In connection with such sales, the Seller agrees to record and file, at its own expense, a financing statement on form UCC-1 (and continuation statements when applicable) with respect to the Receivables now existing and hereafter created for the sale of chattel paper (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC as in effect in any state where the Seller's or the Servicer's chief executive offices or books and records relating to the Receivables are located) 24 meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the sale and assignment of the Receivables and the Collateral Security to the Trust, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filing to the Trustee on or prior to the first Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and (if any additional filing is so necessary) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts. The Trustee shall be under no obligation whatsoever to file such financing statement, or a continuation statement to such financing statement, or to make any other filing under the UCC in connection with such sales. In connection with such sales, the Seller further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the first Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, and the applicable Removal Commencement Date, in the case of Removed Accounts, (a) to indicate in its computer files and to cause CCC and CFC to indicate in their computer files as required by the Receivables Purchase Agreement, that the Receivables Exhibit references contained in this Agreement are references to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits in or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; and the term "including" shall mean "including without limitation". (d) The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such terms.

(d) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the applicable Supplement, the Related Documents and the Certificates, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Supplement and the Related Documents and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof, will not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under, any indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it or its properties are bound. (e) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the applicable Supplement, the Related Documents and the Certificates, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Supplement and the Related Documents and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof applicable to the Seller, will not conflict with or violate any material Requirements of Law applicable to the Seller. (f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or, to the best knowledge of the Seller, investigations pending or threatened against the Seller before any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, the applicable Supplement, any of the Related Documents or the Certificates, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Supplement or the Related Documents, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the Seller, would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Supplement or the Related Documents, (iv) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement and the applicable Supplement, the Related Documents or the Certificates or (v) seeking to affect adversely the income tax attributes of the Trust under the United States Federal or any State income, single business or franchise tax systems. (g) All Consents Required. All appraisals, authorizations, consents, orders, approvals or other actions of any Person or of any governmental body or official required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the applicable Supplement, the Related Documents and the Certificates, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the applicable Supplement and any of the Related Documents, and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof, have been obtained. (h) Enforceability. This Agreement and the applicable Supplement and the Related Documents each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability 27 may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity). (i) Record of Accounts. As of the first Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, as of the applicable Addition Date, in the case of the Additional Accounts, and, as of the applicable Removal Commencement Date, in the case of Designated Accounts, Schedule 1 to this Agreement is an accurate and complete listing in all material respects of all the Accounts as of the Cut-Off Date, the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date or the applicable Removal Commencement Date, as the case may be, and the information contained therein with respect to the identity of such Accounts and the Receivables existing thereunder is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-Off Date, such applicable Additional Cut-Off Date or such Removal Commencement Date, as the case may be. (j) Valid Transfer. This Agreement or, in the case of Additional Accounts, the related Assignment constitutes a valid sale, transfer and assignment to the Trust of all right, title and interest of the Seller in the Receivables and the Collateral Security and the proceeds thereof and all of the Seller's rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to the Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and, upon the filing of the financing statements described in Section 2.01 with the Secretary of State of the State of Michigan and, in the case of the Receivables hereafter created and the proceeds thereof, upon the creation thereof, the Trust shall have a first priority perfected ownership interest in such property, subject to the rights of the Purchased Receivables Owners in any Collateral Security in respect of the Partial Accounts (other than the Vehicles relating to Principal Receivables arising in the Partial Accounts), except for Liens permitted under Section 2.07(a). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither the Seller nor any Person claiming through or under the Seller has any claim to or interest in the Trust Assets. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Trust and the issuance of the Certificates. Upon discovery by the Seller, the Servicer, any Agent or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties, any Agent and to any Enhancement Providers. In the event of any breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 having a material adverse effect on the interests of the Investor Certificateholders, then either the Trustee or the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing not less than a majority in aggregate unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Investor Certificates, by notice then given in writing to the Seller (and to the Trustee, any Enhancement Providers and the Servicer if given by the Investor Certificateholders), may direct the Seller to purchase the Certificateholders' Interest within 60 days of such notice (or within such longer period as may be specified in such notice), and the Seller shall be obligated to make such purchase on a Distribution Date occurring within such 60-day period on the terms and conditions set forth below; provided, however, that no such purchase shall be required to be made if, by the end of 28 such 60-day period (or such longer period as may be specified), the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 shall be satisfied in all material respects, and any material adverse effect on the Certificateholders' Interest caused thereby shall have been cured. The Seller shall deposit in the Collection Account in immediately available funds on the Business Day preceding such Distribution Date, in payment for such purchase, an amount equal to the sum of the amounts specified therefor with respect to each outstanding Series in the related Supplement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such amounts shall be distributed to the Investor Certificateholders on such Distribution Date in accordance with Article IV and the terms of each Supplement. If the Trustee or the Investor Certificateholders give notice directing the Seller to purchase the Certificateholders' Interest as provided above, the obligation of the Seller to purchase the Certificateholders' Interest pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting an event of the type specified in the first sentence of this Section 2.03 available to the Investor Certificateholders (or the Trustee on behalf of the Investor Certificateholders). SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the Receivables. (a) Representations and Warranties. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Trust that: (i) Each Receivable and all Collateral security existing on the first Closing Date or, in the case of Additional Accounts, on the applicable Addition Date, and on each Transfer Date, has been conveyed to the Trust free and clear of any Lien, subject to the rights of the Purchased Receivables Owners in any Collateral Security in respect of the Partial Accounts (other than the Vehicles relating to Principal Receivables arising in the Partial Accounts). (ii) With respect to each Receivable and all Collateral Security existing on the first Closing Date or, in the case of Additional Accounts, on the applicable Addition Date, and on each Transfer Date, all consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by the Seller in connection with the conveyance of such Receivable or Collateral Security to the Trust have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect. (iii) On the Cut-Off Date and each Closing Date, each Initial Account is an Eligible Account and, in the case of Additional Accounts, on the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date and each subsequent Closing Date, each such Additional Account is an Eligible Account. (iv) On the first Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and, in the case of the Additional Accounts; on the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, and on each Transfer Date, each Receivable conveyed to the Trust on such date is an Eligible Receivable or, if such Receivable is not an Eligible Receivable, such Receivable is conveyed to the Trust in accordance with Section 2.09. 