       (a) The  Certificates  shall be  substantially  in the form set  forth in
Exhibit A and shall be issued in minimum  denominations  of $20,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof;  provided,  however, that one Certificate
may  be  issued  in a  denomination  that  includes  any  residual  amount.  The
Certificates  shall represent the entire  beneficial  interest in the Trust. The
Certificates  shall be  executed  on behalf of the Trust by manual or  facsimile
signature of a Responsible  Officer of the Owner Trustee.  Certificates  bearing
the manual or facsimile  signatures  of  individuals  who were, at the time when
such  signatures  shall have been  affixed,  authorized to sign on behalf of the
Trust, shall be duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable  beneficial interests
in the Trust,  notwithstanding  that such  individuals or any of them shall have
ceased to be so  authorized  prior to the  authentication  and  delivery of such
Certificates  or did not hold such  offices  at the date of  authentication  and
delivery of such Certificates.

     (b) The Definitive Certificates shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed
or engraved or produced by any  combination  of these  methods  (with or without
steel  engraved  borders)  all as  determined  by the  officers  executing  such
Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of such Certificates.

     (c) The Certificates shall be issued in fully-registered form. The terms of
the Certificates  set forth in Exhibit A shall form part of this Agreement.

     Section 3.3 Execution,  Authentication and Delivery . Concurrently with the
sale of the  Receivables  to the Trust  pursuant to the Trust Sale and Servicing
Agreement,  the Owner  Trustee  shall  cause the  Certificates  in an  aggregate
principal  amount  equal to the  initial  Certificate  Balance to be executed on
behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of
the Seller,  signed by its  chairman  of the board,  its  president  or any vice
president,  without  further  corporate  action  by the  Seller,  in  authorized
denominations. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this
Agreement,  or shall 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 Bankers  Trust  Company,  as the
Owner Trustee's  authenticating agent, by manual signature.  Such authentication
shall constitute  conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder.  All Certificates shall be dated the date
of their authentication.

     Section  3.4  Registration; Registration  of  Transfer  and  Exchange  of
     Certificates.

     (a) The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office
or agency maintained  pursuant to Section 3.8, a Certificate  Register in which,
subject to such  reasonable  regulations as it may prescribe,  the Owner Trustee
shall  provide  for  the  registration  of  Certificates  and of  transfers  and
exchanges  of  Certificates  as  provided  herein;  provided,  however,  that no
Certificate   may  be  subdivided  upon  transfer  or  exchange  such  that  the
denomination  of any resulting  Certificate is less than $20,000.  Bankers Trust
Company shall be the initial  Certificate  Registrar.  Upon any resignation of a
Certificate Registrar,  the Owner Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor or,
if it elects not to make such an  appointment,  assume the duties of Certificate
Registrar.
<PAGE>

     (b) Upon surrender for  registration  of transfer of any Certificate at the
office or agency  maintained  pursuant to Section 3.8, the Owner  Trustee  shall
execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause Bankers
Trust Company as 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. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Seller has not delivered an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to
Section 9.12 to the Owner Trustee,  such transfer shall not be effective  unless
the  requirements  of Section 9.12 shall have been complied with.

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

     (d) 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 and such other  documents
and  instruments  as  may  be  required  by  Section  3.4(b).  Each  Certificate
surrendered  for  registration  of transfer or  exchange  shall be canceled  and
subsequently  destroyed  or  otherwise  disposed  of by  the  Owner  Trustee  or
Certificate  Registrar in accordance  with its customary  practice.

     (e) 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 and
any other  expenses  of the Owner  Trustee in  connection  with any  transfer or
exchange of Certificates.

     Section 3.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

     (a) If (i) any mutilated  Certificate  is  surrendered  to the  Certificate
Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction,  loss or theft of any Certificate,  and (ii) there is delivered
to the Certificate  Registrar,  the Owner Trustee and the Trust such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the  Certificate  Registrar or the Owner  Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser,  the Owner Trustee shall
execute  on behalf of the Trust and the Owner  Trustee  shall  authenticate  and
deliver (or shall cause  Bankers Trust  Company as its  authenticating  agent to
authenticate  and  deliver),  in exchange for or in lieu of any such  mutilated,
destroyed,  lost or stolen Certificate,  a replacement Certificate in authorized
denominations of a like aggregate principal amount;  provided,  however, that if
any such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, but not a mutilated Certificate,
shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, then instead of
issuing a replacement Certificate the Owner Trustee may pay such destroyed, lost
or stolen Certificate when so due or payable.
<PAGE>

     (b) If,  after the  delivery  of a  replacement  Certificate  or payment in
respect of a destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate pursuant to Section 3.5(a), a
protected  purchaser  of  the  original   Certificate  in  lieu  of  which  such
replacement   Certificate   was  issued   presents  for  payment  such  original
Certificate,  the Owner  Trustee  shall be entitled to recover such  replacement
Certificate  (and any  distributions  or payments made with respect  thereto) or
such payment from the Person to whom it was  delivered or any Person taking such
replacement  Certificate from such Person to whom such  replacement  Certificate
was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser,  and
shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to
the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Owner Trustee in
connection therewith.

