(ii) The Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in

-4-

which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business shall require such qualifications.

(iii) The Depositor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms; the Depositor has full power and authority to transfer and assign the property to be transferred and assigned to and deposited with the Trust and the Depositor has duly authorized such transfer and assignment and deposit to the Trust by all necessary corporate action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary corporate action.

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

(v) To the Depositor’s best knowledge, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or threatened before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties: (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (C) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement.

SECTION 2.11 [Reserved]

SECTION 2.12 Federal Income Tax Allocations; Tax Treatment. (a) If the Residual Interest is held by more than one Person or the Trust is recharacterized as a separate entity the net income of the Trust for any month as determined for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated:

(1) first, to the holder(s) of interests in the Residual Interest as of the close of business on the last day of such month, in proportion to their interests in the Residual Interest, any amounts of income payable in respect of the Residual Interest for such month; and

(2) second, to the holder(s) of interests in the Residual Interest, and to other holders of interests in the Reserve Account, to the extent of any remaining net income, in accordance with their respective interest therein.

-5-

If the net income of the Trust for any month is insufficient for the allocations described in subclause (a)(1), subsequent net income shall first be allocated to make up such shortfall before being allocated as provided in the preceding sentence. Net losses of the Trust, if any, for any month as determined for federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated to the Depositor or other holders of interests in the Reserve Account to the extent the Depositor or other holders of interests in the Reserve Account are reasonably expected to bear the economic burden of such net losses, and any remaining net losses shall be allocated to any other holder of an interest in the Residual Interest as of the close of business on the last day of such month in proportion to such Person’s interest in the Residual Interest on such day. The Depositor is authorized to modify the allocations in this paragraph if necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, for the allocations to fairly reflect the economic income, gain or loss to the Depositor or other holders of interests in the Reserve Account, or as otherwise required by the Code.

(b) All “excess nonrecourse liabilities” represented by all outstanding Notes issued by the Trust, as well as the deductions attributable thereto, shall be allocated one hundred percent to the Depositor in accordance with Treasury Regulations section 1.752-3(a)(3). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Residual Interest is held solely by one Person or the Trust has not been recharacterized as a separate entity, the application of clause (a) and this clause (b) shall be disregarded.

(c) It is the intent of the parties hereto that, solely for purposes of federal income, state and local income, franchise and single business tax and any other taxes measured in whole or in part by income, until the Residual Interest is held by more than one Person, the Trust will be disregarded as an entity separate from its beneficial owner and the Notes will be treated as debt of the Depositor. If the Residual Interest is held by more than one Person, it is the intention of the parties hereto that, solely for purposes of federal income, state and local income, franchise and single business tax and any other taxes measured in whole or in part by income, the Trust shall be treated as a partnership and the Residual Interestholder(s) and the Depositor shall be treated as partners in that partnership with the assets of the partnership being the Receivables and other assets held by the Trust, and the Notes being debt of that partnership. The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, until the Residual Interest is held by more than one Person, the Trust will not file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the Trust as an entity separate from its beneficial owner.

SECTION 2.13 Administrative Duties.

(a) Duties with Respect to the Specified Agreements. The Depositor shall perform the duties of the Trust under the Indenture and the Note Depository Agreement (collectively the “Specified Agreements”). In addition, the Depositor shall consult with the Owner Trustee as the Depositor deems appropriate regarding the duties of the Trust under the Specified Agreements. The Depositor shall monitor the performance of the Trust’s duties and shall advise the Owner Trustee when action is necessary to comply with the Trust’s duties under the Specified Agreements. The Depositor shall prepare for execution by the Owner Trustee or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Trust to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to

-6-

the Specified Agreements. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Depositor shall take all necessary action that is the duty of the Trust to take pursuant to Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 3.09, 3.14, 3.19, 6.08 and 7.03 of the Indenture.

(b) Duties with Respect to the Trust.

