          (e) No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in
the form set forth in Exhibit C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4 or C-5 as
applicable, executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its Authorized
Officers; such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

     SECTION 2.3 Temporary Notes.

          (a) Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, if any, the Issuing Entity may execute, and
upon receipt of an Issuing Entity Order the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, such
Temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced,
of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations as
are consistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine,
as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

          (b) If Temporary Notes are issued, the Issuing Entity shall cause Definitive Notes to be
prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Temporary
Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the Temporary Notes at the
Agency Office of the Issuing Entity to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without
charge to the Noteholder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more Temporary Notes, the
Issuing Entity shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so
delivered in exchange, the Temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

     SECTION 2.4 Registration of Notes; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

          (a) The Issuing Entity shall cause to be kept the Note Register, comprising separate registers
for each class of Notes, in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Issuing Entity may
prescribe, the Issuing Entity shall provide for the registration of the Notes and the registration
of transfers and exchanges of the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall initially be the Note
Registrar for the purpose of registering the Notes and transfers of the Notes as herein provided.
Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuing Entity shall promptly appoint a successor
Note Registrar or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of the Note
Registrar.

          (b) If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuing Entity as Note
Registrar, the Issuing Entity will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the
appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note
Register. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all
reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to rely
upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to
the names and addresses of the Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

5

 

          (c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Indenture Trustee or the Agency Office of the Issuing Entity (and following the delivery, in
the former case, of such Notes to the Issuing Entity by the Indenture Trustee), the Issuing Entity
shall execute, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the
Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes
in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.

          (d) At the option of the Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same class
in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount; and upon surrender of such
Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or the Agency Office
of the Issuing Entity (and following the delivery, in the former case, of such Notes to the Issuing
Entity by the Indenture Trustee), the Issuing Entity shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, such Notes which the
Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

          (e) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of other Notes shall be the
valid obligations of the Issuing Entity, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange.

          (f) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly
endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust
company located, or having a correspondent located, in the City of New York or the city in which
the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee is located, or by a member firm of a national
securities exchange, and such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require.

          (g) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange
of Notes, but the Issuing Entity or Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration
of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.3 or
9.6 not involving any transfer.

          (h) By acquiring a Class A Note, Class B Note or Class C Note, each purchaser and transferee
shall be deemed to represent and warrant that either (i) it is not acquiring the Note with the plan
assets of a Benefit Plan or other plan that is subject to any law that is substantially similar to
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give
rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code or a violation of any substantially similar applicable law.

          (i) The preceding provisions of this Section 2.4 notwithstanding, the Issuing Entity
shall not be required to transfer or make exchanges, and the Note Registrar need not register
transfers or exchanges, of Notes that (i) have been selected for redemption pursuant to

6

 

Article X, if applicable, or (ii) are due for repayment within fifteen (15) days of submission to the
Corporate Trust Office or the Agency Office.

     SECTION 2.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

          (a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and
(ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by
it to hold the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to
the Issuing Entity, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by
a protected purchaser, the Issuing Entity shall execute and upon the Issuing Entity’s request the
Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of a like class and aggregate principal amount;
provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a
mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven (7) days shall be due and payable, or shall have
been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuing Entity may make
payment to the Holder of such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the
Redemption Date, if applicable, without surrender thereof.

          (b) If, after the delivery of a replacement Note or payment in respect of a destroyed, lost or
stolen Note pursuant to subsection (a), a protected purchaser of the original Note in lieu
of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuing
Entity and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such
payment) from (i) any Person to whom it was delivered, (ii) the Person taking such replacement Note
from the Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered; or (iii) any assignee of such Person,
except a protected purchaser, and the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to
recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or
expense incurred by the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

          (c) In connection with the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.5,
the Issuing Entity may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
reasonable expenses (including all fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

          (d) Any duplicate Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.5 in replacement for any
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Issuing Entity, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note
shall be found at any time or be enforced by any Person, and shall be entitled to all the benefits
of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

          (e) The provisions of this Section 2.5 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

any Note, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the
Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of
determination) as the Noteholder for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest
on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and

funds to the account designated by the Note Depository; provided, further, that
with respect to any Private Notes, upon written request of the Holder thereof, payment shall be

installments on the Distribution Dates (if any) preceding the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for
such class, in the amounts and in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section
8.2(c)(ii) or 8.2(c)(iii), as applicable. All principal payments on each class of
Notes on any Distribution Date shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such class entitled

account designated by the Note Depository and (B) with respect to any Private Notes, upon written
request of the Holder thereof, payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available

Redemption Price for the Notes redeemed pursuant to Section 10.1, which, in each case,
shall be payable as provided herein. The funds represented by any such checks in respect of
interest or principal returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.3.

          (c) From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and a declaration in accordance with
Section 5.2(a) that the Notes have become immediately due and payable, until such time as
all Events of Default have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.2(b), all interest
and principal payments shall be allocated:

               (i) first, for payment of interest pro rata on the Class A Notes, the Aggregate Class A
Interest Distributable Amount;

               (ii) second, an amount equal to the Note Principal Balance of the Class A Notes (after giving
effect to the reduction in the Note Principal Balance to result from the deposits made in the Note
Distribution Account on such Distribution Date and on each prior Distribution Date) for payment of
principal pro rata on the Class A Notes;

               (iii) third, an amount equal to the Aggregate Class B Interest Distributable Amount for
payment of interest on the Class B Notes;

               (iv) fourth, an amount equal to the Note Principal Balance of the Class B Notes (after giving

               (v) fifth, an amount equal to the Aggregate Class C Interest Distributable Amount for payment

principal on the Class C Notes;

               (vii) seventh, an amount equal to the Aggregate Class D Interest Distributable Amount for
payment of interest on the Class D Notes; and

               (viii) eighth, an amount equal to the Note Principal Balance of the Class D Notes (after
giving effect to the reduction in the Note Principal Balance to result from the deposits made in
the Note Distribution Account on such Distribution Date and on each prior Distribution Date) for
payment of principal on the Class D Notes.

          (d) With respect to any Distribution Date on which the final instalment of principal and
interest on a class of Notes is to be paid, the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Issuing Entity shall notify each Noteholder of record of such class as of the Record Date for
such Distribution Date of the fact that the final instalment of principal of and interest on such
Note is to be paid on such Distribution Date. With respect to any such class of Notes, such notice
shall be sent (i) on such Record Date by facsimile, if Book-Entry Notes are outstanding; or (ii)
not later than three (3) Business Days after such Record Date in accordance with Section
11.5(a) if

Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such instalment and the manner in which such
payment shall be made. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to
Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2. Within sixty (60) days of the surrender pursuant
to this Section 2.7(d) or cancellation pursuant to Section 2.8 of all of the Notes
of a particular class, the Indenture Trustee if requested shall provide each of the Rating Agencies
with written notice stating that all Notes of such class have been surrendered or canceled.

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

     SECTION 2.9 Release of Collateral. The Indenture Trustee shall not release property from the Lien
of this Indenture other than as permitted by Sections 3.21, 8.2, 8.4 and
11.1, and then only upon receipt of an Issuing Entity Request accompanied by an Officer’s
Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel (to the extent required by the TIA) and Independent Certificates
in accordance with TIA §§314(c) and 314(d)(1).

     SECTION 2.10 Book-Entry Notes. Except as set forth in Section 2.15 with respect to the
Private Notes, the Notes, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of a typewritten Note
or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, as the
initial Clearing Agency, or its custodian, by or on behalf of the Issuing Entity. Such Note or
Notes shall be registered on the Note Register in the name of the Note Depository, and no Note
Owner shall receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except
as provided in Section 2.12. Unless and until the Definitive Notes have been issued to
Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12:

          (a) the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be in full force and effect;

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

10

 

          (c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.10 conflict with any other
provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall control;

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

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

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

     SECTION 2.12 Definitive Notes. If (i) the Administrator advises the Indenture Trustee in writing
that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities
with respect to the Notes and the Issuing Entity is unable to locate a qualified successor; (ii)
the Administrator, at its option, advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency; or (iii) after the occurrence of an
Event of Default or a Servicer Default, Note Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating
at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class advise the Clearing Agency
in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in
the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and
the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the
typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by
registration instructions, the Issuing Entity shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None
of the Issuing Entity, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize
the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

     SECTION 2.13 Depositor as Noteholder. The Depositor in its individual or any other capacity may
become the owner or pledgee of Notes of any class and may otherwise deal

11

 

with the Issuing Entity or
its affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the
Depositor. 

