     or state  regulatory  body,  administrative  agency  or other  governmental
     instrumentality   having  jurisdiction  over  the  Seller  or  any  of  its
     properties.

into this Agreement,  and the Certificateholders,  by acquiring any Certificates
or interest  therein,  (i) express their  intention that the  Certificates  will
qualify as equity interests in either (A) a division of the Seller, or any other
single Person,  disregarded as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes
if all Certificates are owned solely by the Seller or by such single Person,  or
(B) as a partnership  for federal  income tax purposes if the  Certificates  are
owned by more  than  one  Person  and  (ii)  unless  otherwise  required  by the
appropriate  taxing  authorities,  agree to treat  the  Certificates  as  equity

required by  appropriate  tax  authorities,  the Trust shall file or cause to be
filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with
such characterization of the Trust for such tax purposes.

                                THE CERTIFICATES

     Section 3.1 Initial Certificate Ownership.  Upon the formation of the Trust
by the contribution by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.5 and until the issuance
of the Certificates, the Seller shall be the sole Certificateholder.

     Section 3.2 Form of the Certificates.

     (a) The  Certificates  shall be  substantially  in the  form  set  forth in
Exhibit A and shall be issued in minimum  denominations  of $20,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof;  provided,  however, that one Certificate
may  be  issued  in a  denomination  that  includes  any  residual  amount.  The
Certificates  shall represent the entire  beneficial  interest in the Trust. The
Certificates  shall be  executed  on behalf of the Trust by manual or  facsimile
signature of a Responsible  Officer of the Owner Trustee.  Certificates  bearing
the manual or facsimile  signatures  of  individuals  who were, at the time when
such  signatures  shall have been  affixed,  authorized to sign on behalf of the
Trust, shall be duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable  beneficial interests
in the Trust,  notwithstanding  that such  individuals or any of them shall have
ceased to be so  authorized  prior to the  authentication  and  delivery of such
Certificates  or did not hold such  offices  at the date of  authentication  and
delivery of such Certificates.

     (b) The Definitive Certificates shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed
or engraved or produced by any  combination  of these  methods  (with or without
steel  engraved  borders)  all as  determined  by the  officers  executing  such
Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of such Certificates.

     (c) The Certificates shall be issued in fully-registered form. The terms of
the Certificates set forth in Exhibit A shall form part of this Agreement.

     Section 3.3 Execution,  Authentication and Delivery.  Concurrently with the
sale of the  Receivables  to the Trust  pursuant to the Trust Sale and Servicing
Agreement,  the Owner  Trustee  shall  cause the  Certificates  in an  aggregate
principal  amount  equal to the  initial  Certificate  Balance to be executed on
behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of
the Seller,  signed by its  chairman  of the board,  its  president  or any vice
president,  without  further  corporate  action  by the  Seller,  in  authorized
denominations. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this
Agreement,  or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such
Certificate a certificate of authentication  substantially in the form set forth
in Exhibit A,  executed by the Owner Trustee or Bankers  Trust  Company,  as the
Owner Trustee's  authenticating agent, by manual signature.  Such authentication
shall constitute  conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder.  All Certificates shall be dated the date
of their authentication.

     Section  3.4  Registration;   Registration  of  Transfer  and  Exchange  of
Certificates.

     (a) The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office
or agency maintained  pursuant to Section 3.8, a Certificate  Register in which,
subject to such  reasonable  regulations as it may prescribe,  the Owner Trustee
shall  provide  for  the  registration  of  Certificates  and of  transfers  and
exchanges  of  Certificates  as  provided  herein;  provided,  however,  that no
Certificate   may  be  subdivided  upon  transfer  or  exchange  such  that  the
denomination  of any resulting  Certificate is less than $20,000.  Bankers Trust
Company shall be the initial  Certificate  Registrar.  Upon any resignation of a
Certificate Registrar,  the Owner Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor or,
if it elects not to make such an  appointment,  assume the duties of Certificate
Registrar.

     (b) Upon surrender for  registration  of transfer of any Certificate at the
office or agency  maintained  pursuant to Section 3.8, the Owner  Trustee  shall
execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause Bankers
Trust Company as its authenticating  agent to authenticate and deliver),  in the
name of the designated  transferee or transferees,  one or more new Certificates
in  authorized  denominations  of a like  aggregate  amount  dated  the  date of
authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent.

     (c) At the  option of a Holder,  Certificates  may be  exchanged  for other
Certificates of authorized  denominations  of a like aggregate  principal amount
upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office
maintained pursuant to Section 3.8. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered
for  exchange,  the  Owner  Trustee  shall  execute  on  behalf  of  the  Trust,
authenticate   and  deliver  (or  shall  cause  Bankers  Trust  Company  as  its
authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver) one or more Certificates dated
the date of  authentication  by the Owner Trustee or any  authenticating  agent.
Such Certificates shall be delivered to the Holder making the exchange.

     (d) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange  shall be  accompanied  by a written  instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
the Holder or his attorney duly  authorized in writing and such other  documents
and  instruments  as  may  be  required  by  Section  3.4(b).  Each  Certificate
surrendered  for  registration  of transfer or  exchange  shall be canceled  and
subsequently  destroyed  or  otherwise  disposed  of by  the  Owner  Trustee  or
Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice.

     (e) 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 and
any other  expenses  of the Owner  Trustee in  connection  with any  transfer or
exchange of Certificates.

