surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Trustee harmless, then, in the

the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note;
provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall

redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may direct the Trustee, in writing,

payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a
bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents

of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or
indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the
Issuer or the Trustee in connection therewith.

          Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Issuer may require the
payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the
fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

          Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of
the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

14

 

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

more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date, by check mailed first-class, postage
prepaid, to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except
that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.12, with respect to Notes
registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such
nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee and except
for the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Distribution Date or
on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called
for redemption pursuant to Section 10.1(a)) which shall be payable as provided below. The funds
represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.3.

          (b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Distribution Date, as
applicable, as provided in the forms of the Class A-1 Note, the Class A-2 Note, the Class A-3 Note,
the Class B Note, the Class C Note, the Class D Note and the Class E Note set forth in Exhibits
A-1, A-2, A-3, B, C, D and E, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid
principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on
which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Trustee or the Majority
Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in
Section 5.2. All principal payments on each class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the
Noteholders of such class entitled thereto. Upon written notice from the Issuer, the Trustee shall
notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
preceding the Distribution Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal
of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile
prior to such final Distribution Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable
only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may
be presented and surrendered for payment of such

15

 

installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2.

          (c) If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, and such default is waived
by the Controlling Party, acting at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, the Issuer shall pay
defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the
applicable Interest Rate in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay such defaulted interest to the
Persons who are Noteholders on the immediately following Distribution Date, and, if such amount is
not paid on such following Distribution Date, then on a subsequent special record date, which date
shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to
be fixed any such special record date and payment date, and, at least 15 days before any such
special record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Trustee a notice that states
the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

          SECTION 2.8 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer,
exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to
the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to
the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the
Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly
canceled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes
canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All
canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention
or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall timely direct by an Issuer Order that they
be destroyed or returned to it; provided that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not
been previously disposed of by the Trustee.

          SECTION 2.9 Release of Collateral. The Trust Collateral Agent shall, on or after the
Termination Date, release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate from the lien created by this
Indenture and deposit in the Collection Account any funds then on deposit in any other Trust
Account. The Trust Collateral Agent shall release property from the lien created by this Indenture
pursuant to this Section 2.9 only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer’s
Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the TIA) Independent Certificates in
accordance with TIA §§ 314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.1.

          SECTION 2.10 Book-Entry Notes. The Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Notes,
upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry
Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on
behalf of, the Issuer. Such Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name
of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner will receive a
Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section
2.12. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have
been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12:

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

16

 

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

     (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other
provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall control;

     (iv) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and
shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the
Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive Notes
are issued pursuant to Section 2.12, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry
transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of
principal of and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants;

     (v) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon
instructions or directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such
percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note
Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively,
such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such
instructions to the Trustee; and

     (vi) Note Owners may receive copies of any reports sent to Noteholders pursuant to this
Indenture, upon written request, together with a certification that they are Note Owners and
payment of reproduction and postage expenses associated with the distribution of such
reports, from the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office.

          SECTION 2.11 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the
Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been
issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications specified herein to be given to the Noteholders to the Clearing Agency, and shall
have no obligation to the Note Owners.

          SECTION 2.12 Definitive Notes. If (i) the Servicer advises the Trustee in writing that the
Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with
respect to the Notes, and the Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Majority Noteholders advise the Trustee through the Clearing
Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no
longer in the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note
Owners and the Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the typewritten Note or
Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration
instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in
accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or
the Trustee shall be liable for any

17

 

delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively
rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Notes, the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

ARTICLE III

          SECTION 3.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer will duly and punctually pay the
principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this
Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing, the Issuer will cause to be distributed all amounts on
deposit in the Note Distribution Account on a Distribution Date deposited therein pursuant to the

payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes
of this Indenture.

          SECTION 3.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer will maintain in New York, New
York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange,
and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may
be served. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Trustee to serve as its agent for the
foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and
of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail
to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address
thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office,
and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and
demands.

          SECTION 3.3 Money for Payments to be Held in Trust. On or before each Distribution Date
and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Note Distribution
Account from the Collection Account an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming
due under the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto
and (unless the Note Paying Agent is the Trustee) shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action
or failure so to act.

          The Issuer will cause each Note Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to
the Trustee an instrument in which such Note Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee (and if the
Trustee acts as Note Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section,
that such Note Paying Agent will:

     (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid

18

 

to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons
as herein provided;

     (ii) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon
the Notes) of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made
with respect to the Notes;

     (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request
of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Note Paying
Agent;

     (iv) immediately resign as a Note Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Trustee all
sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the
standards required to be met by a Note Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

     (v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any
payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed
thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection
therewith.

          The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Note Paying Agent to pay to the
Trustee all sums held in trust by such Note Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon
the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Note Paying Agent; and upon such a
payment by any Note Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Note Paying Agent shall be released from all
further liability with respect to such money.

          Subject to applicable laws with respect to the escheat of funds, any money held by the Trustee
or any Note Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged
from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request and shall be deposited by the Trustee
in the Collection Account; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so
paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Trustee or such Note Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Note Paying
Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Issuer cause
to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on
each Business Day and of general circulation in New York, New York, notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the
date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the
Issuer. The Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable
means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such
repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or
whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the
records of the Trustee or of any Note Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such
Holder).

          SECTION 3.4 Existence. Except as otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 3.10,
the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under
the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or
becomes, organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States of America, in which
case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of
such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each

enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement
included in the Trust Estate.

respect of the Trust Estate, and the Issuer shall take all actions necessary to obtain and
maintain, in favor of the Trust Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Issuer Secured Parties, a
first lien on and a first priority, perfected security interest in the Trust Estate. The Issuer will from time to time prepare (or shall cause to be prepared),
execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements,
continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such
other action necessary or advisable to:

     (i) Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Trust Estate;

Collateral Agent in such Trust Estate against the claims of all persons and parties; and

financing statements and continuation statements, as are necessary to perfect and

20

 

make effective the first priority lien and security interest in favor of the Trust Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Issuer Secured Parties, created by this Indenture and reciting the details of such
action, or stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such
lien and security interest effective.

          (b) Within 120 days after the beginning of each calendar year, beginning with the first
calendar year beginning more than six months after the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to
the Trustee, Trust Collateral Agent and the Backup Servicer an Opinion of Counsel either stating
that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording,

this Indenture and reciting the details of such action or stating that in the opinion of such
counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest. Such Opinion of
Counsel shall also describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this
Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and the
execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements that will, in the
opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture
until January 31 in the following calendar year.

          SECTION 3.7 Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables.

          (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action
to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person’s material covenants or
obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or that would result in
the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or
effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as ordered by any bankruptcy or other
court or as expressly provided in this Indenture, the Basic Documents or such other instrument or
agreement.

          (b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under

this Indenture.

occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall
promptly notify the Trustee and the Rating Agencies thereof in accordance with Section 11.4, and
shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking in respect of such default.
If a Servicer Termination Event shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its
duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Receivables, the
Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.

          (e) The Issuer agrees that it will not waive timely performance or observance by the Servicer

adversely affect the Holders of the Notes.

not:

     (iii) (A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or
permit the lien in favor of the Trust Collateral Agent created by this Indenture to be
amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be
released from any covenants or obligations with respect to the Notes under this Indenture
except as may be expressly permitted hereby, (B) permit any lien, charge, excise, claim,

     (i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

     (A) all payments of principal of and interest on all Notes and all other
amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if the Event of Default

in the name of the Controlling Party as well as in the name, place and stead of such Issuer Secured
Party such acts, things and deeds for or on behalf of and in the name of such Issuer Secured Party
under this Indenture (including specifically under Section 5.4) and under the Basic Documents which
such Issuer Secured Party could or might do or which may be necessary, desirable or convenient in
such Controlling Party’s sole discretion to effect the purposes contemplated hereunder and under
the Basic Documents and, without limitation, following the occurrence of an Event of Default,
exercise full right, power and authority to take, or defer from taking, any and all acts with
respect to the administration, maintenance or disposition of the Trust Estate.

          (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion, as
more particularly provided in Section 5.4, and shall, at the direction of the Majority Noteholders,
proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate
Proceedings as the Trustee or the Trustee at the direction of such Majority

or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate, proceedings under Title
11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of
the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable
Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property
of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any
Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this
Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

     (i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest
owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may

liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee,
except as a result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) and of the Noteholders

is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event
that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to

31

 

pay to
the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee,
each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses
and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except
as a result of negligence or bad faith.

          (f) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent
to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or
to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such Proceeding
except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person.

          (g) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture or under any of the
Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production
thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any
recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the
Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

          (h) In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the
interpretation of any provision of this Indenture), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the
Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such

          SECTION 5.4 Remedies.