     SECTION 2.14 Tax Treatment. The Depositor and the Indenture Trustee, by entering into this
Indenture, and the Noteholders, by acquiring any Note or interest therein, (i) express their
intention that the Notes qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the
Collateral, and (ii) unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities, agree to treat
the Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of federal income taxes, state
and local income and franchise taxes, Michigan single business tax, and any other taxes imposed
upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

     SECTION 2.15 Special Terms Applicable to the Private Notes.

          (a) None of the Private Notes has been or will be registered under the Securities Act or the
securities laws of any other jurisdiction. Consequently, the Private Notes are not transferable
other than pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
satisfaction of certain other provisions specified herein.

          (b) No sale, pledge or other transfer of Private Notes or an interest in the Private Notes may
be made by any person other than to (i) a person who the transferor reasonably believes is a
“qualified institutional buyer” (“QIB”) as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities Act
(“Rule 144A”) and is purchasing for its own account (and not for the account of others) or
as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are “QIBs”) and is aware that the sale to it
is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (ii) in the case of the Class A-1 Notes only, a non-U.S.
Person (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)) who acquired
the Class A-1 Note outside of the United States in accordance with Regulation S.

          (c) With respect to the Class D Notes only, the Issuing Entity is authorized and directed to
withhold tax at the highest United States federal income tax rate applicable to ordinary income
from any payment of interest to a foreign Noteholder as if such interest allocable to the foreign
Noteholder were effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United
States. In determining the non-foreign status of the Noteholder, the
Issuing Entity shall be entitled to rely on the Noteholder’s certification of non-foreign
status signed under penalties of perjury. Each foreign Noteholder shall obtain a taxpayer
identification number from the United States Internal Revenue Service and submit that number to the
Issuing Entity on an appropriate form in order to assure appropriate crediting of the taxes
withheld. The amount of any tax so withheld shall be treated as interest paid in cash to such
foreign Noteholder at the time it is withheld by the Issuing Entity and remitted to the United
States Internal Revenue Service. Any withholding of tax hereunder shall not prevent the Issuing
Entity or the foreign Noteholder from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings. A
foreign Noteholder who wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax shall file with the
United States Internal Revenue Service a claim for refund. Such claim of the foreign Noteholder
shall be made solely against the United States Internal Revenue Service or the United States.

          (d) No sale, pledge or other transfer of Class D Notes may be made to any one person for Class
D Notes with an initial principal balance of less than $500,000, and, in the case

12

 

of any person acting on behalf of one or more third parties (other than a “bank,” as defined in Section 3(a)(2)
of the Securities Act, acting in its fiduciary capacity), for Class D Notes with a face amount of
less than such amount for each such third party. Any attempted transfer in contravention of the
immediately preceding restriction will be void ab initio and the purported transferor will continue
to be treated as the owner of the Class D Notes for all purposes.

          (e) The Class D Notes may not be acquired by or for the account of (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, or (iii) any entity whose underlying
assets include “plan assets” by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or a plan’s investment in the
entity, other than an “insurance company general account” (as defined in Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60) whose underlying assets include less than 25% “plan assets”
and for which the purchase and holding of Class D Notes is eligible for and satisfies all
conditions for relief under PTCE 95-60. The Class D Notes also may not be acquired by or for the
account of an employee benefit plan or plan that is not subject to the provisions of Title I of
ERISA (including, without limitation, foreign or governmental plans) if such acquisition would
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under, or a violation of, any applicable law that is
substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

          (f) Each Private Note shall bear a legend to the effect set forth in the first two sentences
of subsection (a) above.

ARTICLE III

COVENANTS

     SECTION 3.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuing Entity shall duly and punctually pay
the principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this
Indenture. On each Distribution Date and on the Redemption Date (if applicable), the Issuing
Entity shall cause amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account to be distributed to the
Noteholders in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 8.2, less amounts properly withheld
under the Code by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal. Any amounts so withheld shall be considered as
having been paid by the Issuing Entity to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

     SECTION 3.2 Maintenance of Agency Office. As long as any of the Notes remains outstanding, the
Issuing Entity shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office (the
“Agency Office”), being an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered to the Issuing Entity
for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuing
Entity in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuing Entity hereby
initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The
Issuing Entity shall give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of
any change in the location, of the Agency Office. If at any time the Issuing Entity shall fail to
maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address
thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Indenture Trustee, and the Issuing Entity hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent

payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Note
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 8.2(c) shall be made on behalf of the Issuing

the amounts then becoming due with respect to the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled thereto.

          (c) The Issuing Entity shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to
execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree
with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so
agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 3.3, that such Paying Agent shall:

               (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

               (ii) give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuing Entity (or any other

Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying
Agent;

               (iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums

discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuing Entity Order direct any Paying
Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be
held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such

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

maintained in the Reserve Account for the benefit of the Securityholders and the Servicer, and as
security for the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under the Trust Sale and Servicing
Agreement.

          (c) The Issuing Entity hereby authorizes the Indenture Trustee to file all financing
statements naming the Issuing Entity as debtor that are necessary or advisable to perfect, make

that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or
impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as otherwise

Trustee and the Rating Agencies thereof, and shall specify in such notice the response or action,
if any, the Issuing Entity has taken or is taking with respect of such default. If a Servicer
Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations
under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to
the Receivables, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee shall take all reasonable steps
available to them pursuant to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement to remedy such failure.

Issuing Entity to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee; immediately prior to the conveyance
of the Receivables pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuing Entity had good and marketable title

Entity, the Indenture Trustee shall have a Lien on all of the right, title and interest of the
Issuing Entity in, to and under the Receivables, the unpaid indebtedness evidenced thereby and the
collateral security therefor, and such right, title and interest are free of any Lien other than
the Lien of this Indenture; and

          (b) All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any
jurisdiction to give the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in the
Receivables shall have been made.

may be;

          (b) the Issuing Entity has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder or under
any Third Party Instrument by the Issuing Entity; and

          (c) the Issuing Entity has delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of the
Issuing Entity, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the TIA or the Indenture Trustee) an
Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public accountants, each meeting the applicable
requirements of Section 11.1(a) and each stating that all conditions precedent herein
provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

     SECTION 4.2 Application of Trust Money. All monies deposited with the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be
held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture,
to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent, as the Indenture Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of the particular Notes for the

24

 

payment or redemption of which such
monies have been deposited with the Indenture Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon
for principal and interest and to payment of any other Secured Party or any holder of any Third
Party Instrument of all sums, if any, due or to become due to any other Secured Party or any holder
of any Third Party Instrument under and in accordance with this Indenture; but such monies need not
be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein, in the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement, or as required by law.

     SECTION 4.3 Repayment of Monies Held by Paying Agent. In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the
Notes, all monies then held by any Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee under the
provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Notes shall, upon demand of the Issuing Entity,
be paid to the Indenture Trustee to be held and applied according to Section 3.3 and
thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such
monies.

     SECTION 4.4 Duration of Position of Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding the earlier payment in full of all principal and interest due to the
Noteholders under the terms of the Notes and the cancellation of the Notes pursuant to Section
3.1, the Indenture Trustee shall continue to act in the capacity as Indenture Trustee hereunder
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, for purposes of compliance with, and the Indenture
Trustee shall comply with, its obligations under Sections 5.01(a), 7.02 and
7.03 of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, as appropriate, until such time as all
distributions due to the Certificateholders have been paid in full and in such capacity the
Indenture Trustee shall have the rights, benefits and immunities set forth in Article VI
hereof.

ARTICLE V

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

     SECTION 5.1 Events of Default. For the purposes of this Indenture, “Event of Default” wherever used herein, means any one
of the following events:

          (a) failure to pay the full Note Class Interest Distributable Amount to the Controlling Class
on any Distribution Date, and such default shall continue for a period of five (5) days; or

          (b) except as set forth in Section 5.1(c), failure to pay any instalment of the
principal of any Note as and when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues
unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after there shall have been given, by registered or
certified mail, to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or to the Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, a
written notice specifying such default and demanding that it be remedied and stating that such
notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

          (c) failure to pay in full the outstanding principal balance of any class of Notes by the
Final Scheduled Distribution Date for such class; or

          (d) default in the observance or performance in any material respect of any covenant or
agreement of the Issuing Entity made in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement, a
default in the observance or performance of which is elsewhere in this specifically

25

 

dealt with in
this Section 5.1) which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of the
Noteholders, and such default shall continue or not be cured, for a period of thirty (30) days
after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuing Entity and the
Depositor (or the Servicer, as applicable) by the Indenture Trustee or to the Issuing Entity
and the Depositor (or the Servicer, as applicable) and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of at
least 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, a written notice specifying such
default, demanding that it be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of
Default” hereunder; or

          (e) the filing of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises
in respect of the Issuing Entity or any substantial part of the Trust Estate in an involuntary case
under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter
in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or
similar official of the Issuing Entity or for any substantial part of the Trust Estate, or ordering
the winding-up or liquidation of the Issuing Entity’s affairs, and such decree or order shall
remain unstayed and in effect for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days; or

          (f) the commencement by the Issuing Entity of a voluntary case under any applicable federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or the consent by the
Issuing Entity to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or
the consent by the Issuing Entity to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuing Entity or
for any substantial part of the Trust Estate, or the making by the Issuing Entity of any general
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure by the Issuing Entity generally to pay its
debts as such debts become due, or the taking of action by the Issuing Entity in furtherance of any
of the foregoing.