     Section 3.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

     (a) If (i) any mutilated  Certificate  is  surrendered  to the  Certificate
Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction,  loss or theft of any Certificate,  and (ii) there is delivered
to the Certificate  Registrar,  the Owner Trustee and the Trust such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the  Certificate  Registrar or the Owner  Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser,  the Owner Trustee shall
execute  on behalf of the Trust and the Owner  Trustee  shall  authenticate  and
deliver (or shall cause  Bankers Trust  Company as its  authenticating  agent to
authenticate  and  deliver),  in exchange for or in lieu of any such  mutilated,
destroyed,  lost or stolen Certificate,  a replacement Certificate in authorized
denominations of a like aggregate principal amount;  provided,  however, that if
any such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, but not a mutilated Certificate,
shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, then instead of
issuing a replacement Certificate the Owner Trustee may pay such destroyed, lost
or stolen Certificate when so due or payable.

     (b) If,  after the  delivery  of a  replacement  Certificate  or payment in
respect of a destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate pursuant to Section 3.5(a), a
protected  purchaser  of  the  original   Certificate  in  lieu  of  which  such
replacement   Certificate   was  issued   presents  for  payment  such  original
Certificate,  the Owner  Trustee  shall be entitled to recover such  replacement
Certificate  (and any  distributions  or payments made with respect  thereto) or
such payment from the Person to whom it was  delivered or any Person taking such
replacement  Certificate from such Person to whom such  replacement  Certificate
was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser,  and
shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to
the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Owner Trustee in
connection therewith.

     (c) In connection  with the issuance of any replacement  Certificate  under
this  Section  3.5,  the Owner  Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of
such  Certificate  of a sum  sufficient  to cover any tax or other  governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses
(including  the fees and  expenses  of the  Owner  Trustee  and the  Certificate
Registrar) connected therewith.

     (d) Any  duplicate  Certificate  issued  pursuant  to this  Section  3.5 in
replacement  of any  mutilated,  destroyed,  lost or  stolen  Certificate  shall
constitute an original additional  beneficial interest in the Trust,  whether or
not the mutilated,  destroyed,  lost or stolen Certificate shall be found at any
time or be enforced by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Agreement equally and  proportionately  with any and all other Certificates duly
issued hereunder.

     (e) The provisions of this Section 3.5 are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.

     Section 3.6 Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Prior to due presentation of
a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered
in the Certificate Register as the Certificateholder of such Certificate for the
purpose  of  receiving  distributions  pursuant  to  Article V and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and neither the Owner Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     Section 3.7 Access to List of Certificateholders'  Names and Addresses. The
Owner  Trustee  shall  furnish or cause to be  furnished to the Servicer and the
Seller,  within 15 days after receipt by the Owner Trustee of a request therefor
from the Servicer or the Seller in writing, a list of the names and addresses of
the  Certificateholders  as of the most recent  Record  Date.  Each  Holder,  by
receiving and holding a Certificate,  shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold
any of the Servicer,  the Seller 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 3.8 Maintenance of Corporate Trust Office.  The Owner Trustee shall
maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or offices
or agency or agencies where  Certificates may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where  notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee
in respect of the Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served.  The Owner
Trustee initially  designates the offices of Bankers Trust Company,  Four Albany
Street, New York, New York 10006, as its principal office for such purposes. The
Owner  Trustee  shall  give  prompt  written  notice  to the  Seller  and to the
Certificateholders  of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or
any such office or agency.

     Section 3.9  Appointment of Paying Agent.  Except as otherwise  provided in
Section  5.2, the Paying Agent shall make  distributions  to  Certificateholders
from the  Certificate  Distribution  Account  pursuant  to Section 5.2 and shall
report the amounts of such  distributions to the Owner Trustee and the Servicer;
provided  that no such  reports  shall be  required so long as the Seller is the
sole  Certificateholder.  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 shall initially
be Bankers  Trust  Company,  and any  co-paying  agent  chosen by Bankers  Trust
Company,  and  acceptable to the Owner  Trustee.  Bankers Trust Company shall be
permitted  to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days'  written  notice to the Owner
Trustee. If Bankers Trust Company 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 shall hold all
sums, if any, held by it for payment to the  Certificateholders in trust for the
benefit of the


                                        8
<PAGE>

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 6.3, 6.6, 6.7 and 6.9 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,  certificate  registrar or
authenticating  agent  appointed here under.  Any reference in this Agreement to
the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying  agent unless the context  requires
otherwise.

     Section 3.10 [Reserved].

     Section 3.11 Book-Entry Certificates. Except for the Certificates issued to
the Seller,  the Certificates,  upon original  issuance,  shall be issued in the
form  of  a  printed   Certificate  or  Certificates   representing   Book-Entry
Certificates,  to be  delivered to The  Depository  Trust  Company,  the initial
Clearing Agency by or on behalf of the Trust.  Such  Certificate or Certificates
shall initially be registered on the Certificate  Register in the name of Cede &
Co., the nominee of the initial  Clearing Agency and no Certificate  Owner shall
receive a definitive Certificate  representing such Certificate Owner's interest
in such  Certificate,  except as  provided  in  Section  3.13.  Unless and until
definitive fully registered  Certificates (the "Definitive  Certificates") shall
have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.13:

          (a) the  provisions  of this  Section  3.11 shall be in full force and
     effect;

          (b) the Certificate  Registrar and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled
     to deal  with  the  Clearing  Agency  for all  purposes  of this  Agreement
     (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Certificates and
     the giving of instructions  or directions  hereunder) as the sole Holder of
     the Certificate, and shall have no obligation to the Certificate Owners;

          (c) to the extent that the  provisions  of this Section 3.11  conflict
     with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section
     3.11 shall control;