          (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may do one or
more of the following (subject to Section 5.5):

     (i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the
collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect
thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect
from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such moneys adjudged due;

     (ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of
this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;

     (iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other
appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Trustee and the
Holders of the Notes; and

     (iv) direct the Trust Collateral Agent to sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof
or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted
in any manner permitted by law; provided, however, that, the Trustee may not sell or
otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default unless

32

 

     (I) such Event of Default is of the type described in Section 5.1(i) or
(ii), or

     (II) either

     (x) the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
consent thereto, or

     (y) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to
the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then
due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest, or

     (z) the Trustee determines that the Trust Estate will not
continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of
and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes
had not been declared due and payable, and the Trustee provides prior
written notice to the Rating Agencies and obtains the consent of
Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

          In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (y) and (z), the
Trustee may, but need not, obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent
investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed
action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

          SECTION 5.5 Optional Preservation of the Receivables. If the Notes have been declared to
be due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its
consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Trustee may, but need not, elect to direct
the Trust Collateral Agent to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the
parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Trustee shall take such desire into account when
determining whether or not to direct the Trust Collateral Agent to maintain possession of the Trust
Estate. In determining whether to direct the Trust Collateral Agent to maintain possession of the
Trust Estate, the Trustee may, but need not, obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an
Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of
such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right
or remedy.

          SECTION 5.11 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee, the
Controlling Party or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any
Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any
such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this
Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

          SECTION 5.12 Control by Noteholders. The Majority Noteholders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trust Collateral Agent, as Controlling Party, or the
Trustee, as applicable, with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Controlling Party or the Trustee, as applicable; provided that

     (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture;

36

 

     (ii) subject to the express terms of Section 5.4, any direction to the Trustee to sell
or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by the Noteholders representing not less than 100% of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes;

     (iii) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied and the Trustee
elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the
Trustee by Noteholders representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes to
sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

     (iv) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not
inconsistent with such direction;

provided, however, that, subject to Article VI, the Trustee need not take any action that it
determines might involve it in liability, financial or otherwise, without receiving indemnity
satisfactory to it, or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not
consenting to such action.

          SECTION 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the
maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.4, the Majority Noteholders may waive any past
Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or
interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such
waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

          Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and
not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured
and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

          SECTION 5.14 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder
of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may
in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion
assess reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against
any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any
suit instituted by the Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders,
in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c)
any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or
interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this
Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

37

 

          SECTION 5.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever,
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture;
and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or
advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of
any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted.

          SECTION 5.16 Action on Notes. The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the
Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any
other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any
rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any
judgment by the Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon
any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.

          SECTION 5.17 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

          (a) Promptly following a request from the Trustee to do so and at the Servicer’s expense, the
Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action as the Trustee may request to compel or secure the
performance and observance by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their
obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement in
accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and
privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Trustee, including the transmission of
notices of default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of
legal or administrative actions or Proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the
Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

          (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Party may, and, at
the written direction of the Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall,
subject to Article VI, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer
against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or
observance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and
to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

ARTICLE VI

The Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent

          SECTION 6.1 Duties of Trustee.

          (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the
rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and the Basic Documents to which it

under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

          (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

   (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be

whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture.

          (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

   (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section;

   (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the

          (f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that
repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability
is not assured to it.

          (g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1 and to
the provisions of the TIA.

          (h) The Trustee shall, and hereby agrees that it will, perform all of the obligations and
duties required of it under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

39

 

          (i) [Reserved].

          (j) Without limiting the generality of this Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have no duty (i) to
see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or
any financing statement evidencing a security interest in the Financed Vehicles, or to see to the
maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any recording, refiling or
redepositing of any thereof, (ii) to see to any insurance of the Financed Vehicles or Obligors or
to effect or maintain any such insurance, (iii) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax,
assessment or other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect
to, assessed or levied against any part of the Trust, (iv) to confirm or verify the contents of any

Servicing Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties, or (v) to inspect the Financed Vehicles at any time or ascertain or
inquire as to the performance of observance of any of the Issuer’s, the Seller’s or the Servicer’s
representations, warranties or covenants or the Servicer’s duties and obligations as Servicer and

          (k) In no event shall Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in any of its capacities
hereunder, be deemed to have assumed any duties of the Owner Trustee under the Delaware Statutory
Trust Statute, common law, or the Trust Agreement.

          SECTION 6.2 Rights of Trustee.

          (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter
stated in the document.

          (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith in reliance on the Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

          (c) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the
Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part
of, or for the supervision of, AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc., or any other such agent,
attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.

          (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the
Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

          (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to
legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and
protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in
good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

40

 

          (f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation
under this Indenture or in relation to this Indenture, at the request, order or direction of any of
the Noteholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have
offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
that may be incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that the Trustee shall, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been cured), exercise the rights and powers vested
in it by this Indenture with reasonable care and skill.

          (g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated
in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the
Noteholders evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount thereof; provided, however, that
if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely
to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture or
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost,
expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such
examination shall be paid by the Person making such request, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be
reimbursed by the Person making such request upon demand.

          (h) The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses on investments except for losses resulting
from the failure of the Trustee to make an investment in accordance with instructions given in
accordance hereunder. If the Trustee acts as the Note Paying Agent or Note Registrar, the rights
and protections afforded to the Trustee shall be afforded to the Note Paying Agent and Note
Registrar.

          SECTION 6.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Note Paying Agent, Note
Registrar, co-registrar or co-Note Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the
Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.

          SECTION 6.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture, the Trust Estate or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the
Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of
the Issuer in the Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or
in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

          SECTION 6.5 Notice of Defaults. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it
is either known by, or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to, a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within 90
days after such knowledge or notice occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of
principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption
provisions of such Note), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

41

 

          SECTION 6.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders. At the end of each calendar year, the Trustee
shall deliver to each person who at any time during the calendar year was a Noteholder a statement
as to the aggregate amounts of interest and principal paid to the Noteholder and any other
information as may be reasonably required to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state
income tax returns.

          SECTION 6.7 Compensation and Indemnity.

          (a) Pursuant to Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall, or shall
cause the Servicer to, pay to the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Backup Servicer
(subject to any applicable caps) from time to time compensation for its services. The Trustee’s
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The
Issuer shall cause the Servicer to reimburse the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Backup
Servicer (subject to any applicable caps) for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or
made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such
expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee’s, the Trust Collateral Agent’s and the Backup Servicer’s agents, counsel, accountants and
experts. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent,
the Backup Servicer and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents against any and
all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by each of them in
connection with the acceptance or the administration of this Trust and the performance of its
duties hereunder. The Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Backup Servicer shall notify the
Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the
Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Backup Servicer to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer
shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder or the Servicer of its obligations under
Article XI of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to defend the
claim, and the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Backup Servicer may have separate counsel
and the Issuer shall cause the Servicer to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the
Issuer nor the Servicer need to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or
expense incurred by the
Trustee, Trust Collateral Agent or the Backup Servicer through the Trustee’s, Trust Collateral
Agent’s or the Backup Servicer’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

          (b) The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Backup
Servicer pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent or the Backup Servicer. When
the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Backup Servicer incurs expenses after the occurrence
of a Default specified in Section 5.1(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are
intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any
other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. Notwithstanding anything
else set forth in this Indenture or the Basic Documents, the Trustee agrees that the obligations of
the Issuer (but not the Servicer) to the Trustee hereunder and under the Basic Documents shall be
recourse to the Trust Estate only and specifically shall not be recourse to the assets of the
Certificateholder or any Noteholder. In addition, the Trustee agrees that its recourse to the
Issuer, the Trust Estate and the Seller shall be limited to the right to receive the distributions
referred to in Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

42

 

          SECTION 6.8 Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the
Issuer. The Issuer may and shall, remove the Trustee, if:

     (i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

     (ii) a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Trustee in an
involuntary case or proceeding under federal or State banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or
hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law, shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar
official) for the Trustee or for any substantial part of the Trustee’s property, or ordering
the winding-up or liquidation of the Trustee’s affairs;

     (iii) an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in
effect, or another present or future federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law
is commenced with respect to the Trustee and such case is not dismissed within 60 days;

     (iv) the Trustee commences a voluntary case under any federal or state banking or
bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or State
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or taking
possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator,
sequestrator (or other similar official) for the Trustee or for any substantial part of the
Trustee’s property, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or fails generally
to pay its debts as such debts become due or takes any action in furtherance of any of the
foregoing; or

     (v) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
retiring Trustee under this Indenture subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. The
successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Trustee shall
promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee.

          If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns
or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Majority Noteholders may petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

43

 

          Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to
any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by
the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the
outgoing Trustee.

          Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s and the
Servicer’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

          SECTION 6.9 Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or
converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to,
another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or
banking association, without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. The Trustee shall
provide the Rating Agencies written notice of any such transaction.

          In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the
Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at
that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may
authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which
it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall
have.

          SECTION 6.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

          (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of
meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the
time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate
trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part
hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate
trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 6.8 hereof.

          (b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed
and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

     (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee
shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the 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 Trustee joining in such act),
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act

44

 

or
acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to the Trust 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 Trustee;

     (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission
of any other trustee hereunder, including acts or omissions of predecessor or successor
trustees; and

     (iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
trustee or co-trustee.

          (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the 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 Indenture
and the conditions of this Article VI. 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 Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject
to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.
Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

          (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee, 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 Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, dissolve, become insolvent, become incapable of acting,
resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall invest in
and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new
or successor trustee.

