<PAGE>

to and under the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables and (a) in
the case of Receivables that are Scheduled Interest Receivables, all monies due
thereunder on and after the Cutoff Date and (b) in the case of Receivables that

instrument relating to any of them.

                  (d) Within two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date, GMAC

until the Distribution Date immediately following the Closing Date.

transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuer pursuant to this
Agreement and the related Second Step Receivables Assignment, GMAC, as Custodian
under the Custodian Agreement, agrees to act as Custodian thereunder for the
benefit of the Issuer. The Issuer hereby accepts and agrees to the terms and
provisions of the Custodian Agreement and designates GMAC as custodian with
respect to the Receivables Files.

         Section 2.03 Acceptance by Issuer.The Issuer does hereby accept all
consideration conveyed by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.01(a), and declares
that the Issuer shall hold such consideration upon the trust set forth in the
Trust Agreement for the benefit of Certificateholders, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Indenture, this Agreement and the related Second Step
Receivables Assignment and the rights of the Noteholders with respect thereto.
The Issuer hereby agrees to and accepts the appointment and authorization of
GMAC as Servicer under Section 3.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The
parties agree that this Agreement, the Second Step Receivables Assignment, the
Indenture, the Trust Agreement, the Notes and the Certificates constitute the
Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements for purposes of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and that the rights, duties and obligations of GMAC as
Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are subject to the provisions
of Sections 6.02, 6.04, 6.05, 9.01 and Article VII hereof.

         Section 2.04 Representations and Warranties as to the
Receivables.Pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(v), the Seller assigns to the Issuer all
of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Such assigned right, title and interest includes the benefit of
representations and warranties of GMAC made to the Seller pursuant to Section
4.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller hereby represents and
warrants to the Issuer that the Seller has taken no action which would cause
such representations and warranties of GMAC to be false in any material respect
as of the Closing Date. The Seller further acknowledges that the Issuer and its
permitted assignees rely on the representations and warranties of the Seller
under this Agreement and of GMAC under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in
accepting the Receivables in trust and executing and delivering the Notes and
the Certificates. The foregoing representation and warranty speaks as of the
Closing Date, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the
Receivables to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to the Indenture.

         Section 2.05 Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Warranty.Upon
discovery by the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties in Section 4.01
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or in Section 2.04 or Section 3.01 of
this Agreement that materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Noteholders or the Certificateholders in any Receivable, the party discovering
such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the others. As of the
last day of the second Monthly Period following its discovery or its receipt of
notice of breach (or, at the Seller's election, the last day of the first
Monthly Period following such discovery), unless such breach shall have been
cured in all material respects, in the event of a breach of the representations
and warranties made by the Seller in Section 2.04 or Section 3.01, the Seller
shall repurchase, or in the event of



                                       3
<PAGE>

a breach of a representation and warranty under Section 4.01 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Seller and the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to
enforce the obligation of GMAC under Section 5.04 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement to repurchase such Receivable from the Issuer on the related
Distribution Date. The repurchase price to be paid by the breaching party (the
"Warranty Purchaser") shall be an amount equal to the Warranty Payment
calculated as of the last day of the related Monthly Period. Upon repurchase and
payment of such Warranty Payment, the Warranty Purchaser shall be entitled to
receive the Released Warranty Amount, if any. It is understood and agreed that
the obligation of the Warranty Purchaser to repurchase any Receivable as to
which a breach has occurred and is continuing, and the obligation of the Seller
and the Servicer to enforce GMAC's obligation to repurchase such Receivables
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall, if such obligations are
fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Seller, the Servicer or GMAC
for such breach available to the Issuer, the Financial Parties, the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee. The Servicer also acknowledges its obligations
to repurchase Administrative Receivables from the Issuer pursuant to Section
3.08 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

         Section 2.06 Realization Upon Liquidating Receivables.The Servicer
shall use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary servicing
procedures, to repossess or take other similar action with respect to any
Financed Vehicle that it has reasonably determined should be repossessed or
otherwise converted following a default under the Receivable secured by the
Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is authorized to follow such practices, policies
and procedures as it customarily follows with respect to comparable automotive
receivables that it services for itself or others, which practices, policies and
procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to
Dealers, selling the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale and the
taking of other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a
Receivable. The Servicer is hereby authorized to exercise its discretion
consistent with its customary servicing procedures and the terms of the Basic
Documents, in servicing Liquidating Receivables so as to maximize the net
collection of those Liquidating Receivables. The Servicer shall not be liable
for any such exercise of its discretion made in good faith and in accordance
with such servicing procedures. The foregoing is subject to the provision that,
in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the
Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the
repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its
discretion and in accordance with such servicing procedures that such repair
and/or repossession shall increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related
Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer
shall be entitled to receive Liquidation Expenses with respect to each
Liquidating Receivable at such time as the Receivable becomes a Liquidating
Receivable

                                   ARTICLE III
                                   THE SELLER

         Section 3.01 Representations of Seller.The Seller makes the following

issuing the Notes and the Certificates. The following representations in clause

transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuer.

authorized by the Seller by all necessary corporate action;

