                                     iii

         SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of February 24, 2004 (as from
time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect, this
"Agreement"), among GS AUTO LOAN TRUST 2004-1 (the "Issuer"), a Delaware
statutory trust, GOLDMAN SACHS ASSET BACKED SECURITIES CORP., a Delaware
corporation (the "Depositor"), WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as
Indenture Trustee (in such capacity, the "Indenture Trustee"), and GOLDMAN
SACHS MORTGAGE COMPANY, a New York limited partnership, as servicer (in such
capacity, the "Servicer").

         WHEREAS, the Issuer desires to purchase a portfolio of receivables
and related property consisting of motor vehicle retail installment sale
contracts and loans;

         WHEREAS, the Servicer is willing to service such receivables on
behalf of the Issuer.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I

                             DEFINITIONS AND USAGE

         Except as otherwise specified herein or as the context may otherwise
require, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are defined
in Appendix A hereto, which also contains rules as to usage that shall be
applicable herein.

                                  ARTICLE II

                              TRANSFERRED ASSETS

         SECTION 2.1  Conveyance of Transferred Assets; Intent of the Parties.
In consideration of the Issuer's delivery to, or upon the order of, the
Depositor of the Notes and the Certificates, the Depositor does hereby
irrevocably sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Issuer without
recourse (subject to the obligations herein) all right, title and interest of
the Depositor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the
Transferred Assets. The sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance made
hereunder shall not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption
by the Issuer of any obligation of the Depositor or any other Person to the
Obligors or any other Person in connection with the Receivables and the other
Transferred Assets or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto.
The Depositor and the Issuer intend that the sale, transfer, assignment and
conveyance of the Transferred Assets pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be a
sale and not a secured borrowing.

         SECTION 2.2  Representations and Warranties of the Depositor regarding
the Receivables. The Depositor makes the following representations and
warranties with respect to the Receivables, on which the Issuer relies in
purchasing the Receivables and pledging the same to the Indenture Trustee.
Such representations and warranties speak as of the Closing Date, but shall
survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables by the Depositor
to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and the pledge of the Receivables by
the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.


<PAGE>

                           (i) Schedule of Receivables. No selection
                  procedures adverse to the Securityholders have been used by
                  the Depositor in selecting the Receivables from all
                  receivables owned by the Depositor which meet the selection
                  criteria specified herein.

                           (ii) No Sale or Transfer. No Receivable has been
                  sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Depositor to
                  any Person other than the Issuer.

                           (iii) Good Title. Immediately prior to the transfer
                  and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuer herein
                  contemplated, each Receivable was free and clear of all
                  Liens created by the Depositor; and, immediately upon the
                  transfer thereof, the Issuer has either (i) good and
                  marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of all
                  of all Liens and rights of others to the extent created by
                  the Depositor and the transfer has been perfected under
                  applicable law or (ii) a first priority perfected security
                  interest in the Depositor's rights in each Receivable.

         SECTION 2.3  Repurchase upon Breach. (a) Each of the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall inform the other parties
to this Agreement promptly, in writing, upon the discovery by it of any breach
of the Depositor's representations and warranties pursuant to Section 2.2
which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Issuer in any
Receivable. Unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the
second Collection Period following written notice to the Indenture Trustee of
such breach, the Depositor shall repurchase any Receivable for which the
interest of the Issuer is materially and adversely affected by such breach as
of such last day (or, at the Depositor's option, the last day of the first
Collection Period following the discovery). Any such breach shall not be
deemed to have a material and adverse effect on the interests of the Issuer if
such breach does not affect the ability of the Issuer to receive and retain
timely payment in full on the related Receivable. The Depositor shall remit
the related Purchase Amount (less any Liquidation Proceeds deposited, or to be
deposited, in the Collection Account with respect to such Receivable pursuant
to Section 3.3), in the manner specified in Section 4.4.

                  (b) Each of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Issuer shall
inform the other parties to this Agreement promptly, in writing, upon the
discovery by it of any breach of any Ford Credit Receivables Representation
with respect to any Ford Credit Receivable or any Huntington Receivables
Representation with respect to any Huntington Receivable. Upon its receipt of
notice as described in the previous sentence, the Indenture Trustee shall
notify (or shall cause notice to be delivered to) Ford Credit or Huntington,
as the case may be, of its breach of any Ford Credit Receivables
Representation or Huntington Receivables Representation, as the case may be.
Unless the breach shall have been cured within the cure period specified in
the Ford Purchase Agreement, the Huntington Purchase and Servicing Agreement
or the Huntington Representations and Warranties Agreement, as applicable, the
Indenture Trustee shall enforce the obligation of Ford Credit or Huntington,
as the case may be, to repurchase any Ford Credit Receivable or Huntington
Receivable, as the case may be, the interest of the Issuer in which is
materially and adversely affected by the breach, as of the date such
repurchase is required under the applicable Originator Agreement. Any such
breach shall not be deemed to have a material and adverse effect on the
interests of the Issuer if such breach does not affect the ability of the
Issuer to receive and retain timely payment in full on the related Receivable.
The Depositor shall cause the Purchase Amount (less any Liquidation Proceeds
deposited, or to be deposited, in the Collection Account with respect to such
Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3) from such purchase to be remitted in the
manner specified in Section 4.4.



                                      2
<PAGE>

                  (c) The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders with respect to a
breach of any of the representations and warranties referred to in Sections
2.3(a) and (b) shall be the repurchase of the related Receivables pursuant to
Section 2.3(a) or (b), as applicable.

                  (d) Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee
shall have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the
occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable
pursuant to this Section 2.3 or the eligibility of any Receivable for purposes
of this Agreement.

                  (e) With respect to all Receivables purchased pursuant to
this Section 2.3, the Issuer shall assign to the Depositor or the applicable
Originator, as the case may be, without recourse, representation or warranty,
all of the Issuer's right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and
all security and documents relating thereto.

         SECTION 2.4  Custody of Receivable Files. The Issuer hereby revocably
appoints the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to
act as the agent of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the
following documents or instruments, which are hereby constructively delivered
to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture,
with respect to each Receivable:

                           (i) the original executed Receivable or, if no such
                  original exists, a copy thereof;

                           (ii) the original credit application fully executed
                  by the Obligor or a photocopy thereof or a record thereof on
                  a computer file, diskette or on microfiche;

                           (iii) the original certificate of title or such
                  documents that the related Receivables Servicer keeps on
                  file, in accordance with its customary procedures,
                  evidencing the security interest of the related Originator
                  in the related Financed Vehicle; and

                           (iv) any and all other documents (including any
                  computer file, diskette or microfiche) that the Servicer or
                  the related Receivables Servicer shall keep on file, in
                  accordance with its or the related Receivables Servicer's
                  customary procedures, relating to a Receivable.

