hereby accepts such appointment. The Owner Trustee may engage, in the name of
the Issuer or in its own name on behalf of the Issuer, in the activities of the
Issuer, make and execute contracts on behalf of the Issuer and sue on behalf of
the Issuer.

     Section 2.05. Initial Capital Contribution of Owner Trust Estate. The
Depositor hereby reaffirms its sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance to the
Owner Trustee, as of the date of the Initial Trust Agreement, the sum of
$1,000.00 (the "Original Contribution Amount"). The Owner Trustee hereby
reaffirms its receipt in trust from the Depositor, as of the date of the Initial
Trust Agreement, of the Original Contribution Amount, which constituted the
initial Owner Trust Estate and shall be on or before the date hereof deposited
in the Certificate Distribution Account. On the date hereof the Owner Trustee is
hereby directed to withdraw the Original Contribution Amount from the
Certificate Distribution Account and transfer such sums to the

                                       6
<PAGE>

Depositor via wire transfer to the Depositor's account from which the Original
Contribution Amount was received. The Depositor shall pay organizational
expenses of the Issuer as they may arise or shall, upon the request of the Owner
Trustee, promptly reimburse the Owner Trustee for any such expenses paid by the
Owner Trustee.

     Section 2.06. Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee hereby declares that
it will hold the Owner Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions
set forth herein for the sole purpose of conserving the Owner Trust Estate and
collecting and disbursing the periodic income therefrom for the use and benefit
of the Owners, subject to the obligations of the Issuer under the Basic
Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Issuer constitute
a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust Statute and that this Agreement
constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust. It is the intention
of the parties hereto that, solely for income and franchise tax purposes, (i) so
long as there is a sole Owner, the Issuer shall be disregarded as an entity
separate from the owner, with the assets of the Issuer being the Receivables and
other assets held by the Issuer, the owner of the Receivables being the sole
Owner and the Notes being non-recourse debt of the sole Owner and (ii) if there
is more than one Owner, the Issuer shall be treated as a partnership for income
and franchise tax purposes, with the assets of the partnership being the
Receivables and other assets held by the Issuer and with the partners of the
partnership being the Owners and the Notes being debt of the partnership. The
parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities,
the Issuer will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns,
reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the Issuer as
provided in the preceding sentence for such tax purposes. Effective as of the
date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set
forth herein and in the Statutory Trust Statute for the sole purpose and to the
extent necessary to accomplish the purpose of the Issuer as set forth in Section
2.03(a).

     Section 2.07. Liability of Owners. The Owners shall be entitled to the same
limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private
corporations for profit organized under the general corporation law of the State
of Delaware.

     Section 2.08. Title to Trust Property. Legal title to the Owner Trust
Estate shall be vested at all times in the Issuer as a separate legal entity
except where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of
the Owner Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case
title shall be deemed to be vested in the Owner Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a
separate trustee, as the case may be.

     Section 2.09. Situs of Issuer. The Issuer will be located in the State of
Delaware. All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the
Issuer shall be located in the states of Delaware or New York. The Issuer shall
not have any employees in any state other than Delaware; provided, however, that
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 Issuer only in, and payments will be made by the Issuer only from, the
states of Delaware or New York. The only office of the Issuer will be at the
Corporate Trust Office.

     Section 2.10. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The
Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee that:

                                       7

     (a) The Depositor has been duly organized and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of California, with
power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such
properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted, and had
at all relevant times, and has, power, authority and legal right to acquire, own
and sell the Receivables.

     (b) The Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation
in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all
jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of
its business shall require such qualifications.

     (c) The Depositor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement and to carry out its terms; the Depositor has full power and authority
to sell and assign the property to be sold and assigned to and deposited with
the Owner Trustee as part of the Owner Trust Estate and the Depositor has duly
authorized such sale and assignment and deposit to the Issuer by all necessary
corporate action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
have been duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary corporate action.

     (d) This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Depositor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, fraudulent conveyance or other similar
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by general
principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability shall be
considered in a proceeding in equity or in law.