                           (iv) Valid Sale; Binding Obligations. This Agreement
and the Second Step Receivables Assignment, when duly executed and delivered,
shall constitute a valid sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables,
enforceable against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller; and the Basic
Documents to which the Seller is a party, when duly executed and delivered,
shall constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Seller enforceable
in accordance with their 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;

                           (v) No Violation; Consents. The consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Seller is a party

order, rule or regulation applicable to the Seller of any court or of any
federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental
instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or any of its properties;
and

                           (vi) No Proceedings. To the Seller's knowledge, there
are no proceedings or investigations pending, or threatened, before any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental
instrumentality having jurisdiction over

affect the performance by the Seller of its obligations under, or the validity
or enforceability of, any Basic Document, or (iv) seeking to adversely affect

                  (b) Representations and Warranties as to the Receivables.

                           (i) Good Title. No Receivable has been sold,
transferred, assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than the

real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, shall, at the Servicer's
expense, take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce the
Receivable, including bringing suit in the name of such Person or the names of

Opinion of Counsel to the Seller delivered to the Indenture Trustee, in order to
perfect the interests created by this Section 4.07 and otherwise fully to

         Section 5.01 Establishment of Accounts.

                  (a) (i) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Financial
Parties, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an
Eligible Deposit Account known as the



                                       15
<PAGE>

Capital Auto Receivables Asset Trust 2006-1 Collection Account (the "Collection
Account"), bearing an additional designation clearly indicating that the funds
deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Financial Parties.

                           (ii) The Servicer, for the benefit of the
Noteholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee
an Eligible Deposit Account known as the Capital Auto Receivables Asset Trust
2006-1 Note Distribution Account (the "Note Distribution Account"), bearing an
additional designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are
held for the benefit of the Noteholders.

                           (iii) [Intentionally Omitted].

                           (iv) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Obligors,
shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an account
known as the Capital Auto Receivables Asset Trust 2006-1 Payment Ahead Servicing
Account (the "Payment Ahead Servicing Account"). The Payment Ahead Servicing
Account shall not be property of the Issuer.

                  (b) (i) Each of the Designated Accounts and the Payment Ahead
Servicing Account shall be initially established with the Indenture Trustee. At
any time after the Closing Date, the Servicer, upon thirty (30) days written
notice to the Indenture Trustee or other Account Holder, shall have the right to
instruct an Account Holder to transfer any or all of the Designated Accounts or
the Payment Ahead Servicing Account to another Eligible Institution designated
by the Servicer in such notice. No Designated Account nor the Payment Ahead
Servicing Account shall be maintained with an Account Holder if the short-term
debt obligations of such Account Holder cease to have the Required Deposit
Rating (except that any Designated Account, but not the Payment Ahead Servicing
Account, may be maintained with an Account Holder even if the short-term debt
obligations of such Account Holder do not have the Required Deposit Rating, if
such Account Holder maintains such Designated Account in its corporate trust
department). Should the short-term unsecured debt obligations of an Account
Holder no longer have the Required Deposit Rating, then the Servicer shall,
within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed thirty (30)
calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency shall consent), with the Indenture
Trustee's assistance as necessary, cause each affected Designated Account or
Payment Ahead Servicing Account (A) to be moved to an Account Holder that is an
Eligible Institution or (B) with respect to the Designated Accounts only, to be
moved to the corporate trust department of the Account Holder. All amounts held
in Designated Accounts and the Payment Ahead Servicing Account (including
amounts, if any, which the Servicer is required to remit daily to the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 5.02) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
laws, rules and regulations, be invested, at the written direction of the
Servicer, by such Account Holder in Eligible Investments. Such written direction
shall constitute certification by the Servicer that any such investment is
authorized by this Section 5.01. Funds deposited in the Reserve Account shall be
invested in Eligible Investments which mature (i) prior to the next Distribution
Date or (ii) at such later date as shall be otherwise permitted by the Rating
Agencies. Investments in Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the
Indenture Trustee or its nominee, and such investments shall not be sold or
disposed of prior to their maturity; provided, however, that Notes held in the
Reserve Account may be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity so long as
(x) the Servicer directs the Indenture Trustee to make such sale or disposition,
(y) the Indenture Trustee gives reasonable prior notice of such



                                       16
<PAGE>

disposition to the Administrator and (z) such Notes are sold at a price equal to
or greater than the unpaid principal balance thereof if, following such sale,
the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account would be less than the Specified
Reserve Account Balance. Investment Earnings on funds deposited in the
Designated Accounts and the Payment Ahead Servicing Account shall be payable to
the Servicer. Each Account Holder holding a Designated Account as provided in
this Section 5.01(b)(i), shall be a "Securities Intermediary." If a Securities
Intermediary shall be a Person other than the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer
shall obtain the express agreement of such Person to the obligations of the
Securities Intermediary set forth in this Section 5.01 and an Opinion of Counsel
that such Person can perform such obligations.

                           (ii) With respect to the Designated Account Property,
the Account Holder agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that:

                                    (A) Any Designated Account Property that is
held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in Eligible Deposit Accounts. The
Designated Accounts are accounts to which Financial Assets will be credited.

