On each Distribution Date, based upon the Servicer's Certificate, the 1999-A

Date, the 1999-A Owner Trustee will be entitled to withdraw from the 1999-A SUBI
Collection Account for its own benefit and use, the amounts allocated pursuant
to clauses (vii) and (xxiii) of Section 3.03(c) above. However, if the Servicer
previously has made Advances in respect of any such amounts allocated pursuant
to clauses (vi), (vii) or (xxiii) of Section 3.03(c) above, the 1999-A Owner
Trustee shall instead pay the amounts allocable to clauses (vi), (vii) or
(xxiii) of Section 3.03(c) above, as applicable, to the Servicer up to the
amount of such Advances not previously reimbursed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.06(f) of the Servicing Agreement and Section 9.02(b)(ii) of the 1999-A
Servicing Supplement, for so long as AHFC is the Servicer and each Monthly
Remittance Condition is satisfied, the Servicer will be entitled to make
deposits of Collections into the 1999-A SUBI Collection Account net of amounts
payable or reimbursable to the Servicer as compensation, in respect of Advances
or otherwise (including for amounts advanced by the Servicer for amounts
otherwise payable to the 1999-A Owner Trustee, the 1999-A Indenture Trustee, the
Origination Trustee or the Trust Agent), and net of amounts payable or
reimbursable (and actually so paid or reimbursed directly by the Servicer) in
respect of the Origination Trust. To the extent the Servicer makes deposits net
of any such amounts, the Servicer will cause each relevant Servicer's
Certificate to correctly and accurately account for such amounts in providing
all information with respect to allocations, applications and payments to be
made pursuant to this Section 3.03 of this 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement
on the same basis as though such amounts were in fact deposited into the 1999-A
SUBI Collection Account. Moreover, the Servicer will, in each relevant
Servicer's Certificate, instruct the 1999-A Owner Trustee not to make any
distribution to the Servicer, the 1999-A Owner Trustee, the 1999-A Indenture
Trustee or the Origination Trustee to the extent that the Servicer has made any
deposit net of a corresponding amount. The 1999-A Owner Trustee will have no
obligation with respect to or liability for following any such instruction by
the Servicer.
(h) On the Final Scheduled Distribution Date of any Class of Notes or
the Certificates, an additional payment to the Noteholders of such Class or the
Certificateholders of such Class, as the case may be, shall be made as and to
the extent required by Section 3.04(e) and (g).
Section 3.04 THE RESERVE FUND.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT OF THE RESERVE FUND.
(i) In order to assure that sufficient amounts to make
required distributions to Noteholders will be available, the 1999-A
Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain with and in the name of
the 1999-A Indenture Trustee an Eligible Account to be known
22
as the "Reserve Fund", which will include the money and other property
deposited and held therein pursuant to Section 3.03 and this Section
3.04. Funds in the Reserve Fund shall be the property of the 1999-A
Securitization Trust and, to the extent provided herein, of HTC LP and
HTD LP. If for any reason the Reserve Fund is no longer an Eligible
Account, the Servicer shall, with the assistance of the 1999-A
Indenture Trustee, promptly cause the Reserve Fund to be moved to
another institution or otherwise changed so that the Reserve Fund
becomes an Eligible Account. The 1999-A Indenture Trustee shall retain,
subject to the provisions of this 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement
and the other 1999-A Securitization Documents, all collections on or in
respect of the 1999-A SUBI Interest transferred from the 1999-A SUBI
Collection Account to the 1999-A Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the
Noteholders, in accordance with such provisions, in the 1999-A Note
Distribution Account or the Reserve Fund, as the case may be. The
1999-A Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have possession of such
monies and collections for purposes of Section 9-305 of the UCC of the
jurisdiction in which such property is located.
(ii) On each Distribution Date, the Servicer, pursuant to
the instructions of the 1999-A Owner Trustee, shall withdraw from
the 1999-A SUBI Collection Account and deposit into the Reserve Fund
the amount allocated pursuant to clause (ix) of Section 3.03(c). All
deposits and withdrawals from the Reserve Fund shall be made only
upon the terms and conditions of the 1999-A Securitization Documents.