     (e) The execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of this
Agreement and 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 terms and provisions of, nor constitute (with or
without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the articles of incorporation
or bylaws of the Depositor, or conflict with or violate any of the material
terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time)
a default under, any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the
Depositor is a party or by which it is bound; nor result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any
such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the Basic
Documents); nor violate any law or, to the best of the Depositor's knowledge,
any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court or of any
federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental
instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties; which
breach, default, conflict, lien or violation would have a material adverse
effect on the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Depositor.

     (f) There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the
Depositor's knowledge, threatened, before any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction
over the Depositor or its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this
Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Trust Certificates or the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iii)
seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect
the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of, this Agreement.

                                 ARTICLE THREE

                  TRUST CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

     Section 3.01. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Issuer by the
contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.05 and until the issuance of
the Trust Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the
Issuer.

     Section 3.02. The Trust Certificates. The Trust Certificates shall be
issued in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples thereof;
provided, however, that one Trust Certificate may be issued in such denomination
as required to include any residual amount. The Trust Certificates shall be
executed by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile
signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee and shall have deemed to
have been validly issued when so executed and authenticated (as set forth in
Section 3.03 below). Trust Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were
affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Owner Trustee, shall be validly
issued and binding obligations of the Issuer and entitled to the benefit of this
Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Trust Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication
and delivery of such Trust Certificates.

     A transferee of a Trust Certificate shall become a Certificateholder and
shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a
Certificateholder hereunder upon such transferee's acceptance of a Trust
Certificate duly registered in such transferee's name pursuant to Section 3.04.

     Section 3.03. Authentication and Delivery of Trust Certificates. On the
Closing Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause to be authenticated and delivered
upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the Receivables and the other
assets of the Issuer, simultaneously with the sale, assignment and transfer to
the Issuer of the Receivables, and the constructive delivery to the Issuer of
the Receivable Files and the other assets of the Issuer, Trust Certificates duly
authenticated by the Owner Trustee, in authorized denominations equaling in the
aggregate the Original Certificate Balance and evidencing the entire ownership
of the Issuer. No Trust Certificate shall entitle its Holder to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on
such Trust Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or its authenticating
agent, by manual signature; and such authentication shall constitute conclusive
evidence that such Trust Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. All Trust Certificates shall be dated the date of their
authentication. Upon issuance, authentication and delivery pursuant to the terms
hereof, the Trust Certificates will be entitled to the benefits of this
Agreement. Whenever, in any Basic Document, a reference is made to
authentication by the Owner Trustee, such reference shall include authentication
by the Owner Trustee or its authenticating agent.

<PAGE>

     Section 3.04. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Trust Certificates.

     (a) The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office
or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, a Certificate Register in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall provide for
the registration of Trust Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Trust
Certificates as herein provided. The Owner Trustee shall act as initial
Certificate Registrar. The Owner Trustee may appoint an agent to act as
Certificate Registrar. Upon any resignation of the Certificate Registrar, the
Owner Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor thereto.

     The Trust Certificates have not been registered under the Securities Act or
listed on any securities exchange. No transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be
made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or
is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and such
state securities laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance
upon an exemption from the Securities Act and state securities laws, in order to
assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Holder desiring to
effect such transfer and such Holder's prospective transferee shall each certify
to the Issuer in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in the form of a
Seller Certificate and Investment Letter or a Rule 144A Letter. Except in the
case of a transfer as to which the proposed transferee has provided a Rule 144A
Letter, there shall also be delivered to the Issuer an Opinion of Counsel that
such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act and
an Opinion of Counsel or memorandum of law that such transfer may be made
pursuant to an exemption from state securities laws, which Opinion(s) of Counsel
and memorandum of law shall not be an expense of the Issuer or the Owner
Trustee. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Trust Certificate and
any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding
the Trust Certificates and the Receivables and such other information as shall
be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule
144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Trust Certificate without registration
thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided
by Rule 144A. Each Holder of a Trust Certificate desiring to effect such a
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer
is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with federal and state securities
laws. The Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall cause each Trust
Certificate to contain a legend in the form set forth on the form of Trust
Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A.