         The Servicer shall be permitted to appoint the applicable Receivables
Servicer to hold the documents and instruments relating to those Receivables
for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility to monitor the Servicer's (or
the Receivables Servicers') performance as custodian and shall have no
liability in connection with the Servicer's (or the Receivables Servicers')
performance of such duties hereunder.



                                      3

         SECTION 2.5 Representations and Warranties as to the Security Interest
of the Issuer in the Receivables. The Depositor makes the following
representations and warranties to the Issuer. The representations and
warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of
the Closing Date, and shall survive the sale of the Trust Property to the
Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture.

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

                  (b) The Receivables constitute "tangible chattel paper"
within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC.

                  (c) Immediately prior to its transfer to the Issuer, each
Receivable was free and clear of any Lien created by the Depositor.

                  (d) The Depositor 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 Issuer
hereunder. Each such financing statement will contain a statement to the
following effect "A purchase of or security interest in any collateral
described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured
Party."

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

                  (f) 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 Seller or
the Issuer.

         Each of the parties hereto agrees that it shall not, without
satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, waive any of the representations
and warranties in this Section 2.5.

                                  ARTICLE III

        ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES AND TRUST PROPERTY

         SECTION 3.1  Duties of Servicer. The Servicer shall (or shall require
the Receivables Servicers to) manage, service, administer and make collections
on the Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and
attention that the Servicer (or the related Receivables Servicer) exercises
with respect to all comparable new or used automobile and light-duty truck
receivables that it (or the related Receivables Servicer) services for itself
or others. The duties the Servicer shall be responsible to delegate to the
Receivables Servicers collection and posting of all payments, responding to


                                      4
<PAGE>

inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating delinquencies,
reporting tax information to Obligors and accounting for collections. The
Servicer shall follow its (or the related Receivables Servicer's) customary
standards, policies and procedures in performing its duties as Servicer.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby (and
each Receivables Servicer pursuant to its Receivables Servicing Agreement is
thereby) authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself
(or the Servicer, in the case of a Receivables Servicer), the Issuer, the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders,
or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or
partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments,
with respect to such Receivables or to the Financed Vehicles securing such
Receivables. If the Servicer (or the related Receivables 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 (or the related Receivables Servicer). If in any
enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer (or
the related Receivables Servicer) may not enforce a Receivable on the ground
that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the
Receivable, the Issuer shall, at the Servicer's expense and direction (or, to
the extent permitted in the related Receivables Servicing Agreement, the
related Receivables Servicer's expense and direction), take steps to enforce
the Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the names of the
Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, or any of them.
The Issuer shall furnish the Servicer (or the related Receivables 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.

         SECTION 3.2  Collection of Receivable Payments. The Servicer shall (or
shall require the related Receivables Servicer to) make reasonable efforts to
collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the
Receivables as and when the same shall become due and shall follow such
collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable new or used
automobile and light-duty truck receivables that it services for itself and
others. To the extent the Indenture Trustee becomes aware of any breach by a
Receivables Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall enforce (or cause the
enforcement of) the obligations of such Receivables Servicer under the related
Receivables Servicing Agreement in all material respects until such
Receivables Servicing Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its
terms. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer and Ford
Credit, as a Receivables Servicer, shall not be required to make any
collection, repossession or liquidation efforts with respect to the Ford
Credit Receivables after March 10, 2010.

         SECTION 3.3 Realization Upon Receivables. On behalf of the Issuer, the
Servicer shall (or shall require the related Receivables Servicer to) use
reasonable efforts, consistent with its (or the related Receivables
Servicer's) customary standards, policies and procedures, to repossess or
otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed Vehicle securing any
Receivable as to which the Servicer (or the related Receivables Servicer)
shall have determined to be uncollectible. The Servicer shall (or shall
require the related Receivables Servicer to) follow such customary standards,
policies and procedures as it (or the related Receivables Servicer) shall deem
necessary or advisable in its servicing of comparable receivables, which may
include selling the Financed Vehicle at public or private sale. The Servicer
(or the related Receivables Servicer) shall be entitled to recover from
proceeds all reasonable expenses incurred by it in the course of converting
the Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds. The Liquidation Proceeds (net of such
expenses) realized in connection with any such action with respect to a


                                      5
<PAGE>

Receivable shall be deposited by the Servicer (or the related Receivables
Servicer) into the Collection Account in the manner specified in Section 4.2
and shall be applied to reduce (or to satisfy, as the case may be) the
Purchase Amount of the Receivable, if such Receivable is to be repurchased by
the Depositor or a Seller pursuant to Section 2.3 or is to be purchased by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.6. The foregoing shall be subject to the
provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered
damage, the Servicer (or the related Receivables Servicer) shall not be
required to 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 3.4  Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles.
The Servicer shall (or shall require the related Receivables Servicer to), in
accordance with its (or the related Receivables Servicer's) customary
procedures, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the
security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle.
The Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer (or a Receivables Servicer) to take
such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of a
Financed Vehicle or for any other reason, in either case, when the Servicer
has knowledge of the need for such re-perfection.

         SECTION 3.5  Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer (or a Receivables
Servicer) may grant extensions, rebates, deferrals, amendments, modifications
or adjustments on a Receivable in accordance with its customary practices (or
those of a Receivables Servicer); provided, however, that the Servicer will
purchase such Receivable in the manner provided in Section 3.6 if the Servicer
(or a Receivables Servicer) does any of the following:

                           (i) releases 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 or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder,
                  satisfaction of the payment obligation evidenced by such
                  Receivable, repossession, discounted settlement, abandonment
                  or by operation of law, in each case in accordance with the
                  Servicer's (or the applicable Receivables Servicer's)
                  customary standards, policies and procedures,

                           (ii) impairs the rights of the Issuer in the
                  Receivables,

                           (iii) agrees to reduce the Annual Percentage Rate
                  or Principal Balance with respect to any Receivable other
                  than as required by applicable law, or

                           (iv) takes any other action with respect to a
                  Receivable which results in a repurchase by a Receivables
                  Servicer of the Receivable under the applicable Originator
                  Agreement.

