Persons as may become beneficiaries hereunder from time to time, all of the Owner Trust Estate
conveyed or to be conveyed to the Trust, and all monies and proceeds that may be received with
respect thereto, subject to the terms of this Agreement.



     SECTION 2.02 Office. The principal place of business of the Trust for purposes of
Delaware law shall be in care of the Owner Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office or at such other
address in Delaware as the Owner Trustee may designate by written notice to the Certificateholders
and the Servicer. The Trust may establish additional offices located at such place or places
inside or outside of the State of Delaware as the Owner Trustee may designate by written notice to
the Certificateholders and the Servicer.



     SECTION 2.03 Purposes and Powers.

     (iii) to acquire the Owner Trust Estate (including the Receivables and related
property) from the Depositor in exchange for the Notes and Certificates pursuant to the Sale
and Servicing Agreement;




     (iv) to assign, grant, transfer, pledge, mortgage and convey the Owner Trust Estate
pursuant to, and on the terms and conditions set forth in, the Indenture and to hold, manage

Trustee has authorized the Administrator to perform certain of its administrative duties hereunder,
including duties with respect to the management of the Owner Trust Estate, and in connection
therewith hereby grants the Administrator its revocable power of attorney. Each Certificateholder
by such Holder’s acceptance of any Certificate or beneficial interest therein, as the case may be,
shall be deemed to have granted power of attorney to the Administrator for purposes of actions
taken or to be taken with respect to the Certificates.



     SECTION 2.05 Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it will

ownership interests in the Trust are held by more than one Person, with the assets of the
partnership being the Receivables and other assets held by the Trust, and the Notes being debt of
the partnership. The parties agree that for any such period, unless otherwise required by
appropriate tax authorities, the Trust will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary
returns, reports and other forms consistent with such characterization of the Trust for tax
purposes. Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights, powers and

nothing herein shall restrict or prohibit the Owner Trustee from having employees within or without
the State of Delaware. Payments will be received by the Trust only in Delaware or New York, and
payments will be made by the Trust only from Delaware or New York. The principal office of the
Trust will be at the Corporate Trust Office in Delaware.



     SECTION 2.09 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby
represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee that as of the Closing Date:

the Depositor enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy,

and by general equitable principles.



     (e) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the

the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Depositor, or any indenture, agreement or other

proportion to their ownership of principal amount of Certificates as of the close of business on

Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of a Trust
Officer of the Owner Trustee and authenticated on behalf of the Owner Trustee by the manual or
facsimile signature of a Trust Officer. 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 validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to

Certificates in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Original Certificate Balance and
evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any
benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit
A, executed by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Trustee’s authenticating agent, by manual or
facsimile signature of a Trust Officer, and such authentication shall constitute conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. The

regulations as it may prescribe, Wilmington Trust Company shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Wilmington Trust
Company shall be the initial Certificate Registrar. In the event that the Certificate Registrar
shall for any reason become unable to act as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar shall
promptly give written notice to such effect to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer.
Upon receipt of such notice, the Servicer shall appoint another bank or trust company, which shall
agree to act in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it, and otherwise
acceptable to the Owner Trustee, to act as successor Certificate Registrar under this Agreement.



     (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office or agency
maintained pursuant to Section 3.07, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or
shall cause its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like
aggregate amount dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent.
At the option of a Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized
denominations of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the
office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.07. The preceding provisions of this Section
notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall not make and the Certificate Registrar shall not register
transfer or exchanges of Certificates for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any
payment with respect to the Certificates.



     (c) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and
the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and
disposed of by the Owner Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.



10









 





     No transfer of a Certificate shall be made unless the Owner Trustee shall have received:

     (2) a representation from the transferor of such Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit C; and



     (3) an opinion of counsel to the Owner Trustee that the transfer of such Certificate is being
made pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act or is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act.



     Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of a Certificate
to or on behalf of a Benefit Plan or utilizing the assets of a Benefit Plan shall be void and of no
effect.



     To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Owner
Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(c) or for making any payments due on
such Certificate to the Certificateholder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such
Holder under the provisions of this Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement so long as
the transfer was registered by the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee in accordance with
the foregoing requirements.



     (d) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.



     SECTION 3.04 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated
Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar
shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and
(b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice
that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee on
behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee, or the Owner Trustee’s authenticating
agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and denomination. In connection with
the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this
Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of



11









 




ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.




     SECTION 3.05 Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat
the Person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register as the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.02 and
for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Owner Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar
shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.



     SECTION 3.06 Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The
Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or
the Depositor, as the case may be, within 15 days after its receipt of a request therefor from the
Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor in writing, a list, in such form as the Owner Trustee,
the Servicer or the Depositor may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. If three or more Certificateholders or one
or more Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Certificate
Balance apply in writing to the Owner Trustee, and such application states that the applicants
desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this
Agreement or under the Certificates and such application is accompanied by a copy of the
communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Owner Trustee shall, within five
Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicants access during normal
business hours to the current list of Certificateholders. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a
Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and
address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.



     SECTION 3.07 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Owner Trustee shall maintain an
office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the
Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee initially designates
Wilmington Trust Company, in such capacity, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street,
Wilmington, Delaware 19890, as its principal corporate trust office for such purposes. The Owner
Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and to the Certificateholders of any
change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.



