SECTION 2.2. Office. The office of the Issuer shall be in care of the Owner Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office or at such other address as the Owner Trustee may designate by written notice to each Certificateholder, the Depositor and the Administrator.

SECTION 2.3. Purposes and Powers. The purpose of the Issuer is, and the Issuer shall have the power and authority, to engage in the following activities:

(a) to issue the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the Certificates pursuant to this Agreement, and to sell, transfer and exchange the Notes and the Certificates and to pay interest on and principal of the Notes to the Noteholders and to make distributions to the Certificateholders;

(b) to acquire the property and assets set forth in the Sale Agreement from the Depositor pursuant to the terms thereof, to make deposits to and withdrawals from the Collection Account, the Principal Distribution Account, the Certificate Distribution Account and the Reserve Account and to pay the organizational, start-up and transactional expenses of the Issuer;

(d) to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party;

(e) to engage in those activities, including entering into agreements, that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith; and

(f) subject to compliance with the Transaction Documents, to engage in such other activities as may be required in connection with conservation of the Trust Estate and the making of distributions to the Certificateholders and payments to the Noteholders.

Each of the Owner Trustee and the Administrator, as applicable, is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing activities on behalf of the Issuer. Neither the Issuer nor any Person acting on behalf of the Issuer shall engage in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing or other than as required or authorized by the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents or in any other document, neither the Issuer nor the Owner Trustee (nor any agent of either person) shall be authorized or empowered to acquire any other investments, reinvest any proceeds of the Issuer or engage in activities other than the foregoing, and, in particular neither the Issuer nor the Owner Trustee (nor any agent of either person) shall be authorized or empowered to do anything that would cause the Issuer to fail to qualify as a fixed investment trust described in Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(c) that is treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code.

SECTION 2.4. Appointment of the Owner Trustee. The Depositor hereby appoints the Owner Trustee as trustee of the Issuer effective as of the date hereof, to have all the rights, powers and duties set forth herein.

SECTION 2.5. Initial Capital Contribution of Trust Estate. As of the date of the Original Trust Agreement, the Depositor sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed and set over to the Owner Trustee the sum of $1. The Owner Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt in trust from the Depositor, as of such date, of the foregoing contribution, which shall constitute the initial Trust Estate and shall be deposited in the Collection Account.

SECTION 2.6. Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it will hold the Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to the obligations of the Issuer under the Transaction Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Issuer



	2

constitute a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust Statute and that (i) this Agreement constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust and (ii) for United States federal, state and local income, franchise and value added tax purposes, the Issuer shall be treated as a fixed investment trust described in Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(c) that is treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code, with the assets of the Issuer constituting the Receivables and other assets held by the Issuer, and the Notes constituting non-recourse debt of the Certificateholder(s), provided that if it is successfully asserted by the appropriate tax authorities that the Issuer is not properly characterized as a fixed investment trust described in Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(c) that is treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code, the Issuer shall be treated, for United States federal, state and local income, franchise and value added tax purposes, as (A) a disregarded entity if there is only one beneficial owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the Certificates and any Notes that are treated as equity in the Issuer, or (B) a partnership (other than an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation) if there is more than one beneficial owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the Certificates and any Notes that are treated as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the Issuer, with the assets of the partnership being the Receivables and other assets held by the Issuer, the partners of the partnership being the Certificateholders and the holders of the Notes that are treated as equity in the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the remaining Notes constituting indebtedness of the partnership. The parties hereto and each Certificateholder, by acceptance of a Certificate, agree to treat the Issuer in accordance with the intention that the Issuer be characterized as a fixed investment trust described in Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(c) that is treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code and, unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities or by law, not to take any action or, direct any other party to take any action, inconsistent therewith, including, but not limited to, modifying, or directing any other party to modify, the terms of a Receivable unless the modification is a Permitted Modification. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) the purpose of the Issuer shall be to protect and conserve the assets of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall not at any time engage in or carry on any kind of business for U.S. federal income tax purposes or any kind of commercial activity and (ii) the Issuer and Owner Trustee (upon direction from the Certificateholder) (and any agent of either person) shall take, or refrain from taking, all such action as is necessary to maintain the status of the Issuer as a fixed investment trust described in Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(c) that is treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, neither the Issuer nor the Owner Trustee (nor any agent of either person) shall (1) acquire any assets or dispose of any portion of the Issuer other than pursuant to the specific provisions of this Agreement, (2) vary the investment of the Issuer within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(c) or (3) substitute new investments or reinvest so as to enable the Issuer to take advantage of variations in the market to improve the investment of any Certificateholder. The provisions of this Trust Agreement shall be interpreted consistent with and to further this intention of the parties. The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Issuer will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary tax returns, reports and other forms consistent with the foregoing characterization of the Issuer for United States federal, state and local income, franchise and value added tax purposes. No election will be made by or on behalf of the Issuer to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set forth herein and, to the extent not inconsistent herewith, in the Statutory Trust Statute with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Issuer. The Owner Trustee has heretofore filed the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as required by Section 3810(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute, such filing hereby being ratified and approved in all respects. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Statutory Trust Statute to the contrary, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Issuer constitute a “business trust” within the meaning of Section 101(9)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code.

SECTION 2.7. Organizational Expenses; Liabilities of the Holders.

(a) The Servicer shall pay organizational expenses of the Issuer as they may arise.

(b) No Certificateholder (including the Depositor if the Depositor becomes a Certificateholder) shall have any personal liability for any liability or obligation of the Issuer.

SECTION 2.8. Title to the Trust Estate. Legal title to all the Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Issuer as a separate legal entity.



	3

SECTION 2.9. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee that:

(a) Existence and Power. The Depositor is a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has, in all material respects, all power and authority required to carry on its business as now conducted. The Depositor has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Depositor to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of each Transaction Document to which it is a party (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Depositor and (ii) do not contravene or constitute a default under (A) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (B) its organizational instruments or (C) any material agreement, contract, order or other instrument to which it is a party or its property is subject (other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations, indenture or agreements which do not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated by, or the Depositor’s ability to perform its obligations under, the Transaction Documents to which it is a party).

(c) No Consent Required. No approval, authorization or other action by, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings which have previously been made and (iii) approvals, authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Depositor to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(d) Binding Effect. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Depositor is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of limited liability companies from time to time in effect or by general principles of equity or other similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

(e) No Proceedings. There is no Proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Depositor, threatened against the Depositor which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Depositor, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Depositor to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the Depositor, or which would render invalid this Agreement or the Receivables or the obligations of the Depositor contemplated herein, or which would materially impair the ability of the Depositor to perform under the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

SECTION 2.10. Situs of Issuer. The Issuer shall be located in the State of Delaware (it being understood that the Issuer may have bank accounts located and maintained outside of Delaware).

