         engage in such other activities as may be required in connection with

         the Certificateholders and the Noteholders.

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

         Section 2.04. Appointment of Owner Trustee. The Depositor hereby

set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to
the obligations of the Trust under the Basic Documents. It is the intention of
the parties hereto that the Trust constitute a common law trust under the law
of the State of Delaware and that this Agreement constitute the governing
instrument of such trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that,
solely for income and franchise tax purposes, until the Trust Certificates are
held by a Person other than the Depositor, the Trust shall be disregarded as
an entity separate from the Depositor and the Notes will be characterized as
debt. At such time

                                      5
<PAGE>

that the Trust Certificates are held by more than one Person, it is the
intention of the parties hereto that, solely for income and franchise tax
purposes, the Trust shall be treated as a partnership, with the assets of the
partnership being the Receivables and other assets held by the Trust, the
partners of the partnership being the Certificateholders, and the Notes being
debt of the partnership. The Depositor and the Certificateholders by
acceptance of a Trust Certificate agree to such treatment and agree to take no
action inconsistent with such treatment. The parties agree that, unless
otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Trust will not file or
cause to be filed annual or other returns, reports and other forms consistent
with the characterization of the Trust as an entity separate from its owner
unless and until the Trust Certificates are held by more than one Person.

         Section 2.07. [Reserved].

         Section 2.08. Title to Trust Property. Legal title to all the Trust
Estate shall be vested at all times in the Owner Trustee on behalf of the
Trust (subject to the Lien created by the Indenture).

         Section 2.09. Situs of Trust. The Trust will be located in the State
of Delaware and administered in the State of Delaware or the State of Alabama.
All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall
be located in the State of Delaware or the State of New York. The Trust shall
not have any employees; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict
or prohibit the Owner Trustee from having employees within or without the
State of Delaware. Payments will be received by the Trust only in Delaware or
New York, and payments will be made by the Trust only from Delaware or New
York. The only office of the Trust will be at the Corporate Trust Office in
the State of Delaware.

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

                  (a)  The Depositor is duly organized and validly existing as

         shall require such qualifications.

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

                  (d)  The Depositor has duly executed and delivered this
         Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
         obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor, in
         accordance with its terms.

                  (e)  The consummation of the transactions contemplated by
         this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not
         conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and
         provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of
         time) a default under, the limited liability company agreement or
         certificate of formation of the Depositor, or any indenture,
         agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by
         which it is bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any
         Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such
         indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the
         Basic Documents); nor violate any law or, to the best of the
         Depositor's knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to
         the Depositor of any court or of any federal or state regulatory
         body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality
         having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties.

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

                  (g)  The representations and warranties of the Depositor in
         Section 3.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement are true and
         correct.

         Section 2.11. Federal Income Tax Allocations. If there is more than
one beneficial owner of the Trust Certificates, net income of the Trust for
any month as determined for federal income tax purposes (and each item of
income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall
be allocated among the Certificateholders as of the first day following the
Record Date, in proportion to their percentage ownership interest of Trust
Certificates on the Record Date.

         If there is more than one beneficial owner of the Trust Certificates,
net losses of the Trust, if any, for any month as determined for federal
income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction
entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated among the
Certificateholders as of the first day following the Record Date, in
proportion to their percentage ownership interest of Trust Certificates on the
Record Date. If there is more than one beneficial owner of the Trust
Certificates, the Trust is authorized to modify the allocations in this
paragraph if necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, for the
allocations to fairly reflect the economic income, gain or loss to the
Certificateholders, or as otherwise required by the Code.

                                 ARTICLE III

                 TRUST CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

         Section 3.01. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by
the execution of the Original Trust Agreement and until the issuance of the
Trust Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficial owner of the
Trust.

         Section 3.02. The Trust Certificates. The Trust Certificates shall be
issued in minimum denominations of a one percent (1%) Percentage Interest in
the Trust. The Trust Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile
signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee. Trust Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the
time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on
behalf of the Owner Trustee, shall be validly issued and entitled to the
benefit of this Agreement and shall be valid and binding obligations of the
Owner Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Trust Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication
and delivery of such Trust Certificates.

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

         Section 3.03. Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Trust
Certificates. On the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Trust
Certificates in an aggregate Percentage Interest equal to 100% to be executed
and authenticated by the Owner Trustee and delivered to or upon the written
order of the Depositor, without further action by the Depositor, in authorized
denominations. No Trust Certificate shall entitle its Holder to any benefit
under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless there shall appear on
such Trust Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or The Bank of New
York, as the Owner Trustee's authenticating agent, by manual signature; such
authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Trust
Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Trust Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

         When a Trust Certificate is duly executed and issued by the Owner
Trustee and duly authenticated in accordance with this Agreement, the Trust
Certificate will be fully paid, validly issued, nonassessable and entitled to
the benefits of this Agreement.

         Section 3.04. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Trust
Certificates. The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the
office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, a Certificate Register
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Owner Trustee shall provide for the registration of Trust Certificates and of
transfers and exchanges of Trust Certificates as herein provided. The Owner
Trustee hereby appoints The Bank of New York to act as Certificate Registrar,
and The Bank of New York hereby accepts such appointment.