The Issuing Entity shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, within five (5) Business Days after
learning of the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any
event which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under
Section 5.1(d), its status and what action the Issuing Entity is taking or proposes to take
with respect thereto.

     SECTION 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

          (a) If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case, unless
the principal amount of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Indenture
Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of
the Controlling Class may declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in
writing to the Issuing Entity (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders) setting
forth the Event or Events of Default, and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of
such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration,
shall become immediately due and payable.

          (b) At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity of the Notes has been made
and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due thereunder has been obtained by the
Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article V, the Holders of

26

 

Notes
representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, by written notice to
the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, may waive all Defaults set forth in the notice
delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(a), and rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences; provided, that no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or
affect any other Default or impair any right consequent thereto; and provided
further, that if the Indenture Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this
Indenture and such Proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission
and annulment or for any other reason, or such Proceedings shall have been determined adversely to
the Indenture Trustee, then and in every such case, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity and
the Noteholders, as the case may be, shall be restored respectively to their former positions and
rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity
and the Noteholders, as the case may be, shall continue as though no such Proceedings had been
commenced.

     SECTION 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.
The Issuing Entity covenants that if an Event of Default occurs and such Event of Default
has not been waived pursuant to Section 5.12 (or rescinded pursuant to Section
5.2(b)), the Issuing Entity shall, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to the Indenture
Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders in accordance with their respective outstanding
principal amounts, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest,
with interest upon the overdue principal, at the rate borne by the Notes and in addition thereto
such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its
agents and counsel.

          (b) If the Issuing Entity shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the
Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding
for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or
final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuing Entity or other obligor upon such Notes
and may collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuing Entity or other
obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

          (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more
particularly provided in Section 5.4, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its
rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee
shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the
Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by applicable law.

          (d) If there shall be pending, relative to the Issuing Entity or any other obligor upon the
Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate, Proceedings under
Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar law, or if a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of
the Issuing Entity or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other
comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuing Entity or other obligor upon the

27

 

Notes, or
to the creditors or property of the Issuing Entity or such other obligor, the Indenture
Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as
therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee
shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3, shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

               (i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary
or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for
reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor trustee, and their respective
agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and
all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor trustee, except as a result of
negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings;

               (ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of
Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any
such Proceedings;

               (iii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of
the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and

               (iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in
any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuing Entity, its creditors and its property;

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding
is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee for
application in accordance with the priorities set forth in the Basic Documents, and, if the
Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to
the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the
Indenture Trustee, each predecessor trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and
all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and
each predecessor trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

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

          (f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the
Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the
production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such

28

 

Proceedings
instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an
express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses,
disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their
respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with
the priorities set forth in the Basic Documents.

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

     SECTION 5.4 Remedies; Priorities.

          (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Notes have been
accelerated under Section 5.2(a), the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following
(subject to Sections 5.3 and 5.5):

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

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

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

               (iv) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or
more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law or elect to have
the Issuing Entity maintain possession of the Receivables and continue to apply collections on such
Receivables as if there had been no declaration of acceleration; provided, however,
that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event
of Default and acceleration of the Notes, unless (i) (A) the Holders of all of the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Notes consent thereto or (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation
distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full the principal of and the
accrued interest on the Notes, at the date of such sale or liquidation or (C) (x) there has been an
Event of Default under Section 5.1(a), 5.1(b) or 5.1(c) or otherwise
arising from a failure to make a required payment of principal on any Notes, (y) the Indenture
Trustee determines that the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the
payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as and when they would have become due if the
Notes had not been declared due and payable, and (z) the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of
Holders of a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class and (ii) ten (10) days’ prior
written notice of sale or liquidation has been given to the Rating Agencies. In determining such

29

 

sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee
may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or
accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the
sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose;

provided, however, that prior to the exercise of the right to sell all or any
portion of the Trust Estate as provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall provide a notice in
writing to the Issuing Entity (with a copy to the Depositor and the Owner Trustee) (the “Event
of Default Sale Notice”) of its intention to sell all or any portion of the Trust Estate (the
part to be sold being the “Subject Estate”), and if the Subject Estate is less than all of
the Trust Estate, the portion of the Trust Estate to be sold. The Indenture Trustee shall not
consummate any sale until at least seven Business Days after the Event of Default Sale Notice has
been given to the Issuing Entity (with a copy to the Depositor).

          (b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article
V, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

               FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under
Section 6.7 and then to the Owner Trustee for amounts due to
the Owner Trustee (not including amounts due for payments to the
Certificateholders) under the Trust Agreement or the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement; and

               SECOND: to the Collection Account, for distribution pursuant to
Sections 8.01(b) and 8.01(e) of the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

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

     SECTION 5.6 Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or
otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for
any other remedy hereunder, unless:

          (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing
Event of Default;

30

 

          (b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class have
made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event
of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

          (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against
the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

          (d) the Indenture Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and

          (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture
Trustee during such sixty (60) day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of
the Controlling Class;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any
manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other Holders of Notes or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in
the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable (on the basis of the respective aggregate
amount of principal and interest, respectively, due and unpaid on the Notes held by each
Noteholder) and common benefit of all holders of Notes. For the protection and enforcement of the
provisions of this Section 5.6, each and every Noteholder shall be entitled to such relief
as can be given either at law or in equity.

          If the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from
two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding
Amount of the Controlling Class, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what
action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

     SECTION 5.7 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest
on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this
Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, if applicable, on or after the Redemption Date) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired
without the consent of such Holder.

     SECTION 5.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any
right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such
Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally to their
respective former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture
Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

31

 

     SECTION 5.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the
Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

     SECTION 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy
or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every
right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the
Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

     SECTION 5.11 Control by Noteholders. The Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, subject
to provision being made for indemnification against costs, expenses and liabilities in a form
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, have the right to direct in writing the time, method and
place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect
to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided,
however, that:

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

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

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

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

provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need
not take any action that it determines might cause it to incur any liability or might materially
adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

     SECTION 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults.

          (a) Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in
Section 5.2, the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Controlling Class may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a
Default (i) in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (ii) in respect of a

32

 

covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder
of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

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

     SECTION 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in
any Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any
Proceeding against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such Proceeding of an undertaking to pay the
costs of such Proceeding, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such Proceeding, having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to:

          (a) any Proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee;

          (b) any Proceeding instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding
in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class; or

          (c) any Proceeding instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of
principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note
and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

     SECTION 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuing Entity covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not
at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture. The Issuing Entity (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Indenture Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such law had been enacted.

     SECTION 5.15 Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this
Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under
or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the Lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies
of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by
the Indenture Trustee against the Issuing Entity or

33

 

by the levy of any execution under such
judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuing Entity. Any
money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with
Section 5.4(b).

     SECTION 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

          (a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the
Administrator’s expense, the Issuing Entity agrees to take all such lawful action as the Indenture
Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Depositor and the
Servicer of their respective obligations to the Issuing Entity under or in connection with the
Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by GMAC of its
obligations under or in connection with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in accordance with the
terms thereof or by any obligor under a Third Party Instrument of its obligations under or in
accordance with the Third Party Instrument in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise
any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuing Entity under
or in connection with the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and any Third Party Instrument to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee,
including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Depositor, the Servicer, or any
obligor under a Third Party Instrument thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative
actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Depositor or the Servicer or any
obligor under a Third Party Instrument of their respective obligations under the Trust Sale and

          (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall
exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and
skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of such person’s own affairs.

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

               (i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture and the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture, the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement
or any other Basic Document against the Indenture Trustee; and

               (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as
to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Indenture; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall examine the
certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
Indenture.

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

               (i) this Section 6.1(c) does not limit the effect of Section 6.1(b);

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

               (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits
to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to any provision of
this Indenture or any other Basic Document.

except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Indenture or the Trust Sale and Servicing
Agreement or the Trust Agreement.