SECTION 2.11. Covenants of the Certificateholders. Each Certificateholder, by becoming an owner of a Certificate and beneficial owner of the Issuer, hereby acknowledges and agrees (a) that the Certificateholder is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement, to which the Certificateholder agrees to be bound; and (b) that it shall not take any position in such Certificateholder’s tax returns inconsistent with Section 2.6 herein and Section 2.15 of the Indenture.

ARTICLE III

CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF CERTIFICATES

SECTION 3.1. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Issuer and until the issuance of the Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Issuer and, upon the issuance of the initial Certificate, the Depositor will no longer be a beneficiary of the Issuer, except to the extent that the Depositor is a Certificateholder.

SECTION 3.2. Authorization of the Certificates. Concurrently with the sale of the Transferred Assets to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale Agreement, at the direction of the Depositor, (a) a single Book-Entry Certificate shall be executed by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and authenticated and delivered in the name of Cede & Co. or (b) a single Definitive Certificate shall be executed by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the written order of the Depositor. Each Certificate will be issued in the form of a typewritten certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Certificates shall represent, in the aggregate, 100% of the Percentage Interest in the Issuer and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be fully paid and nonassessable.

SECTION 3.3. Book-Entry Certificates.

(a) Each of the Certificates will be issued in the form of one or more typewritten certificates, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as initial agent for the Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer; provided, however, that, upon payment in full of principal and interest on the Notes, the Indenture Trustee (or such other Person that is then the Paying Agent) will transfer, upon written request of the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, any such certificates it is then holding to the Owner Trustee, as agent for the Clearing Agency. The Book-Entry Certificates shall be issued in an aggregate nominal principal amount of $100,000 (which shall be deemed to be the equivalent of 100,000 units, with $1 of principal amount the equivalent of 1 unit), and all beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be owned, in the minimum principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Issuer shall not issue any Certificate that would cause the aggregate nominal principal amount of all Certificates to exceed $100,000, or 100,000 units, without the prior written consent of all Certificateholders. No distributions of moneys to the Certificateholders under the Transaction Documents shall be deemed to reduce the nominal principal amount of any Certificate prior to payment in full of all Notes; provided, however, that the final aggregate $100,000 distributed to the Certificateholders under the Transaction Documents upon final distribution of the Trust Estate and termination of the Issuer pursuant to Sections 9.1 and 9.2 shall be deemed to repay the aggregate nominal principal amount of the Certificates in full; provided, further, that any failure to pay in full the nominal principal amount of a Certificate on such final distribution date shall not result in any recourse to, claim against or liability of any Person for such shortfall. Any amounts payable to the Certificateholders on or in respect of the Certificates under the Transaction Documents shall be paid and allocated to the various Certificateholders ratably based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificateholder will receive a Definitive Certificate representing such Certificateholder’s interest in such Certificate, except as provided in Section 3.5. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates ( “Definitive Certificates”) are issued pursuant to Section 3.5:

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

(ii) the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Agreement (including the payment of amounts payable under the Transaction Documents and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Certificateholders, and shall have no obligation to the Certificate Owners;



	5

(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall control;

(iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and/or agreement between or among such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants or Persons acting through Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.5, the initial Clearing Agency shall make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments due under the Transaction Documents with regard to the Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants;

(v) whenever this Agreement requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Certificateholders representing a specified percentage of the Certificate Percentage Interest, the Clearing Agency shall deliver instructions to the Owner Trustee only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Certificate 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 Certificates;

(vi) owners of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Certificate will not be entitled to have any portion of a Book-Entry Certificate registered in their names and will not be considered to be the Certificate Owners or Certificateholders of any Certificates under this Trust Agreement; and

(vii) payments on a Book-Entry Certificate will be made to the Clearing Agency or its nominee as the registered owner thereof and none of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Book-Entry Certificate or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Book-Entry Certificate remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Clearing Agency, transfers of a Book-Entry Certificate, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with Section 3.3(a). Subject to clauses (i)-(iii) of Section 3.3(a), transfers of a Book-Entry Certificate shall be limited to transfers of such Book-Entry Certificate in whole, but not in part, to a nominee of the Clearing Agency or to a successor of the Clearing Agency or such successor’s nominee.

In the event that a Book-Entry Certificate is exchanged for one or more Definitive Certificates pursuant to Section 3.5, such Certificates may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and with such procedures as may be from time to time adopted by the Issuer and the Owner Trustee.

SECTION 3.4. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.5, the Owner Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Certificateholders to the Clearing Agency and shall have no obligation to the Certificate Owners.



	6

SECTION 3.5. Definitive Certificates.

(a) If (i) the Depositor advises the Owner Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Certificates, and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Owner Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Certificate Owners and the Owner Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates representing the Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Owner Trustee of the typewritten Certificate or Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by re-registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Owner Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Certificates representing the Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Certificate Registrar or the 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 Definitive Certificates representing the Certificates, the Owner Trustee shall recognize such Holders of the Definitive Certificates as the applicable Certificateholders.

(b) Subject to the transfer restrictions contained herein and in the Certificates, any Holder of a Certificate may transfer all or any portion of the Percentage Interest (subject to the requirements set forth in Sections 3.3 and 3.7) evidenced by such Certificate upon surrender thereof to the Owner Trustee, and with such signature guarantees and evidence of authority of the Person signing the instrument of transfer as the Owner Trustee may reasonably require, and accompanied by the documents required by this Article III. Promptly upon the receipt of such documents and receipt by the Owner Trustee of the transferor’s Certificate, the Owner Trustee shall record the name of the transferee as a Certificateholder and its Percentage Interest in the Certificate Register and issue, execute and deliver to such Certificateholder a Certificate evidencing such Percentage Interest. In the event a transferor transfers only a portion of its Percentage Interest, the Owner Trustee shall register and issue to such transferor a new Certificate evidencing such transferor’s new Percentage Interest and shall issue, execute and deliver to the transferee a new Certificate evidencing such transferee’s Percentage Interest. Subsequent to each transfer of a beneficial interest and upon the issuance of the new Certificate or Certificates, the Owner Trustee shall cancel and destroy in accordance with its customary practices the Certificate surrendered to it in connection with such transfer. The Owner Trustee may treat, for all purposes whatsoever (other than as required under applicable law), the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the sole owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by such Certificate without regard to any notice to the contrary.

Definitive Certificates will not be eligible for clearing or settlement through DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream.