                                      8
<PAGE>

         The Trust Certificates have not been and will not be registered under
the Securities Act and will not be listed on any exchange. No transfer of a
Trust Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under
said Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a transfer is to be
made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and state
securities laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and
such laws, the Holder desiring to effect such transfer and such Holder's
prospective transferee shall each certify to the Owner Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding the
transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit B and Exhibit C (the
"Investment Letter"). Except in the case of a transfer as to which the
proposed transferee has provided an Investment Letter with respect to a Rule
144A transaction, there shall also be delivered to the Owner Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel that such
transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act and
state securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Indenture Trustee
(unless it is the transferee from whom such opinion is to be obtained) or of
the Depositor or the Seller; provided, that such Opinion of Counsel in respect
of the applicable state securities laws may be a memorandum of law rather than
an opinion if such counsel is not licensed in the applicable jurisdiction.
Upon request, the Owner Trustee shall provide to any Holder of a Trust
Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder
information regarding the Trust Certificates and the Receivables and such
other information which is in the possession of the Owner Trustee or which can
be obtained by the Owner Trustee without undue burden or expense in order to
satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer
of any such Trust Certificate without registration thereof under the
Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A.
Each Holder of a Trust Certificate desiring to effect such a transfer shall,
and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if
the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with federal and
state securities laws.

         No transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be made to any Person unless
the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor have received
(a) a certificate in the form of paragraph three (3) to the Investment Letter
attached hereto as Exhibit C from such Person to the effect that such Person
is not a Benefit Plan, or (b) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Owner
Trustee and the Depositor to the effect that the purchase and holding of such
Trust Certificate will not constitute or result in the assets of the Trust
being deemed to be "plan assets" subject to the prohibited transactions
provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Depositor to any obligation in addition
to those undertaken in the Basic Documents; provided, however, that the Owner
Trustee will not require such certificate or opinion in the event that, as a
result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Owner
Trustee has rendered an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the purchase and
holding of a Trust Certificate by a Benefit Plan or a Person that is
purchasing or holding such a Trust Certificate with the assets of a Benefit
Plan will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code.

         Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Trust Certificate
at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, the Owner Trustee
shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause The Bank of New York
as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in

                                      9
<PAGE>

the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Trust Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount
dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating
agent. At the option of a Certificateholder, Trust Certificates may be
exchanged for other Trust Certificates of authorized denominations of a like
aggregate amount upon surrender of the Trust Certificates to be exchanged at
the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08.

         Every Trust Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly
executed by the related Certificateholder or such Certificateholder's attorney
duly authorized in writing. Each Trust Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled 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 Trust Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of Trust Certificates.

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

         Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Owner
Trustee shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer
complies with the registration provisions or exemptions from the Securities
Act, the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, applicable state securities law
or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; provided, however, that if
a certificate or opinion is specifically required to be delivered to the Owner
Trustee by a purchaser or transferee of a Trust Certificate, the Owner Trustee
shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether it conforms to
the requirements of this Trust Agreement and shall promptly notify the party
delivering the same if such certificate or opinion does not so conform.

         Section 3.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust
Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Trust 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 Trust
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 written notice that such
Trust Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner
Trustee shall execute and the Owner Trustee or The Bank of New York, 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 Trust
Certificate, a new Trust Certificate of like tenor and denomination. In
connection with the issuance of any new Trust 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 Trust Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section shall constitute

                                      10
<PAGE>

conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Certificate shall be found
at any time.

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

         Section 3.07. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses. The Owner Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Master Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Depositor, within 15 days after
receipt by the Owner Trustee of a written request therefor from the Master
Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Depositor, a list, in such form as the
Master Servicer or the Depositor may reasonably require, of the names and
addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. The
Certificate Registrar shall also furnish to the Owner Trustee and the Paying
Agent a copy of such list at any time there is a change therein. If (i) three
or more Certificateholders or (ii) one or more Holders of Trust Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Percentage Interests in the Trust
Certificates apply in writing to the Owner Trustee, and such application
states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders
with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Trust
Certificates and such application is accompanied by a copy of the
communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Owner Trustee
shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford
such applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of
Certificateholders. Each Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Trust
Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Depositor,
the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the
disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived. The Certificate Registrar shall upon the request of
the Owner Trustee provide such list, or access to such list, of
Certificateholders as contemplated by this Section 3.07.

         Section 3.08. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Owner Trustee
shall designate in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office
or offices or agency or agencies where Trust Certificates may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Trust Certificates and the Basic
Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee initially designates The Bank of
New York as the office for such purposes and The Bank of New York hereby
accepts such designation. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice
to the Depositor and the Certificateholders of any change in the location of
the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

         Section 3.09. Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall
make distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution
Account pursuant to Section 5.02 and shall report the amounts of such
distributions to the Owner Trustee. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable
power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the
purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Owner Trustee may
revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Paying Agent shall have
failed to perform its obligations under

                                      11
<PAGE>

this Agreement in any material respect. The Owner Trustee hereby appoints
The Bank of New York to act as Paying Agent, and The Bank of New York
hereby accepts such appointment. As Paying Agent, The Bank of New York hereby
agrees to hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the
Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders. The Bank of
New York shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' written
notice to the Owner Trustee. In the event that The Bank of New York shall no
longer be the Paying Agent, the Depositor, with the consent of the Owner
Trustee, shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a
bank or trust company). The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Paying
Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed hereunder to execute and
deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying
Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that, as
Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold
all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums
shall be paid to such Certificateholders. The Paying Agent shall return all
unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such
Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner
Trustee. The provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04, 8.01 and 8.02 shall
apply to The Bank of New York in its role of Paying Agent and Certificate
Registrar, for so long as The Bank of New York shall act as Paying Agent and
Certificate Registrar, to the Owner Trustee, if the Owner Trustee is appointed
to act as Paying Agent, for so long as the Owner Trustee shall act as Paying
Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed
hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include
any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

         Section 3.10. Definitive Trust Certificates. The Trust Certificates,
upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of a typewritten Trust
Certificate or Trust Certificates in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A to
be delivered to the Certificateholders as directed by the Depositor, by, or on
behalf of, the Trust. Such Trust Certificate or Trust Certificates shall be
registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the holder thereof. The
Trust Certificates shall be printed, lithographed, typewritten or engraved or
may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Owner
Trustee, as evidenced by its execution thereof.

         the Certificateholders;

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

         assets to any other entity;

                  (j)  cause the Owner Trustee to incur, assume or guaranty any

                  (o)  cause the Owner Trustee to lend any funds to any entity,
         unless permitted in the Basic Documents; or

                  (p)  change the Trust's purpose and powers from those set
         forth in this Trust Agreement.

