(b)

Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business shall require such qualifications, licenses and approvals, except where the failure to have such qualifications, licenses and approvals would not have a material adverse effect on the Depositor.

(c)

Depositor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms and Depositor has full power and authority to sell and assign the property to be sold and assigned to and deposited with Issuer, and Depositor has duly authorized such sale and assignment and deposit to Issuer by all necessary corporate action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by Depositor by all necessary corporate action.

(d)

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

(e)

There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the Depositor’s best knowledge, threatened before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, the Indenture, any of the other Basic Documents, the Notes or the Certificates, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the Certificates or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Indenture or any of the other Basic Documents, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor or its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or (iv) which might adversely affect the federal income tax attributes, or applicable state tax franchise or income tax attributes, of the Notes and the Certificates.

SECTION 2.11.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS.  

(a)

Treatment of Notes as Indebtedness.  The Seller, the Owner Trustee and each Certificateholder intend and agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes and for purposes of applicable state or local income taxes, franchise taxes, and any other taxes imposed upon or measured by net income.

(b)

Allocations.  Net income of the Trust for any month as determined for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss, credit and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated:

(i)

for so long as all of the Certificates are owned by one Person, the Trust shall be disregarded as an entity separate from that Person such that net income of the Trust for any month as determined solely for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss, credit and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated to that Person and treated in the same manner as if the Trust were a division or branch of that Person; and

(ii)

in the event that there is a transfer (as such term is defined for federal income tax purposes) of any Certificates and there is more than one owner of Certificates for federal income tax purposes, net income of the Trust for any month as determined solely for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss, credit and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated pro rata to the Certificateholders based on their Certificate Balance.

(c)

Tax Treatment.  Notwithstanding the above, if any Class of Notes is deemed for federal income tax purposes (or for purposes of any state, local, or other income tax, franchise tax or other tax imposed upon or measured by net income) to represent an equity interest in the Issuer, it is the intent and agreement of the parties hereto that the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by law, be treated for purposes of any such tax which treats Notes in such manner as a partnership among the affected Class of Noteholders and the Certificateholder.  In the event such a partnership is deemed to exist, the net income of the Issuer for any month as determined for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated in such manner as to cause to the greatest extent possible the Certificateholder and each Noteholder to recognize net taxable income or loss at such time, and in such amounts, as each such person would have recognized such income or loss if such Notes had not been recharacterized as an equity interest in the Issuer.  

ARTICLE III

CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

SECTION 3.1.

INITIAL OWNERSHIP.  Upon the formation of Issuer by Depositor pursuant to the Original Trust Agreement and until the issuance of the Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust.

SECTION 3.2.

THE CERTIFICATES.  The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of Issuer by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee shall have the power and authority and it is hereby authorized and empowered, in the name and on behalf of the Trust, to authorize, execute, issue and deliver the Certificates.  Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of Issuer, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificates.  If a transfer of the Certificates is permitted pursuant to Section 3.11, a transferee of a Certificate shall become a Certificateholder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such transferee’s acceptance of a Certificate duly registered in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.4.  Certificates shall be issued substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, in minimum denominations of $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (except for one Certificate which may be issued in a denomination other than an integral multiple of $1,000,000).

SECTION 3.3.

AUTHENTICATION OF CERTIFICATES.  Concurrently with the initial sale of the Receivables to Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificates in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Initial Certificate Balance to be executed on behalf of Issuer, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board, its president, its chief financial officer, its chief accounting officer, any vice president, its secretary, any assistant secretary, its treasurer or any assistant treasurer, without further corporate action by Depositor.  No Certificate shall entitle its Holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by Owner Trustee by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.  All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

SECTION 3.4.

REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.

(a)

Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.  Wilmington Trust Company shall be the initial Certificate Registrar.  No Certificate may be sold, transferred, assigned, participated, pledged, or otherwise disposed of to any Person except in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.11 and any attempted transfer in violation of Section 3.11 shall be null and void.

(b)

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, and upon compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to such transfer, Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like class and Certificate Balance dated the date of authentication by Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent.  At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same class in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8.

(c)

Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to Owner Trustee and Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange, a commercial bank or trust company or an “eligible guarantor institution” with membership or participation in STAMP or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by Certificate Registrar in addition to, or substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act.  Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by Owner Trustee or Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice.

(d)

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

(e)

The preceding provisions of this Section 3.4 notwithstanding, Owner Trustee shall not make and the Certificate Registrar need not register any transfer or exchange of Certificates for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding any Payment Date for any payment with respect to the Certificates.

SECTION 3.5.

MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES.  If (a) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to Certificate Registrar, or if Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to Certificate Registrar and Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a protected purchaser, Owner Trustee on behalf of Issuer shall execute and Owner Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like class, tenor and Certificate Balance.  In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, Owner Trustee or Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.  Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in Issuer, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 3.6.

PERSONS DEEMED CERTIFICATEHOLDERS.  Every Person by virtue of becoming a Certificateholder in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.  Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, Owner Trustee, Certificate Registrar or any agent of Owner Trustee or Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.2 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of Owner Trustee, Certificate Registrar or any agent of Owner Trustee or Certificate Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.7.

ACCESS TO LIST OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS’ NAMES AND ADDRESSES.  Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Master Servicer, Depositor or Indenture Trustee, within 15 days after receipt by Owner Trustee of a request therefor from Master Servicer, Depositor or Indenture Trustee in writing, a list, in such form as Master Servicer, Depositor or Indenture Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date.  If Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Certificate Balance, apply in writing to Certificate Registrar, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of Certificateholders.  Each Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold Depositor, Certificate Registrar or Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

SECTION 3.8.

MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.  Certificate Registrar shall maintain in Wilmington, Delaware, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served.  Certificate Registrar initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Owner Trustee, as its principal corporate trust office for such purposes.  Certificate Registrar shall give prompt written notice to Depositor and to the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.  

SECTION 3.9.

APPOINTMENT OF PAYING AGENT.  Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.2 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to Owner Trustee; provided that this reporting shall not be required if the Owner Trustee is serving as Paying Agent.  Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above.  Owner Trustee may revoke such power and remove Paying Agent if Owner Trustee determines in its sole discretion that Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.  Paying Agent shall initially be JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and any co-paying agent chosen by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and acceptable to Owner Trustee.  Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign upon 30 days’ written notice to Owner Trustee and Master Servicer.  In the event that JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., shall no longer be Paying Agent, Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company).  Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with Owner Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders.  Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to Owner Trustee.  The provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.3, 7.4 and 8.1 shall apply to Owner Trustee in its role as Paying Agent, in the event that Owner Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder.  Any reference in this Agreement to Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

SECTION 3.10.

FORM OF THE CERTIFICATES.  The Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of a typewritten Certificate or Certificates representing definitive Certificates and shall be registered in the name of Wells Fargo Financial Receivables, LLC as the initial registered owner thereof.  Owner Trustee shall execute and authenticate, or cause to be authenticated, the definitive Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Depositor.  Neither Certificate Registrar nor Owner 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 Certificates, the Owner Trustee and each Paying Agent shall recognize the Holders of the Certificates as Certificateholders.  The Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Owner Trustee, as evidenced by its execution thereof.

