     SECTION 2.01. Name. The Trust created hereby shall be known as “DaimlerChrysler Auto
Trust 2007-A,” in which name the Owner Trustee may conduct the business of the Trust, make and
execute contracts and other instruments on behalf of the Trust and sue and be sued.



     SECTION 2.02. Office. The office of the Trust shall be in care of the Owner Trustee
at the Corporate Trust Office or at such other address in Delaware as the Owner Trustee may
designate by written notice to the Owners, the Depositor and the Company.



     SECTION 2.03. Purposes and Powers. The purpose of the Trust is to engage in the
following activities:




     (i) to issue the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the Certificates pursuant to this
Agreement and to sell the Notes and the Certificates;



4









 






     (ii) with the proceeds of the sale of the Notes, to purchase the Receivables, to fund
the Reserve Account, to enter into interest rate swaps and caps and other derivative
instruments in connection with the Class A-2b Notes and the Class A-3b Notes, to pay the
organizational, start-up and transactional expenses of the Trust and to pay the balance to
the Depositor pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement;




     (iii) to assign, grant, transfer, pledge, mortgage and convey the Trust Estate pursuant
to the Indenture;




     (iv) to enter into and perform its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is
to be a party; and




     (v) to engage in those activities, including entering into agreements, that are
necessary or suitable to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected
therewith.



The Trust is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing activities. The Trust shall not engage
in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing or other than as required or authorized
by the terms of this Agreement or the Basic Documents.



     SECTION 2.04. Appointment of Owner Trustee. The Depositor hereby appoints the Owner
Trustee as trustee of the Trust effective as of the date hereof, to have all the rights, powers and
duties set forth herein.



     SECTION 2.05. Initial Capital Contribution of Owner Trust Estate. DCRR has previously
sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed and set over to the Owner Trustee, as of the date of the
Original Trust Agreement, the sum of $1. The Owner Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt in trust
from DCRR, as of the date hereof, of the foregoing contribution, which shall constitute the initial
Owner Trust Estate and shall be deposited in the Deposit Account. The Depositor will be assuming
certain rights and responsibilities of DCRR as of the date of this Agreement. Therefore, the
Depositor shall pay organizational expenses of the Trust 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
use and benefit of the Owners, subject to the obligations of the Trust under the Basic Documents.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust 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 Trust shall be treated as a security arrangement, with the assets of the Trust
being the Receivables and other assets held by the Trust, the owner of the Receivables being the
sole Owner and the Senior Notes being non-recourse debt of the sole Owner and (ii) if there is more
than one Owner, the Trust 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 Trust, the
partners of the partnership being the Owners (including the Company as assignee of the Depositor
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, in its capacity as recipient of distributions from the Reserve
Account) and the Senior



5









 







Notes being debt of the partnership. The parties agree that, unless
otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Trust will file or cause to be filed annual
or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the
Trust 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 with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust.



     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 all the Owner Trust Estate
shall be vested at all times in the Trust 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 Trust. The Trust will be located and administered in the State
of Delaware. All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be
located in the State of Delaware or the State of New York. The Trust 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 outside of the State of Delaware. Payments will
be received by the Trust only in Delaware or New York, and payments will be made by the Trust only
from Delaware or New York. The only office of the Trust will be at the Corporate Trust Office in
Delaware.



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




     (i) The Depositor is duly organized and validly existing as a limited liability company
in good standing under the laws of the State of Michigan, 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.




     (ii) The Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability
company 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.




     (iii) 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 Trust and the Depositor has
duly authorized such sale and assignment and deposit to the Trust by all necessary corporate
action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly
authorized by the Depositor by all necessary action of a limited liability company.



6









 






     (iv) 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, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default
under, the articles of organization or operating agreement of the Depositor, or 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.




     (v) To the Depositor’s best knowledge, there are no proceedings or investigations
pending or threatened before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other
governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties: (A)
asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (C) 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.




     (vi) The representations and warranties of the Company and the Depositor in Sections
3.01 and 3.02 of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct.



ARTICLE III




Certificates and Transfer of Interests




     SECTION 3.01. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution
by DCRR as described in Section 2.05 and until the issuance of the Certificates, the Depositor
shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust.



     SECTION 3.02. The Certificates. The Certificates shall be issued in minimum
denominations of a one percent Percentage Interest in the Trust. The Certificates shall be
executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized 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 validly issued 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 Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and
delivery of such Certificates.



     A transferee of a 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 Certificate duly registered in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.04.



     SECTION 3.03. Authentication of Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee
shall cause the Certificates in an aggregate Percentage Interest equal to 100% to be executed on
behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the



7









 







Depositor,
signed by its chairman of the board, its president, any vice president, secretary or any assistant
treasurer, without further corporate action by the Depositor, in the authorized denominations. No
Certificate shall entitle its Owner to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose
unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the Trust’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 3.04. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of the Certificates; Limitations on
Transfer. (a) The Trust shall cause to be kept a Certificate Register in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trust shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and the registration of transfers of Certificates. The Trust hereby appoints the
Indenture Trustee to be the initial “Certificate Registrar” for the purpose of the registration of
the Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon any
resignation of any Certificate Registrar, the Trust shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it
elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Certificate Registrar.



     (b) The Certificates have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and
will not be listed on any exchange. No transfer of a 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. Except in the case of transfers made on the Closing
Date to the Company or any of its affiliates (including Chrysler Residual Depositor LLC and
Chrysler Retail Residual Trust (or Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as indenture trustee
therefor)) (the “Residual Transfers”), 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 Owner desiring to effect such transfer and such Owner’s
prospective transferee shall each certify to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar in
writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit C (the
“Transferor Certificate”) and either Exhibit D (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit E (the “Rule
144A Letter”). Except in the case of (i) Residual Transfers or (ii) a transfer as to which the
proposed transferee has provided a Rule 144A Letter, there shall also be delivered to the Owner
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant
to an exemption from the Securities Act and state securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall
not be an expense of the Trust or the Owner Trustee; provided that such Opinion of Counsel in
respect of the applicable state securities laws may be a memorandum of law rather than an opinion
if such counsel is not licensed in the applicable jurisdiction. The Depositor shall provide to any
Owner of a Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Owner, information
regarding the 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
Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration
exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Owner of a Certificate desiring to effect such a transfer
shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust, 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



8









 







or the Certificate Registrar shall cause each
Certificate to contain a legend in the form set forth on the form of Certificate attached hereto as
Exhibit A.



     (c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office or agency
maintained pursuant to Section 3.08 and subject to the satisfaction of the preceding paragraph, the
Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause the Indenture Trustee as the
Trust’s authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee
or transferees, one or more new Certificates of like tenor and in authorized denominations of a
like aggregate Percentage Interest 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 and the Certificate Registrar shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
the proposed transfer will not cause the Trust to be characterized as an association (or a publicly
traded partnership) taxable as a corporation or alter the tax characterization of the Senior Notes
for federal income tax purposes or Michigan income and single business tax purposes. At the option
of an Owner, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of like tenor and of authorized
denominations of a like aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08.



     (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 Owner or such Owner’s attorney duly authorized in
writing. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled
and subsequently disposed of by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in accordance with
its customary practice.



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



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



     (g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to Section 3.04(h) below, no
Certificate shall be transferred without a simultaneous transfer of an identical Percentage
Interest of the Class D Notes to the same transferee. Any purported transfer of a Certificate
without such simultaneous transfer of Class D Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
be null and void ab initio. The Notes Registrar and the Certificate Registrar shall maintain
records with respect to ownership and transfers of the Class D Notes identical in all respect to
the records maintained with respect to the Certificates.