SECTION 3.6. Registration of the Certificates. The Owner Trustee, as an agent of the Issuer, in its capacity as “Certificate Registrar” (the “Certificate Registrar”) shall maintain at its office referred to in Section 2.2, or at the office of any agent appointed by it and approved in writing by the Certificateholders at the time of such appointment, a register (the “Certificate Register”) for the registration and transfer of any Certificate, and the Owner Trustee or such agent shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of any change in the registered ownership of a Certificate. Prior to the due presentment to the Certificate Registrar for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Owner Trustee, and the Certificate Registrar or any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar and the Indenture Trustee (or any agent of any such party) may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered (as of the applicable Record Date) as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions on such Certificate and for all other purposes whatsoever. For the avoidance of doubt, a Certificate is not negotiable and the records maintained by the Certificate Registrar in the Certificate Register with respect to each Certificate and its related registered owner are intended to cause the Certificates to be issued in registered form, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 5f.103-1(c), and shall record (a) the Percentage Interest evidenced by each Certificate and (b) all distributions made to each Certificateholder with respect to the Issuer’s assets.

SECTION 3.7. Transfer of the Certificates.

(a) A Certificateholder may assign, convey or otherwise transfer all or any of its right, title and interest in the related Certificate. Each purchaser and transferee of a Definitive Certificate will be required to provide a Certificate Investor Representation Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B and each purchaser and transferee of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to represent and warrant:

(i) (a) such transferee is either an Affiliate of the Depositor or (b) (1) is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, (2) is aware that the sale of the Certificates (other than a sale of the Certificates by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates as part of the initial distribution or any redistribution of the Certificates by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates) to it is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A, and (3) is acquiring the Certificates for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and as to each of which the owner exercises sole investment discretion or for resale pursuant to Rule 144A;

(ii) such transferee understands that the Certificates will bear the applicable legends substantially as set forth in Section 3.7(g);

(iii) such transferee understands that the Certificates are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act, none of the Certificates have been or will be registered under the Securities Act, and, if in the future the transferee decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Certificates, such Certificates may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred solely in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable legend or legends on such Certificates. The transferee acknowledges that no representation is being made by the Issuer as to the availability of any exemption under the Securities Act or any applicable State securities laws for resale of the Certificates;

(iv) such transferee understands that an investment in the Certificates involves certain risks, including the risk of loss of all or a substantial part of its investment under certain circumstances. The transferee has had access to such financial and other information concerning the Issuer and the Certificates as it deemed necessary or appropriate in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to its purchase of the Certificates. The transferee has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the transferee is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Certificates, and the transferee and any accounts for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of such investment;

(v) such transferee will not make any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or take any other action that would constitute a distribution of the Certificates under the Securities Act or that would render the disposition of the Certificates a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws or require registration pursuant thereto, and will not authorize any Person to act on its behalf, in such manner with respect to the Certificates;

(vi) such transferee is not acquiring the Certificates with a view to the resale, distribution or other disposition thereof in violation of the Securities Act;

(vii) such transferee will provide notice to each Person to whom it proposes to transfer any interest in the Certificates of the transfer restrictions and representations set forth in this Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto;

(viii) such transferee is not acquiring such Certificate (or any interest therein) on behalf of or with any assets of (i) a Benefit Plan, or (ii) any governmental plan, non-U.S. plan, church plan or any other employee benefit plan or arrangement that is subject to Similar Law;



	8

(ix) such transferee acknowledges that the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, the Initial Certificate Purchaser and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the acknowledgements, representations, warranties and agreements in this Section 3.7 and agrees that if any of the acknowledgements, representations, warranties or agreements made by it in connection with its purchase of the Certificates are no longer accurate, the transferee will promptly notify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Depositor; and

(x) such transferee acknowledges that in connection with the transfer of the Certificates (a) none of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Initial Certificate Purchaser or the Owner Trustee is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser for the transferee, (b) the transferee is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the Initial Certificate Purchaser, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Owner Trustee other than in the most current private placement memorandum for such Certificates and any representations expressly set forth in a written agreement with such party, (c) none of the Initial Certificate Purchaser, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Owner Trustee has given to the transferee (directly or indirectly through any other Person, in any documentation for the Certificates or otherwise) any assurance, guarantee or representation whatsoever as to the expected or projected success, profitability, return, performance, result, effect, consequence or benefit (including legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of its purchase of the Certificates, (d) the transferee has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial, and accounting advisers to the extent it has deemed necessary and it has made its own investment decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any transaction pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisers as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the Initial Certificate Purchaser, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, (e) the transferee has determined that the rates, prices or amounts and other terms of the purchase and sale of the applicable Certificates reflect those in the relevant market for similar transactions, (f) the transferee is purchasing the Certificates with a full understanding of all of the terms, conditions and risks thereof (economic and otherwise), and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) these risks and (g) the transferee is a sophisticated investor familiar with transactions similar to its investment in the Certificates.

By accepting and holding a Certificate (or any interest therein), the Holder shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not, and is not purchasing the Certificate (or any interest therein) on behalf of or with any assets of, a Benefit Plan or any governmental, non-U.S., church or any other employee benefit plan or retirement arrangement that is subject to Similar Law. Subject to the transfer restrictions contained herein and in the Certificates, any Certificateholder may transfer all or any portion of the Percentage Interest evidenced by such Certificate upon surrender thereof to the Owner Trustee accompanied by the documents required by this Section. Such transfer may be made by the registered Certificateholder in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing upon surrender of the Certificate to the Owner Trustee accompanied by (a) a written instrument of transfer in the form of the “Assignment” attached to the Form of Certificate (attached hereto as Exhibit A) and with such signature guarantees and evidence of authority of the Persons signing the instrument of transfer as the Owner Trustee may reasonably require; provided, however, that the Owner Trustee shall not require the signature of the Depositor to be medallion guaranteed for the transfers from the Depositor to the applicable transferees on the date hereof, (b) an executed direction letter regarding registration of such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, (c) the documents required by Section 3.7(c) and (d) a Certificate Investor Representation Letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Promptly upon the receipt of such documents and receipt by the Owner Trustee of the transferor’s Certificate, the Owner Trustee shall record the name of such transferee as a Certificateholder and its Percentage Interest in the Certificate Register and issue, execute and deliver to such Certificateholder a Certificate evidencing such Percentage Interest. In the event a transferor transfers only a portion of its Percentage Interest, the Owner Trustee shall issue, execute and deliver to such transferor a new Certificate evidencing such transferor’s new Percentage Interest. Subsequent to a transfer of a Percentage Interest and upon the related issuance of the new Certificate or Certificates, the Owner Trustee shall cancel and destroy the Certificate surrendered to it in connection with such transfer. Unless otherwise provided in this Section 3.7 or under applicable



	9

law, the Owner Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the sole owner of the beneficial interest in the Issuer evidenced by such Certificate.