     (c) In connection  with the issuance of any replacement  Certificate  under
this  Section  3.5,  the Owner  Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of
such  Certificate  of a sum  sufficient  to cover any tax or other  governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses
(including  the fees and  expenses  of the  Owner  Trustee  and the  Certificate
Registrar)  connected  therewith.

     (d) Any  duplicate  Certificate  issued  pursuant  to this  Section  3.5 in
replacement  of any  mutilated,  destroyed,  lost or  stolen  Certificate  shall
constitute an original additional  beneficial interest in the Trust,  whether or
not the mutilated,  destroyed,  lost or stolen Certificate shall be found at any
time or be enforced by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Agreement equally and  proportionately  with any and all other Certificates duly
issued  hereunder.

     (e) The provisions of this Section 3.5 are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.

     Section 3.6 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  Certificateholder  of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Article V and
for all  other  purposes  whatsoever,  and  neither  the Owner  Trustee  nor the
Certificate  Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     Section 3.7 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses . The
Owner  Trustee  shall  furnish or cause to be  furnished to the Servicer and the
Seller,  within 15 days after receipt by the Owner Trustee of a request therefor
from the Servicer or the Seller in writing, a list of the names and addresses of
the  Certificateholders  as of the most recent  Record  Date.  Each  Holder,  by
receiving and holding a Certificate,  shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold
any of the Servicer,  the Seller 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.
<PAGE>

     Section 3.8 Maintenance of Corporate Trust Office . The Owner Trustee shall
maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, 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 the offices of Bankers Trust Company,  Four Albany
Street, New York, New York 10006, as its principal office for such purposes. The
Owner  Trustee  shall  give  prompt  written  notice  to the  Seller  and to the
Certificateholders  of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or
any such office or agency.

     Section 3.9  Appointment of Paying Agent . Except as otherwise  provided in
Section  5.2, the Paying Agent shall make  distributions  to  Certificateholders
from the  Certificate  Distribution  Account  pursuant  to Section 5.2 and shall
report the amounts of such  distributions to the Owner Trustee and the Servicer;
provided  that no such  reports  shall be  required so long as the Seller is the
sole  Certificateholder.  Any Paying  Agent  shall have the  revocable  power to
withdraw  funds from the  Certificate  Distribution  Account  for the purpose of
making the  distributions  referred to above.  The 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 initially
be Bankers  Trust  Company,  and any  co-paying  agent  chosen by Bankers  Trust
Company,  and  acceptable to the Owner  Trustee.  Bankers Trust Company shall be
permitted  to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days'  written  notice to the Owner
Trustee. If Bankers 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 shall 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 6.3, 6.6, 6.7 and 6.9 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,  certificate  registrar or
authenticating agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the
Paying  Agent shall  include any  co-paying  agent  unless the context  requires
otherwise.

     Section 3.10 Initial Certificate Issuance . On the Closing Date, all of the
Certificates  shall be  issued  to the  Seller as  definitive  fully  registered
Certificates  (the "Initial  Definitive  Certificates").  The Seller may, at any
time  following  the  Closing  Date,  by notice to the Owner  Trustee,  make the
election  (a "Seller  Book-Entry  Election")  to have any or all of the  Initial
Definitive Certificates reissued as Book-Entry Certificates in connection with a
sale or other  transfer  of such  Certificates.
<PAGE>

     Section 3.11 Book-Entry  Certificates . Upon a Seller Book-Entry  Election,
any  Initial  Definitive  Certificates  which  the  Seller  elects  to  sell  as
Book-Entry  Certificates  (the  "Initial  Book-Entry   Certificates")  shall  be
reissued  in the form of a  printed  Certificate  or  Certificates  representing
Book-Entry  Certificates,  to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company,  the
initial  Clearing Agency by or on behalf of the Trust.  Such Initial  Book-Entry
Certificates  shall thereupon be registered on the  Certificate  Register in the
name  of  Cede  & Co.,  the  nominee  of  the  initial  Clearing  Agency  and no
Certificate  Owner shall  receive a  definitive  Certificate  representing  such
Certificate Owner's interest in such Certificate,  except as provided in Section
3.13.  Following  issuance of the Initial  Book-Entry  Certificates,  unless and
until  Definitive  Certificates  shall have been  issued to  Certificate  Owners
pursuant to Section 3.13:

               (a) the  provisions  of this  Section 3.11 shall be in full force
          and effect;