          (f) No provision of this Indenture or any other Basic Document shall require the Indenture
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it

35

 

shall have
reasonable grounds to believe that repayments of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

          (g) Every provision of this Indenture and each other Basic Document relating to the Indenture
Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1 and to the provisions of the
TIA.

          (j) If and for so long as Certificates representing in the aggregate a 100% beneficial
interest in the Trust are held by the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee shall make distributions to
the Depositor, rather than the Certificate Distribution Account, under the circumstances described
in Section 5.2 of the Trust Agreement.

     SECTION 6.2 Rights of Indenture Trustee.

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

          (b) Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s

Counsel.

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

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

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

36

 

          (f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this

satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

          (g) The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other
paper or document, but the Indenture Trustee, in its direction, may make such further inquiry or
investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit.

          (h) The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default, Event of Default
or Servicer Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge
thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the
Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, and such notice
references the Securities and this Indenture.

          (i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Indenture
Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable by, the Indenture Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, including its capacity
under Section 4.4 hereof, and in connection with the performance of any of its duties or
obligations under any of the Basic Documents.

     SECTION 6.3 Indenture Trustee May Own Notes. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuing Entity, the Servicer or any of their
respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee;
provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall comply with Sections 6.10 and
6.11. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same
with like rights.

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

     SECTION 6.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within
the later of (a) ninety (90) days after it occurs or (b) ten (10) days after it is known to a
Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in payment of
principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long
as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is
in the interests of Noteholders.

37

 

     SECTION 6.6 Reports by Indenture Trustee.

          (a) The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder the documents and information set
forth in Article VII and, in addition, all such information with respect to the Notes as
may be required to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns.

          (b) The Indenture Trustee shall:

               (i) deliver to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer a report of its assessment of
compliance with the Servicing Criteria regarding general servicing, cash and collection
administration, investor remittances and reporting, and pool asset administration during the
preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of non-compliance identified
by the Indenture Trustee, as required by Rule 13a-18 and Rule 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item
1122 of Regulation AB under the Securities Act;

               (ii) cause a firm of registered public accountants that is qualified and independent within
the meaning of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act to deliver to the Depositor,
the Owner Trustee and the Servicer an attestation report that satisfies the requirements of Rule
13a-18 or Rule 15d-18 under the Exchange Act, as applicable, on the assessment of compliance with
Servicing Criteria with respect to the prior calendar year for inclusion in the Issuing Entity’s
10-K filing; such attestation report shall be in accordance with Rule 1-02(a)(3) and Rule 2-02(g)
of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

               (iii) deliver to the Depositor and any other Person that will be responsible for signing the
certification (a “Sarbanes Certification”) required by Rule 13a-14(d) and Rule 15d-14(d)
under the Exchange Act (pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) on behalf of the
Issuing Entity or the Depositor with respect to this securitization transaction a certification
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D or such form as mutually agreed upon
by the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee; the Indenture Trustee acknowledges that the parties
identified in this clause (iii) may rely on the certification provided
by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to such clause in signing a Sarbanes Certification and
filing such with the Commission.

          (c) The reports referred to in Section 6.6(b) shall be delivered on or before March 15
of each year that a 10-K filing is required to be filed by the Issuing Entity, beginning March 15,
20___, unless the Issuing Entity is not required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act or
any other law, in which case such reports may be delivered on or before April 30 of each calendar
year, beginning April 30, 20___.

     SECTION 6.7 Compensation; Indemnity.

          (a) The Issuing Entity shall cause the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any
law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuing Entity shall cause the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to reimburse the Indenture

38

 

Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of
collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the
reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents,
external counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuing Entity shall cause the Servicer to
indemnify the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 6.01 of the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

          (b) The Issuing Entity’s obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section
6.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses
after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.1(e) or 5.1(f) with
respect to the Issuing Entity, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law.

     SECTION 6.8 Replacement of Indenture Trustee.

          (a) The Indenture Trustee may at any time give notice of its intent to resign by so notifying
the Issuing Entity; provided, however, that no such resignation shall become
effective and the Indenture Trustee shall not resign prior to the time set forth in Section
6.8(c). The Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class may remove
the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture
Trustee. Such resignation or removal shall become effective in accordance with Section
6.8(c). The Issuing Entity shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

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

               (ii) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

               (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its
property; or

               (iv) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

          (b) If the Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed or if a
vacancy exists in the office of the Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such
event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuing Entity shall
promptly appoint and designate a successor Indenture Trustee.

          (c) A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment and
designation to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuing Entity. Thereupon the resignation
or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective and the successor Indenture
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.
The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The
retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to
the successor Indenture Trustee.

39

 

          (d) If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within sixty (60) days after the
Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the
Issuing Entity or the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment and designation of a successor
Indenture Trustee.

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

          (f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section
6.8, the Issuing Entity’s obligations under Section 6.7 and the Servicer’s
corresponding obligations under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

     SECTION 6.9 Merger or Consolidation of Indenture Trustee.

          (a) Any corporation into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Indenture
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the
Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture;
provided, however, that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 6.11, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the
part of any of the parties to this Indenture, anything in this Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding.

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

     SECTION 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.

          (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of
meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate or any
Financed Vehicle may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or
co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Secured Parties
(only to the extent expressly provided herein), such title to the Trust Estate, or any part hereof,
and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No
co-trustee or

40

 

separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8.

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

               (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee
shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture 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 Indenture 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 Indenture 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 Indenture
Trustee;

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

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

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

          (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee, its
agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do
any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, 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
Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor
trustee.

     SECTION 6.11 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a). The

Service, Inc.) it shall have a long term

41

 

unsecured debt rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s
Investors Service, Inc. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however,
that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures

exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

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

     SECTION 6.13 Representations and Warranties of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee represents and warrants as of the [Initial] Closing Date that:

perform this Indenture, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance by it of this Indenture;

          (c) the execution, delivery and performance by the Indenture Trustee of this Indenture (i)

Estate pursuant to the provisions of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or other
undertaking to which it is a party, which violation, default or Lien could reasonably be expected
to have a materially adverse effect on the Indenture Trustee’s performance or ability to perform
its duties under this Indenture or on the transactions contemplated in this Indenture;

          (d) the execution, delivery and performance by the Indenture Trustee of this Indenture shall
not require the authorization, consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the filing or
registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any governmental authority or
agency regulating the banking and corporate trust activities of the Indenture Trustee; and

          (e) this Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Indenture Trustee and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Indenture Trustee, enforceable in
accordance with its terms.

     SECTION 6.14 Indenture Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and
enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production
thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Indenture
Trustee shall be brought in its own name as Indenture Trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall,

42

 

after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the
Noteholders and (only to the extent expressly provided herein) the Certificateholders in respect of
which such judgment has been obtained.

     SECTION 6.15 Suit for Enforcement. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee, in its
discretion may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, proceed to protect and enforce
its rights and the rights of the Noteholders under this Indenture by Proceeding whether for the
specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the
execution of any power granted in this Indenture or for the enforcement of any other legal,
equitable or other remedy as the Indenture Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most
effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders.

     SECTION 6.16 Rights of Noteholders to Direct Indenture Trustee. Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Controlling Class shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that subject to Section 6.1, the
Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Indenture
Trustee being advised by counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken,
or if the Indenture Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the
proceedings so directed would be illegal or subject it to personal liability or be unduly
prejudicial to the rights of Noteholders not parties to such direction; and provided, further, that
nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Indenture Trustee to take any action deemed
proper by the Indenture Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by the
Noteholders.

opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or
covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only
one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and
one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an
opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

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

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

          (d) Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to
the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuing Entity shall deliver any document as a
condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuing Entity’s compliance
with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of
such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case

54

 

may be), of
the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the
right of the Issuing Entity to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such
certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture
Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any
such document as provided in Article VI.

     SECTION 11.3 Acts of Noteholders.

          (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders or a class of Noteholders may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such
Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise
expressly provided such action shall become effective when such
instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby
expressly required, to the Issuing Entity. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied
therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the
Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or
of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
(subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing
Entity, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.3.

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

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

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

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

          (a) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuing Entity shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture
Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

          (b) the Issuing Entity by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder if in writing and either sent by electronic facsimile transmission (with
hard copy to follow via first class mail) or mailed, by certified mail, return receipt requested to
the Issuing Entity and the Owner Trustee each at the address specified in Appendix B to the
Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

55

 

          The Issuing Entity shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to
the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall likewise promptly transmit any notice received
by it from the Noteholders to the Issuing Entity.