SECTION 3.11.

TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.

(a)

No Certificate may be resold, assigned or transferred (including by pledge or hypothecation) other than the initial registration of the Certificates in the name of Wells Fargo Financial Receivables, LLC unless such resale, assignment or transfer is (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, (ii) pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) or (iii) pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and subject to the receipt by the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor of (A) a certification by both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee of the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor and (B) an opinion of counsel (which shall not be at the expense of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee), satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar, to the effect that the transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, and, in each case, in compliance with any applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any state of the United States.  In addition, each transferee shall provide to the Certificate Registrar its tax identification number, address, nominee name (if applicable) and wire transfer instructions.  Prior to any resale, assignment or transfer of the Certificates described in clause (ii) above, each prospective purchaser of the Certificates shall have acknowledged, represented and agreed as follows:

(i)

It is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A (“QIB”) and is acquiring the Certificates for its own institutional account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs).

(ii)

It acknowledges that the Certificates have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

(iii)

It is familiar with Rule 144A and is aware that the sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and it is not acquiring the Certificates with a view to, or for resale in connection with, a distribution that would constitute a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act or a violation of the Securities Act, and that, if in the future it decides to resell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any Certificates, such Certificates may be resold, assigned, pledged or transferred only (A) to the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof, (B) so long as such Certificate is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person whom it reasonably believes after due inquiry is a QIB acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs) to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge, assignment or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (C) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (D) in a sale, pledge or other transfer made in a transaction otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case (1) the Certificate Registrar shall require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor and (2) the Certificate Registrar shall require a written opinion of counsel (which will not be at the expense of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee) satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any state of the United States.

(iv)

Each transferor of the Certificates shall be required to execute or to have executed a representation letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B, and each transferee (other than the initial transferee) shall be required to execute or to have executed a representation letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C, or each may deliver such other representations (or an opinion of counsel) as may be approved by the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, to the effect that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws.

In addition, such prospective purchaser shall be responsible for providing additional information or certification, as shall be reasonably requested by the Owner Trustee or the Depositor, to support the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements, it being understood that such additional information is not intended to create additional restrictions on the transfer of the Certificates.

SECTION 4.4.

RESTRICTIONS ON CERTIFICATEHOLDERS’ POWER.

APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES

SECTION 5.1.

ESTABLISHMENT OF CERTIFICATE DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT.  Owner Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of Issuer an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Certificate Distribution Account”), at the office of the Paying Agent, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

SECTION 5.2.

APPLICATION OF FUNDS IN CERTIFICATE DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT.  

(a)

On each Payment Date, Owner Trustee shall, or shall cause Paying Agent to, based on the information contained in Master Servicer’s Report delivered on the related Determination Date pursuant to Section 4.9 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, distribute to Certificateholders, as of the related Record Date, all amounts deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement on such Payment Date based upon each Certificateholder’s Certificate Balance.

(b)

On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall send, or cause to be sent, to each Certificateholder the statement provided to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement on such Payment Date.

(c)

In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s payment (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder in accordance with this Section. The Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by Issuer (but such authorization shall not prevent the Paying Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings).  The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by Issuer and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.  If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-United States Certificateholder), the Paying Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this clause (c).  In the event that a Certificateholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Paying Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Paying Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

SECTION 5.3.

METHOD OF PAYMENT.  Subject to Section 9.1(c), distributions required to be made to Certificateholders on any Payment Date shall be made to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (a) such Certificateholder shall have provided to Paying Agent appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Dates or (b) such Certificateholder is the initial Certificateholder, or an Affiliate thereof, or, if not, by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office or agency maintained for that purpose by Certificate Registrar pursuant to Section 3.8.

SECTION 5.4.

NO SEGREGATION OF MONIES; NO INTEREST.  Subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, monies received by Owner Trustee or any Paying Agent hereunder need not be segregated in any manner except to the extent required by law or the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement and may be deposited under such general conditions as may be prescribed by law, and neither Owner Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be liable for any interest thereon.

SECTION 5.5.

ACCOUNTING AND REPORTS TO THE NOTEHOLDERS, CERTIFICATEHOLDERS, THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND OTHERS.  Subject to Section 6.2, (a) the Owner Trustee shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of Issuer on a calendar year basis on the accrual method of accounting, (b) the Paying Agent shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to each Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, such information as may be required (including, if applicable, Form 1065 Schedule K-1) to enable each Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns, (c) the Paying Agent shall prepare and file such tax returns relating to Issuer (including a partnership information return, Form 1065, if applicable), and make such elections as may from time to time be required or appropriate under any applicable state or federal statute or rule or regulation thereunder so as to maintain the Issuer’s characterization as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, (d) the Issuer shall cause such tax returns to be signed in the manner required by law and (e) collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with Section 5.2(c) with respect to income or distributions to Certificateholders.  The Owner Trustee shall cooperate with the Depositor and the Paying Agent, as the case may be, in making all elections pursuant to this Section as directed in writing by the Depositor.  Unless a majority of the Certificateholders advises otherwise, in the event the Issuer is characterized as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, the Issuer on its return shall elect under Section 1278 of the Code to include in income currently any market discount that accrues with respect to the Receivables and shall elect under Section 171 of the Code to amortize any bond premium with respect to the Receivables.  The Owner Trustee shall not make the election provided under Section 754 of the Code.  None of the parties hereto shall make the election provided in Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701 3(c) to have the Issuer classified as an association taxable as a corporation.

SECTION 5.6.

SIGNATURE ON RETURNS; TAX MATTERS PARTNER.  Administrator shall sign on behalf of the Issuer the tax returns of Issuer, unless applicable law requires Owner Trustee to sign such documents, in which case such documents shall be signed by Owner Trustee at the written direction of Issuer (with no obligation on the part of the Owner Trustee to investigate or verify the accuracy or completeness thereof).

It shall be the duty of Owner Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and to administer Issuer in the interest of Certificateholders, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Basic Documents to the extent Administrator has agreed in the Administration Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of Owner Trustee or Issuer hereunder or under any Basic Document, and Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or failure of Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Administration Agreement.

(c)

Whenever Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any Basic Document or is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholders requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted or application of such provision, and to the extent Owner Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Certificateholders received, Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action or inaction to any Person. If the Owner Trustee receives two or more sets of conflicting instructions, the Owner Trustee shall act on the instructions from the group of Certificateholders holding the largest Certificate Balance. If Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

SECTION 6.4.

NO DUTIES EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN INSTRUCTIONS.  Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Owner Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any Basic Document against Owner Trustee.

SECTION 6.5.

SECTION 6.6.