          (e) Any and all amounts relating to the fees and expenses of the co-trustee or separate
trustee will be borne by the Trust Estate.

          SECTION 6.11 Eligibility: Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy
the requirements of TIA § 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and it shall
have a long-term debt rating of BBB-, or an equivalent rating, or better by the Rating Agencies.
The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the
second sentence of TIA § 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the
operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities of the Issuer
are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

          Within 90 days after ascertaining the occurrence of an Event of Default which shall not have
been cured or waived, unless authorized by the Commission, the Trustee shall resign with respect to
the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and/or the Class E Notes
in accordance with Section 6.8 of this Indenture, and the Issuer shall

45

 

appoint a successor Trustee
for each of such Classes, as applicable, so that there will be separate Trustees for the the Class
A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes. In the
event the Trustee fails to comply with the terms of the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall
comply with clauses (ii) and (iii) of TIA Section 310(b).

          In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to any Class of
Notes pursuant to this Section 6.11, the Issuer, the retiring Trustee and the successor Trustee
with respect to such Class of Notes shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such
provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, the
successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to
the Notes of the Class to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the
retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Classes of Notes, shall contain such
provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes of each Class as to which the retiring
Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the Trustee and (iii) shall add to or change
any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing
herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same
trust and that each such Trustee shall be a trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and
apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided herein.

          SECTION 6.12 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The Trustee shall comply
with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has
resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

          SECTION 6.13 Appointment and Powers. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each of
the Issuer Secured Parties hereby appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Trust
Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association hereby
accepts such appointment and agrees to act as Trust Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral
for the Issuer Secured Parties, to maintain custody and possession of such Collateral (except as
otherwise provided hereunder) and to perform the other duties of the Trust Collateral Agent in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the other Basic Documents. Each Issuer
Secured Party hereby authorizes the Trust Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf, and
to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder, as the Trustee may direct and
as are specifically authorized to be exercised by the Trust Collateral Agent by the terms hereof,
together with such actions, rights, remedies, powers and privileges as are reasonably incidental
thereto, including, but not limited to, the execution of any powers of attorney. The Trustee shall
act upon and in compliance with the written instructions of the Controlling Party delivered
pursuant to this Indenture promptly following receipt of such written instructions; provided that
neither the Trustee nor the Trust Collateral Agent shall act upon its own accord or in accordance
with any instructions if such actions (i) are not authorized by, or in violation of the provisions
of, this Indenture, (ii) are in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or (iii) with
respect to actions for which the Trustee has been

46

 

directed to act but for which the Trustee has not
received reasonable indemnity. Receipt of such instructions shall not be a condition to the
exercise by the Trust Collateral Agent of its express duties hereunder, except where this Indenture
provides that the Trust Collateral Agent is permitted to act only following and in accordance with
such instructions.

          SECTION 6.14 Performance of Duties. The Trust Collateral Agent shall have no duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Indenture and the other Basic Documents
to which the Trust Collateral Agent is a party or as directed by the Controlling Party in
accordance with this Indenture. The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any
discretionary actions hereunder as Controlling Party or otherwise unless it shall have received
reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trust Collateral Agent. The Trust Collateral
Agent shall, and hereby agrees that it will, subject to this Article, perform all of the duties and
obligations required of it under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

          SECTION 6.15 Limitation on Liability. Neither the Trust Collateral Agent nor any of its
directors, officers or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
or them hereunder, or in connection herewith, except that the Trust Collateral Agent shall be
liable for its negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct; nor shall the Trust Collateral Agent be responsible for the validity, effectiveness,
value, sufficiency or enforceability against the Issuer of this Indenture or any of the Collateral
(or any part thereof). Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Indenture, the Trust
Collateral Agent shall incur no liability to the Issuer or the Issuer Secured Parties for any
action taken or omitted by the Trust Collateral Agent in connection with the Collateral, except for
the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trust Collateral Agent, and,
further, shall incur no liability to the Issuer Secured Parties except for negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct in carrying out its duties to the Issuer Secured Parties. The Trust Collateral
Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability to any such party in relying upon the
accuracy, acting in reliance upon the contents, and assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand,
certificate, signature, instrument or other document reasonably believed by the Trust Collateral
Agent to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the appropriate signatory, and (absent actual
knowledge to the contrary by a Responsible Officer of the Trust Collateral Agent) the Trust
Collateral Agent shall not be required to make any independent investigation with respect thereto.
The Trust Collateral Agent shall at all times be free independently to establish to its reasonable
satisfaction, but shall have no duty to independently verify, the existence or nonexistence of
facts that are a condition to the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder or under
any of the Basic Documents. The Trust Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance
with the advice of such counsel. The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to
exercise any of the remedial rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to follow any
direction from the Trustee or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder unless it shall have received reasonable security or
indemnity satisfactory to the Trust Collateral Agent against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which might be incurred by it.

          SECTION 6.16 Reliance Upon Documents. In the absence of negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct on its part, the Trust Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any
communication, instrument, paper or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons and shall

47

 

have no liability
in acting, or omitting to act, where such action or omission to act is in reasonable reliance upon
any statement or opinion contained in any such document or instrument.

          SECTION 6.17 Successor Trust Collateral Agent.

          (a) Merger. Any Person into which the Trust Collateral Agent may be converted or
merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its trust
business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any Person resulting from any such
conversion, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer to which the Trust Collateral Agent is a party,
shall (provided it is otherwise qualified to serve as the Trust Collateral Agent hereunder) be and
become a successor Trust Collateral Agent hereunder and be vested with all of the title to and
interest in the Collateral and all of the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and
other matters as was its predecessor without the execution or filing of any instrument or any
further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, except to the extent, if any, that any such action is necessary to
perfect,
or continue the perfection of, the security interest of the Issuer Secured Parties in the
Collateral; provided that any such successor shall also be the successor Trustee under Section 6.9.

          (b) Resignation. The Trust Collateral Agent and any successor Trust Collateral Agent
may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer; provided that the Trust Collateral Agent shall
not so resign unless it shall also resign as Trustee hereunder.

          (c) Removal. The Trust Collateral Agent may be removed by the Trustee at any time
(and should be removed at any time that the Trustee has been removed), with or without cause, by an
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Trust Collateral Agent, the other
Issuer Secured Party and the Issuer. A temporary successor may be removed at any time to allow a
successor Trust Collateral Agent to be appointed pursuant to subsection (d) below. Any removal
pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (c) shall take effect only upon the date which is the
latest of (i) the effective date of the appointment of a successor Trust Collateral Agent and the
acceptance in writing by such successor Trust Collateral Agent of such appointment and of its
obligation to perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, and (ii)
receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect described in Section 3.6.

          (d) Acceptance by Successor. The Trustee shall have the sole right to appoint each
successor Trust Collateral Agent. Every temporary or permanent successor Trust Collateral Agent
appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Trustee,
each Issuer Secured Party and the Issuer an instrument in writing accepting such appointment
hereunder and the relevant predecessor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such other documents
and instruments as will effectuate the delivery of all Collateral to the successor Trust Collateral
Agent, whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully
vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor.
Such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of either Issuer Secured Party or the
Issuer, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates,
properties, rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder. In the event that any instrument in
writing from the Issuer or an Issuer Secured Party is reasonably required by a

48

 

successor Trust
Collateral Agent to more fully and certainly vest in such successor the estates, properties,
rights, powers, duties and obligations vested or intended to be vested hereunder in the Trust
Collateral Agent, any and all such written instruments shall, at the request of the temporary or
permanent successor Trust Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed, acknowledged and delivered by
the Trustee or the Issuer, as the case may be. The designation of any successor Trust Collateral
Agent and the instrument or instruments removing any Trust Collateral Agent and appointing a
successor hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for herein, shall be maintained
with the records relating to the Collateral and, to the extent required by applicable law, filed or
recorded by the successor Trust Collateral Agent in each place where such filing or recording is
necessary to effect the transfer of the Collateral to the successor Trust Collateral Agent or to
protect or continue the perfection of the security interests granted hereunder.

          SECTION 6.18 Compensation. The Trust Collateral Agent shall not be entitled to any compensation for the performance of its
duties hereunder other than the compensation it is entitled to receive in its capacity as Trustee.

          SECTION 6.19 Representations and Warranties of the Trust Collateral Agent and the Issuer.
(A) The Trust Collateral Agent represents and warrants to the Issuer and to each Issuer Secured
Party as follows:

          (a) Due Organization. The Trust Collateral Agent is a national banking association
and is duly authorized and licensed under applicable law to conduct its business as presently
conducted.

          (b) Corporate Power. The Trust Collateral Agent has all requisite right, power and
authority to execute and deliver this Indenture and to perform all of its duties as Trust
Collateral Agent hereunder.

          (c) Due Authorization. The execution and delivery by the Trust Collateral Agent of
this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by
the Trust Collateral Agent of its duties hereunder and thereunder, have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate proceedings and no further approvals or filings, including any governmental
approvals, are required for the valid execution and delivery by the Trust Collateral Agent, or the
performance by the Trust Collateral Agent, of this Indenture and such other Basic Documents.