                                    (B) All securities or other property
underlying any Financial Assets credited to the Designated Accounts shall be
registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the
Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account
maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any
Financial Asset credited to any of the Designated Accounts be registered in the
name of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Seller, payable to the order of the
Issuer, the Servicer or the Seller or specially indorsed to the Issuer, the
Servicer or the Seller except to the extent the foregoing have been specially
indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.

                                    (C) All property delivered to the Securities
Intermediary pursuant to this Agreement will be credited upon receipt of such
property to the appropriate Designated Account.

                                    (D) Each item of property (whether
investments, investment property, Financial Asset, security, instrument or cash)
credited to a Designated Account shall be treated as a "financial asset" within
the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC.

                                    (E) If at any time the Securities
Intermediary shall receive any order from the Indenture Trustee directing
transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Designated
Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such order without
further consent by the Trust, the Servicer, the Seller or any other Person.

                                    (F) The Designated Accounts shall be
governed by the laws of the State of New York, regardless of any provision in
any other agreement. For purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the
Securities Intermediary's jurisdiction and the Designated Accounts (as well as
the Security Entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the
State of New York.

                                    (G) The Securities Intermediary has not
entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into,
any agreement with any other Person relating to the Designated Accounts and/or
any Financial Assets or other property credited



                                       17
<PAGE>

thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as
defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) of such other Person and the
Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this
Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with the Issuer, the Seller, the
Servicer, the Account Holder or the Indenture Trustee purporting to limit or
condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with
entitlement orders as set forth in Section 5.01(b)(ii)(E) hereof.

                                    (H) Except for the claims and interest of
the Indenture Trustee in the Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary
has no actual knowledge of claims to, or interests in, the Designated Accounts
or in any Financial Asset credited thereto. If any other Person asserts any
Lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment,
warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Designated
Accounts or in any Financial Asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary
will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Issuer thereof.

                                    (I) The Securities Intermediary will
promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence
concerning the Designated Accounts and/or any Designated Account Property
simultaneously to each of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, at the
addresses set forth in Appendix B to this Agreement.

                                    (J) The Account Holder shall maintain each
item of Designated Account Property in the particular Designated Account to
which such item originated and shall not commingle items from different
Designated Accounts.

                           (iii) The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by
the Indenture Trustee (or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture
Trustee) to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from
the Designated Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer or the Owner
Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture
Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.

                           (iv) The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right,
title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in the
Designated Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (except Investment Earnings).
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Indenture, the Designated Accounts
shall be under the exclusive dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for
the benefit of the Securityholders and the Indenture Trustee shall have sole
signature power and authority with respect thereto.

                           (v) The Servicer shall not direct the Account Holder
to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in any of the
Designated Accounts unless the security interest granted and perfected in such
account shall continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of
such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in
connection with any direction to the Account Holder to make any such investment
or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall deliver to
the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee, to such effect.

                  (c) [Intentionally Omitted].



                                       18
<PAGE>

                  (d) The Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Securities
Intermediary, the Account Holder and each other Eligible Deposit Institution
with whom a Designated Account is maintained waives any right of set-off,
counterclaim, security interest or bankers' lien to which it might otherwise be
entitled.

                  (e) At any time that each Monthly Remittance Condition is
satisfied, then (x) Payments Ahead need not be remitted to and deposited in the
Payment Ahead Servicing Account but instead may be remitted to and held by the
Servicer and (y) the Servicer shall not be required to segregate or otherwise
hold separate any Payments Ahead, but the Servicer shall be required to remit
Applied Payments Ahead to the Collection Account in accordance with Section
4.06(b)(ii). The Servicer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee if any
Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to be satisfied such that the Payments Ahead
will not be remitted in accordance with the prior sentence. Commencing with the
first day of the first Monthly Period that begins at least two (2) Business Days
after the day on which any Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to be satisfied,
the Servicer shall deposit in the Payment Ahead Servicing Account the amount of
any Payments Ahead then held by it, and thereafter, for so long as a Monthly
Remittance Condition continues to be unsatisfied, the Servicer shall deposit any
additional Payments Ahead in the Payments Ahead Servicing Account within two (2)
Business Days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Monthly
Remittance Condition is unsatisfied the Servicer may utilize, with respect to
the Payments Ahead, an alternative remittance schedule (which may include a
remittance schedule utilized by the Servicer at a time when the Monthly
Remittance Conditions were satisfied), if the Servicer provides to the Indenture
Trustee written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such alternative
remittance schedule will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal by the
Rating Agencies of the ratings then assigned to either the Notes or the
Certificates. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee shall be
deemed to have knowledge of any Servicer Default unless such trustee has
received notice of such event or circumstance from the other trustee, the Seller
or the Servicer in an officer's certificate or from Certificateholders whose
Certificates evidence not less than 25% of the Voting Interests as of the close
of the preceding Distribution Date or from Noteholders whose Notes evidence not
less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes as of the close of the
preceding Distribution Date or unless a Responsible Officer in the Corporate
Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee with knowledge hereof and familiarity
herewith has actual knowledge of such event or circumstance.