(iii) On each Distribution Date, the 1999-A Indenture Trustee
shall distribute to HTC LP and HTD LP, to the extent thereof, (A) any
net investment income from investment of funds in the Reserve Fund and
(B) any amounts in excess of the Reserve Fund Requirement on such date.
(iv) For so long as the Reserve Fund is an Eligible Account,
all amounts held in the Reserve Fund shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable laws, rules and regulations, be invested by the 1999-A
Indenture Trustee, as directed in writing by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 9.02(k) of the 1999-A Servicing Supplement, in Eligible
Investments (or, if the Servicer fails to give such directions, as
provided in Section 8.03(c) of the Indenture); otherwise, such amounts
shall be maintained in (1) Cash or Cash equivalents or (2) a money
market fund offered by the Origination Trustee or an Affiliate of the
Origination Trustee, the 1999-A Indenture Trustee or an Affiliate of
the 1999-A Indenture Trustee or the 1999-A Owner Trustee or an
Affiliate of the 1999-A Owner Trustee, in any case which money market
fund meets the requirements of clause (i) of the definition of Eligible
Investments, which investment, whether under clause (1) or clause (2),
matures no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next
succeeding Distribution Date. Earnings on investment of funds in the
Reserve Fund shall be paid to HTC LP and HTD LP on each Distribution
Date, and any losses and any investment expenses shall be charged
against the funds on deposit therein. Neither the Servicer nor the
1999-A Indenture Trustee shall incur any liability for the selection of
investments or for losses thereon absent its own negligence or willful
misfeasance. The 1999-A 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 date or the failure of the
Servicer to provide timely written investment directions.
23

published. If at any time the 1999-A Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.06, the 1999-A Owner Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section
6.07.
Section 6.07 RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF 1999-A OWNER TRUSTEE;
RESIGNATION OF DELAWARE OWNER TRUSTEE.
(a) RESIGNATION. The 1999-A Owner Trustee may at any time
resign and be discharged from the trusts created by this 1999-A
Securitization Trust Agreement by giving written notice thereof to HTC
LP and HTD LP. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, HTC LP and
HTD LP shall promptly appoint a successor 1999-A Owner Trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the resigning 1999-A Owner Trustee and one copy to the
successor 1999-A Owner Trustee. If no successor 1999-A Owner Trustee
shall have been so appointed and
42
have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning 1999-A Owner Trustee may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
1999-A Owner Trustee.
(b) REMOVAL. If at any time the 1999-A Owner Trustee shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.06
and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by HTC LP and
HTD LP, or if at any time the 1999-A Owner Trustee shall be legally
unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the 1999-A Owner Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the
1999-A Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then HTC LP and HTD LP may
jointly remove the 1999-A Owner Trustee. If HTC LP and HTD LP shall
remove the 1999-A Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately
preceding sentence, HTC LP and HTD LP shall promptly appoint a
successor 1999-A Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the 1999-A Owner Trustee
so removed and one copy to the successor 1999-A Owner Trustee, and
payment of all fees owed to the outgoing 1999-A Owner Trustee.
(c) EFFECTIVE DATE OF RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL. Any resignation
or removal of the 1999-A Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor
1999-A Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section
6.07 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the
successor 1999-A Owner Trustee as provided in Section 6.08. The
Servicer shall give the 1999-A Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency
notice of any such resignation or removal of the 1999-A Owner Trustee
and appointment and acceptance of a successor 1999-A Owner Trustee.
(d) DELAWARE OWNER TRUSTEE. Clauses (a) and (c) of this
Section 6.07 shall apply to the Delaware Owner Trustee on the same
basis as the 1999-A Owner Trustee.
Section 6.08 SUCCESSOR 1999-A OWNER TRUSTEE OR DELAWARE OWNER TRUSTEE.
