will do so within the applicable period of time required under the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations (which for the avoidance of doubt shall be in the case of each of the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus and a Free Writing Prospectus that is Pre-pricing and Pricing Information no later than the second business day following the day it is first used).  The Depositor or HCA will advise the Representative promptly of any such filing under the Securities Act.
 
(b)           To furnish to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, as many copies of the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Underwriters reasonably request.  The Prospectus shall be furnished on or prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on or prior to the second business day preceding the Closing Date.  All other documents shall be so furnished as soon as available and in such quantities as the Representative may reasonably request.  The Depositor or HCA will pay the expenses of printing, reproducing and distributing to the Underwriters all such documents.
 
(c)           To advise the Representative promptly, in writing, of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and to not effect any such amendment or supplement to which the Representative shall reasonably object; and to also advise the Representative promptly of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement and of any amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and of the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the Registration Statement and to use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible its lifting, if issued.

(d)           To furnish the Underwriters with copies of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and each amendment or supplement and any Free Writing Prospectus, during the period when any Underwriter is required to deliver a Prospectus under the Securities Act, at the cost and expense of HCA, each in such quantities as the Representative may from time to time reasonably request (and subsequent to such period, to assist the Underwriters in obtaining sufficient additional copies of the Prospectus, at the cost and expense of the Underwriters requesting such additional copies); and if, at any time prior to the expiration of the Prospectus delivery period under the Securities Act, any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made when such Prospectus is delivered, not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary or desirable during such same period to amend or supplement the Prospectus, to notify the Representative and promptly prepare and file with the Commission (subject to the Representative’s prior review pursuant to Section 5(c)), at its own expense, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission, or an amendment which will effect such compliance.  Upon the Representative’s request, the Depositor will prepare and furnish without charge to each Underwriter and to any dealer in securities as many written and electronic copies as the Representative may from time to time reasonably request of an amended Prospectus or a supplement to the Prospectus which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.  Neither the Underwriters’ consent to, nor the Underwriters’ distribution of any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof.
 
(e)           The Depositor will arrange for the qualification of the Notes for offering and sale in each jurisdiction as the Representative shall designate including, but not limited to, pursuant to applicable state securities (“Blue Sky”) laws of certain states of the United States of America or other U. S. jurisdictions so designated, and the Depositor shall maintain such qualifications in effect for so long as may be necessary in order to complete the placement of the Notes; provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be obliged to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a securities dealer in any jurisdiction or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.  The Depositor will promptly advise the Representative of the receipt by the Depositor of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
 
(f)           The Depositor will cooperate with the Representative and use its best efforts to permit the Notes to be eligible for clearance and settlement through DTC.
 
(g)           HCA and the Depositor shall (i) furnish or make available to the Underwriters or their counsel such additional documents and information regarding HCA, the Depositor and their respective affairs as the Underwriters may from time to time reasonably request prior to the Closing Date, including any and all documentation reasonably requested in connection with its due diligence efforts regarding information in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and in order to evidence the accuracy or completeness of any of the conditions contained in this Agreement and (ii) provide the Underwriters or their advisors, or both, prior to acceptance of its subscription, the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers with respect to such matters.
 
(h)           From the date hereof until the Closing Date, neither the Depositor nor HCA will, without the prior written consent of the Representative, directly or indirectly, offer, sell or contract to sell or announce the offering of, in a public or private transaction, any other collateralized securities similar to the Notes.

(i)           Until the retirement of the Notes, neither the Depositor nor HCA shall, nor cause the Trust to, be or become an open-end investment company, unit investment trust, closed-end investment company or face-amount certificate company that is or is required to be registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act.
 
(j)           Until the retirement of the Notes, or until none of the Underwriters maintains a secondary market in the Notes, whichever occurs first, HCA shall cause the Depositor to and the Depositor shall deliver to each of the Underwriters, through the Representative, the annual statement of compliance and any annual independent certified public accountants’ report furnished to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement not otherwise publicly available, as soon as such statements and reports are furnished to the Indenture Trustee.
 
(k)           So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, HCA shall cause the Depositor to and the Depositor shall deliver to each of the Underwriters, through the Representative: (i) all documents distributed to Noteholders and (ii) from time to time, any other information concerning HCA, the Depositor or the Trust as the Underwriters may reasonably request only insofar as such information reasonably relates to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
 
(l)           On or before the Closing Date, HCA and the Depositor (to the extent applicable) shall each cause their computer records relating to the Receivables to be marked to show the Trust’s absolute ownership of the Receivables, and from and after the Closing Date neither the Depositor nor HCA shall take any action inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of such Receivables, other than as permitted by the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
 
(m)           To the extent, if any, that any of the ratings assigned to the Notes by any of the rating agencies that initially rate the Notes are conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other actions by the Depositor or HCA, as the case may be, the relevant party shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, such documents and take any such other actions as promptly as possible.

Such opinion may contain such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as are usual and customary in opinions of this type and are reasonably acceptable to counsel to the Underwriters.  In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that they express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal law of the United States of America, the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware, the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of California, and the laws of the State of New York.
 
(g)           The Representative shall have received an opinion of Mayer Brown LLP, counsel to the Depositor, HCA and the Trust, addressed to the Representative, dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters, to the effect that:
 
(i)           In a properly presented and argued case in a proceeding under Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U. S. C.  §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in which HCA is the debtor, the bankruptcy court would not, under applicable federal bankruptcy law, apply the doctrine of substantive consolidation to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the Depositor with the assets and liabilities of HCA.
 
(ii)          In a properly presented and argued case in a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, in which HCA is the debtor, the bankruptcy court would determine that, with respect to the sale of the Receivables from HCA to the Depositor, such sale was a “true sale.”
 
(iii)         If HCA were to become a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, a federal bankruptcy court would hold that (A) the Receivables sold to the Depositor are not property of the estate of HCA under Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code and (B) the automatic stay arising pursuant to Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code would not operate to stay payments by HCA of collections on the Receivables in accordance with the Transaction Agreements.
 
Such opinion may contain such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as are usual and customary in opinions of this type and are reasonably acceptable to counsel to the Underwriters.  In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that they express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal law of the United States of America, the laws of the State of California, and the laws of the State of New York.

