Execution Copy

DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

This Deposit
Account Control Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated as of November 1, 2006, is
made by and among HSBC Automotive Trust (USA) 2006-3, as issuer (the “Issuer”),
The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., not in its individual capacity but
solely as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”) under the Indenture
referred to below, and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as administrator
and as bank (“HSBC” and, in its capacity as Administrator, the “Administrator”,
and in its capacity as bank, the “Bank”). 
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning
assigned (including by reference therein) in the Indenture dated as of November
1, 2006 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, HSBC, as administrator, and the
Indenture Trustee.  All references herein
to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State
of New York.

Section 1.              Establishment
of Deposit Accounts. 
The Bank hereby confirms and agrees that:

(a)   The Bank has established account numbers
10-879781 (the “Collection Account”) and 10-879782 (the “Reserve Account”) in
the name “HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Administrator on
behalf of The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Indenture Trustee, in
trust for the registered holders of HSBC Automotive Trust (USA) 2006-3 Notes”
(such accounts and any successor accounts thereof, the “Deposit Accounts”)
designated as the “Collection Account” and the “Reserve Account”, respectively,
pursuant to the Indenture.  Except as
provided in Section 12 hereof, the Bank shall not change the name, account
number or designation of the Deposit Accounts without the prior written consent
of the Indenture Trustee and without prior written notice to the Servicer,
which notice shall state the proposed effective date of any such change;

(b)   The Bank is an organization
engaged in the business of banking and is acting in such capacity in
maintaining the Deposit Accounts and acting as Bank hereunder;

(c)   Each Deposit Account has
been established and will be maintained as a “deposit account”(as defined in
Section 9-102(29) of the UCC) and is not evidenced by an “instrument” (as
defined in Section 9-102(47) of the UCC);

(d)   The Indenture Trustee is the
Bank’s sole “customer” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) with
respect to the Deposit Accounts;

(e)   All cash and money delivered
to the Bank pursuant to the Indenture will be promptly credited to the Deposit
Accounts in accordance with the terms of the Basic Documents; and

(f)    The Bank’s “jurisdiction”
(within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) is the State of New York.

Section 2.              Indenture
Trustee’s Directions. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt,
if at any time the Bank shall receive any instructions originated by the
Indenture Trustee directing the disposition of funds in the Deposit Accounts,
the Bank shall comply with such instructions without further consent by the
Issuer or any other Person.  The parties
hereto acknowledge that the Administrator may give instructions to the

 

Bank directing the disposition of funds in the Deposit
Accounts pursuant to the Indenture.  In
the event of a conflict between the instructions originated by the Indenture
Trustee and the instructions originated by the Administrator directing the
disposition of funds in the Deposit Accounts, the instructions of the Indenture
Trustee shall prevail.

Section 3.              Subordination
of Liens; Waiver of Set-Off.  In the event that the Bank has or subsequently
obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, a security interest or
other rights in the Deposit Accounts or any monies credited thereto, the Bank
hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security
interest of the Indenture Trustee.  The
monies deposited in the Deposit Accounts will not be subject to deduction,
set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than
the Indenture Trustee (except that the Bank may set off (i) all amounts due to
the Bank in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance
and operation of the Deposit Accounts and (ii) the face amount of any checks
which have been credited to the Deposit Accounts but are subsequently returned
unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).

Section 4.              Governing
Law.  Both this
Agreement and the Deposit Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State
of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein.  Regardless of any provision in any other
agreement, for purposes of the UCC, the State of New York shall be deemed to be
the Bank’s jurisdiction (in accordance with Section 9-304(b) of the UCC), and
the Deposit Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

Section 5.              Conflict
with Other Agreements; Amendments.

(a)   In the event of any conflict
between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now
existing or hereafter entered into regarding the Deposit Accounts, the terms of
this Agreement shall prevail.

(b)   No amendment or modification
of this Agreement or waiver of any right hereunder shall be binding on any
party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all of the parties
hereto.  This Agreement may not be amended
without satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.

(c)   The Bank, strictly in such
capacity, hereby confirms and agrees that it has not entered into, and until
the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any other Person purporting to limit or
condition the obligation of the Bank to comply with the Indenture Trustee’s
directions or instructions with respect to the Deposit Accounts.

Section 6.              Adverse
Claims.  Except for
the claims and interest of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer in the Deposit
Accounts, the Bank does not know or have notice of any claim to, or interest
in, the Deposit Accounts.  If the Bank
obtains actual knowledge of any Person asserting any lien, encumbrance or
adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of
attachment, execution or similar process) against the Deposit Accounts, the
Bank will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer thereof.

agree that the Bank is released from any and all liabilities to the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee arising from the terms of this Agreement and the
compliance of the Bank with the terms hereof, except to the extent that such
liabilities arise from the Bank’s willful misconduct, negligence or bad

of this Agreement or the compliance of the Bank with the terms hereof, and from
and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel
fees and other expenses of every nature and character arising by reason of the
same, except to the extent that such arises from the Bank’s willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith.  This Section 9
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.            Successors;
Assignment.  The
terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit
of, the parties hereto and their respective corporate successors who obtain
such rights solely by operation of law.
