(a) The Class A-1 Notes and the Class D Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state or other applicable securities laws and will not be listed on any exchange. No transfer of a Class A-1 Note or a Class D Note shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, except that the initial sale shall be made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Neither the Class A-1 Notes nor the Class D Notes nor any interest or participation therein may be offered or sold except to a person who the seller reasonably believes is a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A. Each beneficial owner of a Class A-1 Note or a Class D Note is deemed to represent and warrant that it is a QIB. The Seller shall provide to any Holder of a Class A-1 Note or a Class D Note and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the Class A-1 Notes or the Class D Notes (as applicable) and the Receivables and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Class A-1 Note or Class D Note without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. Each Holder of a Class A-1 Note or a Class D Note desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Seller against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with federal and state securities laws.

     (b) The Class D Notes 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 or (iii) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan’s investment in the entity (each, a “Benefit Plan”). By accepting and holding a Class D Note, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.

     (c) Subject to the restrictions set for in the Trust Agreement, a Holder of Class D Notes may sell, transfer and assign its Class D Notes; provided, that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such transfer will not cause the Issuer to be characterized as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or Michigan income and single business tax purposes. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Trust Agreement, compliance with the proviso of the preceding sentence shall be a condition to the consummation of the transaction referred to above.

     (d) The Class D Notes may be transferred only in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.04(g) of the Trust Agreement. Nothwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to Section 2.04(e) below, no Class D Note shall be transferred without a simultaneous transfer of an identical Percentage Interest of Certificates to the same transferee. Any purported transfer of a Class D Note without such simultaneous transfer of Certificates will be null and void ab initio. The Note Registrar and the Certificates Registrar shall maintain records with respect to ownership and transfers of the Class D Notes identical in all respect to the records maintained with respect to the Certificates.

15

     (e) The preceding Section 2.04(d) shall not apply if the Holder of a Class D Note shall have (at its sole expense) supplied the Indenture Trustee with an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel to the effect that a transfer of a Class D Note that is not in accordance with the preceding Section 2.04(d) would not cause the Issuer to be treated as an corporation or an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

     (f) The Owner Trustee shall cause each Class A-1 Note and each Class D Note to contain a legend stating that transfer of the Class A-1 Notes and Class D Notes is subject to certain restrictions and referring prospective purchasers of the Class A-1 Notes and the Class D Notes to this Section 2.04 with respect to such restrictions.

     SECTION 2.05. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee initially shall be the “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar.

     If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.

     At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The Indenture Trustee shall be permitted to request such evidence reasonably satisfactory to it documenting the identity and/or signature of the transferor and the transferee.

16

     All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

     No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.03 or 9.06 not involving any transfer.

     The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Note.

     SECTION 2.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Sections 8-405 and 8-406 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Class; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

     Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

     Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time

17

enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

     The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

     SECTION 2.07. Persons Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on, and any other amount owing in respect of, such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     SECTION 2.08. Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest. (a) The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2a Notes, the Class A-2b Notes, the Class A-3a Notes, the Class A-3b Notes, the Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes shall accrue interest at the Class A-1 Interest Rate, the Class A-2a Interest Rate, the Class A-2b Interest Rate, the Class A-3a Interest Rate, the Class A-3b Interest Rate, the Class A-4 Interest Rate, the Class B Interest Rate and the Class C Interest Rate, respectively, as set forth in Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2a, Exhibit A-2b, Exhibit A-3a, Exhibit A-3b, Exhibit A-4, Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively, and such interest shall be payable on each Payment Date as specified therein, subject to Section 3.01. Interest on each Class of Notes, other than the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2b Notes and the Class A-3b Notes, will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the Class A-1 Notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the Class A-1 Interest Accrual Period divided by 360. Interest on the Class A-2b Notes and the Class A-3b Notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the Floating Rate Interest Accrual Period divided by 360. Any installment of interest or principal payable on a Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date by check mailed first-class postage prepaid to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.13, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee, and except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date or on the applicable class final scheduled Payment Date (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.01) which shall be payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03.

     (b) The principal of each Senior Note shall be payable in installments on each Payment Date as provided in the forms of the Senior Notes set forth in Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2a, Exhibit A-2b, Exhibit A-3a, Exhibit A-3b, Exhibit A-4, Exhibit B and Exhibit C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and

18

payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Indenture Trustee or Holders of the Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02. All principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.02.

     (c) If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable Interest Rate in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay such defaulted interest to the persons who are Noteholders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date, and, at least 15 days before any such special record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

     (d) The Class D Notes shall be entitled to receive the Class D Payment Amount on each Payment Date or Redemption Date, as provided in the form of the Class D Notes set forth in Exhibit D. All distributions of the Class D Payment Amount shall be made pro rata to the Holders of Class D Notes entitled thereto. Payments of the Class D Payment Amount on the Class D Notes are subordinated to the payment of the interest, principal and any premium owed on the Senior Notes as provided herein. The failure to pay the Class D Payment Amount on the Class D Final Scheduled Payment Date shall be an Event of Default under Section 5.01(ii) of this Indenture.

     SECTION 2.09. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

     SECTION 2.10. Release of Collateral. Subject to Section 11.01 and the terms of the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture

19

only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA §§ 314(c) and 314(d)(1) or an Opinion of Counsel in lieu of such Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does not require any such Independent Certificates.

     SECTION 2.11. Book-Entry Notes; Certificated Notes. (a) (A) The Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2a Notes, Class A-2b Notes, Class A-3a Notes, Class A-3b Notes and Class A-4 Notes, upon original issuance, will and (B) Class B Notes and Class C Notes, at the option of the Issuer (or if requested by a transferee thereof) may, be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. The Book-Entry Notes shall be registered initially on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Owner thereof will receive a definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.13. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2a Notes, Class A-2b Notes, Class A-3a Notes, Class A-3b Notes and Class A-4 Notes and, in case Class B Notes and/or Class C Notes have been issued as Book-Entry Notes, the Class B Notes and/or Class C Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.13:

          (i) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;

          (ii) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole holder of the Book-Entry Notes and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners;

          (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall control;

          (iv) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.13, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

          (v) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

     (b) Upon original issuance, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes will be issued in the form of definitive, fully registered notes without coupons (each, a

20

“Certificated Note”) which shall be registered in the name of the beneficial owner or a nominee thereof, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Indenture Trustee; provided that the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes may be issued in the form of Book-Entry Notes pursuant to Section 2.11(a), in which case the Issuer shall cooperate with any prospective transferee to enable the relevant transfer to be exempted under Rule 144A or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act and to obtain any necessary securities identifiers (including CUSIPs) for such Class B Notes and Class C Notes.

     SECTION 2.12. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, (a) with respect to the Book-Entry Notes, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.13, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to such Note Owners and (b) with respect to the Certificated Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communication to the Person in whose name such Certificated Note is registered.

     SECTION 2.13. Definitive Notes. If (i) the Administrator advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Notes and the Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Administrator at its option advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, Owners of the Book-Entry Notes representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of such Notes advise the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of such Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

     SECTION 2.14. Tax Treatment. The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Senior Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for all purposes including federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Senior Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Senior Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the Senior Notes for all purposes including federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer. With respect to the Class D Notes, it is the intention of the parties hereto that, solely for income and franchise tax purposes, (i) so long as there is a sole Holder of Class D Notes, the Issuer shall be treated as a security arrangement, with the assets of the Issuer being the Receivables and other assets held by the Issuer, the owner of the Receivables being the

21

sole Holder of Class D Notes and the Senior Notes being non-recourse debt of the sole Holder of Class D Notes and (ii) if there is more than one Holder of Class D Notes, the Issuer shall be treated as a partnership for income and franchise tax purposes, with the assets of the partnership being the Receivables and other assets held by the Issuer, the partners of the partnership being the Holders of Class D Notes and the Senior being debt of the partnership.

     SECTION 2.15. Representations and Warranties as to the Security Interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables. The Issuer makes the following representations and warranties to the Indenture Trustee. The representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Indenture and as of the Closing Date, and shall survive the sale of the Trust Estate to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture.

     (a) This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

     (b) The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of the UCC.

     (c) The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

     (d) The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder.

     (e) Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated. The Issuer is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against it.

     (f) The Servicer as custodian for the Issuer has in its possession all original copies of the contracts that constitute or evidence the Receivables. The contracts that constitute or evidence the Receivables do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.

     SECTION 3.01. Payment of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts. The Issuer will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest, if any, on, and any other amount owing in respect of, the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 8.02(c), the Issuer will cause to be distributed all amounts on deposit in the Deposit Account (including any subaccount thereof) and allocated for distribution to the Noteholders on a Payment Date pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement (i) for the benefit of the Class A-1 Notes, to the Class A-1 Noteholders, (ii) for the benefit of the Class A-2a Notes, to the Class A-2a Noteholders, (iii) for the benefit of the Class A-2b Notes, to the Class A-2b Noteholders, (iv) for the benefit of the Class A-3a Notes, to the Class A-3a Noteholders, (v) for the benefit of the Class A-3b Notes, to the Class A-3b Noteholders, (vi) for the benefit of the Class A-4 Notes, to the Class A-4 Noteholders, (vii) for the benefit of the Class B Notes, to the Class B Noteholders, (viii) for the benefit of the Class C Notes, to the Class C Noteholders and (ix) for the benefit of the Class D Notes, to the Class D Noteholders. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal or any other amount shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

     SECTION 3.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

     SECTION 3.03. Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust. As provided in Section 8.02(a) and (b), all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Deposit Account pursuant to Section 8.02(c) shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the Deposit Account for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer except as provided in this Section.

     On or before the Business Day preceding each Payment Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall allocate or cause to be allocated in the Deposit Account for distribution to the Noteholders an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless the Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

23

     The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

          (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

          (ii) give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;

          (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

          (iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

          (v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

     The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

     Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense and

24

direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

     SECTION 3.04. Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

     SECTION 3.05. Protection of Trust Estate. The Issuer will from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:

          (i) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) of this Indenture or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

          (ii) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture;

          (iii) enforce any of the Collateral; or

          (iv) preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in such Trust Estate against the claims of all persons and parties.

The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required to be executed pursuant to this Section 3.05.

     SECTION 3.06. Opinions as to Trust Estate. (a) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as are necessary to perfect and make effective the lien and security interest of this Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and security interest effective.