          (d) the  rights of the  Certificate  Owners  shall be  exercised  only
     through the Clearing  Agency and shall be limited to those  established  by
     law and agreements  between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency
     and/or  the  Clearing  Agency  Participants,  unless  and until  Definitive
     Certificates  are issued  pursuant to Section  3.13,  the initial  Clearing
     Agency  will  make   book-entry   transfers   among  the  Clearing   Agency
     Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest
     on the Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants;

          (e) whenever this  Agreement  requires or permits  actions to be taken
     based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Certificates evidencing
     a specified  percentage of the Voting Interests,  the Clearing Agency shall
     be deemed to represent such percentage only to


                                        9
<PAGE>

     the  extent  that  it  has  received   instructions  to  such  effect  from
     Certificate   Owners  and/or   Clearing  Agency   Participants   owning  or
     representing,  respectively,  such required  percentage of Voting Interests
     and has delivered such instructions to the Owner Trustee;

provided,  however,  that the  provisions  of this  Section  3.11  shall  not be
applicable in respect of  Certificates  issued to the Seller.  The Seller or the
Owner Trustee may set a record date for the purpose of determining  the identity
of Holders of Certificates  entitled to vote or to consent to any action by vote
as provided in this Agreement.

     Section  3.12  Notices  to  Clearing  Agency.  Whenever  a notice  or other
communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless
and until Definitive  Certificates  shall have been issued to Certificate Owners
pursuant to Section  3.13,  the Owner  Trustee  shall give all such  notices and
communications  specified  herein  to be  given  to  Certificateholders  to  the
Clearing Agency and shall have no further obligation to the Certificate Owners.

     Section 3.13 Definitive Certificates.  If (a) the Administrator advises the
Owner Trustee in writing that the Clearing  Agency is no longer  willing or able
to properly discharge its responsibilities  with respect to the Certificates and
the  Administrator  is  unable  to  locate  a  qualified   successor,   (b)  the
Administrator  at its option advises the Owner Trustee in writing that it elects
to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency, or (c) after the
occurrence  of an Event of  Default or a Servicer  Default,  Certificate  Owners
representing beneficial interests aggre gating at least a majority of the Voting
Interests  advise the  Clearing  Agency in writing  that the  continuation  of a
book-entry  system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interest
of the Certificate Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Certificate
Owners  and the Owner  Trustee  of the  occurrence  of any such event and of the
availability  of Definitive  Certificates to Certificate  Owners  requesting the
same.  Upon  surrender  to the  Owner  Trustee  of the  printed  Certificate  or
Certificates  representing  the Book-Entry  Certificates by the Clearing Agency,
accompanied by  registration  instructions,  the Owner Trustee shall execute and
authenticate the Definitive  Certificates in accordance with the instructions of
the Clearing  Agency.  Neither the  Certificate  Registrar nor the Owner Trustee
shall be  liable  for any  delay  in  delivery  of such  instruc  tions  and may
conclusively  rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such  instructions.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates,  the Owner Trustee shall recognize
the Holders of the Defini tive Certificates as Certificateholders.

     Section 3.14 Seller as  Certificateholder.  The Seller in its individual or
any other  capacity  may become the owner or  pledgee  of  Certificates  and may
otherwise  deal with the Owner  Trustee or its  Affiliates as if it were not the
Seller.

     Certificateholders;

          (e)  the  amendment,  change  or  modification  of the  Administration

                   APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES

     Section 5.1 Establishment of Certificate Distribution Account.

     (a) Except as  otherwise  provided in Section 5.2,  the  Servicer,  for the
benefit of the  Certificateholders,  shall establish and maintain in the name of
the Trust an Eligible  Deposit  Account  known as the Capital  Auto  Receivables
Asset  Trust  2001-2   Certificate   Distribution   Account  (the   "Certificate
Distribution  Account"),  bearing an additional  designation  clearly indicating
that  the  funds   deposited   therein   are  held  for  the   benefit   of  the
Certificateholders.

                                       12

<PAGE>

     (b) The Trust  shall  possess all right,  title and  interest in and to all
funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate  Distribution  Account and
in all proceeds  thereof.  Except as otherwise  provided  herein or in the Trust
Sale and Servicing  Agreement,  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 Servicer 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 and/or any investments to
such new Certificate Distribution Account.

     Section 5.2 Application of Trust Funds.

     (a) On each  Distribution  Date, the Owner Trustee shall  distribute to the
Certificate holders, on a pro rata basis, amounts equal to the amounts deposited
in the Certificate  Distribution  Account  pursuant to Sections 4.06 and 4.07 of
the Trust Sale and Servicing  Agreement on or prior to such  Distribution  Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement
or the other Basic Documents, if and for so long as Certificates representing in
the  aggregate a 100%  beneficial  interest in the Trust are held by the Seller,
(i) no Certificate  Distribution  Account shall be required to be established or
maintained  and  (ii)  all   distributions  and  payments  on  the  Certificates
(including  the final  distribution  as  contemplated  by Section 7.1(c) hereof)
required hereunder or under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be made
directly to the Seller by the Indenture  Trustee  (whether or not the Trust Sale
and Servicing  Agreement  otherwise  contemplates  deposit into the  Certificate
Distribution  Account) and the Owner  Trustee shall have no duty or liability to
see to such distribution.

     (b) On  each  Distribution  Date,  the  Owner  Trustee  shall  send to each
Certificateholder  the  statement  provided to the Owner Trustee by the Servicer
pursuant to Section  4.09(a) of the Trust Sale and  Servicing  Agreement on such
Distribution  Date  setting  forth,  among  other  things,  the  amount  of  the
distribution  allocable to Certificate Balance and to interest,  the Certificate
Balance  after giving  effect to such  distribution,  the balance of the Reserve
Account (and  amounts,  if any,  distributed  from the Reserve  Account) and the
Total Servicing Fee with respect to such Distribution Date or Monthly Period, as
applicable;  provided that no such statement shall be required to be sent by the
Owner Trustee if and for so long as the Seller is the sole Certificateholder.