Any successor 1999-A Owner Trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.07 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor 1999-A Owner Trustee, to HTC
LP and to HTD LP, an instrument accepting such appointment under this 1999-A
Securitization Trust Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor 1999-A Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor
1999-A 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 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement, with like effect
as if originally named as 1999-A Owner Trustee. The predecessor 1999-A Owner
Trustee shall deliver to the successor 1999-A Owner Trustee all documents and
statements held by it under this 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement; and HTC
LP, HTD LP and the predecessor 1999-A Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver
such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to fully
and certainly vest and confirm in the successor 1999-A Owner Trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations. No successor 1999-A Owner Trustee shall
accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.08 unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor 1999-A Owner Trustee shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 6.06. Upon acceptance by a successor 1999-A Owner Trustee
of its appointment as provided in this Section
43
6.08, the Servicer shall cause notice of the appointment of such successor
1999-A Owner Trustee under this 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement to be
given by mail to the 1999-A Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency. If the
Servicer fails to mail or cause to be mailed such notice within ten days after
acceptance of appointment by the successor 1999-A Owner Trustee, the successor
1999-A Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Servicer. This Section 6.08 shall apply to the Delaware Owner Trustee on the
same basis as the 1999-A Owner Trustee.
Section 6.09 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF 1999-A OWNER TRUSTEE OR
DELAWARE OWNER TRUSTEE. Any corporation (i) into which the 1999-A Owner Trustee
may be merged or consolidated, (ii) which may result from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the 1999-A Owner Trustee shall be a party, or (iii)
which may succeed to the corporate trust business of the 1999-A Owner Trustee,
shall be the successor of the 1999-A Owner Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 6.06, 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, except that if the
1999-A Owner Trustee in any of the foregoing cases is not the surviving entity,
then the surviving entity shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform
every obligation of the 1999-A Owner Trustee, either generally or particularly
as provided herein. Notice of any such event shall be given by the 1999-A Owner
Trustee to each Rating Agency. This Section 6.09 shall apply to the Delaware
Owner Trustee on the same basis as the 1999-A Owner Trustee.
Section 6.10 APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE 1999-A OWNER
TRUSTEE. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this 1999-A Securitization
Trust Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements
of any jurisdiction in which any part of the 1999-A Securitization Trust may at
the time be located, HTC LP, HTD LP and the 1999-A Owner Trustee acting jointly
shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint
one or more Persons approved by the 1999-A Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee,
jointly with the 1999-A Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees,
of all or any part of the 1999-A Securitization Trust, and to vest in such
Person, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders and the
Certificateholders, such title to the 1999-A Securitization Trust, or any part
thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers,
duties, obligations, rights and trusts as HTC LP, HTD LP and the 1999-A Owner
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If either HTC LP or HTD LP shall
not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a
request to do so, the 1999-A Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make
such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this 1999-A
Securitization Trust Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor 1999-A Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06 and no
notice of a successor 1999-A Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.08 and no
notice to Certificateholders, Noteholders or the 1999-A Indenture Trustee of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to
Section 6.08.
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 the 1999-A Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and
exercised or performed by the
44
1999-A Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly
(it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not
authorized to act separately without the 1999-A Owner Trustee joining
in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed
the 1999-A Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the 1999-A
Securitization Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction)
shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or
co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the 1999-A Owner Trustee;
(ii) no trustee under this 1999-A Securitization Trust
Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission
of any other trustee under this 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement;
and
(iii) HTC LP, HTD LP and the 1999-A Owner Trustee acting
jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any
separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the 1999-A 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 1999-A
Securitization Trust Agreement and the conditions of this Section 6.10. Each
separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred,
shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of
appointment, either jointly with the 1999-A Owner Trustee or separately, as may
be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this 1999-A Securitization
Trust Agreement, specifically including every provision of this 1999-A
Securitization Trust Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the
liability of, or affording protection to, the 1999-A Owner Trustee. Each such
instrument shall be filed with the 1999-A Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given
to HTC LP, HTD LP and the Servicer.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the 1999-A
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 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement on behalf of such separate trustee or
co-trustee and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
1999-A Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of
a new or successor trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement, the appointment of any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall not relieve the 1999-A Owner Trustee of its obligations and
duties under this 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement.