     SECTION 3.08 Appointment of Paying Agent. Except during any period when the Indenture
Trustee is authorized and directed to do so under the Indenture (i.e. prior to the termination of
the Indenture), the Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 5.02 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner
Trustee. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Collection
Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Owner Trustee may
revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee determines in its sole
discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement
in any material respect. The Paying Agent shall



12









 




initially be Wilmington Trust Company, and any co-paying agent chosen by the Owner Trustee,
and acceptable to the Owner Trustee. The Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent
upon 30 days’ written notice to the Indenture Trustee and, if the Paying Agent is not the Owner
Trustee, to the Owner Trustee. In the event that Wilmington Trust Company shall no longer be the
Paying Agent, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a
bank or trust company). The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any
additional Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee
an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the
Owner Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will
hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders.
The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Paying
Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The
provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04, 8.01 and 8.02 shall apply to the Owner Trustee also in its
role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Owner Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent
applicable, to any other Paying Agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the
Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.




     SECTION 3.09 Ownership by the Depositor of Certificates. Notwithstanding Section
3.03, the Depositor shall on the Closing Date receive in accordance with Section 3.02, and shall
thereafter retain beneficial and record ownership of, Certificates representing 100% of the
Certificate Balance. Any attempted transfer of any Certificate that would reduce such interest of
the Depositor below 100% of the Certificate Balance shall be void. The Owner Trustee shall cause
one Certificate issued to the Depositor (representing 100% of the Certificate Balance) to bear a
legend stating “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NON-TRANSFERABLE.”



ARTICLE IV




Actions By Owner Trustee or Certificateholders



     SECTION 4.01 Prior Notice to Certificateholders with Respect to Certain Matters. With
respect to the following matters, the Owner Trustee shall not take action unless at least 30 days

Certificateholders), the Owner Trustee shall have notified the Certificateholders in writing of the
proposed action and none of the Certificateholders shall have notified the Owner Trustee in writing
prior to the 30th day (or such agreed upon shorter period) after such notice is given that such
Certificateholders have withheld consent or provided alternative direction:



     (a) the initiation of any claim or lawsuit by the Trust (except claims or lawsuits brought in
connection with the collection of the Receivables) and the compromise of any action, claim or
lawsuit brought by or against the Trust (except with respect to the aforementioned claims or
lawsuits for collection of the Receivables);



     (b) the election by the Trust to file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust (unless such
amendment is required to be filed under the Statutory Trust Act);



13









 





     (c) the amendment of the Indenture, whether or not by a Supplemental Indenture, in
circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is required;



     (d) the amendment of the Indenture, whether or not by a Supplemental Indenture, in
circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is not required but such amendment materially
adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders;



     (e) the amendment, change or modification of the Administration Agreement, other than to cure
any ambiguity or to amend or supplement any provision in a manner or add any provision that would
not materially adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders;



     (f) the appointment (i) pursuant to the Indenture of a successor Note Registrar or Paying
Agent, (ii) pursuant to this Agreement of a successor Certificate Registrar or (iii) any consent by
the Note Registrar, Paying Agent or Indenture Trustee or Certificate Registrar to the assignment of
its respective obligations under the Indenture or this Agreement, as applicable; or



     (g) the amendment of the Sale and Servicing Agreement in circumstances where the consent of
any Noteholder is required.



     SECTION 4.02 Action by Certificateholders with Respect to Certain Matters. The Owner
Trustee shall not have the power, except upon the direction of the Certificateholders, to (a)
remove the Administrator pursuant to Section 8 of the Administration Agreement, (b) appoint a
successor Administrator pursuant to Section 8 of the Administration Agreement, (c) remove the
Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or (d) except as expressly
provided in the Basic Documents, sell the Receivables after the termination of the Indenture. The
Owner Trustee shall take the actions referred to in the preceding sentence only upon written
instructions signed by the authorized representative of 100% of the Certificateholders.



     SECTION 4.03 Action with Respect to Bankruptcy. The 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 Certificateholders (including the Board of Directors (including the
Independent Directors, as such term is defined in the Depositor’s Certificate of Incorporation) of
the Depositor) and the delivery to the Owner Trustee of a written certification by each
Certificateholder that such Certificateholder reasonably believes that the Trust is insolvent.



     SECTION 4.04 Restrictions on Certificateholders’ Power. The Certificateholders shall
not direct the Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action if such action or inaction
would be contrary to any obligations of the Trust or of the Owner Trustee under any of the Basic
Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.03 nor shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow
any such direction, if given.



     SECTION 4.05 Majority of the Certificates Control. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, any action that may be taken by the Certificateholders under this Agreement may be
taken by the Holders of the Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Certificate
Balance. Except as expressly provided herein, any written notice of the



14









 




Certificateholders delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective if signed by
Holders of the Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Certificate Balance at the
time of the delivery of such notice.




ARTICLE V




Application of Trust Funds; Certain Duties



     SECTION 5.01 Establishment of Accounts.



     (a) On or prior to the Distribution Date on which the Notes of all Classes have been paid in
full (or substantially all of the Trust Estate is otherwise released from the lien of the
Indenture), the Owner Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall establish and
maintain, or shall cause to be established and maintained, in the name of the Trust (or in such
other name as shall be specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement), the trust collection account
(the “Trust Collection Account”). The Trust Collection Account shall be established and maintained
as an Eligible Deposit Account, and, subject to provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
bearing a designation clearly indicating that, subject to Section 5.01(b), the funds deposited
therein are held by the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in each case in accordance
with Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.



     Subject to Section 5.01(b), the Owner Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in
all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Collection Account and in all proceeds thereof
(other than any net investment earnings on Eligible Investments held therein). Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, the Trust Collection Account shall be under the sole dominion and
control of the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Trust
Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Owner Trustee (or the
Administrator on behalf of the Owner Trustee, if the Trust Collection Account is not then held by
the Owner Trustee or an affiliate thereof) shall within 10 Business Days establish a new equivalent
Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new account.