         Section 5.02 Collections.If a Monthly Remittance Condition is not
satisfied, commencing with the first day of the first Monthly Period that begins
at least two (2) Business Days after the day on which any Monthly Remittance
Condition ceases to be satisfied, the Servicer shall remit to the Collection
Account all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors (including Payments Ahead
in accordance with Section 5.01(e)) on the Receivables and all Liquidation
Proceeds within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a Monthly Remittance Condition is unsatisfied, the Servicer may
utilize an alternative remittance schedule (which may include a remittance
schedule utilized by the Servicer at a time when the Monthly Remittance
Conditions were satisfied), if the Servicer provides to the Indenture Trustee
written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such alternative remittance
schedule will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal by the Rating Agencies
of the ratings then assigned to the Notes or the Certificates. At all times when
all Monthly Remittance Conditions are satisfied, the Servicer (i) shall not be
required to segregate or otherwise hold separate any Payments Ahead remitted to
the Servicer and (ii) shall remit



                                       19
<PAGE>

collections received during a Monthly Period to the Collection Account in
immediately available funds on or before the related Distribution Date (or in
the case of amounts payable to the Swap Counterparty pursuant to Section
4.06(c)(ii), if any, on or before the Business Day preceding the Distribution
Date).

         Section 5.03 Investment Earnings and Supplemental Servicing Fees. The
Servicer shall be entitled to receive all Investment Earnings and Supplemental
Servicing Fees when and as paid without any obligation to the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee or the Seller in respect thereof. The Servicer will have no
obligation to deposit any such amount in any account established hereunder. To
the extent that any such amount shall be held in any account held by the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, or otherwise established hereunder, such
amount will be withdrawn therefrom and paid to the Servicer upon presentation of
a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer setting forth, in
reasonable detail, the amount of such Investment Earnings or Supplemental
Servicing Fees.

         Section 5.04 Monthly Advances.

                  (a) Subject to the following sentence, as of the last day of
each Monthly Period, with respect to each Scheduled Interest Receivable (other
than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable), if there is a
shortfall in the Scheduled Payment remaining after application of the Deferred
Prepayment pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.11(a) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall advance an amount equal to such
shortfall (such amount, a "Scheduled Interest Advance"). The Servicer shall be
obligated to make a Scheduled Interest Advance in respect of a Scheduled
Interest Receivable only to the extent that the Servicer, in its sole
discretion, shall determine that such advance shall be recoverable from
subsequent collections or recoveries on any Receivable. The Servicer shall be
reimbursed for Outstanding Scheduled Interest Advances with respect to a
Receivable from the following sources with respect to such Receivable, in each
case as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement: (i) subsequent
payments by or on behalf of the Obligor, (ii) collections of Liquidation
Proceeds, and (iii) the Warranty Payment. At such time as the Servicer shall
determine that any Outstanding Scheduled Interest Advances with respect to any
Scheduled Interest Receivable shall not be recoverable from payments with
respect to such Receivable, the Servicer shall be reimbursed from any
collections made on other Receivables held by the Issuer.

                  (b) As of the last day of each Monthly Period, the Servicer
shall advance an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of
interest that would be due during such Monthly Period on all Simple Interest
Receivables held by the Issuer (assuming that the payment on each such
Receivable was received on its respective due date) over (ii) all payments
received during such Monthly Period on all Simple Interest Receivables held by
the Issuer to the extent allocable to interest (such excess, a "Simple Interest
Advance"). In addition, Liquidation Proceeds with respect to a Simple Interest
Receivable allocable to accrued and unpaid interest thereon (but not including
interest for the then current Monthly Period) shall be paid to the Servicer but
only to the extent of any Outstanding Simple Interest Advances. The Servicer
shall not make any advance with respect to principal of any Simple Interest
Receivable. Excess Simple Interest Collections shall be paid to the Servicer as
provided in Section 3.11(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  Section 5.05 Additional Deposits.The Servicer shall deposit in
the Collection Account the aggregate Monthly Advances pursuant to Sections
5.04(a) and (b) and the aggregate amounts to be paid to the Issuer pursuant to
Section 3.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Servicer and the Seller
shall deposit in the Collection Account the aggregate Administrative Purchase
Payments and Warranty Payments with respect to Administrative Receivables and
Warranty Receivables, respectively. All such deposits with respect to a Monthly
Period shall be made in immediately available funds on or before the
Distribution Date related to such Monthly Period (or, to the extent such funds
are necessary to make payments due, if any, under any Interest Rate Swaps for
the related Monthly Period, on or before the Business Day preceding the
Distribution Date)..

                  (b) Indemnification under this Section 6.01 shall include,
without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of external counsel and
expenses of litigation. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant
to this Section 6.01 and the recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts
from others, the recipient shall promptly repay such amounts collected to the
Servicer, without interest.

any of the parties to this Agreement, anything in this Agreement or in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer

(including any obligation of the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(iv)(x) or (y)) incurred by
reason of such trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (except
errors in judgment) in the performance of such trustee's duties under this
Agreement, the Indenture or the Trust Agreement or by reason of reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. In no event,
however, shall the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee be liable to the
Servicer for any damages in the nature of special, indirect or consequential
damages, however styled, including lost profits.