     (b) On or before March 31, in each calendar year, beginning in 2008, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and with

25

respect to the filing of any financing statements and continuation statements as is necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by this Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture until March 31 in the following calendar year.

     SECTION 3.07. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables. (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person’s material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.

     (b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

     (c) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the Basic Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate, including but not limited to filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Basic Document or any provision thereof without the consent of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

     (d) If the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Default under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking with respect to such default. If a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Receivables, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.

     (e) As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall appoint a successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer. The Indenture

26

Trustee may resign as the Servicer by giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuer and in such event will be released from such duties and obligations, such release not to be effective until the date a new servicer enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer as provided below. Upon delivery of any such notice to the Issuer, the Issuer shall obtain a new servicer as the Successor Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Any Successor Servicer other than the Indenture Trustee shall (i) be an established financial institution having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of Contracts and (ii) enter into a servicing agreement with the Issuer having substantially the same provisions as the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement applicable to the Servicer. If within 30 days after the delivery of the notice referred to above, the Issuer shall not have obtained such a new servicer, the Indenture Trustee may appoint, or may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Successor Servicer. In connection with any such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as it and such successor shall agree, subject to the limitations set forth below and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall enter into an agreement with such successor for the servicing of the Receivables (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the Servicer’s duties as servicer of the Receivables as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI hereof shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Servicer and the servicing of the Receivables. In case the Indenture Trustee shall become successor to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Servicer any one of its affiliates, provided that it shall be fully liable for the actions and omissions of such affiliate in such capacity as Successor Servicer.

     (f) Upon any termination of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee. As soon as a Successor Servicer is appointed, the Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.

     (g) Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the rights of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer agrees (i) that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes, amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate or surrender, or agree to any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any Collateral (except to the extent otherwise provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement) or the Basic Documents, or waive timely performance or observance by the Servicer or the Seller under the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and (ii) that any such amendment shall not (A) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (B) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes that is required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all the Outstanding Notes. If any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be so consented to by the Indenture Trustee or such Holders, the Issuer agrees, promptly following a request by the Indenture Trustee to do so, to execute and deliver, in its own name and at its own expense, such agreements, instruments, consents and other documents as the Indenture Trustee may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.

27

     SECTION 3.08. Negative Covenants. So long as any Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer shall not:

          (i) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, the Purchase Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the properties or assets of the Issuer, including those included in the Trust Estate, unless directed to do so by the Indenture Trustee;

          (ii) claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the principal or interest or any other amount payable in respect of, the Notes (other than amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code) or assert any claim against any present or former Noteholder by reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon any part of the Trust Estate;

          (iii) dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part; or

          (iv) (A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien of this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to the Notes under this Indenture except as may be expressly permitted hereby, (B) permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien of this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof (other than tax liens, mechanics’ liens and other liens that arise by operation of law, in each case on any of the Financed Vehicles and arising solely as a result of an action or omission of the related Obligor) or (C) permit the lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority (other than with respect to any such tax, mechanics’ or other lien) security interest in the Trust Estate.

     SECTION 3.09. Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Issuer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer (commencing with the fiscal year 2007), an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to the Authorized Officer signing such Officer’s Certificate, that:

          (i) a review of the activities of the Issuer during such year and of its performance under this Indenture has been made under such Authorized Officer’s supervision; and

          (ii) to the best of such Authorized Officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Issuer has complied with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture throughout such year or, if there has been a default in its compliance with any such condition or covenant, specifying each such default known to such Authorized Officer and the nature and status thereof.

          (A) either:

               (1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.06 and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 3.03) have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation; or

               (2) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation:

          a. have become due and payable,

32

          b. will become due and payable at the Class D Final Scheduled Date within one year, or

          c. are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Indenture Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer,

and the Issuer, in the case of a., b. or c. above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Indenture Trustee cash or direct obligations of or obligations guaranteed by the United States of America (which will mature prior to the date such amounts are payable), in trust for such purpose, in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation when due to the applicable final scheduled Payment Date or Redemption Date (if Notes shall have been called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.01), as the case may be;

          (B) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer; and

          (C) the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the TIA or the Indenture Trustee) an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public accountants, each meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.01(a) and, subject to Section 11.02, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

The Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Noteholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Indenture Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings).

          (i) default in the payment of any interest on the Controlling Class when the same becomes due and payable, and such default shall continue for a period of five days or more;

          (ii) default in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable; or

          (iii) default in the observance or performance of any covenant or agreement of the Issuer made in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement, a default in the observance or performance of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), or any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith proving to have been incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made, and such default shall continue or not be cured, or the circumstance or condition in respect of which such misrepresentation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured, for a period of 30 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, a written notice specifying such default or incorrect representation or warranty and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a notice of Default hereunder; or

          (v) the commencement by the Issuer of a voluntary case under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or the consent by the Issuer to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or the consent by the Issuer to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or for any substantial part of the Trust Estate, or the making by the Issuer of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure by the Issuer generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of any action by the Issuer in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, within five days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (iii), its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

     SECTION 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class may declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

     At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

          (i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

               (A) all payments of principal of and interest on all Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and

               (B) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

          (ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

     SECTION 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee. (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) there is an Event of Default relating to the payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues

35

for a period of five days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, on overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the related Notes and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

     (b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

     (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Secured Parties, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

     (d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, or liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

          (i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings;

36

          (ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

          (iii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and

          (iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

     (e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

     (f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

     (g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.

     SECTION 5.04. Remedies; Priorities. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05):

          (i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect

37

thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes moneys adjudged due;

          (ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;

          (iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes; and

          (iv) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(i) or (ii) with respect to the Controlling Class, unless (A) the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Senior Notes consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Senior Notes for principal and interest or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Senior Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Holders of 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and 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) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

          FIRST: first, to the Indenture Trustee for any amounts due under Section 6.07 and then to the Servicer for any due and unpaid Servicing Fee;

          SECOND: to the Hedge Counterparty, an amount equal to the net scheduled periodic payments, if any, then due under the Hedges,

          FOURTH: to the Class B Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Class B Notes for interest (including premium), ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Class B Notes for interest

38

(including premium); provided that if payment of the Notes has been accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause (i), (ii), (iv) or (v) of Section 5.01, then the payments due to the Class B Noteholders pursuant to this clause FOURTH shall instead be made only after the Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes has been reduced to zero pursuant to clause (d) in clause SIXTH below;

          FIFTH: to the Class C Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Class C Notes for interest (including premium), ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Class C Notes for interest (including premium); provided that if payment of the Notes has been accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause (i), (ii), (iv) or (v) of Section 5.01, then the payments due to the Class C Noteholders pursuant to this clause FIFTH shall instead be made only after the Outstanding Amount of the Class B Notes has been reduced to zero pursuant to clause (e) in clause SIXTH below;

          SIXTH: to the Noteholders in the following order of priority:

          (a) to Holders of the Class A-1 Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Class A-1 Notes for principal, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Class A-1 Notes for principal, until the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1 Notes is reduced to zero;

          (b) to Holders of the Class A-2a Notes and the Class A-2b Notes, pro rata for amounts due and unpaid on the Class A-2a Notes and the Class A-2b Notes for principal, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Class A-2a Notes and the Class A-2b Notes for principal, until the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-2a Notes and the Class A-2b Notes is reduced to zero;

          (c) to Holders of the Class A-3a Notes and the Class A-3b Notes, pro rata for amounts due and unpaid on the Class A-3a Notes and the Class A-3b Notes for principal, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Class A-3a Notes and the Class A-3b Notes for principal, until the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-32a Notes and the Class A-3b Notes is reduced to zero;

          (d) to Holders of the Class A-4 Notes, for amounts due and unpaid on the Class A-4 Notes for principal, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Class A-4 Notes for principal, until the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-4 Notes is reduced to zero;

          (f) to Holders of the Class C Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Class C Notes for principal, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to

          SEVENTH: to the Hedge Counterparty, an amount equal to the Subordinated Termination Payments, if any, then due under the Hedges; and

The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

     SECTION 5.05. Optional Preservation of the Receivables. If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and 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.

     SECTION 5.06. Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

          (i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

          (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the 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;

          (iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

          (iv) the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and

          (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

40

It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever 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, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee 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 by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

     SECTION 5.11. Control by Controlling Class. The Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall have the right to direct the time, method and

41

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:

          (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

          (ii) 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;

          (iii) 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 direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

          (iv) 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 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 which 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.

     SECTION 5.13. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of a Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the

42

provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

     SECTION 5.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

     SECTION 5.15. Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b).

     SECTION 5.16. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations. (a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Administrator’s expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or by the Seller or the Company, as applicable, of each of their obligations under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the Holders of 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or against the Company or the Seller under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer, or the Company or the Seller, as the case may be, of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or

43

waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

ARTICLE VI

The Indenture Trustee

     SECTION 6.01. Duties of Indenture Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 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.

     (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

          (i) 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; and

          (ii) in the absence of bad faith 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 certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

     (c) 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 (b) of this Section;

          (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

44

     (g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if 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.

     (h) 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.

     SECTION 6.02. Rights of Indenture Trustee. (a) The Indenture Trustee may rely on 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. 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.

     (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, or for the supervision of, any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.

     (d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which 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.

     (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any and all communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Indenture Trustee that the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion deems to contain confidential, proprietary, and/or sensitive information and sent by electronic mail will be encrypted. The recipient of the email communication will be required to complete a one-time registration process. Information and assistance on registering and using the email encryption technology can be found at the Indenture Trustee’s Secure website www.citigroup.com/citigroup/citizen/privacy/email.htm or by calling (866) 535-2504 (in the U.S.) or (904) 954-6181 at any time.

     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

45

the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.

     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 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 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 known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within 90 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 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 of Senior Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall deliver such information that is either required by applicable law or is requested in writing by a Noteholder of Senior Notes in order to enable such Noteholder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns.

     SECTION 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to, pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services pursuant to a fee agreement between the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to, reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to, indemnify and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents against any and all loss, liability, tax (other than taxes based on the income of the Indenture Trustee) or expense (including attorneys’ fees) of whatever kind or nature regardless of their merit directly or indirectly incurred by it or them without willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties under this Indenture or under any of the other Basic Documents. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer or the Administrator of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator 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 Administrator need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability

46

or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

     The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. 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. The Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

          (i) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

          (ii) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;

          (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property; or

          (iv) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

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 to 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 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.