RESTRICTIONS. Owner Trustee shall not take any action (a) that is inconsistent with the purposes of Issuer set forth in Section 2.3 or (b) that, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee, would (i) affect the treatment of the Notes as indebtedness for federal income, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, (ii) be deemed to cause a taxable exchange of the Notes for federal income or state income or franchise tax purposes or (iii) cause Issuer or any portion thereof to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income, state and local income or franchise tax purposes.

If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.2.

SECTION 10.2.

RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF OWNER TRUSTEE. Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to Administrator. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee which satisfies the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 10.1 by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee; provided, however, that such right to appoint or to petition for the appointment of any such successor shall in no event relieve the resigning Owner Trustee from any obligations otherwise imposed on it under the Basic Documents until such successor has in fact assumed such appointment.

If at any time Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by Administrator, or if at any time Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then Administrator may remove Owner Trustee. If Administrator shall remove Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee and payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.3 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. Depositor shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

SECTION 10.3.

SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEE. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1.

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

SECTION 10.4.

MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF OWNER TRUSTEE. Any corporation into which Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of Owner Trustee, shall, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, be the successor of Owner Trustee hereunder; provided that such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1; and provided further that Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies.

SECTION 10.5.

APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located, Administrator and Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to Issuer, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as Administrator and Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 10.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.3.

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

(i)

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

(ii)

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

(iii)

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

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

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

THE PRINCIPAL OF THIS CERTIFICATE IS PAYABLE IN INSTALLMENTS AS SET FORTH IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT REFERRED TO BELOW.  ACCORDINGLY, THE OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS CERTIFICATE AT ANY TIME MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNT SHOWN ON THE FACE HEREOF.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [_________] is the registered owner of FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY SIX MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTEEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY SEVEN dollars principal amount of Asset-Backed Certificates that is nonassessable, fully-paid, beneficial interest in certain distributions of WELLS FARGO FINANCIAL AUTO OWNER TRUST 2005-A (“Issuer”) formed by ACE Securities Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Depositor”).

Issuer was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of May 31, 2005 (the “Short-Form Trust Agreement”), between Depositor and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (“Owner Trustee”), as amended and restated by an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated as of June 16, 2005 (the “Amended and Restated Trust Agreement” and, together with the Short-Form Trust Agreement, the “Trust Agreement”) between Depositor and Owner Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in Appendix X to the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 31, 2005 (the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”) among Issuer, ACE Securities Corp., as Seller (“Seller”), Wells Fargo Financial, Inc., as Master Servicer (“Master Servicer”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Indenture Trustee (“Indenture Trustee”), as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time.

This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as Wells Fargo Financial Auto Owner Trust 2005-A Asset Backed Certificates (herein called the “Certificates”). Also issued under the Indenture dated as of May 31, 2005, between Issuer and Indenture Trustee, are the classes of Notes designated as 3.39% Class A-1 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-1 Notes”), 3.86% Class A-2 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-2 Notes”), 4.09% Class A-3 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-3 Notes”), 4.28% Class A-4 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-4 Notes” and, together with the Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes and Class A-3 Notes, the “Notes”). This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound.

Under the Trust Agreement, there will be distributed on the 15th day of each month (or, if such 15th day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), commencing on July 15, 2005, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day of the preceding month, such Certificateholder’s Certificate Balance in the amount to be distributed to Certificateholders on such date.

The holder of this Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive distributions in respect of this Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders as described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, as applicable.

It is the intent of the Seller, the Owner Trustee and the Certificateholders that, for purposes of federal income taxes, and to the extent permitted by law, for purposes of applicable state income or franchise tax, the Trust will be disregarded as an entity apart from its owner if there is only one owner for federal income tax purposes, or, if there is more than one owner for federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a partnership the partners of which are the Certificateholders; provided, however, that if any Class of Notes is deemed for federal income tax purposes (or for purposes of any state, local or other income tax, franchise tax or other tax imposed upon or measured by net income) to represent an equity interest in the Trust, it is the intent and agreement of the parties hereto that the Trust shall, to the extent permitted by law, be treated for purposes of any such tax which treats Notes in such manner as a partnership among the affected Class of Noteholders and the Certificateholder.  The Certificateholders by acceptance of a Certificate, agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Trust and the Certificates for such tax purposes as just described.

Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, represents that (i) it has neither acquired nor will it transfer the Certificate or cause the Certificate to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code or a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(2) of the Code, including, without limitation, an over the counter market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations; (ii) it either (A) is not, and will not become a partnership, S corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (B) is such an entity, but none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in such transferee have allowed or caused, or will allow or cause, fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of such interests to be attributable to such transferee’s ownership of the Certificate; and (iii) it understands that tax counsel to the Issuer has provided an opinion substantially to the effect that the Issuer will not be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that the validity of such opinion is dependent in part on the accuracy of the representations in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above.  Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not at any time institute against Depositor or the Issuer, or join in or encourage any institution against Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Certificates, the Notes, the Trust Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.

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

The Certificates may not be acquired by or for the account of or with the assets of (a) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title 1 of ERISA, (b) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or (c) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan’s investment in the entity (each, a “Benefit Plan”). By accepting and holding this Certificate, the Holder hereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan and is not purchasing on behalf of a Benefit Plan.

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

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

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Owner Trustee on behalf of Issuer and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

Attention:  Worldwide Securities Services/Global Debt

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our proposed sale of the Asset Backed Certificates (the “Certificate”) of Wells Fargo Financial Auto Owner Trust 2005-A (the “Issuer”), a Delaware statutory trust formed by ACE Securities Corp. (the “Depositor” or “Seller”), we confirm that:

(a)

The Transferor is the lawful owner of the Certificate with the full right to transfer the Certificate free from any and all claims and encumbrances whatsoever.

(b)

Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the Certificates, any interest in the Certificate or any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Certificate, any interest in the Certificate or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Certificate, any interest in the Certificate or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation with respect to the Certificate, any interest in the Certificate or any other similar security be means of general advertising or in any manner, or (e) taken any other action with respect to the Certificate, any interest in the Certificate or any other similar security, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) hereof) would constitute a distribution under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), or would render the disposition of the Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or would require registration or qualification of the Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

(c)

The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is either (a) a “qualified institutional buyer” (as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act) purchasing for its own account or (b) either (i) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of paragraph (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act or (ii) an entity in which all the equity owners are “accredited investors” within the meaning of paragraph (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Certificate.

(d)

Unless the Transferee is either (a) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act or (b) an entity in which all the equity owners are “accredited investors” within the meaning of paragraph (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act that is furnishing a Transferee Certificate in the form of Exhibit C to the Trust Agreement, the Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the Transferee is aware that the Transferor is relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.

(e)

The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has furnished, or caused to be furnished, to the Transferee all information regarding (a) the Certificates and distributions thereon, (b) the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and (c) any credit enhancement mechanism associated with the Certificates, that the Transferee has requested.