               (b) the  Certificate  Registrar  and the Owner  Trustee  shall be
          entitled  to deal with the  Clearing  Agency for all  purposes of this
          Agreement  (including  the payment of principal of and interest on the
          Certificates  and the giving of instructions or directions  hereunder)
          as the sole Holder of the Certificate, and shall have no obligation to
          the Certificate Owners;

               (c) to the  extent  that  the  provisions  of this  Section  3.11
          conflict with any other  provisions of this Agreement,  the provisions
          of this Section 3.11 shall control;

               (d) the rights of the Certificate  Owners shall be exercised only
          through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those  established
          by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing
          Agency  and/or the Clearing  Agency  Participants  and pursuant to the
          Certificate  Depository  Agreement in the form  attached as Exhibit C,
          unless  and until  Definitive  Certificates  are  issued  pursuant  to
          Section  3.13,  the  initial  Clearing  Agency  will  make  book-entry
          transfers  among the  Clearing  Agency  Participants  and  receive and
          transmit  payments of principal of and interest on the Certificates to
          such Clearing Agency Participants;

               (e) whenever  this  Agreement  requires or permits  actions to be
          taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Certificates
          evidencing  a  specified  percentage  of  the  Voting  Interests,  the
          Clearing  Agency shall be deemed to represent such  percentage only to
          the extent  that it has  received  instructions  to such  effect  from
          Certificate  Owners  and/or  Clearing  Agency  Participants  owning or
          representing,   respectively,   such  required  percentage  of  Voting
          Interests and has delivered such instructions to the Owner Trustee;

 provided,  however,  that the  provisions  of this  Section 3.11  shall  not be
 applicable in respect of  Certificates issued to the Seller.  The Seller or the
 Owner Trustee may set a record date for the purpose of determining the identity
 of Holders of Certificates entitled to vote or to consent to any action by vote
 as provided in this Agreement.
<PAGE>

     Section 3.12 Notices to Clearing  Agency . Upon issuance of the  Book-Entry
Certificates, whenever a notice or other communication to the Certificateholders
is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall
have been  issued to  Certificate  Owners  pursuant to Section  3.13,  the Owner
Trustee shall give all such notices and  communications  specified  herein to be
given to  Certificateholders  to the  Clearing  Agency and shall have no further
obligation to the Certificate Owners.

     Section 3.13 Definitive  Certificates . After a Seller Book-Entry  Election
and  the  issuance  of  the  Initial   Book-Entry   Certificates,   if  (a)  the
Administrator  advises the Owner Trustee in writing that the Clearing  Agency is
no longer  willing  or able to  properly  discharge  its  responsibilities  with
respect  to the  Certificates  and the  Administrator  is  unable  to  locate  a
qualified  successor,  (b) the  Administrator  at its option  advises  the Owner
Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the
Clearing  Agency,  or (c)  after  the  occurrence  of an Event of  Default  or a
Servicer  Default,   Certificate  Owners   representing   beneficial   interests
aggregating  at least a majority  of the Voting  Interests  advise the  Clearing
Agency in writing  that the  continuation  of a  book-entry  system  through the
Clearing  Agency is no longer in the best  interest of the  Certificate  Owners,
then the  Clearing  Agency  shall  notify all  Certificate  Owners and the Owner
Trustee  of the  occurrence  of any  such  event  and  of  the  availability  of
definitive fully registered  Certificates  (the  "Definitive  Certificates")  to
Certificate  Owners  requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Owner Trustee of
the printed Certificate or Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates
by the Clearing  Agency,  accompanied by  registration  instructions,  the Owner
Trustee shall execute and authenticate the Definitive Certificates in accordance
with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.  Neither the Certificate Registrar
nor the  Owner  Trustee  shall  be  liable  for any  delay in  delivery  of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such  instructions.  Upon the  issuance of  Definitive  Certificates,  the Owner
Trustee  shall   recognize  the  Holders  of  the  Definitive   Certificates  as
Certificateholders.

     Section 3.14 Seller as  Certificateholder . The Seller in its individual or
any other  capacity  may become the owner or  pledgee  of  Certificates  and may
otherwise  deal with the Owner  Trustee or its  Affiliates as if it were not the
Seller.

          Certificateholders;

               (e) the amendment,  change or modification of the  Administration
          Agreement,  except to cure any ambiguity or to amend or supplement any

          interests of the Certificateholders; or

<PAGE>

      Section 4.4  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 obligation

obligated to follow any such direction, if given. The Certificateholders  shall

                   APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES

      Section 5.1  Establishment of Certificate Distribution Account .

     (a) Except as  otherwise  provided in Section 5.2,  the  Servicer,  for the
benefit of the  Certificateholders,  shall establish and maintain in the name of
the Trust an Eligible  Deposit  Account  known as the Capital  Auto  Receivables
Asset  Trust  2000-2   Certificate   Distribution   Account  (the   "Certificate
Distribution  Account"),  bearing an additional  designation  clearly indicating
that  the  funds   deposited   therein   are  held  for  the   benefit   of  the
Certificateholders.

