Trust Agreement, and at the request of the Owner Trustee shall take all
appropriate action that it is the duty of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee to
take pursuant to the Related Agreements. In furtherance thereof, the Owner
Trustee shall, on behalf of itself and of the Issuer, execute and deliver to the
Owner Trust Administrator and to each successor Owner Trust Administrator
appointed pursuant to the terms hereof, one or more powers of attorney
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, appointing the Owner Trust
Administrator the attorney-in-fact of the Owner Trustee and the Issuer for the

to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

                  (ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Related
Agreements to the contrary, the Owner Trust Administrator shall be responsible
for promptly notifying the Owner Trustee in the event that any withholding tax
is imposed on the Trust's payments (or allocations of income) to an Owner as
contemplated in Section 5.02(c) of the Trust Agreement. Any such notice shall
specify the amount of any withholding tax required to be withheld by the Owner
Trustee pursuant to such provision.

                  (iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the
Related Agreements to the contrary, the Owner Trust Administrator shall be
responsible for performance of the duties of the Owner Trustee set forth in
Section 5.04(a), (b), (c) and (d), the penultimate sentence of Section 5.04 and
Section 5.05(a) of the Trust Agreement with respect to, among other things,
accounting and reports to Owners; provided, however, that the Owner Trustee

prepared by the Administrator) necessary to enable each Owner to prepare its
federal and state income tax returns.

                  (iv) The Owner Trust Administrator shall satisfy its
obligations with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) above by retaining, at the
expense of the Trust payable by the Owner Trust Administrator, a firm of
independent public accountants (the "Accountants") acceptable to the Owner
Trustee, which shall perform the obligations of the Owner Trust Administrator
thereunder. In connection with paragraph (ii) above, the Accountants will
provide prior to ___________, 2001 a letter in form and substance satisfactory
to the Owner Trustee as to whether any tax withholding is then required and, if
required, the procedures to be followed with respect thereto to comply with the
requirements of the Code. The Accountants shall be required to update the letter
in each instance that any additional tax withholding is subsequently required or
any previously required tax withholding shall no longer be required.

                  (v) The Owner Trust Administrator shall perform the duties of
the Owner Trust Administrator including, without limitation, those specified in
Sections 8.01, 8.02 and 10.02 of the Trust Agreement required to be performed in
connection with the fees, expenses and indemnification and the resignation or
removal of the Owner Trustee, and any other duties expressly required to be
performed by the Owner Trust Administrator under the Trust Agreement.

                  (vi) In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its other
obligations under this Agreement, the Owner Trust Administrator may enter into
transactions or otherwise deal with any of its affiliates; provided, however,
that the terms of any such transactions or dealings shall be in accordance with
any directions received from the Issuer and shall be, in the Owner Trust
Administrator's opinion, no less favorable to the Issuer than would be available
from unaffiliated parties.

         Indenture Trustee within seven days after the happening of such event.

                           e. No resignation or removal of the Owner Trust
Administrator pursuant to this Section shall be effective until (i) a successor
Owner Trust Administrator shall have been appointed by the Issuer and (ii) such

qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of any rating assigned to the Notes by
such Rating Agency.

Section 11. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by a
written amendment duly executed and delivered by the Issuer, the Owner Trust
Administrator and the Indenture Trustee, with the written consent of the Owner
Trustee, without the consent of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, 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 Certificateholders; provided that such amendment will not
materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder or
Certificateholder. This Agreement may also be amended by the Issuer, the Owner
Trust Administrator and the Indenture Trustee with the written consent of the
Owner Trustee and the holders of Notes evidencing at least a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class and the holders of Trust
Certificates evidencing at least a majority of the Certificate Percentage

Owner Trust Administrator unless such assignment is previously consented to in
writing by the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and subject to the satisfaction of
the Rating Agency Condition in respect thereof. An assignment with such consent
and satisfaction, if accepted by the assignee, shall bind the assignee hereunder
in the same manner as the Owner Trust Administrator is bound hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by the Owner Trust
Administrator without the consent of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee to a
corporation or other organization that is a successor (by merger, consolidation
or purchase of assets) to the Owner Trust Administrator; provided that such
successor organization executes and delivers to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee an agreement in which such corporation or other
organization agrees to be bound hereunder by the terms of said assignment in the
same manner as the Owner Trust Administrator is bound hereunder and represents
that it has the financial ability to satisfy its indemnification obligations
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trust Administrator can
transfer its obligations to any affiliate that succeeds to substantially all of
the assets and liabilities of the Owner Trust Administrator and who has
represented and warranted that it is not less creditworthy of the Owner Trust
Administrator. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any
successors or assigns of the parties hereto.

Section 13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH

PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER
SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Section 14. Headings. The section headings hereof have been inserted for
convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning,
construction or effect of this Agreement.

Section 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
of which when so executed shall be an original, but all of which together shall
constitute but one and the same agreement.

Section 16. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 17. Not Applicable to The Chase Manhattan Bank in Other Capacities.
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any obligation The Chase Manhattan Bank
may have in any other capacity.

the Issuer contained in this Agreement shall be had against any agent of the

that this Agreement is solely an obligation of the Issuer as a Delaware business
trust, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by
any agent of the Issuer (including the Owner Trust Administrator and the Owner
Trustee), as such, under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or
agreements of the Issuer contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and
that any and all personal liability for breaches by the Issuer of any such

liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official
of the Issuer or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding
