WHEREAS, ▇▇▇▇ desires to purchase on the date hereof a portfolio of

WHEREAS, the Issuer may wish to provide in the agreements pursuant to
which it acquires its interest in such contracts and related rights and issues

WHEREAS, the Servicer is willing to service such contracts in accordance

instrument relating to any of them.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES
SECTION 3.01 Duties of the Servicer. The Servicer is hereby appointed and
authorized to act as agent for the Owner of the Receivables and in such capacity
shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables with
reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer
exercises with respect to comparable automotive receivables that it services for
itself or others. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and authorization
and agrees to perform the duties of Servicer with respect to the Receivables set
forth herein and in the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements.
(b) The Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting of
all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors, investigating delinquencies,
sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors,
policing the collateral, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and
annual statements to the Owner of any Receivables with respect to distributions,
generating federal income tax information and performing the other duties
specified herein. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02, the Servicer shall
follow its customary standards, policies and procedures and shall have full
power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with
such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem
necessary or desirable.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer
is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner of the Receivables, pursuant to
this Section 3.01, to execute and deliver, on behalf of all Interested Parties,
or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Receivables and the Financed Vehicles. The Servicer is hereby
authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Owner of such
Receivable a legal proceeding to enforce a Liquidating Receivable as
contemplated by Section 3.04, to enforce all obligations of GMAC and ▇▇▇▇ under
this Agreement and under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements or to
commence or participate in a legal proceeding (including without limitation a
bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable or a Liquidating
Receivable. If the Servicer commences or participates in such a legal proceeding
in its own name, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner of
the Receivables pursuant to this Section 3.01, to obtain possession of the
related Financed Vehicle and
4
immediately and without further action on the part of the Owner or the Servicer,
the Owner of such Receivable shall thereupon automatically assign in trust such
Receivable and the security interest in the related Financed Vehicle to the
Servicer for the benefit of the Interested Parties for purposes of commencing or
participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant. Upon such automatic
assignment, the Servicer will be, and will have all the rights and duties of, a
secured party under the UCC and other applicable law with respect to such
Receivable and the related Financed Vehicle. At the Servicer's request from time
to time, the Owner of a Receivable assigned under this Section 3.01 shall
provide the Servicer with evidence of the assignment in trust for the benefit of
the Interested Parties as may be reasonably necessary for the Servicer to take
any of the actions set forth in the following sentence.
(d) The Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner of
a Receivable to execute and deliver in the Servicer's name any notices, demands,
claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in
connection with any such proceeding. Any Owner of Receivables shall furnish the
Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other
steps which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this
Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements. Except to the
extent required by the preceding two sentences, the authority and rights granted
to the Servicer in this Section 3.01 shall be nonexclusive and shall not be
construed to be in derogation of the retention by the Owner of a Receivable of
equivalent authority and rights.
SECTION 3.02 Collection of Receivable Payments. The Servicer shall make
reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall
follow such collection practices, policies and procedures as it follows with
respect to comparable automotive receivables that it services for itself or
others in connection therewith. Except as provided in Section 3.07(a)(iii), the
Servicer is hereby authorized to grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a
Receivable without the prior consent of the Owner of such Receivable. The
Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late
payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of
servicing such Receivable.
SECTION 3.03 Rebates on Full Prepayments on Scheduled Interest
Receivables. If the amount of a full Prepayment by an Obligor under a Scheduled
Interest Receivable, after adjustment for the Rebate, is less than the amount
that would be payable under the actuarial method if a full Prepayment were made
at the end of the billing month under such Scheduled Interest Receivable, either
because the Rebate calculated under the terms of such Receivable is greater than
the amount calculable under the actuarial method or because the Servicer's
customary servicing procedure is to credit a greater Rebate, the Servicer, as
part of its servicing duties, shall remit such difference to the Owner of such
Receivable.
SECTION 3.04 Realization Upon Liquidating Receivables. The Servicer shall
use reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary practices, policies and
procedures, to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any
Financed Vehicle that it has reasonably determined should be repossessed or
otherwise converted following a default under the Receivable secured by the
Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is authorized to follow such customary practices,
policies and procedures as it follows with respect to comparable automotive
5
receivables that it services for itself or others, which customary practices,
policies and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any
recourse to Dealers, selling the related Financed Vehicle at public or private
sale and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a
Receivable. The Servicer is hereby authorized to exercise its discretion
consistent with its customary practices, policies and procedures and the terms
of this Agreement, in servicing Liquidating Receivables so as to maximize the
realization of those Liquidating Receivables. The Servicer shall not be liable
for any such exercise of its discretion to sell or not to sell such Liquidating
Receivables made in good faith. The foregoing is subject to the provision that,
in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the
Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the
repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its
discretion that such repair and/or repossession shall increase the proceeds of
liquidation of the related Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of
such expenses. The Servicer shall be entitled to receive Liquidation Expenses
with respect to each Liquidating Receivable at such time as the Receivable
becomes a Liquidating Receivable (or as may otherwise be provided in the Further
Transfer and Servicing Agreements).
SECTION 3.05 Maintenance of Insurance Policies. The Servicer shall, in
accordance with its customary practices, policies and procedures, require that
each Obligor shall have obtained physical damage insurance covering the Financed
Vehicle as of the execution of the related Receivable. The Servicer shall, in
accordance with its customary practices, policies and procedures, monitor such
physical damage insurance with respect to each Receivable.
SECTION 3.06 Maintenance of Security Interests in Vehicles. The Servicer
shall, in accordance with its customary practices, policies and procedures and
at its own expense, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of
the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed
Vehicle. The Owner of each Receivable hereby authorizes the Servicer to
re-perfect such security interest on behalf of such Owner, as necessary because
of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle, or for any other reason.
SECTION 3.07 Covenants, Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. As
of the Closing Date, the Servicer hereby makes the following representations,
warranties and covenants on which ▇▇▇▇ relies in accepting the Receivables
hereunder and pursuant to the related First Step Receivables Assignment, and on
which the Issuer shall rely in accepting such Receivables and executing and
delivering the Securities under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements.
(a) The Servicer covenants that from and after the closing
hereunder:
(i) Liens in Force. Except as contemplated in this Agreement
or the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, the Servicer shall not release
in whole or in part any Financed Vehicle from the security interest securing the
related Receivable;
(ii) No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair
the rights or security interest of ▇▇▇▇ or any Interested Party in and to the
Purchased Property; and
6
(iii) No Modifications. The Servicer shall not amend or
otherwise modify any Receivable such that the Amount Financed, the Annual
Percentage Rate, the total number of Scheduled Payments (in the case of a
Scheduled Interest Receivable) or the number of originally scheduled due dates
(in the case of a Simple Interest Receivable), is altered or such that the last
Scheduled Payment (in the case of a Scheduled Interest Receivable) or the last