(b) As a condition precedent to any registration of transfer under this Section 3.7, the Owner Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover the payment of any tax or taxes or other governmental charges required to be paid in connection with such transfer.

(c) Each registered owner of and, if different, each owner of a beneficial interest in, a Certificate that is a “United States person” (as defined in Code section 7701(a)(30)) shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and the Certificate Paying Agent two properly completed and duly executed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) certifying that it is not subject to backup withholding and that it is a U.S. person. Each registered owner of and, if different, each owner of a beneficial interest in, a Certificate that is not a “United States person” shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and the Certificate Paying Agent two properly completed and duly executed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (Certification of Foreign Status as Beneficial Owner), IRS Form W-8BEN-E (Certificate of Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Withholding and Reporting (entities)), IRS Form W-8IMY (Certification of Foreign Intermediary Status) or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certification of Foreign Person’s Claim for Exemption from Withholding on Income Effectively Connected with Conduct of a U.S. Trade or Business), or any applicable successors to such IRS forms or other reasonable information or certification requested by the Owner Trustee, the Administrator or the Certificate Paying Agent (i) to permit the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and the Certificate Paying Agent to make payments to the registered owner of, and if different, each owner of a beneficial interest in, a Certificate without withholding or deduction (including any FATCA Withholding Tax), (ii) to enable the Issuer to qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which the Issuer receives payments on its assets, or (iii) to enable the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and the Certificate Paying Agent to satisfy any reporting or other obligations under any applicable tax law (including FATCA), and will update or replace such form, certification or other information as necessary in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments. The applicable Internal Revenue Service forms and information required to be delivered, as described above, shall be delivered on or prior to the date on which a Certificateholder and, if different, a Certificate Owner becomes a Certificateholder or Certificate Owner under this Agreement and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by applicable law or upon the request of the Certificate Paying Agent.

(d) Each registered owner of, and, if different, each owner of a beneficial interest in, a Certificate represents to the Issuer and Owner Trustee by acceptance of this Certificate or interest therein that it is not and will not become subject to any FATCA Withholding Tax.

(e) Each purchaser, beneficial owner and subsequent transferee of Certificates or an interest therein will be required or deemed to acknowledge that the Issuer may provide such information and any other information concerning its investment in the Certificates to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. In addition, each purchaser, beneficial owner and subsequent transferee of Certificates or an interest therein will be required or deemed to understand and acknowledge that the Issuer has the right, hereunder, to withhold on any beneficial owner of an interest in a Certificate that fails to comply with the foregoing requirements.

(f) No transfers shall be permitted if such transfer is effected through an established securities market or secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of the Code Section 7704 and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury regulations thereunder.

(g) Each Certificate shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, unless the Depositor determines otherwise in accordance with applicable law:



	10

REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED (THE “INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT”). THIS CERTIFICATE OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, EXCEPT (A) (1) TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER”) WHO IS EITHER PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A OR (2) TO THE DEPOSITOR OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES AND BY THE DEPOSITOR OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES AS PART OF THE INITIAL DISTRIBUTION OR ANY REDISTRIBUTION OF THE CERTIFICATES BY THE DEPOSITOR OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES AND (B) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION. EACH PURCHASER WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT. ANY TRANSFER IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING WILL BE OF NO FORCE AND EFFECT, WILL BE VOID AB INITIO, AND WILL NOT OPERATE TO TRANSFER ANY RIGHTS TO THE TRANSFEREE, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CONTRARY TO THE ISSUER, THE OWNER TRUSTEE, OR ANY INTERMEDIARY. IF AT ANY TIME, THE ISSUER DETERMINES OR IS NOTIFIED THAT THE HOLDER OF SUCH CERTIFICATE OR PERCENTAGE INTEREST IN SUCH CERTIFICATE WAS IN BREACH, AT THE TIME GIVEN, OF ANY OF THE REPRESENTATIONS SET FORTH IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT, THE ISSUER AND THE OWNER TRUSTEE MAY CONSIDER THE ACQUISITION OF THIS CERTIFICATE OR SUCH INTEREST IN SUCH CERTIFICATE VOID AND REQUIRE THAT THIS CERTIFICATE OR SUCH INTEREST HEREIN BE TRANSFERRED TO A PERSON DESIGNATED BY THE ISSUER.

BY ACQUIRING THIS CERTIFICATE, EACH PURCHASER AND TRANSFEREE WILL BE DEEMED TO REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT IT IS NOT ACQUIRING THIS CERTIFICATE (OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN) ON BEHALF OF OR WITH ANY ASSETS OF (I) AN “EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN” AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3(3) OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”), WHICH IS SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF ERISA, (II) A “PLAN” AS DESCRIBED BY SECTION 4975(e)(1) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”), WHICH IS SUBJECT TO SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE, (III) ANY ENTITY DEEMED TO HOLD THE PLAN ASSETS OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING BY REASON OF SUCH EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN’S OR PLAN’S INVESTMENT IN THE ENTITY, OR (IV) ANY GOVERNMENTAL, CHURCH, NON-U.S. OR OTHER PLAN THAT IS SUBJECT TO ANY FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. LAW THAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO TITLE I OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE.

(h) If a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee has actual knowledge that (1) a transfer or attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate or interest therein was consummated in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.7 on the basis of a materially incorrect certification from the transferor or purported transferee, (2) a transferee of a Definitive Certificate failed to deliver to the Owner Trustee a Certificate Investor Representation Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto or (3) the Certificateholder of any Certificate or interest therein is in material breach of any representation or agreement set forth in any Certificate or any deemed representation or agreement of such Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee will direct the Certificate Registrar not to register such attempted or purported transfer and, if a transfer has been registered, such transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall not operate to transfer any rights to the purported transferee (such purported transferee, a “Disqualified Transferee”) and the last preceding Certificateholder of such Certificateholder that was not a Disqualified Transferee shall be restored to all rights as a Certificateholder thereof retroactively to the date of the purported transfer of such Certificate by such Certificateholder.

(i) After the Closing Date, a Certificate (or beneficial interest therein) may not be sold or transferred to a Person that beneficially owns a Note (or interest therein) if such sale or transfer will result in such Person beneficially owning more than 99% of the Certificates of the Issuer (and any other interest in the Issuer treated as equity for United States federal income tax purposes).