          (d) Valid and Binding Indenture. The Trust Collateral Agent has duly executed and
delivered this Indenture and each other Basic Document to which it is a party, and each of this
Indenture and each such other Basic Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Trust Collateral Agent, enforceable against the Trust Collateral Agent in accordance with its
terms, except as (i) such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
and similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii)
the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general
applicability.

49

 

          (e) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of each Basic Document to which it is a
party by the Trust Collateral Agent and the performance by the Trust Collateral Agent of its
obligations thereunder, in its capacity as Trust Collateral Agent or otherwise, do not conflict
with or result in any violation of (i) any law or regulation of the United States of America
governing the banking or trust powers of the Trust Collateral Agent or (ii) the articles of
incorporation and by-laws of the Trust Collateral Agent.

          (f) No Actions. To the best of the Trust Collateral Agent’s knowledge, there are no
actions, proceedings or investigations known to the Trust Collateral Agent, either pending or
threatened in writing, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal
or governmental instrumentality which would, if adversely determined, affect in any material
respect the consummation, validity or enforceability against the Trust Collateral Agent, in its
capacity as Trust Collateral Agent or otherwise, of any Basic Document.

          (B) The Issuer hereby represents and warrants that each of the representations and warranties
set forth on the Schedule of Representations attached hereto as Schedule A is true and correct.
Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Indenture and as
of the Closing Date, but shall survive the pledge of the Receivables to the Trust Collateral Agent
and shall not be waived.

          SECTION 6.20 Waiver of Setoffs. The Trust Collateral Agent hereby expressly waives any and
all rights of setoff that the Trust Collateral Agent may otherwise at any time have under
applicable law with respect to any Trust Account and agrees that amounts in the Trust Accounts
shall at all times be held and applied solely in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Sale
and Servicing Agreement.

Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall apply all such money received by it, or cause the Trust
Collateral Agent to apply all money received by it as provided in this Indenture and the Sale and
Servicing Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture or in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of any payment or performance under any
agreement or instrument that is part of the Trust Estate, the Trustee may take such action as may
be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of
appropriate proceedings. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a

Article V.

          SECTION 8.2 Release of Trust Estate.

          (a) Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses and other amounts pursuant to Section 6.7,
the Trust Collateral Agent may, and when required by the provisions of this Indenture shall,

upon an instrument executed by the Trust Collateral Agent as provided in this Article VIII shall be
bound to ascertain the Trust Collateral Agent’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any
conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys.

          (b) The Trust Collateral Agent shall, at such time as there are no Notes outstanding and all
sums due the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7 have been paid, release any remaining portion of the
Trust Estate that secured the Notes from the lien of this Indenture and release to the Issuer or
any other Person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the Trust Accounts. The Trustee

Estate. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the
accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Trustee in connection
with any such action.

shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Notes;

     (vi) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment hereunder by a

53

 

          (b) The Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, may, also without the

Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder.

          SECTION 9.2 Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. The Issuer and the

necessitated by the assumption by the Backup Servicer or other successor Servicer to the
duties of AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc., as Servicer, which results in the
Distribution Date becoming the same date as the Final Scheduled Distribution Date shall not
be considered an event which requires the consent of the Trustee or any Noteholder;

     (ii) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of this
Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V,

Indenture;

     (iv) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the term

Note affected thereby;

     (vii) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such manner as to affect the
calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or principal due on any Note on any

the mandatory redemption of the Notes contained herein; or

     (viii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of
this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate or, except as otherwise
permitted or contemplated herein or in any of the Basic Documents, terminate the lien of
this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any
Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture.

          The Trustee may determine whether or not any Notes would be affected by any supplemental
indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether
theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable
for any such determination made in good faith.

          It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve the
particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act
shall approve the substance thereof.

          Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such
amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance
of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect
therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental
indenture.

          SECTION 9.3 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or permitting the
additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the
amendments or modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating
that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that
affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise.

          SECTION 9.4 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified
and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective

and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the

terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

          SECTION 9.5 Conformity With Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment of this Indenture and
every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX shall conform to the requirements

shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the
Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

          All notices of redemption shall state:

   (i) the Redemption Date;

   (ii) the Redemption Price;

   (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Redemption Date is not
applicable and that payments shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such
Notes and the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption
Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in
Section 3.2); and

   (iv) that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date.

          Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense
of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any
Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

          SECTION 10.3 Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes to be redeemed shall, following
notice of redemption, as required by Section 10.2 (in the case of redemption pursuant to Section
10.1(a)), on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the
Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the
Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes
of calculating the Redemption Price.

ARTICLE XI

Miscellaneous

          SECTION 11.1 Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.

          (a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent
to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee
or the Trust Collateral Agent, as the case may be, (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that all
conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have
been complied with, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such
conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with and (iii) (if required by the TIA) an
Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public accountants meeting the applicable
requirements of this Section, except that, in the case of any such application or request as to
which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture,
no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

          Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided
for in this Indenture shall include:

57

 

     (i) a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read or has
caused to be read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

     (ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation
upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

     (iii) a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such signatory has made
such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to express an
informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

     (iv) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory such condition or
covenant has been complied with.

     (b) (i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property or securities with
the Trust Collateral Agent that is to be made the basis for the release of any property or
securities subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall, in addition to any
obligation imposed in Section 11.1(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Trust
Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person
signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer
of the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited.

     (ii) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trust Collateral Agent an
Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the
matters described in clause (i) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Trust Collateral
Agent an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of
the securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any
such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the
Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) above and this
clause (ii), is 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such a certificate
need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof
to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less
than 1% percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

     (iii) Other than with respect to the release of any Purchased Receivables, Sold
Receivables or Liquidated Receivables, whenever any property or securities are to be
released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Trust
Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person
signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release) of the
property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of such
person the proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture in
contravention of the provisions hereof.

     (iv) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters

58

 

described in
clause (iii) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Trust Collateral Agent an
Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the property or
securities and of all other property other than Purchased Receivables, Sold Receivables and
Defaulted Receivables, or securities released from the lien of this Indenture since the
commencement of the then current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required by
clause (iii) above and this clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount
of the Notes, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of
property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer’s
Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than 1 percent of the then Outstanding Amount of
the Notes.

     (v) Notwithstanding Section 2.9 or any other provision of this Section, the Issuer may
(A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Receivables as and to the extent
permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Trust
Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents.

          SECTION 11.2 Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any case where several matters are
required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary
that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that
they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an
opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and
any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

          Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it
relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless
such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or
opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate or opinion
is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be
based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Seller or the Issuer, stating that
the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the
Seller or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know,
that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

          Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may,
but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

          Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the
Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting
of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended
that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective
date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such
document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such
application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not,

59

 

however, be construed to affect the Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any
statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

          SECTION 11.3 Acts of Noteholders.

          (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by
agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action
shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where
it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of
the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument
or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
(subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner
provided in this Section. In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent
requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each representing less than a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or the Majority Noteholders, the Trustee in its
sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Indenture.

          (b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved in any customary manner of the Trustee.

          (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.

          (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by
the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or
in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be
done by the Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is
made upon such Note.

          SECTION 11.4 Notices, etc., to Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies. Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided
or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

          (a) The Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return
receipt requested and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office, or

          (b) The Issuer by the Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return
receipt requested and shall deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Issuer addressed to:
AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust 2006-1, in care of Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney
Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890-0001, Attention: Corporate Trust
Administration, or at any other address

60

 

previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by Issuer.
The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Trustee.

          (c) Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the Trustee or the
Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered, electronically delivered, delivered by
overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested to (i) in the case of Moody’s,
at the following address: Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., 99 Church Street, New York, New York
10007; and (ii) in the case of Standard & Poor’s, via electronic delivery to
Servicer_reports@sandp.com; for any information not available in electronic format, send hard
copies to: Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, 55 Water Street, 41st floor, New York, New York
10041, Attention: ABS Surveillance Group; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as
shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.

          SECTION 11.5 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to
Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder
affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In
any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor
any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of
such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner here in
provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

          Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing
by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver
shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the
Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such a waiver.

          In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work
stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders
when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any
manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a
sufficient giving of such notice.

          Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice
shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any
circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default.

          SECTION 11.6 [Reserved]

          SECTION 11.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies
or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any
of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

          The provisions of TIA §§ 310 through 317 that impose duties on any person (including the
provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by

61

 

this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained
herein.

          SECTION 11.8 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings
herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction
hereof.

          SECTION 11.9 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and
the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All
agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trust
Collateral Agent in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

          SECTION 11.10 Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

          SECTION 11.11 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or
implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder,
and the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other person with an Ownership
interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under this Indenture.

          SECTION 11.12 Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall
not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture)
payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the
same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue
for the period from and after any such nominal date.

          SECTION 11.13 GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND
THIS INDENTURE AND ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE,
GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW
PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

          SECTION 11.14 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be
deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.