     (h) The preceding Section 3.04(g) shall not apply if the Owner of a Certificate shall have (at
its sole expense) supplied the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar with an opinion of
nationally recognized tax counsel to the effect that a transfer of a Certificate that is



9









 







not in
accordance with the preceding Section 3.04(g) would not cause the Trust to be treated as a
corporation or an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.



     SECTION 3.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated
Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar
shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and
(b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice
that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of
the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee, as the Owner Trustee’s
authenticating agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and denomination.
In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any
time.



     SECTION 3.06. Persons Deemed Owners. 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 is registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.02 and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be bound by
any notice to the contrary.



     SECTION 3.07. Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The
Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer and the Depositor,
within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar 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 a Certificateholder applies in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such application states
that the applicant desires to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their
rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within
five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicant access during
normal business hours to the current list of Certificateholders. Each Owner, by receiving and
holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Depositor, the Company
or the Certificate Registrar 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 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 Trust initially designates the Certificate Registrar, as its office for such purposes.
The Trust shall give prompt written notice to the Company and to the Certificateholders of any
change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.



10









 






     SECTION 3.09. Definitive Certificates. The Certificates, upon original issuance, will
be issued in definitive, fully registered form.

Trustee to take or to refrain from taking any action if such action or inaction would be contrary
to any obligation of the Trust or the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic
Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.03, nor shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow
any such direction, if given.



     SECTION 4.05. Majority Control. Except as expressly provided herein, any action that
may be taken by the Owners of the Certificates may be taken by Owners of Certificates evidencing
not less than a majority of the Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates. Except as

execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be a party and each certificate or
other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust
is to be a party and any amendment or other agreement or instrument, in each case, in such form as
the Company shall approve, 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 Trust 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. It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge
(or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and
the Basic Documents to which the Trust is a party and to administer the Trust in 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 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 IV and in accordance
with the terms of the Basic Documents, the Owners may by written instruction direct

the Owner
Trustee in the management of the Trust. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written
instruction of the Owners pursuant to Article IV.



     (b) The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any 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 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 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 10 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 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.

this Agreement or any 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 10 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 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

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 Basic
Document against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any
financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or
maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or
file any Securities and Exchange Commission filing for the Trust or to record this Agreement or any
Basic Document. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense,
promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens on any part of the Owner Trust
Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee that are not related to
the ownership or the administration of the Owner Trust Estate.

Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the
Owner Trust Estate except (i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred

(iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to
Section 6.03.



     SECTION 6.06. Restrictions. The Owner Trustee shall not take any action (a) that is
inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.03 or (b) that, to the actual
knowledge of the Owner Trustee, would result in the Trust’s becoming taxable as a corporation for
federal income tax purposes. Prior to the payment in full of the Senior Notes, the Owners shall
not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section.

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 any 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, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld.



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



ARTICLE IX




Termination of Trust Agreement




     SECTION 9.01. Termination of Trust Agreement. (a) The Trust shall dissolve upon the
final distribution of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The bankruptcy,
liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of any Owner shall not (x) operate to dissolve or
terminate this Agreement or the Trust or (y) 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 Trust or Owner Trust Estate or (z) otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.



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



     (c) Notice of any dissolution of the Trust, specifying the date upon which Certificateholders
shall surrender their Certificates to the Owner Trustee for cancellation shall be given by the
Owner Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed within five Business Days of receipt of a
termination notice of such termination from the Servicer given pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement. The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if
other than the Owner Trustee) at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.



     In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for
cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the
Owner Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender
their Certificates for cancellation. 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.



19









 





     (d) Upon the winding up of the Trust in accordance with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust
Statute, the Owner Trustee, at the expense of the Depositor shall cause the Certificate of Trust to
be cancelled by filing a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with
the provisions of Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Statute and the Trust and this Agreement
(other than Article VIII) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.