(h)           The Underwriters shall have received a letter of Mayer Brown LLP, counsel to the Depositor, HCA and the Trust, addressed to the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and counsel to the Underwriters, to the effect that such counsel has reviewed the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of HCA and the Depositor, representatives of the independent public accountants for HCA and the Depositor and your representatives and counsel, at which the contents of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and related matters were discussed and, although such counsel does not establish or confirm factual matters set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and has not undertaken any obligation to verify independently any of the factual matters set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and although many of the determinations required to be made in the preparation of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus involve matters of a non-legal nature, such counsel confirms that, on the basis of the information gained in the course of performing these services, nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that the Registration Statement, at the Effective Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Preliminary Prospectus, as of the Applicable Date, considered together with the statements in the Prospectus with respect to blanks and other items identified in the Preliminary Prospectus as to be completed in the Prospectus, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or that the Prospectus, as of its date or as of the Closing Date, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that such counsel does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except, to the extent set forth in paragraph II.J of such counsel’s opinion, to be delivered on the Closing Date, with respect to certain corporate matters) or for any information omitted from the Preliminary Prospectus that would be permitted to be omitted from a preliminary prospectus prepared in reliance on Rule 430B under the Securities Act.  In addition, such counsel does not express any belief with respect to the financial statements or notes thereto, or the other financial, statistical or accounting data contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or the Indenture Trustee’s Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1.  Such counsel expresses no opinion regarding any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus.
 
Such letter may provide that it is being furnished only to the Underwriters, is solely for their benefit as Underwriters of the Notes, and is not to be used, quoted, relied upon or otherwise referred to by any other person (including any direct or indirect purchaser or owner of any of the Notes, or any other person claiming by or through any such purchaser or owner, for any purpose or in any circumstance) or for any other purpose without such counsel’s prior written consent.
 
Such opinion may contain such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as are usual and customary in opinions of this type and are reasonably acceptable to counsel to the Underwriters.  In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that they express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal law of the United States of America and the laws of the State of New York.

(i)           Mayer Brown LLP, in its capacity as counsel for HCA and the Depositor, shall have delivered one or more opinions satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representative, subject to certain considerations set forth therein, substantially to the effect that
 
(i)           The provisions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement are effective under the UCC as in effect in the State of New York (the “New York UCC”) to create in favor of the Depositor a security interest in HCA’s rights in the portion of the collateral described in Section 2.01(a) or Section 2.01(d), as applicable, of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “RPA Assets”) and in any identifiable proceeds thereof (collectively, the “HCA Collateral”).  (Such counsel notes that a “security interest” as defined in 1-201(37) of the New York UCC includes the interests of a buyer of accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles and promissory notes and such counsel references their other opinion dated the Closing Date with respect to whether the security interest of the Depositor should be characterized as an ownership interest or solely as a collateral interest held to secure a loan made to HCA).
 
(ii)           The provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement are effective under the New York UCC to create in favor of the Trust a security interest in the Depositor’s rights in the portion of the collateral described in Section 2.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement (the “SSA Assets”) and in any identifiable proceeds thereof (the “Depositor Collateral”).  (Such counsel notes that a “security interest” as defined in 1-201(37) of the New York UCC includes the interests of a buyer of accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles and promissory notes and such counsel expresses no opinion as to whether the security interest of the Trust would be characterized as an ownership interest or solely as a collateral interest held to secure a loan made to the Depositor).
 
(iii)         The provisions of the Indenture are effective under the New York UCC to create in favor of the Indenture Trustee a security interest in the Trust’s rights in that portion of the collateral described in the granting clause of the Indenture (the “Indenture Collateral”) and in any identifiable proceeds thereof.  Such counsel expresses no opinion as to whether the security interest of the Indenture Trustee would be characterized as an ownership interest or solely as a collateral interest held to secure a loan made to the Depositor.
 
(iv)        Under the New York UCC (including the choice of laws provisions thereof) while a debtor is “located” in a jurisdiction the local law of that jurisdiction governs the perfection by the filing of a financing statement of a security interest in personal property that is accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles or instruments.  Under the New York UCC (including the choice of laws provisions thereof):

 
-22-

 

 
(1)
HCA is “located” in California and the local law of that state governs perfection by the filing of financing statements of a nonpossessory security interest in HCA’s rights in the HCA Collateral.
 
 
(2)
The Depositor is “located” in Delaware and the local law of that state governs perfection by the filing of financing statements of a nonpossessory security interest in Depositor’s rights in the Depositor Collateral.
 
 
(3)
The Trust is “located” in Delaware and the local law of that state governs perfection by the filing of financing statements of a nonpossessory security interest in the Trust’s rights in the Indenture Collateral.
 
(v)           When the HCA Financing Statement is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the UCC as in effect in the State of California (the “California UCC”)) in the California filing office specified in such opinion (the “California Search Office”), under the provisions of the California UCC, the Depositor’s security interest in the HCA Collateral will be perfected.
 
(vi)           When the Depositor Financing Statement is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Delaware (the “Delaware UCC”)) in the Delaware filing office specified in such opinion (the “Delaware Search Office”), under the provisions of the Delaware UCC, the Issuer’s security interest in the Depositor Collateral will be perfected.
 
(vii)           When the Issuer Financing Statement is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the Delaware UCC in the Delaware Search Office), under the provisions of the Delaware UCC, the Trust’s security interest in the Indenture Collateral will be perfected.
 
Under the New York UCC, except as provided in the next sentence, the local law of each of HCA’s, the Depositor’s or the Trust’s (each, a “Transferring Party”), as applicable, location (as set forth in clause (iv) above) will govern the effect of perfection or nonperfection and the priority of a nonpossessory security interest in such Transferring Party’s rights in the HCA Collateral, the Depositor Collateral or Indenture Collateral, as applicable.  To the extent that any of the HCA Collateral, the Depositor Collateral or Indenture Collateral is or becomes evidenced by instruments, tangible chattel paper or any other property in which a security interest may be perfected by taking possession, the local law of the jurisdiction where such property is located will govern, the effect of perfection or nonperfection, and the priority of both a possessory  and a nonpossessory security interest in such property.

 
-23-

 

(viii)       The Search Reports were requested using the proper legal names of each Transferring Party.  Such counsel has reviewed the Search Reports (as defined in such opinion and each as of the dates set forth therein) and, except for the financing statements naming specified parties as the secured parties, such Search Reports identify no secured party who has filed with the Search Offices a financing statement naming a Transferring Party as a debtor or seller and indicating the HCA Collateral, the Seller Collateral or the Collateral, as applicable, as collateral.  Accordingly,
 
 
(1)
under Article 9 of the applicable UCC and based solely on such counsel’s review of the Search Reports, upon the filing of the HCA Financing Statement in the California Search Office, the Depositor’s perfected security interest in the HCA Collateral will be prior to any other security interest granted by HCA that is perfected solely by the filing of financing statements in the California Search Office;
 
 
(2)
under Article 9 of the applicable UCC and based solely on such counsel’s review of the Search Reports, upon the filing of the Depositor Financing Statement in the Delaware Search Office, the Trust’s perfected security interest in the Depositor Collateral will be prior to any other security interest granted by the Depositor that is perfected solely by the filing of financing statements in the Delaware Search Office; and
 
 
(3)
under Article 9 of the applicable UCC and based solely on such counsel’s review of the Search Reports, assuming the Indenture Trustee’s security interest is perfected by the filing in the Delaware Search Office of a properly prepared financing statement (as to which we express no opinion), such perfected security interest in the Indenture Collateral will be prior to any other security interest granted by the Trust that is perfected solely by the filing of financing statements in the Delaware Search Office.
 