Section 6.11 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF 1999-A OWNER TRUSTEE.
The 1999-A Owner Trustee makes the following representations and warranties upon

Servicer's instructions. Also pursuant to Section 10.04 of the 1999-A Servicing

Securitization Trust Agreement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and
enforced by the 1999-A Owner Trustee without the possession of the Certificates
or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such
proceeding instituted by the 1999-A Owner Trustee shall be brought in its own
name as trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment
of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
1999-A Owner Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the
Noteholders and the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has
been obtained.
Section 6.14 SUIT FOR ENFORCEMENT. If a 1999-A Servicer Termination
Event shall occur and be continuing, the 1999-A Indenture Trustee or the 1999-A
Owner Trustee, in its discretion, may, subject to the provisions of Sections
6.01 and 6.02 hereof and Section 2.01(c) of the Servicing Agreement (with
respect to the Servicer), proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Noteholders and Certificateholders under this 1999-A
Securitization Trust Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and the 1999-A Servicing
Supplement, as applicable, by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law
or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement
contained herein or therein or in aid of the execution of any power
46
granted herein or therein or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable
or other remedy as the 1999-A Indenture Trustee or the 1999-A Owner Trustee,
being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any
of the rights of the 1999-A Indenture Trustee or the 1999-A Owner Trustee or the
Noteholders and the Certificateholders.
Section 6.15 RIGHTS OF 1999-A INDENTURE TRUSTEE TO DIRECT 1999-A OWNER
TRUSTEE. Until the Notes are paid in full, the 1999-A Indenture Trustee shall
have the right, and, thereafter, HTC LP and HTD LP shall jointly have the right,
to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the 1999-A Owner Trustee under this 1999-A Securitization Trust
Agreement, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the 1999-A Owner
Trustee by this 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
(a) subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, the 1999-A Owner Trustee shall have the
right to decline to follow any such direction if the 1999-A Owner Trustee being
advised by counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be
taken, or if the 1999-A Owner Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible
Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or subject
it to personal liability, and (b) nothing in this 1999-A Securitization Trust
Agreement shall impair the right of the 1999-A Owner Trustee to take any action
deemed proper by the 1999-A Owner Trustee and which is not inconsistent with
such direction by the 1999-A Indenture Trustee or by HTC LP and HTD LP, as

Trustee's or 1999-A Owner Trustee's right to file any claim in or otherwise take
actions with respect to any such proceeding instituted by any Person not under
such a constraint. This Section 6.16 shall survive the termination of this

Securitization Trust Agreement or the Indenture, respectively.

TAX MATTERS
Section 8.01 TAX AND ACCOUNTING CHARACTERIZATION. It is the intent of
the parties hereto that the 1999-A Securitization Trust not constitute a
separate entity for federal income tax or
49
state income or franchise tax purposes. It is the intent of each of HTC LP and
HTD LP and the Noteholders that the Notes be treated as indebtedness of each of
HTC LP and HTD LP secured by the assets of the 1999-A Securitization Trust for
federal income tax and state income and franchise tax purposes. The parties
agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the 1999-A
Securitization Trust shall not file or cause to be filed annual returns, reports
or other forms and shall treat the 1999-A Securitization Trust consistent with
the characterization that the 1999-A Securitization Trust is not a separate
entity for tax purposes.
ARTICLE NINE
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 9.01 AMENDMENT.