ARTICLE X




Successor Owner Trustees and Additional Owner Trustees




     SECTION 10.01. Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall at
all times be a corporation satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust
Statute; authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities; and
having (or having a parent that has) time deposits that are rated at least “F1” by Fitch, “A-1” by
Standard & Poor’s and “P-1” by Moody’s or otherwise be acceptable to the Rating Agencies. 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
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.



     If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of Section 10.01 and shall fail to resign 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 owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.



20









 





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



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



     No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall 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 the Rating Agencies. If the Administrator shall fail to mail such notice within
10 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 Person into which the
Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party,
or any Person 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 Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01
and, provided, further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to
the Rating Agencies; provided, however, that in no event shall any such Person become the successor
Owner Trustee hereunder until the Trust shall have received all such licenses, consents or
approvals (or amendments or endorsements thereto) relating to the change in Owner Trustee that are
required under the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Sales Finance Act and the Annotated Code of Maryland
Financial Institutions § 11-403 in connection with the operation of the Trust.



     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



21









 







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 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 Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 and no notice of the appointment
of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.03.



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



22









 







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.



ARTICLE XI




Miscellaneous




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



     This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Company and the
Owner Trustee, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, with the consent of the Holders
(as defined in the Indenture) of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes, the consent of the Owners of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority
of the Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates, for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying
in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no
such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the
timing of, collections of payments on the Receivables or distributions that shall be required to be
made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes or of the Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates required to
consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all the outstanding Notes and
the Owners of the Certificates.



     Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Owner Trustee shall furnish
written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each Certificateholder, the
Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies.



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



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



     Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or the Certificate of Trust, the
Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the



23









 







execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement. The Owner Trustee
may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment that affects the Owner Trustee’s
own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.



     In connection with the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or any amendment of any
other agreement to which the Trust is a party, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive and
conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment is authorized or
permitted by the Basic Documents and that all conditions precedent in the Basic Documents for the
execution and delivery thereof by the Trust or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, have been
satisfied.



     Prior to the payment in full of the Senior Notes, this Agreement may be amended upon the
request of any Certificateholder to permit the transfer of the Certificates other than in
accordance with Section 3.04(g), which amendment may include the addition or deletion of any
provisions appropriate thereto; provided that the requesting Certificateholder shall have (at its
sole expense) supplied the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with an opinion of nationally
recognized counsel to the effect that the execution of such amendment will not result in the
recognition by any Holder of a Senior Note of a “taxable event” within the meaning of Section 1001
of the Code or adversely affect any rights or remedies of any Holder of a Senior Note.



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



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



     SECTION 11.04. Notices. (a) Unless otherwise expressly specified or permitted by the
terms hereof, all notices shall be in writing and shall be deemed given upon receipt by the
intended recipient or three Business Days after mailing if mailed by certified mail, postage
prepaid (except that notice to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed given only upon actual receipt by

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



     SECTION 11.05. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.



     SECTION 11.06. Separate Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.



     SECTION 11.07. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained herein
shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Depositor and its permitted assignees, the
Owner Trustee and its successors and each Owner and its successors and permitted assigns, all as
herein provided. Any request, notice, direction, consent, waiver or other instrument or action by
an Owner shall bind the successors and assigns of such Owner.



     SECTION 11.08. No Petition. The Owner Trustee, by entering into this Agreement, each
Certificateholder, by accepting a Certificate, and the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder, by
accepting the benefits of this Agreement, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time
institute against the Company or the Trust, or join in any institution against the Company or the
Trust of, any bankruptcy proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar
law in connection with any obligations relating to the Certificates, the Notes, this Agreement or
any of the Basic Documents.



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



     SECTION 11.10. 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

CERTIFICATE



evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the Trust, as defined below, the property of which
includes a pool of retail installment sale contracts (as defined herein) secured by new and used
automobiles and light duty trucks.



(This Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of DaimlerChrysler Financial
Services Americas LLC or any of its affiliates, except to the extent described below.)