     (b) The Trust  shall  possess all right,  title and  interest in and to all
funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate  Distribution  Account and
in all proceeds  thereof.  Except as otherwise  provided  herein or in the Trust
Sale and Servicing  Agreement,  the  Certificate  Distribution  Account shall be
under the sole  dominion and control of the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Certificate Distribution Account ceases
to be an Eligible Deposit Account,  the Owner Trustee (or the Servicer on behalf
of the Owner Trustee, if the Certificate  Distribution  Account is not then held
by the Owner Trustee or an Affiliate  thereof) shall within 10 Business Days (or
such  longer  period,  not to exceed 30 calendar  days,  as to which each Rating
Agency may  consent)  establish  a new  Certificate  Distribution  Account as an
Eligible  Deposit  Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to
such new Certificate Distribution Account.
<PAGE>

Section 5.2    Application of Trust Funds .

     (a) On each  Distribution  Date, the Owner Trustee shall  distribute to the
Certificateholders,  on a pro rata basis, amounts equal to the amounts deposited
in the Certificate  Distribution  Account  pursuant to Sections 4.06 and 4.07 of
the Trust Sale and Servicing  Agreement on or prior to such  Distribution  Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement
or the other Basic Documents, if and for so long as Certificates representing in
the  aggregate a 100%  beneficial  interest in the Trust are held by the Seller,
(i) no Certificate  Distribution  Account shall be required to be established or
maintained  and  (ii)  all   distributions  and  payments  on  the  Certificates
(including  the final  distribution  as  contemplated  by Section 7.1(c) hereof)
required hereunder or under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be made
directly to the Seller by the Indenture  Trustee  (whether or not the Trust Sale
and Servicing  Agreement  otherwise  contemplates  deposit into the  Certificate
Distribution  Account) and the Owner  Trustee shall have no duty or liability to
see to such distribution.

     (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  4.09(a) of the Trust Sale and  Servicing  Agreement on such
Distribution  Date  setting  forth,  among  other  things,  the  amount  of  the
distribution  allocable to Certificate Balance and to interest,  the Certificate
Balance  after giving  effect to such  distribution,  the balance of the Reserve
Account (and  amounts,  if any,  distributed  from the Reserve  Account) and the
Total Servicing Fee with respect to such Distribution Date or Monthly Period, as
applicable;  provided that no such statement shall be required to be sent by the
Owner  Trustee if and for so long as the  Seller is the sole  Certificateholder.

     (c)  If  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
5.2;  provided  that the Owner  Trustee shall not have an obligation to withhold
any such amount if and for so long as the Seller is the sole  Certificateholder.
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 a  distribution  (such as a  distribution  to a non-U.S.
Certificateholder),  the Owner Trustee may in its sole discretion  withhold such
amounts in accordance with this Section 5.2(c). If 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.
<PAGE>

     (d) If the Indenture Trustee holds escheated funds for payment to the Trust
pursuant to Section  3.3(e) of the  Indenture,  the Owner  Trustee  shall,  upon
notice from the Indenture Trustee that such funds exist, submit on behalf of the
Trust an Issuer Order to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 3.3(e) of the
Indenture instructing the Indenture Trustee to pay such funds to or at the order
of the Seller.

     Section  5.3 Method of Payment . Subject to Section  7.1(c),  distributions
required to be made to Certificateholders on any Distribution Date shall be made
to each  Certificateholder  of record  on the  related  Record  Date (i) by wire
transfer,  in immediately  available  funds,  to the account of such Holder at a
bank  or  other  entity  having  appropriate  facilities  therefor,  if (x)  the
Certificates are Definitive Certificates,  and such Certificateholder shall have
provided to the Certificate  Registrar appropriate written instructions at least
five Business Days prior to such Record Date and the distribution required to be
made to such  Holder  on such  Distribution  Date  exceeds  $100,000  or (y) the
Certificates are Book-Entry Certificates,  or, (ii) if neither clause (i)(x) nor
clause (i)(y) is applicable,  by check mailed to such  Certificateholder  at the
address of such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register.

     Section 5.4 Accounting and Reports to the Certificateholders,  the Internal
Revenue  Service and Others . The Owner Trustee  shall  maintain (or cause to be
maintained)  the  books of the Trust on a  calendar  year  basis on the  accrual
method of accounting,  deliver to each Certificateholder,  as may be required by
the Code and applicable Treasury  Regulations or otherwise,  such information as
may be required to enable each  Certificateholder  to prepare its federal income
tax return,  file such tax returns relating to the Trust and make such elections
as may from time to time be required or appropriate  under any applicable  state
or federal  statute  or rule or  regulation  thereunder  so as to  maintain  the
Trust's  characterization  as an entity  described in clause (i) of Section 2.11
for  federal  income tax  purposes,  cause such tax  returns to be signed in the
manner  required by law and collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax
as described in and in accordance  with Section 5.2(c) with respect to income or
distributions  to  Certificateholders.  In the event that the  Internal  Revenue
Service were to contend  successfully  that the Trust is not a grantor trust but
is rather a  partnership  for  federal  income  tax  purposes,  the Trust  shall
allocate items of income,  gain, deduction and loss to the partners of the Trust
in  accordance  with their  economic  interests  in the Trust.  With  respect to
interest   expense   of  the   Trust,   the   Trust   shall   allocate   to  the
Certificateholders  their share of the entire amount of such  interest  expense.