         In addition, the Owner Trustee shall not commingle its assets with
those of any other entity. The Owner Trustee shall maintain its financial and
accounting books and records separate from those of any other entity. Except
as expressly set forth herein, the Owner Trustee shall not pay the
indebtedness, operating expenses and liabilities of any other entity. The
Owner Trustee shall maintain appropriate minutes or other records of all

furtherance of any of the foregoing (any of the above, a "Bankruptcy Action").
So long as the Indenture remains in effect, no Certificateholder shall have
the power to take, and shall not take, any Bankruptcy Action with respect to
the Owner Trustee or the Trust or direct the Owner Trustee to take any
Bankruptcy Action with respect to the Owner Trustee or the Trust.
Additionally, the Owner Trustee shall not have the power to commence a

<PAGE>

         Section 4.03. Restrictions on Certificateholders' Power. The
Certificateholders shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take or to refrain
from taking any action if such action or inaction would be contrary to any
obligation of the Trust or the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of
the Basic Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.03; nor shall the Owner
Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction, if given.

         Section 4.04. Majority Control. Except as expressly provided herein,
any action that may be taken by the Certificateholders under this Agreement
may be taken by the Holders of Trust Certificates evidencing not less than a
majority of the Percentage Interests in the Certificates. Except as expressly
provided herein, any written notice of the Certificateholders delivered
pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective if signed by Holders of Trust
Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Percentage Interests
in the Certificates at the time of the delivery of such notice.

                                  ARTICLE V

                  APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES

         Section 5.01. Establishment of Trust Account. The Owner Trustee, for
the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall cause the Paying Agent to
establish and maintain in the name of the Owner Trustee an Eligible Account
(the "Certificate Distribution Account"), bearing a designation clearly
indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. The title of the Certificate Distribution Account shall be
"Wachovia Bank of Delaware, National Association, as Owner Trustee of Regions
Auto Receivables Trust 2003-1:  Certificate Distribution Account for the
benefit of the Certificateholders."

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

         Section 5.02. Application of Trust Funds.

                  (a)  On each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause the
Paying Agent to distribute to Certificateholders amounts deposited in the
Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement with respect to such Payment Date.

                  (b)  On each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause the
Paying Agent to send to each Certificateholder the statement or statements
provided to the Owner Trustee by the

                                      15
<PAGE>

Master Servicer pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement
with respect to such Payment Date.

                  (c)  In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the
Owner Trustee's payment (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such
tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Certificateholder
in accordance with this Section. The Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent are
hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable
to the Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is
legally owed by the Owner Trustee (but such authorization shall not prevent
the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent from contesting any such tax in
appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by
law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding
tax imposed with respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash
distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Owner
Trustee and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a
possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution
(such as a distribution to a non-U.S. Certificateholder), the Owner Trustee or
the Paying Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in
accordance with this paragraph.

         Section 5.03. Method of Payment. Subject to Section 9.01(c),
distributions required to be made to Certificateholders on any Payment Date
shall be made to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date
either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of
such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided to the Certificate
Registrar and the Paying Agent appropriate written instructions at least five
Business Days prior to such Payment Date and such Holder's Trust Certificates
in the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than a thirty percent
(30%) Percentage Interest, or, if not, by check mailed to such
Certificateholder at the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the
Certificate Register.

         Section 5.04. [Reserved].

         Section 5.05. Accounting and Reports to Certificateholders, the
Internal Revenue Service and Others. The Owner Trustee shall (a) maintain (or
cause to be maintained) the books of the Trust on a calendar year basis and
the accrual method of accounting, (b) deliver (or cause to delivered) to each
Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury
Regulations, such information as may be required (including Schedule K-1 if
the Trust is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes) to
enable each Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income tax
returns, (c) prepare (or cause to be prepared), file (or cause to be filed)
such tax returns relating to the Trust (including a partnership information
return, IRS Form 1065 if the Trust is treated as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes) and make such elections as from time to time may be
required or appropriate under any applicable state or federal statute or any
rule or regulation thereunder so as to maintain the Trust's characterization,
(d) cause such tax returns to be signed in the manner required by law and (e)
collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax as described in and in
accordance with Section 5.02(c) with respect to income or distributions to
Certificateholders. The Owner Trustee shall elect under Section 1278 of the
Code to include in income currently any market discount that accrues with
respect to the Receivables. The Owner Trustee shall not make the election
provided under Section 754 of the Code.

         Section 5.06. Signature on Returns; Tax Matters Partner.

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

                (b) In the event that the Trust is designated as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes, the Depositor shall be designated
the initial "tax matters partner" of the Trust pursuant to Section
6231(a)(7)(A) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations.

                                  ARTICLE VI

                     AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF OWNER TRUSTEE

         Section 6.01. General Authority. The Owner Trustee is authorized and
directed to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Owner Trustee
is to be a party and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit
to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Owner Trustee is to be
a party, in each case, as evidenced conclusively by the Owner Trustee's
execution thereof. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is
authorized to take all actions required of the Owner Trustee pursuant to the
Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee is further authorized from time to time to
take such action as the Administrator directs with respect to the Basic
Documents (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires the
consent of Certificateholders for such action, in which case the Owner Trustee
shall not take such action without such consent).