Very truly yours,

Attention:  Worldwide Securities Services/Global Debt

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our proposed purchase of the 100% Asset Backed Certificates (the “Certificates”) of Wells Fargo Financial Auto Owner Trust 2005-A (the “Issuer”), a Delaware statutory trust formed by ACE Securities Corp. (the “Depositor” or “Seller”), we confirm that:

(a) We are a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A (“QIB”) and are acquiring the Certificate for its own institutional account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs);

(b) We acknowledge that the Certificates have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any jurisdiction; 

(c) We are familiar with Rule 144A and are aware that the sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and we are not acquiring the Certificates with a view to, or for resale in connection with, a distribution that would constitute a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act or a violation of the Securities Act, and that, if in the future we decide to resell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any Certificates, such Certificates may be resold, assigned, pledged or transferred only (i) to the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof, (ii) so long as such Certificate is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person whom we reasonably believe after due inquiry is a QIB acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs) to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge, assignment or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (iv) in a sale, pledge or other transfer made in a transaction otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case (A) the Owner Trustee will require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor and (B) the Owner Trustee will require a written opinion of counsel (which will not be at the expense of the Depositor or the Owner Trustee) satisfactory to the Depositor and the Owner Trustee to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any state of the United States; 

(d) No Certificate may be acquired by or for the account of (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) that is subject to the provisions of Title 1 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 such plan’s investment in the entity (each, a “Benefit Plan”).  Each Person who acquires any Certificate or interest therein will certify that the foregoing conditions are satisfied;

(e) We are aware that we (or any account for which we are purchasing) may be required to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Certificates for an indefinite period, and we (or such account) are able to bear such risk for an indefinite period;

(f) We understand that the Certificates will bear legends substantially as set forth in Section 3.12 of the Trust Agreement; 

(g) If we are acquiring any Certificates for the account of one or more qualified institutional buyers, we represent that we have sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and that we have full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements on behalf of each such account;

(h) We acknowledge that the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, and their Affiliates, and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements; and

(i) We acknowledge that we have been notified of the transfer restrictions and related provisions applicable to the Certificates set forth in the Trust Agreement and agree to be bound by such restrictions and provisions.

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

Very truly yours,

Issuer hereby Grants to Indenture Trustee at the Closing Date, as Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, all of Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to: (a) the Receivables, and all monies received thereon after the Cutoff Date; (b) the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and any other interest of Issuer in the Financed Vehicles and any other property that shall secure the Receivables; (c) any proceeds with respect to the Receivables from claims on any Insurance Policies covering Financed Vehicles or Obligors or from claims under any lender’s single interest insurance policy naming any Originator as an insured; (d) any proceeds with respect to (i) any Receivable repurchased by a Dealer, pursuant to a Dealer Agreement, as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty in the related Dealer Agreement, (ii) a default by an Obligor resulting in the repossession of the Financed Vehicle or (iii) any Dealer Recourse and other rights under Dealer Agreements; (e) any instrument or document relating to the Receivables; (f) all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all investments and proceeds thereof (including the Reserve Account Property); (g) the Issuer’s rights under the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and (h) all present and future claims, demands, causes and choses in action in respect of any or all of the foregoing and all payments on or under and all proceeds of every kind and nature whatsoever in respect of any or all of the foregoing, including all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, into cash or other liquid property, all cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, rights to payment of any and every kind and other forms of obligations and receivables, instruments and other property which at any time constitute all or part of or are included in the proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”).

Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.

(b)

The Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

(c)

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-4 are part of the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.2.  EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

(a)

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of Issuer shall bind Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

(b)

Indenture Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall upon Issuer Order authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $230,000,000, Class A-2 Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of $310,000,000, Class A-3 Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of $285,000,000 and Class A-4 Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of $175,000,000.

(d)

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 provided for herein executed by Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and 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, Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order, Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, 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 not inconsistent 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, Issuer will 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 office or agency of Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without charge to the Holder.

Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

SECTION 2.4.  REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

(a)

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

(b)

If a Person other than Indenture Trustee is appointed by Issuer as Note Registrar, Issuer will give 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, and Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and Indenture Trustee shall have the right to conclusively rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

(c)

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the UCC are met, Issuer shall execute and upon its written request Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same Class and a like aggregate principal amount.

(d)

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in any authorized denominations, of the same Class and a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the UCC are met Issuer shall execute and upon its written request Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from Indenture Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(e)

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of Issuer, 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 (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in a Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“Stamp”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, Stamp, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as Indenture Trustee may require.

(g)

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but Issuer 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)

The preceding provisions of this section notwithstanding, Issuer shall not be required to make and Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Note.

(i)

No Note, or any interest therein, may be transferred to an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to ERISA, a “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, any entity that is deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s investment in such entity, or any plan subject to applicable law that is substantially similar to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”), unless such transferee represents, warrants and covenants that its purchase and holding of such Note is and will be eligible for, and satisfies and will satisfy all the requirements of, Department of Labor prohibited transaction class exemption (“PTE”) 90-1; PTE 96-23; PTE 95-60: PTE 91-38; PTE 84-14 or another applicable prohibited transaction exemption and will not cause a non-exempt violation of Similar Law. By its acquisition of a Note or any interest therein, each transferee will be deemed to have represented, warranted and covenanted that it satisfies the foregoing requirements and the Indenture Trustee may rely conclusively on the same for purposes hereof.

SECTION 2.5.  MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN NOTES.

(a)

If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to Indenture Trustee, or Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold Issuer and Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to Issuer, Note Registrar or Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, Issuer shall execute and upon its written request Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, Issuer may upon delivery of the security or indemnity herein required pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, Issuer and Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by Issuer or Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

(b)

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

(c)

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

(d)

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

SECTION 2.6.  PERSONS DEEMED OWNER. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, Issuer, Indenture Trustee and any agent of Issuer or Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither Issuer, Indenture Trustee nor any agent of Issuer or Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.3.

(b)

The principal of each Note shall be payable on each Payment Date as provided in the forms of the Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes, set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-4, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 and, in such event, all principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto. Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2.

(c)

If Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, Issuer shall pay such defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable Note Interest Rate on the Payment Date following such default. The Issuer shall pay such defaulted interest to the Holders of Notes on the Record Date for such following Payment Date.

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

SECTION 2.9.  RELEASE OF COLLATERAL. Subject to Section 11.1, Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture only in accordance with the Basic Documents and upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1) or an Opinion of Counsel in lieu of such Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does not require any such Independent Certificates. If the Commission shall issue an exemptive order under TIA Section 304(d) modifying Indenture Trustee’s obligations under TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1), subject to Section 11.1 and the terms of the Basic Documents, Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture in accordance with the conditions and procedures set forth in such exemptive order.

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

(a)

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

(b)

Note Registrar and 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 the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Holder of the Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners;

(c)

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

(d)

the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants or Persons acting through Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.12, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; 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 Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants or Persons acting through Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to 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, Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners.

SECTION 2.12.  DEFINITIVE NOTES.  If (a) Seller advises Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes that are Book-Entry Notes, and Seller is unable to locate a qualified successor or (b) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Note Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes that are Book-Entry Notes advise Indenture Trustee through the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the related Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all related Note Owners and 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 Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, Issuer shall execute and Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of Issuer, Note Registrar or 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 such Definitive Notes, Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

SECTION 2.13.  AUTHENTICATING AGENTS.

