         Section 2.05. Initial Capital Contribution of Trust Estate. The
Depositor hereby sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over to the Owner
Trustee, as of the date hereof, the sum of $1. The Owner Trustee hereby
acknowledges receipt in trust from the Depositor, as of the date hereof, of

that it will hold the Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions
set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to
the obligations of the Trust under the Basic Documents. It is the intention of
the parties hereto that the Trust constitute a statutory trust under the
Statutory Trust Statute and that this Agreement constitute the governing
instrument of such statutory trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto
that, solely for income and franchise tax purposes : (1) if there is one
beneficial owner in respect of the Trust Certificates, the Trust shall be
treated as a disregarded entity, and (2) if there is more than one beneficial
owner in respect of the Trust Certificates, the Trust 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 Trust, the
partners of the partnership being the Certificateholders, and the Notes being
debt of the partnership. The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by
appropriate tax authorities, the Trust and to the extent applicable, the
Certificateholders will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary
returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the
Trust provided in the preceding sentence for such tax purposes and will not
take any position contrary to this characterization in any federal or state
tax filings. Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all
rights, powers and duties set forth herein and in the Statutory Trust Statute
with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust.

         Section 2.07. Liability of Owners. The Owners (including the
Depositor or any Affiliate thereof) shall be entitled to the same limitation
of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for
profit organized under the general corporation law of the State of Delaware.

         Section 2.08. Title to Trust Property. Subject to the Indenture,
legal title to all the Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Trust
as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any jurisdiction
requires title to any part of the Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee or
trustees, in which case title shall be deemed to be vested in the Owner
Trustee, a co-trustee or a separate trustee, as the case may be.

         Section 2.09. Situs of Trust. The Trust will be located in the State
of Delaware and administered in the State of Delaware or the State of New
York. All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust
shall be located in the State of Delaware or the State of New York. The Trust
shall not have any employees; provided, however, that nothing herein shall
restrict or prohibit the Owner Trustee from having employees within or without
the State of Delaware. Payments will be received by the Trust only in Delaware
or New York, and payments will be made by the Trust only from Delaware or New
York. The only office of the Trust will be at the Corporate Trust Office in

         performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by the
         Depositor by all necessary corporate action.

              (d) The Depositor has duly executed and delivered this
         Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
         obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor, in
         accordance with its terms.

              (e) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict
         with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or
         constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under,
         the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor, or any
         indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a
         party or by which it is bound; nor result in the creation or
         imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the
         terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other
         than pursuant to the Basic Documents); nor violate any law or, to the
         best of the Depositor's knowledge, any order, rule or regulation
         applicable to the Depositor of any court or of any federal or state
         regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental
         instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its
         properties.

              (f) There are no proceedings or investigations pending or
         threatened before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency
         or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the
         Depositor or its properties (i) asserting the invalidity of this
         Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iii) seeking any
         determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect
         the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the
         validity or enforceability of, this Agreement.

         Section 2.11. Federal Income Tax Allocations. If there is more than
one beneficial owner of the Trust Certificates, net income of the Trust for
any month as determined for federal income tax purposes (and each item of
income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall
be allocated among the Certificateholders as of the first day following the
Record Date, in proportion to their percentage ownership interest of Trust
Certificates on the Record Date.

         If there is more than one beneficial owner of the Trust Certificates,
net losses of the Trust, if any, for any month as determined for federal
income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction
entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated among the
Certificateholders as of the first Record Date following the end of such month
in proportion to their percentage ownership interest of Trust Certificates on
such Record Date. The Issuer is authorized to modify the allocations in this
paragraph if necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, for the
allocations to fairly reflect the economic income, gain or loss to the
Certificateholders, or as otherwise required by the Code.

                                 ARTICLE III

                 TRUST CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

         Section 3.01. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by
the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.05 and until the
issuance of the Trust Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole
beneficiary of the Trust.

         Section 3.02. The Trust Certificates. The Certificates shall be
issued in minimum denominations of a one percent (1%) Percentage Interest in
the Trust. The Trust Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by
manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee.
Trust Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals
who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized
to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the
benefit of this Agreement and shall be valid and binding obligations of the
Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased
to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Trust
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and
delivery of such Trust Certificates.

         A transferee of a Trust Certificate, if any, shall become a
Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the
obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such transferee's acceptance
of a Trust Certificate duly registered in such transferee's name pursuant to
Section 3.04.