         Section 6.02. General Duties. It shall be the duty of the Owner
Trustee:

                (a)    to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its
responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Basic
Documents to which the Owner Trustee is a party and to administer the Trust in
the interest of the Certificateholders, subject to the Basic Documents and in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have
discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Basic
Documents to the extent the Administrator has agreed in the Administration
Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Owner Trustee
hereunder or under any Basic Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be held
liable for the default or failure of the Administrator to carry out its
obligations under the Administration Agreement; and

                (b)    subject to Section 7.08 hereof, to cooperate with the
Administrator in carrying out the Administrator's obligation to qualify and
preserve the Owner Trustee's or the Trust's qualification to do business in
each jurisdiction, if any, in which such qualification is or shall be
necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the
Notes, the Receivables and any other instrument and agreement included in the
Trust Estate; provided that the Owner Trustee may rely on advice of counsel
with respect to such obligation.

         Section 6.03. Action upon Instruction.

                (a)    Subject to Article IV and in accordance with the terms
of the Basic Documents, the Certificateholders may by written instruction
direct the Owner Trustee in the

                                      17
<PAGE>

management of the Trust. Such direction may be exercised at any time
by written instruction of the Certificateholders pursuant to Article IV. In
addition, the Administrator may direct the Owner Trustee, and the Owner
Trustee is authorized to take direction from the Administrator pursuant to
Section 6.01.

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

                (c)    Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between
alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this
Agreement or under any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give
notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the
Certificateholders of record as of the preceding Record Date 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
such Certificateholders received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on
account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have
received appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such
shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be
necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take
or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Agreement or the
Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the
Certificateholders, 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
Certificateholders of record as of the preceding Record Date 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
Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action
or inaction.

         Section 6.04. No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in
Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to
manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of,
or otherwise deal with the 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 or the Trust 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

                                      18
<PAGE>

pursuant to Section 6.03; and no implied duties or obligations shall
be read into this Agreement or any Basic Document against the Owner Trustee.
The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or
continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise
perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or Lien granted to
it hereunder or to prepare or file any Securities and Exchange Commission
filing for the Trust or to record this Agreement or any Basic Document. The
Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense,
promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any Liens on any
part of the Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity that are not related to the ownership
or the administration of the Trust Estate.

         Section 6.05. No Action Except Under Specified Documents or
Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose
of or otherwise deal with any part of the 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 any provision of this Agreement.

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

                                 ARTICLE VII

                         CONCERNING THE OWNER TRUSTEE

         Section 7.01. Acceptance of Trusts and Duties. The Owner Trustee
accepts the trusts hereby created and agrees to perform its duties hereunder
with respect to such trusts, but only upon the terms of this Agreement. The
Owner Trustee also agrees to disburse all moneys actually received by it
constituting part of the Trust Estate upon the terms of the Basic Documents
and this Agreement. The Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity, shall not
be answerable or accountable hereunder or under any Basic Document under any
circumstances, except (i) for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence
(except as provided in Section 7.01(g)) or (ii) in the case of the inaccuracy
of any representation or warranty contained in Section 7.03 expressly made by
the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity. In particular, but not by way of
limitation (and subject to the exceptions set forth in the preceding
sentence):

                  (a)  The Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity, shall not
         be liable for any error of judgment made by a Trust Officer of the
         Owner Trustee;

                  (b)  The Owner Trustee (either in its individual capacity or
         as Owner Trustee) shall not be liable with respect to any action
         taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the
         instructions of the Administrator or any Certificateholder;

                                      19
<PAGE>

                  (c)  No provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document
         shall require the Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity, to
         expend or risk funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in
         the performance of any of its rights or powers hereunder or under any
         Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for
         believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
         such risk or liability is not reasonably assured or provided to it;

                  (d)  Under no circumstances shall the Owner Trustee, in its
         individual capacity, be liable for indebtedness evidenced by or
         arising under any of the Basic Documents, including the principal of
         and interest on the Notes;

                  (e)  The Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity, shall not
         be responsible for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of
         this Agreement or for the due execution hereof by the Depositor or
         for the form, character, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity
         of any of the Trust Estate, or for or in respect of the validity or
         sufficiency of the Basic Documents, other than the certificate of
         authentication on the Trust Certificates, and the Owner Trustee, in
         its individual capacity, shall in no event assume or incur any
         liability, duty or obligation to any Noteholder or to any
         Certificateholder, other than as expressly provided for herein or
         expressly agreed to in the other Basic Documents;

                  (f)  The Owner Trustee (either in its individual capacity or
         as Owner Trustee) shall not be responsible for monitoring the
         performance of, and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct
         of the Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
         Indenture Trustee or any other Person under any of the Basic
         Documents or otherwise, and the Owner Trustee (either in its
         individual capacity or as Owner Trustee) shall have no obligation or
         liability to perform the obligations of the Trust under this
         Agreement or the Basic Documents that are required to be performed by
         the Administrator under the Administration Agreement, the Indenture
         Trustee under the Indenture or the Depositor or the Master Servicer
         under the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and

                  (g)  The Owner Trustee (either in its individual capacity or
         as Owner Trustee) shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
         rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute,
         conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or otherwise or
         in relation to this Agreement or any Basic Document, at the request,
         order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such
         Certificateholders have offered to the Owner Trustee security, in its
         individual capacity, or indemnity satisfactory to it against the
         costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by the Owner
         Trustee, in its individual capacity, 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 or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act.

         Section 7.02. Furnishing of Documents. The Owner Trustee shall
furnish to the Certificateholders, promptly upon receipt of a written request
therefor, duplicates or copies of all

                                      20
<PAGE>

reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates, financial statements
and any other instruments furnished to the Owner Trustee under the
Basic Documents.