     (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Trust Certificate at
the office of the Certificate Registrar and subject to the satisfaction of the
preceding paragraph, 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 Trust
Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate original
certificate balance dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any
authenticating agent; provided that prior to such execution, authentication and
delivery, the Owner Trustee shall have

                                       10
<PAGE>

received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the proposed transfer will not
cause the Issuer to be characterized, as an association (or a publicly traded
partnership) taxable as a corporation or alter the tax characterization of the
Notes for federal income tax purposes. At the option of a Holder, Trust
Certificates may be exchanged for other Trust Certificates of authorized
denominations of a like aggregate original certificate balance upon surrender of
the Trust Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained
pursuant to Section 3.08.

     (c) At the option of a Certificateholder, Trust Certificates may be
exchanged for other Trust Certificates in authorized denominations of a like
aggregate original certificate balance upon surrender of the Trust Certificates
to be exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar. Whenever any Trust
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the
Issuer shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause its
authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver) the Trust Certificates that
the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Trust
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
such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing.

     (d) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Trust Certificates, but the Owner Trustee 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 Trust Certificates.

     (e) The Trust Certificates may not be acquired by or for the account of a
Benefit Plan. No transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be made unless the
prospective transferee has certified to the Issuer in writing that it is not a
Benefit Plan.

     (f) All Trust Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange, if surrendered to the Issuer or any agent of the Owner Trustee or the
Issuer under this Agreement, shall be delivered to the Owner Trustee and
promptly cancelled by it, or, if surrendered to the Owner Trustee, shall be
promptly cancelled by it, and no Trust Certificates shall be issued in lieu
thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this
Agreement. The Owner Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Trust Certificates in
accordance with its normal practice.

     (g) The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Owner
Trustee shall not make, and the Certificate Registrar shall not register
transfers or exchanges of, Trust Certificates for a period of 15 days preceding
the due date for any payment with respect to the Trust Certificates.

     Section 3.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Certificates. If
(i) any mutilated Trust Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar,
or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Certificate and (ii) there is 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 Trust Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall execute and the Owner Trustee or
its authenticating agent shall

                                       11
<PAGE>

authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate, a new Trust Certificate in an
authorized denomination and of a like original certificate balance. In
connection with the issuance of any new Trust Certificate under this Section,
the Owner Trustee 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 Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether
or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Certificate shall be found at any
time.

     Section 3.06. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Trust
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, any Paying Agent and any of their respective agents may treat the
Person in whose name any Trust Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Trust Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section
5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or any of their respective agents shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     Section 3.07. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
The Owner Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer and the
Depositor, within 15 days after receipt by the Owner Trustee of a written
request therefor from the Servicer or the Depositor, a list, in such form as 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 Certificateholders evidencing not less than
51% of the Percentage Interests of the Trust Certificates (hereinafter referred
to as the "Applicants"), 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 Trust Certificates, 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 Trust Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to
hold any of the Depositor, 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 3.08. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Trust shall maintain an
office or offices or agency or agencies where Trust Certificates may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Owner Trustee or its agent in respect of the Trust
Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee initially
designates the office of its agent Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas,
Corporate Trust and Agency Services, 60 Wall Street, 26th Floor, New York, New
York 10005 as its 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 3.09. Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall make
distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account
pursuant to Sections 5.02 and 5.03 and shall report the amounts of such
distributions to the Owner Trustee. Any Paying Agent

                                       12
<PAGE>

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 Owner Trustee initially appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas as the Paying Agent and any co-paying agent chosen by the Paying Agent
that is acceptable to the Owner Trustee. Each Paying Agent shall be permitted to
resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the Owner Trustee. In the
event that Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas 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 3.10. Definitive Trust Certificates. The Trust zertificates, upon
original issuance, will be issued in definitive, fully registered form.