     (c)  If  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 the  Certificate  holder  in  accordance  with this
Section 5.2;  provided  that the Owner  Trustee  shall not have an obligation to
withhold  any  such  amount  if  and  for so  long  as the  Seller  is the  sole
Certificateholder. The Owner Trustee is 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


                                       13
<PAGE>

(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 may in its
sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 5.2(c). If
a  Certificateholder  wishes to apply for a refund of any such  withholding tax,
the Owner Trustee shall  reasonably  cooperate  with such  Certificateholder  in
making  such claim so long as such  Certificateholder  agrees to  reimburse  the
Owner Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

     (d) If the Indenture Trustee holds escheated funds for payment to the Trust
pursuant to Section  3.3(e) of the  Indenture,  the Owner  Trustee  shall,  upon
notice from the Indenture Trustee that such funds exist, submit on behalf of the
Trust an Issuer Order to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 3.3(e) of the
Indenture instructing the Indenture Trustee to pay such funds to or at the order
of the Seller.

     Section 5.3 Method of  Payment.  Subject to Section  7.1(c),  distributions
required to be made to Certificateholders on any Distribution Date shall be made
to each  Certificateholder  of record  on the  related  Record  Date (i) by wire
transfer,  in immediately  available  funds,  to the account of such Holder at a
bank  or  other  entity  having  appropriate  facilities  therefor,  if (x)  the
Certificates are Definitive Certificates,  and such Certificateholder shall have
provided to the Certificate  Registrar appropriate written instructions at least
five Business Days prior to such Record Date and the distribution required to be
made to such  Holder  on such  Distribution  Date  exceeds  $100,000  or (y) the
Certificates are Book-Entry Certificates,  or, (ii) if neither clause (i)(x) nor
clause (i)(y) is applicable,  by check mailed to such  Certificateholder  at the
address of such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register.

     Section 5.4 Accounting and Reports to the Certificateholders,  the Internal
Revenue  Service and Others.  The Owner Trustee  shall  maintain (or cause to be
maintained)  the  books of the Trust on a  calendar  year  basis on the  accrual
method of accounting,  deliver to each Certificateholder,  as may be required by
the Code and applicable Treasury  Regulations or otherwise,  such information as
may be required to enable each  Certificateholder  to prepare its federal income
tax return,  file such tax returns relating to the Trust and make such elections
as may from time to time be required or appropriate  under any applicable  state
or federal  statute  or rule or  regulation  thereunder  so as to  maintain  the
Trust's  characterization  as an entity  described in clause (i) of Section 2.11
for  federal  income tax  purposes,  cause such tax  returns to be signed in the
manner  required by law and collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax
as described in and in accordance  with Section 5.2(c) with respect to income or
distributions  to  Certificateholders.  In the event that the  Internal  Revenue
Service were to contend  successfully  that the Trust is not a grantor trust but
is rather a  partnership  for  federal  income  tax  purposes,  the Trust  shall
allocate items of

income, gain, deduction and loss to the partners of the Trust in accordance with
their economic  interests in the Trust.  With respect to interest expense of the
Trust,  the Trust shall  allocate to the  Certificateholders  their share of the
entire amount of such interest expense.

shall sign on behalf of the Trust any and all tax  returns of the Trust,  unless
applicable law requires a  Certificateholder  to sign such  documents,  in which
case such  documents  shall be signed by the  Seller.  To the  extent one may be
required, the Seller shall be the "tax matters partner" of the Trust pursuant to
the Code.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                                THE OWNER TRUSTEE

     Section 6.1 Duties of Owner Trustee.

     (a) The Owner  Trustee  undertakes  to perform such  duties,  and only such
duties,  as are  specifically  set forth in this  Agreement  and the other Basic
Documents,  including  the  administration  of the Trust in the  interest of the
Certificateholders,  subject to the Basic  Documents and in accordance  with the
provisions of this Agreement.  No implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement.

     (b)  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to
have  discharged its duties and  responsibilities  hereunder and under the Basic
Documents  to the extent  the  Administrator  has  agreed in the  Administration
Agreement  to  perform  any act or to  discharge  any duty of the Owner  Trustee
hereunder or under any Basic Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable
for the  default or failure of the  Administrator  to carry out its  obligations
under the Administration Agreement.

     (c) In the  absence  of bad  faith  on its  part,  the  Owner  Trustee  may
conclusively rely upon  certificates or opinions  furnished to the Owner Trustee
and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement in determining the truth of
the statements and the correctness of the opinions contained therein;  provided,
however,  that the Owner  Trustee  shall  have  examined  such  certificates  or
opinions so as to determine compliance of the same with the requirements of this
Agreement.

     (d) The  Owner  Trustee  may not be  relieved  from  liability  for its own
negligent  action,  its  own  negligent  failure  to  act  or  its  own  willful
misconduct, except that:

          (i) this Section  6.1(d) shall not limit the effect of Section  6.1(a)
     or (b);


                                       15
<PAGE>

          (ii) the Owner  Trustee  shall not be liable for any error of judgment
     made in good faith by a  Responsible  Officer  unless it is proved that the
     Owner Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

          (iii) the Owner Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
     it  takes or omits to take in good  faith in  accordance  with a  direction
     received by it pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.2 or 6.4.

     (e) Subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2,  monies  received by the Owner Trustee
hereunder need not be segregated in any manner except to the extent  required by
law or the Trust Sale and Servicing  Agreement  and may be deposited  under such
general  conditions as may be prescribed by law, and the Owner Trustee shall not
be liable for any interest thereon.