          (c) Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuing Entity and the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be delivered as specified in Appendix B to the
Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     SECTION 11.5 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

          (a) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if it is in writing and mailed,
first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at such Person’s address as
it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest
date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. If notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither
the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder
shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that
is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given
regardless of whether such notice is in fact actually received.

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

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

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

     SECTION 11.6 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the
Issuing Entity may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of
payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different
from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuing Entity
shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee
shall cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

56

 

     SECTION
11.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

          (a) If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that
is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required
provision shall control.

          (b) The provisions of TIA §§ 310 through 317 that impose duties on any Person (including the
provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a
part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

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

     SECTION 11.9 Successors and Assigns.

          (a) All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuing Entity shall
bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

          (b) All covenants and agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its
successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

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

     SECTION 11.11 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied,
shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, and to the
extent expressly provided herein, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, any other party secured
hereunder, any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate and any
holder of a Third Party Instrument, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under this Indenture. The holder of a Third Party Instrument shall be a third-party beneficiary to
this Agreement only to the extent that it has any rights specified herein or rights with respect to
this Indenture specified under the Swap Counterparty Rights Agreement.

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

     SECTION 11.13 Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS
OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, AND THE

PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SUCH LAWS.

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

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

     SECTION 11.16 No Recourse. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under
this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith,

holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee
or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity (or any of their successors or assigns), except as any such Person may have expressly
agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such
obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary
shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for
stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any instalment or call owing to such entity.
For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuing
Entity hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms
and provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

Note Owner, by accepting a Note (or interest therein) issued hereunder, hereby covenant and agree
that they shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of this
Indenture with respect to the Issuing Entity pursuant to Section 4.1, acquiesce, petition

shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent
disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are

hold the Indenture Trustee harmless as set forth in Section 6.01(a)(iv) of the Trust Sale
and Servicing Agreement.

REVERSE OF NOTE

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuing Entity, designated as its
[Class A-1a ___%] [Class A-1b Floating Rate] Asset Backed Notes (herein called the [“Class A-1a
Notes"]) [“Class A-1b Notes]”), all issued under an indenture, dated as of                     , 20___
(such indenture, as amended or supplemented, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the
Issuing Entity and [                    ], as trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes
any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations
thereunder of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. The [Class A-1a]
[Class A-1b] Notes are one of several duly authorized classes of Notes of the Issuing Entity issued
pursuant to the Indenture (collectively, as to all Notes of all such classes, the “Notes”).
The Notes are governed by and subject to all terms of the Indenture (which terms are incorporated
herein and made a part hereof), to which Indenture the Holder of this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b]
Note by virtue of acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. All capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined in this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note that are defined in the
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.

          The [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Notes and all other Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture are
and will be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided
in the Indenture.

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner will be deemed to represent and warrant that either (1) it is
not acquiring the Note with (i) the assets of an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section
3(3) of ERISA), that is subject to provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a “plan” described in
Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, (iii) an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by
reason of an employee benefit plan’s or a plan’s investment in the entity or (iv) any other plan
that is subject to any law that is substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or
(2) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any
substantially similar applicable law.

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note or, in the
case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note, covenants and
agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of
the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture
or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) the Depositor or any other owner
of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual
capacities, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in
their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that
any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable
law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any
instalment or call owing to such entity.

C-1-6

 

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note or, in the
case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b], covenants and agrees
that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture such Noteholder or Note Owner will not, prior to
the date which is one year and one day after the termination of the Indenture with respect to the
Issuing Entity, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Depositor or the Issuing
Entity to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or
sustaining a case against the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity or any
substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the
Depositor or the Issuing Entity.

          Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note or, in the case of a Note
Owner, a beneficial interest in a [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note, expresses its intention that this
[Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note qualifies under applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the
Collateral and, unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities, agrees to treat the
[Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of
federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes, Michigan single business tax, and
any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

          Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b]
Note, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the
Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note (as of the
day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note shall be overdue, and none of the
Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

          The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuing Entity and the rights of the
Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the Issuing Entity with the consent of the Holders
of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class. The Indenture
also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the
Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all [Class A-1a] [Class
A-1b] Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuing Entity with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by
the Holder of this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this [Class A-1a] [Class
A-1b] Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or
in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this [Class A-1a]
[Class A-1b] Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain
terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders.

          The term “Issuing Entity” as used in this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note includes any
successor to the Issuing Entity under the Indenture.

C-1-7

 

          The Issuing Entity is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or
consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the
Indenture.

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

          This [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the
obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in
accordance with such laws.

          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuing Entity, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee in
their respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity,
nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or
successors or assigns, shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them
for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of
the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note or
the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications
have been made by the Owner Trustee solely as the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuing
Entity. The Holder of this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that,
except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the
Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or
claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to
prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuing Entity for any and all
liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this [Class A-1a] [Class
A-1b] Note.

one of several duly authorized classes of Notes of the Issuing Entity issued pursuant to the
Indenture (collectively, as to all Notes of all such classes, the “Notes”). The Notes are
governed by and subject to all terms of the Indenture (which terms are incorporated herein and made
a part hereof), to which Indenture the Holder of this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note by virtue of
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. All capitalized terms used and not
otherwise defined in this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note that are defined in the Indenture, as
supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.

          The [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Notes and all other Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture are
and will be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided
in the Indenture.

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner will be deemed to represent and warrant that either (1) it is
not acquiring the Note with (i) the assets of an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section
3(3) of ERISA), that is subject to provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a “plan” described in
Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, (iii) an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by
reason of an employee benefit plan’s or a plan’s investment in the entity or (iv) any other plan
that is subject to any law that is substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or
(2) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any
substantially similar applicable law.

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note or, in the
case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note, covenants and agrees
that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the
Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or
any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) the Depositor or any other owner
of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual
capacities, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in
their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that
any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable
law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any
instalment or call owing to such entity.

C-2-6

 

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note or, in the
case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note, covenants and
agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture such Noteholder or Note Owner will not,
prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of the Indenture with respect
to the Issuing Entity, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Depositor or the
Issuing Entity to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of
commencing or sustaining a case against the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity
or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs
of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity.

          Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note or, in the case of a Note
Owner, a beneficial interest in a [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note, expresses its intention that this
[Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note qualifies under applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the
Collateral and, unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities, agrees to treat the
[Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of
federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes, Michigan single business tax, and
any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

          Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b]
Note, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the
Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note (as of the
day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note shall be overdue, and none of the
Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

          The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuing Entity and the rights of the
Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the Issuing Entity with the consent of the Holders
of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class. The Indenture
also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the
Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the [Class A-1a]
[Class A-1b] Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuing Entity with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent
or waiver by the Holder of this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note (or any one of more Predecessor
Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this [Class
A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or
waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the
Noteholders.

          The term “Issuing Entity” as used in this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note includes any
successor to the Issuing Entity under the Indenture.

C-2-7

 

          The Issuing Entity is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or
consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the
Indenture.

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

          This [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the
obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in
accordance with such laws.

          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuing Entity, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee in
their respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity,
nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or
successors or assigns, shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them
for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of
the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note or
the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications
have been made by the Owner Trustee solely as the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuing
Entity. The Holder of this [Class A-1a] [Class A-1b] Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that,
except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the
Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or
claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to
prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuing Entity for any and all
liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this [Class A-1a] [Class
A-1b] Note.

          CAPITAL AUTO RECEIVABLES ASSET TRUST ___-_, a statutory trust organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the “Issuing Entity”), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
                     DOLLARS ($                    ) or such lesser outstanding amount as may be payable in
accordance with the Indenture (as defined on the reverse side of this Note), on each Distribution
Date, in an amount equal to the result obtained by multiplying (i) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the initial principal amount hereof and the denominator of which is the aggregate initial
principal amount for such [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] [Class B] [Class C] Notes by (ii) the
aggregate amount, if any, payable on such Distribution Date from the Note Distribution Account in
respect of principal on the [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] [Class B] [Class C] Notes pursuant
to Sections 2.7, 3.1 and 8.2(c) of the Indenture; provided,
however, that the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on

amount

shall be due on the Redemption Date. The Issuing Entity shall pay interest on this Note at
the rate per annum shown above on each Distribution Date until the principal of this Note is paid
or made available for payment on the principal amount of this Note outstanding on the preceding
Distribution Date (after giving effect to all payments of principal made on the preceding
Distribution Date (or, for the initial Distribution Date, the outstanding principal balance on the
[Initial] Closing Date)). Interest on the [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] [Class B] [Class C]
Notes will accrue from and including the [Initial] Closing Date and will be payable on each
Distribution Date in an amount equal to the Note Class Interest Distributable Amount for such
Distribution Date for the [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] [Class B] [Class C]. Interest will
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months (or, in the case of the initial
Distribution Date, an [___] day period). Such principal of and interest on this Note shall be paid
in the manner specified on the reverse hereof. All interest payments on each class of Notes on any
Distribution Date shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such class entitled thereto.

