      Re: Triad Automobile Receivables Trust 2006-B

            The undersigned, a duly authorized officer of Citibank, N.A. (the
"Indenture Trustee"), hereby certifies to Financial Security Assurance Inc.
("Financial Security"), with reference to Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy
No. 51731-N dated May 25, 2006, (the "Policy") issued by Financial Security in
respect of $167,000,000 Class A-1 5.143684% Asset Backed Notes, $257,000,000
Class A-2 5.36% Asset Backed Notes, $327,500,000 Class A-3 5.41% Asset Backed
Notes, $164,000,000 Class A-4 5.52% Asset Backed Notes of the above-referenced
Trust (the "Obligations"), that:

      (i) The Indenture Trustee is the Indenture Trustee for the Holders under
the Indenture.

      (ii) The sum of all amounts on deposit (or scheduled to be on deposit) in
the Note Distribution Account and available for distribution to the Holders
pursuant to the Section 5.8 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement will be
$_________ (the "Shortfall") less than the aggregate amount of Scheduled
Payments due on ___________________.

      (iii) The Indenture Trustee is making a claim under the Policy for the
Shortfall to be applied to the payment of Scheduled Payments.

      (iv) The Indenture Trustee agrees that, following receipt of funds from
Financial Security, it shall (a) hold such amounts in trust and apply the same
directly to the payment of Scheduled Payments on the Obligations when due; (b)
not apply such funds for any other purpose; (c) not commingle such funds with
other funds held by the Indenture Trustee and (d) maintain an accurate record of
such payments with respect to each Obligation and the corresponding claim on the
Policy and proceeds thereof, and, if the Obligation is required to be
surrendered or presented for such payment, shall stamp on each such Obligation
the legend "$[insert applicable amount] paid by Financial Security and the
balance hereof has been cancelled and reissued" and then shall deliver such
Obligation to Financial Security.

      (v) The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, hereby assigns to
Financial Security the rights of the Holders with respect to the Obligations to
the extent of any payments under the Policy. Without limitation of the
foregoing, the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, hereby assigns to
Financial Security any amounts due

to the Holders in respect of securities law violations arising from the offer
and sale of the Obligations. The foregoing assignment is in addition to, and not
in limitation of, rights of subrogation otherwise available to Financial
Security in respect of such payments. Payments to Financial Security in respect
of the foregoing assignment shall in all cases be subject to and subordinate to
the rights of the Holders to receive all Scheduled Payments in respect of the
Obligations. The Indenture Trustee shall take such action and deliver such
instruments as may be reasonably requested or required by Financial Security to
effectuate the purpose or provisions of this clause (v).

      (vi) The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, hereby appoints
Financial Security as agent and attorney-in-fact for the Indenture Trustee and
each such Holder in any legal proceeding with respect to the Obligations. The
Indenture Trustee hereby agrees that, so long as an Insurer Default (as defined
in the Indenture) shall not exist, Financial Security may at any time during the
continuation of any proceeding by or against the Obligor under the United States
Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
rehabilitation or similar law (an "Insolvency Proceeding") direct all matters
relating to such Insolvency Proceeding, including without limitation, (A) all
matters relating to any claim in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding
seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer of any payment made with
respect to the Obligations (a "Preference Claim"), (B) the direction of any
appeal of any order relating to any Preference Claim at the expense of Financial
Security but subject to reimbursement as provided in the Insurance Agreement and
(C) the posting of any surety, supersedeas or performance bond pending any such
appeal. In addition, the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees that Financial Security
shall be subrogated to, and the Indenture Trustee on its behalf and on behalf of
each Holder, hereby delegates and assigns, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the rights of the Indenture Trustee and each Holder in the conduct of any
Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to
an adversary proceeding or action with respect to any court order issued in
connection with any such Insolvency Proceeding.

      (vii) Payment should be made by wire transfer directed to [SPECIFY
ACCOUNT].

      Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used in this
Notice of Claim and Certificate and not defined herein shall have the meanings
provided in the Policy.