     Section 3.11. Repayment of Trust Certificates. In the event of an optional
purchase pursuant to Section 8.01 (a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Trust Certificates will be prepaid in whole, but not in part, at an aggregate
prepayment price equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance of all the Trust
Certificates plus accrued interest thereon at the Certificate Rate.

     (d) the amendment of the Indenture by a supplemental indenture in

     (e) the amendment, change or modification of the Administration Agreement,
except 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 Owners; or

     (f) the appointment pursuant to the Indenture of a successor Note
Registrar, paying agent for the Notes or Indenture Trustee or pursuant to this
Agreement of a successor Certificate Registrar, or the consent to the assignment
by the Note Registrar, Paying Agent, Indenture Trustee or Certificate Registrar
of its obligations under the Indenture or this Agreement, as applicable.

     Section 4.02. Action by Owners with Respect to Certain Matters. Subject to

appoint a successor Administrator pursuant to Section 1.09 of the Administration
Agreement, (iii) remove the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Sale and

upon written instructions signed by the Owners.

     Section 4.03. Action by Owners with Respect to Bankruptcy. The Owner
Trustee shall not have the power to commence a voluntary proceeding in

such Owner of a certificate certifying that such Owner reasonably believes that
the Issuer is insolvent.

     Section 4.04. Restrictions on Owners' Power. The Owners shall not direct
the Owner Trustee to take or to refrain from taking any action if such action or
inaction would be contrary to any obligation of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee
under this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents or would be contrary to
the purpose of the Issuer as set forth in Section 2.03, nor shall the Owner
Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction, if given.

                                       14
<PAGE>

     Section 4.05. Majority Control. Except as expressly provided herein, any
action that may be taken by the Owners under this Agreement may be taken by the
Holders of Trust Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the
Percentage Interests evidenced by the Trust Certificates. Except as expressly
provided herein, any written notice of the Owners delivered pursuant to this
Agreement shall be effective if signed by Holders of Trust Certificates
evidencing not less than a majority of the Percentage Interests evidenced by the
Trust Certificates at the time of the delivery of such notice.

                                  ARTICLE FIVE

                   APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES

     Section 5.01. Establishment of Trust Account. 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 Issuer an Eligible Account
(the "Certificate Distribution Account"), bearing a designation clearly
indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.

     The Issuer shall possess all right, title and interest in funds on deposit
from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and in the proceeds
thereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, 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 Account, the Owner
Trustee (or the Depositor 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 ten 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 Account and shall transfer any
cash and/or any investments to such new Certificate Distribution Account. Monies
on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account may be invested in Eligible
Investments upon the terms set forth in Section 4.01 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, as if the Certificate Distribution Account were an "Account".
Earnings on investments of funds in the Certificate Distribution Account shall
be paid to the Servicer as part of the Supplemental Servicing Fee and any losses
and investment expenses shall be charged against the funds in such account.

     Section 5.02. Application of Trust Funds.

     (a) On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent will distribute to
Certificateholders, on the basis of the Percentage Interest evidenced by their
Trust Certificates, amounts deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account
pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to
such Payment Date.

     (b) On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall send to each
Certificateholder the statement or statements provided to the Owner Trustee by
the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement with
respect to such Payment Date.

                                       15
<PAGE>

     (c) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer's
payment (or allocations of income) to an Owner, such tax shall reduce the amount
otherwise distributable to the Owner in accordance with this Section. The Owner
Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise
distributable to the Owners sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is
legally owed by the Issuer (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 an Owner
shall be treated as cash distributed to such Owner at the time it is withheld by
the Issuer and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a
possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution, the
Owner Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance
with this paragraph (c).

     Section 5.03. Method of Payment. Subject to Section 9.01(c) respecting the
final payment upon retirement of each Trust Certificate, distributions required
to be made to Certificateholders on any Payment Date shall be made to each
Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date by wire transfer, in
immediately available funds, to the account of such Holder at a bank or other
entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall
have provided to the Certificate Registrar appropriate written instructions at
least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date, or, if not, by check mailed
to such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the
Certificate Register.