	11

SECTION 3.8. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Certificates. If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Owner Trustee, or (ii) the Owner Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction that any Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, and upon proof of ownership satisfactory to the Owner Trustee together with such security or indemnity as may be requested by the Owner Trustee to save it and the Issuer harmless, the Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver a new Certificate for the same Percentage Interest as the Certificate so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, of like tenor and bearing a different issue number, with such notations, if any, as the Owner Trustee shall determine. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.8, the Issuer or Owner Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the Certificate and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Issuer, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. The provisions of this Section 3.8 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.

SECTION 3.9. Appointment of the Certificate Paying Agent. To the extent Definitive Certificates have been issued, the Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.1 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee and the Servicer; provided, however, that no such reports shall be required so long as the Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor is the sole Certificateholder. Any Certificate 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. The Owner Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Certificate Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. The Certificate Paying Agent shall initially be Citibank and any co-paying agent chosen by the Certificate Paying Agent. Citibank shall be permitted to resign as Certificate Paying Agent upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Owner Trustee. If Citibank shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent, the Owner Trustee or Administrator shall appoint a successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Owner Trustee or Administrator shall cause such successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee or Administrator to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee a written agreement in which such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that, as Certificate Paying Agent, such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate 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. Subject to applicable laws with respect to the escheat of funds, the Certificate Paying Agent shall return all funds that have remained unclaimed by a Certificateholder for two years to the Owner Trustee and, upon removal of a Certificate Paying Agent, such Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all funds (including any unclaimed funds) in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The rights, protections, indemnities and immunities of the Owner Trustee under this Agreement shall apply to the Owner Trustee also in its role as Certificate Paying Agent or Certificate Registrar for so long as the Owner Trustee shall act as Certificate Paying Agent or Certificate Registrar and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent, certificate registrar or authenticating agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

SECTION 3.10. Maintenance of Office or Agency. As long as any of the Certificates remain outstanding, the Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served. The Issuer hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate Registrar for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Owner Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Owner Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the applicable Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Owner Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

The Owner Trustee shall have no duty to commence a voluntary Proceeding in bankruptcy unless the Owner Trustee shall have been furnished (at the expense of the Person that requested such letter be furnished to the Owner Trustee) a letter from an independent accounting firm of national reputation stating that in the opinion of such firm the Issuer is then insolvent (the “Insolvency Confirmation”). The Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable to any Noteholder or Certificateholder on account of the Owner Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Section and an Insolvency Confirmation and no Noteholder or Certificateholder shall have any claim for breach of fiduciary duty or otherwise against the Owner Trustee for giving or withholding its consent to any such voluntary Proceeding in bankruptcy.

SECTION 4.5. Acts of Certificateholders; Majority Control.

Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Certificateholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and (subject to Article VI) conclusive in favor of the Owner Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

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

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

On each Payment Date to the extent Definitive Certificates have been issued, the Certificate Paying Agent shall withdraw from the Certificate Distribution Account and distribute to the Certificateholders, pro rata based on the Percentage Interest of each Certificateholder, all funds received in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and this Agreement. Subject to the Lien of the Indenture and Section 5.5 of this Agreement, the Certificate Paying Agent shall promptly distribute to the Certificateholders all other amounts (if any) received by the Certificate Paying Agent on behalf of the Issuer in respect of the Trust Estate (pro rata based on the Percentage Interest of each such Certificateholder). After the termination of the Indenture in accordance with its terms, the Certificate Paying Agent shall distribute all amounts received (if any) by the Issuer and the Owner Trustee in respect of the Trust Estate at the direction of the Certificateholders.

SECTION 5.2. Method of Payment. Subject to the Indenture, distributions required to be made to the Certificateholders on any Payment Date and all amounts received by the Issuer or the Owner Trustee on any other date that are payable to the Certificateholders pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be made to the Certificateholders by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of each Certificateholder designated by such Certificateholder to the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee in writing.

SECTION 5.3. Reports by Owner Trustee to Certificateholders.



	14

(a) The Owner Trustee shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and shall sign pursuant to the power granted thereto pursuant to Section 2.4, on behalf of the Issuer, the Issuer’s tax returns, if any, unless applicable law requires a Certificateholder to sign such documents.

(b) The Owner Trustee, shall (a) maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the Issuer on a calendar year basis and the accrual method of accounting, (b) deliver (or cause to be delivered) to each Certificateholder such information in its possession hereunder that is customarily provided to a Certificateholder to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns and any further information reasonably requested by such Certificateholder to the extent such information is reasonably obtainable, and may be required to enable each Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns, (c) prepare (or cause to be prepared), file (or cause to be filed) such tax returns relating to the Issuer (including, if applicable, a trust return IRS Form 1041, reporting for widely held fixed investment trusts under Treasury Regulations Section 1.671-5, or a partnership information return, IRS Form 1065 if the Issuer is treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) and make such elections as from time to time may be required or appropriate under any applicable state or federal statute or any rule or regulation thereunder so as to maintain the Issuer’s tax characterization as described in Section 2.6 hereof, (d) cause applicable 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 Section 5.5 and in accordance with Section 5.1 with respect to income or distributions to Certificateholders.

(c) The Depositor shall cause to be provided to the Owner Trustee upon its reasonable request from time to time such information and documentation as may be available to the Depositor (including without limitation Servicer’s Reports) to enable the Owner Trustee to perform its obligations under this Section 5.3.

SECTION 5.4. Certificate Distribution Account. The Certificate Distribution Account shall be established pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Indenture. The Certificateholders shall possess all beneficial right, title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and all proceeds thereof. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Indenture, the Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Certificate Paying Agent for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Owner Trustee (or the Servicer on behalf of the Owner Trustee, if the Certificate Distribution Account is not then held by the Owner Trustee or an Affiliate thereof) shall within ten (10) Business Days establish a new Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Account and shall transfer any cash then on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account to such new Certificate Distribution Account.

SECTION 5.5. Withholding. In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer’s payment (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder. The Owner Trustee and Certificate Paying Agent are hereby authorized and directed, and the Indenture Trustee is authorized pursuant to Section 3.3(c) of the Indenture, to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally payable by the Issuer (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee or Certificate Paying Agent from contesting any such tax in an appropriate Proceeding and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such Proceeding). 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 the Issuer and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to any distribution (such as any distribution to a non-U.S. Person), the Owner Trustee or Certificate Paying Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 5.5 and the Indenture Trustee may withhold such amounts in accordance with Section 3.3(c) of the Indenture.

SECTION 5.6. No Reinvestment. The Certificate Paying Agent shall distribute all amounts collected in respect of the assets of the Issuer and neither the Certificate Paying Agent nor the Owner Trustee shall apply any such amounts toward the purchase of additional assets on behalf of the Issuer; provided, however, that such amounts may be invested in Permitted Investments selected in writing by the Servicer but only until the next Payment Date (and only



	15

where such investments mature on or prior to such Payment Date without a disposition thereof prior to maturity), when they shall be distributed.