         Section 3.03. Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Trust
Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Trust
Certificates in an aggregate Percentage Interest equal to 100% to be executed
on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written
order of the Depositor, signed by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, without
further action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations. No Trust
Certificate shall entitle its Holder to any benefit under this Agreement or be
valid for any purpose unless there shall appear on such Trust Certificate a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit
A, executed by the Owner Trustee or JPMorgan Chase Bank, as the Owner
Trustee's authenticating agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall
constitute conclusive evidence that such Trust Certificate shall have been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Trust Certificates shall be
dated the date of their authentication.

         When a Trust Certificate is duly executed and issued by the Trust and
duly authenticated in accordance with this Agreement, the Trust Certificate
will be fully paid, validly issued, nonassessable and entitled to the benefits
of this Agreement.

         Section 3.04. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Trust
Certificates. The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the
office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, a Certificate Register
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Owner Trustee shall provide for the registration of Trust Certificates and of
transfers and exchanges of Trust Certificates as herein provided. JPMorgan
Chase Bank shall be the initial Certificate Registrar.


                                      15

         The Trust 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
Trust 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
said Act and such state securities laws. 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 Holder desiring to effect such transfer and such Holder's
prospective transferee shall each certify to the Owner Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding the
transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit C and Exhibit D (the
"Investment Letter"). Except in the case of a transfer as to which the
proposed transferee has provided an Investment Letter with respect to a Rule
144A transaction, there shall also be delivered to the Depositor, 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, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar (unless it is the
transferee from whom such opinion is to be obtained) or of the Depositor or
the Seller; 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
Owner Trustee shall provide to any Holder of a Trust Certificate and any
prospective transferee designated by any such Holder information regarding the
Trust 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 Trust Certificate without registration thereof under
the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule
144A, provided that such information shall have been provided to the Owner
Trustee by the Depositor. Each Holder of a Trust Certificate desiring to
effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust,
the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond
Administrator 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.

         No transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be made to any Person unless
the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar have received
(a) a certificate in the form of paragraph 3 to the Investment Letter attached
hereto as Exhibit D from such Person to the effect that such Person is not a
Benefit Plan, or (b) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Owner Trustee,
the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor to the effect that the purchase
and holding of such Trust Certificate will not constitute or result in the
assets of the Trust being deemed to be "plan assets" subject to the prohibited
transactions provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not
subject the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Depositor to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Basic Documents; provided,
however, that the Owner Trustee will not require such certificate or opinion
in the event that, as a result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel
satisfactory to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
has rendered an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the purchase and holding
of a Trust Certificate by a Benefit Plan or a Person that is purchasing or
holding such a Trust Certificate with the assets of a Benefit Plan will not
constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code.

         No transfer, pledge or encumbrance of Trust Certificates shall be
made to any Person unless such Person is a Rated Entity, an SPV or a statutory
trust established under the Statutory


                                      16
<PAGE>


Trust Statute 12 Del. C. ss. 3801 et seq. or Salomon Smith Barney Inc. or an
Affiliate thereof. In addition, no transfer of Trust Certificates shall be
made to any Person unless the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar have
received an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Owner Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor to the effect that such transfer will
not cause the Trust to be treated as an association or publicly traded
partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and that
such transfer will not result in any materially adverse federal income tax
consequences to the Noteholders.

         Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Trust Certificate
at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, the Owner Trustee
shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause JPMorgan Chase Bank as
its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Trust Certificates in
authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount dated the date of
authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. At the option
of a Certificateholder, Trust Certificates may be exchanged for other Trust
Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount upon
surrender of the Trust Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency
maintained pursuant to Section 3.08.

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

         No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Trust Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of Trust Certificates.

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

         Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither
the Certificate Registrar nor the Owner Trustee shall be responsible for
ascertaining whether any transfer complies with the registration provisions or
exemptions from the Securities Act, the Securities Act of 1934, as amended,
applicable state securities law or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended; provided, however, that if a certificate or opinion is specifically
required to be delivered to the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar by
a purchaser or transferee of a Trust Certificate, the Owner Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar, as the case may be, shall be under a duty to examine
the same to determine whether it conforms to the requirements of this Trust
Agreement and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if such
certificate or opinion does not so conform.


                                      17

         Section 3.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust
Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Trust Certificate shall be surrendered to
the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust
Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and
the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust
Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee on
behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee or JPMorgan Chase
Bank, 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 Trust Certificate, a new Trust Certificate of like tenor and
denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Certificate
under this Section, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of
ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Trust Certificate shall be found at any time.

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

         Section 3.07. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses. The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to
the Servicer, the Paying Agent 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, the Paying Agent, or
the Depositor may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. If (i) three or more
Certificateholders or (ii) one or more Holders of Trust Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Percentage Interests in the Certificates
apply in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such application states
that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with
respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Trust Certificates
and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such
applicants propose to transmit, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within
five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such
applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of
Certificateholders. Each Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Trust
Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Depositor,
the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the
disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.