     (b) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Indenture, the Servicer will establish
and maintain, or shall cause to be established and maintained, at the direction of the Depositor,
the Collection Account in the name of and under the control of the Indenture Trustee for the
benefit of the Securityholders in accordance with Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
The Indenture Trustee will be obligated to transfer back to the Owner Trustee, for the benefit of
the Certificateholders, all funds or investments held in the Collection Account on the Distribution
Date on which the Notes of all Classes have been paid in full or the Indenture is otherwise
terminated (excluding any amounts to be retained for distribution in respect of Notes that are not
promptly delivered for payment on such Distribution Date), and to take all necessary or appropriate
actions to transfer all right, title and interest of the Indenture Trustee in such funds or
investments and all proceeds thereof to the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, which amounts the Owner Trustee shall deposit into the Trust Collection
Account.



15









 





     SECTION 5.02 Application of Amounts in Trust Accounts.



     (a) For so long as any Notes are outstanding, on each Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee
will distribute to Certificateholders, on a pro rata basis, the amounts distributable thereto
pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 3.01 of the Indenture.
From and after the date on which the Notes of all Classes have been paid in full, on each
Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee shall distribute to the Certificateholders amounts on deposit
in the Trust Collection Account that are distributable to the Certificateholders in accordance with
the instructions of the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
Upon the release from the Lien of the Indenture of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or
any other portion of the Owner Trust Estate, the Owner Trustee will cause such property to be
properly deposited into the Trust Collection Account under the control of the Owner Trustee
pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or distributed to the Certificateholders in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, as the case may be.



     (b) On each Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee shall send to each Certificateholder the
statement provided to the Owner Trustee by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement with respect to such Distribution Date.



     (c) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s payment (or allocations of
income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the
Certificateholder in accordance with this Section. The Owner Trustee is hereby authorized and
directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient funds
for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not
prevent the Owner Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding
payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of
any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash
distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the
appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with
respect to any distribution (such as any distribution to a Non-U.S. Person), the Owner Trustee may
in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (c). In the event
that a Certificateholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Owner
Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such
Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Owner Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.



     (d) The Trust may, from time to time, at its option, and as directed by the Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 6.03 of this Agreement and as provided in Section 5.10 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, enter into a Currency Swap Agreement with a Currency Swap Counterparty to swap
amounts payable to Certificateholders from U.S. dollars to Japanese yen; provided, that (1) at the
time the Trust enters into the Currency Swap Agreement, the Rating Agencies have confirmed the
then-existing ratings of the Notes, and (2) any payments to the Currency Swap Counterparty
(including termination payments) are payable only from amounts that are otherwise payable to the
Certificateholders. If the Certificateholders notify the Administrator with respect to the Trust’s
election to enter into such a Currency Swap Agreement, the Administrator will prepare all necessary
and appropriate documentation and take all of the



16









 




necessary and appropriate actions to cause the Issuer to enter into such a Currency Swap
Agreement on behalf of the Trust. Any payments received by the Issuer from the Currency Swap
Counterparty under such a Currency Swap Agreement shall not be deposited in the Collection Account
and shall be paid by the Indenture Trustee directly to or to the order of the Certificateholders on
the related Distribution Date.




     SECTION 5.03 Method of Payment. Subject to Section 9.01(c), distributions required to
be made to Certificateholders on any Distribution Date shall be made to each Certificateholder of
record on the related Record Date either by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address
of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register or by wire transfer, in immediately available
funds, to the account of any Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate
facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided to the Certificate Registrar
appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Distribution Date.



     SECTION 5.04 Accounting and Reports to the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, the
Internal Revenue Service and Others. The Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall (a)
maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the Trust on a fiscal year basis or a calendar
basis on the accrual method of accounting, (b) deliver to each Certificateholder, as may be
required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, such information as may be required
(excluding Schedule K-1) to enable each Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income
tax returns, (c) file any tax and information returns, and fulfill any other reporting
requirements, relating to the Trust, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury
Regulations (including Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-7), (d) for any period during which the
beneficial ownership interests in the Trust are held by more than one Person, 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 a partnership
for federal income tax purposes, (e) cause such tax returns to be signed in the manner required by
law, and (f) collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance
with Section 5.02(c) with respect to income or distributions to Certificateholders. The
Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall elect under Section 1278 of the Code to include in
income currently any market discount that accrues with respect to the Receivables. The
Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall not make the election provided under Section 754 of the
Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, the Owner Trustee shall be
exclusively responsible for the mailing of the Schedule K-1’s necessary to enable each
Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income returns.



     SECTION 5.05 Signature on Returns; Tax Matter Partner.



     (a) The Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall sign on behalf of the Trust the tax returns
of the Trust, unless applicable law requires a Certificateholder to sign such documents, in which
case such documents shall be signed by the Administrator, pursuant to the power-of-attorney granted
thereto pursuant to Section 2.04.



     (b) For any period during which the beneficial ownership interests of the Trust are held by
more than one Person, the Certificateholder holding Certificates evidencing the largest



17









 




portion of the Original Certificate Balance shall be designated the “tax matters partner” of
the Trust pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7)(A) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, but
hereby delegates its powers and duties as such to the Administrator pursuant to the
power-of-attorney granted thereto pursuant to Section 2.04.




     SECTION 5.06 Duties of Depositor on Behalf of Trust. On behalf of the Trust, the
Depositor shall prepare and, after execution by the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and any applicable state agencies documents required to be filed
on a periodic basis with the Securities and Exchange Commission and any applicable state agencies
(including any summaries thereof required by rules and regulations prescribed thereby), and
transmit such summaries to the Noteholders pursuant to Section 7.03 of the Indenture.



