Item 1119 of Regulation AB.     Affiliations and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.




The Sponsor is the originator, as contemplated by Item 1110 of Regulation AB, of all of the pool assets owned by the Trust.  The Sponsor is also the primary servicer.  The Depositor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sponsor and, therefore, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the originator and the primary servicer.  Through its purchase of the Certificates, the Depositor has acquired a 100% ownership interest in the Trust; therefore, the Trust is an affiliated party of the Depositor and, indirectly, of the Sponsor (including in its role as originator and primary servicer).




The Indenture Trustee is not affiliated with the Sponsor (including in its role as originator and primary servicer), the Depositor or the Trust.  DealerTrack, as a special servicer, is likewise not affiliated with the Sponsor (including in its role as originator and primary servicer), the Depositor or the Trust.




There are no significant obligors, external enhancement or support providers, or other material parties related to the Notes or Certificates.




In addition, there are no business relationships, agreements, arrangements, transactions or understandings outside the ordinary course of business or on terms other than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with an unrelated party, apart from the transaction involving the issuance of the Notes and Certificates by the Trust, between the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Trust and any of the parties mentioned in this Item.




Since February 2002, the Sponsor has contracted with DealerTrack’s parent, DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. (fka triVIN Inc.), for DealerTrack to provide certain software-based services to the Sponsor in connection with the titling and registering of vehicles through online services made available by the motor vehicle administrations in various states.  This contract was most recently updated in May 2010 to include, among other things, a new fee schedule.  The vehicles for which DealerTrack performs these services correspond to approximately 100% of the receivables contained in the asset pool held by the Trust.




Item 1122 of Regulation AB.     Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.




The Sponsor (in its role as servicer), the Indenture Trustee and DealerTrack (collectively, the “Servicing Parties”) have each been identified by the registrant as parties participating in the servicing function with respect to the asset pool held by the Trust.  Each of the Servicing Parties has completed a report on an assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to it (each, a “Servicing Report”), which Servicing Reports are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K.  In addition, each of the Servicing Parties has provided an attestation report (each, an “Attestation Report”) by one or more registered public accounting firms, which reports are also attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K.  Neither of the Servicing Reports prepared by the Sponsor, the Indenture Trustee or DealerTrack, or the Attestation Reports provided by the Sponsor, the Indenture Trustee or DealerTrack, has identified any material instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the respective Servicing Party.

Item 1123 of Regulation AB.     Servicer Compliance Statement.




The Sponsor (in its role as servicer) and DealerTrack have been identified by the registrant as servicers with respect to the asset pool held by the Trust.  Each of the Sponsor and DealerTrack has completed a statement of compliance with applicable servicing criteria (each a “Compliance Statement”), in each case signed by an authorized officer of the Sponsor and DealerTrack, respectively.  The Compliance Statements are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K.