(ix)         Pursuant to (a) Sections 9-301 through 9-307 of the NY UCC and 9-705(c) of the UCC in effect as of the Closing Date in each Transferring Party’s “location” as set forth in paragraph D above, and (b) former Section 9-103 (repealed) of the UCC in such Transferring Party’s  “location” as set forth in paragraph D above, the Search Offices constitute all of the states in which searches must be made of filings naming a Transferring Party as debtor to determine whether a security interest in the HCA Collateral, Depositor Collateral or Indenture Collateral, as applicable, has been perfected by filing.

 
-24-

 

(x)          Pursuant to Section 9-305(a)(3) of the New York UCC, the local law of a securities intermediary’s jurisdiction governs perfection of a security interest by a method other than the filing of a financing statement in a securities account maintained by such securities intermediary and the security entitlements to financial assets credited thereto.  With respect to the Reserve Account maintained with the Securities Intermediary pursuant to the Control Agreement, when the Securities Intermediary indicates by book entry that a financial asset has been credited to the Reserve Account, a security entitlement will exist with respect to such financial asset.  Assuming that (a) the State of New York is the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction for purposes of the applicable UCC, (b) the Reserve Account is a securities account maintained by the Securities Intermediary for the Indenture Trustee, and (c) the Securities Intermediary has agreed to treat the Indenture Trustee as the sole person entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial assets credited to the Reserve Account, the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Trust’s rights in the Reserve Account and in security entitlements to financial assets credited thereto, is perfected by “control” within the meaning of Section 9-106 of the New York UCC.  Such security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Reserve Account and the security entitlements carried in the Reserve Account is prior to any other security interest therein under the New York UCC that is perfected by a method other than “control”.
 
Such opinion may contain such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as are usual and customary in opinions of this type and are reasonably acceptable to counsel to the Underwriters.  In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that they express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal law of the United States of America and the laws of the State of New York.

(iv)         With respect to the Indenture Trustee, the performance of its obligations  under each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not require any consent, approval, authorization or order of, filing with or notice to any United States federal or State of New York court, agency or other governmental body under any United States federal or State of New York statute or regulation that is normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except as such may be required under the securities laws of any State of the United States or such as have been obtained, effected or given.
 
(v)          With respect to the Indenture Trustee, the performance of its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents to which it is party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not result in any breach or violation of any United States federal or State of New York statute or regulation that is normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
 
(vi)        The Notes have been duly authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Indenture.

(ii)          The Owner Trustee has the full corporate trust power to accept the office of trustee under the Trust Agreement and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Trust Agreement.

(vi)        The Notes and the Certificates have been duly executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust.
 
(m)           The Representative shall have received an opinion addressed to the Representative, of Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., special Delaware counsel for the Trust, dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters, to the effect that:
 
(i)           The Trust Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Owner Trustee and the Depositor enforceable against the Owner Trustee and the Depositor in accordance with its terms subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws relating to and affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(iii)         The Transaction Documents to which the Trust is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trust.
 
(iv)        To the extent that Article 9 of the Delaware UCC is applicable (without regard to conflict of laws principles), upon the filing of the Financing Statement with the Division, the Indenture Trustee will have a perfected security interest in the Trust’s rights in that portion of the Collateral (as defined in the Indenture) described in the Financing Statement that may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement with the Division (the “Filing Collateral”) and the proceeds (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC) thereof.
 
(v)         The Search Report sets forth the correct filing office and the correct debtor name that are necessary to identify those persons, under the Delaware UCC, who have on file financing statements against the Trust covering the Filing Collateral as of the Effective Time.  The Search Report identifies no secured party who has filed with the Division a financing statement naming the Trust as debtor and describing the Filing Collateral prior to the Effective Time.
 
(vi)        Assuming for federal income tax purposes that the Trust will not be classified as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation, and that the Notes will be characterized as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes, then the Trust will not be subject to any franchise or income tax under the laws of the State of Delaware, and the Notes will also be characterized as indebtedness for Delaware tax purposes.

 
-27-

 

(vii)       Under § 3805(c) of the Statutory Trust Act, the Trust is a separate legal entity and, assuming that the Sale and Servicing Agreement conveys good title to the Trust property to the Trust as a true sale and not as a security arrangement, the Trust rather than the holders of the Certificates will hold whatever title to the Trust property as may be conveyed to it from time to time pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, except to the extent that the Trust has taken action to dispose of or otherwise transfer or encumber any part of the Trust property.

(x)          The execution, delivery and performance by the Owner Trustee of the Trust Agreement and, on behalf of the Trust, the Transaction Documents to which the Trust is a party, do not require any consent, approval or authorization of, or any registration or filing with, any governmental authority of the State of Delaware, except for the filing of the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State.
 
(xi)         Neither the consummation by the Owner Trustee of the transactions contemplated in the Trust Agreement or, on behalf of the Trust, the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents to which the Trust is a party nor the fulfillment of the terms thereof by the Owner Trustee will conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any law of the State of Delaware.
 
Such opinion may contain such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as are usual and customary in opinions of this type and are reasonably acceptable to counsel to the Underwriters.  In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that they express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Delaware.  Capitalized terms used in the above opinion paragraphs and not otherwise defined in this Agreement will have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the relevant opinion.

and will reimburse, as incurred, each such indemnified party for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Depositor and HCA will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Issuer Information, the Road Show Materials or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information; provided, further, that the Depositor and HCA shall not be liable to any Underwriter or any of the directors, officers, employees and agents of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, with respect to any loss, claim, damage or liability that results from the fact that the Underwriter sold Notes to a person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, if delivery thereof was required, a copy of the Prospectus or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented, whichever is most recent, if the Depositor has previously furnished copies thereof to such Underwriter within a reasonable time period prior to such confirmation.  The indemnity provided for in this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Depositor and HCA may otherwise have.