     Section 5.5  Signature  on Returns;  Other Tax Matters . The Owner  Trustee
shall sign on behalf of the Trust any and all 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  Seller.  To the  extent one may be
required, the Seller shall be the "tax matters partner" of the Trust pursuant to
the Code.

Documents,  including  the  administration  of the Trust in the  interest of the
Certificateholders,  subject to the Basic  Documents and in accordance  with the

Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be  appropriate  under
the circumstances) to the  Certificateholders  requesting  instruction as to the
course of action to be  adopted,  and, to the extent the Owner  Trustee  acts in
good faith in accordance with any such instruction  received,  the Owner Trustee
shall not be liable  on  account  of such  action  to any  Person.  If the Owner
Trustee shall not have received appropriate instructions within ten days of such
notice (or within such shorter  period of time as reasonably may be specified in
such notice or may be necessary  under the  circumstances)  it may, but shall be
under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action  which is  consistent,
in its view, with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, and as it shall deem to

agreement or other undertaking to which it is a party, which violation,  default
or lien could reasonably be expected to have a materially  adverse effect on the
Owner  Trustee's  performance  or ability to perform its duties as Owner Trustee
under this Agreement or on the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

Trustee,  enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may
be limited by  bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization,  or other  similar laws

principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law.

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  and need not
investigate  any fact or matter in any such  document.  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 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 this  Agreement  or the Basic
Documents, the Owner Trustee: may act directly or through its agents, attorneys,
custodians  or  nominees  (including  the  granting  of a power of  attorney  to
officers of Bankers  Trust  Company to execute and deliver any Basic  Documents,
Certificate,  Note or other  documents  related  thereto  on behalf of the Owner
Trustee)  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,
attorneys,  custodians  or nominees if such  agents,  attorneys,  custodians  or
nominees shall have been selected by the Owner Trustee with reasonable care; and
may consult with  counsel,  accountants  and other skilled  professionals  to be
selected with reasonable care and employed by it. The Owner Trustee shall not be
liable for anything done,  suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance

Persons and not contrary to this Agreement or any Basic Document.

termination  of the Owner  Trustee or the  termination  of this  Agreement.  Any
amounts  paid to the Owner  Trustee  pursuant to this Article VI shall be deemed
not to be a part of the Owner Trust Estate immediately after such payment.


Section 6.10      Replacement of Owner Trustee .

such  notice,  the Owner  Trustee  giving such notice may  petition any court of
competent  jurisdiction  for the appointment of a successor  Owner Trustee.  The
Administrator shall remove the Owner Trustee if:

          (i) the Owner Trustee  shall cease to be eligible in  accordance  with
     the  provisions  of  Section  6.13 and shall fail to resign  after  written
     request therefor by the Administrator;

     (c) Any  resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of
a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.10

occurred until a written acceptance of appointment is delivered by the successor
Owner Trustee to the outgoing Owner Trustee and the  Administrator  and all fees
and expenses due to the outgoing  Owner Trustee are paid.  Any  successor  Owner
Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall be eligible to act in such
capacity in  accordance  with Section 6.13 and,  following  compliance  with the
preceding  sentence,  shall  become  fully  vested with all the rights,  powers,

Agencies.

     (d) 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.  The  Administrator  and the predecessor

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.

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  Person  shall be  eligible  pursuant  to Section  6.13,  and  without  the
execution or filing of any  instrument  or any further act on the part of any of

approved  by the Owner  Trustee  to act as  co-trustee,  jointly  with the Owner

Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section
6.12, such powers, duties,  obligations,  rights and trusts as the Administrator
and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.  If the Administrator

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 successor  trustee  pursuant to
Section  6.13 and no notice of the  appointment  of any  co-trustee  or separate
trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 6.10.

law, be appointed and act subject to the following  provisions  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

          (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.

     (c) 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  effectively  as if  given to each of  them.  Every  instrument
appointing any separate  trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article.  Each separate trustee and co-trustee,  upon its
acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property
specified  in its  instrument  of  appointment,  either  jointly  with the 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.

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.