         Section 7.03. Representations and Warranties. The Owner Trustee, in
its individual capacity, hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor, for
the benefit of the Certificateholders, that:

                       (a) It is a national banking association duly organized
         and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the United
         States of America. It has all requisite corporate power and authority
         to 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 the
         Basic Documents, and this Agreement and the Basic Documents will be
         executed and delivered by one of its officers who is duly authorized
         to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Basic Documents on its
         behalf.

                       (c) Neither the execution or 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 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 bylaws or any
         indenture, mortgage, contract, agreement or instrument to which it is
         a party or by which any of its properties may be bound.

         Section 7.04. Reliance; Advice of Counsel.

                 (a)   The Owner Trustee (either in its individual capacity or
as 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
determination of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Owner
Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the
president or any vice president or by the treasurer or other authorized
officers of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such
certificate shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

                 (b)   In the exercise or administration of the trusts
hereunder and in the performance of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement or the Basic Documents, the Owner Trustee (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 (ii) may consult
with counsel, accountants and other

                                      21
<PAGE>

skilled Persons to be selected with reasonable care and employed by it. The
Owner Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted
reasonably and in good faith by it in accordance with the written opinion or
advice of any such counsel, accountants or other such Persons and not contrary
to this Agreement or any Basic Document.

         Section 7.05. Not Acting in Individual Capacity. Except as expressly
provided in this Article VII, in accepting the trusts hereby created, Wachovia
Bank of Delaware, National Association acts solely as Owner Trustee hereunder
and not in its individual capacity, and all Persons having any claim against
the Owner Trustee by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or any Basic Document shall look only to the Trust Estate for payment or
satisfaction thereof.

         Section 7.06. Owner Trustee Not Liable for Trust Certificates or for
Receivables. The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Certificates
(other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the
Trust Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the
Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. Except as
set forth in Section 7.03, the Owner Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any Basic Document or of the
Trust Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner
Trustee on the Trust Certificates) 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
Trust Estate or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to
Certificateholders 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 or the Master Servicer 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
Administrator, the Indenture Trustee or the Master Servicer or any subservicer
taken in the name of the Owner Trustee.

         Section 7.07. Owner Trustee May Own Trust Certificates and Notes. The
Owner Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Trust Certificates or Notes and may deal with the Depositor, the
Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer in banking
transactions with the same rights as it would have if it were not Owner
Trustee.

         Section 7.08. Doing Business in Other Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Owner Trustee shall not be
required to take any action in any jurisdiction (except for the State of
Alabama) other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will
(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 required by, any state or other governmental authority or agency of
any jurisdiction other than the State of

                                      22
<PAGE>

Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under
the laws of any jurisdiction or any political subdivisions thereof in
existence on the date hereof other than the State of Delaware becoming payable
by the Owner Trustee; or (iii) subject the Owner Trustee 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 the Owner Trustee contemplated hereby. The Owner Trustee shall be entitled
to obtain advice of counsel (which advice shall be an expense of the
Administrator under Section 8.01 of this Agreement) to determine whether any
action required to be taken pursuant to the Agreement results in the
consequences described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding
sentence. In the event that said counsel advises the Owner Trustee that such
action will result in such consequences, the Owner Trustee will appoint an
additional trustee pursuant to Section 10.05 hereof to proceed with such
action.

         Section 7.09. Paying Agent; Authenticating Agent. The rights and
protections afforded to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Article VII and Sections
8.02, 10.02, and 10.03 shall also be afforded to the Paying Agent,
authenticating agent and Certificate Registrar.

                                 ARTICLE VIII

                         COMPENSATION OF OWNER TRUSTEE

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

fees as have been separately agreed upon before the date hereof between the
Administrator and the Owner Trustee, and the Administrator shall reimburse the
Owner Trustee for its other reasonable expenses hereunder, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents,
representatives, experts and counsel as the Owner Trustee may employ in
connection with the exercise and performance of its rights and its duties
hereunder and under the Basic Documents.

         Section 8.02. Indemnification. The Trust shall indemnify the Owner
Trustee and its successors, assigns, agents and servants (collectively, the

losses, damages, taxes, claims, actions and suits, and any and all reasonable
costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively, "Expenses") which
may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Owner
Trustee or any Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, the Basic Documents, the Trust Estate, the administration of the
Trust Estate or the action or inaction of the Owner Trustee hereunder, except
only that the Trust shall not be liable for or required to indemnify an
Indemnified Party from or against Expenses arising or resulting from (i) the
willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith of the Owner Trustee or (ii)
the inaccuracy of a representation or warranty made by the Owner Trustee in
Section 7.03. The indemnities contained in this Section shall survive the
resignation or termination of the Owner Trustee or the termination of this
Agreement. In the event of any claim, action or proceeding for which indemnity
will be sought pursuant to this Section, the Indemnified Party's choice of
legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                        TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT

         Section 9.01. Termination of Trust Agreement.

                 (a)   This Agreement (other than Section 5.05 and Article
VIII) and the Trust shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon
the final distribution by the Owner Trustee of all moneys or other property or
proceeds of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture,
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Article V; provided, however, that in no
event shall the Trust created by this Agreement continue beyond the expiration
of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph
P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the Court of St. James, living on the date
of this Agreement. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or
incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (i) operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust, (ii) entitle such 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 any part of
the Trust or Trust Estate or (iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations
and liabilities of the parties hereto.

                 (b)   This Agreement and the Trust are irrevocable. Except as
provided in Section 9.01(a) and in this Section 9.01(b), neither the Depositor
nor any Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate this Trust
or this Agreement. Each of the Depositor, the Certificateholders and the Owner
Trustee acknowledges that the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders,
is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. For so long as the Notes are
outstanding, neither the Trust nor this Agreement shall be revoked without the
consent of the Indenture Trustee. Each of the Depositor, the
Certificateholders and the Owner Trustee acknowledges that the Indenture
Trustee, as agent of the Noteholders, maintains a legitimate interest in
ensuring that the Trust is not revoked prior to the fulfillment of the Trust
purposes. In no event may this Agreement be amended without the consent of the
Indenture Trustee if the effect of such amendment is the revocation or
termination of this Trust other than in accordance with this Section 9.01.

