Responsible Officer of the CARAT Owner Trustee. CARAT 200_-_ 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

          (b) The CARAT 200_-_ Certificates shall be typewritten, printed,

certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A,
executed by the CARAT Owner Trustee or ______________, as the CARAT Owner

provided, however, that no CARAT 200_-_ Certificate may be subdivided upon
transfer or exchange such that the denomination of any resulting CARAT 200_-_
Certificate is less than $20,000. ______________ shall be the initial
Certificate Registrar. Upon any resignation of a Certificate Registrar, the
CARAT Owner Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to
make such an appointment, assume the duties of Certificate Registrar.

          (b) The initial CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder may at any time,
without consent of the Noteholders, sell, transfer, convey or assign in any
manner its rights to and interests in the CARAT 200_-_ Certificates, provided,
however, that: (i) such action shall not result in a reduction or withdrawal of
the rating of any class of CARAT 200_-_ Notes, (ii) the CARAT 200_-_
Certificateholder shall provide to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
an opinion of independent counsel that such action shall not cause the Trust to
be treated as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a
corporation for federal income tax purposes, (iii) such transferee or assignee
shall agree to take positions for tax purposes consistent with the tax positions
agreed to be taken by the CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder, and (iv) the
conditions set forth in Section 3.4(h) shall have been satisfied. In addition,
no transfer of a CARAT 200_-_ Certificate shall be registered unless the
transferee shall have provided to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar an opinion of counsel that in connection with such transfer no
registration of the CARAT 200_-_ Certificates is required under the Securities
Act or applicable state law or that such transfer is otherwise being made in
accordance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. In connection
with any transfer of less than all of the interests in the CARAT 200_-_
Certificates, the transferor and the transferee shall specify the respective
interests in the CARAT 200_-_ Certificates to be held by transferor and
transferee, which interests may be determined by a formula or on any other basis
agreed by transferor and transferee. If agreed by transferor and transferee,
different interests may be used for distributions of proceeds and for purposes
of voting the CARAT 200_-_ Certificates, and the transferor shall notify the
Owner Trustee of any such agreement in connection with such transfer.

          (c) If the Seller is no longer the sole CARAT 200_-_
Certificateholder, the Trust Administrator shall promptly prepare amendments
(subject to the provisions regarding amendments in the applicable Basic
Documents) to the Basic Documents to the extent necessary to reflect the
issuance of book-entry certificates, the establishment of the Certificate
Distribution Account and the making of distributions to the CARAT 200_-_
Certificateholders and such other matters as shall be agreed between the Seller
and the Owner Trustee. The expense of the foregoing amendments shall be paid by
the Trust Administrator.

          (d) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any CARAT 200_-_
Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, the
CARAT Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and
deliver (or shall cause


                                       6

______________ as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new CARAT 200_-_
Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount dated the
date of authentication by the CARAT Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent.

          (e) At the option of a Holder, CARAT 200_-_ Certificates may be
exchanged for other CARAT 200_-_ Certificates of authorized denominations of a
like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the CARAT 200_-_ Certificates
to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office maintained pursuant to Section
3.8. Whenever any CARAT 200_-_ Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
CARAT Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and
deliver (or shall cause ______________ as its authenticating agent to
authenticate and deliver) one or more CARAT 200_-_ Certificates dated the date
of authentication by the CARAT Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. Such
CARAT 200_-_ Certificates shall be delivered to the Holder making the exchange.

          (f) Every CARAT 200_-_ Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the CARAT 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 CARAT 200_-_ Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently
destroyed or otherwise disposed of by the CARAT Owner Trustee or Certificate
Registrar in accordance with its customary practice.

          (g) The CARAT 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 CARAT Owner Trustee in connection with any
transfer or exchange of CARAT 200_-_ Certificates.