          The principal of and interest on this Note are payable in such coin or currency of the United
States of America which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts. All payments made by the Issuing Entity with respect to this Note shall be applied first to
interest due and payable on this Note as provided above and then to the unpaid principal of this
Note.

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

REVERSE OF NOTE

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuing Entity, designated as
[Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] [Class B] [Class C] ___% Asset Backed Notes (herein called
the “[Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] [Class B] [Class C] Notes”), all issued under an
indenture, dated as of                     , 20___(such indenture, as amended or supplemented, is herein called
the “Indenture”), between the Issuing Entity and [                    ], as trustee (the
“Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and
the Noteholders. The [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] [Class B] [Class C] Notes are one of
several duly authorized classes of Notes of the Issuing Entity issued pursuant to the Indenture
(collectively, as to all Notes of all such classes, the “Notes”). The Notes are governed
by and subject to all terms of the Indenture (which terms are incorporated herein and made a part
hereof), to which Indenture the Holder of this Note by virtue of acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Note that
are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the
Indenture.

          The [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] [Class B] [Class C] Notes and all other Notes issued
pursuant to the Indenture are and will be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral pledged as
security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner will be deemed to represent and warrant that either (1) it is
not acquiring the Note with (i) the assets of an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section
3(3) of ERISA), that is subject to provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a “plan” described in
Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, (iii) an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by
reason of an employee benefit plan’s or a plan’s investment in the entity or (iv) any other plan
that is subject to any law that is substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or
(2) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any
substantially similar applicable law.

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered
in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual
capacities, (ii) the Depositor or any other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or
(iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, any holder of a beneficial interest in
the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, except as any such Person
may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully
liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid
capital contribution or failure to pay any instalment or call owing to such entity.

C-3-4

 

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture
such Noteholder or Note Owner will not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the
termination of the Indenture with respect to the Issuing Entity, acquiesce, petition or otherwise
invoke or cause the Depositor or the Issuing Entity to invoke the process of any court or
government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Depositor or
the Issuing Entity under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the
Depositor or the Issuing Entity or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up
or liquidation of the affairs of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity.

          Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial
interest in a Note, expresses its intention that this Note qualifies under applicable tax law as
indebtedness secured by the Collateral and, unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing
authorities, agrees to treat the Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of
federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes, Michigan single business tax, and
any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

          Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuing Entity,
the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be
specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this
Note shall be overdue, and none of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

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

          The Issuing Entity is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or
consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the
Indenture.

C-3-5

 

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

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

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

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee in
their respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity,
nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or
successors or assigns, shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them
for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of
the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note or the Indenture, it being
expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by the
Owner Trustee solely as the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuing Entity. The Holder of this
Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in
the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of
the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that
nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets
of the Issuing Entity for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the
Indenture or in this Note.

principal amount for such [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] [Class B] [Class C] Notes, by (ii)
the aggregate amount, if any, payable on such Distribution Date from the Note Distribution Account

REVERSE OF NOTE

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuing Entity, designated as its
[Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] [Class B] [Class C] Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes (herein
called the “[Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] [Class B] [Class C]”), all issued under an
indenture, dated as of ___, 20___(such indenture, as amended or supplemented, is herein called
the “Indenture”), between the Issuing Entity and [                    ], as trustee (the
“Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and
the Noteholders. The [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] [Class B] [Class C] Notes are one of
several duly authorized classes of Notes of the Issuing Entity issued pursuant to the Indenture
(collectively, as to all Notes of all such classes, the “Notes”). The Notes are governed
by and subject to all terms of the Indenture (which terms are incorporated herein and made a part
hereof), to which Indenture the Holder of this Note by virtue of acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Note that
are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the
Indenture.

          The [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] [Class B] [Class C] Notes and all other Notes issued
pursuant to the Indenture are and will be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral pledged as
security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner will be deemed to represent and warrant that either (1) it is
not acquiring the Note with (i) the assets of an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section
3(3) of ERISA), that is subject to provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a “plan” described in
Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, (iii) an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by
reason of an employee benefit plan’s or a plan’s investment in the entity or (iv) any other plan
that is subject to any law that is substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or
(2) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any
substantially similar applicable law.

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered
in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual
capacities, (ii) the Depositor or any other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or
(iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, any holder of a beneficial interest in
the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, except as any such Person
may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully
liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid
capital contribution or failure to pay any instalment or call owing to such entity.

C-4-4

 

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a
beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture
such Noteholder or Note Owner will not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the
termination of the Indenture with respect to the Issuing Entity, acquiesce, petition or otherwise
invoke or cause the Depositor or the Issuing Entity to invoke the process of any court or
government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Depositor or
the Issuing Entity under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the
Depositor or the Issuing Entity or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up
or liquidation of the affairs of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity.

          Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial
interest in a Note, expresses its intention that this Note qualifies under applicable tax law as
indebtedness secured by the Collateral and, unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing
authorities, agrees to treat the Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of
federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes, Michigan single business tax, and
any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

          Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuing Entity,
the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be
specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this
Note shall be overdue, and none of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

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

          The Issuing Entity is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or
consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the
Indenture.

C-4-5

 

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

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

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

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee in
their respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity,
nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or
successors or assigns, shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them
for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of
the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note or the Indenture, it being
expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by the
Owner Trustee solely as the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuing Entity. The Holder of this
Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in
the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of
the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that
nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets
of the Issuing Entity for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the
Indenture or in this Note.

          Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class D Note or, in the case of a Note
Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class D Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits
of the Indenture such Noteholder or Note Owner will not, prior to the date which is one year and
one day after the termination of the Indenture with respect to the Issuing Entity, acquiesce,
petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Depositor or the Issuing Entity to invoke the process of
any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the
Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or
appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar
official of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity or any substantial part of its property, or
ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity.

C-5-6

 

          Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Class D Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial
interest in a Class D Note, expresses its intention that this Class D Note qualifies under
applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the Collateral and, unless otherwise required by
appropriate taxing authorities, agrees to treat the Class D Notes as indebtedness secured by the
Collateral for the purpose of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes,
Michigan single business tax, and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or
net income.

          Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Class D Note, the Issuing
Entity, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name this Class D Note (as of the day of determination or as of such
other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Note shall be overdue, and none of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture
Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

          The term “Issuing Entity” as used in this Class D Note includes any successor to the
Issuing Entity under the Indenture.

          The Issuing Entity is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or
consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the
Indenture.

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

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

          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Class D Note or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuing Entity, which is absolute and

C-5-7

 

unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Class D Note at the times, place
and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee in
their respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity,
nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or
successors or assigns, shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them
for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of
the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Class D Note or the Indenture, it
being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by
the Owner Trustee solely as the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuing Entity. The Holder of
this Class D Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim
against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided,
however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and
enforcement against, the assets of the Issuing Entity for any and all liabilities, obligations and
undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class D Note.

Property.”]

          (c) It is the intention of the Seller and CARI that the transfer and assignment of Receivables

against the Seller under any bankruptcy law.

          (d) The transfer and assignment of Receivables contemplated by this Agreement and the First
Step Receivables Assignment does not constitute and is not intended to result in any assumption by
CARI of any obligation of the Seller to the Obligors, Dealers, insurers or any other Person in
connection with the Receivables, any Dealer Agreements, any insurance policies or any agreement or
instrument relating to any of them.

     SECTION 2.02 Receivables Purchase Price.