(i) In addition to the duties of the Depositor set forth in the Basic Documents, but subject to the terms of the Basic Documents, the Depositor shall perform such calculations and shall prepare for execution by the Trust or the Owner Trustee or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Trust or the Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to state and federal tax and securities laws and shall take all other appropriate action that it is the duty of the Trust or the Owner Trustee to take pursuant to the Basic Documents relating to the preparation and filing of tax returns, the furnishing of documents and with respect to supplements and amendments of the Specified Agreements. In accordance with the request of the Owner Trustee but subject to the terms of the Basic Documents, the Depositor shall administer, perform or supervise the performance of such other activities in connection with the Basic Documents as are not covered by any of the foregoing provisions and as are expressly requested by the Owner Trustee and are reasonably within the capability of the Depositor.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents to the contrary, the Depositor shall be responsible for promptly notifying the Owner Trustee in the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s payments (or allocations of income) to the Residual Interestholder. Any such notice shall be in writing and specify the amount of any withholding tax required to be withheld by the Owner Trustee.

(c) Records. The Depositor shall maintain appropriate books of account, including capital accounts, and records relating to the Trust, which books of account and records shall be accessible for inspection by the Owner Trustee at any time during normal business hours.

(d) Additional Information to be Furnished to the Trust. The Depositor shall furnish to the Owner Trustee from time to time such additional information regarding the Trust or the Basic Documents as the Owner Trustee shall reasonably request.

SECTION 2.14 [Reserved].

ARTICLE III

Residual Interest

SECTION 3.01 Ownership. The Residual Interest shall represent an undivided ownership interest in the Trust. The Depositor shall be the initial holder of the Residual Interest. The Residual Interest shall not be certificated, shall not have a principal balance and shall not bear interest except, on the Closing Date, the Depositor may transfer and cause the Residual Interest to be issued to Capitol View LLC, a special purpose, bankruptcy-remote affiliate of the Depositor, and Capitol View LLC or any subsequent transferee may transfer the Residual

-7-

Interest to (a) any special purpose bankruptcy remote Affiliate, (b) any other Affiliate (other than the Transferor or its subsidiaries) or (c) to any other Person provided that in the case of clause (c), a “bring down” Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered to the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee with respect to opinions delivered on the Closing Date addressing certain Bank insolvency matters and true sale. The Depositor or other transferor shall provide notice of such transfer to the Owner Trustee together with payment details contemplated by Section 5.03. The Depositor shall not sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer the Residual Interest. Any amendment to this Agreement which would change the foregoing shall be subject to the condition that the Depositor shall retain at least 1/10th of 1% of the Residual Interest.

SECTION 3.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Owner Trustee shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies outside of New York where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Residual Interest and the Basic Documents may be served.

ARTICLE IV

Actions By Owner Trustee

SECTION 4.01 Prior Notice to the Residual Interestholder with Respect to Certain Matters. With respect to the following matters, the Owner Trustee shall not take action unless, at least 30 days before the taking of such action, the Owner Trustee shall have notified the Residual Interestholder in writing of the proposed action and the Residual Interestholder shall not have notified the Owner Trustee in writing prior to the 30th day after such notice is given that the Residual Interestholder has withheld consent or provided alternative direction:

(a) the initiation of any claim or lawsuit by the Trust (except claims or lawsuits brought in connection with collection of the Receivables) and the compromise of any action, claim or lawsuit brought by or against the Trust (except with respect to the aforementioned claims or lawsuits brought in connection with collection of the Receivables);

(b) the amendment of the Indenture by a supplemental indenture in circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is required;

(c) the amendment of the Indenture by a supplemental indenture in circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is not required and such amendment materially adversely affects the interests of the Residual Interestholder; or

(d) the appointment pursuant to the Indenture of a successor Note Registrar or Indenture Trustee, or the consent to the assignment by the Note Registrar or Indenture Trustee of its obligations under the Indenture.

SECTION 4.02 Action by the Residual Interestholder with Respect to Certain Matters. The Owner Trustee shall not have the power, except upon the direction of the Residual Interestholder, to remove the Servicer under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement pursuant to

-8-

Section 8.01 thereof or, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, to sell the Receivables after the termination of the Indenture. The Owner Trustee shall take the actions referred to in the preceding sentence only upon written instructions signed by the Residual Interestholder.

SECTION 4.03 [Reserved].

SECTION 4.04 Restrictions on the Residual Interestholder’s Power. The Residual Interestholder shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take or to refrain from taking any action if such action or inaction would be contrary to any obligation of the Trust or the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.03, nor shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction, if given.