         Section 3.08. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Owner Trustee
shall designate in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office
or offices or agency or agencies where Trust Certificates may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Trust Certificates and the Basic
Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee initially designates JPMorgan Chase
Bank as its office for such purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt
written notice to the


                                      18
<PAGE>


Depositor and the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the
Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

         Section 3.09. Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall
make distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution
Account pursuant to Section 5.02 and shall report the amounts of such
distributions to the Owner Trustee. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable
power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the
purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Owner Trustee may
revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee determines
in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its
obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. The Paying Agent
initially shall be JPMorgan Chase Bank. JPMorgan Chase Bank shall be permitted
to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the Owner Trustee.
In the event that JPMorgan Chase Bank shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the
Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be
a bank or trust company). The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Paying
Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee to execute
and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying
Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that, as
Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold
all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums
shall be paid to such Certificateholders. The Paying Agent shall return all
unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such
Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner
Trustee. The provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04 and 8.01 shall apply to
the Owner Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Owner
Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other
paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the
Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires
otherwise.

         Section 3.10. Definitive Trust Certificates. The Trust Certificates,
upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of a typewritten Trust
Certificate or Trust Certificates in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A to
be delivered to the related Certificateholders by, or on behalf of, the Trust.
Such Trust Certificate or Trust Certificates shall be registered on the
Certificate Register in the name of the holder thereof. The Trust Certificates
shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other
manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Owner Trustee, as evidenced by its
execution thereof.

         Administration Agreement, except to cure any ambiguity or to amend or

         In addition, the Trust shall not commingle its assets with those of
any other entity. The Trust shall maintain its financial and accounting books
and records separate from those of any other entity. Except as expressly set
forth herein, the Trust shall not pay the indebtedness, operating expenses and
liabilities of any other entity. The Trust shall maintain appropriate minutes
or other records of all appropriate actions and shall maintain its office
separate from the offices of the Depositor and the Servicer.

         The Owner Trustee shall not have the power, except upon the written
direction of the Certificateholders, and to the extent otherwise consistent
with the Basic Documents and permitted by applicable law, to (i) remove or

direct the Owner Trust to take any Bankruptcy Action with respect to the
Trust.

         Section 4.02. Action by Certificateholders with Respect to Certain

Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction, if given.

         Section 4.05. Majority Control. Except as expressly provided herein,

                  APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES

         Section 5.01. Establishment of Trust Account. The Owner Trustee, for
the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall cause the Paying Agent to
establish and maintain in the name of the Trust an Eligible Deposit Account
(the "Certificate Distribution Account"), bearing a designation clearly
indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. The title of the Certificate Distribution Account shall be
"SSB Auto Loan Trust 2002-1: Certificate Distribution Account for the benefit
of the Certificateholders."

         The Owner Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all
funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and
in all proceeds thereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the
Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control
of the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If, at any
time, the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit
Account, the Owner Trustee (or the Depositor on behalf of the Owner Trustee,
if the Certificate Distribution Account is not then held by the Owner Trustee
or an affiliate thereof) 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 Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Deposit
Account and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Certificate
Distribution Account.

         Section 5.02. Application of Trust Funds.

              (a) On each Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause the
Paying Agent to distribute to Certificateholders, on a pro rata basis, amounts
deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.06 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Distribution Date.

              (b) On each Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee shall send to
each Certificateholder the statement or statements provided to the Owner
Trustee by the Bond Administrator pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement with respect to such Distribution Date.

              (c) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the
Trust's payment (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax
shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Certificateholder in
accordance with this Section. The Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent are
hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable
to the Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is
legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner
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). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a
Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such
Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the
appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax
is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a
non-U.S. Certificateholder), the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent may in its
sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (c).

returns, (c) file (or cause to be filed) such tax returns relating to the
Trust (including a partnership information return, IRS Form 1065 if the Trust

                                  ARTICLE VI

                     AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF OWNER TRUSTEE

         Section 6.01. General Authority. The Owner Trustee is authorized and
directed to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to
be a party and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or
contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be a party, in
each case, in such form as the Depositor shall approve, as evidenced
conclusively by the Owner Trustee's execution thereof. 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 Trust Administrator recommends with respect to and in accordance with 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 Agreements to which the
Trust is a party and to administer the Trust in the interest of the
Certificateholders, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. 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 Trust Administrator has agreed
in the Trust 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 Trust
Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Trust Administration
Agreement.