          SECTION 11.15 Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in any
appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its
expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Trustee or any other
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either
for the protection of the Noteholders or any other person secured hereunder or for the enforcement
of any right or remedy granted to the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

62

 

          SECTION 11.16 Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with
respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Owner
Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture, any other
Basic Document or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith,
against (i) the Seller, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent
or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the
Seller, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller,
the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee or
of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust
Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may
have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Backup
Servicer and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except
that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by
applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to
pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the
performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be
subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Article VI, VII and VIII
of the Trust Agreement.

          SECTION 11.17 No Petition. The Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent, by entering into
this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will
not at any time institute against the Seller, or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the
Seller, or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation

law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the Basic
Documents.

          SECTION 11.18 Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will
permit any representative of the Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all
the books of account, records,

to be audited by independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs,
finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees, and independent certified public
accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit

CLASS A-1 4.78% ASSET BACKED NOTE

          AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust 2006-1, a statutory trust organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of ONE
HUNDRED SIXTY-SIX MILLION DOLLARS payable on each Distribution Date in an amount equal to the
result obtained by multiplying (i) a fraction the numerator of which is $166,000,000 and the
denominator of which is $166,000,000 by (ii) the aggregate amount, if any, payable from the Note
Distribution Account in respect of principal on the Class A-1 Notes pursuant to the Indenture;
provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on
the March 6, 2007 Distribution Date (the “Final Scheduled Distribution Date”). The Issuer
will pay interest on this Note at the rate per annum shown above on each Distribution Date until
the principal of this Note is paid or made available for payment. Interest on this Note will
accrue for each Distribution Date from the most recent Distribution Date on which interest has been
paid to but excluding such Distribution Date or, if no interest has yet been paid, from March 2,
2006. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in
the related Interest Period. Such principal of and interest on this Note shall be paid in the
manner specified on the reverse hereof.

          The principal of and interest on this Note are payable in such coin or currency of the United
States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and

 

 

private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall be applied
first to interest due and payable on this Note as provided above and then to the unpaid principal
of this Note.

          Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof,
which shall have the same effect as though fully set forth on the face of this Note.

          Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee whose name

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class
A-1 4.78% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class A-1 Notes”), all issued under an
Indenture dated as of February 22, 2006 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein
called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and
as trust collateral agent (the “Trust Collateral Agent”), which term includes any successor
Trust Collateral Agent) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is
hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All
terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have
the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.

          The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C
Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be
equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the
Indenture.

          Principal of the Class A-1 Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount
described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the sixth day of each month, or,
if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing April 6, 2006.
The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date.

          As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable
on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant
to the Indenture. As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall
be due and payable on the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid
principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the
Class A-1 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-1 Noteholders entitled thereto.

          Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the
installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by
check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except
that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing

funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then
remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the
name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the
Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and
the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note

Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the
requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in
Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee
program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP,
all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the
Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the
same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No
service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the
transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the
Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith,
against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity,
(b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer,
the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have
expressly agreed (it being understood that the Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such
obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary
shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for
stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity,
and (ii) to treat the Notes as indebtedness for purposes of federal income, state and local income
and franchise and any other income taxes.

          Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the
Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this

A-1-5

 

Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the
Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue,
and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

          The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the
Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Majority Noteholders.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders representing specified
percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note
(or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon
all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or
in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Note. The Indenture also permits the Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions
set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

          The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the
Indenture.

          The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or
consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders under the Indenture.

          The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture,
subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

          This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies
of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency
herein prescribed.

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Indenture
or the Basic Documents, neither Wilmington Trust Company in its individual capacity, any owner of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents,
officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall
recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of,
or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this
Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and
indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee for the sole purposes of binding the interests
of the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof
agrees that except as expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic

Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no
claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however,

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class
A-2 5.11% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class A-2 Notes”), all issued under an
Indenture dated as of February 22, 2006 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein
called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and
as trust collateral agent (the “Trust Collateral Agent”), which term includes any successor
Trust Collateral Agent) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is
hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All
terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have
the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.

          The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C
Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be
equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the
Indenture.

          Principal of the Class A-2 Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount
described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the sixth day of each month, or,
if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing April 6, 2006.
The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution Date.

          As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable
on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant
to the Indenture. As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall
be due and payable on the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid
principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the
Class A-2 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-2 Noteholders entitled thereto.

          Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the
installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by
check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except
that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing
Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed
to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as
of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of
payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes)
effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of
this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of

A-2-4

 

transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If
funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then
remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the
name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the
Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and
the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note
at the Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Trustee’s agent appointed
for such purposes located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP,
all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the
Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the
same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No
service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the
transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the
Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith,

stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity,

Trust Collateral Agent) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is
hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All
terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have

          The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C
Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be
equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the
Indenture.

          Principal of the Class A-3 Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount
described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the sixth day of each month, or,
if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing April 6, 2006.
The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date.

          As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable
on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant
to the Indenture. As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall
be due and payable on the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid
principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the
Class A-3 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-3 Noteholders entitled thereto.

          Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the
installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by
check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except
that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing
Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed
to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as
of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of
payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes)
effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of
this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of

A-3-4

 

transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If
funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then
remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the
name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the
Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and
the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note
at the Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Trustee’s agent appointed
for such purposes located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

          The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class A-3 Interest
Rate to the extent lawful.

          As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the
transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for
registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the
Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the
requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in
Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee
program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP,
all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the
Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the
same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No
service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the
transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the
Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith,
against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity,
(b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer,
the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have
expressly agreed (it being understood that the Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such
obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary
shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for
stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity,
and (ii) to treat the Notes as indebtedness for purposes of federal income, state and local income
and franchise and any other income taxes.

          Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the
Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this

A-3-5

 

Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the
Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue,
and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

          The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the
Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Majority Noteholders.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders representing specified
percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note
(or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon
all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or
in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Note. The Indenture also permits the Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions
set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

          The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the
Indenture.

          The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or
consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders under the Indenture.

          The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture,
subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

          This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies
of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency
herein prescribed.

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Indenture
or the Basic Documents, neither Wilmington Trust Company in its individual capacity, any owner of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents,
officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall
recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of,
or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this
Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and
indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee for the sole purposes of binding the interests
of the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof
agrees that except as expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic

A-3-6

 

Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no
claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however,

collateral agent (the “Trust Collateral Agent”), which term includes any successor Trust
Collateral Agent) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee
and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used

beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the

all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class C
5.28% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class C Notes”), all issued under an Indenture
dated as of February 22, 2006 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the
“Indenture”), between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee
(the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust
collateral agent (the “Trust Collateral Agent”), which term includes any successor Trust
Collateral Agent) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee
and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used
in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings
assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.

          The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C
Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be
equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the
Indenture.

          Principal of the Class C Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount
described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the sixth day of each month, or,
if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing April 6, 2006.
The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date.

          As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable
on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant
to the Indenture. As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall
be due and payable on the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid
principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the
Class C Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class C Noteholders entitled thereto.

          Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the
installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by
check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except
that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing
Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed
to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as
of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of
payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes)
effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of
this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of

C-4

 

transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If
funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then
remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the
name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the
Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and
the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note
at the Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Trustee’s agent appointed
for such purposes located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

            The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class C Interest Rate
to the extent lawful.

            As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the
transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for
registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the
Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the
requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in
Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee
program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP,
all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the
Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the
same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No
service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the
transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

            Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the
Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith,
against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity,
(b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer,
the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have
expressly agreed (it being understood that the Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such
obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary
shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for
stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity,
and (ii) to treat the Notes as indebtedness for purposes of federal income, state and local income
and franchise and any other income taxes.

            Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the
Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this

C-5

 

Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the
Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue,
and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

          The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the
Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Majority Noteholders.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders representing specified
percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note
(or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon
all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or
in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Note. The Indenture also permits the Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions
set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

          The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the
Indenture.

          The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or
consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders under the Indenture.

          The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture,
subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

          This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies
of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency
herein prescribed.

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Indenture
or the Basic Documents, neither Wilmington Trust Company in its individual capacity, any owner of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents,
officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall
recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of,
or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this
Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and
indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee for the sole purposes of binding the interests
of the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof
agrees that except as expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic

C-6

 

Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no
claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however,

assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the

REVERSE OF NOTE

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class E
6.62% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class E Notes”), all issued under an Indenture
dated as of February 22, 2006 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the
“Indenture”), between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee
(the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust
collateral agent (the “Trust Collateral Agent”), which term includes any successor Trust
Collateral Agent) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee
and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used
in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings
assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.

          The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C
Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be
equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the
Indenture.

          Principal of the Class E Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount
described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the sixth day of each month, or,
if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing April 6, 2006.
The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date.

          As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable
on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant
to the Indenture. As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall
be due and payable on the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid
principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the
Class E Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class E Noteholders entitled thereto.

          Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the
installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by
check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except
that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing
Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed
to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as
of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of
payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes)
effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of
this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of

E-5

 

transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If
funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then
remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the
name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the
Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and
the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note
at the Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Trustee’s agent appointed
for such purposes located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

          The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class E Interest Rate
to the extent lawful.