ARTICLE VI




Authority and Duties of Owner Trustee



     SECTION 6.01 General Authority. The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to
execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be a party and each certificate or
other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust
is to be a party and any amendment thereto, and, on behalf of the Trust, to direct the Indenture
Trustee to authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$396,000,000 Class A-2 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $350,900,000, Class A-3 Notes in
the aggregate principal amount of $419,100,000, and Class A-4 Notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $135,450,000. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized, but shall
not be obligated, to take all actions required of the Trust, pursuant to the Basic Documents.



     SECTION 6.02 General Duties. It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge
(or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and
the Basic Documents to which the Trust is a party and to administer the Trust in accordance with
the provisions hereof and of the Basic Documents and in the interest of the Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and
responsibilities hereunder and under the Basic Documents to the extent the Administrator has agreed
in the Administration Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Owner Trustee
hereunder or under any Basic Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be held liable for the
default or failure of the Administrator to carry out such obligations or fulfill such duties under
the Administration Agreement.



     SECTION 6.03 Duties of the Owner Trustee.



     (a) Subject to Article IV and in accordance with the terms of the Basic Documents, the
Certificateholders may by written instruction direct the Owner Trustee in the management of the
Trust. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the
Certificateholders pursuant to Article IV. The Owner Trustee accepts the trusts hereby created and
agrees to perform its duties hereunder with respect to such trusts but only upon the terms of



18









 




this Agreement. The Owner Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Owner Trustee that shall
be specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine
them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement.




     (b) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Owner Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its own bad faith or its
own willful misfeasance; provided, however, that:




     (i) the duties and obligations of the Owner Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement,
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Owner
Trustee, the permissive right of the Owner Trustee to do things enumerated in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Owner
Trustee, the Owner Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished
to the Owner Trustee and conforming on their face to the requirements of this Agreement;




     (ii) the Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in
good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Owner Trustee was
negligent in performing its duties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and




     (iii) the Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
Holders of the Certificates representing at least a majority of the Certificate Balance (or
such larger or smaller percentage of the Certificate Balance as may be required by any other
provision of this Agreement or the other Basic Documents), the Servicer, the Administrator
or the Indenture Trustee.



     (c) The Owner Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that
the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.



     (d) All information obtained by the Owner Trustee regarding the Obligors and the Receivables
contained in the Trust, whether upon the exercise of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise,
shall be maintained by the Owner Trustee in confidence and shall not be disclosed to any other
Person, unless such disclosure is required by any applicable law or regulation or pursuant to
subpoena or is required to be made to regulators, auditors or other governmental authorities.



19









 





     (e) Pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, in the event that the Owner
Trustee discovers that a representation or warranty made by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.01 or
6.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to a Receivable was incorrect as of the time
specified with respect to such representation and warranty and such incorrectness materially and
adversely affects the interests of any Securityholder in such Receivable, the Owner Trustee shall
give prompt written notice to the Servicer, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee of such
incorrectness. Pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, if the Owner Trustee
discovers that any covenant of the Servicer set forth in the second sentence of Section 4.01 or
Section 4.02, 4.04 or 4.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement has been breached by the Servicer,
the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Servicer, the Depositor and the Indenture
Trustee of such breach.



     SECTION 6.04 No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions. The
Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to,
register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Owner Trust Estate, or to otherwise
take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any Basic Document to which
the Owner Trustee is a party or otherwise contemplated hereby, except as expressly provided by the
terms of this Agreement, any Basic Document to which the Trust is a party or in any document or
written instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.03. No implied duties or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any Basic Document against the Owner Trustee. The
Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in
any public office at any time or otherwise to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security
interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any Securities and Exchange
Commission filing for the Trust or to record this Agreement or any Basic Document. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee shall not be required
to execute, deliver or certify on behalf of the Trust or any other Person any filings,
certificates, affidavits or other instruments required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to the
extent permitted by applicable law. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own
cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens on any part
of the Owner Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee that
are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Owner Trust Estate.



     SECTION 6.05 No Action Except Under Specified Documents or Instructions. The Owner
Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the
Owner Trust Estate except (i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred
upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Basic Documents and
(iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to
Section 6.03.



     SECTION 6.06 Restrictions. The Owner Trustee shall not take any action (a) that is
inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.03 or (b) that, to the actual
knowledge of a Trust Officer of the Owner Trustee, (x) would result in the Trust’s becoming taxable
as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or (y) affect the treatment of the Notes as
indebtedness for federal or state income purpose. The Certificateholders shall not have the
authority to and, by acceptance of an ownership interest in any Certificate shall thereby be



20









 




deemed to have covenanted not to, direct the Owner Trustee to take any action that would
violate the provisions of this Section.




ARTICLE VII




Concerning the Owner Trustee



     SECTION 7.01 Rights of the Owner Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Article VI:



     (a) in accordance with Section 7.04, the Owner Trustee may rely and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, certificate of an
authorized signatory, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;



     (b) the Owner Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in accordance with the instructions of the Administrator, as provided in the
Administration Agreement, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, or the Certificateholders, as
provided herein;



     (c) the Owner Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or to institute, conduct or
defend any litigation under this Agreement, or in relation to this Agreement or the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, unless such Securityholders
shall have offered to the Owner Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby;



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



     (e) the Owner Trustee shall not be bound to recalculate, reverify, or make any investigation
into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates representing not less than 25% of the
Certificate Balance; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Owner Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the
making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Owner Trustee, not reasonably assured to the
Owner Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Owner Trustee may
require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so
proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Administrator or,
if paid by the Owner Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Depositor or
the Servicer upon demand; and nothing
in this clause shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law
prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors; and



21









 





     (f) the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of the Administrator,
the Servicer, the Depositor, or the Indenture Trustee under any of the Basic Documents or
otherwise, and the Owner Trustee shall have no obligation or liability to perform the obligations
of the Trust or any other Person (including the Owner Trustee) under the Basic Documents that are
required to be performed by the Administrator under the Administration Agreement, the Indenture
Trustee under the Indenture or the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.