(a) This 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement and the 1999-A
Securitization Documents may be amended by the respective parties
thereto, without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the
Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions herein or therein, to add, change or eliminate any other
provisions hereof or thereof with respect to matters or questions
arising hereunder or thereunder that shall not be inconsistent with the
provisions hereof or thereof, or to add or amend any provision therein
in connection with permitting transfers of the Certificates or the
Notes; provided, HOWEVER, that any such action shall not, in the good
faith judgment of the parties hereto or thereto, adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of any Noteholders, any
Certificateholders, the 1999-A Indenture Trustee, the 1999-A Owner
Trustee or the Origination Trustee; or, as a condition to the
effectiveness of such amendment, the 1999-A Indenture Trustee and
the 1999-A Owner Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that such action shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Noteholders or any
Certificateholders; and PROVIDED, FURTHER that any amendment
eliminating the Reserve Fund or reducing the Reserve Fund
Requirement shall also require HTC LP and HTD LP to deliver to the
1999-A Owner Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that after
such amendment, for federal income tax purposes, the 1999-A
Securitization Trust will not be treated as an association taxable
as a corporation and the Notes should properly be characterized as
indebtedness that is secured by the assets of the 1999-A
Securitization Trust.
(b) This 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement and the 1999-A
Securitization Documents may also be amended from time to time by the
respective parties hereto or thereto including with respect to (i)
changing the formula for determining the Reserve Fund Requirement and
changing the Reserve Fund Tests which change could result in a decrease
in the amount of the Reserve Fund Requirement, (ii) changing the manner
by which the Reserve Fund is funded, which changes could include
borrowings by HTC LP and HTD LP to fund all or a portion of the Reserve
Fund Initial Deposit (which borrowings would be payable from assets or
cash flow otherwise payable to HTC LP and HTD LP), (iii) changing the
remittance schedule for deposits in the 1999-A Note Distribution
Account and the 1999-A Certificate Distribution Account, or (iv)
changing the definition of "Eligible Investments", if either (A) the
1999-A Indenture Trustee has been furnished with confirmation (written
or oral) from each Rating Agency to the effect that such amendment
would not cause its then-current rating
50
of any Rated Notes to be qualified, reduced or withdrawn, or (B) the
1999-A Indenture Trustee has received the consent of the Noteholders
holding Notes representing more than 50% of the aggregate Voting
Interests, acting as a single Class, and the 1999-A Owner Trustee has
received the consent of the Certificateholders holding Certificates
representing more than 50% of the aggregate Voting Interests (which
consent of any Noteholder or Certificateholder given pursuant to this
Section 9.01(b) or pursuant to any other provision of this 1999-A
Securitization Trust Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on such
Noteholder or Certificateholder and on all future Noteholders or
Certificateholders of such Note and of any Note or Certificate issued
upon the transfer thereof or in exchange thereof, or in lieu thereof
whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Note or
Certificate); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (1) any amendment eliminating the
Reserve Fund or reducing the Reserve Fund Requirement to less than
the lesser of the Reserve Fund Initial Deposit and the sum of the
Note Balance and the Certificate Balance as of the related
Distribution Date (after giving effect to reductions in the Note
Balance and Certificate Balance on such Distribution Date), shall
also require that the 1999-A Indenture Trustee and each Rating
Agency receive an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, after such
amendment, for federal income tax purposes the Notes will properly
be characterized as indebtedness that is secured by the assets of
the 1999-A Securitization Trust; and (2) no such amendment shall (x)
except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01(a), increase or reduce
in any manner (i) the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing
of, collections of payments on the 1999-A SUBI Interest, the 1999-A
SUBI Certificates or the Retained 1999-A SUBI Certificates, or
distributions that shall be required to be made on any Note or
Certificate or (ii) the applicable Note Rate or Certificate Rate or
(y) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the aggregate Voting Interest
of the Notes or the aggregate Voting Interest of the Certificates
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of
all of the Noteholders and all of the Certificateholders holding
Notes or Certificates, as applicable, then outstanding.
(c) The 1999-A Owner Trustee shall provide each Rating Agency
prior notice of any proposed amendment hereto and copies of an Opinion
of Counsel, if relevant, whether or not such amendment requires the
approval of the Rating Agency. Any notice of any such amendment or
modification as to which notice is required to be given to any Rating
Agency shall contain both the substance and substantial form of the
proposed amendment or modification.