     If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 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 Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

     If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

47

     Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s and the Administrator’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring 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 otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies prior written notice of any such transaction.

     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 which 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 hereof, 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.

     (b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

          (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such

48

jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

          (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.

     (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

In the event the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with the terms of the preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee shall comply with clauses (ii) and (iii) of TIA Section 310(b).

     (c) In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to any Class of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.11, the Issuer, the retiring Indenture Trustee and the successor Indenture Trustee with respect to such Class of Notes shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Indenture Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, the successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of the Class to which the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Classes of Notes, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of each Class as to which the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the Indenture Trustee and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Indenture Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Indenture Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Indenture Trustee shall be a trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Indenture Trustee; and upon the removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided herein.

     SECTION 6.12. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). An Indenture Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture.

     (b) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes Outstanding and all sums due the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate that secured the Notes from the lien of this Indenture and release to the Issuer or any other Person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the Deposit Account. The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 8.04(b) only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA §§ 314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.01.

     SECTION 8.05. Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall receive at least seven days’ notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action pursuant to Section 8.04(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall also require, except in connection with any action contemplated by Section 8.04(c), as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Trust Estate. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action.

56

     SECTION 9.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and with the consent of the Hedge Counterparty and the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, by Act of such Holders delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby:

          (i) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the Interest Rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provisions of this Indenture relating to the application of collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Trust Estate to payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V, to the payment of any such amount due on the Notes on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);

          (vi) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or principal due on any Note on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect the rights of the Holders of Notes to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Notes contained herein; or

          (vii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or

contemplated herein, terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture.

The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

     It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

     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 failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

     Prior to the payment in full of the Senior Notes, this Indenture may be amended upon the request of any Holder of Class D Notes to permit the transfer of the Class D Notes other than in accordance with Section 2.04(d), which amendment may include the addition or deletion of any provisions appropriate thereto; provided that the requesting Holder of Class D Notes shall have (at its sole expense) supplied the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with an opinion of nationally recognized counsel to the effect that the execution of such amendment will not result in the recognition by any Holder of a Senior Note of a “taxable event” within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code or adversely affect any rights or remedies of any Holder of a Senior Note.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 9.02 and 9.03, no amendment, indenture or supplemental indenture hereto shall be effective in the event that such amendment, indenture or supplemental indenture materially and adversely effects the Hedge Counterparty and the Hedge Counterparty’s prior written consent shall not have been obtained.

     SECTION 9.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

58

immunities under this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

     SECTION 11.02. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

     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, the Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the 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

62

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.

     (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.

     (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

     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:

          (i) 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

          (ii) 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: DaimlerChrysler Auto Trust 2007-A, in care of The Bank of New York, (Delaware), White Clay Center, Route 273, Newark, Delaware 19711, Attention: DaimlerChrysler Auto Trust 2007-A, with a copy to The Bank of New York, 101 Barclay Street,

63

8W, New York, New York 10286, Attention: Asset Backed Securities Unit, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the Administrator; with a copy to the Administrator addressed to: DaimlerChrysler Financial Services Americas LLC 27777 Inkster Road, Farmington Hills, Michigan 48334, Attention: Assistant Secretary, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by 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 Standard & Poor’s, via electronic delivery to Servicer_reports@sandp.com, and for any information not available in electronic format, at the following address: Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., to 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10004, Attention of Asset Backed Surveillance Department; (ii) in the case of Moody’s, at the following address: Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., 25^th Floor, 7 World Trade Center, 280 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10007, Attention: ABS/RMBS Monitoring Department and (iii) in the case of Fitch, at the following address: Fitch, Inc., One State Street Plaza, Attention: Auto ABS Group, New York, New York 10004; 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.

     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.

     In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

     Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default.

64

     SECTION 11.06. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

     SECTION 11.07. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

     The provisions of TIA §§ 310 through 317 that impose duties on any person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

     SECTION 11.08. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

     SECTION 11.10. Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     SECTION 11.11. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties, and the Noteholders, and any other Secured Parties hereto and their successors hereunder and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

     SECTION 11.12. Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

     SECTION 11.13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE, THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS INDENTURE AND ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS INDENTURE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS INDENTURE (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY), INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND

65

PERFORMANCE, SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISION THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION).

     SECTION 11.14. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

     SECTION 11.15. Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

The Indenture Trustee shall, and shall cause its representatives to, hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.

     SECTION 11.19. Subordination Agreement. Each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenants and agrees that, to the extent it is deemed to have any interest in any assets of the Seller or the Depositor, or a securitization vehicle (other than the Trust) related to the Seller or the Depositor, dedicated to other debt obligations of the Seller or the Depositor or debt obligations of any other securitization vehicle (other than the Trust) related to the Seller or the Depositor, its interest in those assets is subordinate to claims or rights of such other debtholders to those other assets.

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class C 6.25% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class C Notes”), all issued under the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Class C Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

     Subject to the subordination provisions of the Indenture, the Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

     Principal of the Class C Notes will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Payment Date” means the eighth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing December 10, 2007.

     As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Class C Final Scheduled Payment Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class C Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class C Noteholders entitled thereto.

     Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Registered Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such Payment Date, and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in The City of New York.

No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

     Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

     Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Seller or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic Documents.

     The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Senior Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), agrees to treat the Senior Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness.

     Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this

5

Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

     The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

     The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

     The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

     This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

     2. DTC, the world’s largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 2.2 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instrument from over 100 countries that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of Direct Participants of DTC and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Fixed Income Clearing Corporation and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation (NSCC, FICC, and EMCC, also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has Standard & Poor’s highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org.

     3. Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written

3

confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued.

     4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co. or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

     5. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to take certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of the notices be provided directly to them.]

     [6. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.]

     7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

     8. Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts, upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from Issuer or Agent on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to

4

Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer or Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

     [9. A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent’s DTC account.]

     10. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

     11. Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.

     12. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

5

Notes being debt of the partnership. The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Trust will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the Trust as provided in the preceding sentence for such tax purposes.

     SECTION 2.08. Title to Trust Property. Legal title to all the Owner 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 Owner 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 and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be.

     SECTION 2.09. 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 in any state other than Delaware; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or prohibit the Owner Trustee from having employees within or outside of 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 Delaware.

     SECTION 2.10. Representations and Warranties of Depositor. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee that:

     (i) The Depositor is duly organized and validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Michigan, 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.

     (ii) The Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business shall require such qualifications.

     (iii) The Depositor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms; the Depositor has full power and authority to sell and assign the property to be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Trust and the Depositor has duly authorized such sale and assignment and deposit to the Trust by all necessary corporate action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary action of a limited liability company.

ARTICLE III

Certificates and Transfer of Interests

     SECTION 3.01. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by DCRR as described in Section 2.05 and until the issuance of the Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust.

     SECTION 3.02. The Certificates. The Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of a one percent Percentage Interest in the Trust. The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificates.

     A transferee of a 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 Certificate duly registered in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.04.

     SECTION 3.03. Authentication of Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificates in an aggregate Percentage Interest equal to 100% to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the

7

Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board, its president, any vice president, secretary or any assistant treasurer, without further corporate action by the Depositor, in the authorized denominations. No Certificate shall entitle its Owner to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the Trust’s authenticating agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

     SECTION 3.04. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of the Certificates; Limitations on Transfer. (a) The Trust shall cause to be kept a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trust shall provide for the registration of Certificates and the registration of transfers of Certificates. The Trust hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee to be the initial “Certificate Registrar” for the purpose of the registration of the Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Certificate Registrar, the Trust shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Certificate Registrar.

     (b) The Certificates have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and will not be listed on any exchange. No transfer of a Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state securities laws. Except in the case of transfers made on the Closing Date to the Company or any of its affiliates (including Chrysler Residual Depositor LLC and Chrysler Retail Residual Trust (or Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as indenture trustee therefor)) (the “Residual Transfers”), in the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and state securities laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Owner desiring to effect such transfer and such Owner’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit C (the “Transferor Certificate”) and either Exhibit D (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit E (the “Rule 144A Letter”). Except in the case of (i) Residual Transfers or (ii) a transfer as to which the proposed transferee has provided a Rule 144A Letter, there shall also be delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act and state securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust or the Owner Trustee; provided that such Opinion of Counsel in respect of the applicable state securities laws may be a memorandum of law rather than an opinion if such counsel is not licensed in the applicable jurisdiction. The Depositor shall provide to any Owner of a Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Owner, information regarding the Certificates and the Receivables and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Owner of a Certificate desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust, the Owner Trustee, and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with federal and state securities laws. The Owner Trustee

8

or the Certificate Registrar shall cause each Certificate to contain a legend in the form set forth on the form of Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A.

     (c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08 and subject to the satisfaction of the preceding paragraph, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause the Indenture Trustee as the Trust’s authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of like tenor and in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Percentage Interest dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent; provided that prior to such execution, authentication and delivery, the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the proposed transfer will not cause the Trust to be characterized as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation or alter the tax characterization of the Senior Notes for federal income tax purposes or Michigan income and single business tax purposes. At the option of an Owner, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of like tenor and of authorized denominations of a like aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08.

     (d) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Owner or such Owner’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice.

     (e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of 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 Certificates.

     (f) The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall not make, and the Certificate Registrar shall not register transfers or exchanges of, Certificates for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Certificates.

     (g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to Section 3.04(h) below, no Certificate shall be transferred without a simultaneous transfer of an identical Percentage Interest of the Class D Notes to the same transferee. Any purported transfer of a Certificate without such simultaneous transfer of Class D Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be null and void ab initio. The Notes Registrar and the Certificate Registrar shall maintain records with respect to ownership and transfers of the Class D Notes identical in all respect to the records maintained with respect to the Certificates.

     (h) The preceding Section 3.04(g) shall not apply if the Owner of a Certificate shall have (at its sole expense) supplied the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar with an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel to the effect that a transfer of a Certificate that is

9

not in accordance with the preceding Section 3.04(g) would not cause the Trust to be treated as a corporation or an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

     SECTION 3.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee, as the Owner Trustee’s authenticating agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new 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 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 Certificate shall be found at any time.