          (h) The CARAT 200_-_ Certificates (or an interest therein) may be
acquired by or for the account of a Benefit Plan only if (a)(i) the CARAT 200_-_
Certificates are eligible to be purchased under, and satisfy all conditions for
relief under, one of the underwriter exemptions listed in footnote 1 of
Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2002-41 (67 Fed. Reg. 54487
(August 22, 2002)), or any amendments thereto; and (ii) it is an "accredited
investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D under the Securities Act,
and any holder of the CARAT 200_-_ Certificates shall be deemed to have
represented and warranted that it is an "accredited investor"; or (b) it is an
insurance company general account that satisfies the requirements of Section III
of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60.

     Section 3.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen CARAT 200_-_ Certificates.

          (a) If (i) any mutilated CARAT 200_-_ Certificate is surrendered to
the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any CARAT 200_-_ Certificate,
and (ii) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar, the CARAT 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 CARAT Owner Trustee that such CARAT 200_-_ Certificate has been
acquired by a protected purchaser, the CARAT Owner Trustee shall execute on
behalf of


                                       7

<PAGE>

the Trust and the CARAT Owner Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (or shall
cause ______________ as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver),
in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
CARAT 200_-_ Certificate, a replacement CARAT 200_-_ Certificate in authorized
denominations of a like aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that if
any such destroyed, lost or stolen CARAT 200_-_ Certificate, but not a mutilated
CARAT 200_-_ Certificate, shall have become or within seven days shall be due
and payable, then instead of issuing a replacement CARAT 200_-_ Certificate the
CARAT Owner Trustee may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen CARAT 200_-_
Certificate when so due or payable.

          (b) If, after the delivery of a replacement CARAT 200_-_ Certificate
or payment in respect of a destroyed, lost or stolen CARAT 200_-_ Certificate
pursuant to Section 3.5(a), a protected purchaser of the original CARAT 200_-_
Certificate in lieu of which such replacement CARAT 200_-_ Certificate was
issued presents for payment such original CARAT 200_-_ Certificate, the CARAT
Owner Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement CARAT 200_-_
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 CARAT 200_-_ Certificate from such Person to whom such replacement
CARAT 200_-_ 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 CARAT Owner Trustee in connection therewith.

          (c) In connection with the issuance of any replacement CARAT 200_-_
Certificate under this Section 3.5, the CARAT Owner Trustee may require the
payment by the Holder of such CARAT 200_-_ 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 CARAT Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith.

          (d) Any duplicate CARAT 200_-_ Certificate issued pursuant to this
Section 3.5 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen CARAT
200_-_ Certificate shall constitute an original additional beneficial interest
in the Trust, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen CARAT
200_-_ 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 CARAT 200_-_ 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 CARAT 200_-_
Certificates.

     Section 3.6 Persons Deemed CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders. Prior to due
presentation of a CARAT 200_-_ Certificate for registration of transfer, the
CARAT Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose
name any CARAT 200_-_ Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate
Register as the CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder of such CARAT 200_-_ Certificate
for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Article V and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and neither the CARAT Owner Trustee nor the
Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     Section 3.7 Access to List of CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses. The CARAT Owner Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Trust Administrator and the Seller, within 15 days after receipt by the CARAT
Owner Trustee of a request therefor from the Trust Administrator or the Seller,
in writing, a list of the names and addresses of the CARAT 200_-_
Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. Each Holder, by receiving
and holding a CARAT 200_-_ Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to
hold any of the Trust Administrator, the Seller or the CARAT 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 CARAT Owner Trustee
shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or
offices or agency or agencies where CARAT 200_-_ Certificates may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the CARAT Owner Trustee in respect of the CARAT 200_-_ Certificates and the
CARAT Basic Documents may be served. The CARAT Owner Trustee initially
designates the offices of ______________, ________, ______, ____, as its
principal office for such purposes. The CARAT Owner Trustee shall give prompt
written notice to the Seller, to the Trust Administrator, and to the CARAT
200_-_ Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate

     Section 3.9 Appointment of Paying Agent. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 5.2, the Paying Agent shall make distributions to CARAT 200_-_
Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section
5.2 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the CARAT Owner
Trustee and the Trust Administrator; provided, however, that no such reports
shall be required so long as the Seller is the sole CARAT 200_-_
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 CARAT Owner Trustee may revoke such power
and remove the Paying Agent if the CARAT 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 ______________, and any co-paying agent chosen by ______________, and
acceptable to the CARAT Owner Trustee. ______________ shall be permitted to
resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the CARAT Owner Trustee.
If ______________ shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the CARAT Owner Trustee
shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust
company). The CARAT Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any
additional Paying Agent appointed by the CARAT Owner Trustee to execute and
deliver to the CARAT Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying
Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the CARAT 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 CARAT 200_-_
Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the CARAT 200_-_
Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such CARAT
200_-_ Certificateholders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to
the CARAT Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent
shall also return all funds in its possession to the CARAT Owner Trustee. The
provisions of Sections 6.3, 6.6, 6.7 and 6.9 shall apply to the CARAT Owner
Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the CARAT Owner Trustee
shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying
agent, certificate registrar or authenticating agent appointed hereunder. Any


                                       9

reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying
agent unless the context requires otherwise.

     Section 3.10 Seller as CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder. The Seller in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of CARAT 200_-_

Owner Trustee shall not have the power to commence a voluntary proceeding in
bankruptcy relating to the Trust without the unanimous prior approval of all
CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders (including the Seller) and the delivery to the
CARAT Owner Trustee by each such CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder of a certificate
certifying that such CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder reasonably believes that the
Trust is insolvent; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the
CARAT Owner Trustee commence or join in commencing any such proceeding prior to

     Section 5.1 Establishment of Certificate Distribution Account.

          (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2, the Trust
Administrator, for the benefit of the CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders, shall
establish and maintain in the name of the Trust an Eligible Deposit Account
known as the Capital Auto Receivables Asset Trust 200_-_ 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 CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders.


                                       11
<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, in the CARAT
Indenture or in the Trust Sale and Administration Agreement, the Certificate
Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the CARAT
Owner Trustee for the benefit of the CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders. If, at any
time, the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit
Account, the CARAT Owner Trustee (or the Trust Administrator on behalf of the
CARAT Owner Trustee, if the Certificate Distribution Account is not then held by
the CARAT 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 CARAT Owner Trustee shall
distribute to the CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders, on a pro rata basis, amounts
equal to the amounts deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant
to Sections 4.05 and 8.01(b) of the Trust Sale and Administration Agreement on
or prior to such Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything
else to the contrary in this Agreement or the other CARAT Basic Documents, if
and for so long as CARAT 200_-_ 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 CARAT 200_-_ Certificates (including the
final distribution as contemplated by Section 7.1(c)) required hereunder or
under the Trust Sale and Administration Agreement shall be made directly to the
Seller by the CARAT Indenture Trustee (whether or not the Trust Sale and
Administration Agreement otherwise contemplates deposit into the Certificate
Distribution Account) and the CARAT Owner Trustee shall have no duty or
liability to see to such distribution.

          (b) On each Distribution Date, the CARAT Owner Trustee shall send to
each CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder the statement provided to the CARAT Owner
Trustee by the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 4.07(a) of the Trust Sale
and Administration Agreement on such Distribution Date setting forth, among
other things, the amount distributed on the CARAT 200_-_ Certificates and the
Administration Fee with respect to such Distribution Date or Monthly Period, as
applicable; provided, however, that no such statement shall be required to be
sent by the CARAT Owner Trustee if and for so long as the Seller is the sole
CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder.