scheduled due date (in the case of a Simple Interest Receivable) occurs after
the Final Scheduled Distribution Date.
(b) Upon the execution of this Agreement and the Further Transfer
and Servicing Agreements, the Servicer represents and warrants to the Issuer and
▇▇▇▇ that as of the Closing Date, in addition to the representations and
warranties in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 being true:
(i) Organization and Good Standing. The Servicer has been duly
organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
state of incorporation, with power and authority to own its properties and to
conduct its business as such properties are presently owned and such business is
presently conducted, and had at all relevant times, and now has, power,
authority and legal right to service the Receivables as provided herein and in
the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements;
(ii) Due Qualification. The Servicer 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 (including the servicing of the
Receivables) requires or shall require such qualification;
(iii) Power and Authority. The Servicer has the power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Further Transfer and
Servicing Agreements and to carry out the terms of such agreements; and the
Servicer's execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Further
Transfer and Servicing Agreements have been duly authorized by the Servicer by
all necessary corporate action;
(iv) Binding Obligation. The Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements and this Agreement, when duly executed and delivered, shall
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Servicer enforceable
in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by general
principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law;
(v) No Violation. The consummation by the Servicer of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Further Transfer and
Servicing Agreements, and the fulfillment by the Servicer of the terms hereof
and thereof, shall not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms
and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a
default under, the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Servicer, or any
indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the
Servicer is a party or by which it is bound, or result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any
such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or
7
other instrument, other than this Agreement and the Further Transfer and
Servicing Agreements, or violate any law or, to the best of the Servicer's
knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court
or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other
governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or any of its
properties; and
(vi) No Proceedings. To the Servicer's knowledge, there are no
proceedings or investigations pending, or threatened, before any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental
instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its properties (A)
asserting the invalidity of this Agreement and the Further Transfer and
Servicing Agreements or any Securities issued thereunder, (B) seeking to prevent
the issuance of such Securities or the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, or (C) seeking
any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect this
Agreement, the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under, or the
validity or enforceability of, the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements.
SECTION 3.08 Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Covenant. Upon
discovery by any of the Servicer, ▇▇▇▇ or any party under the Further Transfer
and Servicing Agreements of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in
Sections 3.06 and 3.07(a), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the others. As of the last day of the second Monthly
Period following its discovering or receiving notice of such breach (or, at the
Servicer's election, the last day of the first Monthly Period so following), the
Servicer shall, unless it shall have cured such breach in all material respects,
purchase from the Owner thereof any Receivable materially and adversely affected
by such breach as determined by such Owner and, on the related Distribution
Date, the Servicer shall pay the Administrative Purchase Payment, and shall be
entitled to receive the Released Administrative Amount, if any. It is understood
and agreed that the obligation of the Servicer to purchase any Receivable with
respect to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such
obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Servicer for
such breach available to ▇▇▇▇ or any Interested Party.
SECTION 3.09 Basic Servicing Fee; Additional Servicing Fee; Payment of
Certain Expenses by Servicer. The Servicer is entitled to receive the Basic
Servicing Fee and the Additional Servicing Fee out of collections in respect of
the Receivables and other available funds, as and to the extent set forth in the
Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements. The Servicer shall also be entitled
to Investment Earnings as, and to the extent, set forth in the Further Transfer
and Servicing Agreements. Subject to any limitations on the Servicer's liability
under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, the Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities
under this Agreement and under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements
(including fees and disbursements of the Issuer, any trustees and independent
accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with
distributions and reports to holders of Securities and all other fees and
expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement or the Further Transfer and
Servicing Agreements to be for the account of the holders of Securities).
8
SECTION 3.10 Servicer's Accounting. On each Determination Date under a
Further Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall deliver to each of
the trustees and other applicable parties under the Further Transfer and
Servicing Agreements and to ▇▇▇▇ and the Rating Agencies a Servicer's Accounting
with respect to the immediately preceding Monthly Period executed by the
President or any Vice President of the Servicer containing all information
necessary to each such party for making any distributions required by the
Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, and all information necessary to each
such party for sending any statements required under the Further Transfer and
Servicing Agreements. Receivables to be purchased by the Servicer under Sections
3.08 or 5.04 or to be repurchased by ▇▇▇▇ or GMAC under the Further Transfer and
Servicing Agreements as of the last day of any Monthly Period shall be
identified by Receivable number (as set forth in the Schedule of Receivables).
With respect to any Receivables for which ▇▇▇▇ is the Owner, the Servicer shall
deliver to ▇▇▇▇ such accountings relating to such Receivables and the actions of
the Servicer with respect thereto as ▇▇▇▇ may reasonably request.
SECTION 3.11 Application of Collections. For the purposes of this
Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, no later than each
Distribution Date all collections for the related Monthly Period shall be
applied by the Servicer as follows:
(a) With respect to each Scheduled Interest Receivable (other than
an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable), payments by or on behalf
of the Obligor that are not Supplemental Servicing Fees shall be applied first
to reduce outstanding advances of shortfalls in collections, if any, made
pursuant to the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements with respect to such
Receivable. Next, the amount of any such payments that are not Supplemental
Servicing Fees and are in excess of such advances with respect to such
Receivable shall be applied to the Scheduled Payment with respect to such
Receivable. Any amount of such payments remaining after the applications
described in the preceding two sentences constitutes an Excess Payment with
respect to such Receivable, and such Excess Payment (to the extent it does not
constitute a Payment Ahead) shall be applied to prepay such Receivable. If the
amounts applied under the first two sentences of this Section 3.11(a) shall be
less than the Scheduled Payment, whether as a result of any extension granted to
the Obligor or otherwise, then the Deferred Prepayment, if any, with respect to
such Receivable shall be applied by the Servicer to the extent of the shortfall,
and such Deferred Prepayment shall be reduced accordingly.
(b) With respect to all Simple Interest Receivables (other than
Administrative Receivables and Warranty Receivables), payments by or on behalf
of the Obligors that are not Supplemental Servicing Fees shall be applied first
to the payment to the Servicer of Excess Simple Interest Collections, if any,
and next to principal and interest on all such Simple Interest Receivables.
(c) With respect to a Scheduled Interest Receivable or a Simple
Interest Receivable that is also an Administrative Receivable and Warranty
Receivable, payments by or on behalf of the Obligor shall be applied in the same
manner as set forth in Section 3.11(a) or Section 3.11(b), as applicable, except
that any Released Administrative Amount or Released Warranty Amount shall be
remitted to the Servicer or ▇▇▇▇, as applicable. In the case of a Scheduled
Interest Receivable, a Warranty Payment shall be applied first to reduce any
advances described in Section 3.11(a); and then the remaining amount of such
Warranty Payment or an
9
Administrative Purchase Payment, as applicable, shall be applied to the
Scheduled Payment, in each case to the extent that the payments by or on behalf
of the Obligor shall be insufficient to pay such amount, and then to prepay such
Receivable in full. In the case of a Simple Interest Receivable, a Warranty
Payment or an Administrative Purchase Payment, as applicable, shall be applied
to principal and interest on such Receivable.
ARTICLE IV