     SECTION 3.06. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

     SECTION 3.07. Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer and the Depositor, within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a written request therefor from the Servicer 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. If a Certificateholder applies in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such application states that the applicant desires to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicant access during normal business hours to the current list of Certificateholders. Each Owner, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Depositor, the Company or the Certificate Registrar accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

     SECTION 3.08. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Owner Trustee shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served. The Trust initially designates the Certificate Registrar, as its office for such purposes. The Trust shall give prompt written notice to the Company and to the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

10

     SECTION 3.09. Definitive Certificates. The Certificates, upon original issuance, will be issued in definitive, fully registered form.

     SECTION 4.02. Action by Owners with Respect to Certain Matters.

     SECTION 4.04. Restrictions on Owners’ Power. The Owners shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take or to refrain from taking any action if such action or inaction would be contrary to any obligation of the Trust or the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.03, nor shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction, if given.

     SECTION 4.05. Majority Control. Except as expressly provided herein, any action that may be taken by the Owners of the Certificates may be taken by Owners of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates.

In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized, but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required of the Trust pursuant to the Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee is further authorized from time to time to take such action as the Administrator recommends with respect to the Basic Documents.

     SECTION 6.02. General Duties. It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Basic Documents to which the Trust is a party and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Owners, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Basic Documents to the extent the 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.

     SECTION 6.03. Action upon Instruction. (a) Subject to Article IV and in accordance with the terms of the Basic Documents, the Owners may by written instruction direct

13

the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the Owners pursuant to Article IV.

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

     (c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or under any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Owners requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Owners received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Owners, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

     (d) In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Owners requesting instruction and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such action or inaction, to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Owners, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

14

     SECTION 6.04. No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Owner Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.03; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any Basic Document against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any Securities and Exchange Commission filing for the Trust or to record this Agreement or any Basic Document. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens on any part of the Owner Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Owner Trust Estate.

     SECTION 6.05. No Action Except Under Specified Documents or Instructions.

     SECTION 6.06. Restrictions.

ARTICLE X

Successor Owner Trustees and Additional Owner Trustees

     SECTION 10.01. Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a corporation satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute; authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities; and having (or having a parent that has) time deposits that are rated at least “F1” by Fitch, “A-1” by Standard & Poor’s and “P-1” by Moody’s or otherwise be acceptable to the Rating Agencies. If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.02.

     SECTION 10.02. Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Administrator. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.

     If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.01 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Administrator, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Administrator may remove the Owner Trustee. If the Administrator shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee, and shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

20

     Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

     SECTION 10.03. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

     No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice thereof to all Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Administrator shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of such appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Administrator.

     SECTION 10.04. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any Person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, that such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01 and, provided, further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies; provided, however, that in no event shall any such Person become the successor Owner Trustee hereunder until the Trust shall have received all such licenses, consents or approvals (or amendments or endorsements thereto) relating to the change in Owner Trustee that are required under the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Sales Finance Act and the Annotated Code of Maryland Financial Institutions § 11-403 in connection with the operation of the Trust.

     SECTION 10.05. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate or any Financed

21

Vehicle may at the time be located, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Administrator and Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or as separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust or any part thereof and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.03.

     Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

     (a) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Owner Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

     (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

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

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

     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,

22

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.

Miscellaneous

     SECTION 11.01. Supplements and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by the Depositor, the Company and the Owner Trustee, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or Certificateholder.

     This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Company and the Owner Trustee, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, with the consent of the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the consent of the Owners of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the Receivables or distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or of the Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all the outstanding Notes and the Owners of the Certificates.

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

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders or Noteholders pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Certificateholders provided for in this Agreement or in any other Basic Document) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Owner Trustee may prescribe.

     Promptly after the execution of any amendment to the Certificate of Trust, the Owner Trustee shall cause the filing of such amendment with the Secretary of State.

     Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or the Certificate of Trust, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the

     Prior to the payment in full of the Senior Notes, this Agreement may be amended upon the request of any Certificateholder to permit the transfer of the Certificates other than in accordance with Section 3.04(g), which amendment may include the addition or deletion of any provisions appropriate thereto; provided that the requesting Certificateholder shall have (at its sole expense) supplied the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with an opinion of nationally recognized counsel to the effect that the execution of such amendment will not result in the recognition by any Holder of a Senior Note of a “taxable event” within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code or adversely affect any rights or remedies of any Holder of a Senior Note.

     SECTION 11.02. No Legal Title to Owner Trust Estate in Owners. The Owners shall not have legal title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate.

Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     SECTION 11.06. Separate Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

     SECTION 11.09. No Recourse. Each Certificateholder by accepting a Certificate acknowledges that such Certificateholder’s Certificates represent beneficial interests in the Trust only and do not represent interests in or obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Company, DCRR, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated in this Agreement, the Certificates or the Basic Documents.

A-1

     The Trust was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of November 1, 2006, as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated as of November 1, 2007 (as so amended and restated and further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Trust Agreement”), among the Depositor, DCRR and The Bank of New York (Delaware), as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 1, 2007 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”), between the Trust and the Depositor, as seller and as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), as applicable.

     This Certificate is one of the duly authorized class of certificates (herein called the “Certificates”).

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

     Except as provided in the Trust Agreement, the Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates. As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as requested by the Owner surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

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

     The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the disposition of all property held as part of the Owner Trust

Estate. The Servicer of the Receivables may at its option purchase the Owner Trust Estate at a price specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and such purchase of the Receivables and other property of the Trust will effect early retirement of the Certificates; provided, however, such right of purchase is exercisable only as of the last day of any Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the Original Pool Balance.

     The Certificates may not be acquired by (a) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or (c) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan’s investment in the entity or which uses plan assets to acquire the Certificates (each, a “Benefit Plan”). By accepting and holding this Certificate, the Owner hereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.

The Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions.

If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Issuer (in the case of a Receivable other than a Purchased Receivable) shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection, such Receivable to the Servicer. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Owner Trustee shall, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders. The Owner Trustee shall upon the written request of the Servicer furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

The Servicer may in its discretion waive any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Standard Receivable or Fixed Value Receivable.

On behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer shall have determined eventual payment in full is unlikely. The Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of automotive receivables, which may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers and selling the Financed Vehicle at public or private sale. The foregoing shall be subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have

25

suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.

     Section 4.06 Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer shall not release the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except in the event of payment in full by the Obligor thereunder or repossession, nor shall the Servicer impair the rights of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders in such Receivable, nor shall the Servicer increase the number of scheduled payments due under a Standard Receivable or Fixed Value Receivable.

     Section 4.07 Purchase of Receivables upon Breach. The Servicer or the Owner Trustee shall inform the other party and the Indenture Trustee and the Seller promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach pursuant to Section 4.02, 4.05 or 4.06. Unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following such discovery (or, at the Servicer’s election, the last day of the first following Collection Period), the Servicer shall purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach as of such last day. If the Servicer takes any action during any Collection Period pursuant to Section 4.02 that impairs the rights of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders in any Receivable or as otherwise provided in Section 4.02, the Servicer shall purchase such Receivable as of the last day of such Collection Period.

Such report shall be signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer and shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of Appendix B hereto delivered to the Seller concurrently with the execution of this Agreement. To the extent any of the Servicing Criteria are not applicable to the Servicer, with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Servicer that are backed by the same asset type as the Receivables, such report shall include such a statement to that effect. The Seller, the Servicer and each of their respective officers and directors shall be entitled to rely on each such servicing criteria assessment.

     The Indenture Trustee, upon the written request of the Rating Agencies, shall send a copy of such certificate, such assessment and the report referred to in Section 4.11 to the Rating Agencies.

     (d) In the event the Servicer, any subservicer or Reporting Subcontractor is terminated or resigns during the term of this Agreement, such Person shall provide the documents and information pursuant to this Section 4.10 and Section 4.11 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or provided services with respect to the Issuer or the Receivables. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Servicer has exercised commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any assessment or attestation required hereunder from a Reporting Subcontractor, the failure by the Reporting Subcontractor to provide such attestation on or assessment shall not constitute a breach hereunder by the Servicer.

The Servicer shall provide to the Certificateholders and Noteholders access to the Receivable Files in such cases where the Certificateholders or Noteholders shall be required by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation. Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

     Section 5.01 Establishment of Deposit Account. (a) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparty, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Deposit Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparty. The Servicer shall establish the Note Principal Distribution Account and the Reserve Account as subaccounts that are part of the Deposit Account.

     (b) Funds on deposit in the Deposit Account shall be invested (1) by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Servicer or an investment manager selected by the Servicer or (2) by an investment manager in Eligible Investments selected by such investment manager; provided that (A) such investment manager shall be selected by the Servicer, (B) such investment manager shall have agreed to comply with the terms of this Agreement as it relates to investing such funds, (C) any investment so selected by such investment manager shall be made in the name of the Indenture Trustee and shall be settled by a Delivery to the Indenture Trustee that complies with the terms of this Agreement as it relates to investing such funds, and (D) prior to the settlement of any investment so selected by such investment manager the Indenture Trustee shall affirm that such investment is an Eligible Investment.

It is understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any loss arising from an investment in Eligible Investments made in accordance with this Section 5.01(b). All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparty, as applicable; provided, that on each Payment Determination Date all interest and other investment income (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Deposit Account (to the extent such interest and income is on deposit in the Deposit Account at the end of the related Collection Period) shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Total Distribution Amount for the related Payment Date. Other than as permitted by the Rating Agencies, funds on deposit in the Deposit Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature on or before the next Payment Date.

29

     (c) (i) The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Deposit Account and in all proceeds thereof (including all income thereon) and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Trust Estate. The Deposit Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparty, as applicable. If, at any time, the Deposit Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Deposit Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Deposit Account.

     (ii) With respect to the Trust Account Property, the Indenture Trustee agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that:

     (A) any Trust Account Property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in the Eligible Deposit Accounts, subject to the last sentence of Section 5.01(c)(i); and each such Eligible Deposit Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

     (B) any Trust Account Property that constitutes Physical Property shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (a) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Indenture Trustee or a securities intermediary (as such term is defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) acting solely for the Indenture Trustee;

     (C) any Trust Account Property that is a book-entry security held through the Federal Reserve System pursuant to federal book-entry regulations shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (b) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued book-entry registration of such Trust Account Property as described in such paragraph; and

     (D) any Trust Account Property that is an “uncertificated security” under Article VIII of the UCC and that is not governed by clause (C) above shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (c) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued registration of the Indenture Trustee’s (or its nominee’s) ownership of such security.