ARTICLE V

Application Of Trust Funds; Certain Duties

SECTION 5.01 Residual Interest Distribution Account. The Owner Trustee, for the benefit of the Residual Interestholder, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trust an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Residual Interest Distribution Account” or “Residual Interestholder Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Residual Interestholder.

The Owner Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Residual Interest Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Residual Interest Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Residual Interestholder. If, at any time, the Residual Interest Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Owner Trustee (or the Depositor 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 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Residual Interest Distribution Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Residual Interest Distribution Account.

SECTION 5.02 Application of Trust Funds. (a) On each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee shall distribute to the Residual Interestholder amounts, if any received from the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Payment Date or received pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Indenture.

(b) On each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee shall send to the Residual Interestholder the statement or statements provided to the Owner Trustee by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Payment Date.

(c) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s payment (or allocations of income) to a Residual Interestholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Residual Interestholder in accordance with this Section. The Owner Trustee

-9-

is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Residual Interestholder’s sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Residual Interestholder shall be treated as cash distributed to the Residual Interestholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S. Residual Interestholder), the Owner Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (c).

SECTION 5.03 Method of Payment. Subject to Section 9.01(c), distributions required to be made to Residual Interestholder on any Payment Date shall be made to the Residual Interestholder either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Residual Interestholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if the Residual Interestholder shall have provided to the Owner Trustee appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date or, if not, by check mailed to the Residual Interestholder at the address of the Residual Interestholder determined in accordance with Section 11.04.

SECTION 5.04 No Segregation of Moneys; No Interest. Moneys received by the Owner Trustee hereunder need not be segregated in any manner except to the extent required by law or the Basic Documents and may be deposited under such general conditions as may be prescribed by law, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for any interest thereon.

SECTION 5.05 Accounting and Reports to the Residual Interestholder, Internal Revenue Service and Others. Subject to Section 2.12, the Depositor shall (a) maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the Trust on a calendar year basis and the accrual method of accounting, (b) prepare and deliver to the Residual Interestholder during such calendar year, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, and not later than the latest date permitted by law, such information as may be required (including Schedule K-1) to enable the Residual Interestholder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns, (c) prepare and file such tax returns relating to the Trust (including a partnership information return, IRS Form 1065) 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 Trust’s characterization as a disregarded entity if there is only one Residual Interestholder, or, if there is more than one Residual Interestholder, as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, (d) cause such tax returns to be signed in the manner required by law and (e) collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with Section 5.02(c) with respect to income or distributions to the Residual Interestholder. The Owner Trustee shall elect under Section 1278 of the Code to include in income currently any market discount that accrues with respect to the Receivables. The Owner Trustee shall take the position with respect to the Trust (if there is more than one holder of the Residual Interest) that the Trust is a “securitization partnership” and shall not make the election provided under Section 754 of the Code unless it is required to make such election pursuant to the judgment or opinion of a court having jurisdiction over the Trust or pursuant to a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service.

-10-

SECTION 5.06 Signature on Returns; Tax Matters Partner. (a) Subject to Section 2.12, the Owner Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust the tax returns of the Trust, unless applicable law requires the Depositor to sign such documents, in which case such documents shall be signed by the Depositor.

(b) The Depositor shall be designated the “tax matters partner” of the Trust pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7)(A) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations.

ARTICLE VI

Authority And Duties Of Owner Trustee

SECTION 6.01 General Authority. The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be a party and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to be a party and, in each case, in such form as the Depositor shall approve, as evidenced conclusively by the Owner Trustee’s execution thereof. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized, but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required of the Trust pursuant to the Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee is further authorized from time to time to take such action as the Depositor recommends with respect to the Basic Documents.

SECTION 6.02 General Duties. It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which the Trust is a party and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Residual Interestholder, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties under the Basic Documents to the extent the Depositor has agreed to perform them pursuant to Section 2.13 of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.03 Action upon Instruction. (a) Subject to Article IV and to the other terms of the Basic Documents, the Residual Interestholder may by written instruction direct the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the Residual Interestholder pursuant to Article IV.

(b) The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by 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 other Basic 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 under any other Basic Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Residual Interestholder requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Residual Interestholder, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person.

(a) 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 Owner 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;

(b) No trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and

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

-19-

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.

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