     Section 5.04. No Segregation of Monies; No Interest. Subject to Sections
5.01 and 5.02, monies received by the Owner Trustee hereunder need not be
segregated in any manner except to the extent required by law or the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and may be deposited under such general conditions as may be
prescribed by law, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for any interest
thereon.

     Section 5.05. Accounting and Reports to Owners, Internal Revenue Service
and Others. The Owner Trustee shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) the
books of the Issuer on a fiscal year basis ending March 31 of each year and the
accrual method of accounting. In addition, the Issuer shall deliver to each
Owner such information, reports or statements as may be required by the Code and
applicable Treasury Regulations and as may be required to enable each Owner to
prepare its federal and state income tax returns. Consistent with the Issuer's
characterization for tax purposes, as disregarded as an entity separate from the
Owner, no federal income tax return shall be filed on behalf of the Issuer
unless either (i) the Owner Trustee shall receive an Opinion of Counsel that,
based on a change in applicable law occurring after the date hereof, the Code
requires such a filing or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service shall determine that
the Issuer is required to file such a return. Neither the Owner Trustee nor any
Certificateholder will, under any circumstances, and at any time, make an
election on IRS Form 8832 or otherwise, to classify the Trust as an association
taxable as a corporation for federal, state or any other applicable tax purpose.
In the event that the Issuer is required to file tax returns, the Owner Trustee
shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared any tax returns required to be filed
by the Issuer and shall remit such returns to the Depositor (or if the Depositor
no longer owns any Certificates, the Owner designated for such purpose by the
Depositor to the Owner Trustee in writing) at least five days before such
returns are due to be filed. The Depositor (or such designee Owner, as
applicable) shall promptly sign such returns and deliver such returns after
signature to the Owner

                                       16
<PAGE>

Trustee and such returns shall be filed by the Owner Trustee with the
appropriate tax authorities. In no event shall the Owner Trustee or the
Depositor (or such designee Owner, as applicable) be liable for any liabilities,
costs or expenses of the Issuer or the Noteholders arising out of the
application of any tax law, including federal, state, foreign or local income or
excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest,
penalty or addition with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply
therewith) except for any such liability, cost or expense attributable to any
act or omission by the Owner Trustee or the Depositor (or such designee Owner,
as applicable), as the case may be, in breach of its obligations under this
Agreement.

     The Depositor is authorized and directed to execute on behalf of the
Issuer, and after execution to deliver to the Administrator for filing with the
Commission, all documents and forms required to be filed in accordance with
applicable law or the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission.

                                  ARTICLE SIX

                      AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF OWNER TRUSTEE

     Section 6.01. General Authority. Subject to the provisions and limitations
of Sections 2.03 and 2.06, the Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to
execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Issuer 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 Issuer is to be a party and any amendment or
other agreement, as evidenced conclusively by the Owner Trustee's execution
thereof. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized, but
shall not be obligated, to take all actions required of the Issuer pursuant to
the Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee is further authorized from time to time
to take such action as the Administrator recommends with respect to the Basic
Documents.

     Section 6.02. General Duties. Subject to the provisions and limitations of
Sections 2.03 and 2.06, 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 other Basic Documents to which the Issuer is a party and
to administer the Issuer in the interest of the Owners, subject to the Basic
Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have
discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the other 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 its
obligations under the Administration Agreement.

     Section 6.03. Action Upon Instruction.

     (a) Subject to Article Four, in accordance with the terms of the Basic
Documents, the Owners may by written instruction direct the Owner Trustee in the
management of the Issuer.

                                       17
<PAGE>

Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the Owners
pursuant to Article Four.

     (b) The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or
under any other Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably
determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to
result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms
hereof or of any other Basic Document or is otherwise contrary to law.