          (c) If any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust's payment (or
allocations of income) to a CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder, such tax shall
reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder
in accordance with this Section 5.2; provided, however, that the CARAT Owner
Trustee shall not have an obligation to withhold any such amount if and for so
long as the Seller is the sole CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder. The CARAT Owner
Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise
distributable to the CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders sufficient funds for the
payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization
shall not prevent the CARAT Owner


                                       12

<PAGE>

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 CARAT
200_-_ Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such CARAT
200_-_ 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.
CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder), the CARAT Owner Trustee may in its sole
discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 5.2(c). If a
CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such
withholding tax, the CARAT Owner Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such
CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such CARAT 200_-_
Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the CARAT Owner Trustee for any
out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

          (d) If the CARAT Indenture Trustee holds escheated funds for payment
to the Trust pursuant to Section 3.3(e) of the CARAT Indenture, the CARAT Owner
Trustee shall, upon notice from the CARAT Indenture Trustee that such funds
exist, submit on behalf of the Trust an Issuer Order to the CARAT Indenture
Trustee pursuant to Section 3.3(e) of the CARAT Indenture instructing the CARAT
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 CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders on any Distribution Date
shall be made to each CARAT 200_-_ 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 such CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder shall have provided to the Certificate
Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to
such Record Date or if not, by check mailed to such CARAT 200_-_
Certificateholder at the address of such CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder
appearing in the Certificate Register.

     Section 5.4 Accounting and Reports to the CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders,
the Internal Revenue Service and Others. The CARAT 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 CARAT 200_-_
Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury
Regulations or otherwise, such information as may be required to enable each
CARAT 200_-_ 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 (a) 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 CARAT
200_-_ Certificateholders. If the Internal Revenue Service were to contend
successfully that the Trust is not a disregarded entity 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 CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders their
share of the entire amount of such interest expense.

     Section 5.5 Signature on Returns; Other Tax Matters. The CARAT Owner
Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust any and all tax returns of the Trust,
unless applicable law requires a CARAT 200_-_ 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 CARAT OWNER TRUSTEE

     Section 6.1 Duties of CARAT Owner Trustee.

          (a) The CARAT Owner Trustee undertakes to perform such duties, and
only such duties, as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and the other
CARAT Basic Documents, including the administration of the Trust in the interest
of the CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders, subject to the CARAT 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 CARAT Owner Trustee shall be
deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under
the CARAT Basic Documents to the extent the Trust Administrator has agreed in
the Trust Sale and Administration Agreement to perform any act or to discharge
any duty of the CARAT Owner Trustee hereunder or under any CARAT Basic Document,
and the CARAT Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or failure of
the Trust Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Trust Sale and
Administration Agreement.

          (c) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the CARAT Owner Trustee
may conclusively rely upon certificates or opinions furnished to the CARAT 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 CARAT 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 CARAT 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:

CARAT Basic Document or is otherwise contrary to law.

          (c) Whenever the CARAT Owner Trustee is unable to decide between
alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this
Agreement or any CARAT Basic Document, or is unsure as to the application,
intent, interpretation or meaning of any provision of this Agreement or the

                                       17

<PAGE>

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 CARAT Basic Documents, and

Person for any such action or inaction.

     Section 6.6 Representations and Warranties of CARAT Owner Trustee. The

benefit of the CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders, that:

          (a) It is a banking corporation duly organized, validly existing and
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

or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority applicable to the
CARAT Owner Trustee or any of its assets, (ii) shall not violate any provision
of the corporate charter or by-laws of the CARAT Owner Trustee or (iii) shall

time, a default under, or result in the creation or imposition 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 CARAT Owner Trustee's performance or ability to
perform its duties as CARAT Owner Trustee under this Agreement or on the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

          (d) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the CARAT
Owner Trustee and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the
CARAT 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.

     Section 6.7 Reliance; Advice of Counsel.