 
-31-

 

(b)           Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Depositor and HCA, each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor or HCA within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Depositor, HCA or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (B) the omission or the alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information or (ii) arise out of or are based upon the breach by such Underwriter of the representation and covenant set forth in Section 6(i), and, in each case will reimburse, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Depositor, HCA or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or any action in respect thereof; provided, however, that the indemnification provided by any Underwriter pursuant to clause (ii) above will in no event exceed the total underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Spread”) received by such Underwriter as set forth in the Prospectus.  The remedies provided for in this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
 
(c)           In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10, such person (for purposes of this paragraph (c), the “indemnified party”) shall, promptly after receipt by such party of notice of the commencement of such action, notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (for purposes of this paragraph (c), the “indemnifying party”), but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 10.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (which may be counsel to such indemnifying party if otherwise reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party); provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties.  After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of any such action and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, designated in writing by the Representative in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 10, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who are parties to such action or actions), (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party, (iii) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or (iv) the indemnifying party has elected to assume the defense of such proceeding but has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified parties.  All fees and expenses reimbursed pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.  After such notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the consent of the indemnifying party.  No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

 
-32-

 

(d)           In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 10 is unavailable or insufficient, for any reason, to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), each indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the offering of Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Depositor and HCA on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering of the Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Depositor and HCA (including for such purpose, the value of the Certificates) bear to the Spread as set forth in the Prospectus.  The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Depositor, HCA or the Underwriters, the parties’ relative intents, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.  The Depositor, HCA and the Underwriters agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this paragraph (d).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), no Underwriter shall be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the amount by which the Spread received by it in the initial offering of such Notes, less the aggregate amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay in respect of the same or any substantially similar claim, and no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 (f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute hereunder are several in proportion to their respective principal amount of Notes they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.  For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Depositor and HCA, each officer of the Depositor and HCA and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor and HCA within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Depositor and HCA.

 
-33-

 

(e)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the aggregate liability of any Underwriter to the Depositor and HCA in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, legal or other expenses or other amounts (collectively, “Amounts”) arising out of or based upon any breaches or alleged breaches by such Underwriter of its covenant set forth in Section 6(i)(B), without regard to whether such amounts are payable by such Underwriter under the indemnification provided by Section 10(b) or as damages for breach of contract or otherwise, will in no event exceed the Spread received by such Underwriter as set forth in the Prospectus.
 
SECTION 11.       Defaults by an Underwriter.  If any one or more Underwriter(s) fail(s) to purchase and pay for any of the Notes agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter(s) hereunder, and such failure constitutes a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriter(s) shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions that the amount of Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate amount of Notes set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriter(s)) the Notes that the defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Notes that the defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed to purchase exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes, the remaining Underwriter(s) shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Notes, and if such non-defaulting Underwriter(s) do not purchase all the Notes, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter.  In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this paragraph, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the remaining Underwriter(s) shall determine in order that the required changes in the Prospectus Supplement or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter(s) of any liability to the Depositor, HCA, their Affiliates and any non-defaulting Underwriter(s) for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

 
-34-

 

SECTION 12.       Survival of Representations and Obligations.  The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement or contained in certificates of officers submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or statement as to the results thereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes.  If for any reason the purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated, each of the Depositor and HCA shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to Section 7 and the obligations pursuant to Section 10 shall remain in effect.  If for any reason the purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated (other than as a result of any Underwriters’ breach under Section 4 of this Agreement), the Depositor and HCA will reimburse the Underwriters severally, upon demand, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by any Underwriter in connection with the offering of the Notes.
 
SECTION 13.       Obligations Solely Contractual in Nature.  Each of the Depositor and HCA acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters’ responsibility to the Depositor and HCA is solely contractual in nature and that none of the Underwriters or their affiliates shall be acting in a fiduciary or advisory capacity, or otherwise owe any fiduciary or advisory duty, to the Depositor or HCA in connection with the offering of the Notes and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ANNEX A
 
REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS OF THE UNDERWRITERS
 
(a)           Each Underwriter represents and agrees that:
 
(i)           it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (“FSMA”)) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the Notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Issuer; and
 
(ii)          it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.
 
(b)           In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), each Underwriter represents and agrees that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”), each Underwriter has not made and will not make an offer of Notes to the public in that Relevant Member State prior to the publication of a prospectus in relation to Notes which has been approved by the competent authority in that Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with the Prospectus Directive, except that it may, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of Underwritten Notes to the public in that Relevant Member State at any time:
 
(i)           to legal entities which are authorized or regulated to operate in financial markets or, if not so authorized or regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities;
 
(ii)          to any legal entity which has two or more of (1) an average of at least 250 employees during the last financial year; (2) a total balance sheet of more than €43,000,000 and (3) an annual net turnover of more than €50,000,000, as shown in its last annual or consolidated accounts; or

For purposes of this Annex A, the expression an “offer of Notes to the public” in relation to any notes in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Notes, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State, and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.

Section 2.07          Title to Trust Property.  Subject to the Indenture, legal title to all the Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case title shall be deemed to be vested in the Owner Trustee, a co-trustee or a separate trustee, as the case may be; provided that prior to taking title to any part of the Trust Estate, the Owner Trustee will notify the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee.
 
Section 2.08          Situs of Trust.  The Trust will be located and administered in the State of Delaware.  All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be located in the State of Delaware or the State of New York.  The Trust shall not have any employees; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or prohibit the Owner Trustee from having employees within or without the State of Delaware.  Payments will be received by the Trust only in Delaware or New York, and payments will be made by the Trust only from Delaware or New York.  The only office of the Trust will be at the Corporate Trust Office in the State of Delaware.
 
Section 2.09          Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Depositor.  The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee that:
 
(a)           The Depositor is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted.

(d)           The Depositor has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor, in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally or by general equitable principles.
 
(e)           The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the articles and bylaws of the Depositor, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the Basic Documents); nor violate any law or, to the best of the Depositor’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties.
 
(f)            There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Depositor, threatened before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement.
 
(g)           The representations and warranties of the Depositor in Section 3.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement are true and correct.
 
Section 2.10          Federal Income Tax Allocations.  If the Trust Certificates are held by more than one Person, for federal income tax purposes each item of income, gain, loss, credit and deduction for a month shall be allocated to the Certificateholders as of the first Record Date following the end of such month in proportion to their Certificate Percentage Interests on such Record Date.  The Trust (or the Administrator in accordance with the Administration Agreement and Section 5.04) is authorized to modify the allocations in this paragraph if necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, for the allocations to fairly reflect the economic income, gain or loss to the Certificateholders or otherwise comply with the requirements of the Code.

ARTICLE 3.
TRUST CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS
 
Section 3.01          Initial Ownership.  Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.05 and until the issuance of the Trust Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust.
 
Section 3.02          The Trust Certificates.  The Trust Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee.  Trust Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement and 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 Trust Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates.
 
If a transfer of the Trust Certificates is permitted pursuant to Section 3.11, a transferee of a Trust Certificate shall become a Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such transferee’s acceptance of a Trust Certificate duly registered in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.04.
 