         Section 6.03. Action upon Instruction.

              (a) Subject to Article IV and in accordance with the terms of
the Basic Documents, the Certificateholders may by written instruction direct
the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust. Such direction may be
exercised at any time by written instruction of the Certificateholders
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
Certificateholders of record as of the preceding Record Date 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
such Certificateholders 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


                                      26
<PAGE>


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
Certificateholders, 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
Certificateholders of record as of the preceding Record Date 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
Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action
or inaction.

         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 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 Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims
against, the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity that are not related to
the ownership or the administration of the Trust Estate.

         Section 6.05. No Action Except Under Specified Documents or
Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose
of or otherwise deal with any part of the Trust Estate except (i) in
accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the
Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Basic
Documents and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered
to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.03.

         Section 6.06. Restrictions. The Owner Trustee shall not take any
action (a) that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in
Section 2.03 or (b) that, to the actual


                                      27
<PAGE>


knowledge of the Owner Trustee, would result in the Trust's becoming taxable
as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. The Certificateholders shall
not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions
of this Section.

         Section 6.07. Administrative Duties.

         any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to
         institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or
         otherwise or in relation to this Agreement or any Basic Document, at
         the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders,
         unless such Certificateholders have offered to the Owner Trustee
         security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses
         and liabilities that may be incurred by the Owner Trustee therein or
         thereby. The right of the Owner Trustee to perform any discretionary
         act enumerated in this Agreement or in any Basic Document shall not
         be construed as a duty, and the Owner Trustee shall not be answerable
         for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the
         performance of any such act.

         Section 7.02. Furnishing of Documents. The Owner Trustee shall
furnish to the Certificateholders, promptly upon receipt of a written request
therefor, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests, demands,
certificates, financial statements and any other instruments furnished to the
Owner Trustee under the Basic Documents.

         Section 7.03. Representations and Warranties. The Owner Trustee
hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, that:

              (a) It is a banking corporation duly organized and validly
         existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. It
         has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver
         and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

              (b) It has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the
         execution and delivery by it of this Agreement, and this Agreement
         will be executed and delivered by one of its officers who is duly
         authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement on its behalf.

              (c) Neither the execution or the delivery by it of this
         Agreement, nor the consummation by it of the transactions
         contemplated hereby, nor compliance by it with any of the terms or
         provisions hereof will contravene any federal or Delaware law,
         governmental rule or regulation governing the banking or trust powers
         of the Owner Trustee or any judgment or order binding on it, or
         constitute any default under its charter


                                      32
<PAGE>


         documents or bylaws or any indenture, mortgage, contract, agreement
         or instrument to which it is a party or by which any of its
         properties may be bound.

              (d) It is 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 A-1 by Standard & Poor's
         and P-1 by Moody's or who is otherwise acceptable to each Rating
         Agency.

         Section 7.04. Reliance; Advice of Counsel.

              (a) The Owner Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in
acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent,
order, certificate, report, opinion, bond, or other document or paper believed
by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or
parties. The Owner Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the
board of directors or other governing body of any corporate party as
conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body
and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the
method of determination of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the
Owner Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the
president or any vice president or by the treasurer or other authorized
officers of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such
certificate shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

              (b) In the exercise or administration of the trusts hereunder
and in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement or
the Basic Documents, the Owner Trustee (i) may act directly or through its
agents or attorneys pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them, and
the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the conduct or misconduct of such
agents or attorneys if such agents or attorneys shall have been selected by
the Owner Trustee with reasonable care, and (ii) may consult with counsel,
accountants and other skilled Persons to be selected with reasonable care and
employed by it. The Owner Trustee shall not be liable for anything done,
suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the written opinion
or advice of any such counsel, accountants or other such Persons and not
contrary to this Agreement or any Basic Document.

         Section 7.05. Not Acting in Individual Capacity. Except as provided
in this Article VII, in accepting the trusts hereby created, Wilmington Trust
Company acts solely as Owner Trustee hereunder and not in its individual
capacity, and all Persons having any claim against the Owner Trustee by reason
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Basic Document shall
look only to the Trust Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof.