     (c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative
courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or under
any other Basic Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such
form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Owners 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 written instruction of
the Owners 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
instruction 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 not inconsistent with this Agreement and the other Basic
Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Owners, and shall
have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

     (d) In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of
any provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document or any such
provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in
conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this
Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is
incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take
with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in
such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Owners
requesting instruction and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee acts or
refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction
received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such action or
inaction, to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received
appropriate instruction 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 not inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Basic
Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Owners, and shall
have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

     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 document contemplated hereby
to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms
of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the
Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.03; and no implied duties or obligations
shall be read into this Agreement or any other Basic Document against the Owner
Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no

                                       18
<PAGE>

responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public
office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any
security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any
Commission filing for the Issuer or to record this Agreement or any other Basic
Document. 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
(other than the lien of the Indenture) 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 in accordance with (i) the
powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to
this Agreement, (ii) the Basic Documents and (iii) 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 (i)
that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Issuer set forth in Section 2.03
or (ii) that, to the actual knowledge of the Owner Trustee, would result in the
Issuer's becoming taxable as a corporation for federal or state income tax
purposes. The Owners shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that
would violate the provisions of this Section.

Owner Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such

indebtedness evidenced by or arising under any Basic Document, including the

Agreement or any other Basic Document, at the request, order or direction of any
of the Owners, unless such Owners have offered to the Owner Trustee security or
indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that
may be incurred by the Owner Trustee therein or thereby; the right of the Owner
Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or in any
other Basic Document shall not be construed as a duty, and the Owner Trustee
shall not be answerable for other than its gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct in the performance of any such act.

     Section 7.02. Furnishing of Documents.

     The Owner Trustee shall furnish to the Owners, promptly upon receipt of a
written request therefor, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices,

Owner Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor and the Owners,
that:

     (a) it is a banking corporation duly organized and validly existing under
the laws of the State of Delaware; it has all requisite corporate power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement;

delivered by one of its officers who is duly authorized to execute and deliver
this Agreement on its behalf; and

     (c) neither the execution nor the delivery by it of this Agreement, nor the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by it

     (d) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the

terms, except as such enforceability may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, fraudulent conveyance or
other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and
by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability shall
be considered in a proceeding in equity or in law; and

     (e) the execution, delivery and performance by the Owner Trustee of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this

Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture,
agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the Basic Documents); and

     (f) there are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the Owner
Trustee's actual knowledge, threatened, before any court, regulatory body,

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 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.

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

good faith by it in accordance with the written opinion or advice of any such
counsel, accountants or other such persons and not contrary to this Agreement or
any other Basic Document.

Receivables. The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Certificates (other
than the signature of the Owner Trustee and the certificate of authentication on
the Trust Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and

Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Agreement, any other Basic Document or the Trust Certificates (other than the
signature of the Owner Trustee and the certificate of authentication on the
Trust Certificates and the representations and warranties in Section 7.03) or

Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee

     Section 8.01. Owner Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Owner Trustee shall

hereunder, including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of
such agents, representatives, experts and counsel as the Owner Trustee may
employ in connection with the exercise and performance of its rights and its
duties hereunder.

     Section 8.02. Indemnification. The Issuer shall be liable as primary
obligor for, and shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties from and against, any
and all Expenses which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted

or arising out of this Agreement, the other Basic Documents, the Owner Trust
Estate, the administration of the Owner Trust Estate or the action or inaction
of the Owner Trustee or any other Indemnified Party hereunder, except only that
the Issuer shall not be liable for or required to indemnify an Indemnified Party
from and against Expenses arising or resulting from any of the matters described
in the third sentence of Section 7.01. The indemnities contained in this Section
shall survive the resignation or termination of the Owner Trustee or the
termination of this Agreement. In the event of any claim, action or proceeding
for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this Section, the Owner Trustee's
choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Depositor (or if
the Depositor is no longer an owner, the designee of the Depositor), which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     Section 8.03. Payments to the Owner Trustee. Any amounts paid to the Owner
Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be deemed not to be a part of the Owner
Trust Estate immediately after such payment. Any amounts owing to the Owner
Trustee under this Agreement or the other Basic Documents shall constitute a
claim against the Owner Trust Estate.

                                  ARTICLE NINE

                         TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT

     Section 9.01. Termination of Trust Agreement.