(d) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or
consent, the 1999-A Owner Trustee and the 1999-A Indenture Trustee
shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment
or consent to each Certificateholder and Noteholder, as the case may
be. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders or
Noteholders pursuant to Section 9.01(b) to approve the particular form
of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if
such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization by
Certificateholders or Noteholders of the execution thereof shall be
subject to such reasonable requirements as the 1999-A Owner Trustee may
prescribe.
51
(e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this 1999-A
Securitization Trust Agreement, the 1999-A Indenture Trustee and the
1999-A Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement
and that such amendment would not reasonably be expected to adversely
affect the federal income tax attributes of the Notes. The 1999-A
Indenture Trustee and the 1999-A Owner Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the 1999-A
Indenture Trustee's or 1999-A Owner Trustee's, as the case may be, own
rights, duties or immunities under this 1999-A Securitization Trust
Agreement or otherwise.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [HONDA TITLING C L.P. ("HTC LP")/HONDA TITLING D
L.P. ("HTD LP")] is the registered owner of a [99%/1%] equity interest in a
separate series designated as the "1999-A Note Securitization Trust" (the

Bank, the Delaware Owner Trustee, the 1999-A Indenture Trustee, Honda Titling A
L.P., Honda Titling B L.P., Honda Titling C L.P. and Honda Titling D L.P.
This Certificate is issued under the 1999-A Securitization Trust
Agreement and designated as a "Honda Auto Lease Trust 1999-A Auto Lease Backed
Certificate" (a "Certificate"). This Certificate is issued under and is subject
to the terms, provisions and conditions of the 1999-A Securitization Trust
Agreement, to which 1999-A Securitization Trust
A-1
Agreement the holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof
assents and by which such holder is bound.
The property of the 1999-A Securitization Trust includes, among other
things, (i) the HTC LP 1999-A SUBI Certificate evidencing a 98.802% interest in
the 1999-A SUBI Assets, (ii) the HTD LP 1999-A SUBI Certificate evidencing a
0.998% interest in the 1999-A SUBI Assets, (iii) the amounts on deposit from
time to time in the 1999-A SUBI Accounts, (iv) rights as the third-party
beneficiary of the Servicing Agreement, the 1999-A Servicing Supplement, the
Origination Trust Agreement and the 1999-A SUBI Supplement and (v) all of the
proceeds of the foregoing. The rights of the 1999-A Securitization Trust in the
foregoing property (excluding any interest in the Residual Value Insurance
Policy or any other residual value insurance policy to the extent such interest
relates to the 1999-A Contracts and the 1999-A Leased Vehicles) have been
pledged by the 1999-A Owner Trustee to the 1999-A Indenture Trustee pursuant to
the Indenture to secure the payment of the Notes.
Payments in respect of the 1999-A SUBI Certificates will be allocated
between the Notes and the Certificates and paid to, among other recipients, the
registered holder of this Certificate as provided in the 1999-A Securitization
Trust Agreement.
The holder of this Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights
to receive payments in respect of this Certificate are subordinated to the
rights of the Noteholders as described in the 1999-A Securitization Trust
Agreement and the Indenture, as applicable.
By accepting this Certificate, the holder hereof waives any claim to
any proceeds or assets of the Origination Trust other than those from time to
time included within the 1999-A SUBI Interest as 1999-A SUBI Assets.
It is the intention of [HTC LP/HTD LP], as the holder of this
Certificate, that the Notes will be indebtedness for federal, state and local
income and franchise tax purposes and for purposes of any other tax imposed on
or measured by income. The 1999-A Owner Trustee and [HTC LP/HTD LP], as the
holder of this Certificate, by acceptance of this Certificate, agree to treat
the Notes, for purposes of federal, state, and local income or franchise taxes
and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as indebtedness and to
report the transactions contemplated by the 1999-A Securitization Trust
Agreement on all applicable tax returns in a matter consistent with such
treatment.