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

surrender  their  Certificates  to the  Paying  Agent for  payment  of the final
distribution and cancellation,  shall be given by the Owner Trustee by letter to
Certificateholders mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice of such
termination  from the Servicer  given  pursuant to Section  8.01(c) of the Trust
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
the  Record  Date  otherwise   applicable  to  such  Distribution  Date  is  not
applicable,  payments  being 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  at the  time  such  notice  is given to
Certificateholders.  Upon  presentation and surrender of the  Certificates,  the
Paying  Agent  shall  cause  to be  distributed  to  Certificateholders  amounts
distributable on such  Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.2.

     (d) If all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates
for  cancellation  within six months  after the date  specified  in the  written
notice  referred to in Section  7.1(c),  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.  Subject to applicable  laws with respect to
escheat of funds,  any funds  remaining  in the Trust after  exhaustion  of such
remedies in the preceding  sentence  shall be deemed  property of the Seller and
distributed by the Owner Trustee to the Seller, and the Owner Trustee shall have
no further  liability to the  Certificateholders  with respect thereto.

     (e) Upon the winding up and  termination  of the Trust in  accordance  with
Section 3808 of the Business  Trust Statute and this Section,  the Owner Trustee
shall cause the  Certificate  of Trust to be canceled by filing a certificate of
cancellation  with the Secretary of State in accordance  with the  provisions of
Section 3810 of the Business Trust Statute.

Trustee  with the consent of  Noteholders  whose Notes  evidence not less than a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes as of the close of the preceding
Distribution  Date and the  consent  of  Certificateholders  whose  Certificates
evidence not less than a majority of the Voting Interests as of the close of the

outstanding.  The Owner  Trustee  shall  furnish  notice  to each of the  Rating
Agencies prior to obtaining consent to any proposed amendment under this Section
8.2.

     Section 8.3 Form of Amendments .

     (a) Promptly  after the execution of any  amendment,  supplement or consent

Certificateholder and the Indenture Trustee.

     (b) It shall not be necessary  for the consent of  Certificateholders,  the
Noteholders  or the  Indenture  Trustee  pursuant  to Section 8.2 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

Agreement or in any other Basic Document) and of evidencing the authorization of
the execution thereof by Certificateholders  shall be subject to such reasonable

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 9.6  Counterparts  . This  Agreement may be executed by the parties

herein shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Seller, the Owner
Trustee and each Certificateholder and their respective successors and permitted

prior to the day that is one year and one day after the termination of the Trust
and of each other trust heretofore formed by the Seller, acquiesce,  petition or
otherwise  invoke  or cause  the  Seller  or the Trust to invoke in any court or
government  authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against

<PAGE>

     Section 9.9 No Recourse . Each Certificateholder by accepting a Certificate
(or any  interest  therein)  acknowledges  that such  Person's  Certificate  (or
interest therein) represents beneficial interests in the Trust only and does not
represent  interests  in  or  obligations  of  the  Seller,  the  Servicer,  the
Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof
and no recourse, either directly or indirectly,  may be had against such parties
or their assets,  except as may be expressly set forth or  contemplated  in this
Agreement, the Certificates or the Basic Documents. Except as expressly provided
in the Basic Documents, none of the Seller, the Servicer or the Owner Trustee in
their respective  individual  capacities,  or any of their respective  partners,
beneficiaries,  agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns,
shall be personally  liable for, or shall recourse be had to any of them for the
distribution  of any amount  with  respect to the  Certificates  or the  Trust's
performance  of, or omission to perform,  any  obligations  or  indemnifications
contained in the Certificates,  this Agreement or the Basic Documents,  it being
expressly  understood  that such  Certificateholder  obligations  have been made
solely by the Trust. Each  Certificateholder  by the acceptance of a Certificate
(or  beneficial  interest  therein)  agrees except as expressly  provided in the
Basic  Documents,  in the event of nonpayment of any amounts with respect to the
Certificates,  it shall have no claim against any of the  foregoing  Persons for
any deficiency,  loss or claim therefrom. In the event that any of the foregoing
covenants of each  Certificateholder  and Certificate Owner is prohibited by, or
declared illegal or otherwise  unenforceable against any such  Certificateholder
or Certificate  Owner under  applicable  law by any court or other  authority of
competent  jurisdiction,  and, as a result, a  Certificateholder  or Certificate
Owner is deemed to have an interest in any assets of the Seller or any Affiliate
of the Seller other than the Trust ("other assets"),  each Certificateholder and
Certificate  Owner agrees that (i) its claim against any such other assets shall
be, and hereby is,  subject  and  subordinate  in all  respects to the rights of
other  Persons to whom rights in the other  assets have been  expressly  granted
("entitled  Persons"),  including to the payment in full of all amounts owing to
such entitled  Persons,  and (ii) the covenant set forth in the preceding clause
(i) constitutes a "subordination  agreement"  within the meaning of, and subject
to,  Section  510(a) of the Bankruptcy  Code.