The Servicer (or any Receivables 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 Receivable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, the Servicer (or any Receivables Servicer) may refinance any
Receivable if the full Principal Balance of such Receivable is deposited into
the Collection Account, and the receivable created by such refinancing shall
not be property of the Issuer.

         SECTION 3.6  Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. (a) Each of the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall inform the
other parties to this Agreement promptly, in writing, upon the discovery by it
of any breach of Section 3.4 or 3.5 which materially and adversely affects the
interest of the Issuer in any Receivable. Unless the breach shall have been
cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following written notice
to the Indenture Trustee of such breach, the Servicer shall repurchase any
Receivable, the interest of the Issuer in which is materially and adversely
affected by such breach as of such last day (or, at the Servicer's option, the
last day of the first Collection Period following the discovery). The Servicer
shall remit the related Purchase Amount (less any Liquidation Proceeds
deposited, or to be deposited, in the Collection Account with respect to such
Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3), in the manner specified in Section 4.4.

                  (b) Each of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Issuer shall
inform the other parties to this Agreement promptly, in writing, upon the
discovery by it of any action with respect to a Receivable which results in a
requirement by a Receivables Servicer to repurchase the Receivable. Upon its
receipt of notice as described in the preceding sentence, the Indenture
Trustee shall notify (or shall cause notice to be delivered to) Ford Credit or
Huntington, as the case may be, of such repurchase requirement and, unless the
action requiring the repurchase shall have been cured within the cure period
specified in the applicable Originator Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall
enforce the obligation of Ford Credit or Huntington, as the case may be, to
repurchase such Receivable. The Servicer shall cause the Purchase Amount (less
any Liquidation Proceeds deposited, or to be deposited, in the Collection
Account with respect to such Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3) from such
purchase to be remitted in the manner specified in Section 4.4.

                  (c) The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders with respect to a
breach of Section 3.4 or 3.5 shall be the repurchase of the related
Receivables pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or (b), as applicable.

                  (d) Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee
shall have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the
occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable
pursuant to this Section 3.6.

                  (e) With respect to all Receivables purchased pursuant to
this Section 3.6, the Issuer shall assign to the Servicer, without recourse,
representation or warranty, all of the Issuer's right, title and interest in
and to such Receivables and all security and documents relating thereto.

         SECTION 3.7  Servicer Fees. The Servicer shall be entitled to the Net
Servicing Fee, which shall be payable as provided in Section 8.2 of the
Indenture. The Receivables Servicers shall be entitled to the Receivables
Servicer Servicing Fee, which shall be payable as provided in Section 8.2 of
the Indenture. To the extent that a Receivables Servicer does not retain its
Receivables Servicer Servicing Fee from collections on Receivables serviced by
it, the Servicer will pay any portion of that Receivables Servicer Servicing
Fee that is not so retained directly to that Receivables Servicer.



                                      7

         SECTION 3.8  Monthly Report. On or prior to the Determination Date for
each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the
Owner Trustee, each Note Paying Agent and each Certificate Paying Agent a
report containing all information (including all specific dollar amounts as
calculated by the Indenture Trustee) necessary to make the transfers and
distributions on each Payment Date pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Indenture
for the Collection Period preceding the date of such report (the "Monthly
Report") and the written statements to be furnished by the Owner Trustee to
the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof and by the Indenture
Trustee to the Noteholders pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof and Section 7.4 of
the Indenture. The Indenture Trustee will be responsible for aggregating and
processing the monthly reports prepared by the Receivables Servicers to the
extent those reports are forwarded to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer or
the Receivables Servicers; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee will
not be liable for any incomplete Monthly Report to the extent that the
Indenture Trustee did not receive the information required to complete that
Monthly Report. In the event that the Indenture Trustee has not received the
information required to complete the monthly report with respect to any
payment date, the Indenture Trustee will promptly notify the Servicer. Neither
the Servicer, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall
have any liability or responsibility for any inaccuracy in any Monthly Report
resulting from any inaccuracy in any information provided by a Receivables
Servicer.

         SECTION 3.9  Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Event of
Servicing Termination. (a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency on or before March 31 of each
year beginning March 31, 2005, an Officer's Certificate, dated as of December
31 of the preceding calendar year, stating that (i) a review of the activities
of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period (or such shorter period
in the case of the first such certificate) and of its performance under this
Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision and (ii) to the best
of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled
all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such period, or, if there
has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each
such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

         (b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee and each Rating Agency promptly after having obtained actual knowledge
thereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, written
notice in an Officer's Certificate of any event which with the giving of
notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Servicing
Termination under Section 7.1.

         SECTION 3.10  Annual Independent Certified Public Accountant's Report.
The Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants,
who may also render other services to the Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor
or either Receivables Servicer, to deliver to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee on or before March 31 of each year beginning March 31, 2005
with respect to the twelve months ended on the immediately preceding
December 31 (or such shorter period in the case of the first such report) a
report to the effect that such firm has examined the servicing functions of
the Servicer for such period, including the applicable party's procedures
and records


                                      8
<PAGE>

relating to such party's servicing of the Receivables under this Agreement and
that, on the basis of such examination, such firm is of the opinion that the
applicable servicing by such party has been conducted during such period in
compliance with this Agreement, except for (a) such exceptions as such firm
believes to be immaterial and (b) such other exceptions as shall be set forth
in such firm's report. In addition, such report shall set forth the procedures
performed in conjunction with the examination.

         The report will also indicate that the firm is independent of the
Servicer (or a Receivables Servicer, as applicable) within the meaning of the
Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.

         In the event such independent certified public accountants require
the Indenture Trustee to agree to the procedures to be performed by such firm
in the report required to be prepared pursuant to this Section 3.10, the
Servicer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to so agree; it being
understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of
agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and the
Indenture Trustee has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to,
and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency,
validity or correctness of such procedures.

         SECTION 3.11 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
Receivables. In each case subject to the Servicer's rights to access under the
related Receivables Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall provide to the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee access to the Receivable Files without
charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours
at the offices of the Servicer or the respective offices of the Receivables
Servicers, as applicable. Nothing in this Section 3.11 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 3.11.

         SECTION 3.12  Servicer Expenses. The Servicer shall be required to pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder,
including fees, expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) and
disbursements of the independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer
and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to
Noteholders and Certificateholders, except that each Receivables Servicer will
be entitled to any Supplemental Servicing Fee.