          As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the
transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for
registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the
Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the
requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in
Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee
program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP,
all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the
Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the
same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No
service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the
transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the
Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith,
against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity,
(b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer,
the Owner Trustee or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have
expressly agreed (it being understood that the Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such
obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary
shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for
stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity,
and (ii) to treat the Notes as indebtedness for purposes of federal income, state and local income
and franchise and any other income taxes.

          Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the
Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this

E-6

 

Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the
Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue,
and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

          The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the
Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Majority Noteholders.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders representing specified
percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note
(or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon
all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or
in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Note. The Indenture also permits the Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions
set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

          The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the
Indenture.

          The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or
consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders under the Indenture.

          The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture,
subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

          This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies
of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency
herein prescribed.

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Indenture
or the Basic Documents, neither Wilmington Trust Company in its individual capacity, any owner of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents,
officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall
recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of,
or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this
Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and
indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee for the sole purposes of binding the interests
of the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuer. The Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof
agrees that except as expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic

E-7

 

Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no
claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however,
that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the
assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the
Indenture or in this Note.

SCHEDULE A

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ISSUER

Representations and Warranties Regarding the Receivables:

1. Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. This Indenture creates a valid and
continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor
of the Trust Collateral Agent, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is
enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller. The Issuer owns
and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien (other than
the Lien in favor of the Trust Collateral Agent), claim or encumbrance of any Person.

2. All Filings Made. The Issuer has taken all steps necessary to perfect the Trust
Collateral Agent’s security interest in the property securing the Receivables, provided
that, if not done as of the Closing Date, the Issuer will cause, within ten days of the
Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office
in the State of Delaware under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in
the Receivables granted to the Trust Collateral Agent hereunder.

3. No Impairment. The Issuer has not done anything to convey any right to any
Person that would result in such Person having a right to payments due under the Receivable
or otherwise to impair the rights of the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the
Noteholders in any Receivable or the proceeds thereof. Other than the security interest
granted to the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not
pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the
Receivables. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing
statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the
Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to
the Trust Collateral Agent hereunder or that has been terminated. The Issuer is not aware of
any judgment or tax lien filings against it.

4. Chattel Paper. The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” within the
meaning of the UCC as in effect in the States of Texas, New York, Nevada and Delaware.

5. Good Title. Immediately prior to the pledge of the Receivables to the Trust
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer was the sole owner thereof and had
good and indefeasible title thereto, free of any Lien and, upon execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the Trust shall have good and indefeasible title to and will be the sole
owner of such Receivables, free of any Lien. No Dealer or Third-Party Lender has a
participation in, or other right to receive, proceeds of any Receivable. The Issuer has not
taken any action to convey any right to any Person that would result in such Person having a
right to payments received under the related Insurance Policies or the related

Sch. A-1

 

Dealer Agreements, Auto Loan Purchase and Sale Agreements, Dealer Assignments or Third-Party
Lender Assignments or to payments due under such Receivables.

6. Possession of Original Copies. The Servicer, as Custodian on behalf of the
Issuer, has in its possession all original copies of the contracts that constitute or
evidence the Receivable.

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 Trust Property.

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

          (e) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the
terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under

or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound; nor result in the

          SECTION 2.10. Covenants of the Certificateholder

          The Certificateholder agrees:

          (a) to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Certificate of which the Holder is the
beneficial owner and of this Agreement, including any supplements or amendments hereto and to
perform the obligations of a Holder as set forth therein or herein, in all respects as if it were a
signatory hereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust and the Owner Trustee; and

          (b) until the completion of the events specified in Section 8.1(d), not to, for any reason,
institute proceedings for the Trust to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the
institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Trust, or file a petition seeking
or consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to
bankruptcy, or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Trust or a substantial part of its property, or
cause or permit the Trust to make any assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admit in
writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or declare or effect a

          (a) For so long as the Trust has a single owner for federal income tax purposes, it will,
pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under section 7701 of the Code,

be disregarded as an entity distinct from the Certificateholder for all federal income tax
purposes. Accordingly, for federal income tax purposes, the Certificateholder will be treated as
(i) owning all assets owned by the Trust and (ii) having incurred all liabilities incurred by the
Trust, and all transactions between the Trust and the Certificateholder will be disregarded.

          (b) 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.

          (c) In the event that the Trust has two or more equity owners for federal income tax purposes,
the Trust will be treated as a partnership. At any such time that the Trust has two or more equity
owners, this Agreement will be amended, in accordance with Section 10.1 herein, and appropriate
provisions will be added so as to provide for treatment of the Trust as a partnership.

          SECTION 2.12. [Reserved]

ARTICLE III.

Certificate and Transfer of Interest

          SECTION 3.1. Initial Ownership

          Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.5
and until the issuance of the Certificate to the initial Certificateholder, the Depositor shall be
the sole beneficiary of the Trust.

          SECTION 3.2. The Certificate

          The Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of
an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee. A Certificate 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 Certificate or did not hold such
offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificate. 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 due registration of such Certificate in such
transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.4.

          SECTION 3.3. Authentication of Certificate

          Concurrently with the sale of the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate to be executed on behalf of the Trust,
authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its chairman
of the board, its president or any vice president, its treasurer or any assistant treasurer without
further corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations. No Certificate

8

 

shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose,
unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or Wilmington Trust Company as the Owner
Trustee’s authentication agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute
conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. The Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

          SECTION 3.4. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificate

          The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained
pursuant to Section 3.7, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as
it may prescribe, the Owner Trustee shall provide for the registration of the Certificate and of
transfers and exchanges of the Certificate as herein provided. Wilmington Trust Company shall be
the initial Certificate Registrar.

          The Certificate Registrar shall provide the Trust Collateral Agent with the name and address
of the Certificateholder on the Closing Date. Upon any transfers of the Certificate, the
Certificate Registrar shall notify the Trust Collateral Agent of the name and address of the
transferee in writing, by facsimile, on the day of such transfer.

          Upon surrender for registration of transfer of the Certificate at the office or agency
maintained pursuant to Section 3.7, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or
shall cause Wilmington Trust Company as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in
the name of the designated transferee, a new Certificate dated the date of authentication by the
Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent.

          A 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 Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the
requirements of the Certificate Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation
in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature
guarantee program” as may be determined by the Certificate Registrar in addition to, or in
substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act. Each Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Owner
Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.

          No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the
Certificate, 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 the Certificate.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no sale or transfer of a Certificate shall be permitted
(including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation), and no such sale or transfer shall be
registered by the Certificate Registrar or be effective hereunder, if the sale or transfer thereof
increases to more than 99 the number of Certificateholders. For purposes of determining the total
number of Certificateholders, a beneficial owner of an interest in a

9

 

partnership, grantor trust, S corporation or other flow-through entity that owns, directly or
through other flow-through entities, a Certificate is treated as a holder of a Certificate if (i)
substantially all of the value of the beneficial owner’s interest (directly or indirectly) in the
flow-through entity is attributed to the flow-through entity’s interest in the Certificate and (ii)
a principal purpose of the use of the flow-through entity to hold the Certificate is to satisfy the
99 holder limitation set out above.

          SECTION 3.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates

          If (a) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the
Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner
Trustee, such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then
in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee, or Wilmington Trust
Company, 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 class, 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 an ownership interest in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

          SECTION 3.6. Persons Deemed Certificateholders

          Every Person by virtue of becoming a Certificateholder in accordance with this Agreement shall
be deemed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Prior to due presentation of the Certificate
for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the
Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, may treat the person in whose name any Certificate
shall be registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of
receiving distributions pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of the Owner
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

          SECTION 3.7. Maintenance of Office or Agency

          The Owner Trustee shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where the
Certificate may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Certificate and the Basic Documents may be
served. The Owner Trustee initially designates the Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The
Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and the Certificateholder of any
change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

          SECTION 3.8. Disposition in Whole But Not in Part

10

 

          The Certificate may be transferred in whole but not in part. Any attempted transfer of the
Certificate that would divide the ownership of the Owner Trust Estate shall be void. The Owner
Trustee shall cause any Certificate issued to contain a legend stating “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT
TRANSFERABLE, EXCEPT UNDER THE LIMITED CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT.”

          SECTION 3.9. ERISA Restrictions

          The Certificate may not be acquired by or for the account of (i) an employee benefit plan (as
defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”)) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan (as defined
in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or (iii) any entity
whose underlying assets include assets of a plan described in (i) or (ii) above by reason of such
plan’s investment in the entity (each, a “Benefit Plan”). By accepting and holding its
beneficial ownership interest in its Certificate, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have
represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.

consent of any Noteholder is required;

          (c) the amendment of the Indenture by a supplemental indenture in circumstances where the

Note Registrar or Trust Collateral Agent within five Business Days after receipt of notice thereof.

11

 

          SECTION 4.2. Action by Certificateholder with Respect to Certain Matters

          The Owner Trustee shall not have the power, except upon the direction of the Certificateholder
in accordance with the Basic Documents, to (a) remove the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2 thereof or (b) except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, sell the Receivables after the termination of the Indenture. The Owner Trustee shall
take the actions referred to in the preceding sentence only upon written instructions signed by the
Certificateholder and the furnishing of indemnification satisfactory to the Owner Trustee by the
Certificateholder.