     (ii) The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Deposit Account for the purpose of permitting the Servicer to carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.

     Section 5.02 Collections. Subject to the continued satisfaction of the commingling conditions described below, the Servicer shall remit to the Deposit Account all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors with respect to the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables and

30

not including Fixed Value Payments), all Liquidation Proceeds collected during the related Collection Period, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the related Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the commingling conditions ceases to be met, the Servicer shall remit to the Deposit Account all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors with respect to the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables and not including Fixed Value Payments) and all Liquidation Proceeds within two Business Days of receipt thereof. The commingling conditions are as follows: (i) DCFS must be the Servicer, (ii) no Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (iii) (x) DCFS must maintain a short-term rating of at least “A-1” by Standard & Poor’s, “P-1” by Moody’s and “F-1” by Fitch or (y) if daily remittances occur hereunder, prior to ceasing daily remittances, the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied (and any conditions or limitations imposed by the Rating Agencies in connection therewith are complied with). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as DCFS is the Servicer, DCFS may withhold from the deposit into the Deposit Account any amounts indicated on the related Servicer’s Certificate as being due and payable to DCFS or the Seller and pay such amounts directly to DCFS or the Seller, as applicable. For purposes of this Article V, the phrase “payments by or on behalf of Obligors” shall mean payments made with respect to the Receivables by Persons other than the Servicer or the Seller. In the event the commingling conditions cease to be met, the Servicer shall make daily remittance of collections to the Deposit Account within two Business Days of receipt thereof; provided, however, daily remittance may commence no later than five Business Days following a reduction of DCFS’s short-term ratings below “P-1” by Moody’s or “F1” by Fitch or “A-1” by Standard & Poor’s.

     Section 5.03 Application of Collections. (a) All collections for the Collection Period shall be applied by the Servicer as follows:

     With respect to each Receivable (other than a Purchased Receivable), payments by or on behalf of the Obligor shall be applied to interest and principal in accordance with the Simple Interest Method.

     (b) All collections of finance charges on a Fixed Value Receivable (as determined in accordance with the Servicer’s customary procedures) shall be applied, first, to the Amortizing Payment Finance Charges due and unpaid on the related Principal Balance and then to the Fixed Value Finance Charges due and unpaid on the related Fixed Value Payment. The Servicer shall release to the Holders of the Class D Notes the Collections allocated to Fixed Value Finance Charges pursuant to the preceding sentence. All Liquidation Proceeds with respect to any Fixed Value Receivable shall be applied first to the related Receivable and only after the payment in full of the Principal Balance thereof plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall any such Liquidation Proceeds be applied to, or constitute, the related Fixed Value Payment.

     Section 5.04 Additional Deposits. The Servicer and the Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Deposit Account the aggregate Purchase Amount with respect to Purchased Receivables and the Servicer shall deposit therein all amounts to be paid under Section 9.01. The Servicer will deposit the aggregate Purchase Amount with respect to Purchased Receivables when such obligations are due, unless the Servicer shall not be required to make daily deposits pursuant to Section 5.02. All such other deposits shall be made on the Payment Determination Date for the related Collection Period.

31

     Section 5.05 Distributions.

     (a) (i) On each Payment Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate all amounts required to be distributed to the Noteholders and Hedge Counterparty and all amounts to be allocated within the Deposit Account as described below. For purposes of this Section, the Servicing Fee for the related Payment Date and any previously unpaid Servicing Fees shall be deducted from the Total Distribution Amount at any time on or prior to the Payment Date. If the Total Distribution Amount during a Collection Period has reached a level which covers the payments due pursuant to clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H), (I) and (J) of Section 5.05(a)(ii), then for the remainder of the Collection Period the Servicer may net the amounts, if any, distributable pursuant to clause (J) of Section 5.05(a)(ii) out of the Total Distribution Amount before depositing the Total Distribution Amount into the Deposit Account and pay such amounts directly to the related recipient.

     (ii) Subject to Section 5.04(b) of the Indenture, on each Payment Date the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee (based on the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered on the related Payment Determination Date pursuant to Section 4.09) to distribute the following allocations and credits by 11:00 a.m. (New York time), to the extent of the Total Distribution Amount (net of the Servicing Fee for such Payment Date and any previously unpaid Servicing Fees and any amount payable pursuant to Section 5.05(a)(ii)(J) that has already been deducted pursuant to Section 5.05(a)(i)), in the following order of priority:

     (A) allocate to the Hedge Counterparty from such net Total Distribution Amount, an amount equal to the net scheduled periodic payments, if any, then due to them under the Hedges;

     (B) on a pro rata basis, from such net Total Distribution Amount remaining after the application of clause (A), (1) allocate to the Hedge Counterparty an amount equal to the termination payments, if any, excluding Subordinated Termination Payments, then due to them under the Hedges and (2) allocate to the Class A Noteholders for distribution pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Indenture an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid interest due on the Class A Notes on such Payment Date;

     (C) credit, from such net Total Distribution Amount remaining after the application of clauses (A) and (B), the First Priority Principal Distribution Amount to the Note Principal Distribution Account;

     (D) allocate to the Class B Noteholders for distribution pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Indenture, from such net Total Distribution Amount remaining after the application of clauses (A), (B) and (C), an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid interest due on the Class B Notes;

     (E) credit, from such net Total Distribution Amount remaining after the application of clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D), the Second Priority Principal Distribution Amount to the Note Principal Distribution Account;

     (G) credit, from such net Total Distribution Amount remaining after the application of clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F), the Third Priority Principal Distribution Amount to the Note Principal Distribution Account;

     (H) allocate to the Reserve Account, from such net Total Distribution Amount remaining after the application of clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) and (G), the amount required, if any, such that the amount therein is the Specified Reserve Amount;

     (I) credit, from such net Total Distribution Amount remaining after the application of clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G) and (H), an amount equal to (x) the Required Principal Distribution Amount minus (y) the sum of the First Priority Principal Distribution Amount, the Second Priority Principal Distribution Amount and the Third Priority Principal Distribution Amount to the Note Principal Distribution Account;

     (J) allocate to the Hedge Counterparty from such net Total Distribution Amount remaining after the application of clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H) and (I), an amount equal to the Subordinated Termination Payments, if any, then due to the Hedge Counterparty under the Hedges; and

     (K) allocate to the Holders of the Class D Notes such net Total Distribution Amount remaining after the application of clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H), (I) and (J).

For the avoidance of doubt, if payment of the Notes has been accelerated and such declaration of acceleration has not been rescinded in accordance with the Indenture, then such Total Distribution Amount shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b) of the Indenture.

     Notwithstanding that the Senior Notes have been paid in full, the Indenture Trustee shall continue to maintain the Deposit Account hereunder until the Class D Notes are retired.

     (b) On each Payment Date the amounts credited to the Note Principal Distribution Account shall be applied in accordance with Section 8.02(c)(v) of the Indenture.

     (b) [RESERVED]

     (c) (i) In the event that the Total Distribution Amount (after the payment of the Servicing Fee and any previously unpaid Servicing Fees) with respect to any Collection Period is

33

less than the accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes and any payments due to the Hedge Counterparty (excluding Hedge termination payments, if any) on a Payment Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the Reserve Account on such Payment Date an amount equal to such deficiency, to the extent of funds available therein, and allocate such amount for distribution to the Noteholders of Senior Notes and the Hedge Counterparty, as applicable.

     (ii) In the event that the amount allocated for distribution to the Noteholders pursuant to Sections 5.05(a)(ii)(C), (E), (G) and (I) is insufficient to make payments of principal on (A) the Class A-1 Notes so that the Outstanding Amount for the Class A-1 Notes equals zero on the Class A-1 Final Scheduled Payment Date; (B) the Class A-2a Notes so that the Outstanding Amount for the Class A-2a Notes equals zero on the Class A-2 Final Scheduled Payment Date; (C) the Class A-2b Notes so that the Outstanding Amount for the Class A-2b Notes equals zero on the Class A-2 Final Scheduled Payment Date; (D) the Class A-3a Notes so that the Outstanding Amount for the Class A-3a Notes equals zero on the Class A-3 Final Scheduled Payment Date; (E) the Class A-3b Notes so that the Outstanding Amount for the Class A-3b Notes equals zero on the Class A-3 Final Scheduled Payment Date; (F) the Class A-4 Notes so that the Outstanding Amount for the Class A-4 Notes equals zero on the Class A-4 Final Scheduled Payment Date; (G) the Class B Notes so that the Outstanding Amount of the Class B Notes equals zero on the Class B Final Scheduled Payment Date; or (H) the Class C Notes so that the Outstanding Amount of the Class C Notes equals zero on the Class C Final Scheduled Payment Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the Reserve Account on such Class Final Scheduled Payment Date an amount equal to such deficiency, to the extent of funds available therein, and allocate such amount for distribution to the related Noteholders in accordance with this Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     (iii) In the event that the Outstanding Amount of the Senior Notes exceeds the Related Pool Balance, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the Reserve Account on the related Payment Date an amount equal to such excess, to the extent of funds available therein, and allocate such amount for distribution to the Holders of the Senior Notes.

     (d) Subject to Section 9.01, amounts will continue to be applied pursuant to Section 5.05(a) following payment in full of the Outstanding Amount of the Senior Notes until the Pool Balance is reduced to zero. Following the payment in full of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Senior Notes and of all other amounts owing or to be distributed hereunder or under the Indenture or the Trust Agreement to the Holders of the Senior Notes and the Hedge Counterparty, any amount then allocated to the Reserve Account shall be distributed to Holders of the Class D Notes.

     Section 5.07 Statements to Noteholders. On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall make available via its website to the Owner Trustee, the Hedge Counterparty and the Rating Agencies and provide to the Indenture Trustee and each Paying Agent a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit A, setting forth at least the following information as to the Notes, to the extent applicable:

     (vii) the Pool Balance as of the close of business on the last day of the related Collection Period; and

     (viii) the net amount, if any, of any payments due under all Hedges (specifying, if applicable, the amount of any termination payments then due).