(a)

The Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more Persons (each, an “Authenticating Agent”) with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 9.6, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes “by the Indenture Trustee.”

(b)

Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.

(c)

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee. Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and Owner Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, Indenture Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of any such appointment to Owner Trustee.

(d)

The Administrator agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent (other than the Indenture Trustee) from time to time reasonable compensation for its services as agreed upon between the Authenticating Agent and the Administrative Agent. The provisions of Sections 2.8 and Article VI of this Indenture and Section 4.16(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

SECTION 2.14.  TAX TREATMENT. Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes shall be issued, with the intention that, for United States federal, state and local income, excise, privilege and franchise tax purposes, the Notes shall qualify as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in an applicable Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness.

SECTION 2.15.  PAYING AGENTS.

(a)

The Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more Paying Agents with the power to make payments to and distributions from the Trust Accounts and the Reserve Account.

(b)

Any corporation into which any Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Paying Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of any Paying Agent shall be the successor of such Paying Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Paying Agent or such successor corporation.

(c)

Any Paying Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to Indenture Trustee and Administrator. Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Paying Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Paying Agent. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, Indenture Trustee may appoint a successor Paying Agent and shall give written notice of any such appointment to Administrator.

(d)

The Indenture Trustee agrees to pay to each Paying Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services as agreed upon between the Paying Agent and the Indenture Trustee. The provisions of Article VI and Section 4.16(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be applicable to any Paying Agent.

ARTICLE III

COVENANTS

SECTION 3.1.  PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. Issuer will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 8.2(c), Issuer will cause to be distributed all amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account on a Payment Date deposited therein pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid by Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

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

SECTION 3.3.  MONEY FOR PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.

(a)

As provided in Section 8.2, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account and the Note Distribution Account pursuant to Section 8.2(c) shall be made on behalf of Issuer by Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the Collection Account and the Note Distribution Account for payments of Notes shall be paid over to Issuer except as provided in this Section.

(b)

On or before one Business Day prior to each Payment Date and Redemption Date, Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Note Distribution Account an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless the Paying Agent is Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify Indenture Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

(c)

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

(i)

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

(ii)

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

(iii)

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

(iv)

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

(v)

comply with all requirements of the Code and any State or local tax law with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

(d)

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

(e)

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

SECTION 3.4.  EXISTENCE. Except as otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 3.10, Issuer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States of America, in which case Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

SECTION 3.5.  PROTECTION OF TRUST ESTATE. Issuer will from time to time prepare (or shall cause to be prepared), execute, deliver and file all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:

(a)

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

(b)

maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) of this Indenture or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

(c)

perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture;

(d)

enforce any of the Collateral; or

(e)

preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the rights of Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in such Trust Estate against the claims of all persons and parties.

Issuer hereby designates Indenture Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required by Issuer pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 3.6.  OPINIONS AS TO TRUST ESTATE.

(a)

On the Closing Date, Issuer shall furnish to Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as are necessary to perfect and make effective the lien and security interest of this Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and security interest effective.

(b)

Within 120 days after the beginning of each calendar year, beginning with the first calendar year beginning more than three months after the Cutoff Date, Issuer shall furnish to Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements as are necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by this Indenture and reciting the details of such action or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture until June 30 in the following calendar year.

SECTION 3.7.  PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS; SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES.

(a)

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

(b)

Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by Issuer. Initially, Issuer has contracted with Master Servicer and the Administrator to assist Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

(c)

Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the Basic Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate, including but not limited to preparing (or causing to prepared) and filing (or causing to be filed) all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Basic Document or any provision thereof without the consent of Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

(d)

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

(e)

As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to Master Servicer of Master Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Master Servicer’s resignation in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall appoint a successor master servicer (the “Successor Master Servicer”), and such Successor Master Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Master Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its appointment at the time when Master Servicer ceases to act as Master Servicer, Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Master Servicer. Indenture Trustee may resign as Master Servicer by giving written notice of such resignation to Issuer and in such event will be released from such duties and obligations, such release not to be effective until the date a new master servicer enters into a servicing agreement with Issuer as provided below. Upon delivery of any such notice to Issuer, Issuer shall obtain a new master servicer as the Successor Master Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Any Successor Master Servicer other than Indenture Trustee shall (i) be an established financial institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of motor vehicle loans and (ii) enter into a servicing agreement with Issuer having substantially the same provisions as the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement applicable to Master Servicer. If within 30 days after the delivery of the notice referred to above, Issuer shall not have obtained such a new master servicer, Indenture Trustee may appoint, or may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Successor Master Servicer. In connection with any such appointment, Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as it and such successor shall agree, subject to the limitations set forth below and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Issuer shall enter into an agreement with such successor for the servicing of the Receivables (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to Indenture Trustee). If Indenture Trustee shall succeed to Master Servicer’s duties as master servicer of the Receivables as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI shall be inapplicable to Indenture Trustee in its duties as the successor to Master Servicer and the servicing of the Receivables. In the case that Indenture Trustee becomes successor to Master Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Master Servicer any one of its Affiliates, or delegate any of its responsibilities as Master Servicer to agents, subject to the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any Successor Master Servicer to act as Successor Master Servicer under this Indenture and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.

(f)

Upon any termination of Master Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, Issuer shall promptly notify Indenture Trustee. As soon as a Successor Master Servicer (other than Indenture Trustee) is appointed, Issuer shall notify Indenture Trustee of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and address of such Successor Master Servicer.

(g)

Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment granted to Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the rights of Indenture Trustee hereunder, Issuer agrees that, unless such action is specifically permitted hereunder or under the Basic Documents, it will not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes, amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate or surrender, or agree to any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any Collateral or the Basic Documents, or waive timely performance or observance by Master Servicer or Seller under the Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided that no such amendment shall (i) except for amendments and modifications of the Receivables permitted under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all the Outstanding Notes. If any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be so consented to by Indenture Trustee or such Holders, Issuer agrees, promptly following a request by Indenture Trustee to do so, to execute and deliver, in its own name or that of its counsel and at its own expense, such opinions, certificates, agreements, instruments, consents and other documents as Indenture Trustee may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances, including, but not limited to, an opinion that such action is authorized and permitted by this Indenture.

SECTION 3.8.  NEGATIVE COVENANTS. So long as any Notes are Outstanding, Issuer shall not:

(a)

except as expressly permitted by this Indenture or the Basic Documents, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the properties or assets of Issuer, including those included in the Trust Estate, unless directed to do so by Indenture Trustee;

(b)

claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the principal or interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other than amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code) or assert any claim against any present or former Noteholder by reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon any part of the Trust Estate;

(c)

dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part; or

(d)

(i) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien of this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to the Notes under this Indenture except as may be expressly permitted hereby, (ii) permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien of this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof (other than tax liens, mechanics’ liens and other liens that arise by operation of law, in each case on a Financed Vehicle and arising solely as a result of an action or omission of the related Obligor) or (iii) permit the lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority (other than with respect to any such tax, mechanics’ or other lien) security interest in the Trust Estate.