     SECTION 7.02 Furnishing of Documents. The Owner Trustee shall furnish to the
Certificateholders promptly upon receipt of a written request therefor, duplicates or copies of all
reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates, financial statements and any other instruments
furnished to the Owner Trustee under the Basic Documents.



     SECTION 7.03 Representations and Warranties. The Owner Trustee hereby represents and
warrants to the Depositor and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, that:



     (a) It is a banking corporation duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the
laws of Delaware. It has full power, right and authority to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under this Agreement and each other Basic Document.



     (b) It has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and each other Basic Document, and this Agreement and each other Basic Document has
been executed and delivered by one of its officers duly authorized to execute and deliver this
Agreement and each other Basic Document on its behalf.



     (c) This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Owner Trustee,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability thereof may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.



     (d) It is authorized to exercise trust powers in the State of Delaware as and to the extent
contemplated herein or has appointed a Delaware trustee that is so authorized and it has a
principal place of business in the State of Delaware or has appointed a Delaware trustee that has
such a principal place of business.



     (e) Neither the execution nor the delivery by it of this Agreement nor the consummation by the
Owner Trustee of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby nor compliance by it with any of
the terms or provisions hereof or thereof will contravene any federal or Delaware law, governmental
rule or regulation governing the banking or trust powers of the Owner Trustee or any judgment or
order binding on it, or constitute any default under its charter documents or by-laws or any
indenture, mortgage, contract, agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which any of
its properties may be bound.



22









 





     SECTION 7.04 Reliance; Advice of Counsel.



     (a) The Owner Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in acting upon any signature,
instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond, or
other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper
party or parties. The Owner Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of
directors or other governing body of any corporate party as conclusive evidence that such
resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect. As to
any fact or matter the method of the determination of which is not specifically prescribed herein,
the Owner Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any
vice president or by the treasurer or other authorized officers or agents of the relevant party, as
to such fact or matter and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.



     (b) In the exercise or administration of the trusts hereunder and in the performance of its
duties and obligations under the Basic Documents, the Owner Trustee (i) may act directly or through
its agents or attorneys pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them, and the Owner Trustee
shall not be liable for the conduct or misconduct of such agents or attorneys if such agents or
attorneys shall have been selected by the Owner Trustee with reasonable care, and (ii) may consult
with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected with reasonable care and
employed by it. The 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 counsel, accountants or other
such persons and not, to the actual knowledge of the Owner Trustee, contrary to this Agreement or
any Basic Document.



     SECTION 7.05 Not Acting in Individual Capacity. In accepting the trusts hereby
created, Wilmington Trust Company acts solely as Owner Trustee hereunder and not in its individual
capacity. Except with respect to a claim based on the Owner Trustee’s willful misconduct, bad
faith or negligence, no recourse shall be had for any claim based on any provision of this
Agreement, the Notes or Certificates, or based on rights obtained through the assignment of any of
the foregoing, against the institution serving as the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity.
The Owner Trustee shall not have any personal obligation, liability or duty whatsoever to any
Securityholder or any other Person with respect to any such claim, and any such claim shall be
asserted solely against the Trust or any indemnitor who shall furnish indemnity as provided in this
Indenture.



     SECTION 7.06 Owner Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Receivables. The Owner
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates or of the Notes (other than the execution by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust
of, and the certificate of authentication on, the Certificates). The Owner Trustee shall have no
obligation to perform any of the duties of the Servicer or Administrator.



          The Owner Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to
the legality, validity and enforceability of the Certificates, the Notes or any Receivable, any
ownership interest in any Financed Vehicle, or the maintenance of any such ownership interest, or
for or with respect to the efficacy of the Trust or its ability to generate the






23









 







payments to be distributed to Securityholders under this Agreement and the Indenture,
including without limitation the validity of the assignment of the Receivables to the Trust or of
any intervening assignment; the existence, condition, location and ownership of any Receivable or
Financed Vehicle; the existence and enforceability of any physical damage or credit life or credit
disability insurance; the existence and contents of any retail installment sales contract or any
computer or other record thereof; the completeness of any retail installment sales contract; the
performance or enforcement of any retail installment sales contract; the compliance by the Trust
with any covenant or the breach by the Trust of any warranty or representation made under this
Agreement or in any related document and the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior
to the Owner Trustee’s receipt of notice or other discovery of any noncompliance therewith or any
breach thereof; the acts or omissions of the Trust or the Servicer; or any action by the Owner
Trustee taken at the instruction of the Certificateholders, provided, however, that
the foregoing shall not relieve the Owner Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under
this Agreement.




          The Owner Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of
the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, of any of the Notes or of the proceeds of
such Notes, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the
Certificates.







24









 








     SECTION 7.07 Owner Trustee May Own Certificates and Notes. The Owner Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity (but not in its fiduciary capacity) may become the owner or
pledgee of Certificates or Notes and may deal with the Depositor, the Administrator, the Indenture
Trustee and the Servicer in banking or other transactions with the same rights as it would have if
it were not Owner Trustee.



     SECTION 7.08 Sales Finance Licenses. The Depositor shall cause the Trust to use its
best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of all licenses required to be held by the Trust under
the laws of any jurisdiction in connection with ownership of the Receivables or the terms set forth
in this Agreement and the Basic Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
until such time as the Trust shall terminate in accordance with the terms hereof.