     (f) The Owner  Trustee  shall not take any action that (i) is  inconsistent
with the  purposes of the Trust set forth in Section  2.3 or (ii) would,  to the
actual  knowledge of a Responsible  Officer of the Owner Trustee,  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 6.1.

     Section 6.2 Rights of Owner  Trustee.  The Owner Trustee is authorized  and
directed  to execute and deliver the Basic  Documents  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 such form as the Seller 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
Administrator  recommends  and  directs  in  writing  with  respect to the Basic
Documents.

(Delaware)  acts solely as Owner  Trustee  hereunder  and not in its  individual

Trustee  accepts  the trusts  hereby  created  and agrees to perform  its duties
hereunder with respect to such trusts but only upon the terms of this Agreement.
The Owner  Trustee  also agrees to disburse all monies  actually  received by it
constituting  part of the  Owner  Trust  Estate  upon  the  terms  of the  Basic
Documents  and  this  Agreement.  The  Owner  Trustee  shall  not be  liable  or

willful  misconduct or in the case of the  inaccuracy of any  representation  or
warranty  contained in Section 6.6 and expressly made by the Owner  Trustee.  In

or  omitted  to be  taken  by it in  accordance  with  the  instructions  of the
Administrator or any Certificateholder;

     (c) no provision of this  Agreement or any Basic Document shall require the
Owner Trustee to expend or risk funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
in the  performance of any of its rights or powers  hereunder or under any Basic
Document,  if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate  indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured or provided to it;

     (d)  under  no  circumstances   shall  the  Owner  Trustee  be  liable  for
indebtedness evidenced by or arising under any of the Basic Documents, including

character, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any of the Owner Trust
Estate or for,  or in respect  of,  the  validity  or suffi  ciency of the Basic
Documents,   the  Notes,  the  Certificates   (other  than  the  certificate  of
authentication  on the  Certificates)  or of  any  Receivables  or  any  related
documents,  and the  Owner  Trustee  shall  in no  event  assume  or  incur  any
liability,  duty or  obligation to any  Noteholder or to any  Certificateholder,
other than as expressly provided for herein and in the Basic Documents;



                                       17
<PAGE>

     (f) the Owner  Trustee shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of
the Administrator,  the Indenture Trustee,  the Seller or the Servicer under any
of the  Basic  Documents  or  otherwise  and the  Owner  Trustee  shall  have no

Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and

misconduct in the performance of any such act.

     Section 6.4 Action upon Instruction by Certificateholders.

     (a)  Subject  to  Section  4.4,  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 Section 4.5.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,  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 any
Basic Document,  or is unsure as to the application,  intent,  interpretation or
meaning of any  provision of this  Agreement or the Basic  Documents,  the Owner
Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be  appropriate  under
the circumstances) to the  Certificateholders  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 such instruction  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 instructions within ten 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  which is  consistent,
in its view, with this Agreement or the Basic


                                       18

Certificateholders,  and the Owner Trustee shall have no liability to any Person
for any such action or inaction.

     in good standing under the laws of the state of its  incorporation.  It has
     satisfied the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.13.

          (b) It has full power,  authority and legal right to execute,  deliver
     and perform this Agreement, and has taken all necessary action to authorize
     the execution, delivery and per formance by it of this Agreement.

          (c) The  execution,  delivery and  performance by it of this Agreement
     (i) shall not violate any provision of any law or regulation  governing the
     banking and trust powers of the Owner Trustee or any order, writ,  judgment
     or decree of any court,  arbitrator or governmental authority applicable to
     the  Owner  Trustee  or any of its  assets,  (ii)  shall  not  violate  any
     provision of the corporate charter or by-laws of the Owner Trustee or (iii)

     of any  lien  on any  properties  included  in the  Trust  pursuant  to the
     provisions  of  any  mortgage,  indenture,  contract,  agreement  or  other
     undertaking to which it is a party, which violation,  default or lien could
     reasonably  be expected to have a  materially  adverse  effect on the Owner
     Trustee's  performance  or ability to perform  its duties as Owner  Trustee
     under this Agreement or on the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

          (d) This  Agreement  has been duly executed and delivered by the Owner
     Trustee and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Owner
     Trustee, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability
     may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,  reorganization, or other similar
     laws  affecting  the  enforcement  of  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.

     (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  and need not
investigate  any fact or matter in any such  document.  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 the 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: may act directly or through its agents, attorneys,
custodians  or  nominees  (including  the  granting  of a power of  attorney  to
officers of Bankers  Trust  Company to execute and deliver any Basic  Documents,
Certificate,  Note or other  documents  related  thereto  on behalf of the Owner
Trustee)  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,
attorneys,  custodians  or nominees if such  agents,  attorneys,  custodians  or
nominees shall have been selected by the Owner Trustee with reasonable care; and
may consult with  counsel,  accountants  and other skilled  professionals  to be
selected with reasonable care and employed by it. The Owner Trustee shall not be

with the  opinion  or  advice of any such  counsel,  accountants  or other  such
Persons and not contrary to this Agreement or any Basic Document.

in its  individual  or any other  capacity  may  become  the owner or pledgee of
Certificates  or Notes  and may deal with the  Seller,  the  Administrator,  the

would have if it were not the Owner Trustee.

compensation for its services hereunder such fees as have been separately agreed

disbursements of such agents, custodians, nominees, representatives, experts and
external counsel as the Owner Trustee may employ in connection with the exercise
and  performance  of its rights and its duties  hereunder.  The  Servicer  shall

<PAGE>

the  provisions of Section 6.01 of the Trust Sale and Servicing  Agreement.  The
indemnities  contained  in this  Section 6.9 shall  survive the  resignation  or
termination  of the Owner  Trustee or the  termination  of this  Agreement.  Any
amounts  paid to the Owner  Trustee  pursuant to this Article VI shall be deemed
not to be a part of the Owner Trust Estate immediately after such payment.