                 (c)   Notice of any termination of the Trust, specifying the
Payment Date upon which Certificateholders shall surrender their Trust
Certificates to the Paying Agent for payment of the final distribution and
cancellation, shall be given by the Owner Trustee by letter to
Certificateholders mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice of
such termination from the Master Servicer given pursuant to Section 9.01 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, stating (i) the Payment Date upon or with
respect to which final payment of the Trust Certificates shall be made upon
presentation and surrender of the Trust Certificates at the office of the
Paying Agent therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Trust Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein

                                      24
<PAGE>

specified. The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate
Registrar (if other than the Owner Trustee) and the Paying Agent at the time
such notice is given to Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of
the Trust Certificates, the Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to
Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Payment Date pursuant to
Section 5.02.

         In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Trust Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date
specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Owner Trustee shall give
a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Trust Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Trust
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Owner
Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take
appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Trust Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out
of the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Any
funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be
distributed by the Owner Trustee to the Depositor, subject to applicable
escheat laws.

                                  ARTICLE X

            SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES AND ADDITIONAL OWNER TRUSTEES

         Section 10.01. Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner
Trustee shall at all times be a corporation, bank or trust company which is
not an affiliate of the Depositor (but may have normal banking relationships
with the Depositor and its affiliates); authorized to exercise trust powers
which shall be eligible to act as a trustee under Section 310(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act; having (or having a parent that has) a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities; and having (or having a parent that has) time
deposits that are rated at least A-1 by Standard & Poor's and P-1 by Moody's,
or which is otherwise acceptable to each Rating Agency. If such corporation,
bank or trust company 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, bank or trust company shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report
of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified
in Section 10.02.

         Section 10.02. Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee. The Owner
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by giving written notice thereof to the Administrator, the Indenture
Trustee and the Rating Agencies. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to
the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no
successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee, provided, however, that such
right to appoint or

                                      25
<PAGE>

to petition for the appointment of any such successor shall in no event relieve
the resigning Owner Trustee from any obligations otherwise imposed on it under
the Basic Documents until such successor has in fact assumed such appointment.

         If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.01 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Administrator, or if at any time the Owner
Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner
Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Administrator may remove the Owner
Trustee. If the Administrator shall remove the Owner Trustee under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrator shall
promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing
Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee, and
shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

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

         Section 10.03. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee
appointed pursuant to Section 10.01 or 10.02 shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become
effective, and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if
originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall, upon
payment of its fees and expenses, deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all
documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the
Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully
and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.

         No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner
Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01.

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

                                      26
<PAGE>

         Section 10.04. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any Person
into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may
be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, without
the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding;
provided, that such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01; and
provided further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or
consolidation to each Rating Agency.

         Section 10.05. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located,
the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power
and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Administrator and Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly
with the Owner Trustee, or as separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or
any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity,
such title to the Trust Estate or any part thereof and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Administrator and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable. If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment
within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner
Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or
separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 and no
notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be
required pursuant to Section 10.03.

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

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

                       (b) No trustee under this Agreement shall be personally
         liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under
         this Agreement nor shall any trustee have any duty to supervise any
         other trustee hereunder; and

                       (c) The Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting
         jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any
         separate trustee or co-trustee.

                                      27
<PAGE>

         Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall
be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement
and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the
Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.

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

                                  ARTICLE XI

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

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

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

                                      28
<PAGE>

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

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

         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
(if any) to such amendment specified in this Agreement have been met. The
Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
amendment that affects the Owner Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities
under this Agreement or otherwise.

         Section 11.02. No Legal Title to Trust Estate in Certificateholders.
Neither the Depositor nor the Certificateholders shall have legal title to any
part of the Trust Estate. The Certificateholders shall be entitled to receive
distributions with respect to their undivided ownership interest therein only
in accordance with Articles V and IX. No transfer, by operation of law or
otherwise, of any right, title or interest of the Certificateholders to and in
their undivided ownership interest in the Trust Estate 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
Estate.

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

         Section 11.04. Notices.

         (a) Unless otherwise expressly specified or permitted by the terms
hereof, all notices shall be in writing and shall be deemed given upon receipt

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

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

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

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

         Section 11.08. Covenants of the Depositor. The Depositor will not at
any time institute against the Trust any bankruptcy proceedings under any
United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with
any obligations relating to the Trust Certificates, the Notes, this Agreement
or any of the other Basic Documents.

         Section 11.09. No Petition. The Owner Trustee, by entering into this
Agreement, each Certificateholder, by accepting a Trust Certificate, and the
Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder, by accepting the benefits of this
Agreement, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute
against the Depositor or the Trust or join in any institution against the
Depositor or the Trust of, any bankruptcy proceedings under any United States
federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations
relating to the Trust Certificates, the Notes, this Agreement or any of the
Basic Documents.

         Section 11.10. No Recourse. Each Certificateholder by accepting a
Trust Certificate acknowledges that such Trust Certificate represents a
beneficial interest in the Trust only and does not represent an interest in or
an obligation of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Administrator, the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse
may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly
set forth or contemplated in this Agreement, the Trust Certificates or the
Basic Documents.

         Section 11.11. Headings. The headings of the various Articles and
Sections herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or
limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.