                  (c) Except as provided in this Agreement or in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear
in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to
service the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable
action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement or
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to
this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the interests of the
Noteholders and the Certificateholders under this Agreement and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the interests of the Noteholders under the Indenture and
the interests of the Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement. In such
event, the legal expenses and costs for such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust and the Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor.

                  (d) The Applicable Trustee shall distribute out of the
Collection Account on a Distribution Date any amounts permitted for
reimbursement pursuant to Section 6.03(c) not therefor reimbursed; provided,
however, that the Applicable Trustee shall not distribute such amounts if the
amount on deposit in the Reserve Account (after giving effect to all deposits
and withdrawals pursuant to Sections 4.06(b) and (c) and Section 4.07(e), on
such Distribution Date) is greater than zero but less than the Specified Reserve
Account Balance for such Distribution Date.

         Section 6.04 Delegation of Duties.So long as GMAC acts as Servicer, the
Servicer may, at any time without notice or consent, delegate any duties under
this Agreement or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to any corporation
or other Person more than 50% of the voting stock (or, if not a corporation,
other voting interests) of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by General
Motors. The Servicer may at any time perform specific duties as Servicer through
sub-contractors who are in the business of servicing automotive receivables;
provided, however, that no such delegation or sub-contracting shall relieve the
Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties.

         Section 6.05 Servicer Not to Resign.Subject to the provisions of
Section 7.02, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
imposed on it by this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as
Servicer except upon determination that the performance of its duties under this
Agreement or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be, is
no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting
the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to
such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee. If, at the
time of resignation, a successor Servicer has not accepted appointment as
Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall assume the responsibilities and
obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 7.02.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                                     DEFAULT

         Section 7.01 Servicer Defaults.Each of the following shall constitute a
"Servicer Default":

                  (a) any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture
Trustee for deposit in any of the Designated Accounts any required payment or to
direct the Indenture Trustee to make any required distributions therefrom, which
failure continues unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days after
written notice is received by the Servicer from the Indenture Trustee or the
Owner Trustee or after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer;

                  (b) failure on the part of the Seller or the Servicer to duly
observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of
the Seller or the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Indenture or the Trust Agreement which failure (i)
materially and adversely affects the rights of Noteholders or
Certificateholders, and (ii) continues unremedied for a period of ninety (90)
days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same
to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller or the Servicer, as
applicable, by the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, or to the Seller or
the Servicer, as applicable, and to the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee
by Noteholders whose Notes evidence not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount
of the Controlling Class as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date or
by Certificateholders whose Certificates evidence not less than 25% of the
Voting Interests as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date;

                  (c) the entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of
a conservator, receiver or liquidator for the Seller or the Servicer, in any
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of their respective
affairs,



                                       24
<PAGE>

and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a
period of ninety (90) consecutive days; or

                  (d) the consent by the Seller or the Servicer to the
appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities, or similar
proceedings of or relating to the Seller or the Servicer or of or relating to
substantially all of their respective property; or the Seller or the Servicer
shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become
due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or
voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no Servicer
Default where a Servicer Default would otherwise exist under clause (a) above
for a period of ten (10) Business Days or under clause (b) for a period of sixty
(60) days if the delay or failure giving rise to the Servicer Default was caused
by an act of God or other similar occurrence. Upon the occurrence of any of
these events, the Servicer shall not be relieved from using its best efforts to
perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Servicer shall
provide the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Seller and the
Securityholders prompt notice of the failure or delay by it, together with a
description of its efforts to so perform its obligations.

         Section 7.02 Consequences of a Servicer Default.If a Servicer Default
shall occur and be continuing, either the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders
whose Notes evidence not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Controlling Class as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date (or, if the
Notes have been paid in full and the Indenture has been discharged in accordance
with its terms, by the Owner Trustee or Certificateholders whose Certificates
evidence not less than a majority of the Voting Interests as of the close of the
preceding Distribution Date) by notice then given in writing to the Servicer and
the Owner Trustee (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders or
the Certificateholders) may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer under this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. On or
after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and
power of the Servicer under this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates or the
Receivables or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to and under this Section 7.02. The Indenture Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and
to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer
agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in
effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer
under this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee for
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the
Servicer for deposit, or that shall have been deposited by the Servicer in the
Collection Account, the Note Distribution Account or the Payment Ahead Servicing
Account or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables and all Payments
Ahead that shall at that time be held by the Servicer. In addition to any other
amounts that are then payable to the Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicer
shall be entitled to



                                       25
<PAGE>

receive from the successor Servicer reimbursements for any Outstanding Monthly
Advances made during the period prior to the notice pursuant to this Section
7.02 which terminates the obligation and rights of the Servicer under this
Agreement.