SECTION 3.9.  ANNUAL STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE. Issuer will deliver to Indenture Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Issuer (commencing 120 days after the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005), and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of TIA Section 314(a)(4), an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to the Authorized Officer signing such Officer’s Certificate, that:

(a)

a review of the activities of Issuer during such year and of performance under this Indenture has been made under such Authorized Officer’s supervision; and

(b)

to the best of such Authorized Officer’s knowledge, based on such review, Issuer has complied with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the compliance of any such condition or covenant, specifying each such default known to such Authorized Officer and the nature and status thereof.

SECTION 3.10.  ISSUER MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC. ONLY ON CERTAIN TERMS.

(a)

Issuer shall not consolidate or merge with or into any other Person, unless:

(i)

the Person (if other than Issuer) formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger (A) shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state and (B) shall not as a result of such consolidation or merger, become an “investment company,” nor will it be “controlled” by an “investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act”) and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to Indenture Trustee, in form satisfactory to Indenture Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all Notes and the performance or observance of every agreement and covenant of this Indenture on the part of Issuer to be performed or observed, all as provided herein;

(ii)

immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(iii)

the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such transaction;

(iv)

Issuer shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (and shall have delivered copies thereof to Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such transaction will not have any material adverse tax consequence to the Trust, any Noteholder or any Certificateholder;

(v)

any action as is necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by this Indenture shall have been taken; and

(vi)

Issuer shall have delivered to Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation or merger and such supplemental indenture comply with this Article III and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with (including any filing required by the Exchange Act).

(b)

The representations set forth in this Section 3.21 may not be waived.

(a)

This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

(b)

The Issuer has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest against the Seller in the Receivables.

(c)

The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(d)

The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

(e)

The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder.

(f)

Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables.  The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated.

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 Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, shall declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to Issuer (and to Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), 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 has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, by written notice to Issuer and Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(c)

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, 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 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 Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

(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 Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) and of the Noteholders allowed in such proceedings;

(e)

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize 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 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 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 action or proceedings instituted by 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 Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

SECTION 5.4.  REMEDIES; PRIORITIES.  (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.5):

(i)

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

(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;

provided that Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default unless:

(A)

the Event of Default is of the type described in Section 5.1(a) or (b); or

(B)

with respect to an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(c):

(1)

the Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes and the Certificateholders of all outstanding Certificates consent thereto; or

(2)

the Noteholders of all Outstanding Amount of the Notes consent thereto; or

(2)

the proceeds of such sale or liquidation are sufficient to pay in full the principal of and the accrued interest on the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; or

(y) the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; or 

In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B)(2) and (C)(2) or (C)(3)(x), 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. The cost of any such opinion shall be reimbursable from amounts held in the Collection Account and shall not be included in the aggregate amount payable to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 5.5(b)(ii) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(b)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a), 5.1(b), 5.1(e) or 5.1(f) which has resulted in an acceleration of the Notes (or following the occurrence of any such event after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(c) or 5.1(d) has occurred and the Trust Estate has been liquidated), if Indenture Trustee collects any money or property, it shall pay out such money or property (and other amounts including amounts held on deposit in the Reserve Account) held as Collateral for the benefit of the Noteholders, net of liquidation costs associated with the sale of the Trust Estate, in the following order:

FIRST:  to Master Servicer for due and unpaid Servicing Fees;

THIRD:  to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for interest; 

FOURTH:  to Noteholders of the Class A-1 Notes, for amounts due and unpaid on the Class A-1 Notes for principal, until the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1 Notes is reduced to zero; 

FIFTH:  to Noteholders of the Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes, for amounts due and unpaid on the Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes for principal, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes for principal, until the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes is reduced to zero; 

SIXTH:  to Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee for amounts due under 6.7 and to Owner Trustee for accrued but unpaid fees and reasonable expenses and indemnifications provided for in the Sale and Servicing Agreement not otherwise paid pursuant to clause SECOND above; and

At least 15 days before such record date, Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and Indenture Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and, based on information provided by the Master Servicer, the amount to be paid. The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to determine any amount required to be paid pursuant to any of clauses FIRST, THIRD, FOURTH and SEVENTH above, except in its capacity (if any) as Successor Master Servicer. 

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, Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation, which opinion shall not be at the expense of the Indenture Trustee, 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 Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(b)

the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have made written request to 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 Indenture Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

(d)

Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such proceedings;

(e)

no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; and

(f)

such Event of Default actually shall have occurred and shall be continuing; 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 or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

In the event 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 Notes, Indenture Trustee shall submit the matter to a vote of the Notes to 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, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, 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 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 Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case Issuer, Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.9.  RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to 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 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 Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by 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 Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on Indenture Trustee; provided 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 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 Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, then any direction to 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;

(d)

Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; and

(e)

such direction shall be in writing;

provided, further, that, subject to Section 6.1, Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound, obligated or required to take any action at the request or direction of any Holder pursuant to this Section 5.11 if such Holder shall not have made available to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities (including fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) which might be incurred by it in compliance with the written request or direction.

SECTION 5.12.  WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.2, the Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes, (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note or (c) depriving the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder of any lien, which waiver shall require the consent of the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholder, as the case may be. In the case of any such waiver, Issuer, Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

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

SECTION 5.13.  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 suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 5.14.  WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 5.15.  ACTION ON NOTES. 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 Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by Indenture Trustee against Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of Issuer. 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 Indenture Trustee to do so and at Administrator’s expense, Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action as Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by Seller and Master Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or by the Seller or any Seller Affiliate, as applicable, of each of their obligations under or in connection with each Purchase Agreement, in each case, in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, to the extent and in the manner directed by Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of Seller, Master Servicer or applicable Seller Affiliates thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by Seller or Master Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or by the Seller or any Seller Affiliate, as applicable, of each of their obligations under or in connection with each Purchase Agreement.

(b)

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Indenture Trustee may, and, at the direction (which direction shall be in writing) of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of Issuer against Seller or Master Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or against the Seller or Seller Affiliate under the Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by Seller, Master Servicer or applicable Seller Affiliate of each of their obligations to Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or any Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and any right of Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

SECTION 6.1.  DUTIES OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE.

(a)

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, of which a Responsible Officer of Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their 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, Indenture Trustee shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture and the other Basic Documents against Indenture Trustee.

(c)

In the absence of bad faith on its part, 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 Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture and the other Basic Documents; however, Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture and the other Basic Documents. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Noteholders of such instrument in the event that the Indenture Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.

(i)

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

(ii)

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

In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon by reason of investment performance, liquidation prior to stated maturity or otherwise. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure to be provided with timely written investment directions.