         Section 7.06. Owner Trustee Not Liable for Trust Certificates or for
Receivables. The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Certificates
(other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the
Trust Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the
Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. Except as
set forth in Section 7.03, the Owner Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any Basic Document or of the
Trust Certificates


                                      33
<PAGE>


(other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the
Trust Certificates) or the Notes, or of any Receivable or related documents.
The Owner Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or
with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Receivable or
the perfection and priority of any security interest created by any Receivable
in any Financed Vehicle or the maintenance of any such perfection and
priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate or its
ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under
this Agreement or the Noteholders under the Indenture, including, without
limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Financed Vehicle;
the existence and enforceability of any insurance thereon; the existence and
contents of any Receivable on any computer or other record thereof; the
validity of the assignment of any Receivable to the Trust or of any
intervening assignment; the completeness of any Receivable; the performance or
enforcement of any Receivable; the compliance by the Seller, the Depositor or
the Servicer with any warranty or representation made under any Basic Document
or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or
representation, or any action of the Trust Administrator, the Indenture
Trustee, the Bond Administrator or the Servicer or any subservicer taken in
the name of the Owner Trustee.

         Section 7.07. Owner Trustee May Own Trust Certificates and Notes. The
Owner Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Trust Certificates or Notes and may deal with the Depositor, the
Trust Administrator, the Indenture Trustee, the Bond Administrator and the
Servicer in banking transactions with the same rights as it would have if it
were not Owner Trustee.

         Section 7.08. Doing Business in Other Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, neither Wilmington Trust Company
nor the Owner Trustee shall be required to take any action in any jurisdiction
other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will (i)
require the consent or approval or authorization or order of, or the giving of
notice to, or the registration with, or the taking of any other action
required by, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or
other governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction or any political
subdivisions thereof in existence on the date hereof other than the State of
Delaware becoming payable by Wilmington Trust Company or the Owner Trustee; or
(iii) subject Wilmington Trust Company or the Owner Trustee to personal
jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware for causes
of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions
by Wilmington Trust Company or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be,
contemplated hereby. The Owner Trustee shall be entitled to obtain advice of
counsel (which advice shall be an expense of the Trust under Section 8.01 of
this Agreement) to determine whether any action required to be taken pursuant
to the Agreement results in the consequences described in clauses (i), (ii)
and (iii) of the preceding sentence. In the event that said counsel advises
the Owner Trustee that such action will result in such consequences, the Owner
Trustee will appoint an additional trustee pursuant to Section 10.05 hereof to
proceed with such action.

         Section 7.09. Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and Authenticating
Agent. The rights and protections afforded to the Owner Trustee pursuant to
this Article VII and Section 8.02 shall also be afforded to the Paying Agent,
Certificate Registrar and authenticating agent.

                         COMPENSATION OF OWNER TRUSTEE

         Section 8.01. Owner Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Owner Trustee
shall receive as compensation for its services hereunder such fees as have
been separately agreed upon before the date hereof between the Depositor and
the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee shall be reimbursed for its other
reasonable expenses hereunder, including the reasonable compensation, expenses
and disbursements of such agents, representatives, experts and counsel as the
Owner Trustee may employ in connection with the exercise and performance of
its rights and its duties hereunder, in the priority set forth in Section
5.06(b) in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

         Section 8.02. Indemnification. The Issuer shall be liable as primary
obligor for, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the
Owner Trustee and its successors, assigns, agents and servants (collectively,
the "Indemnified Parties") from and against, any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, taxes, claims, actions and suits, and any and
all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable legal
fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively,
"Expenses") which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against the Owner Trustee or any Indemnified Party in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement, the Basic Documents, the Trust Estate, the
administration of the Trust Estate or the action or inaction of the Owner
Trustee hereunder, except only that the Issuer shall not be liable for or
required to indemnify an Indemnified Party from and against Expenses arising
or resulting from any of the matters described in the third sentence of
Section 7.01. The indemnities contained in this Section shall survive the
resignation or termination of the Owner Trustee or the termination of this
Agreement. In any event of any claim, action or proceeding for which indemnity
will be sought pursuant to this Section, the Owner Trustee's choice of legal
counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Issuer, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld.

         Section 8.03. Payments to the Owner Trustee. Any amounts paid
pursuant to this Article VIII shall be payable solely in the priorities set
forth in Section 5.06(b)(ii) (in the case of fees) and Section 5.06(b)(xi) (in
the case of reimbursement of expenses and any indemnification) of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and shall be deemed not to be a part of the Trust Estate
immediately after such payment.

                                  ARTICLE IX


                        TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT

         Section 9.01. Termination of Trust Agreement.

              (a) This Agreement (other than Article VIII) and the Trust shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the final distribution by
the Owner Trustee of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the Trust
Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, Article V and the Statutory Trust Statute. The bankruptcy,
liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall
not (i) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, (ii) entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or
to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of
all or any part of the Trust or Trust Estate or (iii) otherwise affect the
rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.

              (b) Except as provided in Section 9.01(a), neither the Depositor
nor any Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate the Trust.