Advance Agreement and the amount paid as a capital contribution shall be duly recorded by the

Aggregate Additional Receivables Principal Balance in respect of the Additional Receivables sold on
such date and the Seller shall execute and deliver to CARI a First Step
Additional Receivables Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the

          (a) [Initial Purchase]. The sale and purchase of the [Initial] Receivables shall take place at the offices of
Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 200 East Randolph Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60601, on the [Initial] Closing

as applicable, for such Receivable;

          (b) documents evidencing or related to any Insurance Policy;

          (c) the original credit application of each Obligor, fully executed by each such Obligor on
the Seller’s customary form, or on a form approved by the Seller, for such application;

          (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and
empowered by the Owner of the Receivables, pursuant to this Section 3.01, to execute and
deliver, on behalf of all Interested Parties, or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Receivables and the Financed Vehicles. The Servicer is hereby
authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Owner of such Receivable a legal
proceeding, whether through judicial process or (with respect to repossession of a Financed
Vehicle) non-judicial process, to enforce a Liquidating Receivable as contemplated by Section
3.04, to enforce all obligations of the Seller, the Servicer and CARI under this Agreement and
under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements or to commence or participate in a legal
proceeding (including a bankruptcy case) relating to or involving a Receivable or a Liquidating
Receivable. If the Servicer commences or participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name,
the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner of the Receivables pursuant to this
Section 3.01 to obtain possession of the related Financed Vehicle and immediately and
without further action on the part of the Owner or the Servicer, the Owner of such Receivable shall
thereupon automatically assign in trust such Receivable and the security interest in the related
Financed Vehicle to the Servicer for the benefit of the Interested Parties for purposes of
commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant. Upon such automatic
assignment, the Servicer will be, and will have all the rights and duties of, a
secured party under the UCC and other applicable law with respect to such Receivable and the
related Financed Vehicle. At the Servicer’s request from time to time, the Owner of a Receivable
assigned under this Section 3.01 shall provide the Servicer with evidence of the assignment
in trust for the benefit of the Interested Parties as may be reasonably necessary for the Servicer
to take any of the actions set forth in the following sentence.

          (d) The Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner of a Receivable to execute
and deliver in the Servicer’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits
or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. Any Owner of Receivables
shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other steps
which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements. Except to the extent required by the preceding two sentences, the authority and rights
granted to the Servicer in this Section 3.01 shall be nonexclusive and shall not be
construed to be in derogation of the retention by the Owner of a Receivable of equivalent authority
and rights.

     SECTION 3.02 Collection of Receivable Payments. The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the
terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow
such collection practices, policies and procedures as it follows with respect to comparable motor
vehicle related receivables that it services for itself or others in connection therewith. Except
as provided in Section 3.07(a)(iii), the Servicer is hereby authorized to grant extensions,
rebates or adjustments

 6

 

on a Receivable without the prior consent of the Owner of such Receivable.
The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or
any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing such Receivable.

     SECTION 3.03 [Rebates on Full Prepayments on Scheduled Interest Receivables. If the amount of a full Prepayment by an Obligor under a Scheduled Interest Receivable,
after adjustment for the Rebate, is less than the amount that would be payable under the actuarial
method if a full Prepayment were made at the end of the billing month under such Scheduled Interest
Receivable, either because the Rebate calculated under the terms of such Receivable is greater than
the amount calculable under the actuarial method or because the Servicer’s customary servicing
procedure is to credit a greater Rebate, the Servicer, as part of its servicing duties, shall remit
such difference to the Owner of such Receivable.]

     SECTION 3.04 Realization Upon Liquidating Receivables. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary practices,
policies and procedures, to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Financed
Vehicle that it has reasonably determined should be repossessed or otherwise converted following a
default under the Receivable secured by the Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is authorized to follow
such customary practices, policies and procedures as it follows with respect to comparable motor
vehicle related receivables that it services for itself or others, which
customary practices, policies and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon
any recourse to Dealers, selling the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale and other
actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a Receivable. [The Servicer is hereby
authorized to exercise its discretion consistent with its customary practices, policies and
procedures and the terms of this Agreement, in servicing Liquidating Receivables so as to maximize
the realization of those Liquidating Receivables, including the discretion to choose to sell or not
to sell any of the Liquidating Receivables on behalf of the Depositor or any other Owner. The
Servicer shall not be liable for any such exercise of its discretion to sell or not to sell such
Liquidating Receivables made in good faith.] The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in
any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend
funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it
shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession shall increase the proceeds
of liquidation of the related Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.
The Servicer shall be entitled to receive Liquidation Expenses with respect to each Liquidating
Receivable at such time as the Receivable becomes a Liquidating Receivable (or as may otherwise be
provided in the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements).

     SECTION 3.05 Maintenance of Insurance Policies. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary practices, policies and procedures,
require that each Obligor shall have obtained physical damage insurance covering the Financed
Vehicle as of the execution of the related Receivable. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its
customary practices, policies and procedures, monitor such physical damage insurance with respect
to each Receivable.

     SECTION 3.06 Maintenance of Security Interests in Vehicles. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary practices, policies and procedures and
at its own expense, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security
interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The Owner of each Receivable
hereby authorizes

 7

 

the Servicer to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of such Owner, as
necessary because of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle, or for any other reason.

     SECTION 3.07 Covenants, Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. As of the [Initial Closing Date with respect to the Initial Receivables and as of each
Subsequent Closing Date with respect to the Additional Receivables purchased on each such
Subsequent] Closing Date, the Servicer hereby makes the following representations, warranties and
covenants on which CARI relies in accepting the Receivables hereunder and pursuant to the related
First Step Receivables Assignment, and on which the Issuing Entity shall rely in accepting such
Receivables and executing and delivering the Securities under the Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements.

and Servicing Agreements, the Servicer shall not release in whole or in part any Financed Vehicle

               (ii) No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights or security
interest of CARI or any Interested Party in and to the Purchased Property; and

               (iii) No Modifications. The Servicer shall not amend or otherwise modify any
Receivable such that the Amount Financed, the Annual Percentage Rate, [the total number of
Scheduled Payments (in the case of a Scheduled Interest Receivable)] or the number of originally
scheduled due dates [(in the case of a Simple Interest Receivable)] is altered or such that the
last [Scheduled Payment (in the case of a Scheduled Interest Receivable) or the last] scheduled due
date [(in the case of a Simple Interest Receivable)] occurs after the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date.

          (b) Upon the execution of this Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements,
the Servicer represents and warrants to the Issuing Entity and CARI that as of the [Initial Closing
Date with respect to the Initial Receivables and as of each Subsequent Closing Date with respect to
the Additional Receivables purchased on each such Subsequent] Closing Date, in addition to the
representations and warranties in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 being true [that as of
each such Initial Closing Date or Subsequent Closing Date, as applicable:]

               (i) Organization and Good Standing. The Servicer has been duly formed and is validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of formation, with power and authority to

business is presently conducted, and had at all relevant times, and now has, power, authority and

               (iii) Power and Authority. The Servicer has the power and authority to execute and

obligations of the Servicer enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by general principles of equity,
regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

               (v) No Violation. The consummation by the Servicer of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, and the fulfillment by the
Servicer of the terms hereof and thereof, shall 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 certificate of formation or limited liability
company agreement of the Servicer, or any indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other
instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it is bound, or result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture,

determined by such Owner

 9

 

and, on the related Distribution Date, the Servicer shall pay the
Administrative Purchase Payment[, and shall be entitled to receive the Released Administrative
Amount, if any]. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Servicer to purchase any
Receivable with respect to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such
obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Servicer for such breach available
to CARI or any Interested Party.

     SECTION 3.09 [Basic] [Total] Servicing Fee; Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer. The Servicer is entitled to receive the Basic Servicing Fee [and Supplemental Servicing
Fees ]out of collections in respect of the Receivables and other available funds, as and to the

independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with
distributions and reports to holders of Securities and all other fees and expenses not expressly

the Schedule of Receivables). With respect to any Receivables for which CARI is the Owner, the
Servicer shall deliver to CARI such accountings relating to such Receivables and the actions of the
Servicer with respect thereto as CARI may reasonably request.

     SECTION 3.11 Application of Collections. For the purposes of this Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, no
later than each Distribution Date all collections for the related Monthly Period shall be applied
by the Servicer as follows:

          (a) [With respect to each Scheduled Interest Receivable (other than an Administrative
Receivable or a Warranty Receivable), payments by or on behalf of the Obligor which are not
Supplemental Servicing Fees shall be applied first to reduce outstanding advances of shortfalls in
collections, if any, made pursuant to the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements with respect to
such Receivable. Next, the amount of any such payments in excess of Supplemental Servicing Fees
and any such advances with respect to such Receivable shall be applied to the Scheduled Payment
with respect to such Receivable. Any amount of such

 10

 

payments remaining after the applications
described in the preceding two sentences constitutes an Excess Payment with respect to such
Receivable, and such Excess Payment (to the extent it does not constitute a Payment Ahead) shall be
applied to prepay such Receivable. If the amounts applied under the first two sentences of this
Section 3.11(a) shall be less than the Scheduled Payment, whether as a result of any
extension granted to the Obligor or otherwise, then the Deferred Prepayment, if any, with respect
to such Receivable shall be applied by the Servicer to the extent of the shortfall, and such
Deferred Prepayment shall be reduced accordingly.]