     Each amount set forth on the Payment Date statement under clauses (i), (ii) or (iv) above shall be expressed as a dollar amount per $1,000 of original principal amount of a Note.

     Section 5.08 Net Deposits. As an administrative convenience, unless the Servicer is required to remit collections daily, the Servicer will be permitted to make the deposit of collections on the Receivables and Purchase Amounts for the Collection Period net of distributions to be made to the Servicer with respect to the Collection Period. The Servicer, however, will account to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders as if all deposits, distributions and transfers were made individually.

The Servicer and any manager, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

     Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the Basic Documents and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the Basic Documents and the interests of the Certificateholders under this Agreement and the Noteholders under the Indenture.

Default

     Section 8.01 Servicer Default. If any one of the following events (a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

     (a) any failure by the Servicer to deposit in the Deposit Account any required payment or to direct the Indenture Trustee to make any required distributions therefrom, which failure continues unremedied for a period of five Business Days after written notice of such failure is received by the Servicer from the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer; or

     (b) failure by the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer or the Seller (as the case may be) set forth in this Agreement or any other Basic Document, which failure shall (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of Certificateholders or Noteholders and (ii) continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer or the Seller (as the case may be) (A) by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or (B)  to the Servicer or the Seller (as the case may be) and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes, evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Senior Notes, or if the Senior Notes are no longer Outstanding, Holders of Class D Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Class D Stated Principal Amount or, if the Notes are no longer Outstanding, Certificateholders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Certificates; or

     (c) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Seller, the Servicer or Chrysler Residual Holdco LLC;

then, and in each and every case, so long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee if given by the Noteholders) may terminate all the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 7.02 hereof) of the Servicer under this Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Receivables or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, for the benefit of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the

All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Any successor Servicer (including the Indenture Trustee as successor Servicer) shall provide the Seller in writing with such information as is reasonably requested by the Seller to comply with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act with respect to such Servicer. Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Owner Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Rating Agencies.

     Section 8.02 Appointment of Successor. (a) Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 or the Servicer’s resignation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the later of (i) the date 45 days from the delivery to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel.

Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.

ARTICLE IX

ARTICLE XI

Exchange Act Reporting

     Section 11.01 Further Assurances. The Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Seller in connection with the satisfaction of the Seller’s reporting requirements under the Exchange Act with respect to the Issuer. The Seller

49

shall not exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith. In addition to the information specified below, if so requested by the Seller for the purpose of satisfying its reporting obligation under the Exchange Act, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer shall provide the Seller with (a) such information which is available to such Person without unreasonable effort or expense and within such timeframe as may be reasonably requested by the Seller to comply with the Seller’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and (b) to the extent such Person is a party (and the Seller is not a party) to any agreement or amendment required to be filed, copies of such agreement or amendment in EDGAR-compatible form. Each of the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by the Seller in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB.

     Section 11.02 Form 10-D Filings. For so long as the Seller is required to file Exchange Act Reports with respect to the Issuer, no later than each Payment Date, each of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer shall notify (and the Servicer shall cause any subservicer to notify) the Seller of any Form 10-D Disclosure Item with respect to such Person, together with a description of any such Form 10-D Disclosure Item in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Seller. In addition to such information as the Servicer is obligated to provide pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement, if so requested by the Seller, the Servicer shall provide such information which is available to the Servicer, without unreasonable effort or expense regarding the performance or servicing of the Receivables as is reasonably required to facilitate preparation of distribution reports in accordance with Item 1121 of Regulation AB. Such information shall be provided concurrently with the Statements to Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.07, commencing with the first such report due not less than five Business Days following such request.

     Section 11.03 Form 8-K Filings. For so long as the Seller is required to file Exchange Act Reports with respect to the Issuer, each of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer shall promptly notify the Seller, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after its occurrence, of any Reportable Event (in the case of the Owner Trustee, only an event in clause (d) of the definition of “Reportable Event”) of which such Person (or in the case of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, a Responsible Officer of such Person) has actual knowledge. Each Person shall have actual knowledge of any such event only to the extent that it relates to such Person or any action or failure to act by such Person.

     Section 11.04 Form 10-K Filings. For so long as the Seller is required to file Exchange Act Reports: (i) if the Item 1119 Parties listed on Appendix A have changed since the Closing Date, no later than March 1 of each year, the Seller shall provide each of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer with an updated Appendix A setting forth the Item 1119 Parties and (ii) no later than March 15 of each year, commencing in 2008, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer shall notify the Seller of any Form 10-K Disclosure Item, together with a description of any such Form 10-K Disclosure Item in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Seller.

50

     Section 11.05 Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation. So long as the Seller is required to file Exchange Act Reports in respect of the Issuer, on or before March 15 of each calendar year, commencing in 2008:

     (a) The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Seller and the Servicer a report of the Indenture Trustee’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year, as set forth under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act (or any successor provisions) and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be signed by an authorized officer of the Indenture Trustee and shall at a minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of Appendix B hereto delivered to the Seller concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (provided that such certification may be revised after the date of this Agreement as agreed by the Seller and the Indenture Trustee to reflect any guidance with respect to such criteria from the Commission). To the extent any of the Servicing Criteria are not applicable to the Indenture Trustee, with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving the Indenture Trustee and that are backed by the same asset type as the Receivables, such report shall include such a statement to that effect. The Indenture Trustee acknowledges and agrees that the Seller with respect to its duties as the Certifying Person, and each of their respective officers and directors shall be entitled to rely upon each such servicing criteria assessment and the attestation delivered pursuant to Section 11.05(b) below.

     (b) The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Seller and the Servicer a report of a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the assessment of compliance made by the Indenture Trustee and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act (or any successor provisions), Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X (or any successor provisions) under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation that in the event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such report must be available for general use and not contain restricted use language.

     (c) The Indenture Trustee shall cause each Reporting Subcontractor to deliver to the Seller and the Servicer an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation as and when provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 11.05. An assessment of compliance provided by a Subcontractor need not address any elements of the Servicing Criteria other than those specified by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 11.05(a).

     (d) In the event the Indenture Trustee or Reporting Subcontractor is terminated or resigns during the term of this Agreement, such Person shall provide the documents and information pursuant to this Section 11.05 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or provided services with respect to the Trust or the Receivables.

     Section 11.06 Back-up Sarbanes-Oxley Certification. No later than March 15 of each year, beginning in 2008, the Servicer shall provide to the Person who signs the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification (the “Certifying Person”) a certification (each, a “Performance Certification”) and shall cause each Reporting Subcontractor, in the form attached hereto as

51

Appendix C (in the case of a Reporting Subcontractor) and as Appendix D (in the case of the Servicer) on which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying Person acts as an officer, and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates (collectively with the Certifying Person, “Certification Parties”) can reasonably rely. The Seller will not request delivery of a certification under this Section 11.06 unless the Seller is required under the Exchange Act to file an annual report on Form 10-K with respect to the Issuer. So long as the Servicer is the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller, the Servicer is not required to deliver the Performance Certification. In the event that prior to the filing date of the Form 10-K in March of each year, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer has actual knowledge of information as to itself (or any of its Subcontractors appointed pursuant to Section 11.07) that is material to the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer shall promptly notify the Seller. Each of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer agrees to cooperate with all reasonable requests made by any Certifying Person or Certification Party in connection with such Person’s attempt to conduct any due diligence that such Person reasonably believes to be appropriate in order to allow it to deliver any Sarbanes-Oxley Certification or portion thereof with respect to the Issuer.

     Section 11.07 Use of Subcontractors. (a) It shall not be necessary for the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer to seek the consent of the Seller or any other party hereto to the utilization of any Subcontractor. Each of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall promptly upon request provide to the Seller (or any designee of the Seller, such as the Servicer or the Administrator) a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Seller) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Person, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this sentence.

     (b) As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be a Reporting Subcontractor, the Indenture Trustee shall cause any such Subcontractor for the benefit of the Seller to comply with the provisions of Sections 11.05 and 11.06 to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall be responsible for obtaining from each such Subcontractor and delivering to the Seller, any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Sections 11.05 and 11.06, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

     (c) As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be a Reporting Subcontractor, the Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor for the benefit of the Seller to comply with the provisions of Section 4.10(a)(ii), Section 4.11 and Section 11.06 to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each such Subcontractor and delivering to the Seller, any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under this Agreement, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

     Section 11.08 Representations and Warranties. Each of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee represents that (i) there are no affiliations, relating to such Person with respect to any Item 1119 Party, (ii) there are no relationships or transactions with respect to any Item 1119 Party and such Person that are outside the ordinary course of business or on terms other than would be obtained in an arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party, apart from the transactions contemplated under the Basic Documents, and that are material to the investors’

52

understanding of the Notes and (iii) there are no legal proceedings pending, or known to be contemplated by governmental authorities, against such Person, or of which the property of such Person is subject, that is material to the Noteholders.

     Section 11.09 Indemnification. (a) Each of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer (if the Seller is not the Servicer) shall indemnify the Seller, each affiliate of the Seller, the Servicer with respect to its duties as Certifying Person or each Person who controls any of such parties (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon:

     (i) (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in (x) with respect to the Indenture Trustee, the assessment of compliance provided under this Article XI and (y) with respect to the Servicer, Section 4.10 and Section 4.11 provided by or on behalf of such Person (with respect to each such party, the “Provided Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the related Provided Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Provided Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information; or

     (ii) with respect to the Indenture Trustee, any failure by the Indenture Trustee to deliver any assessment of compliance when and as required under this Article XI and with respect to the Servicer, any failure by the Servicer to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under Section 4.10, Section 4.11 or Article XI, as applicable.

     (b) In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (ii) of Section 11.09(a), each of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Seller for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable.

     (c) Each of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall require that any Reporting Subcontractor agree to the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 11.09, or shall be responsible for all such indemnification, costs or expenses if the Reporting Subcontractor will not agree to such provisions.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential damages 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.

53

     Section 11.10 Amendments. In the event the parties to this Agreement desire to further clarify or amend any provision of this Article XI, this Agreement shall be amended to reflect the new agreement between the parties covering matters in this Article XI pursuant to Section 11.01, provided such amendment will not require any Opinion of Counsel or satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition or the consent of any Noteholder or Certificateholder.