         SECTION 3.13  Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. To the extent permitted by
applicable law and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission as
interpreted by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Depositor shall furnish in a timely manner for filing under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the certification required by Section 302 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in respect of the Issuer.

                                  ARTICLE IV

        DISTRIBUTIONS; STATEMENTS TO NOTEHOLDERS AND CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

         SECTION 4.1  Accounts. (a) Prior to the Closing Date there shall have
been established (i) the Ford Credit Deposit Account, pursuant to which Ford
Credit has agreed to deposit collections on the Ford Credit Receivables, as
more specifically described in the Ford Credit Servicing Agreement and (ii) a
Huntington Deposit Account, pursuant to which Huntington shall deposit


                                      9
<PAGE>

collections on the Huntington Receivables, as more specifically described in
the Huntington Purchase and Servicing Agreement. Each of the forgoing deposit
accounts were established and shall initially be maintained with the
Depository Institution. On the second Business Day prior to each Payment Date,
the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from each such deposit account for
deposit into the Collection Account the Available Collections for the related
Collection Period. All monies owned by the Issuer deposited from time to time
in the foregoing deposit accounts shall be held by the Depository Institution
for the benefit of the Noteholders and, after payment in full of the Notes, as
agent of the Issuer and as part of the Trust Property; provided, however, that
all monies owned by the Seller or other third parties deposited from time to
time in the foregoing deposit accounts shall not be so held and shall not be
available for deposit into the Collection Account and shall not be available
to make payments in respect of the Notes or the Certificates.

                  (b) The Indenture Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date,
cause to be established and maintained two Eligible Deposit Accounts in the
name "Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Indenture Trustee and as
secured party for GS Auto Loan Trust 2004-1", initially at the corporate trust
department of the Indenture Trustee, which shall be designated as the
"Collection Account" and the "Principal Distribution Account," respectively.
The Collection Account and the Principal Distribution Account shall be under
the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee. In addition, the
Collection Account and the Principal Distribution Account shall be established
and maintained at an institution which agrees in writing that for so long as
the Notes are outstanding it will comply with entitlement orders (as defined
in Article 8 of the UCC) originated by the Indenture Trustee without further
consent of the Issuer. All monies deposited from time to time in the
Collection Account and the Principal Distribution Account shall be held by the
Indenture Trustee as secured party for the benefit of the Indenture Secured
Parties and, after payment in full of the Notes, as agent of the Issuer and as
part of the Trust Property. All deposits to and withdrawals from the
Collection Account and the Principal Distribution Account shall be made only
upon the terms and conditions of the Basic Documents.

         All amounts held in the Collection Account and the Principal
         Distribution Account shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
         law, rules and regulations, be invested, as directed in writing by
         the Servicer, by the depository institution or trust company then
         maintaining the Collection Account and the Principal Distribution
         Account in specified Permitted Investments that mature not later than
         the second Business Day immediately prior to the Payment Date (or if
         the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied, not later than such Payment
         Date) for the Collection Period to which such amounts relate and such
         Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity. The Indenture
         Trustee shall not be liable for investment losses in Permitted
         Investments made in accordance with directions from the Servicer. In
         the event that the Collection Account or the Principal Distribution
         Account is no longer to be maintained at the corporate trust
         department of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall
         cause an Eligible Deposit Account to be established as the Collection
         Account or Principal Distribution Account, as applicable, within ten
         (10) Business Days (or such longer period not to exceed thirty (30)
         calendar days as to which each Rating Agency may consent).

                  (c)      [Reserved].

                  (d) The Indenture Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date,
cause an Eligible Deposit Account to be established and maintained, in the
name "GS Auto Loan Trust 2004-1 Certificate Distribution Account", initially
at the corporate trust department of the Indenture Trustee, which shall be
designated as the "Certificate Distribution Account". The Certificate
Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Owner
Trustee. All monies deposited from time to time in the Certificate
Distribution Account pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture shall be
held by the Owner Trustee as part of the Trust Property and shall be applied
as provided in the Basic Documents. In the event that the Certificate
Distribution Account is no longer to be maintained at the corporate trust
department of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall cause an
Eligible Deposit Account to be established as the Certificate Distribution
Account within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period not to exceed
thirty (30) calendar days as to which each Rating Agency may consent) and
shall give written notice of the location and account number of such account
to the Owner Trustee.

         SECTION 4.2  Collections. Upon the Indenture Trustee becoming aware or
receiving notice of the failure of a Receivables Servicer to remit Collections
in accordance with the terms of the applicable Receivables Servicing
Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall enforce the obligation of each
Receivables Servicer to remit Collections in accordance with the terms of the
applicable Receivables Servicing Agreement. Unless the Rating Agency Condition
has been satisfied, the Servicer shall not consent to any amendment to a
Receivables Servicing Agreement which would delay the timing for remitting
Collections received by a Receivables Servicer under the related Receivables
Servicing Agreement.

         SECTION 4.3  Application of Collections. For the purposes of this
Agreement, all collections for the Collection Period with respect to each
Receivable (other than a Purchased Receivable) shall be applied in accordance
with the customary practices of the related Receivables Servicer or, if such
Receivables Servicer is no longer engaged by the Servicer, the customary
practice of the Servicer.

         SECTION 4.4  Additional Deposits. The Depositor and the Servicer shall
deposit (or cause the deposit of) in the Collection Account the aggregate
Purchase Amount with respect to Purchased Receivables pursuant to Sections 2.3
and 3.6, respectively, and the Servicer shall deposit therein all amounts to
be paid under Section 8.1. All such deposits with respect to a Collection
Period shall be made, in immediately available funds, on the Payment Date
related to such Collection Period. For so long as Goldman Sachs Mortgage
Company is the servicer, on the Business Day before each Payment Date, the
Servicer will deposit into the Collection Account the Receivables Servicer
Supplemental Payment Amount, if any, for that Payment Date.

         SECTION 4.5 Distributions. On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee
shall (based on the information contained in the Monthly Report delivered on
or before the related Determination Date) make withdrawals from the Collection
Account and make deposits, distributions and payments, to the extent of
Available Funds for such Payment Date, in the manner and order of priority set
forth in Section 8.2 of the Indenture.



                                      11
<PAGE>

         SECTION 4.6 Net Deposits. If Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company is not the
Servicer, remittances pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 4.4 above may be made net
of the Net Servicing Fee. Nonetheless, the Indenture Trustee shall account for
all of the above described remittances and distributions in the Monthly Report
as if the amounts were deposited and/or transferred separately.