Section 3.03          Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Trust Certificates.  On the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Trust Certificates in an aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest equal to 100% to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust, without further action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations.  No Trust Certificate shall entitle its Holder to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless there shall appear on such Trust Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or Citibank, N.A., as the Owner Trustee’s Authenticating Agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Trust Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.  All Trust Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
 
Section 3.04          Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Trust Certificates.  The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Owner Trustee shall provide for the registration of Trust Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Trust Certificates as herein provided.  Wilmington Trust Company shall be the initial Certificate Registrar.
 
(2011-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Trust Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause its Authenticating Agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Trust Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any Authenticating Agent.  At the option of a Certificateholder, Trust Certificates may be exchanged for other Trust Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the Trust Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08.
 
Every Trust Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the related Certificateholder or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.  Each Trust Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Owner Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.
 
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Trust Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Trust Certificates.
 
The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall not make, and the Certificate Registrar shall not register transfers or exchanges of, Trust Certificates for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Trust Certificates.
 
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the transfer of the Trust Certificates.
 
Section 3.05          Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Certificates.  If (a) any mutilated Trust Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee or the Owner Trustee’s Authenticating Agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate, a new Trust Certificate of like tenor and denomination.  In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.  Any duplicate Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Certificate shall be found at any time.
 
(2011-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)

Section 3.06          Persons Deemed Owners.  Prior to due presentation of a Trust Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Trust Certificate is registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Trust Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.
 
Section 3.07          Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.  The Owner Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Depositor, within 15 days after receipt by the Owner Trustee of a written request therefor from the Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Depositor, a list, in such form as the Servicer or the Depositor may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date.  The Certificate Registrar shall also promptly furnish to the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent a copy of such list at any time there is a change therein.  If (a) three or more Certificateholders or (b) one or more Holders of Trust Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of the Certificate Percentage Interests apply in writing to the Owner Trustee, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Trust Certificates and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Owner Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of Certificateholders.  Each Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Trust Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.  The Certificate Registrar shall upon the request of the Owner Trustee provide such list, or access to such list, of Certificateholders as contemplated by this Section.
 
Section 3.08          Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Trust shall designate in the State of Delaware an office or offices or agency or agencies where Trust Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Trust and Owner Trustee in respect of the Trust Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served. The Trust initially designates Wilmington Trust Company as its office for such purposes.  The Trust shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.
 
Section 3.09          Appointment of Paying Agent.  The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.02 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee.  Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above.  The Owner Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect; provided, however, the Owner Trustee shall have no duty to monitor or oversee the compliance by the Paying Agent of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Basic Document.  The Paying Agent initially shall be Citibank, N.A., and any co-paying agent chosen by the Trust.  Citibank, N.A. shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Owner Trustee.  In the event that Citibank, N.A. shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Depositor, with the consent of the Owner Trustee, shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company).  The Trust shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed hereunder to execute and deliver to the Trust an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Trust that, as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders.  The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee.  Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.
 
(2011-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)

Upon the issuance of the Trust Certificates, the Owner Trustee and each Paying Agent shall recognize the Holders of the Trust Certificates as Certificateholders.  The Trust Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved, or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Owner Trustee, as evidenced by its execution thereof.

(2011-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)
11

 
(1)           It is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A (“QIB”) and is acquiring the Trust Certificates for its own institutional account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs).
 
(2)           It acknowledges that the Trust Certificates have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.
 
(3)           It is familiar with Rule 144A and is aware that the sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and it is not acquiring the Trust Certificates with a view to, or for resale in connection with, a distribution that would constitute a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act or a violation of the Securities Act, and that, if in the future it decides to resell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any Trust Certificates, such Trust Certificates may be resold, assigned, pledged or transferred only (i) to the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof, (ii) so long as such Trust Certificate is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person whom it reasonably believes after due inquiry is a QIB acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs) to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge, assignment or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (iv) in a sale, pledge or other transfer made in a transaction otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case (A) the Owner Trustee shall require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor and (B) the Owner Trustee shall require a written opinion of counsel (which will not be at the expense of the Depositor or the Owner Trustee) satisfactory to the Depositor and the Owner Trustee to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any state of the United States.
 
(4)           It is aware that it (or any account for which it is purchasing) may be required to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Trust Certificates for an indefinite period, and it (or such account) is able to bear such risk for an indefinite period.
 
(5)           It understands that the Trust Certificates will bear legends substantially as set forth in Section 3.12.
 
(6)           If it is acquiring any Trust Certificates for the account of one or more qualified institutional buyers, it represents that it has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and that it has full power to make the foregoing acknowledgements, representations and agreements on behalf of each such account.
 
(2011-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)
12

 
(7)           It (and any Person for which it holds Trust Certificates) has neither acquired nor will it transfer any Trust Certificate it purchases (or any interest therein) or cause any such Trust Certificate (or any interest therein) to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter-market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations.
 
(8)           It (and any Person for which it holds Trust Certificates, collectively for purposes of this paragraph (8), a “transferee”) either (A) is not, and will not become, a partnership, S corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or a disregarded entity of any of the foregoing) or (B) is such an entity, but none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in such transferee have allowed or caused, or will allow or cause, 50% or more (or, if the Owner Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance acceptable to the Depositor that the proposed transfer to such transferee will not cause the Trust to be treated as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code, such other percentage as the Owner Trustee may establish prior to the time of such proposed transfer) of the value of such interests in the transferee to be attributable to such transferee’s ownership of Trust Certificates.
 
(9)           It understands that if it is acquiring any Trust Certificate for the account of one or more Persons, (A) it shall provide to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor information as to the number of such Persons and any changes in the number of such Persons and (B) any such change in the number of Persons for whose account a Trust Certificate is held shall require the written consent of the Owner Trustee, which consent shall be granted unless the Owner Trustee determines that such proposed change in number of Persons would create a risk that the Trust would be classified for federal or any applicable state tax purposes as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation.
 
(10)           It understands that no subsequent transfer of the Trust Certificates (or any interest therein) is permitted unless (A) such transfer is of a Trust Certificate with a Certificate Percentage Interest of at least 5%, (B) it causes its proposed transferee to provide to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, or such other written statement as the Owner Trustee shall prescribe and (C) the Trust consents in writing to the proposed transfer, which consent shall be granted unless the Owner Trustee determines that such transfer would either create a risk that the Trust would be classified for federal or any applicable state tax purposes as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation; provided, however, that any attempted transfer that would cause the number of beneficial owners of Trust Certificates in the aggregate to exceed 100 or otherwise cause the Trust to become a publicly traded partnership for income tax purposes shall be a void transfer.
 
(11)           It understands that the Opinion of Counsel to the Trust that the Trust is not a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation is dependent in part on the accuracy of the representations in paragraphs (7), (8), (9) and (10) above.

13

 
(12)           It is a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

Each transferee of the Trust Certificates shall be required to execute or to have executed a representation letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C, or may deliver such other representations (or an opinion of counsel) as may be approved by the Owner Trustee and the Depositor, to the effect that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws.
 