          SECTION 4.3. Restrictions on Certificateholder’s Power.

          (a) The Certificateholder shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking
any action if such action or inaction would be contrary to any obligation of the Trust or the Owner
Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.3 nor
shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction, if given.

          (b) The Certificateholder shall not have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any
provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action, or proceeding in equity or at law upon
or under or with respect to this Agreement or any Basic Document, unless the Certificateholder
previously shall have given to the Owner Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance
thereof, as provided in this Agreement, and also unless the Certificateholder shall have made
written request upon the Owner Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name
as Owner Trustee under this Agreement and shall have offered to the Owner Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or
thereby, and the Owner Trustee, for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request, and offer of
indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit, or proceeding, and
during such 30-day period no request or waiver inconsistent with such written request has been
given to the Owner Trustee pursuant to and in compliance with this Section or Section 5.3. For the
protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, the Certificateholder and the Owner
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

          SECTION 4.4. [Reserved]

          SECTION 4.5. Action with Respect to Bankruptcy Action

          (a) The Trust shall not, without the prior written consent of the Owner Trustee, (a) institute
any proceedings to adjudicate the Trust a bankrupt or insolvent, (b) consent to the institution of
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Trust, (c) file a petition seeking or consenting
to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy with
respect to the Trust, (d) consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Trust or a substantial part of its property, (e)
make any assignment for the benefit of the Trust’s creditors; (f) cause the Trust to admit in
writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or (g) take any action in
furtherance of any of the foregoing (any of the above foregoing actions, a “Bankruptcy
Action”). In considering whether to give or withhold written consent to a Bankruptcy Action by

12

 

the Trust, the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the Certificateholders (hereby given, which
consent the Certificateholders believe to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and
the Trust), shall consider the interest of the Noteholders in addition to the interests of the
Trust and whether the Trust is insolvent; provided, however, that the Owner Trustee
shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Noteholders. The Owner Trustee shall have no
duty to give such written consent to a Bankruptcy Action by the Trust if the Owner Trustee shall
not have been furnished (at the expense of the Trust) or the Person that requested that such letter
be furnished to the Owner Trustee) a letter from an independent accounting firm of national
reputation stating that in the opinion of such firm the Trust is then insolvent. The Owner Trustee
(as such and in its individual capacity) shall not be personally liable to any Person on account of
the Owner Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Section or in connection with the
Owner Trustee’s giving prior written consent to a Bankruptcy Action by the Trust in accordance
herewith, or withholding such consent, in good faith, and neither the Trust nor any
Certificateholder shall have any claim for breach of fiduciary duty or otherwise against the Owner
Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity) for giving or withholding its consent to any such
Bankruptcy Action.

          (b) The parties hereto stipulate and agree that no Certificateholder has power to commence any
Bankruptcy Action on the part of the Trust or to direct the Owner Trustee to take any Bankruptcy
Action on the part of the Trust except as provided in Section 4.5(a). To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the consent of the Trust Collateral Agent shall be obtained prior to taking any
Bankruptcy Action by the Trust.

          (c) The provisions of this Section do not constitute an acknowledgement or admission by the
Trust, the Owner Trustee, any Certificateholder or any creditor of the Trust that the Trust is
eligible to be a debtor, under the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq., as
amended.

          SECTION 4.6. Covenants and Restrictions on Conduct of Business.

   (a) The Trust agrees to abide by the following restrictions:

   (i) other than as contemplated by the Basic Documents and related documentation, the
Trust shall not incur any indebtedness;

            (b) The Trust shall:

13

 

     (i) maintain books and records separate from any other person or entity;

     (ii) maintain its office and bank accounts separate from any other person or entity;

its own liabilities and expenses only out of its own funds;

     (vi) observe all formalities required under the Statutory Trust Statute;

     (vii) not guarantee or become obligated for the debts of any other person or entity;

     (viii) not hold out its credit as being available to satisfy the obligation of any
other person or entity;

     (ix) not acquire the obligations or securities of its Certificateholders or its
Affiliates;

     (x) other than as contemplated by the Basic Documents and related documentation, not
make loans to any other person or entity or buy or hold evidence of indebtedness issued by
any other person or entity;

     (xi) other than as contemplated by the Basic Documents and related documentation, not
pledge its assets for the benefit of any other person or entity;

     (xii) hold itself out as a separate entity from each Certificateholder and not conduct
any business in the name of any Certificateholder;

     (xiii) correct any known misunderstanding regarding its separate identity;

     (xiv) not identify itself as a division of any other person or entity; and

     (xv) except as required or specifically provided in the Trust Agreement, the Trust will
conduct business with the Certificateholders or any Affiliate thereof on an arm’s length
basis.

            (c) So long as the Notes or any other amounts owed under the Indenture remain outstanding, the
Trust shall not amend this Section 4.6 unless the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied.

          SECTION 5.1. General Authority.

          (a) The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to
which the Trust is named as a party, each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to
or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust is named as a party and any amendment
thereto and on behalf of the Trust, each state business license (and any renewal thereof) prepared
by the Certificateholder or Servicer, including a Sales Finance Company Application (and any
renewal thereof) with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, Licensing Division, and a Financial
Regulation Application (and any renewal thereof) with the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing
and Regulation, in each case, in such form as the Depositor shall approve as evidenced conclusively
by the Owner Trustee’s execution thereof, and on behalf of the Trust, to direct the Indenture
Trustee to authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$166,000,000, Class A-2 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $309,000,000, Class A-3 Notes in
the aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000, Class B Notes in the aggregate principal amount of

aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 and Class E Notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$65,000,000. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized, but shall not be
obligated, to take all actions required of the Trust pursuant to the Basic Documents. The Owner
Trustee is further authorized from time to time to take such action as the Certificateholder
recommends with respect to the Basic Documents so long as such activities are consistent with the
terms of the Basic Documents.

          (b) The Owner Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust any applicable tax returns of the
Trust, unless applicable law requires a Certificateholder to sign such documents.

          SECTION 5.2. 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 Sale and Servicing Agreement and
to administer the Trust in the interest of the Holder, 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 Servicer has agreed in the Sale and Servicing Agreement to perform any
act or to discharge any duty of the Trust or the Owner Trustee hereunder or under any Basic
Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or failure of the Servicer to
carry out its obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

          SECTION 5.3. Action upon Instruction.

          (a) Subject to Article IV, the Certificateholder shall have the exclusive right to direct the
actions of the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust, so long as such instructions are not
inconsistent with the express terms set forth herein or in any Basic

15

 

Document. The Certificateholder shall not instruct the Owner Trustee in a manner inconsistent
with this Agreement or the Basic Documents.

          (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 any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee shall
promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the
Certificateholder 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
Certificateholder 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 or the Basic Documents, as it shall
deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholder, 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 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 Certificateholder 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 Certificateholder, and shall have no liability to any
Person for such action or inaction.

          SECTION 5.4. 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 5.3; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into

16

 

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 Commission filing (including any filings required pursuant to
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder) 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 (solely in its individual capacity) and that are not related to the ownership or the
administration of the Owner Trust Estate.

          SECTION 5.5. No Action Except under Specified Documents or Instructions

          The Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any
part of the Owner Trust Estate except (i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the
authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the
Basic Documents and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner
Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3.

          SECTION 5.6. Restrictions

          The Owner Trustee shall not take any action (a) that is inconsistent with the purposes of the
Trust set forth in Section 2.3 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. The
Certificateholder shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the
provisions of this Section.

ARTICLE VI.

vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this

order or direction of the Certificateholder, unless the Certificateholder has 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 Basic Document shall not be construed
as a duty, and the Owner Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act.

          SECTION 6.2. Furnishing of Documents

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

the Basic Documents.

          SECTION 6.3. Representations and Warranties

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

execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

          (b) It has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by it
of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be executed and delivered by one of its officers who is

          (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 with any of the terms or provisions
hereof will contravene any federal or Delaware state law, governmental rule or regulation governing
the banking or trust powers of the Owner Trustee or any judgment or order binding on it, or
constitute any default under its charter documents or by-laws or any indenture, mortgage, contract,
agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound.

validly executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee and constitutes, a valid and binding agreement
of the Owner Trustee, enforceable against the Owner Trustee in accordance with its terms, except to
the extent that enforceability may (A) be subject to insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or
other similar laws, regulations or procedures of general applicability now or hereinafter in effect
relating to or affecting creditor’s rights generally and (B) be limited by general principles of
equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

          SECTION 6.4. Reliance; Advice of Counsel.

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

19

 

          (b) In the exercise or administration of the trusts hereunder and in the performance of its
duties and obligations under this Agreement or the Basic Documents, the Owner Trustee (i) may act
directly or through its agents or attorneys pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them,
and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the conduct or misconduct of such agents or attorneys
if such agents or attorneys shall have been selected by the Owner Trustee with reasonable care, and

accountants or other such persons and according to such opinion not contrary to this Agreement or
any Basic Document.