         SECTION 4.7 Statements to Noteholders and Certificateholders. On each
Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall provide to each Noteholder of record
as of the most recent Record Date (with copies to the Rating Agencies and each
Note Paying Agent) and shall provide a hard copy of the Monthly Report to the
Owner Trustee for distribution to each Certificateholder pursuant to Section
5.05 of the Trust Agreement, setting forth for the Collection Period relating
to such Payment Date the following information as to the Notes and the
Certificates to the extent applicable:

                           (i) the amount of such distribution allocable to
                  principal allocable to the Notes and to the Certificates;

                           (ii) the amount of such distribution allocable to
                  interest allocable to the Notes and the Certificates;

                           (iii) the Pool Balance and the Pool Factor as of
                  the close of business on the last day of the preceding
                  Collection Period;

                           (iv) the amount of the Net Servicing Fee paid to
                  the Servicer with respect to the related Collection Period
                  and the amount of any unpaid Net Servicing Fees and the
                  change in such amount from that of the prior Payment Date;

                           (v) the Receivables Servicer Supplement Payment
                  Amount, if any, for the Payment Date;

                           (vi) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
                  each Class of Notes and the Note Factor for each Class of
                  Notes;

                           (vii) the amount of any previously due and unpaid
                  payment of principal or interest of each Class of Notes, and
                  the change in such amount from that of the prior Payment
                  Date;

                           (viii) the Three-Month Annualized Net Loss Ratio;

                           (ix) the aggregate Purchase Amount of Receivables
                  repurchased pursuant to Section 2.3 or purchased pursuant to
                  Section 3.6, if any, with respect to the related Collection
                  Period; and

                           (x) the aggregate amount of Receivables which
                  became Liquidated Receivables during the related Collection
                  Period.



                                      12
<PAGE>

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

         The Indenture Trustee will make the Monthly Report available to each
Noteholder via the Indenture Trustee's internet website, and, with the consent
or at the direction of the Issuer, such other information regarding the notes
and/or receivables as the Indenture Trustee may have in its possession, but
only with the use of a password provided by the Indenture Trustee.

         The Indenture Trustee's internet website will be initially located at
"www.CTSLink.com" or at such other address as will be specified by the
Indenture Trustee from time to time in writing to the Noteholders and the
Owner Trustee. In connection with providing access to the Indenture Trustee's
internet website, the Indenture Trustee may require registration and the
acceptance of a disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee will not be liable for the
dissemination of information in accordance with the foregoing.

         SECTION 4.8  Subcertifications of Indenture Trustee in Connection with
Sarbanes-Oxley Certifications. No later than ten (10) Business Days prior to
the date on which any Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to the Issuer is
required to be filed, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor an
officer's certificate in the form set forth in Schedule I. The Indenture
Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared for filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (other than the initial Current Report on Form 8-K to
be filed by the Depositor in connection with the issuance of the Securities)
and the Depositor and the Servicer, or either of them, shall sign and certify
any and all reports, statements and information respecting the Issuer and/or
the Notes required to be filed, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder ("1934 Act Documents"). Upon
execution and certification of the 1934 Act Documents by the Depositor or the
Servicer, as applicable, the Indenture Trustee shall file such documents with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless otherwise advised by the
Depositor, the Indenture Trustee shall assume that all 1934 Act Documents
shall consist of only the following: Form 8-K reports attaching the related
Monthly Report to be filed each month beginning in March 2004 through January
2005, a Form 15D to be filed in January 2005 (provided, however, that if the
criteria for filing a Form 15D is not met, the Indenture Trustee shall
continue filing the monthly and annual forms), and a Form 10-K to be filed in
March 2005. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly file, and exercise its
reasonable best efforts to obtain a favorable response to, no-action requests
with, or other appropriate exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange
Commission seeking the usual and customary exemption from such reporting
requirements granted to issuers of securities similar to the Notes if and to
the extent the Depositor shall deem any such relief to be necessary or
appropriate. Unless otherwise advised by the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee
shall assume that the Depositor is in compliance with the preceding sentence.
In no event shall the Indenture Trustee have any liability for the execution
or content of any 1934 Act Documents.

The Depositor makes the following representations and warranties on which the
Issuer is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Trust Property. The
representations and warranties speak as of the Closing Date and shall survive

pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture:

                           (i) Organization and Good Standing. The Depositor
                  is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation in
                  good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with
                  the corporate 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) Power and Authority. The Depositor has the
                  corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this
                  Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a
                  party and to carry out their respective terms; the Depositor
                  has full power and authority to sell and assign the property
                  to be sold, and assigned to and deposited with the Issuer,
                  and the Depositor shall have duly authorized such sale and
                  assignment to and deposit with the Issuer by all necessary
                  corporate action; and the execution, delivery, and
                  performance of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents
                  to which the Depositor is a party have been duly authorized,
                  executed and delivered by the Depositor by all necessary
                  corporate action.

                           (iii) Binding Obligations. This Agreement, when
                  duly executed and delivered by the other parties hereto,
                  constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of the
                  Depositor enforceable against the Depositor in accordance
                  with its terms, except as the enforceability hereof may be
                  limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other
                  similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or
                  affecting creditors' rights in general and by general
                  principles of equity, regardless of whether such
                  enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
                  law.

                           (iv) No Violation. The consummation of the
                  transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
                  Basic Documents to which the Depositor is a party and the
                  fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof do not (i)
                  conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and
                  provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or
                  lapse of time) a default under, the certificate of

                  any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such
                  indenture, agreement, or other instrument, other than the
                  Liens created by this Agreement or any other Basic Document,
                  or (iii) violate any law or, to the best of the Depositor's
                  knowledge, any order, rule, or regulation applicable to the
                  Depositor of any court or of any federal or state regulatory

                  determination or ruling that would reasonably be expected to
                  materially and adversely affect the performance by the

                  Depositor and which would reasonably be expected to
                  adversely affect the federal income tax attributes of the
                  Securities.

                                 THE SERVICER

         SECTION 6.1  Representations of Servicer. The Servicer makes the
following representations on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in
acquiring the Trust Property. The representations speak as of the Closing Date
of this Agreement and shall survive the conveyance of the Trust Property to
the Issuer and the pledge thereof by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture:

                  (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Servicer is duly
organized and validly existing as a limited partnership in good standing under

partnership power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the
other Basic Documents to which it is a party and to carry out their respective
terms; and the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the
other Basic Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Servicer by all necessary limited partnership
action.