         Section 11.12. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

         Section 11.13. Trust Certificate Transfer Restrictions. The Trust
Certificates may not be acquired by or for the account of (a) unless an
Opinion of Counsel has been delivered in accordance with the third paragraph
of Section 3.04, (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of
ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan
described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, (iii) any entity whose underlying
assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in the entity or
otherwise under ERISA (each, a "Benefit Plan"), or (b) a Person who is not
either (A)(1) a citizen or individual resident of the United States, (2) a
corporation, partnership or other entity organized in or under the laws of the
United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia or (3) a Person
not described in (A)(1) or (2) whose ownership of the Trust Certificates is
effectively connected with such Person's conduct of a trade or business within
the United States (within the meaning of the Code) and its ownership of any
interest in a Certificate will not result in any withholding obligation with
respect to any payments with respect to the Trust Certificates by any Person
(other than withholding, if any, under Section 1446 of the Code) or (B) an
estate the income of which is includible in gross income for federal income
tax purposes regardless of source or a trust if (1) the court within the
United States is able to exercise primary supervision of the administration of
such trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control
all substantial decisions of the Issuer or (2) such trust was in existence on
August 20, 1996 and properly elected to continue to be treated as a United
States person. The purchaser of Trust Certificates must agree to provide a

expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form (and such other
certifications, representations or Opinions of Counsel as may be requested by
the transferor and the Owner Trustee). By accepting and holding a Trust
Certificate, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.

         Section 11.14. Acceptance of Terms of Agreement. The receipt and
acceptance of a Trust Certificate by a Certificateholder, without any
signature or further manifestation of assent, shall constitute the
unconditional acceptance by the Certificateholder of all the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, and shall constitute the agreement of the
Certificateholder that the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding, operative and effective as between the Owner Trustee and the
Certificateholder.

         It is the intent of the Depositor and the Certificateholders that, to
the extent the Certificates are beneficially owned by a single
Certificateholder for purposes of federal income, state and local income and
single business tax and any other income taxes, the Trust will be treated as
an agent of the sole Certificateholder and to the extent the Certificates are
beneficially owned by more than one Certificateholder as a partnership with
the Certificateholders being treated as partners in that tax partnership. A
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Certificate, agrees to so
treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Trust for
such tax purposes as an agent of the Trust and not as a separate tax entity
for federal income tax and state income and franchise tax purposes.

         Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Certificate,
agrees to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the
Trust Certificates for such tax purposes as the beneficial ownership interests
in an entity that is disregarded if there is only one Certificateholder or as
partnership interests in the Trust if there is more than one
Certificateholder.

         A Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Certificate,
covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not at any time
institute against the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or the Trust, or join in
any institution against the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or the Trust of, any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state
bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the
Trust Certificates, the Notes, the Trust Agreement or any of the Basic
Documents.

         Payments on this Trust Certificate will be made as provided in the
Trust Agreement by the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent by wire transfer or
check mailed to the Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register
without the presentation or surrender of this Trust Certificate or the making
of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement
and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Trust
Certificate will be made after due notice by the Owner Trustee of the pendency
of such payment and only upon presentation and surrender of this Trust
Certificate at the office or agency designated for that purpose by the Owner
Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

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

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

         THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS,

                        [REVERSE OF TRUST CERTIFICATE]

         The Trust Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an
interest in, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity or any affiliates of any of them and no recourse may be
had against such parties or their assets, except as expressly set forth or
contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement or the Basic Documents. In
addition, this Trust Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency
or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections
and recoveries with respect to the Receivables (and certain other amounts),
all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. A copy of each of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust
Agreement may be examined by any Certificateholder upon written request during
normal business hours at the principal office of the Depositor and at such
other places, if any, designated by the Depositor.

         The Trust Agreement, with certain exceptions provided therein, may be
amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, with prior
written notice to each Rating Agency, with the consent of the Holders (as
defined in the Indenture) of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes and the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than a majority of the Percentage Interests in the
Certificates, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Trust Agreement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the
Certificateholders. Any such consent by the Holder of this Trust Certificate
shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of
this Trust Certificate and of any Trust Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of
such consent is made upon this Trust Certificate. The Trust Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Trust Certificates.

         As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Trust Certificate is registerable in
the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Trust Certificate for
registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate
Registrar designated by the Owner Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed
by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Trust Certificates of authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the
designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the
Trust Agreement is The Bank of New York, New York, New York.

         Except as provided in the Trust Agreement, the Trust Certificates are
issuable only as registered Trust Certificates without coupons in minimum
denominations of one percent Percentage Interest. As provided in the Trust
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Trust
Certificates are exchangeable for new Trust Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as requested by the
Certificateholder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for
any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may

                                     A-9
<PAGE>

require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.

         The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the
Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name
this Trust Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.

         The obligations and responsibilities created by the Owner Trustee
Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the disposition of
all property held as part of the Trust Estate. The Master Servicer of the
Receivables may at its option purchase the Trust Estate at a price specified
in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and such purchase of the Receivables and
other property of the Trust will effect early retirement of the Trust
Certificates; provided, however, that such right of purchase is exercisable
only as of the Determination Date as of which the Pool Balance is less than or
equal to 10% of the Initial Pool Balance.

         Unless an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered in accordance with
the third paragraph of Section 3.04 of the Trust Agreement, the Trust
Certificates may not be acquired by or on behalf of (a) an employee benefit
plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions
of Title I of ERISA, (b) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or
(c) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a
plan's investment in the entity, or otherwise under ERISA (each, a "Benefit
Plan"). By accepting and holding this Trust Certificate, the Holder hereof
shall be deemed to have represented and warranted either (i) that it is not a
Benefit Plan or (ii) that it has delivered such an Opinion of Counsel.