         Section 7.03 Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.On and
after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section
7.02, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the
Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for in this
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and shall be subject to all
the responsibilities, restrictions, duties and liabilities relating thereto
placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As compensation therefore, the Indenture
Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the
Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer would have been entitled to
under this Agreement if no such notice of termination had been given including
the Basic Servicing Fee, Investment Earnings and Supplemental Servicing Fees.
Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling
so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor (i) having a net worth
of not less than $100,000,000, (ii) a long-term unsecured debt rating from
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. of at least Baa3 (unless such requirement is
expressly waived by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.) and (iii) whose regular
business includes the servicing of automotive receivables, as the successor to
the Servicer under this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Servicer under this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Indenture Trustee may make
such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
Receivables as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no
such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer under this
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee and
such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement and the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession. Costs associated with the resignation of the Servicer and the
appointment of a successor Servicer will be borne by the Issuer.

         Section 7.04 Notification to Noteholders and Certificateholders.Upon
any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to
this Article VII, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof
to the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies and the Owner Trustee shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders.

         Section 7.05 Waiver of Past Defaults.Noteholders whose Notes evidence
not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class as
of the close of the preceding Distribution Date (or, if all of the Notes have
been paid in full and the Indenture has been discharged in accordance with its
terms, Certificateholders whose Certificates evidence not less than a majority
of the Voting Interests as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date) may,
on behalf of all Noteholders and Certificateholders, waive any default by the
Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences,
except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the
accounts in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past
default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this


                                       26
<PAGE>

Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

         Section 7.06 Repayment of Advances.If the identity of the Servicer
shall change, the predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to receive, to the
extent of available funds, reimbursement for Outstanding Monthly Advances
pursuant to Section 5.04 in the manner specified in Section 4.06 with respect to
all Monthly Advances made by such predecessor Servicer.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                   TERMINATION

         Section 8.01 Optional Purchase of All Receivables; Insolvency of
Seller; Termination of Trust.

                  (a) (i) The Servicer shall have the option to purchase the
assets of the Trust (other than the Designated Accounts) as of any date (the
"Optional Purchase Date") which is the last day of any Monthly Period as of
which the Aggregate Receivables Principal Balance is the Optional Purchase
Percentage or less of the Initial Aggregate Receivables Principal Balance. To
exercise such option, the Servicer shall (A) furnish to the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee notice of its intention to exercise such option and of the
Optional Purchase Date (such notice to be furnished not later than twenty-five
(25) days prior to the Distribution Date related to such Optional Purchase Date)
and (B) deposit in the Collection Account when required pursuant to (ii) below
an amount equal to the greater of (a) the remaining unpaid Principal Balance of
the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and any amounts payable to the Swap
Counterparty under any Interest Rate Swaps and any accrued and unpaid Basic
Servicing Fee payments and (b) the lesser of (i) the unpaid Aggregate
Receivables Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest and (ii) the fair market
value of the Receivables. Such fair market value shall be determined by an
appraiser mutually satisfactory to the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee.

                           (i) The Servicer shall make such deposit set forth in
(i)(B) above in immediately available funds on the Distribution Date related to
the Optional Purchase Date, except that if any Monthly Remittance Condition is
not satisfied on the Optional Purchase Date, such deposit shall instead be made
on the Optional Purchase Date. Upon the making of such deposit, the Servicer
shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust (other than the Designated
Accounts and the rights of the Trust under the Interest Rate Swaps).

                  (b) Upon any sale or other disposition of the assets of the
Trust pursuant to Article V of the Indenture (an "Event of Default Sale"), the
Servicer shall instruct the Applicable Trustee to deposit into the Collection
Account from the proceeds of such disposition the amount specified in clause
SECOND of Section 5.4(b) of the Indenture (the "Event of Default Proceeds"). On
the Distribution Date on which the Event of Default Proceeds are deposited in
the Collection Account (or, if such proceeds are not so deposited on a
Distribution Date, on the Distribution Date immediately following such deposit),
the Servicer shall instruct the Applicable Trustee to make the following
deposits (after the application on such Distribution Date of the Available
Principal and the Available Interest and funds on deposit in the Reserve Account
pursuant to Sections 4.06 and 4.07) from the Event of Default Proceeds and any
funds remaining



                                       27

on deposit in the Reserve Account (including the proceeds of any sale of
investments therein as described in the following sentence) in the following
priority:

                           (i) first, to the Swap Counterparty, the net amount,
if any, then due to the Swap Counterparty under any Interest Rate Swaps
(exclusive of payments due to the Swap Counterparty in respect of an Early
Termination Date under any Interest Rate Swaps);

                           (ii) second, to (a) the Note Distribution Account,

payments due to the Swap Counterparty in connection with any Early Termination
Date of any Interest Rate Swaps related to the Class A-2b Notes, allocated
between the Note Distribution Account and the Swap Counterparty in proportion to
the amounts owing in respect of the Aggregate Class A Interest Distributable
Amount and the amounts owing to the Swap Counterparty in connection with such
Early Termination Date;