                  (c) Binding Obligations. This Agreement, when duly executed
by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid, and binding
obligation of the Servicer enforceable against the Servicer in accordance with
its terms, except as the enforceability hereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
relating to or affecting creditors' rights in general and by general
principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law.

                  (d) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which the
Servicer is a party and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof do not
(i) conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of,
nor constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the
limited partnership agreement of the Servicer, or conflict with or breach any
of the material terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice
or lapse of time) a default under, any indenture, agreement, or other
instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it is bound, (ii)
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties
pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement, or other instrument,
other than Liens created by this Agreement or any other Basic Document or
(iii) violate any law or, to the best of the Servicer's knowledge, any order,
rule, or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court or of any federal
or state regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental
instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer.

<PAGE>

                  (e) No Proceedings. There are no legal or governmental
proceedings pending, or to the best of the Servicer's knowledge, threatened,
before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, or other
governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its
properties (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any of the other
Basic Documents, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Securities or the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
other Basic Documents, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that would
reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the performance by
the Servicer of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of,
this Agreement, any of the other Basic Documents or the Securities, or (iv)
relating to the Servicer and which would reasonably be expected to adversely
affect the federal income tax attributes of the Securities.

         SECTION 6.2  Indemnities of Servicer. The Servicer shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
undertaken by the Servicer under this Agreement, and hereby agrees to the
following:

                  (a) The Servicer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless
the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the
Certificateholders and the Depositor from and against any and all costs,
expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, arising out of or resulting
from the use, ownership or operation by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof
of a Financed Vehicle.

                  (b) Indemnification under this Section 6.2 by Goldman Sachs
Mortgage Company (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 7.2) as
Servicer, with respect to the period such Person was the Servicer, shall
survive the termination of such Person as Servicer or a resignation by such
Person as Servicer as well as the termination of this Agreement or the
resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and shall
include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If
the Servicer shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section
6.2 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter
shall collect any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly
repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest.

         SECTION 6.3  Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the
Obligations of Servicer. Any Person (i) into which the Servicer may be merged
or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation
to which the Servicer shall be a party, (iii) succeeding to the business of
the Servicer or (iv) 50% or more of the equity of which is owned, directly or
indirectly, by Goldman, Sachs & Co., which Person in any of the foregoing
cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the
Servicer under this Agreement, will be the successor to the Servicer under
this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement. The Servicer shall
provide notice of any merger, conversion, consolidation or succession pursuant
to this Section 6.3 to the Rating Agencies and the Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 6.4  Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others. (a)
Neither the Servicer nor the general partner or any limited partner under the
Servicer's limited partnership agreement or any of the directors or officers
or employees or agents of the Servicer, the general partner or any limited
partner under the Servicer's limited partnership agreement shall be under any
liability to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the
Noteholders or the Certificateholders, except as expressly provided under this
Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided,
however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person
against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance or bad faith in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or by reason of
gross negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement (except
for errors in judgment). The Servicer and any director, officer or employee or
agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any Opinion of Counsel or on
any Officer's Certificate of the Depositor or certificate of auditors believed
to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party in respect of any
matters arising under this Agreement.

                  (b) 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 cause it to
incur 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, the rights and duties of the parties to this
Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders and Certificateholders under
this Agreement. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and
any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of
the Issuer, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor. Any
amounts due the Servicer pursuant to this subsection shall be payable on a
Payment Date from the Available Funds on deposit in the Collection Account
only after all payments required to be made on such date to the Noteholders,
the Certificateholders, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the
Servicer have been made.

                  (c) The Servicer, the general partner and each limited
partner under the Servicer's limited partnership agreement and any director or
officer or employee or agent of the Servicer, the general partner and each
limited partner under the Servicer's limited partnership agreement shall be
indemnified by the Issuer and held harmless against any loss, liability, or
expense including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to the performance of the Servicer's
duties under this Agreement, other than (i) any loss or liability otherwise
reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) any loss, liability, or expense
incurred solely by reason of the Servicer's willful misfeasance, negligence,
or bad faith in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement; and
(iii) any loss, liability, or expense for which the Issuer is to be
indemnified by the Servicer under this Agreement. Any amounts due the Servicer
pursuant to this subsection shall be payable on a Payment Date from the

required to be made on such date to the Noteholders, the Certificateholders,
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee have been made.

         SECTION 6.5  Subservicing and Delegation of Duties. The Servicer may,
at any time without notice or consent, delegate (a) any or all of its duties
(including, without limitation, its duties as custodian) under the Basic
Documents to any of its Affiliates or (b) specific duties to sub-contractors
who are in the business of performing such duties; provided that no such
delegation shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to
such duties and the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee for its duties hereunder as if the Servicer alone
were performing such duties.

         Without limiting the generality of the preceding paragraph, each of
the Receivables Servicers will be subservicers pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the applicable Receivables Servicing Agreement. The Issuer and
the Servicer shall permit Ford Credit to repurchase Ford Credit Receivables
that are Liquidated Receivables under the Ford Credit Servicing Agreement on
the date such Ford Credit Receivables became Liquidated Receivables in return
for a deferred repurchase amount equal to Liquidation Proceeds for such Ford
Credit Receivables.

         SECTION 6.6  Servicer Not to Resign as Servicer; Resignation and
Termination of Receivables Servicers. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section
6.3, the Servicer shall not resign from its obligations and duties under this
Agreement except upon the mutual consent of the Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee or upon the determination that the performance
of its duties under this Agreement shall no longer be permissible under
applicable law. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of
the Servicer shall be communicated to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in
writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and
any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee concurrently
with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation shall become effective
until the Indenture Trustee or a Successor Servicer shall have (i) taken the
actions required by Section 7.1(b) and (ii) assumed the responsibilities and
obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 7.2.

                  (b) The Receivables Servicing Agreement with any Receivables
Servicer may be terminated upon the terms and conditions set forth in such
agreement.