         In connection with our proposed purchase of a [o]% percentage
interest in the Asset Backed Certificates (the "Certificates") of Regions Auto
Receivables Trust 2003-1 (the "Issuer"), we confirm that:

                  1. We understand that the Certificates have not been
         registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
         Act") and may not be sold except as permitted in the following
         sentence. We understand and agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of
         any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, (x) that
         such Certificates are being offered only in a transaction not
         involving any public offering within the meaning of the 1933 Act and
         (y) that such Certificates may be resold, pledged or transferred only
         (i) to the Depositor, (ii) to an "accredited investor" as defined in
         Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3) or (7) (an "Accredited Investor") under the
         1933 Act acting for its own account (and not for the account of
         others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are
         Accredited Investors unless the holder is a bank acting in its
         fiduciary capacity) that executes a certificate substantially in the
         form hereof, (iii) so long as such Certificate is eligible for resale
         pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act ("Rule 144A"), to a person
         whom we reasonably believe after due inquiry is a "qualified
         institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A, acting for its own
         account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or
         agent for others (which others also are "qualified institutional
         buyers") to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer
         is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (iv) in a sale, pledge or
         other transfer made in a transaction otherwise exempt from the
         registration requirements of the 1933 Act, in which case the Owner
         Trustee shall require that both the prospective transferor and the
         prospective transferee certify to the Owner Trustee or the
         Certificate Registrar and the

                                     C-1
<PAGE>

         Depositor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which
         certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the
         Owner Trustee and the Depositor. Except in the case of a transfer
         described in clauses (i) or (iii) above, the Owner Trustee shall
         require that a written opinion of counsel (which will not be at the
         expense of the Depositor, any affiliate of the Depositor, the Owner
         Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) satisfactory to the Owner
         Trustee or the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor be delivered
         to the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor
         to the effect that such transfer will not violate the 1933 Act, in
         each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any
         state of the United States. We will notify any purchaser of the
         Certificates from us of the above resale restrictions, if then
         applicable. We further understand that in connection with any
         transfer of the Certificates by us that the Depositor and the Owner
         Trustee may request, and if so requested we will furnish such
         certificates and other information as they may reasonably require to
         confirm that any such transfer complies with the foregoing
         restrictions.

                  2.              [CHECK ONE]

[ ]      (a) We are an "accredited investor" (as defined in Rule
         501(a)(1),(2),(3) or (7) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act) acting
         for our own account (and not for the account of others) or as a
         fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are Accredited
         Investors unless we are a bank acting in its fiduciary capacity). We
         have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
         as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment
         in the Certificates, and we and any accounts for which we are acting
         are each able to bear the economic risk of our or their investment
         for an indefinite period of time. We are acquiring the Certificates
         for investment and not with a view to, or for offer and sale in
         connection with, a public distribution.

[ ]      (b) We are a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule
         144A under the 1933 Act and are acquiring the Certificates for our
         own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or
         agent for others (which others also are "qualified institutional
         buyers"). We are familiar with Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and are
         aware that the seller of the Certificates and other parties intend to
         rely on the statements made herein and the exemption from the
         registration requirements of the 1933 Act provided by Rule 144A.

                  3. We are not and are not acting on behalf 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 described
         in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or (iii) any entity whose
         underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's
         investment in the entity or otherwise under ERISA (each, a "Benefit
         Plan"). We hereby acknowledge that no transfer of any Certificate
         shall be permitted to be made to any person unless the Owner Trustee
         has received (i) a certificate from such transferee to the effect of
         the preceding sentence, or (ii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to
         the Owner Trustee to the effect that the purchase and holding of any
         such Certificate will not constitute or result in the assets of the
         Issuer being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited
         transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will
         not subject the Owner Trustee, the Indenture

                                     C-2
<PAGE>

         Trustee or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those
         undertaken in the Basic Documents with respect to the Certificates
         (provided, however, that the Owner Trustee will not require such
         certificate or opinion in the event that, as a result of change of
         law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Owner Trustee has
         rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of
         any such Certificate by a Benefit Plan or a Person that is purchasing
         or holding any such Certificate with the assets of a Benefit Plan
         will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA
         or Section 4975 of the Code).

                  4. We are a Person who is either (A)(1) a citizen or
         individual resident of the United States, (2) a corporation,
         partnership or other entity organized in or under the laws of the
         United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia or (3) a
         Person not described in (A)(1) or (2) whose ownership of the Trust
         Certificates is effectively connected with such Person's conduct of a
         trade or business within the United States (within the meaning of the
         Code) and its ownership of any interest in a Certificate will not
         result in any withholding obligation with respect to any payments
         with respect to the Trust Certificates by any Person (other than
         withholding, if any, under Section 1446 of the Code) or (B) an estate
         the income of which is includible in gross income for federal income
         tax purposes regardless of source or a trust if (1) the court within
         the United States is able to exercise primary supervision of the
         administration of such trust and one or more United States persons
         have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the Issuer
         or (2) such trust was in existence on August 20, 1996 and properly
         elected to continue to be treated as a United States person. We agree
         to provide a certification of non-foreign status signed under penalty
         of perjury and, alternatively, that if we are a Person described in
         clause (A)(3) above, we will furnish to the transferor and the Owner
         Trustee a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI and a new IRS Form W-8ECI
         upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form
         (and such other certifications, representations or Opinions of
         Counsel as may be requested by the transferor and the Owner Trustee).

                  5. We understand that the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the
         Issuer, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Morgan
         Keegan & Company Inc. and others will rely upon the truth and
         accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and
         agreements, and we agree that if any of the acknowledgments,
         representations and warranties deemed to have been made by us by our
         purchase of the Certificates, for our own account or for one or more
         accounts as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion,
         are no longer accurate, we shall promptly notify the Depositor, the
         Owner Trustee, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and
         Morgan Keegan & Company Inc.

                  6. You are entitled to rely upon this letter and you are
         irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any
         interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or
         official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

                              Very truly yours,

                              [NAME OF PURCHASER]