              (c) Notice of any termination of the Trust, specifying the
Distribution Date upon which Certificateholders shall surrender their Trust
Certificates to the Paying Agent for payment of the final distribution and
cancellation, shall be given by the Owner Trustee by letter to
Certificateholders mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice of
such termination from the Servicer given pursuant to Section 9.01(b) of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, stating (i) the Distribution Date upon or with
respect to which final payment of the Trust Certificates shall be made upon
presentation and surrender of the Trust Certificates at the office of the
Paying Agent therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is
not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of
the Trust Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein specified.
The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if
other than the Owner Trustee) and the Paying Agent at the time such notice is
given to Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of the Trust
Certificates, the Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to
Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 5.02.

         In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Trust Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date
specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Owner Trustee shall give
a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Trust Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Trust
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Owner
Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take
appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Trust Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out
of the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Any
funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be
distributed by the Owner Trustee to the Depositor, subject to applicable
escheat laws.

              (d) Upon the winding up of the Trust in accordance with the
Statutory Trust Statute (including, without limitation, the reasonable
provision for payment of all obligations of the Trust in accordance with
Section 3808(e) of the Statutory Trust Statute) and the written instructions
of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate of Trust to be
cancelled by filing a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State
in accordance with the provisions of Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust
Statute. Thereupon the Trust and this Agreement (other than Article VIII)
shall terminate.

                                  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 A-1 by Standard & Poor's and P-1 by Moody's, or which is
otherwise acceptable to each Rating Agency. If such corporation shall publish
reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements
of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of
this Section, 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 Trust Administrator, the
Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Trust 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 Trust 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 Trust Administrator may remove the Owner
Trustee. If the Trust Administrator shall remove the Owner Trustee under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Trust 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.

         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 Trust Administrator shall provide
notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each Rating
Agency.


                                      38
<PAGE>


         Section 10.03. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee
appointed pursuant to Section 10.01 or 10.02 shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Trust 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
Trust 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 Trust Administrator shall mail notice thereof to all
Certificateholders, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and
the Rating Agencies. If the Trust 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 Trust.

         Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 10.03
shall promptly file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the
Secretary of State identifying the name and principal place of business of
such successor Owner Trustee in the State of Delaware.

         Section 10.04. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any
corporation into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation 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 corporation shall be eligible pursuant to
Section 10.01; and provided further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice
of such merger or consolidation to each Rating Agency; and provided, further,
that such successor Owner Trustee shall file an amendment to the Certificate
of Trust as described in Section 10.03.

         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 Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located,
the Trust 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 Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the
Owner Trustee, or as


                                      39
<PAGE>


separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the 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 Owner Trustee may
consider necessary or desirable. 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 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 Owner Trustee 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 Trust 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, 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 and the Owner Trustee, with prior written notice to
each Rating Agency, 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 and satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition with respect to such amendment, 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
and the Owner Trustee, with prior written notice to each Rating Agency, 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 and the
consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of
the Percentage Interests in 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 Receivables or distributions that shall
be required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders, the
Certificateholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes and the aforesaid Percentage Interests in the Certificates
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders
of all then-outstanding Notes and 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
Rating Agency.

         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 or Noteholders 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 execution of such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Agreement. The Owner Trustee


                                      41
<PAGE>


may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment that affects

evidencing a fractional undivided beneficial interest in the Trust, as defined

installment sale contracts secured by new and used automobiles, light-duty
trucks, vans, minivans and sport utility vehicles.

THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN INTEREST IN OR AN OBLIGATION OF
SALOMON BROTHERS REALTY CORP., SSB VEHICLE SECURITIES INC. OR ANY OF THEIR
RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES.

         THIS CERTIFIES THAT _____________ is the registered owner of
a____________ PERCENT nonassessable, fully paid, undivided percentage
beneficial interest in SSB AUTO LOAN TRUST 2002-1, a Delaware statutory trust
(the "Trust"), formed by SSB VEHICLE SECURITIES INC., a Delaware corporation
(the "Depositor").

         The Trust was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of
October 1, 2002 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Trust
Agreement"), between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner
trustee (the "Owner Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined
herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them
in the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of October
1, 2002 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Sale and
Servicing Agreement"), among the Trust, the Depositor, Salomon Brothers Realty
Corp., as seller, Systems & Services Technologies, Inc., as servicer and
custodian, Bank One, NA, as Indenture Trustee, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as
bond administrator.