In addition, such prospective purchaser shall be responsible for providing additional information or certification, as shall be reasonably requested by the Owner Trustee or the Depositor, to support the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements, it being understood that such additional information is not intended to create additional restrictions on the transfer of the Trust Certificates.  Neither the Depositor, the Trust nor the Owner Trustee shall be obligated to register or monitor compliance with the Trust Certificates under the Securities Act or any state securities or “Blue Sky” laws.
 
In determining compliance with the transfer restrictions contained in this Section, the Owner Trustee may rely upon a written opinion of counsel (which may include in-house counsel of the transferor), the cost of obtaining which shall be an expense of the Holder of the Certificate to be transferred.
 
(b)           The Trust Certificates may not be acquired by or for the account of (i) an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or (iii) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or a plan’s investment in the entity (each, a “Benefit Plan Investor”).  By accepting and holding a Trust Certificate, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan Investor.

The Owner Trustee hereby appoints Citibank, N.A. as Authenticating Agent for the authentication of Certificates upon any registration of transfer or exchange of such Certificates. Whenever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Owner Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Owner Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.

(a)           to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Certificateholders, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Basic Documents to the extent the Administrator has agreed in the Administration Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Owner Trustee hereunder or under any Basic Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be held liable for the default or failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Administration Agreement; and

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

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

NO TRUST CERTIFICATE OR INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE ACQUIRED BY OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF (I) AN “EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN” (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3(3) OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”), THAT IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF TITLE I OF ERISA, (II) A “PLAN” DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4975(e)(1), OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”) THAT IS SUBJECT TO SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE OR (III) ANY ENTITY WHOSE UNDERLYING ASSETS INCLUDE PLAN ASSETS BY REASON OF AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN’S OR A PLAN’S INVESTMENT IN THE ENTITY (EACH, A “BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR”).  BY ACCEPTING AND HOLDING A TRUST CERTIFICATE, THE HOLDER THEREOF SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE REPRESENTED AND WARRANTED THAT IT IS NOT A BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR.
 
THIS CERTIFIES THAT Hyundai ABS Funding Corporation is the registered owner of a 100% Certificate Percentage Interest that is nonassessable, fully-paid, beneficial ownership interest in the assets of Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2011-A (the “Trust”) formed by Hyundai ABS Funding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Depositor”).
 
The Trust is governed by a Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated as of January 27, 2011 (the “Trust Agreement”), between the Depositor, Administrator and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below.  To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Sale and Servicing Agreement among the Trust, the Depositor, Hyundai Capital America, as Seller and Servicer (the “Servicer”) and Citibank, N.A., as Indenture Trustee (“Indenture Trustee”), dated as of January 27, 2011 as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time.
 
This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Trust Certificates designated as Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2011-A Asset Backed Trust Certificates (herein called the “Trust Certificates”).  Also issued under the Indenture dated as of January 27, 2011 between the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, are six classes of Notes, designated as 0.31830% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-1 (the “Class A-1 Notes”), 0.69% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-2 (the “Class A-2 Notes”), 1.16% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-3 (the “Class A-3 Notes”), 1.78% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-4 (the “Class A-4 Notes”), 2.45% Asset Backed Notes, Class B (the “Class B Notes”), and 3.00% Asset Backed Notes, Class C (the “Class C Notes”, collectively with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes and the Class B Notes, the “Notes”).  This Trust Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Trust Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound.   Under the Trust Agreement, there will be distributed on the 15th day of each month (or, if such 15th day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), commencing on March 15, 2011, to the Person in whose name this Trust Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day of the preceding month, such Certificateholder’s Certificate Percentage Interest of any amounts available to be distributed to Certificateholders on such date.
 
(2011-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)
A-2

 
The holder of this Trust Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive distributions in respect of this Trust Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders as described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, as applicable.
 
It is the intent of the Depositor and the Certificateholders that, for purposes of federal income, state and local income and franchise tax, until the Trust Certificates are beneficially owned by more than one Person, the Trust will be disregarded as an entity separate from its owner.  At such time that the Trust Certificates are beneficially owned by more than one Person, it is the intent of the Depositor and the Certificateholders that, for purposes of federal income, state and local income and franchise tax, the Trust will be treated as a partnership, the assets of which are the assets held by the Trust, and the Certificateholders will be treated as partners in that partnership.  The Depositor and the Certificateholders, by acceptance of a Trust Certificate, agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Trust as such for tax purposes.
 
Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not at any time institute against the Depositor, or join in or encourage any institution against the Depositor of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Trust Certificates, the Notes, the Trust Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.
 
Each Certificateholder by accepting a Trust Certificate acknowledges that such Certificateholder’s Trust Certificates represent beneficial interests in the Trust only and do not represent interests in or obligations of Depositor, the Servicer, Administrator, Seller, Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as expressly set forth or contemplated in the Trust Agreement, the Trust Certificates or the Basic Documents.   In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, each Certificateholder, by accepting a Trust Certificate, acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets or interests therein of the Depositor (other than the Trust Estate and Reserve Account relating to this transaction) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by the Depositor to another securitization trust or other Person or Persons in connection therewith (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a lien) (“Other Assets”).  To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained herein, a Certificateholder either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or through the Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed asserted against or through the Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor, then each Certificateholder, by accepting a Trust Certificate, further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of the Depositor which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to priority of distribution or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether asserted against Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities.  This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Each Certificateholder, by acceptance of a Trust Certificate, further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this paragraph and the terms of this paragraph may be enforced by an action for specific performance.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and shall survive the termination of the Trust Agreement.
 
(2011-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)
A-3

 
The Trust Certificates may not be acquired by or for the account of (i) an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or (iii) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or a plan’s investment in the entity (each, a “Benefit Plan Investor”).  By accepting and holding a Trust Certificate, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan Investor.
 