(f)

Money held in trust by Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(g)

No provision of this Indenture or any other Basic Document shall require Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall in any event require the Indenture Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Indenture except during such time, if any, as the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

Indenture Trustee shall take all actions required to be taken by the Indenture Trustee under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(k)

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

SECTION 6.2.  RIGHTS OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE.

(a)

Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes, suffers or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the powers vested in it by this Indenture or any other Basic Document at the request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(d)

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, that Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(e)

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

(f)

Except in its capacity as Successor Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligation or other duty to make, arrange or ensure the completion of any recording, filing or registration of any instrument or other document (including any UCC financing statements), or any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, with respect to any Receivable or Financed Vehicle, or to determine whether any such document, amendment or supplement is in suitable form for any purpose, and shall not have any obligation or other duty with respect to the payment of any fee, tax or other charge in connection therewith.

Except in its capacity as Successor Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligation to see to the payment or discharge of any lien securing the Receivables, the application of any payment of interest or principal in respect of any Receivable or the transfer or delivery of property released from any such lien, or to make any demand or give any notice with respect thereto.

(h)

The Indenture Trustee shall not have any liability for the acts or omissions of other parties that are not in accordance with the Basic Documents and shall not be concerned with or accountable for the use or application of monies deposited or withdrawn, or required to be deposited or withdrawn, to or from any account by any other party or, to the extent directed to make any such deposit or withdrawal by any such party, by the Indenture Trustee.

The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation or other duty to inspect, review or otherwise examine any such document (including any document in a Receivable File) for any purpose.

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

SECTION 6.4.  INDENTURE TRUSTEE’S DISCLAIMER. Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes or any other Basic Document, shall not be accountable for Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and shall not be responsible for any statement or omission of Issuer in the Indenture or any other Basic Document or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is either actually known or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to a Responsible Officer of Indenture Trustee, Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within 90 days after such knowledge or notice occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), 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.

(b)

Issuer’s payment obligations to Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section referenced in the preceding paragraph shall survive the discharge of this Indenture subject to a satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. When Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.1(d) or (e) with respect to Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

SECTION 6.8.  REPLACEMENT OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE.  (a) Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying Issuer.

a receiver or other public officer takes charge of Indenture Trustee or its property; or

(iv)

(c)

A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to Issuer. 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 Indenture Trustee under this Indenture subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. 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.

(e)

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

(g)

Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, Issuer’s and Administrator’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

(h)

Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.9.  SUCCESSOR INDENTURE TRUSTEE BY MERGER.

(a)

If Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies and the Administrator written notice of any such transaction.

(b)

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to 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 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 Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of Indenture Trustee shall have.

SECTION 6.10.  APPOINTMENT OF CO-INDENTURE TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE INDENTURE TRUSTEE.

(a)

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, after delivering written notice to the Administrator, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of Issuer may at the time be located, 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, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.

(i)

all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by 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 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 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 Issuer 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 Indenture Trustee;

(ii)

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

(iii)

Notwithstanding Section 2.9 or any other provision of this Section, Issuer may without compliance with the requirements of the other provisions of this Section 11.1, (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Receivables as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Trust Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents.

SECTION 11.2.  FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO INDENTURE TRUSTEE.

(a)

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

(b)

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

(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 Indenture Trustee, it is provided that Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect 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. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act of the Noteholders” signing such instrument or instruments.

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

(b)

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

(c)

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

SECTION 11.4.  NOTICES, ETC., TO INDENTURE TRUSTEE, ISSUER AND RATING AGENCIES. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

(b)

Issuer by Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to Issuer addressed to: Wells Fargo Financial Auto Owner Trust 2005-A, in care of Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner Trustee, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19390-0001, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, with a copy to Administrator at Wells Fargo Financial, Inc., 800 Walnut Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50309 Attention: Treasurer, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to Indenture Trustee by Issuer or Administrator.

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

(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 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 to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to Issuer 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 a Default or 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, Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by 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, provided that such methods are reasonable and consented to by Indenture Trustee. Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and Indenture Trustee shall cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

SECTION 11.7.  CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control. The provisions of TIA Sections 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. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

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 the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other person with an ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

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

SECTION 11.13.  GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

SECTION 11.14.  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 Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee (which may be counsel to Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to 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 Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

SECTION 11.16.  TRUST OBLIGATION.

(a)

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

(b)

In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, to the extent Seller enters into other securitization transactions, each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets or interests therein of Seller (other than the Trust Property and Reserve Account relating to this transaction) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by Seller to another securitization trust or other Person or Persons in connection therewith (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a lien) (“Other Assets”). To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentences of this Section, a Noteholder either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or through Seller or any other Person owned by Seller, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed asserted against or through Seller or any other Person owned by Seller, then each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of Seller which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to priority of distribution or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether asserted against Seller or any other Person owned by Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note, further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 11.16(b) and the terms of this Section 11.16(b) may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this Section 11.16(b) shall be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

SECTION 11.17.  NO PETITION. Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute against Seller or Issuer, or join in any institution against Seller or Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the Basic Documents.

SECTION 11.18.  INSPECTION. Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of Indenture Trustee, during Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports, and other papers of Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants, and to discuss Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with Issuer’s officers, employees, and independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Indenture Trustee shall and 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 unavailing) and except to the extent that Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 11.19.  CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Any Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, shall be deemed to have agreed to keep any information obtained by it pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement confidential and not to use such information for any other purpose, except as required by applicable law.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Issuer and Indenture Trustee have caused this Indenture to be duly executed by their respective officers, thereunto duly authorized, all as of the day and year first above written.

3.39% CLASS A-1 ASSET BACKED NOTES

Wells Fargo Financial Auto Owner Trust 2005-A, a Delaware statutory trust (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS ($230,000,000) payable on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the aggregate amount, if any, payable to Noteholders of Class A-1 Notes on such Payment Date from the Principal Distribution Account in respect of principal on the Class A-1 Notes pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Indenture dated as of May 31, 2005  (as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Indenture Trustee (in such capacity the “Indenture Trustee”); provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the June 2006 Payment Date (the “Class A-1 Final Scheduled Payment Date”).

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its 3.39% Class A-1 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-1 Notes”) which, together with the Issuer’s 3.86% Class A-2 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-2 Notes”), 4.09% Class A-3 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-3 Notes”) and 4.28% Class A-4 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-4 Notes” and, together with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes, the “Notes”), are issued 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 Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

The Class A-1 Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Class A-1 Notes are senior in right of payment to the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes, each as and to the extent provided in the Indenture.

Principal of the Class A-1 Notes will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Payment Date” means the fifteenth day of each month, or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing July 2005. All principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-1 Noteholders entitled thereto. 

As described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the Class A-1 Final Scheduled Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), 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 in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture. In such event, all payments on the Class A-1 Notes will be made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. 