     (a) This Agreement (other than Article Eight) and the Issuer shall
terminate in accordance with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute and be
of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase on
any Payment Date by the Servicer, or any successor Servicer, at its option,
pursuant to Section 8.01(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, of the Owner
Trust Estate other than the Accounts and the Certificate Distribution Account,
(ii) the final distribution by the Owner Trustee of all monies or other property
or proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture, the Sale and

                                       23
<PAGE>

Servicing Agreement and Article Five or (iii) the Payment Date next succeeding
the month which is one year after the maturity or other liquidation of the last
Receivable and the disposition of any amount received upon liquidation of any
property remaining in the Owner Trust Estate. The bankruptcy, liquidation,
dissolution, death or incapacity of any Owner shall not (i) operate to terminate
this Agreement or the Issuer, (ii) entitle such Owner'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 Issuer or Owner Trust
Estate or (iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto.

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

     (c) The outstanding Trust Certificates are subject to redemption in whole,
but not in part, pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement;
provided that the Issuer has available funds sufficient to pay the aggregate
Certificate Balance of all the Trust Certificates, together with accrued
interest at the Certificate Rate to but excluding the Payment Date. Notice of
any termination of the Issuer, specifying the Payment Date upon which
Certificateholders shall surrender their Trust 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(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, stating (i) the Payment
Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Trust Certificates shall
be made upon presentation and surrender of the Trust 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 Payment Date
is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of
the Trust 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 Trust Certificates,
the Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders amounts
distributable on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.02. The Owner Trustee
shall promptly notify each Rating Agency upon the final payment of the Trust
Certificates.

     (d) In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Trust 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
Trust Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Trust
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 Trust
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
escheat laws, any funds remaining in the Issuer after exhaustion of such
remedies shall be distributed by the Owner Trustee to the Depositor, in its
capacities as Depositor and as Holder of such Certificate.

Trustee shall cause the Certificate of Trust to be cancelled by filing a
certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with
Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Statute.

                     SUCCESSOR AND ADDITIONAL OWNER TRUSTEES

     Section 10.01. Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner

State of Delaware, (ii) be authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, (iii)
have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, (iv) be subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and (v) have the
Required Rating. If such corporation 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, 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 Administrator. Upon receiving such notice
of resignation, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner
Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall
be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner
Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition at the Issuer's expense
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 Section 10.01 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by
the Administrator, 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. If the Administrator shall remove the Owner
Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the
Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee,
and shall pay all fees and expenses 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

                                       25

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 Rating Agency.

     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
be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to
this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice thereof to all
Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and each Rating
Agency. If the Administrator shall fail to mail such notice within ten days
after acceptance of such appointment by the 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, 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, that such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01 and,
provided, further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or
consolidation to each Rating Agency.

     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 Administrator and Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly
with the Owner Trustee, or as 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 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request to do so, 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
Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01, except that such co-trustee or
successor trustee shall have the Required Rating, 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 provisions and conditions:

     (a) 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 Owner Trust Estate 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;

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

     (c) 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 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.

     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 co-trustee or separate trustee.

hereto, with prior written notice to each Rating Agency, with the consent of the

materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders, with the
consent of Holders (as such term is defined in the Indenture) of Notes
evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, 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

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.

other Basic Document.

     Section 11.09. No Recourse. Each Certificateholder by accepting a Trust

evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the Issuer, as defined below, the
property of which includes a pool of retail installment sale or conditional sale
contracts secured by new and used Honda and Acura motor vehicles.

     (This Trust Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of
American Honda Receivables Corp., American Honda Finance Corporation or any of
their respective affiliates.)

     THIS CERTIFIES THAT ____________________________ is the registered owner of
a 100 PERCENT nonassessable, fully-paid, undivided interest in the Honda Auto
Receivables 2003-5 Owner Trust (the "Issuer"), formed by American Honda
Receivables Corp., a California corporation (the "Depositor").