          (a) The CARAT Owner Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in
acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent,
order, certificate, report,


                                       18

<PAGE>

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 CARAT 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 CARAT 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
CARAT 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 CARAT

misconduct of such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees if such agents,
attorneys, custodians or nominees shall have been selected by the CARAT 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 CARAT Owner Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or
omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion or advice of any such

as it would have if it were not the CARAT Owner Trustee.

receive as compensation for its services hereunder such fees as have been

authenticating agent or co-trustee and its successors, assigns, agents and
servants in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.01 of the Trust Sale and

          (a) The CARAT Owner Trustee may give notice of its intent to resign
and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving notice thereof to the
Trust Administrator provided, however, that no such resignation shall become

appointed pursuant to Section 6.10(b) and have accepted such appointment within
30 days after the giving of such notice, the CARAT Owner Trustee giving such
notice may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a

               (ii) the CARAT Owner Trustee shall be adjudged bankrupt or

          (b) If the CARAT Owner Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or

Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate (one copy of which instrument shall
be delivered to the outgoing CARAT Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the
successor CARAT Owner Trustee) and shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing CARAT
Owner Trustee.

          (c) Any resignation or removal of the CARAT Owner Trustee and
appointment of a successor CARAT 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 CARAT Owner Trustee to the outgoing CARAT Owner Trustee and the
Trust Administrator and all fees and expenses due to the outgoing CARAT Owner
Trustee are paid. Any successor CARAT 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

<PAGE>

          (d) The predecessor CARAT Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees
and expenses deliver to the successor CARAT Owner Trustee all documents and

instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and
certainly vesting and confirming in the successor CARAT Owner Trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.

          (e) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor CARAT Owner Trustee

the CARAT Indenture Trustee, the CARAT 200_-_ Noteholders and the Rating
Agencies.

     Section 6.11 Merger or Consolidation of CARAT Owner Trustee. Any Person
into which the CARAT 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 CARAT Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
CARAT Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the CARAT 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 CARAT 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

may at the time be located, the Trust Administrator and the CARAT Owner Trustee
acting jointly shall, at the expense of the Trust Administrator, have the power
and shall, at the expense of the Trust Administrator, execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the CARAT Owner Trustee
to act as co-trustee, jointly with the CARAT Owner Trustee, or as separate
trustee or trustees, of all or any part of the CARAT Owner Trust Estate, and to
vest in such Person (in the name of the Trust and not in such Person's name for
the Trust, except to the extent otherwise required by, and in accordance with,
Section 2.8), 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 Trust Administrator and the CARAT Owner
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Trust Administrator shall
not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a
request so to do, the CARAT 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:


                                       21

<PAGE>

               (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the CARAT Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or
performed by the CARAT Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not
authorized to act separately without the CARAT 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 CARAT 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 CARAT 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 Trust Administrator and the CARAT 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 CARAT 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 CARAT 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 CARAT Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the CARAT
Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Trust Administrator.

          (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the
CARAT 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 CARAT Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without
the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

     Section 6.13 Eligibility Requirements for CARAT Owner Trustee. The CARAT
Owner Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirement of Section 26(a)(1) of

                                       22

<PAGE>

recent report of condition so published. If at any time the CARAT Owner Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
6.13, the CARAT Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect specified in Section 6.10.

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 CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders
shall surrender their CARAT 200_-_ Certificates to the Paying Agent for payment

at the office of the Paying Agent therein specified. The CARAT Owner Trustee
shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if other than the CARAT
Owner Trustee) and the Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to CARAT
200_-_ Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of the CARAT 200_-_

their CARAT 200_-_ Certificates for cancellation and receive the final
distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice
all the CARAT 200_-_ Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the CARAT Owner Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint
an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining CARAT 200_-_
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their CARAT 200_-_ 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 CARAT Owner Trustee to the Seller, and the CARAT Owner
Trustee shall have no further liability to the CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders
with respect thereto.

          (e) Upon the winding up and termination of the Trust in accordance
with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Act and this Section, the CARAT 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 Statutory Trust Act.