The holder of this Certificate, by accepting this Certificate,
covenants and agrees that prior to the date which is one year and one day after
the last date upon which (a) each Class of Notes and the Certificates have been
paid in full, and (b) all obligations due under any other Securitization have
been paid in full, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in
instituting against, the 1999-A Securitization Trust, HTA LP, HTB LP, HTC LP,
HTD LP, any general partner or member (as applicable) of a UTI Beneficiary or of
a Transferor which is a partnership or a limited liability company, the
Origination Trustee, the Origination Trust, any Special Purpose Affiliate, any
UTI Beneficiary, any Beneficiary, and any general partner or member (as
applicable) of a Beneficiary or of a Special Purpose Affiliate partnership (or
any of their respective general partners) that is a partnership or a limited
liability company, any
A-2
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or
other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.
If, notwithstanding the statement of intentions and undertakings set
forth in Section 8.01 of the 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement and herein,
it is finally determined that the Notes do not evidence indebtedness of HTC LP
and HTD LP for all income and franchise tax purposes, but rather represent
equity interests in the assets of the 1999-A Securitization Trust, then [HTC
LP/HTD LP], as holder hereof, agrees (i) to treat the Notes, together with this
Certificate, as representing an interest in a partnership for all tax purposes,
(ii) to treat all payments in respect of such Certificate (to the extent not a
return of capital) as a "guaranteed payment" thereon made pursuant to Section
707(c) of the Code, and (iii) to allocate losses to such Certificate only to the
extent required for the allocation of all other items of income, gain,
deduction, loss or credit with respect to the assets and operations of the
1999-A Securitization Trust to [HTC LP/HTD LP] to be respected for federal
income tax purposes.
This Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest
in, HTC LP, HTD LP, the Servicer, the 1999-A Indenture Trustee, the 1999-A Owner
Trustee, the Origination Trust or any of their respective Affiliates, other than
the 1999-A Securitization Trust. This Certificate is limited in right of payment
to certain collections and recoveries respecting the 1999-A SUBI Interest, the
1999-A SUBI Certificates and certain monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund and
in certain other accounts, in each case to the extent and as more specifically
set forth in the 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement. A copy of the 1999-A
Securitization Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at
the Corporate Trust Office of the 1999-A Owner Trustee, and at such other places
in the United States, if any, designated by the 1999-A Owner Trustee, by the
Certificateholder upon request.
The 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the
rights and obligations of the parties thereto and the rights of the
Certificateholder under the 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement at any time by
HTC LP, HTD LP, the Servicer, the 1999-A Indenture Trustee and the 1999-A Owner
Trustee. In certain limited circumstances, the 1999-A Securitization Trust
Agreement may only be amended with the consent of Holders of Notes evidencing
more than 50% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of all Notes, voting
together as a single class.
As provided in the 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement, this
Certificate shall be owned by [HTC LP/HTD LP] and may not be transferred.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the 1999-A
Securitization Trust Agreement and the 1999-A Securitization Trust created
thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Noteholders of all amounts required
to be paid to them pursuant to the 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement and the
disposition of all property held as part of the 1999-A Securitization Trust. The
Servicer may at its option purchase the corpus of the 1999-A Securitization
Trust at a price specified in the 1999-A Securitization Trust Agreement, and
such purchase of the 1999-A SUBI, the Retained 1999-A SUBI Certificates and
other property of the 1999-A Securitization Trust will effect early retirement
of this Certificate; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, such right of purchase is exercisable
only on the Distribution Date following the last day of a Collection Period as
of which the sum of the Note Balance and the Certificate Balance shall be
A-3
less than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the sum of the Initial Note Balance
and the Initial Certificate Balance.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been
executed by an authorized officer of the 1999-A Owner Trustee, by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not entitle the Certificateholder hereof to
any benefit under the 1999-A Securitization Trust 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 CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE
OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the 1999-A Owner Trustee on behalf of the 1999-A
Securitization Trust and not in its individual capacity has caused this
Certificate to be duly executed by its duly authorized officer.