29 (b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Trust and the issuance of the Certificates. Upon discovery by the Seller, the Servicer, any Agent or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties and to any Enhancement Providers. (c) Reassignment. In the event any representation or warranty under Section 2.04 (a) is not true and correct as of the date specified therein with respect to any Receivable or Account and such breach has a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders' Interest in any such Receivable or Account, then, within 30 days (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Trustee) of the earlier to occur of the discovery of any such event by the Seller or the Servicer, or receipt by the Seller or the Servicer of written notice of any such event given by the Trustee, any Agent or any Enhancement Providers, the Seller shall accept a reassignment of such Receivable or, in the case of such an untrue representation or warranty with respect to an Account, all Receivables in such Account, on the Determination Date immediately succeeding the day of such discovery or notice on the terms and conditions set forth in the next succeeding paragraph; provided, however, that no such reassignment shall be required to be made with respect to such Receivable if, by the end of such 30-day period (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Trustee), the breached representation or warranty shall then be true and correct in all material respects and any material adverse effect caused thereby shall have been cured. The Seller shall accept a reassignment of each such Receivable by directing the Servicer to deduct, subject to the next sentence, the principal amount of such Receivables from the Pool Balance on or prior to the end of the Collection Period in which such reassignment obligation arises. If, following such deduction, the Seller's Participation Amount would be less than the Trust Available Subordinated Amount on the immediately preceding Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on the Distribution Date following such Determination Date), then not later than 12:00 noon on the day on which such reassignment occurs, the Seller shall deposit in the Collection Account in immediately available funds the amount (the "Transfer Deposit Amount") by which the Seller's Participation Amount would be less than such Trust Available Subordinated Amount (up to the principal amount of such Receivables); provided that if the Transfer Deposit Amount is not deposited as required by this sentence, then the principal amounts of such Receivables shall only be deducted from the Pool Balance to the extent that the Seller's Participation Amount is not reduced below the Trust Available Subordinated Amount and the Receivables the principal amounts of which have not been so deducted shall not be reassigned to the Seller and shall remain part of the Trust. Upon reassignment of any such Receivable, but only after payment by the Seller of the Transfer Deposit Amount, if any, the Trust shall automatically and without further action be deemed to sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Trust in and to such Receivable, all Collateral Security and all moneys due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. The Trustee shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Seller to effect the conveyance of such Receivables pursuant to this Section. The obligation of the Seller to accept a reassignment of any such Receivable and to pay any related Transfer Deposit 30 Amount shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to such obligation available to Certificateholders (or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders). SECTION 2.05. Addition of Accounts. (a) If, as of the close of business on the last day of any Collection Period, (i) the Pool Balance on such day is less than the Required Participation Amount as of the following Distribution Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on such Distribution Date), or (ii) the result obtained by multiplying (x) the Seller's Participation Amount as of the following Distribution Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on such Distribution Date), by (y) the percentage equivalent of the portion of the Seller's Interest represented by the CARCO Certificate, is less than 2% of the Pool Balance on such last day, then the Seller shall, within 10 Business Days following the end of such Collection Period, designate and transfer to the Trust the Receivables (and the related Collateral Security) of additional Eligible Accounts of the Seller to be included as Accounts in a sufficient amount such that after giving effect to such addition (i) the Pool Balance as of the close of business on the Addition Date is at least equal to such Required Participation Amount or (ii) the result obtained by multiplying (x) such Seller's Participation Amount by (y) the percentage equivalent of the portion of the Seller's Interest represented by the CARCO Certificate, is at least equal to 2% of such Pool Balance, as the case may be. The Seller shall satisfy the conditions specified in Section 2.05(d) in designating such Additional Accounts and conveying the related Receivables to the Trust. The failure of the Seller to transfer Receivables to the Trust as provided in this paragraph solely as a result of the unavailability of a sufficient amount of Eligible Receivables shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such failure will nevertheless result in the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event described in Section 9.01(a). (b) The Seller may from time to time, at its sole discretion, subject to the conditions specified in paragraph (d) below, voluntarily designate additional Eligible Accounts (including Partial Accounts) to be included as Accounts and transfer to the Trust the Receivables (and the related Collateral Security) of such Additional Accounts. (c) Receivables and Collateral Security from such Additional Accounts shall be sold to the Trust effective on a date (the "Addition Date") specified in a written notice provided by the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies, any Agent and any Enhancement Providers specifying the Additional Cut-Off Date and the Addition Date for such Additional Accounts (the "Addition Notice") on or before the fifth Business Day but not more than the 30th day prior to the related Addition Date (the "Notice Date"). The Addition Notice shall also specify whether any such Additional Accounts are Partial Accounts. (d) The Seller shall be permitted to convey to the Trust the Receivables and all Collateral Security related thereto in any Additional Accounts designated by the Seller as such pursuant to Section 2.05(a) or (b) only upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to the related Addition Date: (i) the Seller shall have provided the Trustee, any Agent, the Rating Agencies and any Enhancement Providers with a timely Addition Notice; 31 (ii) such Additional Accounts shall all be Eligible Accounts; (iii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee a duly executed written assignment (including an acceptance by the Trustee) in substantially the form of Exhibit B (the "Assignment") and the computer file or microfiche or written list required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01; (iv) the Seller shall, to the extent required by Section 4.03, have deposited in the Collection Account all Collections with respect to such Additional Accounts since the Additional Cut-Off Date; (v) (A) no selection procedures believed by the Seller to be adverse to the interests of the Beneficiaries were used in selecting such Additional Accounts; (B) the list of Additional Accounts delivered pursuant to clause (iii) above is true and correct in all material respects as of the Additional Cut-Off Date and (C) as of each of the Notice Date and the Addition Date, neither CFC, CCC, nor the Seller were insolvent nor will any of them have been made insolvent by such transfer nor are any of them aware of any pending insolvency; (vi) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such addition; (vii) the addition of the Receivables arising in such Additional Accounts shall not result in the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event; (viii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee and any Enhancement Providers a certificate of a Vice President or more senior officer confirming (A) the items set forth in paragraphs (ii) through (vii) above and (B) that the Seller reasonably believes that the addition of the Receivables arising in such Additional Accounts will not result in the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event; and (ix) on or before each Addition Date, the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee and any Enhancement Providers (A) an Opinion of Counsel with respect to the Receivables in the Additional Accounts substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 and (B) except in the case of an addition required by Section 2.05(a), a Tax Opinion with respect to such addition. (e) The Seller hereby represents and warrants as of the applicable Addition Date as to the matters set forth in Section 2.05(d)(v). Upon discovery by the Seller, the Servicer, any Agent, the Trustee or any Enhancement Providers of a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties, to any Agent and to any Enhancement Providers. (f) Unless otherwise agreed to by the Rating Agencies, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller may from time to time, at its discretion, and subject only to the limitations specified in this paragraph, designate Additional Accounts to be added to the Trust. (Additional Accounts designated to be added to the Trust in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05(f) are referred to herein as "Automatic Additional Accounts".) On 32 the Addition Date with respect to any Automatic Additional Accounts, the Trust shall purchase the Receivables in such Automatic Additional Accounts (and such Automatic Additional Accounts shall be deemed to be Accounts for purposes of this Agreement) as of the close of business on the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) such Automatic Additional Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts; (ii) the Seller shall, to the extent required by Section 4.03, have deposited in the Collection Account all Collections with respect to such Automatic Additional Accounts since the Additional Cut-Off Date; (iii) no selection procedures believed by the Seller to be adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders were used in selecting such Automatic Additional Accounts, (iv) as of each of the Additional Cut-Off Date and the Addition Date, no Insolvency Event with respect to DCS or the Seller shall have occurred nor shall the transfer of the Receivables arising in the Automatic Additional Accounts to the Trust have been made in contemplation of the occurrence thereof; (v) the addition of the Receivables arising in the Automatic Additional Accounts shall not cause an early amortization event or any event that, after the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute a early amortization event to occur with respect to any Series; (vi) on or before each Addition Date with respect to Automatic Additional Accounts, the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies (A) an Opinion of Counsel with respect to the Receivables in the Automatic Additional Accounts substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 to this Agreement and (B) a Tax Opinion with respect to such addition; (vii) within ten Business Days of the date on which any such Receivables are added to the Trust, the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee a written assignment and a computer file or a microfiche list containing a true and complete list of the related Automatic Additional Accounts specifying for each such Account its account number, the collection status, the aggregate amount outstanding in such Account and the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables outstanding in such Account; and (viii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate of the Seller, dated the Addition Date, to the effect that conditions (i) through (v) and (vii) above have been satisfied. 33 The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Trust as of the related Addition Date as to the matters relating to it set forth in paragraphs (iii) and (iv) above and that the file or list described below is, as of the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, true and complete in all material respects.