SECTION 5.7. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Transaction Document, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to execute, deliver or certify in accordance with the provisions of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act on behalf of the Issuer or any other Person, any periodic reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, or any other documents pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to perform any of the obligations of the Issuer under any Transaction Document that are required to be performed by the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.3. Action upon Instruction.

(a) Subject to Article IV, and in accordance with the Transaction Documents, each of the Certificateholders and the Administrator may, by written instruction, direct the Owner Trustee in the management of the Issuer. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the Certificateholders pursuant to Article IV.

(b) Subject to Section 7.1, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any Transaction Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined or been advised by



	16

counsel that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any Transaction Document or is otherwise contrary to law.

(c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any Transaction Document or is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction 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 the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholders or the Administrator requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted or application of such provision, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Majority Certificateholders or the Administrator (or, if specifically required hereunder, all Certificateholders) received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action or inaction to any Person. If the 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 Transaction 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.

(d) The Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable for any distribution made in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 9.1(b).

SECTION 6.4. No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions. The 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 Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Issuer or the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3; and no implied duties (including fiduciary duties existing at law or in equity) or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any Transaction Document against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or Lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any Commission filing (including any filings required under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act), for the Issuer or to record this Agreement or any Transaction Document. Citibank nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any Liens on any part of the Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, Citibank that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Trust Estate. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for or with respect to the genuineness, value, sufficiency or validity of the Trust Estate.

SECTION 6.5. No Action Except under Specified Documents or Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Trust Estate except (i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Transaction Documents and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3.

SECTION 6.6. Restrictions. The Owner Trustee shall not take any action (a) that is inconsistent with the purposes of the 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 United States federal income, state and local income, franchise and value added 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 the 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 and value added tax purposes or cause the Issuer to be treated as other than a fixed investment trust described in Treasury



	17

Regulation section 301.7701-4(c) that is treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of the Code. Neither the Depositor, the Administrator nor any Certificateholder shall direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 6.7. Relevant Trustee. Following the payment in full of principal and interest on the Notes, the Owner Trustee shall assume the role of Relevant Trustee for purposes of Section 6.1(a) of the Servicing Agreement and Section 7.4 and Article VIII of the Indenture (notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture following payment in full of principal and interest on the Notes), which are incorporated by reference into this Agreement; provided, however, that, for purposes of Section 7.4 of the Indenture, the Owner Trustee shall disseminate the Servicer’s Report in the manner set forth in Section 7.4(b) hereof.

(a) It is a national banking association formed and validly existing in good standing under the federal laws of the United States of America and having its principal place of business within the State of Delaware.



	19

It has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) It has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by it of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be executed and delivered by one of its officers who is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement on its behalf.

(d) Neither the execution nor the delivery by it of this Agreement, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by it with any of the terms or provisions hereof will contravene any federal or Delaware law, governmental rule or regulation governing the banking or trust powers of the Owner Trustee or any judgment or order binding on it, or constitute any default under its charter documents or by-laws.

SECTION 7.7. Reliance; Advice of Counsel.

(a) The Owner Trustee shall incur no personal liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Owner Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any corporate party as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the method of the determination of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Owner Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any vice president or by the treasurer, secretary or other Authorized Officers of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

(b) In the exercise or administration of the trusts hereunder and in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, the Owner Trustee (i) may act directly or through its agents or attorneys pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them, but the Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable for the conduct or misconduct of such agents, custodians, nominees (including Persons acting under a power of attorney) or attorneys selected in good faith and (ii) may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled Persons knowledgeable in the relevant area to be selected in good faith and employed by it at the expense of the Issuer. The Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the written opinion or advice of any such counsel, accountants or other such Persons.

SECTION 7.8. Not Acting in Individual Capacity. Except as provided in this Article VII, in accepting the trusts hereby created, Citibank acts solely as the Owner Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity and all Persons having any claim against the Owner Trustee by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall look only to the Trust Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof.

SECTION 7.9. The Owner Trustee May Own Notes. The Owner Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes. The Owner Trustee may deal with the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator and their respective Affiliates in banking transactions with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Owner Trustee, and the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator and their respective Affiliates may maintain normal commercial banking relationships with the Owner Trustee and its Affiliates.

SECTION 7.12. Other Protections of the Owner Trustee.

(a) The Owner Trustee agrees to perform its duties under this Agreement in good faith and in the best interests of the Issuer, but only upon the express terms of this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the Owner Trustee nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates shall have any implied duties (including fiduciary duties) or liabilities otherwise existing at law or in equity with respect to the Issuer, which implied duties and liabilities are hereby eliminated. Every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Owner Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Article.

The Owner Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or in relation to this Agreement or to honor the request or direction pursuant to this Agreement unless the directing party shall have offered to the Owner Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Owner Trustee against the reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements, advances and liabilities that might be incurred by it, its agents and its counsel in compliance with such request or direction.

(h) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees and, as evidenced by its acceptance of any benefits hereunder, any Certificateholder or Noteholder agrees that the Owner Trustee in any capacity (x) has not provided and will not provide in the future, any advice, counsel or opinion regarding the tax, financial, investment, securities law or insurance implications and consequences of the formation, funding and ongoing administration of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, income, gift and estate tax issues, insurable interest issues, doing business or other licensing matters and the initial and ongoing selection and monitoring of financing arrangements, (y) has not made any investigation as to the accuracy of any representations, warranties or other obligations of the Issuer under the Transaction Documents and shall have no liability in connection therewith and (z) the Owner Trustee has not prepared or verified, and shall not be responsible or liable for, any information, disclosure or other statement in any disclosure or offering document or in any other document issued or delivered in connection with the sale or transfer of the Certificates or the Notes.

The Depositor shall cause the Servicer to agree to pay to Citibank pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Servicing Agreement from time to time compensation for all services rendered by Citibank under this Agreement pursuant to a fee letter between the Servicer and the Owner Trustee (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust). The Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Servicing Agreement and the fee letter between the Servicer and the Owner Trustee, shall reimburse Citibank upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by Citibank in accordance with any provision of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents, experts and counsel as Citibank may employ in connection with the exercise and performance of its rights and its duties hereunder), except any such expense as may be attributable to its willful misconduct, gross negligence (other than an error in judgment) or bad faith.

	22

asserted against Citibank in its individual capacity and as trustee or any Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the Trust Estate, the administration of the Trust Estate or the action or inaction of Citibank hereunder; provided, however, that neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall be liable for or required to indemnify Citibank from and against any of the foregoing expenses or indemnities arising or resulting from (i) its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith, (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 7.6 expressly made by Citibank in its individual capacity, (iii) liabilities arising from the failure of Citibank to perform obligations expressly undertaken by it in the second to last sentence of Section 6.4 or (iv) taxes, fees or other charges on, based on or measured by, any fees, commissions or compensation received by the Owner Trustee.

TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT

SECTION 9.1. Dissolution of Issuer. (a) The Issuer shall wind up and dissolve and this Agreement shall terminate (other than provisions hereof which by their terms survive termination) upon the final distribution by the Issuer and the Certificate Paying Agent of all moneys or other property or proceeds of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Servicing Agreement and Article V hereof. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of a Certificateholder shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Issuer, nor (y) entitle any such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any Proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Issuer or Trust Estate nor (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.

(b) Notice of any dissolution and termination of the Issuer, specifying the Payment Date upon which Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates to the Owner Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given by the Owner Trustee to Certificateholders, and if the Owner Trustee is notified of a redemption of the Notes by the Administrator or the Issuer pursuant to Section 10.1(c) of the Indenture, such notice shall be mailed within five (5) Business Days of the Owner Trustee’s receipt of such notice from the Issuer or Administrator. Each such notice to a Certificateholder shall state (i) the Payment Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Owner Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable and that payments are being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Owner Trustee therein specified. The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if other than the Owner Trustee) and the Certificate Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of each Certificate, the Certificate Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to such Certificateholders, subject to Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute, amounts distributable on such Payment Date pursuant to Article V.

(c) In the event that any of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Owner Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any of the



	23

Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Owner Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any funds remaining in the Trust Estate after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed by the Certificate Paying Agent to the last Certificateholder of record identified in the Certificate Register for each such remaining Certificate.

SECTION 9.2. Termination of Trust Agreement. Upon dissolution of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee shall, at the direction of the Administrator, wind up the business and affairs of the Issuer as required by Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, and receipt of a certificate from the Indenture Trustee stating that all Noteholders have been paid in full and that the Indenture Trustee is aware of no claims remaining against the Issuer in respect of the Indenture and the Notes, the Administrator, in the absence of actual knowledge of any other claim against the Issuer, shall be deemed to have made reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations (including conditional, contingent or unmatured obligations) for purposes of Section 3808(e) of the Statutory Trust Statute. The Certificate Paying Agent, upon surrender of the outstanding Certificates shall distribute the remaining Trust Estate (if any) in accordance with Article V hereof and, at the written direction and expense of the Administrator, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate of Trust to be cancelled by filing a certificate of cancellation with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Statute, at which time the Issuer shall terminate and this Agreement (other than Article VIII) shall be of no further force or effect.

SECTION 9.3. Limitations on Termination. Except as provided in Section 9.1, neither the Depositor nor any Certificateholders shall be entitled to revoke or terminate the Issuer.

SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES AND ADDITIONAL
OWNER TRUSTEES

SECTION 10.1. Eligibility Requirements for the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a bank (i) authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, (ii) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and (iii) subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authorities. If such bank 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 the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.2.

SECTION 10.2. Resignation or Removal of the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Administrator, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and each Certificateholder. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor and the Administrator, acting jointly, 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 Transaction Documents until such successor has in fact assumed such appointment.

If at any time the 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 the Depositor or the Administrator, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or



	24

of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or the Administrator may remove the Owner Trustee. If the Depositor or the Administrator shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor and the Administrator, acting jointly, 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 shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the 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. The Depositor shall provide (or shall cause to be provided) notice of such resignation or removal of the 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 the Depositor, the 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 the 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 the Depositor 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, the Depositor shall mail (or shall cause to be mailed) notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to the Certificateholders, Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and each of the Rating Agencies. If the Depositor shall fail to mail (or cause to be mailed) 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 Depositor.

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 Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15)



	25

days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the 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 the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the 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 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 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 Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the 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) the Depositor and the 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 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 the 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, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and copies thereof given to the Depositor and the Administrator.

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 the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether a co-trustee or separate trustee is legally required in any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may be located.

Re:	Transfer of Huntington Auto Trust 2015-1 Certificates, (the “Certificates”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 3.7 of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of June 10, 2015 (the “Trust Agreement”), between Huntington Funding, LLC, as Depositor (the “Depositor”), Citibank, N.A., as Owner Trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), and Citicorp Trust Delaware, National Association, as Issuer Delaware Trustee (the “Issuer Delaware Trustee”), in connection with the transfer by _________________________ (the “Transferor”) to the undersigned (the “Transferee”) of [__]% Percentage Interest of the Certificates with a nominal principal amount of $[ ]. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Trust Agreement.

In connection with such transfer, the undersigned hereby represents and warrants to you and the addressees hereof as follows:

(i) The Transferee is either (a) an Affiliate of the Depositor or (b) (1) is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, (2) is aware that the sale of the Certificates (other than a sale of the Certificates by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates as part of the initial distribution or any redistribution of the Certificates by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates) to it is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A, and (3) is acquiring the Certificates for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and as to each of which the owner exercises sole investment discretion;

(ii) The Transferee understands that the Certificates will bear a legend to the following effect:

B-1

“THIS CERTIFICATE OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND THE ISSUER HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED (THE “INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT”). THIS CERTIFICATE OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, EXCEPT (A) (1) TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER”) WHO IS EITHER PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A OR (2) TO THE DEPOSITOR OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES AND BY THE DEPOSITOR OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES AS PART OF THE INITIAL DISTRIBUTION OR ANY REDISTRIBUTION OF THE CERTIFICATES BY THE DEPOSITOR OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES AND (B) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION. EACH PURCHASER WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT. ANY TRANSFER IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING WILL BE OF NO FORCE AND EFFECT, WILL BE VOID AB INITIO, AND WILL NOT OPERATE TO TRANSFER ANY RIGHTS TO THE TRANSFEREE, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CONTRARY TO THE ISSUER, THE OWNER TRUSTEE, OR ANY INTERMEDIARY. IF AT ANY TIME, THE ISSUER DETERMINES OR IS NOTIFIED THAT THE HOLDER OF SUCH CERTIFICATE OR PERCENTAGE INTEREST IN SUCH CERTIFICATE WAS IN BREACH, AT THE TIME GIVEN, OF ANY OF THE REPRESENTATIONS SET FORTH IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT, THE ISSUER AND THE OWNER TRUSTEE MAY CONSIDER THE ACQUISITION OF THIS CERTIFICATE OR SUCH INTEREST IN SUCH CERTIFICATE VOID AND REQUIRE THAT THIS CERTIFICATE OR SUCH INTEREST HEREIN BE TRANSFERRED TO A PERSON DESIGNATED BY THE ISSUER.