                           (iii) third, to the Note Distribution Account, an
amount equal to the Note Principal Balance of the Class A Notes (after giving
effect to the reduction in the Note Principal Balance to result from the
deposits made in the Note Distribution Account on such Distribution Date and on
each prior Distribution Date) for payment of principal pro rata on the Class A
Notes;

                           (iv) fourth, to the Note Distribution Account, an
amount equal to the Aggregate Class B Interest Distributable Amount for payment
of interest on the Class B Notes;

                           (v) fifth, to the Note Distribution Account, an
amount equal to the Note Principal Balance of the Class B Notes (after giving
effect to the reduction in the Note Principal Balance to result from the
deposits made in the Note Distribution Account on such Distribution Date and on
each prior Distribution Date) for payment of principal on the Class B Notes;

amount equal to the Aggregate Class C Interest Distributable Amount for payment
of interest on the Class C Notes;

                           (vii) seventh, to the Note Distribution Account, an

effect to the reduction in the Note Principal Balance to result from the
deposits made in the Note Distribution Account on such Distribution Date and on
each prior Distribution Date) for payment of principal on the Class C Notes;

                           (viii) eighth, to the Note Distribution Account, an
amount equal to the Aggregate Class D Interest Distributable Amount for payment
of interest on the Class D Notes; and

                           (ix) ninth, to the Note Distribution Account, an
amount equal to the Note Principal Balance of the Class D Notes (after giving
effect to the reduction in the Note Principal Balance to result from the
deposits made in the Note Distribution Account on such



                                       28
<PAGE>

Distribution Date and on each prior Distribution Date) for payment of principal
on the Class D Notes.

Subject to Section 5.01(b), any investments on deposit in the Reserve Account
which shall not mature on or before such Distribution Date shall be sold by the
Indenture Trustee at such time as shall result in the Indenture Trustee
receiving the proceeds from such sale not later than such Distribution Date and
applied as set forth above. Any Event of Default Proceeds remaining after all
the deposits and other payments described above have been paid in full shall be
paid to the Seller.

                  (c) Notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given by
the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as soon as
practicable after the Servicer has received notice thereof.

                  (d) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture
with respect to the Notes, and the payment in full of the principal and interest
on the Notes, the Certificateholders shall succeed to the rights of the
Noteholders hereunder and the Owner Trustee shall succeed to the rights of, and
assume the obligations (other than those under Section 7.03 which shall remain
obligations of the Indenture Trustee) of, the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement (subject to the continuing obligations of the Indenture Trustee set
forth in Section 4.4 of the Indenture).

                  (e) After indefeasible payment in full to the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Swap Counterparty, the Noteholders, the
Certificateholders and the Servicer of all amounts required to be paid under
this Agreement, the Indenture, any Interest Rate Swaps and the Trust Agreement
(including as contemplated by this Section 8.01), (i) any amounts on deposit in
the Reserve Account, the Payment Ahead Servicing Account and the Collection
Account (after all other distributions required to be made from such accounts
have been made and provision for the payment of all liabilities of the Trust as
required by Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute) shall be paid to the
Seller and (ii) any other assets remaining in the Trust shall be distributed to
the Seller.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         Section 9.01 Amendment.

                  (a) This Agreement may be amended by the Seller, the Servicer

correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provision in this Agreement or any other Basic
Documents, (iii) to add or supplement any credit enhancement for the benefit of
the Noteholders of any class or the Certificateholders ( provided that if any
such addition shall affect any class of Noteholders or Certificateholders
differently than any other class of Noteholders or Certificateholders, then such
addition shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of any class of Noteholders or the
Certificateholders), (iv) add to the covenants, restrictions or obligations of
the Seller, the

                  (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by
the Seller, the Servicer and the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture
Trustee, the consent of Noteholders whose Notes evidence not less than a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class as of the close of
the preceding Distribution Date, 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, (which consent, whether given pursuant
to this Section 9.01 or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, shall
be conclusive and binding on such Person and on all future holders of such Note
or Certificate and of any Note or Certificate issued upon the transfer thereof
or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon the Note or Certificate) for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Agreement, or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or
the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i)
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 on any Note or Certificate, the Interest Rate for any class
of Notes or the Specified Reserve Account Balance, (ii) adversely affect the
rating of any Securities by any of the Rating Agencies without the consent of
two-thirds of the holders of each affected Security, the Outstanding Amount of
the affected class of Notes or the Voting Interests of the Certificates, as
appropriate, as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date or (iii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the
consent of the holders of all Notes and Certificates then outstanding.

                  (c) Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent,
the Indenture Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of
such amendment or consent to the Rating Agencies.

                  (d) 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 Financial Party.

                  (e) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders
or Certificateholders pursuant to Section 9.01(b) to approve the particular form
of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent
shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and
any other consents of Noteholders or Certificateholders provided for in this
Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by
Noteholders and Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee may prescribe,
including the establishment of record dates pursuant to paragraph number 2 of
the Note Depository Agreement.

                  (f) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement,
the Indenture Trustee and 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 and the Opinion of
Counsel referred to in Section 9.02(j). The Indenture Trustee and



                                       30
<PAGE>

the Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
amendment which affects such trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under
this Agreement or otherwise.