MASTER AGREEMENT

dated as of November 21, 2007

GOLDMAN SACHS MITSUI MARINE	and	DAIMLERCHRYSLER AUTO TRUST 2007-A
DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS, L.P.
“Party A”		“Party B”

have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a “Transaction”) that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which includes the schedule (the “Schedule”), and the documents and other confirming evidence (each a “Confirmation”) exchanged between the parties confirming those Transactions.

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows: —

1. Interpretation

(a) Definitions. The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.

(b) Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction.

(c) Single Agreement. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this “Agreement”), and the parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.

2. Obligations

(a) General Conditions.

(i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement.

(ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

(iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and (3) each other applicable condition precedent specified in this Agreement.

(b) Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable objection to such change.

(c) Netting. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable: —

(i) in the same currency; and

(ii) in respect of the same Transaction,

by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party’s obligation to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.

The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election, together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This election may be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive payments or deliveries.

(d) Deduction or Withholding for Tax.

(i) Gross-Up. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in effect. If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party (“X”) will: —

(1) promptly notify the other party (“Y”) of such requirement;

(2) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Y;

(3) promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such authorities; and

(4) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount Y would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required. However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for: —

(A) the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or

(B) the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax Law.

ISDA® 1992

(ii) Liability. If: —

(1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4);

(2) X does not so deduct or withhold; and

(3) a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against X,

then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).

(e) Default Interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

3. Representations

Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the termination of this Agreement) that: —

(a) Basic Representations.

(i) Status. It is duly organised and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organisation or incorporation and, if relevant under such laws, in good standing;

(iii) No Violation or Conflict. Such execution, delivery and performance do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of its constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets;

(iv) Consents. All governmental and other consents that are required to have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in full force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with; and

(v) Obligations Binding. Its obligations under this Agreement and any Credit Support Document to which it is a party constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganisation, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)).

(1) is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (2) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a general assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors; (4) institutes or has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors’ rights, or a petition is presented for its winding-up or liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition (A) results in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an order for relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or liquidation or (B) is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days of the institution or presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution passed for its winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (6) seeks or becomes subject to the appointment of an administrator, provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or substantially all its assets; (7) has a secured party take possession of all or substantially all its assets or has a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal process levied, enforced or sued on or against all or substantially all its assets and such secured party maintains possession, or any such process is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained, in each case within 30 days thereafter; (8) causes or is subject to any event with respect to it which, under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any of the events specified in clauses (1) to (7) (inclusive); or (9) takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts; or

(viii) Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support Provider of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer: –

(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this Agreement; or

(2) the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Termination Events. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is specified in (ii) below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below:—

ISDA® 1992

becomes unlawful (other than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which will be the Affected Party):—

(1) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or

(2) to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction;

(ii) Tax Event. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B));

(iii) Tax Event Upon Merger. The party (the “Burdened Party”) on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or transferring all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii);

(iv) Credit Event Upon Merger. If “Credit Event Upon Merger” is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party (“X”), any Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action (and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party); or

(v) Additional Termination Event. If any “Additional Termination Event” is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).

(c) Event of Default and Illegality. If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event of Default.

6. Early Termination

(a) Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of Default with respect to a party (the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is then continuing, the other party (the “Non-defaulting Party”) may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however, “Automatic Early Termination” is specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(l), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto,

ISDA® 1992

7

(8), and as of the time immediately preceding the institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).

(b) Right to Terminate Following Termination Event.

(i) Notice. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require.

(ii) Transfer to Avoid Termination Event. If either an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.

If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period, whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).

Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be withheld if such other party’s policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed.

(iii) Two Affected Parties. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination Event.

(iv) Right to Terminate. If:—

(1) a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section 6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or

(2) an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party,

either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party and provided that the relevant Termination Event is then continuing, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.

(c) Effect of Designation.

(i) If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination Event is then continuing.

(ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be

ISDA® 1992

8

made, but without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be determined pursuant to Section 6(e).

(d) Calculations.

(i) Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation.

(ii) Payment Date. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event). Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in the Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.

(e) Payments on Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the following provisions shall apply based on the parties’ election in the Schedule of a payment measure, either “Market Quotation” or “Loss”, and a payment method, either the “First Method” or the “Second Method”. If the parties fail to designate a payment measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed that “Market Quotation” or the “Second Method”, as the case may be, shall apply. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.

(i) Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default:—

(1) First Method and Market Quotation. If the First Method and Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.

(2) First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive number, the Non-defaulting Party’s Loss in respect of this Agreement.

Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.

(3) Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method and Loss apply, an amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting Party’s Loss in respect of this Agreement. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.

ISDA® 1992

(ii) Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a Termination Event:—

(1) One Affected Party. If there is one Affected Party, the amount payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies, except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected Party, respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions.

(2) Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties:—

(A) if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions, and an amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a) one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of the party with the higher Settlement Amount (“X”) and the Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement Amount (“Y”) and (b) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and

(B) if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal to one-half of the difference between the Loss of the party with the higher Loss (“X”) and the Loss of the party with the lower Loss (“Y”).

If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that amount to Y.

(iii) Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early Termination Date occurs because “Automatic Early Termination” applies in respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined under Section 6(d)(ii).

(iv) Pre-Estimate. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence of such losses.

7. Transfer

Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that:—

(a) a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement); and

(b) a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).

Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void.

ISDA® 1992

8. Contractual Currency

(a) Payment in the Contractual Currency. Each payment under this Agreement will be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that payment (the “Contractual Currency”). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency so tendered into the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of such excess.

(b) Judgments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered (i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party. The term “rate of exchange” includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the Contractual Currency.

(c) Separate Indemnities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement.

(d) Evidence of Loss. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual exchange or purchase been made.

9. Miscellaneous

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto.

(b) Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system.

(c) Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and 6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the termination of any Transaction.

(d) Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law.

ISDA® 1992

11

(e) Counterparts and Confirmations.

(i) This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original.

(ii) The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through another effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message constitutes a Confirmation.

(f) No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

(g) Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.

10. Offices; Multibranch Parties

(a) If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking office or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such party, the obligations of such party are the same as if it had entered into the Transaction through its head or home office. This representation will be deemed to be repeated by such party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into.

(b) Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party.

(c) If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to a Transaction will be specified in the relevant Confirmation.

11. Expenses

A Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other party for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the enforcement and protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination of any Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection.

12. Notices

(a) Effectiveness. Any notice or other communication in respect of this Agreement may be given in any manner set forth below (except that a notice or other communication under Section 5 or 6 may not be given by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system) to the address or number or in accordance with the electronic messaging system details provided (see the Schedule) and will be deemed effective as indicated:—

(iv) if sent by certified or registered mail (airmail, if overseas) or the equivalent (return receipt requested), on the date that mail is delivered or its delivery is attempted; or

(v) if sent by electronic messaging system, on the date that electronic message is received,

unless the date of that delivery (or attempted delivery) or that receipt, as applicable, is not a Local Business Day or that communication is delivered (or attempted) or received, as applicable, after the close of business on a Local Business Day, in which case that communication shall be deemed given and effective on the first following day that is a Local Business Day.

(b) Change of Addresses. Either party may by notice to the other change the address, telex or facsimile number or electronic messaging system details at which notices or other communications are to be given to it.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law specified in the Schedule.

(b) Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Agreement (“Proceedings”), each party irrevocably:—

(i) submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by English law, or to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York; and

(ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party.

Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction (outside, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by English law, the Contracting States, as defined in Section 1(3) of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 or any modification, extension or re-enactment thereof for the time being in force) nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.

(c) Service of Process. Each party irrevocably appoints the Process Agent (if any) specified opposite its name in the Schedule to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process in any Proceedings. If for any reason any party’s Process Agent is unable to act as such, such party will promptly notify the other party and within 30 days appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to the other party. The parties irrevocably consent to service of process given in the manner provided for notices in Section 12. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of either party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(d) Waiver of Immunities. Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to itself and its revenues and assets (irrespective of their use or intended use), all immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or other similar grounds from (i) suit, (ii) jurisdiction of any court, (iii) relief by way of injunction, order for specific performance or for recovery of property, (iv) attachment of its assets (whether before or after judgment) and (v) execution or enforcement of any judgment to which it or its revenues or assets might otherwise be entitled in any Proceedings in the courts of any jurisdiction and irrevocably agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that it will not claim any such immunity in any Proceedings.

“Local Business Day” means, subject to the Schedule, a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) (a) in relation to any obligation under Section 2(a)(i), in the place(s) specified in the relevant Confirmation or, if not so specified, as otherwise agreed by the parties in writing or determined pursuant to provisions contained, or incorporated by reference, in this Agreement, (b) in relation to any other payment, in the place where the relevant account is located and, if different. in the principal financial centre, if any, of the currency of such payment, (c) in relation to any notice or other communication, including notice contemplated under Section 5(a)(i), in the city specified in the address for notice provided by the recipient and, in the case of a notice contemplated by Section 2(b), in the place where the relevant new account is to be located and (d) in relation to Section 5(a)(v)(2), in the relevant locations for performance with respect to such Specified Transaction.

“Loss” means, with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, and a party, the Termination Currency Equivalent of an amount that party reasonably determines in good faith to be its total losses and costs (or gain, in which case expressed as a negative number) in connection with this Agreement or that Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, at the election of such party but without duplication, loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain resulting from any of them). Loss includes losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any payment or delivery required to have been made (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) on or before the relevant Early Termination Date and not made, except, so as to avoid duplication, if Section 6(e)(i)(1) or (3) or 6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies. Loss does not include a party’s legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses referred to under Section 11. A party will determine its Loss as of the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if that is not reasonably practicable, as of the earliest date thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A party may (but need not) determine its Loss by reference to quotations of relevant rates or prices from one or more leading dealers in the relevant markets.

“Market Quotation” means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions and a party making the determination, an amount determined on the basis of quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by such party (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement between such party (taking into account any existing Credit Support Document with respect to the obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the “Replacement Transaction”) that would have the effect of preserving for such party the economic equivalent of any payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that date. For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement Transaction would be subject to such documentation as such party and the Reference Market-maker may, in good faith, agree. The party making the determination (or its agent) will request each Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Early Termination Date. The day and time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good faith by the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if each party is so obliged, after consultation with the other. If more than three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If exactly three such quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the quotation remaining after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more than one quotation has the same highest value or lowest value, then one of such quotations shall be disregarded. If fewer than three quotations are

(1)	an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (the “ERISA”) which is subject to Part 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of such Act;
(2)	a “plan” as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; nor
(3)	an entity the assets of which are deemed to be assets of any such “employee benefit plan” or “plan” by reason of the U.S. Department of Labor’s plan asset regulation, 29 C.F.R. Part 2510.3 101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA.