(iii) The Transferee understands that the Certificates are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act, none of the Certificates have been or will be registered under the Securities Act, and, if in the future the Transferee decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Certificates, such Certificates may only be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred in accordance with the Trust Agreement. The Transferee acknowledges that no representation is being made by the Issuer as to the availability of any exemption under the Securities Act or any applicable State securities laws for resale of the Certificates;

B-2

(iv) The Transferee understands that an investment in the Certificates involves certain risks, including the risk of loss of all or a substantial part of its investment under certain circumstances. The Transferee has had access to such financial and other information concerning the Issuer and the Certificates as it deemed necessary or appropriate in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to its purchase of the Certificates. The Transferee has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Transferee is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Certificates, and the transferee and any accounts for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of its investment;

(v) The Transferee will not make any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or take any other action that would constitute a distribution of the Certificates under the Securities Act or that would render the disposition of the Certificates a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws or require registration pursuant thereto, and will not authorize any Person to act on its behalf, in such manner with respect to the Certificates;

(vi) The Transferee is not acquiring the Certificates with a view to the resale, distribution or other disposition thereof in violation of the Securities Act;

(vii) The transferee will provide notice to each Person to whom it proposes to transfer any interest in the Certificates of the transfer restrictions and representations set forth in the Trust Agreement, including the Exhibits thereto;

(viii) The Transferee agrees that it will not offer or sell, or otherwise transfer the Certificates to any person unless the transferee of the Certificates has executed a Certificate Investor Representation Letter;

(ix) The Transferee is not acquiring the Certificates (or any interest therein) with the assets of (a) an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), which is subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) a “plan” as described by Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (c) any entity deemed to hold the plan assets of any of the foregoing by reason of such employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in the entity or (d) any governmental, church, non-U.S. or other plan that is subject to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code;

(x) The Transferee acknowledges that the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, the Initial Certificate Purchaser and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the acknowledgements, representations, warranties and agreements herein and in the Trust Agreement and agrees that if any of the acknowledgements, representations, warranties or agreements made by it in connection with its purchase of any Certificates are no longer accurate, the Transferee will promptly notify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Depositor;

(xi) The Transferee understands that if Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee becomes aware that (a) a transfer or attempted or purported transfer of any Certificate or interest therein was consummated in compliance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement on the basis of a materially incorrect certification from the Transferor or purported transferee, (b) a transferee failed to deliver to the Owner Trustee a Certificate Investor Representation Letter or (c) the Certificateholder of any Certificate or interest therein is in material breach of any representation or agreement set forth in any certificate or any deemed representation or agreement of such Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee will direct the Certificate Registrar not to register such attempted or purported transfer and, if a transfer has been registered, such transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall not operate to transfer any rights to the purported transferee (such purported transferee, a “Disqualified

B-3

Transferee”) and the last preceding Certificateholder of such Certificateholder that was not a Disqualified Transferee shall be restored to all rights as a Certificateholder thereof retroactively to the date of the purported transfer of such Certificate by such Certificateholder;

(xii) The Transferee acknowledges and agrees that it has complied with the following representations, to the extent applicable:

a. Each registered owner of and, if different, each owner of a beneficial interest in, a Certificate that is a “United States person” (as defined in Code section 7701(a)(30)) shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and the Certificate Paying Agent two properly completed and duly executed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) certifying that it is not subject to backup withholding and that it is a U.S. person. Each registered owner of and, if different, each owner of a beneficial interest in, a Certificate that is not a “United States person” shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and the Certificate Paying Agent two properly completed and duly executed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (Certification of Foreign Status as Beneficial Owner), IRS Form W-8BEN-E (Certificate of Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Withholding and Reporting (entities)), IRS Form W-8IMY (Certification of Foreign Intermediary Status) or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certification of Foreign Person’s Claim for Exemption from Withholding on Income Effectively Connected with Conduct of a U.S. Trade or Business), or any applicable successors to such IRS forms or other reasonable information or certification requested by the Owner Trustee, the Administrator or the Certificate Paying Agent (i) to permit the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and the Certificate Paying Agent to make payments to the registered owner of, and if different, each owner of a beneficial interest in, a Certificate without withholding or deduction (including any FATCA Withholding Tax), (ii) to enable the Issuer to qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which the Issuer receives payments on its assets, or (iii) to enable the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and the Certificate Paying Agent to satisfy any reporting or other obligations under any applicable tax law (including FATCA), and will update or replace such form, certification or other information as necessary in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments. The applicable Internal Revenue Service forms required to be delivered, as described above, shall be delivered on or prior to the date on which a registered owner of, and, if different, each owner of a beneficial interest in, a Certificate becomes a holder of a Certificate and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by applicable law or upon the request of the Certificate Paying Agent.

b. Each registered owner of, and, if different, each owner of a beneficial interest in, a Certificate represents to the Issuer and Owner Trustee by acceptance of this Certificate or interest therein that it is not and will not become subject to any FATCA Withholding Tax.

c. Each purchaser, beneficial owner and subsequent transferee of Certificates or an interest therein will be required or deemed to acknowledge that the Issuer may provide such information and any other information concerning its investment in the Certificates to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. In addition, each purchaser, beneficial owner and subsequent transferee of Certificates or an interest therein will be required or deemed to understand and acknowledge that the Issuer has the right, hereunder, to withhold on any beneficial owner of an interest in a Certificate that fails to comply with the foregoing requirements.

(xiii) The Transferee acknowledges that in connection with the transfer of the Certificates (a) none of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Initial Certificate Purchaser, nor the Owner

B-4

Trustee is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser for the transferee, (b) the transferee is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the Initial Certificate Purchaser, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Owner Trustee other than in the most current private placement memorandum for such Certificates and any representations expressly set forth in a written agreement with such party, (c) none of the Initial Certificate Purchaser, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Owner Trustee has given to the transferee (directly or indirectly through any other person) any assurance, guarantee or representation whatsoever as to the expected or projected success, profitability, return, performance, result, effect, consequence or benefit (including legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of its purchase or the documentation for the Certificates, (d) the transferee has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial, and accounting advisers to the extent it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any transaction pursuant to the Trust Agreement) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisers as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the Initial Certificate Purchaser, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Owner Trustee, (e) the transferee has determined that the rates, prices or amounts and other terms of the purchase and sale of the Certificates reflect those in the relevant market for similar transactions, (f) the transferee is purchasing the Certificates with a full understanding of all of the terms, conditions and risks thereof (economic and otherwise), and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) these risks, and (g) the transferee is a sophisticated investor familiar with transactions similar to its investment in the Certificates.