Payments of interest on this Note on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date, by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Indenture, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee and except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date or on the Final Scheduled Payment Date for such Class (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture) which shall be payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture and, in such event, all principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto. Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2 of the Indenture.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class A-1 Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, in the manner and to the extent described in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The transfer of this Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer specified on the face hereof and to the other limitations set forth in the Indenture. Subject to the satisfaction of such restrictions and limitations, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder hereof or such Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same Class in authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its 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 Seller, the Transferor, the Issuer, 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, each in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Seller, the Transferor or the Issuer, (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Transferor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or (iv) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, 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 for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Noteholder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing paragraph, to the extent Seller enters into other securitization transactions, each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets or interests therein of Seller (other than the Trust Property and Reserve Account relating to this transaction) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by Seller to another securitization trust or other Person or Persons in connection therewith (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a lien) (“Other Assets”). To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentences of this paragraph, a Noteholder or Note Owner either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or through Seller or any other Person owned by Seller, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed asserted against or through Seller or any other Person owned by Seller, then each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of Seller which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to priority of distribution or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether asserted against Seller or any other Person owned by Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this paragraph and the terms of this paragraph may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this paragraph shall be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and shall survive the termination of the Indenture and this Note.

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 by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Seller, the Transferor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the other Basic Documents. 

The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), will be deemed to agree to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer 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 be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits (with certain exceptions requiring the consent of all Noteholders adversely affected) the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures without the consent of the Noteholders provided certain conditions are satisfied. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders of Notes evidencing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of all Noteholders, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Noteholder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders 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 term “Issuer”, as used in this Note, includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

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

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

THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS.

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

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its 3.86% Class A-2 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-2 Notes”) which, together with the Issuer’s 3.39% Class A-1 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-1 Notes”), 4.09% Class A-3 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-3 Notes”) and 4.28% Class A-4 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-4 Notes”), and, together with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and Class A-3 Notes, the “Notes”), are issued 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 Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

The Class A-2 Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Class A-2 Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the Class A-1 Notes and are senior in right of payment to the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes, each as and to the extent provided in the Indenture. 

Principal of the Class A-2 Notes will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Payment Date” means the fifteenth day of each month, or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing July 2005. All principal payments on the Class A-2 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-2 Noteholders entitled thereto. 

As described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the Class A-2 Final Scheduled Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), 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 in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture. In such event, all payments on the Class A-2 Notes will be made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. 

Payments of interest on this Note on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date, by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Indenture, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee and except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date or on the Final Scheduled Payment Date for such Class (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture) which shall be payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture and, in such event, all principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto. Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2 of the Indenture.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class A-2 Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, in the manner and to the extent described in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

The transfer of this Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer specified on the face hereof and to the other limitations set forth in the Indenture. Subject to the satisfaction of such restrictions and limitations, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder hereof or such Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same Class in authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its 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 Seller, the Transferor, the Issuer, 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, each in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Seller, the Transferor or the Issuer, (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Transferor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or (iv) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, 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 for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Noteholder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing paragraph, to the extent Seller enters into other securitization transactions, each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets or interests therein of Seller (other than the Trust Property and Reserve Account relating to this transaction) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by Seller to another securitization trust or other Person or Persons in connection therewith (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a lien) (“Other Assets”). To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentences of this paragraph, a Noteholder or Note Owner either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or through Seller or any other Person owned by Seller, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed asserted against or through Seller or any other Person owned by Seller, then each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of Seller which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to priority of distribution or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether asserted against Seller or any other Person owned by Seller), including the payment of post- petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this paragraph and the terms of this paragraph may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this paragraph shall be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and shall survive the termination of the Indenture and this Note.

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 by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Seller, the Transferor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the other Basic Documents. 

The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), will be deemed to agree to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer 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 be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits (with certain exceptions requiring the consent of all Noteholders adversely affected) the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures without the consent of the Noteholders provided certain conditions are satisfied. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders of Notes evidencing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of all Noteholders, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Noteholder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders 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 term “Issuer”, as used in this Note, includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

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

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

THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS.

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

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its 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 Seller, the Transferor, the Issuer, 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, each in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Seller, the Transferor or the Issuer, (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Transferor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or (iv) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, 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 for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Noteholder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing paragraph, to the extent Seller enters into other securitization transactions, each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets or interests therein of Seller (other than the Trust Property and Reserve Account relating to this transaction) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by Seller to another securitization trust or other Person or Persons in connection therewith (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a lien) (“Other Assets”). To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentences of this paragraph, a Noteholder or Note Owner either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or through Seller or any other Person owned by Seller, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed asserted against or through Seller or any other Person owned by Seller, then each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of Seller which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to priority of distribution or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether asserted against Seller or any other Person owned by Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this paragraph and the terms of this paragraph may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this paragraph shall be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and shall survive the termination of the Indenture and this Note.

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 by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Seller, the Transferor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the other Basic Documents. 

The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), will be deemed to agree to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer 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 be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders of Notes evidencing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of all Noteholders, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Noteholder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders 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 term “Issuer”, as used in this Note, includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

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

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

THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS.

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

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its 4.28% Class A-4 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-4 Notes”) which, together with the Issuer’s 3.39% Class A-1 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-1 Notes”), 3.86% Class A-2 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-2 Notes”), 4.09% Class A-3 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-3 Notes” and, together with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and Class A-4 Notes, the “Notes”), are issued 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 Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

The Class A-4 Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Class A-4 Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes, each as and to the extent provided in the Indenture. 

Principal of the Class A-4 Notes will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Payment Date” means the fifteenth day of each month, or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing July 2005. All principal payments on the Class A-4 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-4 Noteholders entitled thereto. 

As described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the Class A-4 Final Scheduled Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), 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 in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture. In such event, all payments on the Class A-4 Notes will be made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. 

Payments of interest on this Note on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date, by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Indenture, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee and except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date or on the Final Scheduled Payment Date for such Class (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture) which shall be payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.4 of the Indenture and, in such event, all principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto. Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2 of the Indenture.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class A-4 Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, in the manner and to the extent described in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

The transfer of this Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer specified on the face hereof and to the other limitations set forth in the Indenture. Subject to the satisfaction of such restrictions and limitations, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder hereof or such Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same Class in authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its 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 Seller, the Transferor, the Issuer, 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, each in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Seller, the Transferor or the Issuer, (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Transferor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or (iv) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, 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 for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Noteholder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing paragraph, to the extent Seller enters into other securitization transactions, each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets or interests therein of Seller (other than the Trust Property and Reserve Account relating to this transaction) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by Seller to another securitization trust or other Person or Persons in connection therewith (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a lien) (“Other Assets”). To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentences of this paragraph, a Noteholder or Note Owner either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or through Seller or any other Person owned by Seller, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed asserted against or through Seller or any other Person owned by Seller, then each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of Seller which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to priority of distribution or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether asserted against Seller or any other Person owned by Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this paragraph and the terms of this paragraph may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this paragraph shall be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

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 by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Seller, the Transferor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the other Basic Documents. 

The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), will be deemed to agree to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders of Notes evidencing specified percentages of Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of all Noteholders, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Noteholder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders 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 term “Issuer”, as used in this Note, includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

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