The parties agree that each representation contained in this Part 5(b) shall be deemed repeated by the party making such representation on each date on which a Transaction is entered into.

(c)	Amendment and Modification. Notwithstanding Sections 9(b) and 9(e) of this Agreement, each party agrees that no amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and executed by each of the parties (including by counterpart but excluding by means of a Confirmation); provided that the parties may agree in a Confirmation that they will comply with such Sections to amend, modify or waive this Agreement solely with respect to the Transaction that is the subject of the Confirmation, and provided, further, that the parties may participate in a protocol process of general amendment by ISDA by which master agreements including this one may be deemed to be amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing no amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied in respect of such proposed amendment, modification or waiver.
(d)	Consent to Recording. Each party consents to the recording of the telephone conversations of its trading, operations and marketing personnel in connection with this Agreement or any potential Transaction.
(e)	Non-Petition. Party A hereby agrees it shall not institute against Party B any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceedings until at least one year and one day or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all of the Notes; provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude or estop Party A (A) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the applicable preference period in (x) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by Party B or (y) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced against Party B by a person other than Party A or (B) from commencing against Party B or any properties of Party B any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation

29

proceeding. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

(f)

Assignment or Transfer. (i) Section 7 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“Subject to Section 6(b)(ii) and Part 5(h), and except for the assignment by way of Security in favor of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, neither Party A nor Party B is permitted to assign, novate or transfer (whether by way of security or otherwise) as a whole or in part any of its rights, obligations or interests under this Agreement or any Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party and satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to the proposed assignment, novation or transfer; provided, however, that on at least five Business Days’ prior written notice to Party B, and provided that the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to the proposed assignment, novation or transfer, Party A may (i) make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into another entity to the resulting, surviving or transferee entity or (ii) at its own expense, transfer all or substantially all of its rights and obligations with respect to this Agreement to any Person, including, without limitation, another of Party A’s offices, branches or affiliates (any such Person, office, branch or affiliate, a “Transferee”), provided that:

(1)	such Transferee agrees to be bound by, inter alia, the payment, transfer and collateral terms of this Agreement (including any Transactions hereunder) and substantially all other terms as the party which it replaces;
(2)	such Transferee is an Eligible Replacement;
(3)	a Termination Event or an Event of Default does not occur under this Agreement as a result of such transfer; and
(4)	as of the date of such transfer, neither the Transferee nor Party B will be required to withhold or deduct any increased amount on account of any Taxes under this Agreement as a result of such transfer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Party A may transfer this Agreement, any of its interest or obligations in or under this Agreement, or any one or more Transactions to any of Party A’s Affiliates, provided that (i) Party B is furnished with a guaranty by a guarantor that is reasonably acceptable to Party B (such guaranty subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition), of such transferor’s obligations and (ii) an Event of Default or a Termination Event does not occur as a result of such transfer.

(ii)

Upon any transfer by Party A pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, Party A agrees to provide Party B with the name and address of the Transferee so that Party B may fulfill the requirements to record the transfer on its books and records, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any failure by Party A to do so will render the transfer void. It shall be a condition of such assignment however, that (A) as a result thereof, Party B will not (x) be required to pay the Transferee under Section 2(d)(i)(4) an amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax greater than the amount Party B would have been obligated to pay absent such assignment or transfer, or (y) receive a payment in an amount

30

that is less than the amount that Party B would have received absent such assignment or transfer, which reduction is due to a deduction or withholding for or on account of a Tax with respect to which an additional amount is not required to be paid under Section 2(d)(i)(4) and (B) the Transferee will make tax representations and provide any tax forms requested by Party B. Both Party A and the Transferee are, at the time of the transfer, “dealers in notional principal contracts” as that term is used in Section 1.1001-4 of the Regulations.

(g)	Waiver of Setoff. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other existing or future agreement, each of Party A and Party B irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to setoff, net, recoup or otherwise withhold or suspend or condition payment or performance of any obligations between Party A and Party B hereunder, or against any obligations between Party A and Party B under any other agreements otherwise outside of this Agreement. Section 6(e) of this Agreement shall be amended by the deletion of the following sentence: “The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.”
(h)	Party A Downgrade Provision. If a Ratings Event I (as defined below) shall occur and be continuing with respect to Party A, then Party A shall, within 30 calendar days after the occurrence of a Ratings Event I and provided that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied, either (a) post Eligible Collateral as defined in and pursuant to an ISDA 1994 Credit Support Annex to be entered into between Party A and Party B upon or prior to such posting to secure Party B’s exposure or potential exposure to Party A, (b) transfer, at its own expense, Party A’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and all Confirmations to another party, (c) provide, at its own expense, a guaranty in respect of all Party A’s present and future obligations under this Agreement or (d) take such other actions as may reasonably be requested by the Indenture Trustee (as such term is defined in the Indenture). However, upon the occurrence of a Ratings Event II (as defined below), Party A shall then, provided that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied, at its own expense, transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement and all Confirmations within 10 Business Days of the date of the Ratings Event II. Party A’s obligations to find a transferee or to post Eligible Collateral under an ISDA 1994 Credit Support Annex in the case of a Ratings Event I, or to find a transferee in the case of a Ratings Event II, shall remain in effect only for so long as the applicable event is continuing with respect to Party A.
	For the purpose of this Part 5(h), a “Ratings Event I” shall occur with respect to Party A (a) with respect to Moody’s, if Party A’s counterparty risk or financial program rating, as applicable, is withdrawn, suspended or reduced below “A2” by Moody’s (a “Moody’s First Trigger Rating Event”), (b) with respect to S&P, if Party A’s counterparty risk or financial program rating, as applicable, is withdrawn, suspended or reduced below “A” (an “S&P First Trigger Rating Event”), and (c) with respect to Fitch, the Fitch Rating is reduced below “A” (a “Fitch First Trigger Rating Event”).
	For purposes of this Part 5(h) a “Ratings Event II” shall occur with respect to Party A (a) with respect to Moody’s, if Party A’s counterparty risk or financial program rating, as applicable, is withdrawn, suspended or reduced below “A3” by Moody’s (a “Moody’s Second Trigger Rating Event”), (b) with respect to S&P, if Party A’s counterparty risk or financial program rating, as applicable, is withdrawn, suspended or reduced below

31

	“BBB-” (an “S&P Second Trigger Rating Event”) and (c) with respect to Fitch, the Fitch Rating is reduced below “BBB-” (a “Fitch Second Trigger Rating Event”).
	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the definitions of “Ratings Event I” and “Ratings Event II” may be amended by Party A and Party B without the written consent of any of the holders of the Notes as long as each Rating Agency confirms in writing that such amendment will not cause the reduction, suspension or withdrawal of the then current rating on any of the Notes.
	If Party A fails to take any of the remedial actions set forth in this Part 5(h), an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred pursuant to Part 1(q)(B) of this Schedule and Party A shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event.
(i)	Acknowledgement of Security Interest. Party A hereby acknowledges that Party B has granted a security interest in its rights under this Agreement and has assigned this Agreement to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, and consents thereto, and Party A hereby consents to any transfer of such rights pursuant to an exercise of creditor’s remedies in respect of such security interest or assignment. Party A hereby agrees that, unless notified in writing by the Indenture Trustee of other payment instructions, any and all amounts payable by Party A to Party B under this Agreement shall be paid to the Indenture Trustee at the account specified in the Confirmation. Any payments in accordance with the provisions hereof (or in accordance with any instructions from the Indenture Trustee) by Party A to Party B shall fully release Party A from any further liability to Party B in respect to such payment.
(j)	No Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) This Agreement is made for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the parties hereto and (b) nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights upon, nor shall this Agreement be construed to create any rights in, any person that is not a party to this Agreement.
(k)	Priority of Payments. Any amounts due and payable by Party B hereunder shall be paid in the manner and priority set forth in the Indenture.
(l)	Limited Recourse. Party A hereby acknowledges and agrees that Party B’s obligations hereunder will be solely the limited recourse obligations of Party B payable solely in accordance with the priority of payments set out in the Indenture, and that Party A will not have any recourse to any of the directors, officers, employees or affiliates of Party B or holders of a beneficial interest in Party B with respect to any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities or other obligations in connection with any transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, Party A shall not be precluded from declaring an Event of Default or from exercising any other right or remedy as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, recourse in respect of any obligations of Party B to Party A hereunder or thereunder will be limited to the Collateral and on the exhaustion thereof all claims against Party B arising from this Agreement shall be extinguished.
	Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement (including any related confirmations and credit support annexes) has been countersigned by The Bank of New York (Delaware) not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of Party B and in no event shall The Bank of New York (Delaware) in its individual capacity have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants,

32

	agreements or other obligations of Party B hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of Party B.
(m)	Certain Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Indenture.
	“Indenture” means that certain Indenture dated as of November 1, 2007, between, amongst others, Party B, as Issuer and Citibank, N.A. as Indenture Trustee.

(n)	No Recourse Against Party A. The Notes represent a beneficial interest in the property of the Trust only and do not represent an interest in or obligation of Party A. No holder of a Note shall have any recourse against Party A or its assets with respect to the Notes or this Agreement.
(o)	Regarding Party A. The Trust acknowledges and agrees that Party A had no involvement in, and, accordingly, accepts no responsibility for: (i) the establishment, structure, or choice of assets of the Trust or any series; (ii) the selection of any person performing services for or acting on behalf of the Trust; (iii) the selection of Party A as a swap provider; (iv) the terms of the Notes or the economic terms of any Transaction entered into with the Trust pursuant to this Agreement; (v) the preparation of or passing on the disclosure and other information contained in any offering circular, prospectus, series supplement, trust deed, or any other agreements or documents used by the Trust or any other party in connection with the marketing and sale of the Notes; (vi) the ongoing operations and administration of the Trust, including the furnishing of any information to the Trust which is not specifically required under this Agreement; or (vii) any other