If such Rating Agency confirmation with respect to any Automatic Additional Accounts is not so received, such Automatic Additional Accounts will be removed from the Trust.` SECTION 2.06. Covenants of the Seller. The Seller hereby covenants that: (a) No Liens. Except for the conveyances hereunder or as provided in Section 6.03(c), the Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or (subject to the rights of the Purchased Receivables owners with respect to the Collateral Security arising in the Partial Accounts (other than the Vehicles relating to any Principal Receivables)) suffer to exist any Lien on, any Receivable or any Collateral Security, whether now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein, or the Seller's rights, remedies, powers or privileges with respect to the Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, or the Seller's Interest or the Seller's Certificates and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Trust in, to and under the Receivables and the Collateral Security, whether now existing or hereafter created, and such rights, remedies, powers and privileges, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller. 34 (b) Account Allocations.

(d) In the case of any removal of a Designated Account pursuant to Section 2.07(b), subject to such Section 2.07(b), on the Removal Date with respect to any such Designated Account, the Seller shall cease to allocate any Collections therefrom in accordance with Section 2.07 (b) and such Designated Account shall be deemed removed from the Trust for all purposes (a "Removed Account").

In the case of any removal of a DTS Account, on the DTS Removal Date with respect to any such DTS Account, the Seller shall cease to allocate any Collections therefrom in accordance with this Section 2.07(f) and such DTS Account shall be deemed removed from the Trust for all purposes (also a "Removed Account"). Within five Business Days after the DTS Removal Date, the Trustee shall execute and deliver (but shall have no duty to prepare) to the Seller a Reassignment, together with appropriate UCC financing statements.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall not remove Accounts from the Trust more than once a month. Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, on the Automatic Removal Date all the right, title and interest of the Trust in and to the Receivables arising in the Automatic Removed Accounts, all monies due and to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof shall be deemed removed from the Trust for all purposes and shall be a Removed Account.

The Seller shall sell to the Trust on each Transfer Date any and all Receivables arising in any Eligible Accounts that are Ineligible Receivables, provided that (a) on the Cut-Off Date or, in the case of Receivables arising in Additional Accounts, on the related Additional Cut-Off Date, and on the applicable Transfer Date, the Account in which such Receivables arise is an Eligible Account and (b) the Incremental Subordinated Amount is adjusted in accordance with the definition of Incremental Subordinated Amount. ARTICLE III Administration and Servicing of Receivables SECTION 3.01. Acceptance of Appointment and Other Matters Relating to the Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall service and administer the Receivables, shall collect payments due under the Receivables and shall charge-off as uncollectible Receivables, all in accordance with its customary and usual servicing procedures for servicing wholesale receivables comparable to the Receivables which the Servicer services for its own account and in accordance with the Floorplan Financing Guidelines. The Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through any party properly designated by it hereunder, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 10.01, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered, unless such power and authority is revoked by the Trustee on account of the occurrence of a Service Default pursuant to Section 10.01, (i) to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account and any Series Account as set forth in this Agreement, (ii) to instruct the Trustee to take any action required or permitted under any Enhancement, (iii) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the 43 Certificateholders and the other Beneficiaries, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and, after the delinquency of any Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable Requirements of Law, to commence enforcement proceedings with respect to such Receivables, (iv) to make any filings, reports, notices, applications, registrations with, and seek any consents or authorizations from, the Securities and Exchange Commission and any State securities authority on behalf of the Trust as may be necessary or advisable to comply with any Federal or State securities laws or reporting requirement, and (v) to delegate certain of its servicing, collection, enforcement and administrative duties hereunder with respect to the Accounts and the Receivables to any Person who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with the Floorplan Financing Guidelines and this Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Rating Agencies, any Agent and any Enhancement Providers in writing of any such delegation of its duties which is not in the ordinary course of its business, that no delegation will relieve the Servicer of its liability and responsibility with respect to such duties and that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to any such delegation. The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. (b) In the event that the Seller is unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Trust in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including by reason of the application of the provisions of Section 9.02 or any court of competent jurisdiction ordering that the Seller not transfer any additional Principal Receivables to the Trust) then, in any such event, the Servicer agrees (i) to give prompt written notice thereof to any Enhancement Providers, any Agent and each Rating Agency and (ii) that it shall in any such event allocate after the occurrence of such event, payments on each Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Account, subject to the proviso set forth in Section 2.06(b), and to have such payments applied as Collections in accordance with Section 4.02. The parties hereto agree that Non-Principal Receivables, whenever created, accrued in respect of Principal Receivables which have been conveyed to the Trust shall continue to be a part of the Trust notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer of additional Principal Receivables to the Trust and Collections with respect thereto shall continue to be allocated and paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (c) The Servicer shall not, and any Successor Servicer shall not be obligated to, use separate servicing procedures, offices, employees or accounts for servicing the Receivables from the procedures, offices, employees and accounts used by the Servicer in connection with servicing other wholesale receivables. (d) The Servicer shall comply with and perform its servicing obligations with respect to the Accounts and Receivables in accordance with the Floorplan Financing Agreements relating to the Accounts and the Floorplan Financing Guidelines, except insofar as any failure to so comply or perform would not materially and adversely affect the rights of the Trust or any of the Beneficiaries. Subject to compliance with all Requirements of Law, the Servicer (or DCS) may change the terms and provisions of the Floorplan Financing Agreements or the Floorplan Financing Guidelines in any respect (including the calculation of the amount or the timing of charge-offs and the rate of the finance charge assessed thereon), only if (i) as a result of such 44 change, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer no Early Amortization Event will occur at any time and none of the Enhancement Providers, if any, or the Certificateholders shall be adversely affected, (ii) such change is made applicable to the comparable segment of wholesale accounts owned or serviced by the Servicer which have characteristics the same as, or substantially similar to, the Accounts which are the subject of such change and (iii) in the case of a reduction in the rate of such finance charges, the Servicer (or DCS) does not, reasonably expect any such reduction to result in the Net Receivables Rate for any Collection Period being less than the weighted average of the sum of the Certificate Rates and the Servicing Fee Rates for, all outstanding Series for the related Interest Period (each such term as defined in the related Supplement). SECTION 3.02. Servicing Compensation. As full compensation for its servicing activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses as set forth in the immediately following paragraph, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee on each Distribution Date on or prior to the Trust Termination Date payable in arrears. The "Servicing Fee" shall be the aggregate of the Monthly Servicing Fees specified in the Supplements. The Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Servicer solely to the extent amounts are available for payment in accordance with the terms of the Supplements. The Servicer's expenses include the amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.05 and the reasonable fees and disbursements of independent accountants and all other expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with its activities hereunder, and including all other fees and expenses of the Trust not expressly stated herein to be for the account of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account, and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Servicing Fee. The Servicer will be solely responsible for all fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Servicer in connection herewith and the Servicer will not be entitled to any fee or other payment from, or claim on, any of the Trust Assets (other than the Servicing Fee). SECTION 3.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Servicer.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the applicable Supplement by such party, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Supplement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof applicable to such party will not conflict with, violate, result in any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under, any Requirement of Law applicable to such party or any indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument to which such party is a party or by which it is bound. (vi) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or, to the best knowledge of such party, investigations, pending or threatened against such party before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Supplement, seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of such party, would materially and adversely affect the performance by such party of its obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Supplement, or seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement and the applicable Supplement. (vii) Compliance with Requirements of Law. Such party shall duly satisfy all obligations on its part to be fulfilled under or in connection with the Receivables and the Accounts, will maintain in effect all qualifications required under Requirements of Law in order to service properly the Receivables and the Accounts and will comply in all material respects with all Requirements of Law in connection with servicing the Receivables and the Accounts the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the interests of Beneficiaries. (viii) No Rescission or Cancellation. Such party shall not permit any rescission or cancellation of a Receivable except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority. 46 (ix) Protection of Beneficiaries Rights.