          (b) With respect to all Simple Interest Receivables (other than Administrative Receivables and
Warranty Receivables), payments by or on behalf of the Obligors that are not
Supplemental Servicing Fees shall be applied first to the payment to the Servicer of Excess
Simple Interest Collections, if any, and next to principal and interest on all such Simple Interest
Receivables.

          (c) With respect to each Administrative Receivable and Warranty Receivable, payments by or on
behalf of the Obligor shall be applied in the same manner[, except that any Released Administrative
Amount or Released Warranty Amount shall be remitted to the Servicer or CARI, as applicable. In
the case of a Scheduled Interest Receivable, a Warranty Payment shall be applied to reduce any
advances described] as set forth in Section 3.11(a). A Warranty Payment or an
Administrative Purchase [Payment, as applicable, shall be applied to the Scheduled Payment, in each
case to the extent that the payments by or on behalf of the Obligor shall be insufficient, and then
to prepay such Receivable in full. In the case of a Simple Interest Receivable, a Warranty Payment
or an Administrative] Payment, as applicable, shall be applied to principal and interest on such
Receivable.

and (4) has an Annual Percentage Rate not greater than [20.00]%.

     [In addition, with respect to the Initial Receivables, Scheduled Interest Receivables

Texas Consumer Credit Code, and state adaptations of the National Consumer Act and the Uniform
Consumer Credit Code and other consumer credit laws and equal credit opportunity and disclosure
laws, in respect of any of the Receivables and other Purchased Property, have been complied with in
all material respects, and each Receivable and the sale of the Financed Vehicle evidenced thereby
complied at the time it was originated or made and now complies in all material respects with all
legal requirements of the jurisdiction in which it was originated or made.

          (e) Binding Obligation. Each Receivable represents the genuine, legal, valid and
binding payment obligation in writing of the Obligor thereon, enforceable by the holder thereof in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by
equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law.

          (f) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer
and assignment thereof pursuant hereto and the First Step Receivables Assignment, each Receivable
was secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in
favor of the Seller as secured party or all necessary and appropriate action had been commenced
that would result in the valid perfection of a first priority security interest in the Financed
Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party.

 13

 

          (g) Receivables In Force. No Receivable has been satisfied, subordinated or
rescinded, and the Financed Vehicle securing each such Receivable has not been released from the
lien of the related Receivable in whole or in part.

          (h) No Waiver. Since the [Initial] Cutoff Date [or any Subsequent Cutoff Date, as
applicable,] no provision of a Receivable has been waived, altered or modified in any respect.

          (i) No Defenses. No right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been
asserted or threatened with respect to any Receivable.

          (j) No Liens. To the best of the Seller’s knowledge: (1) there are no liens or

any Receivable that are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security

related thereto is being asserted with respect to any Receivable.

          (k) Insurance. Each Obligor is required to maintain a physical damage insurance
policy of the type that the Seller requires in accordance with its customary underwriting standards
for the purchase of motor vehicle related receivables.

          (l) Good Title. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the
Seller to any Person other than CARI; immediately prior to the conveyance of the Receivables
pursuant to this Agreement and the First Step Receivables Assignment[s], the Seller had good and
marketable title thereto, free of any Lien; and, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by
the Seller, CARI shall have all of the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the
Receivables, the unpaid indebtedness evidenced thereby and the collateral security therefor, free
of any Lien.

          (m) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable was originated in, or is subject to the laws of,
any jurisdiction the laws of which would make unlawful the sale, transfer and assignment of such
Receivable under this Agreement, the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture, as
applicable.

          (n) All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any
jurisdiction to give CARI a first priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables shall
have been made.

          (o) One Original. There is only one original executed copy of each Receivable.

          (p) No Documents or Instruments. No Receivable, or constituent part thereof,
constitutes a “negotiable instrument” or “negotiable document of title” (as such
terms are used in the UCC).

 14

 

          (q) No Amendment. No Receivable has been amended or otherwise modified such that the
[total number of the Obligor’s Scheduled Payments (in the case of a Scheduled Interest Receivable)
or the] number of originally scheduled due dates [(in the case of a Simple Interest Receivable)]
has been increased or such that the Amount Financed has been increased.

ARTICLE V

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

     SECTION 5.01 Conflicts With Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements. To the extent that any provision of Sections 5.02 through 5.04 of this
Agreement conflicts with any provision of the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, the
Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements shall govern.

     SECTION 5.02 Protection of Title.

          (a) Filings. The Seller shall authorize and execute, as applicable, and file such
financing statements and cause to be authorized and executed, as applicable, and filed such
continuation and other statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law
fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of CARI under this Agreement and the First
Step Receivables Assignment in the Receivables and the other Purchased Property and in the proceeds
thereof. The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to CARI file-stamped copies of, or
filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such
filing the Seller hereby authorizes CARI and its assigns to file all such financing statements
without its signature.

          (b) Name Change. The Seller shall not change its state of formation or its name,
identity or entity structure in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement
or continuation statement filed by the Seller, CARI or CARI’s assigns in accordance with
Section 5.02(a) seriously misleading within the meaning of the UCC, unless it shall have
given CARI at least sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof.

 17

 

          (c) Executive Office; Maintenance of Offices. The Seller shall give CARI at least
sixty (60) days prior written notice of any relocation of its principal executive office if, as a
result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any
amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing
statement. The Seller shall at all times maintain each office from which it services
Receivables and its principal executive office within the United States of America.

          (d) New Debtor. In the event that the Seller shall change the jurisdiction in which
it is formed or otherwise enter into any transaction which would result in a “new debtor”
(as defined in the UCC) succeeding to the obligations of the Seller hereunder, the Seller shall
comply fully with the obligations of Section 5.02(a).

     SECTION 5.03 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder and under the First Step Receivables Assignment and as
contemplated by the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, the Seller shall not sell, pledge,
assign or transfer the Receivables or other Purchased Property to any other Person, or grant,
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any interest therein, and the Seller shall
defend the right, title and interest of CARI in, to and under such Receivables or other Purchased
Property against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.

     SECTION 5.04 Repurchase Events. By its execution of the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements to which it is a party,
the Seller shall acknowledge the assignment by CARI of such of its right, title and interest in, to
and under this Agreement and the First Step Receivables Assignment to the Issuing Entity as shall
be provided in the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements. The Seller hereby covenants and
agrees with CARI for the benefit of CARI and the Interested Parties that in the event of a breach
of any of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 hereof with
respect to any Receivable (a “Repurchase Event”), the Seller will repurchase such
Receivable from the Issuing Entity (if the Issuing Entity is then the Owner of such Receivable) on
the date and for the amount specified in the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, without
further notice from CARI hereunder. Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event with respect to a
Receivable for which CARI is the Owner, the Seller agrees to repurchase such Receivable from CARI
for an amount and upon the same terms as the Seller would be obligated to repurchase such
Receivable from the Issuing Entity if the Issuing Entity was then the Owner thereof, and upon
payment of such amount, the Seller shall have such rights with respect to such Receivable as if the
Seller had purchased such Receivable from the Issuing Entity as the Owner thereof. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to repurchase any Receivable as to which a
breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole
remedy against the Seller for such breach available to CARI or any Interested Party.

     SECTION 5.05 Indemnification. The Seller shall indemnify CARI for any liability as a result of the failure of a
Receivable to be originated in compliance with all requirements of law. This indemnity obligation
shall be in addition to any obligation that the Seller may otherwise have.

     SECTION 5.06 Further Assignments. The Seller acknowledges that CARI may, pursuant to the Further
Transfer and Servicing
Agreements, sell the Receivables to the Issuing

 18

 

Entity and assign its rights hereunder and under
the First Step Receivables Assignment to the Issuing Entity, subject to the terms and conditions of
the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, and that the Issuing Entity may in turn further
pledge, assign or transfer its rights in the Receivables and this Agreement and the First Step
Receivables Assignment. The Seller further acknowledges that CARI may assign its rights under the
Custodian Agreement to the Issuing Entity.

     SECTION 5.07 Pre-Closing Collections. Within two (2) Business Days after the [Initial] Closing Date [and each Subsequent Closing
Date,] the Seller shall transfer to the account or accounts designated by CARI (or by the Issuing
Entity under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements) all collections on the Receivables held
by the Seller on the [Initial] Closing Date [or Subsequent Closing Date, as applicable], and
conveyed to CARI pursuant to Section 2.01; provided that so long as the Monthly Remittance

Servicing Agreement and the Indenture create a valid and continuing security interest (as

enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller, CARI and the

property securing the Purchased Property have been taken.