     Section 6.10 Replacement of Owner Trustee.

     (a) The  Owner  Trustee  may give  notice of its  intent  to resign  and be
discharged  from the  trusts  hereby  created  by giving  notice  thereof to the
Administrator provided that no such resignation shall become effective,  and the
Owner Trustee shall not resign,  prior to the time set forth in Section 6.10(c).
If no successor  Owner  Trustee  shall have been  appointed  pursuant to Section
6.10(b) and have  accepted such  appointment  within 30 days after the giving of
such  notice,  the Owner  Trustee  giving such notice may  petition any court of
competent  jurisdiction  for the appointment of a successor  Owner Trustee.  The
Administrator shall remove the Owner Trustee if:

          (i) the Owner Trustee  shall cease to be eligible in  accordance  with
     the  provisions  of  Section  6.13 and shall fail to resign  after  written
     request therefor by the Administrator;

          (ii) the Owner Trustee shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

          (iii) a receiver or other  public  officer  shall be appointed or take
     charge or control of the Owner  Trustee or of its  property  or affairs for
     the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; or

          (iv) the Owner Trustee shall otherwise be incapable of acting.

     (b) If the Owner Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed
or if a  vacancy  exists in the  office  of Owner  Trustee  for any  reason  the
Administrator  shall  promptly  appoint a  successor  Owner  Trustee  by written
instrument, in duplicate (one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
outgoing  Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor  Owner Trustee)
and shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

     (c) Any  resignation  or removal of the Owner Trustee and  appointment of a
successor  Owner Trustee  pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.10
shall  not  become  effective  and no such  resignation  shall be deemed to have
occurred until a written acceptance of appointment is delivered by the successor
Owner Trustee to the outgoing Owner Trustee and the  Administrator  and all fees
and expenses due to the outgoing  Owner Trustee are paid.  Any  successor  Owner
Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall be eligible to act in such
capacity in  accordance  with Section 6.13 and,  following  compliance  with the
preceding  sentence,  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 Administrator shall provide notice
of such  resignation  or  removal  of the Owner  Trustee  to each of the  Rating
Agencies.

<PAGE>


     (d) 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.  The  Administrator  and the predecessor
Owner  Trustee  shall  execute and deliver  such  instruments  and do such other
things  as may  reasonably  be  required  for fully and  certainly  vesting  and
confirming in the successor  Owner Trustee all such rights,  powers,  duties and
obligations.

     (e) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to
this Section 6.10, the Administrator  shall mail notice of the successor of such
Owner Trustee to all Certificateholders,  the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders
and the Rating Agencies.

     Section  6.11 Merger or  Consolidation  of Owner  Trustee.  Any Person into
which the Owner  Trustee  may be merged  or  converted  or with  which it may be
consolidated,   or  any  Person   resulting  from  any  merger,   conversion  or
consolidation  to which  the  Owner  Trustee  shall be a  party,  or any  Person
succeeding to all or  substantially  all of the corporate  trust business of the
Owner Trustee,  shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder,  provided
such  Person  shall be  eligible  pursuant  to Section  6.13,  and  without  the
execution or filing of any  instrument  or any further act on the part of any of
the parties hereto; provided,  however, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice
of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies.

     Section 6.12 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

     (a)  Notwithstanding  any other provisions of this Agreement,  at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal  requirement of any  jurisdiction  in which
any part of the Owner Trust  Estate or any  Financed  Vehicle may at the time be
located,  the  Administrator  and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall, at the
expense  of the  Servicer,  have the  power and  shall,  at the  expense  of the
Servicer,  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 separate  trustee or  trustees,  of all or any part of the Owner
Trust Estate,  and to vest in such Person,  in such capacity,  such title to the
Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section
6.12, such powers, duties,  obligations,  rights and trusts as the Administrator
and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.  If the Administrator
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it
of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment.  No co-trustee or separate  trustee under this  Agreement  shall be
required to meet the terms of  eligibility  as a successor  trustee  pursuant to
Section  6.13 and no notice of the  appointment  of any  co-trustee  or separate
trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 6.10.

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

          (i) all rights,  powers,  duties and obligations  conferred or imposed
     upon the Owner Trustee  shall be conferred  upon and exercised or performed
     by the Owner Trustee


                                       22
<PAGE>

     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 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;

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

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

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

     (d) 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 trustee.

                         TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT

     Section 7.1 Termination of Trust Agreement.

     (a) This Agreement  (other than Section 6.9) and the Trust shall  terminate
in  accordance  with  Section 3808 of the  Business  Trust  Statute and be of no
further  force or effect on the final  distribution  by the Owner Trustee of all
monies or other  property or proceeds  of the Owner Trust  Estate in  accordance
with  the  terms of the  Indenture,  the  Trust  Sale  and  Servicing  Agreement
(including  the  exercise  by  the  Servicer  of  its  option  to  purchase  the
Receivables  pursuant  to  Section  8.01(a)  of the  Trust  Sale  and  Servicing
Agreement), the Interest Rate Swaps and Article V. The bankruptcy,  liquidation,
dissolution,  death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (x) operate
to terminate this Agreement or the Trust,  (y) 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 the Owner Trust Estate or (z) otherwise affect the rights,  obligations
and liabilities of the parties hereto.

     (b)  Neither  the Seller nor any  Certificateholder  shall be  entitled  to
revoke or terminate the Trust or this Agreement.