(x) Servicer Concentration Account. The Servicer maintains deposit accounts (collectively, the "Concentration Account") into which it shall deposit all amounts paid by the Dealers under Floorplan Financing Agreements. The Servicer agrees (i) that it will not change this method of collection without the prior written consent of any Enhancement Providers and any Agents; (ii) with respect to amounts deposited into the Concentration Account in respect of a particular day, that it will not transfer such amounts from the Concentration Account until the Servicer has posted all Collections in respect of the Receivables for such day and (iii) concurrently with the transfer of amounts from the Concentration Account in respect of a particular day, the Servicer will make the deposits and transfers required by the terms of this Agreement for such day. (xi) Negative Pledge.

(b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.03 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Trust and the issuance of the Certificates. Upon discovery by the Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.03, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties and to any Enhancement Providers. (c) Purchase. In the event any representation or warranty under Section 3.03(a) (vii), (viii) or (ix) is not true and correct in any material respect as of the date specified therein with respect to any Receivable or Account and such breach has a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders' Interest in such Receivable, then, within 30 days (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Trustee) of the earlier to occur of the discovery of any such event by the Seller or the Servicer, or receipt by the Seller or the Servicer of written notice of any such event given by the Trustee or any Enhancement Providers, the Servicer shall purchase such Receivable or, in the case of an untrue representation with respect to an Account, all Receivables in such Account, on the Determination Date immediately succeeding the expiration of such 30-day period on the terms and conditions set forth in the next succeeding paragraph; provided, however, that no such purchase shall be required to be made with respect to such Receivable if, by the end of such 30-day period (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Trustee) the breached representation or warranty shall then be true and correct in all material respects and any material adverse effect caused thereby shall have been cured. The Servicer shall effect such purchase by depositing in the Collection Account in immediately available funds an amount equal to the Purchase Price of such Receivable.

A copy of such certificate may be obtained by any Investor Certificateholder by a request in writing to the Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office. SECTION 3.06. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report. The Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants, who may also render other services to the Servicer or to the Seller, to deliver to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies, each Agent and each Enhancement Provider on or before March 31 of each year, beginning March 31, 1992, a report addressed to the Board of Directors of the Servicer and to the Trustee, to the effect that such firm has examined the financial statements of the Servicer or, if applicable, the parent corporation of the Servicer, and issued its report thereon and that such examination: (a) was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as such firm considered necessary in the circumstances, (b) included tests relating to wholesale receivables (including financing arrangements with automobile dealers to finance their automobile and light-duty truck inventory) serviced for others in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Single Audit Program for Mortgage Bankers, to the extent the procedures in such program are applicable to the servicing obligations set forth in the Agreement and (c) except as described in the report, 48 disclosed no exceptions or errors in the records relating to wholesale receivables (including financing arrangements with automobile dealers to finance their automobile and light-duty truck inventory) serviced for others that, in the firm's opinion, paragraph four of such Uniform Single Audit Program requires such firm to report. A copy of such report may be obtained by any Investor Certificateholder by a request in writing to the Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office. SECTION 3.07. Tax Treatment. The Seller has entered into this Agreement and the Investor Certificates have been (or will be) issued with the intention that the Investor Certificates will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness of CARCO secured by the Receivables. The Seller, each Beneficiary and each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner, by the acceptance of its Certificate or Book-Entry Certificate, as applicable, agrees to treat the Investor Certificates as indebtedness of CARCO secured by the Receivables for Federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes, Michigan Single Business tax and any other taxes imposed on or measured by income. SECTION 3.08. Notices to DCS. In the event DCS is no longer acting as Servicer, any Successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 10.02 shall deliver or make available to DCS, as the case may be, each certificate and report required to be prepared, forwarded or delivered thereafter pursuant to Sections 3.04, 3.05 or 3.06. SECTION 3.09. Adjustments. (a) If the Servicer adjusts downward the amount of any Principal Receivable because of a rebate, refund, credit adjustment or billing error to a Dealer, or because such Receivable was created in respect of a Vehicle which was refused or returned by a Dealer, then, in any such case, the Seller's Participation Amount will be automatically reduced by the amount of the adjustment subject to the last sentence of this Section. Furthermore, if following such a reduction the Seller's Participation Amount would be less than the Trust Available Subordinated Amount on the immediately preceding Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on the Distribution Date following such Determination Date), then the Seller shall be required to pay an amount equal to such deficiency (up to the amount of such adjustment) into the Collection Account on the Business Day on which such adjustment or reduction occurs (each such payment an "Adjustment Payment"). If the Seller shall fail to make any deposit to the Collection Account with respect to such Adjustment Payment or portion thereof by the Determination Date relating to the Collection Period with respect to which such Adjustment Payment is payable, the amount of such Adjustment Payment or portion thereof shall be allocated on such related Determination Date pro rata among the then outstanding Series based on their respective Series Allocation Percentages for the Collection Period with respect to which such deposit should have been made. (b) If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of a Collection of a Receivable and such collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check which is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake. Any Receivable in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid. 49 ARTICLE IV Rights of Certificateholders and Allocation and Application of Collections SECTION 4.01. Rights of Certificateholders. The Investor Certificates shall represent fractional undivided interests in the Trust, which, with respect to each Series, shall consist of the right to receive, to the extent necessary to make the required payments with respect to the Investor Certificates of such Series at the times and in the amounts specified in the related Supplement, the portion of Collections allocable to Investor Certificateholders of such Series pursuant to this Agreement and such Supplement, funds on deposit in the Collection Account allocable to Certificateholders of such series pursuant to this Agreement and such Supplement, funds on deposit in any related Series Account and funds available pursuant to any related Enhancement (collectively, with respect to all Series, the "Certificateholders' Interest"), it being understood that the Investor Certificates of any Series or Class shall not represent any interest in any Series Account or Enhancement for the benefit of any other Series or Class. The Seller's Certificate shall represent the ownership interest in the remainder of the Trust Assets not allocated pursuant to this Agreement or any Supplement to the Certificateholders' Interest, including the right to receive Collections with respect to the Receivables and other amounts at the times and in the amounts specified in any Supplement to be paid to the Seller on behalf of all holders of the Seller's Certificates (the "Seller's Interest"); provided, however, that the Seller's Certificates shall not represent any interest in the Collection Account, any Series Account or any Enhancement, except as specifically provided in this Agreement or any Supplement. SECTION 4.02. Establishment of the Collection Account. The Servicer, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the other Beneficiaries, shall cause to be established and maintained in the name of the Trust an Eligible Deposit Account bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the other Beneficiaries (the "Collection Account"). The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds from time to time on deposit in, and all Eligible Investments credited to, the Collection Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Collection Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the other Beneficiaries. If, at any time, the Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Servicer shall establish a substitute Eligible Deposit Account as the Collection Account, instruct the Trustee to transfer any cash and/or any Eligible Investments to such new Collection Account and, from the date any such substitute account is established, such account shall be the Collection Account. Neither the Seller nor the Servicer, nor any person or entity claiming by, through or under the Seller or Servicer, shall have any right, title or interest in, or any right to withdraw any amount from, the Collection Account. Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer in Section 3.01, the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Trustee, to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account for the purposes of carrying out the Servicer's or Trustee's duties specified in this Agreement. All Eligible Investments shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the other Beneficiaries. Funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall at the direction of the Servicer be invested by the Trustee solely in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available by 10:00 a.m. on or before the Distribution Date 50 related to the Collection Period in which such funds were received by the Servicer. As of each Determination Date, all interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account received on such Determination Date shall be credited to the Collection Account. Schedule 2, which is hereby incorporated into and made part of this Agreement, identifies the Collection Account by setting forth the account number of such account, the account designation of such account and the name of the institution with which such account has been established. If a substitute Collection Account is established pursuant to this Section 4.02, the Servicer shall provide to the Trustee an amended Schedule 2, setting forth the relevant information for such substitute Collection Account. SECTION 4.03. Allocations and Applications of Collections and Other Funds. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.03(b), the Servicer shall deposit Collections into the Collection Account as promptly as possible after the Date of Processing of such Collections, but in no event later than the second Business Day after such Date of Processing. (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for so long as (i) DCS remains the Servicer hereunder, (ii) no Service Default has occurred and is continuing and (iii) (x) DCS maintains a short-term rating of at least A-1 by Standard & Poor's and P-1 by Moody's (and for five Business Days following any reduction of either such rating), (y) DCS arranges for and maintains a letter of credit or other form of Enhancement in respect of the Servicer's obligations to make deposits of collections on the Receivables in the Collection Account that is acceptable in form and substance to each Rating Agency and any Agents or (z) DCS otherwise obtains the Rating Agency confirmations described below, then, subject to any limitations in the confirmations described below, the Servicer need not make the daily deposits of Collections into the Collection Account as provided in Section 4.02, but may make a single deposit into the Collection Account in same-day or next-day funds not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Distribution Date in a net amount equal to the amount which would have been on deposit with respect to the immediately preceding Collection Period in the Collection Account; provided, however, that prior to ceasing daily deposits as described above the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee written confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies that the failure by DCS to make daily deposits will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Series or Class. (c) Subject to Section 4.04, but notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Collection Period, whether the Servicer is required to make deposits of Collections pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above, (i) the Servicer will only be required to deposit Collections into the Collection Account up to the aggregate amount of Collections required to be deposited into any Series Account or, without duplication, distributed on the related Distribution Date to Investor Certificateholders, to any Agent or to any Enhancement Provider pursuant to the terms of any Supplement or Enhancement Agreement and (ii) if at any time prior to such Distribution Date the amount of Collections deposited in the Collection Account exceeds the amount required to be deposited pursuant to clause (i) above, the Servicer will be permitted to withdraw the excess from the Collection Account. (d) Subject to and in accordance with Section 4.03(e), collections of Non-Principal Receivables and Principal Receivables, Defaulted Receivables and Miscellaneous Payments will be allocated to each Series from and after the related Series Cut-Off Date on the 51 basis of such Series' Series Allocable Non-Principal Collections, Series Allocable Principal Collections, Series Allocable Defaulted Amount and Series Allocable Miscellaneous Payments and amounts so allocated to any Series will not, except as specified in the related Supplement, be available to the Investor Certificateholders of any other Series. Allocations thereof between the Certificateholders' Interest and the Seller's Interest, among the Series in any group and among the Classes in any Series shall be set forth in the related Supplement or Supplements; provided, however, Collections of Non-Principal Receivables and Principal Receivables, Defaulted Receivables and Miscellaneous Payments shall not be allocated to any Excluded Series until the Invested Amount of the Series relating to such Excluded Series is reduced to $0. (e) For purposes of determining each Series' Series Allocation Percentage in connection with the allocation of Non-Principal Receivables and Principal Receivables, Defaulted Receivables and Miscellaneous Payments for the specified Collection Period: (i) unless the related Supplement shall provide otherwise, each Series upon issuance, shall be deemed to have been created and in existence as of the first day of the Collection Period in which the related Series Cut-Off Date falls and, as a result, shall be allocated (based on its Series Allocation Percentage) its allocable portion of Non-Principal Receivables and Principal Receivables, Defaulted Receivables and Miscellaneous Payments for such Collection Period; and (ii) unless the related Supplement shall provide otherwise, with respect to any Series, if (x) as of the last day of any Collection Period the amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the related Series Accounts with respect to such Collection Period are sufficient to pay in full all amounts payable by the Trust on or with respect to such Series' Certificates on the Distribution Date relating to such Collection Period (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on such related Distribution Date) then (y) such Series shall be deemed to have been paid in full on such last day and, as a result, shall not be allocated any portion of Non-Principal Receivables and Principal Receivables, Defaulted Receivables and Miscellaneous Payments for any subsequent Collection Period. For purposes of making the determination in clause (x) above, on the date of any such determination it shall be assumed that any theretofore unpaid Adjustment Payments with respect to the immediately preceding Collection Period shall be allocated to such Series on the related Determination Date and shall be payable from amounts allocated to or available with respect to such Series on the related Distribution Date. (f) On each Distribution Date, amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on such Distribution Date resulting from payment by the Seller of the Repurchased Receivables Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.06(d) shall be applied as follows: first, to fund any unpaid Miscellaneous Payments due on or prior to such Distribution Date and second, an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount of the Repurchased Receivables Purchase Price initially deposited by the seller in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.06(d) and (ii) the Monthly Payment Rate for the immediately preceding Collection Period, shall be treated as Principal Collections collected in the immediately preceding Collection Period. 52 SECTION 4.04. Unallocated Principal Collections. On each Distribution Date, (a) the Servicer shall allocate Excess Principal Collections (as described below) to each Series as set forth in the related Supplement and (b) the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the Collection Account and pay to the Seller (i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the aggregate amount for all outstanding Series of Collections of Principal Receivables which the related Supplements specify are to be treated as "Excess Principal Collections" with respect to such Distribution Date over (y) the aggregate amount for all outstanding Series which the related Supplements specify are "Principal Shortfalls" with respect to such Distribution Date and, without duplication, (ii) the aggregate amount for all outstanding Series of that portion of Series Allocable Principal Collections which the related Supplements specify are to be allocated and paid to the Seller with respect to such Distribution Date; provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), such amounts shall be paid to the Seller only if the Seller's Participation Amount for such Distribution Date (determined after giving effect to any Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust on such date) exceeds the Trust Available Subordinated Amount for the immediately preceding Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on such Distribution Date). The amount held in the Collection Account as a result of the proviso in the preceding sentence ("Unallocated Principal Collections") shall be paid to the Seller at the time the Seller's Participation Amount exceeds the Trust Available Subordinated Amount for the immediately preceding Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on the Distribution Date immediately following such Determination Date); provided, however, that any Unallocated Principal Collections on deposit in the Collection Account at any time during which any Series is in its amortization period, accumulation period or Early Amortization Period shall be deemed to be "Miscellaneous Payments" and shall be allocated and distributed in accordance with Section 4.03 and the terms of each Supplement. ARTICLE V Distributions and Reports to Certificateholders Distributions shall be made to, and reports shall be provided to, Certificateholders as set forth in the applicable Supplement. ARTICLE VI The Certificates SECTION 6.01. The Certificates. The Investor Certificates of any Series or Class may be issued in bearer form ("Bearer Certificates") with attached interest coupons and one or more special coupons (collectively, the "Coupons") pursuant to Section 6.11, or in fully registered form ("Registered Certificates") and shall be substantially in the form of the exhibits with respect thereto attached to the applicable Supplement. The CARCO Certificate will be issued in registered form, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, and shall upon issue, be executed and delivered by the Seller to the Trustee for authentication and redelivery as provided in Section 6.02. Except as otherwise provided in any Supplement, Bearer Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $5,000, $50,000 and $100,000 and Registered Certificates 53 shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. If specified in any Supplement, the Investor Certificates of any Series or Class shall be issued upon initial issuance as a single certificate evidencing the aggregate original principal amount of such Series or Class as described in Section 6.11. The CARCO Certificate shall be a single certificate and shall initially represent the entire Seller's Interest. Each Certificate shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Seller by its President or any Vice President. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signature of the individual who was, at the time when such signature was affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Seller shall not be rendered invalid, notwithstanding that such individual ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or does not hold such office at the date of such Certificates. No Certificates shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by the manual signature of a duly authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Bearer Certificates shall be dated the Series Issuance Date. All Registered Certificates and Seller's Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. SECTION 6.02. Authentication of Certificates. The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Investor Certificates of each Series and Class that are issued upon original issuance to or upon the order of the Seller against payment to the Seller of the purchase price therefor. The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the CARCO Certificate to the Seller simultaneously with its delivery of the Investor Certificates of the first Series to be issued hereunder. If specified in the related Supplement for any Series or Class, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver outside the United States the Global Certificate that is issued upon original issuance thereof. SECTION 6.03. New Issuances. (a) The Seller may from time to time direct the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to issue one or more new Series of Investor certificates. The Investor Certificates of all outstanding Series shall be equally and ratably entitled as provided herein to the benefits of this Agreement without preference, priority or distinction, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Supplement except, with respect to any Series or Class, as provided in the related Supplement. (b) On or before the series Issuance Date relating to any new Series, the parties hereto will execute and deliver a Supplement which will specify the Principal Terms of such new Series. The terms of such Supplement may modify or amend the terms of this Agreement solely as applied to such new Series. The obligation of the Trustee to issue the Investor Certificates of such new Series and to execute and deliver the related Supplement is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) on or before the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the Series Issuance Date, the Seller shall have given the Trustee, the Servicer, each Rating Agency, any Agent and any Enhancement Provider notice of such issuance and the Series Issuance Date; 54 (ii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee the related Supplement, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, executed by each party hereto other than the Trustee; (iii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee any related Enhancement Agreement executed by each of the parties thereto, other than the Trustee; (iv) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such issuance; (v) such issuance will not result in the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event and the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee, any Agent and any Enhancement Provider a certificate of a Vice President or more senior officer, dated the Series Issuance Date, to the effect that the Seller reasonably believes that such issuance will not result in the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event and is not reasonably expected to result in the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event at any time in the future; (vi) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee and any Enhancement Provider a Tax Opinion, dated the Series Issuance Date, with respect to such issuance; (vii) the result obtained by multiplying (x) the Seller's Participation Amount by (y) the percentage equivalent of the portion of the Seller's Interest represented by the CARCO Certificate, shall not be less than 2% of the Pool Balance, in each case as of the Series Issuance Date, and after giving effect to such issuance; and (viii) if such Series pursuant to Section 4.03(e)(i) is to be allocated Collections with respect to the Collection Period in which the Series Cut-Off Date falls, the Pool Balance on the first day of such Collection Period (after giving effect to any Accounts added to the Trust on or prior to the Series Issuance Date) shall equal or exceed the Required Participation Amount on the first day of such Collection Period (after giving effect to each Series (including such Series) theretofore issued which are to be allocated Collections with respect to such Collection Period) and the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee, any Agent and any Enhancement Provider a certificate of a Vice President or more senior officer, dated the Series Issuance Date, to such effect. Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, the Trustee shall execute the Supplement and issue to the Seller the Investor Certificates of such Series for execution and redelivery to the Trustee for authentication. With respect to any Enhancement that consists of an interest rate swap or any other swap or derivative instrument (each, a "derivative instrument"), such derivative instrument shall be entered into at the time of issuance of the related series of Investor Certificates, at the time of issuance shall not have a notional amount in excess of the principal amount of the related Investor Certificates and is not thereafter expected to exceed such principal amount, shall not require the Trust to make discretionary decisions (other than decisions relating to the servicing of the Receivables) and shall have characteristics that relate to and are intended to hedge (partly or fully) against some risk or risks related to such Investor Certificates or the Receivables or Eligible Investments. 55 (c) The Seller may surrender the CARCO Certificate to the Trustee in exchange for a newly issued CARCO Certificate and a second certificate (a "Supplemental Certificate"), the terms of which shall be defined in a supplement to this Agreement (which supplement shall be subject to Section 13.01 to the extent that it amends any of the terms of this Agreement), to be delivered to or upon the order of the Seller (or the holder of a Supplemental Certificate, in the case of the transfer or exchange thereof, as provided below), upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the result obtained by multiplying (x) the Seller's Participation Amount by (y) the percentage equivalent of the portion of the Seller's Interest represented by the CARCO Certificate, shall not be less than 2% of the Pool Balance, in each case as of the date of, and after giving effect to, such exchange; (ii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect such exchange (or transfer or exchange as provided below); and (iii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee, any Agent and any Enhancement Provider a Tax opinion, dated the date of such exchange (or transfer or exchange as provided below), with respect thereto. The CARCO Certificate will at all times be beneficially owned by the Seller. Any Supplemental Certificate may be transferred or exchanged only upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) above. SECTION 6.04. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.16 a register (the "Certificate Register") in which, subject to such reasonable' regulations as it may prescribe, a transfer agent and registrar (which shall initially be the Trustee) (the "Transfer Agent and Registrar") shall provide for the registration of the Registered Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of the Registered Certificates as herein provided. The Transfer Agent and Registrar shall initially be the Trustee and any co-transfer agent and co-registrar chosen by the Seller and acceptable to the Trustee. So long as any Investor Certificates are outstanding, the Seller shall maintain a co-transfer agent and co-registrar in New York City. Any reference in this Agreement to the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall include any cotransfer agent and coregistrar unless the context requires otherwise. Subject to paragraph (c) below, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Certificate at any office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose, one or more new Registered Certificates (of the same Series and Class) in authorized denominations of like aggregate fractional undivided interests in the Certificateholders' Interest shall be executed, authenticated and delivered, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees. At the option of a Registered Certificateholder, Registered Certificates (of the same Series and Class) may be exchanged for other Registered Certificates of authorized denominations of like aggregate fractional undivided interests in the Certificateholders' Interest, upon surrender of the Registered Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency; 56 Registered Certificates, including Registered Certificates received in exchange for Bearer Certificates, may not be exchanged for Bearer Certificates. At the option of the Holder of a Bearer Certificate, subject to applicable laws and regulations, Bearer Certificates may be exchanged for other Bearer Certificates or Registered Certificates (of the same Series and Class) of authorized denominations of like aggregate fractional undivided interests in the Certificateholders' Interest, upon surrender of the Bearer Certificates to be exchanged at an office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar located outside the United States. Each Bearer Certificate surrendered pursuant to this Section shall have attached thereto all unmatured Coupons; provided that any Bearer Certificate, so surrendered after the close of business on the Record Date preceding the relevant payment date or distribution date after the expected final payment date need not have attached the Coupon relating to such payment date or distribution date (in each case, as specified in the applicable Supplement). The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Certificate for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Certificate. Whenever any Investor Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Seller shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall deliver (in the case of Bearer Certificates, outside the United States) the Investor Certificates which the Investor Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Investor Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by the Investor Certificateholder or the attorney-in-fact thereof duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Investor Certificates, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange. All Investor Certificates (together with any Coupons) surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange or for payment shall be