         SECTION 6.7  Servicer May Own Notes or Certificates. The Servicer, and
any Affiliate of the Servicer, may, in its individual or any other capacity,
become the owner or pledgee of Notes or Certificates with the same rights as
it would have if it were not the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as
otherwise expressly provided herein or in the other Basic Documents. Except as
set forth herein or in the other Basic Documents, Notes and Certificates so
owned by or pledged to the Servicer or such Affiliate shall have an equal and
proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement, without
preference, priority or distinction as among all of the Notes and
Certificates.

                  this Agreement, which failure shall (A) materially and

                  advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization
                  statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its
                  creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations
                  or become insolvent;

                  then the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify each Rating
         Agency, and in each and every case, so long as an Event of Servicing
         Termination shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture
         Trustee or the holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority
         of the principal amount of the Notes Outstanding (or, if no Notes are
         Outstanding, Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating
         at least a majority), by notice then given in writing to the Servicer
         (and to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee if given by the
         Noteholders and to the Owner Trustee if given by the


                                      20
<PAGE>

         Certificateholders and in each case with a copy to the Rating
         Agencies) may terminate all of the rights and obligations 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
         Certificates or the Trust Property or otherwise, shall pass to and be
         vested in the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer as may be
         appointed under Section 7.2; and, without limitation, the Indenture
         Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to
         execute and deliver, on behalf 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. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, a delay or failure of performance referred to under
         clauses (i) and (ii) above for a period of 150 days will not
         constitute an Event of Servicing Termination if such delay or failure
         was caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence.

                  (b) Upon termination of the Servicer under Section 7.1(a),
the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee, the Owner
Trustee and such Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement,
including the transfer to the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer for
administration of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the
predecessor Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received with respect
to a Receivable and the delivery of the Receivable Files and the related
accounts and records to the extent maintained by the Servicer. 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 7.1
shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs and expenses.

                  (c) Upon termination of the Servicer under Section 7.1(a),
the Successor Servicer shall service the Ford Credit Receivables and the
Huntington Receivables through their respective Receivables Servicing
Agreements, unless the applicable Receivables Servicing Agreement has been
terminated pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth therein.

         SECTION 7.2 Appointment of Successor Servicer. (a) Upon the Servicer's
receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.1 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 (x) the date 45 days from the delivery to the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or
written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and (y) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become
unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and
accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the Servicer's resignation or
termination hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a Successor



                                      21
<PAGE>

Servicer, and the Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written
assumption in form acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
(with a copy to each Rating Agency). In the event that a Successor Servicer
has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to
act as Servicer in accordance with this Section 7.2, the Indenture Trustee
without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor
Servicer. The Indenture Trustee may resign as the Servicer by giving written
notice of such resignation to the Issuer and in such event shall be released
from such duties and obligations, such release not to be effective until the
date a Successor Servicer enters into a written assumption as provided in this
Section. Upon delivery of any such notice to the Issuer, the Issuer shall
obtain a new servicer as the Successor Servicer in accordance with this
Section. Notwithstanding the above, if the Indenture Trustee shall be legally
unable so to act or if, within 30 days after the delivery of its notice of
resignation, the Issuer shall not have obtained a Successor Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to appoint, any established institution, having a net worth of not less than
$100,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of
automotive receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement;
provided that the Rating Agency Condition shall be satisfied in connection
with such appointment.

                  (b) Upon appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the
successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to
all the responsibilities, duties, and liabilities arising thereafter relating
thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer, by the terms and provisions of
this Agreement; provided, that (i) any failure of such Successor Servicer to
perform such responsibilities or duties that are caused by the predecessor
Servicer's failure to provide information or monies required hereunder shall
not be considered a default by such Successor Servicer and (ii) such Successor
Servicer shall have no liability for actions, inactions or representations of
the predecessor Servicer.

                  (c) In connection with such appointment, the Indenture
Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such Successor
Servicer out of payments on Receivables as it and such Successor Servicer
shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess
of that permitted the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement. The Indenture
Trustee and such Successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with
this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the other Basic
Documents to the contrary, in no event shall any Successor Servicer be
required to purchase any Receivable pursuant to Section 3.6 herein.

         SECTION 7.3  Notification to Noteholders and Certificateholders. Upon
any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to
this Article VII, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Noteholders, and the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses of record and to
each Rating Agency.

         SECTION 7.4  Waiver of Past Events of Servicing Termination. The
holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the principal amount
of the Controlling Class (or, if no Notes are outstanding, holders of
Certificates evidencing a majority of the Percentage Interests) may, on behalf
of all Noteholders and Certificateholders, waive any Event of Servicing
Termination hereunder and its consequences, except an event resulting from the
failure by the Servicer to make any required payments in accordance with this
Agreement, which shall require the unanimous vote of all Holders of
Outstanding Securities. Upon any such waiver of a past Event of Servicing
Termination, such Event of Servicing Termination shall cease to exist, and


                                      22
<PAGE>

shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Servicing
Termination or impair any right consequent thereon. The Indenture Trustee
shall provide written notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies.

                                 ARTICLE VIII

                                  TERMINATION

         SECTION 8.1  Optional Purchase of All Receivables. The Servicer, or if
the Servicer does not exercise such right, a Certificateholder evidencing 100%
of the Percentage Interests in the Certificates may purchase the outstanding
Receivables and the other Trust Property on any Payment Date if, as of the
last day of the related Collection Period, the Pool Balance has declined to
10% or less of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-Off Date. To exercise such
option, the Servicer or Certificateholder, as applicable, shall deposit the
Optional Purchase Price to the Collection Account on such Payment Date. The
Servicer or Certificateholder, as applicable, shall furnish notice of such
election to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee not later than twenty
(20) days prior to the Prepayment Date. Promptly following its receipt of such
notice, (i) the Indenture Trustee will promptly (but not later than 3 Business
Days after it has received such notice) provide notice of such purchase to the
Noteholders of record and (ii) the Owner Trustee will promptly (but not later
than 3 Business Days after it has received such notice) provide notice of such
purchase to the Certificateholders of record.

         SECTION 8.2  Succession Upon Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.
Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the payment in full
of the principal of and interest on the Notes, to the extent permitted by
applicable law and the Indenture Trustee will continue to carry out its
obligations hereunder as agent for the Owner Trustee, including without
limitation making distributions from the Collection Account in accordance with
Section 4.5.

                                  ARTICLE IX

                           MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         SECTION 9.1Amendment. (a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may
be amended by the Depositor and the Servicer without the consent of the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, any Noteholder, any Certificateholder,
the Issuer or any other Person; provided that such amendment shall not, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee and to
that effect, materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders
or the Certificateholders. An amendment shall be deemed not to materially and
adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders
and no Opinion of Counsel to that effect shall be required if the Rating
Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment.