     Section 9.10  Headings . The headings of the various  Articles and Sections
herein are for  convenience  of reference only and shall not define or limit any
of  the terms or provisions  hereof.

     Section  9.11  Governing  Law  .  THIS  AGREEMENT  SHALL  BE  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.

     Section 9.12 Certificate Transfer Restrictions . Unless the Seller delivers
to the Owner Trustee an Opinion of Counsel  stating that the  acquisition of the
Certificates  in the initial  issuance and  acquisition  or  disposition  of the
Certificates in the secondary market by Benefit Plans, and the continued holding
of the  Certificates  by Benefit Plans,  is exempted  under  Department of Labor
Prohibited  Transaction Exemption 2000-58 and any proposed sale or transfer to a
Benefit  Plan  will  qualify  with  all  requirements  of  such  exemption,  the
Certificates  may not be acquired by or for the  account of a Benefit  Plan.  If
such  Opinion  of Counsel  is not  delivered,  (x) by  accepting  and  holding a
Certificate,  the Holder thereof and the Certificate  Owner shall each be deemed
to  have  represented  and  warranted  that it is not a  Benefit  Plan  and,  if
requested  to do so by the Seller,  the  Certificateholder  and the  Certificate
Owner shall  execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an  Undertaking  Letter in
the form set forth in  Exhibit C and (y) each  certificate  shall be  stamped or
otherwise  imprinted with a legend in  substantially  the following  form:
<PAGE>

     "THIS  CERTIFICATE  MAY NOT BE  ACQUIRED  BY OR FOR THE  ACCOUNT  OF (i) AN
     "EMPLOYEE  BENEFIT  PLAN"  (AS  DEFINED  IN  SECTION  3(3) OF THE  EMPLOYEE
     RETIREMENT  INCOME  SECURITY ACT OF 1974,  AS AMENDED,  ("ERISA"))  THAT IS

     THE HOLDER  HEREOF AND THE  CERTIFICATE  OWNER SHALL EACH BE DEEMED TO HAVE
     REPRESENTED AND WARRANTED THAT IT IS NOT A BENEFIT PLAN."

The  Certificates  are also  subject to the minimum  denomination  specified  in
Section 3.4(a).

     Section 9.13  Indemnification  by and  Reimbursement  of the Servicer . The
Owner  Trustee  acknowledges  and agrees to  reimburse  (i) the Servicer and its
directors,  officers, employees and agents in accordance with Section 6.03(b) of
the Trust Sale and Servicing  Agreement  and (ii) the Seller and its  directors,
officers, employees and agents in accordance with Section 3.04 of the Trust Sale
and Servicing Agreement.  The Owner Trustee further acknowledges and accepts the
conditions  and  limitations  with  respect  to  the  Servicer's  obligation  to

                         6.450% ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE

               evidencing  a  fractional  undivided  interest  in the Trust,  as
               defined  below,  the property of which  includes a pool of retail
               instalment  sale contracts  secured by new  automobiles and light
               trucks and sold to the Trust by Capital Auto Receivables, Inc.

               (This Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation
               of Capital Auto  Receivables,  Inc.,  General  Motors  Acceptance
               Corporation  or  General  Motors  Corporation  or  any  of  their
               respective  affiliates,  except to the  extent  described  in the
               Basic Documents.)

     THIS CERTIFIES THAT Capital Auto Receivables,  Inc. is the registered owner
of a nonassessable,  fully-paid,  fractional  undivided interest in Capital Auto
Receivables Asset Trust 2000-2 (the "Trust") formed by Capital Auto Receivables,
Inc., a Delaware corporation.

     The Trust was created pursuant to a Trust  Agreement,  dated as of December
14, 2000 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Trust Agreement"),
between the Seller and Bankers  Trust  (Delaware),  as owner trustee (the "Owner
Trustee"),  a summary  of certain of the  pertinent  provisions  of which is set
forth below. To the extent not otherwise  defined herein,  the capitalized terms
used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement.

     This Certificate is one of the duly authorized  Certificates  designated as
"6.450% Asset Backed  Certificates"  (the  "Certificates").  This Certificate is
issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust
Agreement,  the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference and made a
part hereof,  to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Certificate by virtue
of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound.

     Under the Trust  Agreement,  there shall be  distributed on the 15th day of
each month or, if such 15th day is not a Business  Day, the next  Business  Day,
commencing on January 16, 2001 (each, a "Distribution  Date"),  to the person in
whose name this Certificate is registered on the related Record Date (as defined
below), such Certificateholder's  fractional undivided interest in the amount of
interest  on  and  distributions  in  respect  of  Certificate   Balance  to  be
distributed to Certificateholders on such Distribution Date; provided,  however,
Certificateholders  shall not  receive  payments  in respect of the  Certificate
Balance  until all the  Notes  have been  paid (or  provided  for) in full.  The
"Record Date," with respect to any Distribution  Date, means the last day of the
preceding Monthly Period.