         This Trust Certificate is one of the duly authorized Trust
Certificates designated as "Asset Backed Certificates" (herein called the
"Trust Certificates"). Also issued under an Indenture dated as of October 1,
2002 (the "Indenture"), among the Trust, Bank One, NA, as indenture trustee,
and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Bond Administrator, are the seven classes of Notes
designated as "1.65875% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-1", "1.83% Asset Backed
Notes, Class A-2", "2.37% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-3", "2.89% Asset Backed
Notes, Class A-4", "3.24% Asset Backed Notes, Class B", "4.13% Asset Backed
Notes, Class C" and "8.00% Asset Backed Notes, Class D" (collectively, the
"Notes"). This Trust Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the
Holder of this Trust Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents
and by which such Certificateholder is bound. The property of the Trust
consists of the Receivables and monies received thereon after September 30,
2002, security interests in the related Financed Vehicles, certain bank
accounts and the proceeds thereof, proceeds from claims on certain insurance
policies and certain other rights under the Trust Agreement and the Sale and
Servicing


                                      A-3

Agreement and all proceeds of the foregoing. The rights of the
Certificateholders are subordinate to the rights of the Noteholders, as set
forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

         Under the Trust Agreement, there will be distributed on the 15th day
of each month or, if such 15th day is not a Business Day, the next Business
Day (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on December 16, 2002, to the
Person in whose name this Trust Certificate is registered on the last day of
the immediately preceding month (the "Record Date"), such Certificateholder's
fractional undivided interest in the amount to be distributed to
Certificateholders on such Distribution Date.

         The Holder of this Trust Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its
rights to receive distributions in respect of this Trust Certificate are
subordinate to the rights of the Noteholders as described in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and the Indenture.

         It is the intent of the Depositor and the Certificateholders that,
solely for income and franchise tax purposes : (1) if there is one beneficial
owner in respect of the Trust Certificates, the Trust shall be treated as a
disregarded entity, and (2) if there is more than one beneficial owner in
respect of the Trust Certificates, the Trust 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 Trust, the partners of the
partnership being the Certificateholders, and the Notes being debt of the
partnership. A Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Certificate,
agrees to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with such treatment of the
Trust.

         A Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Certificate,
covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not at any time
institute against the Depositor or the Trust, or join in any institution
against the Depositor or the Trust of, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under
any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection
with any obligations relating to the Trust Certificates, the Notes, the Trust
Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.

         Distributions on this Trust Certificate will be made as provided in
the Trust Agreement by the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent by wire transfer
or check mailed to the Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register
without the presentation or surrender of this Trust Certificate or the making
of any notation hereon.

         Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and
notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Trust Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Trust
Certificate at the office of the Paying Agent therein specified.

         Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Trust
Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall
for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been
executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee or the authenticating
agent, by manual signature, this Trust Certificate shall not entitle the
Holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and
Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

                        [REVERSE OF TRUST CERTIFICATE]

         The Trust Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an
interest in, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Owner
Trustee or any affiliates of any of them and no recourse may be had against
such parties or their assets, except as expressly set forth or contemplated
herein or in the Trust Agreement or the Basic Documents. In addition, this
Trust Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or
instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries with respect to the Receivables (and certain other amounts), all as
more specifically set forth herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. A
copy of each of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement may
be examined by any Certificateholder upon written request during normal
business hours at the principal office of the Depositor and at such other
places, if any, designated by the Depositor.

         The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor and the rights of Certificateholders under the
Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of the Trust Certificates and the Notes, each voting as
a class, evidencing not less than a majority of the Percentage Interests in
the Certificates and the outstanding principal balance of the Notes of each
class. Any such consent by the Holder of this Trust Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this Trust
Certificate and of any Trust Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Trust Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of
the Holders of any of the Trust Certificates.

         As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Trust Certificate is registerable in
the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Trust Certificate for
registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate
Registrar designated by the Owner Trustee 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 Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Trust 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 JPMorgan Chase Bank.

         Except as provided in the Trust Agreement, the Trust Certificates are
issuable only as registered Trust Certificates. As provided in the Trust
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Trust
Certificates are exchangeable for new Trust Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as requested by the
Certificateholder 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 Trust Certificate is registered as


                                      A-7
<PAGE>


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 payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the disposition of
all property held as part of the Trust Estate. The Servicer of the Receivables
and, under certain circumstances, Certificateholders may at their option
purchase the 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 Trust Certificates; provided,
however, that such right of purchase is exercisable only as of any
Distribution Date as of which the Pool Balance is less than or equal to 5% of
the Original Pool Balance.

         The Trust 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 Trust
Certificates (each, a "Benefit Plan"). By accepting and holding this Trust
Certificate, the Holder hereof shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.