(1) is secured by a Financed Vehicle, was originated in
the United States by GMAC or one of its subsidiaries or a Dealer for the retail
sale of a Financed Vehicle in the ordinary course of business, was fully and
properly executed by the parties thereto, if not originated by GMAC, was
purchased by GMAC from one of its subsidiaries or from such Dealer under an
existing Dealer Agreement, and was validly assigned by such subsidiary or such
Dealer to GMAC in accordance with its terms,
(2) has created or shall create a valid, binding and
enforceable first priority security interest in favor of GMAC in the Financed
Vehicle, which security interest is assignable by GMAC to ▇▇▇▇,
(3) contains customary and enforceable provisions such
as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for
realization against the collateral of the benefits of the security,
(4) is a Scheduled Interest Receivable or a Simple
Interest Receivable,
(5) provides for level monthly payments which may vary
from one another by no more than $5, which shall amortize the Amount Financed by
maturity and shall yield interest at the Annual Percentage Rate,
(6) has an original term of not less than six months and
not greater than 72 months and a remaining term of not less than six months, and
(7) at least one monthly payment has been made.
(ii) Receivables. In addition to the characteristics set forth
in Section 4.01(a)(i) above, each Receivable (1) has a first scheduled payment
due date on or after June 1,
10
1999 (2) has a final scheduled payment that is due no later than April 15, 2011
(3) was originated on or after May 1, 1999 and (4) as of the Cutoff Date, was
not considered past due (that is, no payments due on that Receivable in excess
of $25 were more than thirty (30) days delinquent), and was not a Liquidating
Receivable.
In addition, Scheduled Interest Receivables represent (based on
Principal Balances) 35.38% of the Aggregate Amount Financed, with the balance of
the Receivables being Simple Interest Receivables.
(b) Creation, Perfection and Priority of Security Interests. The
representations and warranties regarding creation, perfection and priority of
security interests in the Purchased Property, which are attached to this
Agreement as Appendix B, are true and correct to the extent that they are
applicable;
(c) Schedule of Receivables. The information set forth in the
Schedule of Receivables is true and correct in all material respects, and no
selection procedures believed to be adverse to ▇▇▇▇ or to holders of the
Securities issued under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements were
utilized in selecting the Receivables from those receivables of GMAC that meet
the selection criteria set forth in this Agreement;
(d) Compliance With Law. All requirements of applicable federal,
state and local laws, and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation,
usury laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act,
the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇
Warranty Act, the Federal Reserve Board's Regulations "B" and "Z", the
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act of 2003, the Texas Consumer Credit Code, and
state adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer
Credit Code and other consumer credit laws and equal credit opportunity and
disclosure laws, in respect of any of the Receivables and other Purchased
Property, have been complied with in all material respects, and each Receivable
and the sale of the Financed Vehicle evidenced thereby complied at the time it
was originated or made and now complies in all material respects with all legal
requirements of the jurisdiction in which it was originated or made;
(e) Binding Obligation. Each Receivable represents the genuine,
legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of the Obligor thereon,
enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by
equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law;
(f) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Immediately prior to the
sale, transfer and assignment thereof pursuant hereto and the First Step
Receivables Assignment, each Receivable was secured by a validly perfected first
priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of GMAC as secured
party or all necessary and appropriate action had been commenced that would
result in the valid perfection of a first priority security interest in the
Financed Vehicle in favor of GMAC as secured party;
11
(g) Receivables In Force. No Receivable has been satisfied,
subordinated or rescinded, and the Financed Vehicle securing each such
Receivable has not been released from the lien of the related Receivable in
whole or in part;
(h) No Waiver. Since the Cutoff Date no provision of a Receivable
has been waived, altered or modified in any respect;
(i) No Defenses. No right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or
defense has been asserted or threatened with respect to any Receivable;
(j) No Liens. To the best of GMAC's knowledge: (1) there are no
liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting any
Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable that are or may be liens prior to, or
equal or coordinate with, the security interest in the Financed Vehicle granted
by the Receivable; (2) no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any
Benefit Plan which is sufficient to give rise to a lien under Section 302 (f) of
ERISA with respect to any Receivable; and (3) no tax lien has been filed and no
claim related thereto is being asserted with respect to any Receivable;
(k) Insurance. Each Obligor is required to maintain a physical
damage insurance policy of the type that GMAC requires in accordance with its
customary underwriting standards for the purchase of automotive receivables;
(l) Good Title. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned
or pledged by GMAC to any Person other than ▇▇▇▇; immediately prior to the
conveyance of the Receivables pursuant to this Agreement and the First Step
Receivables Assignment, GMAC had good and marketable title thereto, free of any
Lien; and, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by GMAC, ▇▇▇▇ shall
have all of the right, title and interest of GMAC in and to the Receivables, the
unpaid indebtedness evidenced thereby and the collateral security therefor, free
of any Lien;
(m) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable was originated in, or is
subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction the laws of which would make unlawful
the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable under this Agreement, the
Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture, as applicable;
(n) All Filings Made. All filings (including, without limitation,
UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give ▇▇▇▇ a first priority
perfected ownership interest in the Receivables shall have been made;
(o) One Original. There is only one original executed copy of each
Receivable;
(p) No Documents or Instruments. No Receivable, or constituent part
thereof, constitutes a "negotiable instrument" or "negotiable document of title"
(as such terms are used in the UCC); and
(q) No Amendment. No Receivable has been amended or otherwise
modified such that the total number of the Obligor's Scheduled Payments (in the
case of a Scheduled
12
Interest Receivable) or the number of originally scheduled due dates (in the
case of a Simple Interest Receivable) has been increased or such that the Amount
Financed has been increased.