ARTICLE VIII




Compensation of Owner Trustee



     SECTION 8.01 Owner Trustee’s Fees and Expenses. The Depositor shall pay or shall
cause the Servicer to pay to the Owner Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as have been
separately agreed upon before the date hereof. The Depositor shall reimburse or cause the Servicer to
reimburse the Owner Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it,
including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses
shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Owner
Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts directly related to its services hereunder
(“Expenses”).



     SECTION 8.02 Indemnification. The Depositor shall indemnify or shall cause the Servicer to
indemnify the Owner Trustee against any and all loss, liability, claim, tort, penalty or Expense
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by it in
connection with the administration of the Trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The
Owner Trustee shall notify the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by
the Owner Trustee to so notify the Servicer shall not relieve the Depositor or the Servicer of its obligations
hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall adversely affect the Depositor’s or the Servicer’s
defenses in respect thereof. In case any such action is brought against the Owner Trustee under
this Section 8.02 and it notifies the Servicer of the commencement thereof, the Servicer will assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee (who may, unless there is, as
evidenced by an opinion of counsel to the Owner Trustee stating that there is a conflict of
interest, be counsel to the Servicer), and the Servicer will not be liable to the Owner Trustee under this Section
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Owner Trustee in connection with the
defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation. Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer need
reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Owner
Trustee through the Owner Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. The Owner
Trustee’s rights under this Article VIII shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee. The Depositor will not be entitled to make any claim
upon the Owner Trust Estate for the payment of any liabilities or indemnified expenses in relation
to the Depositor’s payment or



25









 




indemnification of expenses incurred by the Owner Trustee in the performance of its duties
hereunder.




     SECTION 8.03 Payments to the Owner Trustee. Any amounts paid to the Owner Trustee
pursuant to this Article VIII from assets in the Owner Trust Estate shall be deemed not to be a
part of the Owner Trust Estate immediately after such payment.



ARTICLE IX




Termination of Trust Agreement



     SECTION 9.01 Termination of Trust Agreement.



     (a) This Agreement (other than Article VIII) shall terminate and the Trust shall dissolve and
be wound up in accordance with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Act, upon the earliest of (i)
the maturity or other liquidation of the last Receivable (or other asset) in the Owner Trust Estate
and the final distribution of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement
(including, but not limited to, any property and proceeds to be deposited in the Collection Account
pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or to be released by the Indenture
Trustee from the Lien of the Indenture pursuant to the terms of the Indenture), and (ii) the
election by the Servicer to purchase the corpus of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement and the payment or distribution to all Securityholders of all amounts
required to be paid to them under the Indenture and this Agreement. The bankruptcy, liquidation,
dissolution, death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (x) operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust, nor (y) entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to
claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up
of all or any part of the Trust or Owner Trust Estate, nor (z) otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.



     (b) Except as provided in Section 9.01(a), neither the Depositor nor any Certificateholder
shall be entitled to revoke or terminate the Trust.



     (c) Notice of any termination of the Trust, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the
Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates to the Paying Agent for payment of the final
distributions and cancellation, shall be given by the Owner Trustee to the Certificateholders
mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice of such termination from the Servicer given
pursuant to Section 10.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, stating (i) the Distribution Date
upon or with respect to which final payment of the Certificates shall be made upon presentation and
surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein designated, (ii) the amount
of any such final payment and (iii) that payment to be made on such Distribution Date will be made
only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein
specified. The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if other than
the Owner Trustee) and the Paying Agent (if other than the Owner Trustee) at the time such notice
is given to Certificateholders. Upon presentation and



26









 




surrender of the Certificates, the Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to
Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.02.




     In the event that one or more of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates
for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice,
the Owner Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to
surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Owner Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent
to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of
their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that shall
remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such
remedies shall be distributed by the Owner Trustee to the Depositor.



     (d) Upon the winding up of the Trust and its termination, the Owner Trustee shall cause the
Certificate of Trust to be cancelled by filing a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of
State in accordance with the provisions of Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Act.



ARTICLE X




Successor Owner Trustees and Additional Owner Trustees



     SECTION 10.01 Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall at
all times be an entity having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and its
long-term unsecured debt rated at least Baa3 or its equivalent rating by Moody’s and Fitch, or such
other ratings, provided that the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such other ratings shall
have been satisfied, and be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities
and be authorized to exercise trust powers in the State of Delaware. If such entity shall publish
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section 10.01, the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.02.



     SECTION 10.02 Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any
time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to
the Depositor, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. If for any reason, Wilmington Trust Company
or any of its Affiliates should assume the duties of the Indenture Trustee, then from that time
forward Wilmington Trust Company, in its capacity as Owner Trustee, shall resign as Owner Trustee
hereunder if any Event of Default under the Indenture occurs and is necessary to eliminate any
conflict of interest under the TIA with the Indenture Trustee or any other trustee under the
Indenture. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Servicer shall promptly appoint a
successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which shall be delivered
to each of the resigning Owner Trustee and the successor Owner



27









 




Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed or shall not have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Owner Trustee.




     If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of Section 10.01 and shall fail to resign promptly, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be
legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner
Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation
or liquidation, then the Administrator may remove the Owner Trustee by written instrument to such
effect delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee. If the
Administrator shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding
sentence, the Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the outgoing Owner Trustee so
removed and the successor Owner Trustee, and pay all fees, expenses and other compensation owed to
the outgoing Owner Trustee.



     Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of
appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 and payment of all fees and
expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall provide notice of such
resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.