     THIS CERTIFIES THAT                                          is the registered owner of a
                                         PERCENT nonassessable, fully-paid, undivided percentage interest in
DaimlerChrysler Auto Trust 2007-A (the “Trust”), formed by DaimlerChrysler Financial Services
Americas LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (the “Depositor”), and DaimlerChrysler Retail
Receivables LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (the “DCRR”).



A-1









 





     The Trust was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of November 1, 2006, as amended
and restated by the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated as of November 1, 2007 (as so
amended and restated and further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Trust Agreement”),
among the Depositor, DCRR and The Bank of New York (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 or the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 1, 2007 (as
amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”), between the Trust
and the Depositor, as seller and as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), as applicable.



     This Certificate is one of the duly authorized class of certificates (herein called the
“Certificates”). Also issued under an Indenture dated as of November 1, 2007 (the “Indenture”),
between the Trust and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee, are the nine classes of Notes
designated as “Class A-1 4.94500% Asset Backed Notes,” “Class A-2a 4.94% Asset Backed Notes,”
“Class A-2b Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes,” “Class A-3a 5.00% Asset Backed Notes,” “Class A-3b
Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes,” “Class A-4 5.28% Asset Backed Notes,” “Class B 6.25% Asset
Backed Notes,” “Class C 6.25% Asset Backed Notes” and “Class D Asset Backed Notes” (collectively,
the “Notes”). This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the Owner of this Certificate by virtue
of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Owner is bound. The property of the Trust
consists of a pool of retail installment sale contracts for new and used automobiles and light duty
trucks (collectively, the “Receivables”), all monies received after October 31, 2007, 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, the Hedges and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and all proceeds of the foregoing.



     It is the intent of the Depositor, Chrysler Residual Holdco LLC (the “Company”), DCRR, the
Servicer and the Certificateholder that, for purposes of federal income, state and local income and
single business tax and any other income taxes, the Trust will be treated as a security arrangement
for the issuance of debt by the Company. The Company, by acceptance of the Certificates, agrees to
treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the above treatment for so long as the Company is
the sole Owner.



     Solely in the event the Certificates are held by more than a single Owner, it is the intent of
the Depositor, the Company, DCRR, the Servicer and the Certificateholders that, for purposes of
federal income, state and local income and single business tax and any other income taxes, the
Trust will be treated as a partnership and the Certificateholders (including the Company) will be
treated as partners in the partnership. The Company 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 partnership interests in the Trust.



     Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate covenants and agrees that such
Certificateholder will not at any time institute against the Company, or join in any institution
against the Company of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation



A-2









 







proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or
similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Certificates, the Notes, the Trust
Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.



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



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



     THIS 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

[REVERSE OF CERTIFICATE]




     The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Company, DCRR, the Owner Trustee or any affiliates of any of them and no recourse may
be had against such parties or their assets, except as expressly set forth or contemplated herein
or in the Trust Agreement or the Basic Documents. 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 Company and the rights
of the Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Company and
the Owner Trustee with the consent of the holders of the Certificates and the Notes evidencing not
less than a majority of the Percentage Interests evidenced by the outstanding Certificates or a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes. Any such consent by the Owner of this Certificate
shall be conclusive and binding on such Owner and on all future Owners 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 limited circumstances, without the consent of the Owners of any
of the Certificates.



     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 Trust in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly
executed by the Owner hereof or such Owner’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the
Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed
under the Trust Agreement is Citibank, N.A.



     Except as provided in the Trust Agreement, the Certificates are issuable only as registered
Certificates. 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 Owner 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 Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any such
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.



     The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust created
thereby shall terminate upon the 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 Trust will effect early retirement of the 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 Certificates may not be acquired by (a) an employee benefit plan (as defined in
Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a plan described
in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or (c) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by
reason of a plan’s investment in the entity or which uses plan assets to acquire the Certificates
(each, a “Benefit Plan”). By accepting and holding this Certificate, the Owner hereof shall be
deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.