     The  distributions  in respect of Certificate  Balance and interest on this
Certificate are payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America
as at the time of payment  is legal  tender  for  payment of public and  private
debts. All payments made by the Trust with respect to this Certificate  shall be
applied first to interest due and payable on this  Certificate as provided above
and then to the unpaid  distributions in respect of Certificate  Balance of this
Certificate.
<PAGE>

     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 and to the extent  described in the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

     It  is  the   intent   of  the   Seller,   the   Owner   Trustee   and  the
Certificateholders  that, for purposes of federal income, state and local income
and franchise  taxes,  Michigan  single business tax and any other taxes imposed
upon,  measured by or based upon gross or net income, the Trust shall be treated
as either  (A) a  division  of the  Seller,  or any  other  single  Person,  and
disregarded as a separate  entity,  if all  Certificates are owned solely by the
Seller or by such single Person,  or (B) a partnership if the  Certificates  are
owned by more than one  Person.  Except as  otherwise  required  by  appropriate
taxing authorities, the Seller and the other Certificateholders by acceptance of
a  Certificate  agree to  treat,  and to take no  action  inconsistent  with the
treatment  of, the  Certificates  for such tax  purposes as  interests in such a
disregarded entity or partnership as described in the previous sentence.

     Each  Certificateholder  or  Certificate  Owner  by  its  acceptance  of  a
Certificate   (or  an  interest   therein)   covenants   and  agrees  that  such
Certificateholder  shall  not,  prior to the date  which is one year and one day
after the termination of the Trust,  acquiesce,  petition or otherwise invoke or
cause  the  Seller  or the  Trustee  to  invoke  the  process  of any  court  or
governmental  authority  for the  purpose of  commencing  or  sustaining  a case
against  the  Seller or the  Trustee  under  any  federal  or state  bankruptcy,
insolvency,  reorganization or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator,
assignee,  trustee,  custodian,  sequestrator  or other similar  official of the
Seller or the Trustee or any substantial  part of its property,  or ordering the
winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Seller or the Trustee.

     Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement,  distributions on this
Certificate  shall be made as  provided  in the  Trust  Agreement  by the  Owner
Trustee by wire transfer or check mailed to the  Certificateholder  of record in
the  Certificate   Register  without  the  presentation  or  surrender  of  this
Certificate  or the making of any notation  hereon,  except that with respect to
Certificates  registered  on the Record  Date in the name of the  nominee of the
Clearing Agency  (initially,  such nominee to be Cede & Co.),  payments shall be
made by wire transfer in immediately  available funds to the account  designated
by such  nominee.  Except  as  otherwise  provided  in the Trust  Agreement  and

                             REVERSE OF CERTIFICATE


     The  Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the
Seller, the Servicer,  General Motors  Corporation,  the Indenture Trustee,  the
Owner  Trustee  or any  affiliates  of any of them  and no  recourse  may be had
against such parties or their  assets,  except as may be expressly  set forth or
contemplated  herein  or in the  Trust  Agreement  or the  Basic  Documents.  In
addition,  this  Certificate  is not  guaranteed by any  governmental  agency or
instrumentality  and is limited in right of payment to certain  collections  and
recoveries with respect to the Receivables  (and certain other amounts),  all as
more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust Agreement and the Trust Sale
and  Servicing  Agreement.  A copy of  each  of the  Trust  Sale  and  Servicing
Agreement and the Trust  Agreement may be examined  during normal business hours
at the  principal  office  of the  Seller,  and at such  other  places,  if any,
designated by the Seller, by any 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
Seller and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement at any
time by the Seller and the Owner  Trustee with the consent of the Holders of the
Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
as of  the  close  of  the  preceding  Distribution  Date  and  the  consent  of
Certificateholders  whose Certificates  evidence not less than a majority of the
Voting  Interests as of the close of the preceding  Distribution  Date. 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.  The Trust
Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances,  without
the consent of the Holders of any 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  in the  City  of New  York,  accompanied  by (i) 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 (ii) if requested by the Seller,  the
Undertaking  Letter  required  by  Section  9.12  of the  Trust  Agreement,  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.   The  initial  Certificate  Registrar  appointed  under  the  Trust
Agreement is Bankers Trust Company, New York, New York.

     The Book-Entry  Certificates  are issuable only as registered  Certificates
without coupons in denominations  of $20,000 or integral  multiples of $1,000 in
excess  thereof;  provided,  however,  that one  Certificate  may be issued in a
denomination  that  includes  any  residual  amount.  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;
provided,  however,  that  no  Certificate  may  be  subdivided  such  that  the
denomination  of any  resulting  Certificate  is less than  $20,000.  No service
charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,  but the
Owner  Trustee  or  the  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 in accordance  with Article VII of Trust
Agreement.