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of Owner Trustee, by manual signature, this Trust Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
 
THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2011-A,
as Issuer
c/o Wilmington Trust Company,
as Owner Trustee
 
Wilmington Trust Company,
as Owner Trustee
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
In connection with our proposed purchase of [     ]% Certificate Percentage Interest Asset Backed Trust Certificates (the “Trust Certificates”) of Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2011-A (the “Issuer”), a trust formed by Hyundai ABS Funding Corporation (the “Depositor”), we confirm that:
 
a.           We are a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A (“QIB”) and are acquiring the Trust Certificate for our own institutional account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs).
 
b.           We acknowledge that the Trust Certificates have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.
 
c.           We are familiar with Rule 144A and are aware that the sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and we are not acquiring the Trust Certificates with a view to, or for resale in connection with, a distribution that would constitute a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act or a violation of the Securities Act, and that, if in the future we decide to resell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any Trust Certificates, such Trust Certificates may be resold, assigned, pledged or transferred only (i) to the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof, (ii) so long as such Trust Certificate is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person whom we reasonably believe after due inquiry is a QIB acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs) to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge, assignment or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (iv) in a sale, pledge or other transfer made in a transaction otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case (A) the Owner Trustee will require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor and (B) the Owner Trustee will require a written opinion of counsel (which will not be at the expense of the Depositor or the Owner Trustee) satisfactory to the Depositor and the Owner Trustee to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any state of the United States;
 
(2011-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)
C-1

 
d.           We have neither acquired nor will we transfer any Trust Certificate we purchase (or any interest therein) or cause any such Trust Certificate (or any interest therein) to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter-market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations.
 
e.           We either (A) are not, and will not become, a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or a disregarded entity of any of the foregoing) or (B) are such an entity, but none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in us have allowed or caused, or will allow or cause, 50% or more (or, if the Owner Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance acceptable to the Depositor that the proposed transfer to such transferee will not cause the Trust to be treated as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code,  such other percentage as the Owner Trustee may establish prior to the time of such proposed transfer) of the value of such interests in us to be attributable to our ownership of Trust Certificates.
 
f.           We (A) are acquiring the Trust Certificate for the account of [______] Persons and we will notify the Owner Trustee of any changes in the number of such Persons and (B) understand that any such change in the number of Persons for whose account a Trust Certificate is held shall require the written consent of the Owner Trustee, which consent shall be granted unless the Owner Trustee determines that such proposed change in number of Persons would create a risk that the Trust would be classified for federal or any applicable state tax purposes as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation.
 
g.           We understand that no subsequent transfer of the Trust Certificates is permitted unless (A) such transfer is of a Trust Certificate with a Certificate Percentage Interest of at least 5%, (B) we cause the proposed transferee to provide to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor a letter substantially in the form of this Exhibit C to the Trust Agreement or such other written statement as the Owner Trustee shall prescribe and (C) the Trust consents in writing to the proposed transfer, which consent shall be granted unless the Owner Trustee determines that such transfer would create a risk that the Trust would be classified for federal or any applicable state tax purposes as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation; provided, however, that any attempted transfer that would either cause the number of registered holders of Trust Certificates in the aggregate to exceed 100 or otherwise cause the Trust to become a publicly traded partnership for income tax purposes shall be a void transfer.
 
h.           We understand that the Opinion of Counsel to the Trust that the Trust is not a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation is dependent in part on the accuracy of the representations in paragraphs (d), (e), (f) and (g) above.
 
i.           We are a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.
 
(2011-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)
C-2

 
j.           No Trust Certificate will be acquired or held by or for the account of (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or (iii) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or a plan’s investment in the entity.  Each Person who acquires any Trust Certificate or interest therein will certify that the foregoing conditions are satisfied.
 
k.           We are aware that we (or any account for which we are purchasing) may be required to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Trust Certificates for an indefinite period, and we (or such account) are able to bear such risk for an indefinite period.
 
l.           We understand that the Trust Certificates will bear legends substantially as set forth in Section 3.12 of the Trust Agreement.
 
m.           If we are acquiring any Trust Certificates for the account of one or more QIB, we represent that we have sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and that we have full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements on behalf of each such account.
 
n.           We acknowledge that the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, and their Affiliates, and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements.
 
You are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
 
Very truly yours,

In determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, at the expense of the Issuer and paid in the priority set forth in Section 5.05(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, but need not, obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

(b)           the Event of Default arises from the Servicer’s failure to remit payments when due or the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;
 
(2011-A Indenture)
33

 
(c)           such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred in complying with such request;
 
(d)           the Indenture Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and
 
(e)           no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such sixty (60) day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes.
 
It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.
 
In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall act at the direction of the group representing the greater percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Notes and if there is no such group then in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.
 
Section 5.07     Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
 
Section 5.08     Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.
 
Section 5.09     Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.10          Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee, or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be.
 
Section 5.11          Control by the Controlling Class of Noteholders.  The Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:
 
(a)           such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;
 
(b)           subject to the express terms of Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes;
 
(c)           if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, then any written direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and
 
(d)           the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.
 
Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.
 
Section 5.12          Waiver of Past Defaults.  Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02, the Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes may, waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
 
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
 
Section 6.01          Duties of Indenture Trustee.
 
(a)           If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and 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 such person’s own affairs.
 
Except during the continuance of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee.  In the absence of bad faith or negligence on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon the face value of the certificates, reports, resolutions, documents, orders, opinions or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument; however, the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Noteholders of such instrument in the event that the Indenture Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.
 
(b)          The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:
 
(i)           this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (a) of this Section;

(2011-A Indenture)

(ii)          the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
 
(iii)         the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or any other Basic Documents.
 
(c)          Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Indenture Trustee is subject to this Section.
 
(d)         The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for indebtedness evidenced by or arising under any of the Basic Documents, including principal of or interest on the Notes, or interest on any money received by it except as the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.
 
(e)         Money held in trust by the Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
 
(f)          No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to advance, 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 it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
 
(g)         Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA.
 
(h)         In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be required to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer or any other party under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
 
(i)          The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (ii) to see to any insurance, or (iii) 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 Fund.
 
The Indenture Trustee, or a Responsible Officer thereof, shall only be charged with actual knowledge of any default or an Event of Default if a Responsible Officer actually knows of such default or Event of Default or the Indenture Trustee receives written notice of such default or Event of Default from the Issuer, the Servicer or Noteholders owning Notes aggregating not less than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take notice and in the absence of such actual notice and knowledge, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no such default or Event of Default.

Section 6.02          Rights of Indenture Trustee.
 
(a)           The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on the face value of any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.
 
(b)           Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel from the appropriate party. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel from the appropriate party. The right of the Indenture Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture or in any Basic Document shall not be construed as a duty of the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such discretionary act.
 
(c)           The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or custodian appointed by the Indenture Trustee with due care.
 
(d)           The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, that the Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
 
(e)           The Indenture Trustee may consult, at the Issuer’s expense and paid in accordance with Section 4.16 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or, to the extent not so paid, in accordance with and in the priority set forth in Section 5.05(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.
 
(f)            In the event that the Indenture Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent, Note Registrar or collateral agent, the rights and protections afforded to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article 6 shall be afforded to such Paying Agent, Note Registrar or collateral agent.
 
(g)           The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
 
(h)           The right of the Indenture Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act; and

(i)            The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the powers granted hereunder.
 
Section 6.03          Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Section 6.11.
 
Section 6.04          Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer.  The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Trust Estate or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture, any Basic Document or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.
 
Section 6.05          Notice of Defaults.  If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within thirty (30) days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice to Noteholders if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.
 
Section 6.06          Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders.  Solely from information provided by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall make available to each Noteholder such information as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns.
 