                  (g) Each of GMAC and the Seller agrees that such Person shall
not amend or agree to any amendment of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
unless such amendment would be permissible under the terms of this Section 9.01
as if this Section 9.01 were contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

         Section 9.02 Protection of Title to Trust.

                  (a) The Seller or the Servicer or both shall authorize and/or
execute, as applicable, and file such financing statements and cause to be
authorized and/or executed, as applicable, and filed such continuation and other
statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law
fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Noteholders, the
Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee under this
Agreement and the Second Step Receivables Assignment in the Receivables and in
the proceeds thereof. The Seller or the Servicer or both shall deliver (or cause
to be delivered) to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee file-stamped
copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon
as available following such filing.

                  (b) Neither the Seller nor the Servicer shall change its state
of organization or its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that
would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement
filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the
meaning of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Indenture Trustee and the
Owner Trustee at least sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof.

                  (c) Each of the Seller and the Servicer shall give the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee at least sixty (60) days prior written
notice of any relocation of its principal executive office or change of its
jurisdiction of incorporation if, as a result of such relocation or change of
jurisdiction, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of
any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of
any new financing statement. The Servicer shall at all times maintain each
office from which it services Receivables and its principal executive office
within the United States of America.

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

                  (e) The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems so that,
from and after the time of sale under this Agreement and the Second Step

Additional Representations and Warranties

1.       This Agreement and the Indenture create a valid and continuing security
         interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Purchased Property
         in favor of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, which
         security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as
         such as against creditors of and purchasers from CARI and the Issuer,
         respectively.

2.       All steps necessary to perfect CARI's security interest against each
         Obligor in the property securing the Purchased Property have been
         taken.

3.       Prior to the sale of the Purchased Property to the Issuer under this
         Agreement, the Receivables constitute "tangible chattel paper" within
         the meaning of the applicable UCC.

4.       CARI owns and has good and marketable title to the Purchased Property
         free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

5.       CARI has caused or will have caused, within ten (10) days, the filing
         of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in
         the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect
         the security interest in the Purchased Property granted to the Issuer
         hereunder and the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

6.       Other than the security interest granted to CARI pursuant to the Basic
         Documents, the Issuer under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and
         the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, none of GMAC, CARI or the
         Issuer has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or
         otherwise conveyed any of the Purchased Property. None of GMAC, CARI or
         the Issuer has authorized the filing of, nor is CARI aware of, any
         financing statements against GMAC, CARI or the Issuer that include a
         description of collateral covering the Purchased Property other than
         the financing statements relating to the security interests granted to
         CARI, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee under the Basic Documents or
         any financing statement that has been terminated. CARI is not aware of
         any judgment or tax lien filings against GMAC, CARI or the Issuer.

7.       GMAC, as Servicer, has in its possession all original copies of the
         Receivables Files and other documents that constitute or evidence the
         Receivables and the Purchased Property. The Receivables Files and other

PART II - RULES OF CONSTRUCTION

         (a)      Accounting Terms. As used in this Appendix or the Basic
                  Documents, accounting terms which are not defined, and
                  accounting terms partly defined, herein or therein shall have
                  the respective meanings given to them under generally accepted
                  accounting principles. To the extent that the definitions of
                  accounting terms in this Appendix or the Basic Documents are
                  inconsistent with the meanings of such terms under generally
                  accepted accounting principles, the definitions contained in
                  this Appendix or the Basic Documents will control.

         (b)      "Hereof," etc. The words "hereof," "herein" and "hereunder"
                  and words of similar import when used in this Appendix or any
                  Basic Document will refer to this Appendix or such Basic
                  Document as a whole and not to any particular provision of
                  this Appendix or such Basic Document; and Section, Schedule
                  and Exhibit references contained in this Appendix or any Basic
                  Document are references to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits in
                  or to this Appendix or such Basic Document unless otherwise
                  specified. The word "or" is not exclusive.

         (c)      Reference to Distribution Dates. With respect to any
                  Distribution Date, the "related Monthly Period," and the
                  "related Record Date," will mean the Monthly Period and Record
                  Date, respectively, immediately preceding such Distribution
                  Date, and the relationships among Monthly Periods and Record
                  Dates will be correlative to the foregoing relationships.

         (d)      Number and Gender. Each defined term used in this Appendix or
                  the Basic Documents has a comparable meaning when used in its
                  plural or singular form. Each gender-specific term used in
                  this Appendix or the Basic Documents has a comparable meaning
                  whether used in a masculine, feminine or gender-neutral form.

         (e)      Including. Whenever the term "including" (whether or not that
                  term is followed by the phrase "but not limited to" or
                  "without limitation" or words of similar effect) is used in
                  this Appendix or the Basic Documents in connection with a
                  listing of items within a particular classification, that
                  listing will be interpreted to be illustrative only and will
                  not be interpreted as a limitation on, or exclusive listing
                  of, the items within that classification.

         (f)      Reference to a Class of Notes. Unless otherwise specified,
                  references to a Class of Notes includes all the tranches
                  included in such class of Notes.