     (c)  Subject to Section  5.2(a),  notice of any  termination  of the Trust,
specifying  the  Distribution  Date  upon  which  the  Certificateholders  shall
surrender  their  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  8.01(c) of the Trust
Sale and Servicing  Agreement,  stating:  (i) the Distribution Date upon or with
respect  to  which  final  payment  of  the  Certificates  shall  be  made  upon
presentation and surrender of the 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
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  Certificates,  the
Paying  Agent  shall  cause  to be  distributed  to  Certificateholders  amounts
distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.2.


                                       24
<PAGE>


     (d) If all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates
for  cancellation  within six months  after the date  specified  in the  written
notice  referred to in Section  7.1(c),  the Owner  Trustee  shall give a second
written  notice  to  the  remaining   Certificateholders   to  surrender   their
Certificates for cancellation  and receive the final  distribution  with respect
thereto.  If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates  shall
not  have  been  surrendered  for  cancellation,  the  Owner  Trustee  may  take
appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact
the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and
the cost  thereof  shall be paid out of the funds and other  assets  that  shall
remain  subject to this  Agreement.  Subject to applicable  laws with respect to
escheat of funds,  any funds  remaining  in the Trust after  exhaustion  of such
remedies in the preceding  sentence  shall be deemed  property of the Seller and
distributed by the Owner Trustee to the Seller, and the Owner Trustee shall have
no further liability to the Certificateholders with respect thereto.

     (e) Upon the winding up and  termination  of the Trust in  accordance  with
Section 3808 of the Business  Trust Statute and this Section,  the Owner Trustee
shall cause the  Certificate  of Trust to be canceled by filing a certificate of
cancellation  with the Secretary of State in accordance  with the  provisions of
Section 3810 of the Business Trust Statute.

Document,  (iii) add or supplement any credit enhancement for the benefit of the

interests of any class of the Noteholders or the  Certificateholders),  (iv) add

Amount of the Notes as of the close of the preceding  Distribution  Date and the
consent  of  Certificateholders  whose  Certificates  evidence  not less  than a
majority of the Voting  Interests as of the close of the preceding  Distribution

any other provision of this  Agreement,  shall be conclusive and binding on such
Person and on all future holders of such Notes or Certificates  and of any Notes
or Certificates  issued upon the transfer  thereof or in exchange  thereof or in
lieu  thereof  whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Notes or
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

Receivables  or  distributions  that shall be required to be made on any Note or
Certificate,  the Pass Through Rate or the Specified  Reserve Account Balance or
(b) reduce the aforesaid  percentage  required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the holders of all Notes and all of the Voting  Interests

notice to each of the Rating Agencies prior to obtaining consent to any proposed
amendment under this Section 8.2.

     Section 8.3 Form of Amendments.

     (a) Promptly  after the execution of any  amendment,  supplement or consent
pursuant  to  Section  8.1 or 8.2,  the  Owner  Trustee  shall  furnish  written
notification   of  the   substance   of  such   amendment  or  consent  to  each
Certificateholder and the Indenture Trustee.

     (b) It shall not be necessary  for the consent of  Certificateholders,  the
Noteholders  or the  Indenture  Trustee  pursuant  to Section 8.2 to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient
if such consent  shall approve the  substance  thereof.  The manner of obtaining
such consents (and any other consents of Certificateholders provided for in this
Agreement or in any other Basic Document) and of evidencing the authorization of
the execution thereof by Certificateholders  shall be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Owner Trustee may prescribe.

     (c) 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.

Certificate  of Trust,  the Owner  Trustee  shall be  entitled  to  receive  and
conclusively  rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
amendment is authorized or permitted by this  Agreement.  The Owner Trustee may,
but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such  amendment  which affects the
Owner  Trustee's  own  rights,  duties or  immunities  under this  Agreement  or
otherwise.

and each  Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, by accepting a Certificate (or
interest  therein) issued  hereunder,  hereby covenant and agree that they shall

that is one year and one day  after  the  termination  of the  Trust and of each
other trust heretofore  formed by the Seller,  acquiesce,  petition or otherwise
invoke  or cause the  Seller  or the Trust to invoke in any court or  government
authority  for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Seller
or the Trust under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or
appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or
other similar official of the Seller or the Trust or any substantial part of its
property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller

(or any  interest  therein)  acknowledges  that such  Person's  Certificate  (or
interest therein) represents beneficial interests in the Trust only and does not

performance  of, or omission to perform,  any  obligations  or  indemnifications

(or  beneficial  interest  therein)  agrees except as expressly  provided in the
Basic  Documents,  in the event of nonpayment of any amounts with respect to the
Certificates,  it shall have no claim against any of the  foregoing  Persons for
any deficiency,  loss or claim therefrom. In the event that any of the foregoing
covenants of each  Certificateholder  and Certificate Owner is prohibited by, or
declared illegal or otherwise  unenforceable against any such  Certificateholder
or Certificate  Owner under  applicable  law by any court or other  authority of
competent  jurisdiction,  and, as a result, a  Certificateholder  or Certificate
Owner is deemed to have an interest in any assets of the Seller or any Affiliate
of the Seller other

     Capital Auto Receivables,  Inc.,  General Motors Acceptance  Corporation or

     The Trust was created pursuant to a trust  agreement,  dated as of June 15,
2001  (as  amended  and  restated  as of  June  26,  2001  and  as  amended  and
supplemented from time to time, the "Trust  Agreement"),  between the Seller and
Bankers Trust (Delaware),  as owner trustee (the "Owner Trustee"),  a summary of
certain of the pertinent  provisions of which is set forth below.  To the extent
not  otherwise  defined  herein,  the  capitalized  terms used  herein  have the
meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement.