     SECTION 10.03 Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant
to Section 10.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator and to its predecessor
Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor
Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect
as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its
fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies
held by it under this Agreement; and the Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers,
duties, and obligations.



     No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall meet the criteria for eligibility set
forth in Section 10.01.



     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the
Administrator shall mail notice of the successor of the Owner Trustee to all Certificateholders,
the Indenture Trustee, all Noteholders, and the Rating Agencies. If the Administrator fails to
mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the



28









 




successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the expense of the Administrator.




     SECTION 10.04 Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any corporation into which
the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall
be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01, without the execution or filing of any
instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding; provided, further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail
notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies.



     SECTION 10.05 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements
of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the
time be located, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and
shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner
Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate
trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such
capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the
Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator shall not have joined in
such appointment within 25 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee
alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this
Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a trustee pursuant to Section 10.01
and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant
to Section 10.03.



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




     (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner
Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such
separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or
co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such
act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties, and obligations
(including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or
co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;




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




29












 






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



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



     Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as its agent or
attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any
lawful act under or in respect, of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate
trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its
estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.



ARTICLE XI




Miscellaneous



     SECTION 11.01 Supplements and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by the
Depositor and the Owner Trustee, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, without the
consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or
supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided,
however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or any Certificateholder.



     This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee,
with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, with the consent of the Holders of the Notes
evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (excluding for such
purpose Notes owned by the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their Affiliates unless at
such time all Notes are then owned by the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their
Affiliates) or if all of the Notes have been paid in full, the Holders of the Certificates
evidencing not less than a majority of the Certificate Balance (excluding for such purpose
Certificates owned by the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their Affiliates unless at
such time all Certificates are then owned by the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their
Affiliates) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders
or the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a)
increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections
of payments on



30









 




Receivables or distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of the
Noteholders or the Certificateholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes and the Certificate Balance required to consent to any such amendment, without
the consent of the Holders of all the affected Notes and Certificates.




     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 Certificateholder, the
Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies.



     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon receipt of notice from the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee shall notify each Certificateholder of any proposed amendment
or supplement to Section 10.01(a)(2) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. If such proposed
amendment or supplement would materially and adversely affect any of the rights or obligations of
any Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee shall obtain the consent of each Certificateholder prior
to the adoption of such amendment or supplement; provided, that no Certificateholder’s consent to
any such amendment or supplement shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and provided, further,
that each Certificateholder’s consent will be deemed to have been given if such Certificateholder
does not object in writing within 10 days of receipt of a written request for such consent. Upon
receipt of the consent, or deemed consent, of each Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee shall
notify the Indenture Trustee of such consent or deemed consent.



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



     Promptly after the execution of any amendment to the Certificate of Trust, the Owner Trustee
shall cause the filing of such amendment with the Secretary of State.



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



     SECTION 11.02 No Legal Title to Owner Trust Estate in Certificateholders. The
Certificateholders shall not have legal title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate. The
Certificateholders shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to their undivided
ownership interest therein only in accordance with Articles V and IX. No transfer, by operation of
law or otherwise, of any right, title or interest of the Certificateholders to and in their
ownership interest in the Owner Trust Estate shall operate to terminate this Agreement or the



31









 




trusts hereunder or entitle any transferee to an accounting or to the transfer to it of legal
title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate.




     SECTION 11.03 Limitations on Rights of Others. Except for Section 2.06, the
provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, the
Certificateholders, the Administrator and, to the extent expressly provided herein the Indenture
Trustee and the Noteholders, and nothing in this Agreement (other than Section 2.06), whether
express or implied, shall be construed to give to any other Person any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim in the Owner Trust Estate or under or in respect of this Agreement or any
covenants, conditions or provisions contained herein.

Register. Any notice so mailed within the time prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively
presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Certificateholder receives such notice.



     SECTION 11.05 Severability. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be
deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement
and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement
or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.



     SECTION 11.06 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which shall

32









 




provided. Any request, notice, direction, consent, waiver or other instrument or action by a
Certificateholder shall bind the successors and assigns of such Certificateholder.




     SECTION 11.08 No Petition. The Owner Trustee (not in its individual capacity but
solely as Owner Trustee), by entering into this Agreement, hereby covenants and agrees, and each
Certificateholder, by accepting a Certificate, and the Indenture Trustee and any Noteholder by
accepting the benefits of this Agreement, are thereby deemed to covenant and agree that they will
not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Trust, or join in any institution against
the Depositor or the Trust of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.
This Section 11.08 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of the Owner
Trustee under this Agreement.



     SECTION 11.09 No Recourse. Each Certificateholder by accepting an interest in a
Certificate acknowledges that such Certificates represent beneficial interests in the Trust only
and do not represent interests in or obligations of the Depositor, NMAC (in any capacity), the
Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse
may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or
contemplated in the Certificates or the Basic Documents.

for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions

them in connection with any of their obligations under the Basic Documents to obtain or maintain
any license required to be held by the Trust under the laws of any jurisdiction in connection with

of which includes a pool of retail installment sale contracts secured by new, near-new and used

(“NARC II”).



(This Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of NARC II, Nissan Motor
Acceptance Corporation (“NMAC”), Nissan North America, Inc. or any of their respective affiliates,
except to the extent described below.)




     THIS CERTIFIES THAT                                                    
          is the registered owner of [                                                            
DOLLARS ($                    )], nonassessable, fully-paid, fractional undivided ownership interest in Nissan Auto
Receivables 2010-A Owner Trust (the “Trust”) formed by NARC II.