canceled and disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee. The Trustee shall cancel and destroy any Global Certificate upon its exchange in full for Definitive Euro-Certificates and shall deliver a certificate of destruction to the Seller. Such certificate shall also state that a certificate or certificates of a Foreign Clearing Agency to the effect referred to in Section 6.11 was received with respect to each portion of the Global Certificate exchanged for Definitive Euro-Certificates. The Seller shall execute and deliver to the Trustee Bearer Certificates and Registered Certificates in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under this Agreement and the Certificates. (b) The Transfer Agent and Registrar will maintain at its expense in each of the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Investor Certificates 57 may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (except that Bearer Certificates may not be surrendered for exchange at any such office or agency in the United States). (c) (i) Registration of transfer of Investor Certificates containing a legend to the effect set forth on Exhibit D-1 shall be effected only if such transfer (x) is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Act, and (y) is made to a Person which is not an employee benefit plan, trust or account, including an individual retirement account, that is subject to ERISA or that is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in such entity (a "Benefit Plan"). In the event that registration of a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements under the Act, the transferor or the transferee shall deliver, at its expense, to the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee, an investment letter from the transferee, substantially in the form attached to the applicable Supplement, and no registration of transfer shall be made until such letter is so delivered. Investor Certificates issued upon registration or transfer of, or Investor Certificates issued in exchange for, Investor Certificates bearing the legend referred to above shall also bear such legend unless the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar receive an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to each of them, to the effect that such legend may be removed. Whenever an Investor Certificate containing the legend referred to above is presented to the Transfer Agent and Registrar for registration of transfer, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall promptly seek instructions from the Servicer regarding such transfer and shall be entitled to receive instructions signed by a Servicing Officer prior to registering any such transfer. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee and to hold each of them harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by them in relation to any such instructions furnished pursuant to this clause (i). (ii) Registration of transfer of Investor Certificates containing a legend to the effect set forth on Exhibit D-2 shall be effected only if such transfer is made to a Person which is not a Benefit Plan. By accepting and holding any such Investor Certificate, an Investor Certificateholder shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan. By acquiring any interest in a Book-Entry Certificate, a Certificate Owner shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan. SECTION 6.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate (together, in the case of Bearer Certificates, with all unmatured Coupons (if any) appertaining thereto) is surrendered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or the Transfer Agent and Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Seller shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall deliver (in the case of Bearer Certificates, outside the United States), in exchange for or in lieu of 58 any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and aggregate fractional undivided interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require the payment by the Certificateholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and Transfer Agent and Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. SECTION 6.06. Persons Deemed Owners. The Trustee, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them may (a) prior to due presentation of a Registered Certificate for registration of transfer, treat the Person or Persons in whose name any Registered Certificate is registered as the owner of such Registered Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the terms of the applicable Supplement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and (b) treat the bearer of a Bearer Certificate or Coupon as the owner of such Bearer Certificate or Coupon for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the terms of the applicable Supplement and for all other purposes whatsoever; and, in any such case, neither the Trustee, the Transfer Agent and Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in determining whether the Holders of the requisite Investor Certificates have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Certificates owned by the Seller, the Servicer, any other holder of a Seller's Certificate or any Affiliate thereof, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Certificates which the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Certificates so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded and may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Certificates and that the pledgee is not the Seller, the Servicer, any other holder of a Seller's Certificate or any Affiliate thereof. SECTION 6.07. Access to List of Registered Certificateholders' Names and Addresses. The Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished by the Transfer Agent and Registrar to the Servicer, within five business days after receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor, a list in such form as the Servicer may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Registered Certificateholders. If three or more holders of Investor Certificates (the "Applicants") apply to the Trustee, and such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Investor Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or any Supplement or under the Investor Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee, after having been adequately indemnified by such Applicants for its costs and expenses, shall afford or shall cause the Transfer Agent and Registrar to afford such Applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of Registered Certificateholders of such Series or all outstanding Series, as applicable, held by the Trustee, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application. Such list shall be as of a date no more than 45 days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants' request. 59 Every Registered Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Registered Certificate, agrees with the Trustee that neither the Trustee, the Transfer Agent and Registrar, nor any of their respective agents, shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Registered Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the sources from which such information was derived. SECTION 6.08. Book-Entry Certificates. Unless otherwise specified in the related Supplement for any Series or Class, the Investor Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Investor Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository, by, or on behalf of, the Seller. The Investor Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in the Investor Certificates, except as provided in section 6.10. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Investor Certificates.("Definitive Certificates") have been issued to the applicable Certificate owners pursuant to Section 6.10 or as otherwise specified in any such Supplement: (a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect; (b) the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee may deal with the Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes (including the making of distributions) as the authorized representatives of the respective Certificate owners; (c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall control; and (d) the rights of the respective Certificate owners shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 6.10, the Depository will make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Investor Certificates to such Depository Participants. For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Investor Certificateholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Investor Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by Certificate Owners (acting through the Depository and the Depository Participants) owning Investor Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount of Investor Certificates. SECTION 6.09. Notices to Depository. Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to Investor Certificateholders of any Series or Class with respect to which Book-Entry Certificates have been issued, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to the applicable Depository. 60 SECTION 6.10. Definitive Certificates. If Book-Entry Certificates have been issued with respect to any series or Class and (a) the Seller advises the Trustee that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with respect to such Series or Class and the Trustee or the Seller is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Seller, at its option, advises the Trustee that it elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to such Series or Class through the Depository or (c) after the occurrence of a Service Default, Certificate Owners of such Series or Class evidencing not less than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Series or Class advise the Trustee and the Depository through the Depository Participants that the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to the Investor Certificates of such Series or Class through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate owners with respect to such Certificates, then the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners of such Certificates, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of any such Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Definitive Certificates. Neither the Seller nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of such Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Investor Certificateholders hereunder. SECTION 6.11. Global Certificate; Exchange Date. (a) If specified in the related Supplement for any Series or Class, the Investor Certificates will initially be issued in the form of a single temporary global Certificate (the "Global Certificate") in bearer form, without interest coupons, in the denomination of the entire aggregate principal amount of such Series or Class and substantially in the form set forth in the exhibit with respect thereto attached to the related Supplement. The