capacity as the seller of the Receivables hereunder and in its capacity as

the extent that any provision of Sections 5.02 through 5.04 of this Agreement
conflicts with any provision of the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements,
the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements shall govern.
SECTION 5.02 Protection of Title.
(a) Filings. GMAC shall authorize and execute, as applicable, and
file such financing statements and cause to be authorized and executed, as
applicable, and filed such continuation and other statements, all in such manner
and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and
protect the interest of ▇▇▇▇ under this Agreement and the First Step Receivables
Assignment in the Receivables and the other Purchased Property and in the
proceeds thereof. GMAC shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to ▇▇▇▇
file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided
above, as soon as available following such filing GMAC hereby authorizes ▇▇▇▇
and its assigns to file all such financing statements without its signature.
(b) Name Change. GMAC shall not change its state of organization or
its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would, could or
might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by GMAC, ▇▇▇▇
or CARI's assigns in accordance with Section 5.02(a) seriously misleading within
the meaning of the UCC, unless it shall have given ▇▇▇▇ at least sixty (60) days
prior written notice thereof.
(c) Executive Office; Maintenance of Offices. GMAC shall give ▇▇▇▇
at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of any relocation of its principal
executive office if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions

financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement. GMAC
shall at all times maintain each office from which it services Receivables and
its principal executive office within the United States of America.
(d) New Debtor. In the event that GMAC shall change the jurisdiction

result in a "new debtor" (as defined in the UCC) succeeding to the obligations
of GMAC hereunder, GMAC shall comply fully with the obligations of Section
5.02(a).
SECTION 5.03 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances
hereunder and under the First Step Receivables Assignment and as contemplated by

the Owner thereof, and upon payment of such amount, GMAC shall have such rights
with respect to such Receivable as if GMAC had purchased such Receivable from
the Issuer as the Owner thereof. It is understood and agreed that the obligation
of GMAC to repurchase any Receivable as to which a breach has occurred and is

as a result of the failure of a Receivable to be originated in compliance with

APPENDIX B
Additional Representations and Warranties
1. While it is the intention of GMAC and ▇▇▇▇ that the transfer and
assignment contemplated by this Agreement and the First Step Receivables
Assignment shall constitute sales of the Purchased Property from GMAC to
▇▇▇▇, this Agreement, the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the
Indenture create a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in
the applicable UCC) in the Purchased Property in favor of ▇▇▇▇, the Trust
and the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, which security interest is prior
to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and
purchasers from GMAC, ▇▇▇▇ and the Issuer, respectively.
2. All steps necessary to perfect GMAC's security interest against each
Obligor in the property securing the Purchased Property have been taken.
3. Prior to the sale of the Purchased Property to ▇▇▇▇ under this Agreement,
the Receivables constitute "tangible chattel paper" within the meaning of
the applicable UCC.
4. GMAC owns and has good and marketable title to the Purchased Property free
and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.
5. GMAC has caused or will have caused, within ten (10) 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 Purchased Property granted to ▇▇▇▇ hereunder, the
Issuer under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture
Trustee under the Indenture.
6. Other than the security interest granted to ▇▇▇▇ pursuant to the Basic
Documents, the Issuer under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the
Indenture Trustee under the Indenture none of GMAC, ▇▇▇▇ or the Issuer has
pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise
conveyed any of the Purchased Property. None of GMAC, ▇▇▇▇ or the Issuer
has authorized the filing of, nor is GMAC aware of, any financing
statements against GMAC, ▇▇▇▇ or the Issuer that include a description of
collateral covering the Purchased Property other than the financing
statements relating to the security interests granted to ▇▇▇▇, the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee under the Basic Documents or any financing
statement that has been terminated. GMAC is not aware of any judgment or
tax lien filings against GMAC, ▇▇▇▇ or the Issuer.
7. GMAC, as Servicer, has in its possession all original copies of the
Receivables Files and other documents that constitute or evidence the
Receivables and the Purchased Property. The Receivables Files and other
documents that constitute or evidence the Purchased Property do not have
any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or
otherwise conveyed to any Person other than ▇▇▇▇.