     The Issuer was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of November
18, 2003, as amended and restated by an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement
dated December 16, 2003 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the
"Trust Agreement"), between the Depositor and Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Delaware, as owner trustee (the "Owner Trustee"); a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. Capitalized terms used herein
that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Trust Agreement.

     This Trust Certificate is one of the duly authorized certificates
designated as "Asset Backed Certificates" (the "Trust Certificates"). Issued
under an Indenture dated as of December 1, 2003 (the "Indenture"), between the
Issuer and The Bank of New York, as indenture trustee, are four classes of Notes
designated as "Class A-1 1.14% Asset Backed Notes," "Class A-2

                                       A-1
<PAGE>

1.57% Asset Backed Notes", "Class A-3 2.30% Asset Backed Notes" and "Class A-4
2.96% Asset Backed Notes" (collectively, the "Notes"). This Trust Certificate is
issued under and is subject to terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust
Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the Holder of this Trust Certificate, by
virtue of its acceptance thereof, assents and by which such Holder is bound. The
property of the Issuer includes, among other things, a pool of retail
installment sale or conditional sale contracts for new and used Honda and Acura
motor vehicles (collectively, the "Receivables"), all monies received on or in
respect of the Receivables on or after December 1, 2003, 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.

     It is the intent of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificateholder
that, solely for purposes of federal income, state and local income tax and any
other income taxes, the Issuer will be treated as a disregarded entity not
separate from the sole Certificateholder. The purchaser hereof, by acceptance of
the Trust Certificates, agrees to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with
the above treatment for so long as it is the sole Owner.

     Solely in the event the Trust Certificates are held by more than a single
Owner, it is the intent of the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Certificateholders that, solely for purposes of federal income, state and local
income and single business tax and any other income taxes, the Issuer will be
treated as a partnership and the Certificateholders will be treated as partners
in the partnership. The purchaser hereof and the other Certificateholders, by
acceptance of a Trust Certificate, agree to treat, and to take no action
inconsistent with the treatment of, the Trust Certificates for such tax purposes
as partnership interests in the Issuer.

     Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Certificate, covenants
and agrees that such Certificateholder will not at any time institute against
the Depositor, or join in any institution against the Depositor 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 with any obligations relating to the Trust
Certificates, the Notes, the Trust Agreement or any other Basic Document.

     Distributions on this Trust Certificate will 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 Trust 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 Trust 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 Trust Certificate at the office or agency
maintained for the purpose by the Owner Trustee.

     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Trust
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, by manual signature, this Trust
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 TRUST CERTIFICATE 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.

(and certain other amounts), all as more specifically set forth herein and in
the Sale and Servicing Agreement. A copy of each of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined by any Certificateholder upon
written request during normal business hours at the principal office of the
Depositor and at such other places, if any, designated by the Depositor.

     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 parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Trust
Certificates and the Notes, each voting as a class, evidencing not less than a
majority of the Percentage Interests evidenced by the outstanding Trust
Certificates, or a majority of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes of
each such class. Any such consent by the Holder of this Trust Certificate shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this Trust
Certificate and of any Trust 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 Trust Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Trust Certificates.

     As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Trust Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Trust 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 Trust Certificates evidencing the same original
certificate balance in the Issuer will be issued to the designated transferee.

     Except as provided in the Trust Agreement, the Trust Certificates are
issuable only as registered Trust Certificates. As provided in the Trust
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Trust
Certificates are exchangeable for new Trust Certificates evidencing the same
aggregate original certificate balance, 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 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
Trust 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
Issuer created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of
all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the
Sale and Servicing Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of
the Owner Trust Estate. The Servicer of the Receivables may at its option
purchase the Owner Trust Estate at a price specified in the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, and such purchase of the Receivables and other property of the Issuer
will effect early retirement of the Trust Certificates; provided, however, such
right of purchase is exercisable only as of the last day of any Collection
Period as of which the Pool Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the Original
Pool Balance.

     The Trust Certificates may not be acquired by a Benefit Plan. By accepting
and holding this Trust Certificate, the Holder hereof shall be deemed to have
represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.