     This Certificate is one of the duly authorized  Certificates  designated as
"Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates" (the "Certificates"). This Certificate
is issued under and is subject to the terms,  provisions  and  conditions of the
Trust  Agreement,  the terms of which are  incorporated  herein by reference and
made a part hereof,  to which Trust Agreement the holder of this  Certificate by
virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound.

     Under the Trust  Agreement,  there shall be  distributed on the 15th day of
each month or, if such 15th day is not a Business  Day, the next  Business  Day,
commencing  on July 16, 2001 (each,  a  "Distribution  Date"),  to the person in
whose name this Certificate is registered on the related Record Date (as defined
below), such Certificateholder's  fractional undivided interest in the amount of
interest  on  and  distributions  in  respect  of  Certificate   Balance  to  be
distributed to Certificate holders on such Distribution Date; provided, however,
Certificateholders  shall not  receive  payments  in respect of the  Certificate
Balance  until all the  Notes  have been  paid (or  provided  for) in full.  The
"Record Date," with respect to any Distribution  Date, means the last day of the
preceding Monthly Period.

     The  distributions  in respect of Certificate  Balance and interest on this
Certificate are payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America
as at the time of payment  is legal  tender  for  payment of public and  private
debts. All payments made by the Trust with respect to this Certificate  shall be
applied first to interest due and payable on this  Certificate as provided above
and then to the unpaid  distributions in respect of Certificate  Balance of this
Certificate.

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

     It  is  the   intent   of  the   Seller,   the   Owner   Trustee   and  the
Certificateholders  that, for purposes of federal income, state and local income
and franchise  taxes,  Michigan  single business tax and any other taxes imposed
upon,  measured by or based upon gross or net income, the Trust shall be treated
as either  (A) a  division  of the  Seller,  or any  other  single  Person,  and
disregarded as a separate  entity,  if all  Certificates are owned solely by the
Seller or by such single Person,  or (B) a partnership if the  Certificates  are
owned by more than one  Person.  Except as  otherwise  required  by  appropriate
taxing authorities, the Seller and the other Certificateholders by acceptance of
a  Certificate  agree to  treat,  and to take no  action  inconsistent  with the
treatment of, the Certificates


                                        2
<PAGE>


for such tax purposes as interests in such a disregarded  entity or  partnership
as described in the previous sentence.

     Each  Certificateholder  or  Certificate  Owner  by  its  acceptance  of  a
Certificate   (or  an  interest   therein)   covenants   and  agrees  that  such
Certificateholder  shall  not,  prior to the date  which is one year and one day
after the termination of the Trust,  acquiesce,  petition or otherwise invoke or
cause  the  Seller  or the  Trustee  to  invoke  the  process  of any  court  or
governmental  authority  for the  purpose of  commencing  or  sustaining  a case
against  the  Seller or the  Trustee  under  any  federal  or state  bankruptcy,
insolvency,  reorganization or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator,
assignee,  trustee,  custodian,  sequestrator  or other similar  official of the
Seller or the Trustee or any substantial  part of its property,  or ordering the
winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller or the Trustee.

     Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement,  distributions on this
Certificate  shall be made as  provided  in the  Trust  Agreement  by the  Owner

                             REVERSE OF CERTIFICATE


     The  Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the
Seller, the Servicer,  General Motors  Corporation,  the Indenture Trustee,  the
Owner  Trustee  or any  affiliates  of any of them  and no  recourse  may be had
against such parties or their  assets,  except as may be expressly  set forth or
contemplated  herein  or in the  Trust  Agreement  or the  Basic  Documents.  In
addition,  this  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 Trust Agreement and the Trust Sale
and  Servicing  Agreement.  A copy of  each  of the  Trust  Sale  and  Servicing
Agreement and the Trust  Agreement may be examined  during normal business hours
at the  principal  office  of the  Seller,  and at such  other  places,  if any,
designated by the Seller, by any Certificateholder upon written request.

     The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided,  the
amendment  thereof and the  modification  of the rights and  obligations  of the
Seller and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement at any
time by the Seller and the Owner  Trustee with the consent of the Holders of the
Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
as of  the  close  of  the  preceding  Distribution  Date  and  the  consent  of
Certificateholders  whose Certificates  evidence not less than a majority of the
Voting  Interests as of the close of the preceding  Distribution  Date. Any such
consent by the Holder of this  Certificate  shall be  conclusive  and binding on
such holder and on all future Holders of this Certificate and of any 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  Certificate.  The Trust
Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances,  without
the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates or the Notes.

     As  provided  in the Trust  Agreement  and  subject to certain  limitations
therein set forth,  the  transfer of this  Certificate  is  registerable  in the
Certificate  Register upon surrender of this  Certificate  for  registration  of
transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate  Registrar  maintained by
the Owner Trustee in 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 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 Bankers Trust Company, New York, New York.

     The Book-Entry  Certificates  are issuable only as registered  Certificates
without coupons in denominations  of $20,000 or integral  multiples of $1,000 in
excess  thereof;  provided,  however,  that one  Certificate  may be issued in a
denomination  that  includes  any  residual  amount.  As  provided  in the Trust
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates


                                        1
<PAGE>

are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the
same aggregate  denomination,  as requested by the Holder surrendering the same;
provided,  however,  that  no  Certificate  may  be  subdivided  such  that  the
denomination  of any  resulting  Certificate  is less than  $20,000.  No service
charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,  but the
Owner  Trustee  or  the  Certificate  Registrar  may  require  payment  of a sum
sufficient  to  cover  any tax or  governmental  charge  payable  in  connection
therewith.

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

     The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the
Trust created  thereby shall  terminate in accordance  with Article VII of Trust
Agreement.