     The Trust was created by the Original Trust Agreement, as amended and restated by the Amended
and Restated Trust Agreement dated as of September 22, 2010, as amended and supplemented from time
to time, (the “Trust Agreement”), between NARC II, as depositor (the “Depositor”), and Wilmington
Trust Company, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth below. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, dated as of
September 22, 2010 (the “Indenture”) between the Trust and U.S. Bank National Association, as
indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), or in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of
September 22, 2010 (the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”), among the Trust, the Depositor and NMAC,
as servicer (the “Servicer”), as applicable.



     This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as “Asset Backed
Certificates” (the “Certificates”) issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement. Certain debt
instruments evidencing obligations of the Trust have been issued under the Indenture, consisting of
four classes of Notes designated as “0.35590% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-1,” “0.55% Asset Backed
Notes, Class A-2,” “0.87% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-3,” and “1.31% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-4”
(collectively, the “Notes”). This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement to which Trust Agreement the holder of this
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. The
property of the Trust includes a pool of retail installment sale contracts secured by new, near-new
and used automobiles and light-duty trucks (the “Receivables”), all monies received after the
Cut-off Date, security interests in the vehicles financed thereby, certain bank

accounts and the proceeds thereof, proceeds from claims on certain insurance policies and
certain other rights under the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and all
proceeds of the foregoing.




     Under the Trust Agreement, there will be distributed on the 15th day of each month or, if such
15th day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day, (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on
October 15, 2010 to the person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the related Record Date, such Certificateholder’s pro rata portion of the amounts to be
distributed to Holders of the Certificates on such Distribution Date in respect of amounts
distributable to the Certificateholders of the Certificates pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement.



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



     The holder of this Certificate acknowledges and agrees that certain distributions made
pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the Certificateholders may be made
in Japanese yen in the event the Issuer enters into a Currency Swap Agreement as contemplated by
Section 5.10 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. If any such election is made, an amendment to
the Sale and Servicing Agreement must be executed pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement subject to the approvals of such parties as set forth in Section 5.10 of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, and a supplemental Indenture must be executed pursuant to and subject
to the approvals of such parties as set forth in Section 9.01 of the Indenture. In connection with
the execution of any such Currency Swap Agreement, the Certificateholders must provide alternative
appropriate payment instructions to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee for the receipt of
any payment in Japanese yen.



     It is the intent of the Depositor, NMAC and the Certificateholders that, for purposes of
federal income tax, state and local income tax, any state single business tax and any other income
taxes, the Trust will be treated as a division or branch of the Person holding the beneficial
ownership interests in the Trust for any period during which the beneficial ownership interests in
the Trust are held by one person, and will be treated as a partnership, and the Certificateholders
will be treated as partners in that partnership, for any period during which the beneficial
ownership interests in the Trust are held by more than one person. For any such period during
which the beneficial ownership interests in the Trust are held by more than one person, each
Certificateholder, by acceptance of a Certificate or any beneficial interest on a Certificate,
agrees to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Certificates as
partnership interests in the Trust for such tax purposes.



     Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate or any beneficial interest in a
Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not at any time institute
against the Depositor or the Trust, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Trust
of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other
proceedings under any United States, federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection



A-3









 




with any obligations relating to the Certificates, the Notes, the Trust Agreement or any of
the Basic Documents.




     Distributions on this Certificate will be made as provided in the Trust Agreement by the
Paying Agent by wire transfer or check mailed to each Certificateholder of record without the
presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as
otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on
this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency
of the Paying Agent maintained for the purpose by the Owner Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York.



     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set
forth at this place.



     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized
officer of the Owner Trustee or an authenticating agent, by manual or facsimile signature, this
Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the
Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.



     THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

(REVERSE OF CERTIFICATE)





     The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Owner Trustee,
NMAC, NARC II, Nissan North America, Inc. or any of their Affiliates and no recourse may be had
against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated herein
or in the Trust Agreement or the Basic Documents. In addition, this Certificate is not guaranteed
by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain
collections with respect to the Receivables (and certain other amounts), all as more specifically
set forth in the Trust Agreement and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. A copy of each of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours
at the principal office of the Depositor, and at such other places, if any, designated by the
Depositor, by any Certificateholder upon written request.



     The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof
and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee,
with the consent of the Holders of the Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of
the Notes, or, if all of the Notes have been paid in full, with the consent of the Holders of the
Certificates representing a majority of the Certificate Balance (excluding, in each case,
Securities held by the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their Affiliates unless at such
time all Notes or Certificates, as the case may be, are then owned by the Issuer, the Seller, the
Servicer or any of their Affiliates). Any such consent by the holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such holder and on all future holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate or such replacement certificate. The Trust
Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent
of the Holders of the Certificates or the Notes.



     As provided in the Trust Agreement, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar
maintained by the Owner Trustee, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof
or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust
Agreement is Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington,
Delaware 19890.



     The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in denominations
of $25,000.00 and in integral multiples of $1,000.00 in excess thereof. As provided in the Trust
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for
new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as
requested by the holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the



A-7









 




Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental
charge payable in connection therewith.




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



     The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust created
thereby shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last
Receivable (or other asset) in the Owner Trust Estate and the final distribution of all moneys or
other property or proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Trust
Agreement, the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement (including, but not limited to, any
property and proceeds to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to the terms of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement or to be released by the Indenture Trustee from the Lien of the Indenture
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, and (ii) the election by NMAC, as servicer of the
Receivables under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or any successor servicer, to purchase the
corpus of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the payment or
distribution to all Securityholders of all amounts required to be paid to them under the Indenture
and the Trust Agreement; provided, however, such right of purchase by the servicer is exercisable
only after the last day of the Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance is less than or equal
to 5% of the Original Pool Balance.