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 CARAT 200_-_

Agreement and each CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder or CARAT 200_-_ Certificate

CARAT 200_-_ Certificate (or any interest therein) acknowledges that such
Person's CARAT 200_-_ Certificate (or interest therein) represents beneficial
interests in the Trust only and does not represent interests in or obligations
of the Seller, the Trust Administrator, the CARAT Owner Trustee, the CARAT

expressly set forth or contemplated in this Agreement, the CARAT 200_-_

CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder obligations have been made solely by the Trust.
Each CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder by the acceptance of a CARAT 200_-_
Certificate (or beneficial interest therein) agrees except as expressly provided
in the CARAT Basic Documents, in the event of nonpayment of any amounts with
respect to the CARAT 200_-_ 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 CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder and
CARAT 200_-_ Certificate Owner is prohibited by, or declared illegal or
otherwise unenforceable against any such CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder or CARAT
200_-_ Certificate Owner under applicable law by any court or other authority of
competent jurisdiction, and, as a result, a CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder or
CARAT 200_-_ Certificate Owner is deemed to have an interest in any assets of
the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller other than the Trust ("other assets"),
each CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder and CARAT 200_-_ Certificate Owner agrees
that (i) its claim against any such other assets shall be, and hereby is,
subject and subordinate in all respects to the rights of other Persons to whom
rights in the other assets have

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 CARAT 200_-_ Certificates are owned
solely by the Seller or by such single Person, or (B) a partnership if the CARAT
200_-_ Certificates are owned by more than one Person. Except as otherwise
required by appropriate taxing authorities, the Seller and the other CARAT

Benefit Plan and, if requested to do so by the Seller pursuant to Section
3.4(b), shall execute and deliver to the CARAT Owner Trustee an undertaking
letter in the form set forth in Exhibit C to the Trust Agreement.

                             REVERSE OF CERTIFICATE

          The CARAT 200_-_ Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an
interest in, the Seller, the Trust Administrator, General Motors Corporation,
the CARAT Indenture Trustee, the CARAT 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 CARAT 200_-_ 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 CARAT
200_-_ Secured Notes (and certain other amounts), all as more specifically set
forth herein and in the Basic Documents. A copy of each of the CARAT Basic
Documents 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 CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholder upon written request. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of this CARAT 200_-_ Certificate and the terms of the
Basic Documents, the terms of the Basic Documents shall govern.

          The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions provided therein,
the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Seller and the rights of the CARAT 200_-_ Certificateholders under the Trust
Agreement at any time by the Seller and the CARAT Owner Trustee with the consent
of the Holders of the CARAT 200_-_ Notes evidencing not less than a majority of
the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class as of the close of the preceding
Distribution Date and, if any Person other than the Seller or an Affiliate of
the Seller holds any CARAT 200_-_ Certificates, the consent of CARAT 200_-_
Certificateholders whose CARAT 200_-_ 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 CARAT 200_-_ Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this CARAT
200_-_ Certificate and of any CARAT 200_-_ 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 CARAT 200_-_ Certificate. The Trust Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of
the Holders of any of the CARAT 200_-_ Certificates or the CARAT 200_-_ Notes.

          As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this CARAT 200_-_ Certificate is registerable
in the CARAT 200_-_ Certificate Register upon surrender of this CARAT 200_-_
Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the CARAT
200_-_ Certificate Registrar maintained by the CARAT Owner Trustee in the City
of New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the CARAT Owner Trustee and the CARAT 200_-_ Certificate
Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new CARAT 200_-_ Certificates
of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust
will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial CARAT 200_-_

multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that one CARAT 200_-_
Certificate may be issued in a


                                    A-1 - 6

denomination that includes any residual amount. As provided in the Trust
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, CARAT 200_-_
Certificates are exchangeable for new CARAT 200_-_ Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same; provided, however, that no CARAT 200_-_
Certificate may be subdivided such that the denomination of any resulting CARAT
200_-_ Certificate is less than $20,000. No service charge shall be made for any
such registration of transfer or exchange, but the CARAT Owner Trustee or the
CARAT 200_-_ Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

          The CARAT Owner Trustee, the CARAT 200_-_ Certificate Registrar and
any agent of the CARAT Owner Trustee or the CARAT 200_-_ Certificate Registrar
may treat the Person in whose name this CARAT 200_-_ Certificate is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the CARAT Owner Trustee, the
CARAT 200_-_ 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
the Trust Agreement.