Section 6.07         Compensation and Indemnity.  The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include but are not limited to the reasonable out-of-pocket compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder or under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or under any other Basic Document or in connection with the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer or the Servicer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to, pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

The Issuer’s obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.01(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
 
Section 6.08         Replacement of Indenture Trustee.  No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and each Rating Agency. The Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by notifying the Indenture Trustee if:
 
(a)           the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;
 
(b)           the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;
 
(c)           a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property;
 
(d)           the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting; or
 
(e)           the Indenture Trustee breaches any representation, warranty or covenant made by it under any Basic Document.
 
If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.
 
A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall be paid all amounts owed to it upon its resignation or removal. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any Successor Indenture Trustee.
 
If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 45 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

Section 6.09          Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.  If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be qualified and eligible under Section 6.11.
 
In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force that it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.
 
Section 6.10          Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.
 
(a)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08 hereof.

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture.

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such officer’s certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, either Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the applicable Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
 
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
 
Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.
 
Section 11.03        Acts of Noteholders.
 
(a)           Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
 
(b)           The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

Section 11.04        Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies.  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture shall be in writing and, if such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or act of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:
 
(a)           the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer, shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; or
 
(b)           the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder, shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed to: Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2011-A, in care of Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner Trustee, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890-0001, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.
 
Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered, electronically delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the case of Moody’s, at the following address: Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., ABS Monitoring Department, 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, 25th Floor, New York, NY 10007; and (ii) in the case of Standard & Poor’s, via electronic delivery to Servicer_reports@sandp.com or at the following address: Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business, 55 Water Street, New York, New York  10041, Attention of Asset Backed Surveillance Department; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.
 
Section 11.05        Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.  Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at such Holder’s address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

(2011-A Indenture)
 
56

 
 
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

(xvi)       All Filings Made.  All filings (including UCC filings, except for UCC releases required to be filed in accordance with the Reconveyance Documents) required to be made in any jurisdiction to give the Issuer a first perfected ownership interest in the Receivables and the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in the Receivables have been made.
 
(xvii)      No Defenses.  No Receivable is subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim, dispute or defense, including the defense of usury, whether arising out of transactions concerning the Receivable or otherwise, and the operation of any terms of the Receivable or the exercise by the Seller or the Obligor of any right under the Receivable will not render the Receivable unenforceable in whole or in part, and no such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim, dispute or defense, including the defense of usury, has been asserted with respect thereto.

Section 7.01          Obligations of Seller.  The obligations of the Seller under this Agreement shall not be affected by reason of any invalidity, illegality or irregularity of any Receivable.
 
Section 7.02         Repurchase Events.  The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that the occurrence of a breach of any of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3.02(b), with respect to any Receivable shall constitute an event obligating the Seller to repurchase such Receivable if the interest of the Noteholders or the Issuer are materially and adversely affected by such breach (each, a “Repurchase Event”).  If the Seller does not correct or cure such breach prior to the end of the Collection Period (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier date) after the date that the Seller became aware or was notified of such breach, then the Seller shall purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach from the Issuer on the Payment Date following the end of such Collection Period.  Any such purchase by the Seller shall be at a price equal to the Purchased Amount.  In consideration for such repurchase, the Seller shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the Purchased Amount by depositing such amount into the Collection Account on the applicable Payment Date.  Upon payment of such Purchased Amount by the Seller, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee any Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto.  It is understood and agreed that the right to cause the Seller to purchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Indenture Trustee.  Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee will have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 7.02.

(d)     Subject to the provisions of Section 4.02(b), the Servicer and its Affiliates may engage in any marketing practice or promotion or any sale of any products, goods or services to Obligors with respect to the Receivables so long as such practices, promotions or sales are offered to obligors of comparable motor vehicle receivables serviced by the Servicer for itself and others, whether or not such practices, promotions or sales might result in a decrease in the aggregate amount of payments on the Receivables, prepayments or faster or slower timing of the payment of the Receivables.

Section 4.03    Realization upon Receivables.  Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement and the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of and liquidate any Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable with respect to which the Servicer shall have determined that eventual payment in full is unlikely; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect not to repossess a Financed Vehicle if in its good faith judgment it determines that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would not be greater than the expense of such repossession.  In repossessing or otherwise converting the ownership of a Financed Vehicle and liquidating a Receivable, the Servicer is authorized to follow such customary practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, consistent with the standard of care required by Section 4.01, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers, the sale of the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale, the submission of claims under an insurance policy and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon a Receivable; provided, however, that in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its reasonable judgment that such repair or repossession shall increase the related Liquidation Proceeds by an amount materially greater than the expense for such repair or repossession.  The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses incurred by it in the course of repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds, but only out of the cash proceeds of the sale of such Financed Vehicle, any deficiency obtained from the related Obligor or any amounts received from recourse to the related Dealer.
 
Section 4.04    Target Overcollateralization Amount and Reserve Account Required Amount.  From time to time after the date hereof, the Servicer may notify each Rating Agency that it wishes to apply a formula for determining the Target Overcollateralization Amount or the Reserve Account Required Amount that is different from the formula described in the related definition, or change the manner by which the Reserve Account is funded. If the Servicer provides such notice in writing to each Rating Agency and the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to the application of such formula or change and the Servicer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that the Issuer has not received written notice from any Rating Agency that the application of such formula or such change will result in a reduction, withdrawal or down-grade of the then-current rating of each class of Notes (upon receipt of which Officer’s Certificate the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to verify the content thereof and no liability as a result of its reliance thereon), then the Target Overcollateralization Amount or the Reserve Account Required Amount, as applicable, will be determined in accordance with the new formula or, if applicable, the manner in which the Reserve Account is funded will change accordingly.
 
Section 4.05    Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles.  The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle.  The provisions set forth in this Section are the sole requirements under the Basic Documents with respect to the maintenance of collateral or security on the Receivables.  It is understood that the Financed Vehicles are the collateral and security for the Receivables, but that the certificate of title with respect to a Financed Vehicle does not constitute collateral and merely evidences such security interest.  The Servicer is hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle, or for any other reason.  In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Issuer is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the state in which such Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Issuer, the Servicer hereby agrees that the designation of HCA as the secured party on the certificate of title is in its capacity as agent of the Issuer.

(a)      Liens in Force.  The Servicer will not release the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except (i) in the event of payment in full by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or payment in full less a deficiency which the Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with its customary servicing practices, (ii) in connection with repossession and sale of the Financed Vehicle or (iii) as may be required by an insurer in order to receive proceeds from any Insurance Policy covering such Financed Vehicle;
 
(b)     No Impairment.  The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Trust in the property of the Trust;

(d)     Safekeeping.  The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold, or cause its agent to hold, the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its customary servicing practices.