                           FORM OF INVESTMENT LETTER

Attention: Institutional Trust Services, SSB Auto Loan Trust 2002-1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         In connection with our proposed purchase of a ____% percentage
interest in the Asset Backed Certificates (the "Certificates") of SSB Auto
Loan Trust 2002-1 (the "Issuer"), we confirm that:

                  1. We understand that the Certificates have not been
         registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
         Act"), and may not be sold except as permitted in the following
         sentence. We understand and agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of
         any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, (x) that
         such Certificates are being offered only in a transaction not
         involving any public offering within the meaning of the 1933 Act and
         (y) that such Certificates may be resold, pledged or transferred only
         (i) to the Depositor, (ii) to an institutional investor that is an
         "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3) or (7) (an
         "Institutional Accredited Investor") under the 1933 Act acting for
         its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary
         or agent for others (which others also are Institutional Accredited
         Investors unless the holder is a bank acting in its fiduciary
         capacity) that executes a certificate substantially in the form
         hereof, (iii) so long as such Certificate is eligible for resale
         pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act ("Rule 144A"), to a person
         whom we reasonably believe after due inquiry is a "qualified
         institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A, acting for its own
         account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or
         agent for others (which others also are "qualified institutional
         buyers") to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer
         is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (iv) in a sale, pledge or
         other transfer made in a transaction otherwise exempt from the
         registration requirements of the 1933 Act, in which case the Owner
         Trustee shall require that both the prospective transferor and the
         prospective transferee certify to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor
         in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which


                                      D-1
<PAGE>


         certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the
         Owner Trustee and the Depositor. Except in the case of a transfer
         described in clauses (i) or (iii) above, the Owner Trustee shall
         require a written opinion of counsel (which will not be at the
         expense of the Depositor, any affiliate of the Depositor or the Owner
         Trustee) satisfactory to the Depositor and the Owner Trustee be
         delivered to the Depositor and the Owner Trustee to the effect that
         such transfer will not violate the 1933 Act, in each case in
         accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the
         United States. We will notify any purchaser of the Certificates from
         us of the above resale restrictions, if then applicable. We further
         understand that in connection with any transfer of the Certificates
         by us that the Depositor and the Owner Trustee may request, and if so
         requested we will furnish such certificates and other information as
         they may reasonably require to confirm that any such transfer
         complies with the foregoing restrictions.

                  2.                [CHECK ONE]

/ /      (a) We are an institutional investor that is an "accredited investor"
         as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3) or (7) of Regulation D under the
         1933 Act (an "Institutional Accredited Investor") acting for our own
         account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or
         agent for others (which others also are Institutional Accredited
         Investors unless we are a bank acting in its fiduciary capacity). We
         have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
         as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment
         in the Certificates, and we and any accounts for which we are acting
         are each able to bear the economic risk of our or their investment
         for an indefinite period of time. We are acquiring the Certificates
         for investment and not with a view to, or for offer and sale in
         connection with, a public distribution.

/ /      (b) We are a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule
         144A under the 1933 Act and are acquiring the Certificates for our
         own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or
         agent for others (which others also are "qualified institutional
         buyers"). We are familiar with Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and are
         aware that the seller of the Certificates and other parties intend to
         rely on the statements made herein and the exemption from the
         registration requirements of the 1933 Act provided by Rule 144A.

                  3. We are not (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in
         Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
         as amended ("ERISA")) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of
         ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the 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").
         We hereby acknowledge that no transfer of any Certificate shall be
         permitted to be made to any person unless the Owner Trustee has
         received (i) a certificate from such transferee to the effect of the
         preceding sentence, or (ii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
         Owner Trustee to the effect that the purchase and holding of any such
         Certificate will not constitute or result in the assets of the Issuer
         being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited
         transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will
         not subject the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Depositor
         to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Basic
         Documents with respect to the Certificates (provided, however, that
         the Owner


                                      D-2
<PAGE>


         Trustee will not require such certificate or opinion in the event
         that, as a result of change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory
         to the Owner Trustee has rendered an opinion to the effect that the
         purchase and holding of any such Certificate by a Benefit Plan or a
         Person that is purchasing or holding any such Certificate with the
         assets of a Benefit Plan will not constitute or result in a
         prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code).

                  4. We understand that the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the
         Issuer, Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and others will rely upon the truth
         and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and
         agreements, and we agree that if any of the acknowledgments,
         representations and warranties deemed to have been made by us by our
         purchase of the Certificates, for our own account or for one or more
         accounts as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion,
         are no longer accurate, we shall promptly notify the Depositor, the
         Owner Trustee and Salomon Smith Barney Inc.

                  5. You are entitled to rely upon this letter and you are
         irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any
         interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or
         official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

                                  Very truly yours,

                                  [NAME OF PURCHASER]