          SECTION 6.5. Not Acting in Individual Capacity

Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any Basic
Document or of the Certificate (other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee
on the Certificate) or the Notes, or of any Receivable or related documents. The Owner Trustee
shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity
and enforceability of any Receivable, or the perfection and priority of any security interest
created by any Receivable in any Financed Vehicle or the maintenance of any such perfection and
priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Owner Trust Estate or its ability to
generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholder under this Agreement or the
Noteholders under the Indenture, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and
ownership of any Financed Vehicle; the existence and enforceability of any insurance thereon; the
existence and contents of any Receivable on any computer or other record thereof; the validity of
the assignment of any Receivable to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of
any Receivable; the performance or enforcement of any Receivable; the compliance by the Depositor,
the Servicer or any other Person with any warranty or representation made under any Basic Document
or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation or any action of
the Trustee or the Servicer or any subservicer taken in the name of the Owner Trustee.

          SECTION 6.7. Owner Trustee May Own Notes

          The Owner Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
the Notes and may deal with the Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer in banking transactions
with the same rights as it would have if it were not Owner Trustee.

20

 

          SECTION 6.8. Payments from Owner Trust Estate

          All payments to be made by the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic
Documents to which the Trust or the Owner Trustee is a party shall be made only from the income and

received income or proceeds from the Owner Trust Estate to make such payments in accordance with
the terms hereof. Wilmington Trust Company or any successor thereto, in its individual capacity,
shall not be liable for any amounts payable under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents to
which the Trust or the Owner Trustee is a party.

          Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither Wilmington Trust Company or
any successor thereto, nor the Owner Trustee shall be required to take any action in any
jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will, even after the
appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee in accordance with Section 9.5 hereof, (i) require
the consent or approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the
registration with or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state or other governmental
authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee,
tax or other governmental charge under the laws of the State of Delaware becoming payable by
Wilmington Trust Company (or any successor thereto); or (iii) subject Wilmington Trust Company (or
any successor thereto) to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of
Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions
by Wilmington Trust Company (or any successor thereto) or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be,
contemplated hereby.

Basic Documents, the Owner Trust Estate, the administration of the Owner Trust Estate or the action
or inaction of the Owner Trustee hereunder, except only that the Depositor shall not be liable for
or required to indemnify the Owner Trustee from and against Expenses arising or resulting from any
of the matters described in the third sentence of Section 6.1. The indemnities contained in this
Section and the rights under Section 7.1 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

and obligations of the Depositor which are described in this Section 7.2.

          SECTION 7.3. Payments to the Owner Trustee

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

          SECTION 7.4. Non-recourse Obligations

          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee agrees in
its individual capacity and in its capacity as Owner Trustee for the Trust that all obligations of
the Trust to the Owner Trustee individually or as Owner Trustee for the Trust shall be with
recourse to the Owner Trust Estate only and specifically shall be without recourse to the assets of
the Holder.

ARTICLE VIII.

Termination of Trust Agreement

          SECTION 8.1. Termination of Trust Agreement.

          (a) This Agreement and the Trust shall terminate in accordance with Section 3808 of the
Statutory Trust Statute and be of no further force or effect upon the latest of (i) the maturity or
other liquidation of the last Receivable (including the purchase by the Servicer at its option or
by the Seller at its option of the corpus of the Trust as described in Section 10.1 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement) and the subsequent distribution of amounts in respect of such Receivables as
provided in the Basic Documents, or (ii) the payment to the Certificateholder of all amounts
required to be paid to it pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the
rights to indemnification under Section 7.2 and the rights under Section 7.1 shall survive the
termination of the Trust. The Seller or the Servicer shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee of
any prospective termination pursuant to this Section. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution,
death or incapacity of the Certificateholder, shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or
the Trust, nor (y) entitle the Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an
accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or

22

 

any part of the Trust or Owner Trust Estate nor (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations
and liabilities of the parties hereto.

          (b) Neither the Depositor nor the Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate
the Trust.

          (c) Notice of any termination of the Trust, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the
Certificateholder shall surrender the Certificate to the Trust Collateral Agent for payment of the
final distribution and cancellation, shall be given by the Owner Trustee by letter to the
Certificateholder mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice of such termination from
the Servicer given pursuant to Section 10.1(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, stating (i) the
Distribution Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Certificate shall be made upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificate at the office of the Trust Collateral Agent therein
designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificate at the office of the Trust Collateral Agent therein specified and
(iv) interest will cease to accrue on the Certificate. The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to
the Trust Collateral Agent at the time such notice is given to the Certificateholder. Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificate, the Trust Collateral Agent shall cause to be
distributed to the Certificateholder amounts distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 5.7 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

          In the event that the Certificateholder shall not surrender the Certificate 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 Certificateholder to surrender the Certificate for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the
second notice the Certificate 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
Certificateholder concerning surrender of its Certificate, and the cost thereof shall be paid out
of the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in
the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed, subject to applicable escheat
laws, by the Owner Trustee to the Holder.

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

ARTICLE IX.

Successor Owner Trustees and Additional Owner Trustees

          SECTION 9.1. Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee

          The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a corporation (i) satisfying the provisions of Section
3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute; (ii) authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; and
(iii) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to

23

 

supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. 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 9.2.

          SECTION 9.2. Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee

          The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by
giving written notice thereof to the Depositor and the Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Depositor 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 or the Certificateholder 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 9.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, 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 Depositor may remove the Owner
Trustee. If the Depositor shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately
preceding sentence, the Depositor 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 one copy to the successor Owner Trustee and payment of all fees 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 9.3 and payment of all fees and
expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Depositor shall provide notice of such
resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

          SECTION 9.3. Successor Owner Trustee

          Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.2 shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer 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

24

 

fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and
monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Depositor 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 9.1.

          Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the
Servicer shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to the Certificateholder, the
Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Servicer shall fail to mail such notice
within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner
Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.

          SECTION 9.4. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee

          Any corporation into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may
be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of
the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee
hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1, without the
execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, further, that the Owner
Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies.

          SECTION 9.5. 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 Servicer and the Owner Trustee acting jointly
shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate
trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such
Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and
the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in
such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, the Owner Trustee
shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this
Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to
Section 9.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be
required pursuant to Section 9.3.

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

25

 

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

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

     (iii) the Servicer 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 Servicer.

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

ARTICLE X.

Miscellaneous

          SECTION 10.1. Supplements and Amendments.

          (a) This Agreement may be amended by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, and with prior
written notice to the Rating Agencies, without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the
Certificateholder, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect or (ii) to correct, supplement or modify any
provisions in this Agreement; provided, however, that such action shall not, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel which may be based upon a certificate of the

26

 

Servicer, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or
Certificateholder.

          (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Owner
Trustee, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, to the extent such amendment materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders, with the consent of the Noteholders
evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, and the consent of the
Certificateholder (which consent of any Holder of a Certificate or Note given pursuant to this
Section or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder) 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 Certificateholder; 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 Receivables or distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of
the Noteholders or the Certificateholder or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes and the Certificate Balance required to consent to any such amendment, without
the consent of the Holders of all the outstanding Notes and the Certificateholder.

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

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

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

          SECTION 10.2. No Legal Title to Owner Trust Estate in Certificateholder

          The Certificateholder shall not have legal title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate. The
Certificateholder shall be entitled to receive distributions in accordance with Article VIII. No
transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any right, title or interest of the
Certificateholder to and in its ownership interest in the Owner Trust Estate shall operate to
terminate this Agreement or the trust 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.

contained herein.

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

          SECTION 10.5. 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 10.6. 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

Trust Agreement, the Indenture or the Basic Documents. In addition, this Certificate is not
guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to
certain collections with respect to the Receivables, 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 during normal business hours at the principal office of the Seller,
and at such other places, if any, designated by the Seller, by any Certificateholder upon written
request.

     The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof
and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Seller under the Trust Agreement at any
time by the Seller and the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Note Majority and the
Certificateholder. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and
binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof 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 Certificateholder.

     As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar
maintained by the Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office, 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 a new
Certificate 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 Wilmington
Trust Company. 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.

     No sale or transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be permitted (including, without limitation,
by pledge or hypothecation), and no such sale or transfer shall be registered by the Certificate
Registrar or be effective hereunder, if the sale or transfer thereof increases to more than 99 the
sum of the number of Certificateholders.

     The Owner Trustee and any agent of the Owner Trustee may treat the person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee nor
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 payment to the Certificateholder of all amounts required to be
paid to it pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the

A-5

 

disposition of all property held as part of the Trust. The Seller or the Servicer of the
Receivables may at its option purchase the corpus of the Trust 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 Certificate; however, such right of purchase is exercisable, subject
to certain restrictions, only as of the last day of any Collection Period as of which the Pool
Balance is 10% or less of the Original Pool Balance.

     The Certificate 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 (as defined in
Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to subject to Section 4975 or (c) any entity whose
underlying assets include assets of a plan described in (a) or (b) above by reason of such plan’s
investment in the entity (each, a “Benefit Plan”). By accepting and holding this
Certificate, the Holder hereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a
Benefit Plan.

     The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the
Servicer, as the case may be, and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness
thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Certificate or of any Receivable or related document.

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