                  (b) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended
by the Depositor and the Servicer but without the consent of the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee, any Noteholder, any Certificateholder, the Issuer
or any other Person to add, modify or eliminate any provisions as may be
necessary or advisable in order to enable the Depositor, the Servicer or any
of their Affiliates to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under
any law or regulation or any accounting rule or principle, it being a
condition to any such amendment that the Rating Agency Condition shall have
been satisfied.

amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Servicer, with the consent
of the Indenture Trustee to the extent that its rights or obligations are
materially and adversely affected thereby (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld) and with the consent of (i) the Noteholders of Notes
evidencing not less than a majority of the principal amount of each Class of
Notes, and (ii) the Certificateholders of Certificates evidencing not less
than a majority of the Percentage Interests (which consent of any holder of a
Note or holder of a Certificate given pursuant to this Section 9.1 or pursuant
to any other provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on
such Note or Certificate, as the case may be, and on all future holders of
such Note or holders of such Certificate, as the case may be, and of any Note
or Certificate, as applicable, issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange
thereof or in lieu thereof whether or not notation of such consent is made
upon such Note or the Certificate), 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, or change the allocation or priority of, collections of payments on
Receivables or distributions that shall be required to be made on any Note or
Certificate or change any Note Interest Rate, without the consent of all
Noteholders or Certificateholders or (B) reduce the aforesaid percentage

of all Notes affected thereby and holders of all Certificates affected
thereby. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders or the
Certificateholders pursuant to this Section 9.1 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 Noteholders and Certificateholders
provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Noteholders and Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable requirements as the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
may prescribe, including, with respect to the Noteholders, the establishment
of record dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement.

                  (d) Prior to the execution of any such amendment the
Indenture Trustee will provide written notification of the substance of such
amendment to each Rating Agency.

                  (e) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the
Indenture Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such
amendment to the Owner Trustee and each Rating Agency. The Issuer shall
provide notification of the substance of the amendment to each
Certificateholder, and the Indenture Trustee will provide notification of the
substance of such amendment to each Noteholder.

Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to
receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and, if applicable, the
Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 9.1(a). The Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
amendment which affects such Owner Trustee's or Indenture Trustee's own
rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

         SECTION 9.2  Protection of Title to Trust Property. (a) The Depositor
shall file such financing statements and the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer
shall file such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places
as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain, and protect the
interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Indenture Secured Parties in the Receivables and in the proceeds thereof. The
Depositor or Issuer, as applicable, shall deliver (or cause to be delivered)
to the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any
document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.
The Depositor hereby authorizes the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the

might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Owner Trustee in accordance with
paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of Sections 9-506,
9-507 or 9-508 of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at least 5 days' prior written notice
thereof and shall have promptly filed appropriate amendments to all previously
filed financing statements or continuation statements.

the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at least ten (10) days' prior
written notice of any relocation of its principal executive office or change
in the jurisdiction under whose laws it is formed if, as a result of such
relocation or change, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the
filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation
statement or of any new financing statement and shall promptly file any such
amendment or new financing statement. The Servicer shall at all times maintain
each office from which it shall service Receivables, and its principal
executive office, within the United States of America.

                  (d) The Servicer shall maintain (or shall cause the
Receivables Servicers to maintain) accounts and records as to each Receivable
accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know
at any time the status of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries
made and payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation
between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each Receivable and the
amounts from time to time deposited in the Collection Account in respect of
such Receivable.

                  (e) The Servicer shall maintain its (or cause the
Receivables Servicers to maintain their) computer systems so that, from and
after the time of conveyance under this Agreement of the Receivables to the
Issuer, the Servicer's (or Receivables Servicers') master computer records
(including any back-up archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate
clearly, by numerical code or otherwise, that such Receivable is owned by the
Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee. Indication of the
Issuer's and the Indenture Trustee's interest in a Receivable shall not be
deleted from or modified on the Servicer's computer systems until, and only
until, the Receivable shall have been paid in full or repurchased.

Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender, or other transferee
computer tapes, records, or print-outs (including any restored from back-up
archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any
Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been conveyed to

                  (g) The Servicer, upon receipt of reasonable prior notice,
shall permit the Indenture Trustee and its agents at any time during normal

shall be reimbursed by the Issuer pursuant to Section 8.2(c) of the Indenture)
to inspect, audit, and make copies of and to obtain abstracts from the
Servicer's records regarding any Receivable.

Jury Trial.

                  appellate courts from any thereof;

                           (ii) consents that any such action or proceeding
                  may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that
                  it may now or hereafter have to the venue of such action or
                  proceeding in any such court or that such action or
                  proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees
                  not to plead or claim the same;

                           (iii) agrees that service of process in any such

                           (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the
                  right to effect service of process in any other manner
                  permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any
                  other jurisdiction.

         SECTION 9.8  Limitation of Liability of the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee. (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, this Agreement has been signed by Wilmington Trust Company not in
its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the
Issuer and in no event shall Wilmington Trust Company, in its individual
capacity or, except as expressly provided in the Trust Agreement, as Owner
Trustee of the Issuer have any liability for the representations, warranties,
covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder or in any
of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as to
all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer. For all
purposes of this Agreement, in the performance of its duties or obligations
hereunder or in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer
hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits
of, the terms and provisions of Articles VI and VII of the Trust Agreement.

         (b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this
Agreement has been accepted by Wells Fargo, not in its individual capacity but
solely as Indenture Trustee, and in no event shall Wells Fargo have any
liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other
obligations of the Issuer hereunder or in any of the certificates, notices or
agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as to all of which recourse shall be had
solely to the assets of the Issuer.

         SECTION 9.9  Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest. (a) Each
of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the transfer of the
Transferred Assets contemplated and effected under this Agreement is a
complete and absolute sale and transfer of the Transferred Assets rather than
a pledge or assignment of only a security interest and shall be given effect
as such for all purposes. It is further the intention of the parties hereto
that the Receivables and other Transferred Assets shall not be part of the
Depositor's estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the
Depositor. The sale and transfer by the Depositor of Receivables and other

in any agreement or instrument that is governed by this Appendix means such
agreement or instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or
supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver
or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor
statutes and includes (in the case of agreements or instruments) references to