Global Certificate will be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions, in substantially the same manner and with the same effect as the Definitive Certificates she Global Certificate may be exchanged as described below for Bearer or Registered Certificates in definitive form (the "Definitive Euro-Certificates"). (b) The Manager shall, upon its determination of the date of completion of the distribution of the Investor certificates of such Series or Class, so advise the Trustee, the Seller, the Common Depositary, and each Foreign Clearing Agency forthwith. Without unnecessary delay, but in any event not prior to the Exchange Date, the Seller will execute and deliver to the Trustee at its London office or its designated agent outside the United States definitive Bearer Certificates in an aggregate principal amount equal to the entire aggregate principal amount of such Series or Class. All Bearer Certificates so issued and delivered will have Coupons attached. The Global Certificate may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Euro-Certificates only on or after the Exchange Date. A United States institutional investor may exchange the portion of the Global Certificate beneficially owned by it only for an equal aggregate principal amount of Registered Certificates bearing the applicable legend set forth in the form of Registered Certificate attached to the related Supplement and having a minimum denomination of $500,000, which may be in temporary form if the Seller so elects. The Seller may waive the $500,000 minimum denomination requirement if it so elects. Upon any demand 61 for exchange for Definitive Euro-Certificates in accordance with this paragraph, the Seller shall cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Definitive Euro-Certificates to the Holder (x) outside the United States, in the case of Bearer Certificates, and (y) according to the instructions of the Holder, in the case of Registered Certificates, but in either case only upon presentation to the Trustee of a written statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 with respect to the Global Certificate or portion thereof being exchanged, signed by a Foreign Clearing Agency and dated on the Exchange Date or a subsequent date, to the effect that it has received in writing or by tested telex a certification substantially in the form of (i) in the case of beneficial ownership of the Global Certificate or a portion thereof being exchanged by a United States institutional investor pursuant to the second preceding sentence, the certificate in the form of Exhibit F-2 signed by the Manager which sold the relevant Certificates or (ii) in all other cases, the certificate in the form of Exhibit F-3, the certificate referred to in this clause (ii) being dated on the earlier of the first actual payment of interest in respect of such Certificates and the date of the delivery of such Certificate in definitive form. Upon receipt of such certification, the Trustee shall cause the Global Certificate to be endorsed in accordance with paragraph (d) below. Any exchange as provided in this Section shall be made free of charge to the holders and the beneficial owners of the Global Certificate and to the beneficial owners of the Definitive Euro-Certificates issued in exchange, except that a person receiving Definitive Euro-Certificates must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the event that such person does not receive such Definitive Euro-Certificates in person at the offices of a Foreign Clearing Agency. (c) The delivery to the Trustee by a Foreign Clearing Agency of any written statement referred to above may be relied upon by the Seller and the Trustee as conclusive evidence that a corresponding certification or certifications has or have been delivered to such Foreign Clearing Agency pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. (d) Upon any such exchange of all or a portion of the Global Certificate for a Definitive Euro-Certificate or Certificates, such Global Certificate shall be endorsed by or on behalf of the Trustee to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Definitive Euro-Certificate or Certificates. Until so exchanged in full, such Global Certificate shall in all respects, be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as Definitive Euro-Certificates authenticated and delivered hereunder except that the beneficial owners of such Global Certificate shall not be entitled to receive payments of interest on the Certificates until they have exchanged their beneficial interests in such Global Certificate for Definitive Euro-Certificates.

If any one of the following events (a "Service Default") shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Servicer: (a) any failure by the Servicer to make any payment, transfer or deposit or to give instructions or to give notice to the Trustee to make such payment, transfer or deposit or to give notice to the Trustee as to any action to be taken under any Enhancement Agreement on or before the date occurring five days after the date such payment, transfer or deposit or such instruction or notice is required to be made or given, as the case may be, under the terms of this Agreement; (b) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement which has a material adverse effect on the Investor Certificateholders of any Series, which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee; 71 or the Servicer shall delegate its duties under this Agreement, except as permitted by Sections 3.01 and 8.07; (c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect when made, which has a material adverse effect on the rights of the Investor Certificateholders of any Series and which material adverse effect continues for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice thereof, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee; (d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or other similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property, or a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or other similar official in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed; or the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make any assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; then, in the event of any service Default, so long as the Service Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (a "Termination Notice"), may terminate all but not less than all of the rights and obligations (other than its obligations that have accrued up to the time of such termination) of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. After receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice, and on the date that a Successor Servicer shall have been appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.02, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in a successor Servicer (a "Service Transfer") and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered (upon the failure of the Servicer to cooperate) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments upon the failure of the Servicer to execute or deliver such documents or instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such Service Transfer. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and such Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing hereunder, including the transfer to such Successor Servicer of all authority of the Servicer to service the Receivables provided for under this Agreement, including all authority over all Collections which shall on the date of transfer be held by the Servicer for deposit, or which have been deposited by the Servicer, in the Collection Account, or which shall thereafter be received with respect to the Receivables, and in assisting the Successor Servicer. The Servicer shall promptly transfer its electronic records relating to the Receivables to the Successor Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and shall promptly transfer to the Successor Servicer all other records, correspondence and documents necessary for the continued servicing of the 72 Receivables in the manner and at such times as the Successor Servicer shall reasonably request. To the extent that compliance with this Section 10.01 shall require the Servicer to disclose to the Successor Servicer information of any kind which the Servicer reasonably deems to be confidential, the Successor Servicer shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance under Section 10.01(a) for a period of 10 Business Days or under section 10.01(b) or (c) for a period of 60 Business Days, shall not constitute a Service Default if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by an act of God or the public enemy, acts of declares or undeclared war, public disorder, rebellion or sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning, fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or similar causes. The preceding sentence shall not relieve the Servicer from using its best efforts to perform its respective obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicer shall provide the Trustee, any Agents, any Enhancement Providers, the Seller and the Certificateholders with an Officers' Certificate giving prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts so to perform its obligations. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee in writing of any Service Default. SECTION 10.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 10.01, the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Trustee in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Termination Notice, or otherwise specified by the Trustee, until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and Trustee. The Trustee shall as promptly as possible after the giving of a Termination Notice appoint an Eligible Servicer as a successor servicer (the "Successor Servicer"), subject to the consent of any Enhancement Providers and any Agents, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed or has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer. The Trustee may delegate any of its servicing obligations to an affiliate or agent in accordance with sections 3.01 and 8.07. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee shall, if it is legally unable so to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of wholesale receivables as the Successor Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall immediately give notice to the Rating Agencies, any Enhancement Providers, any Agents and the Certificateholders upon the appointment of a Successor, any Agents Servicer. (b) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof (except that the Successor Servicer shall not be liable for any liabilities incurred by the predecessor Servicer), and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer. Any Successor Servicer, by its 73 acceptance of its appointment, will automatically agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of any Enhancement Agreement. (c) In connection with any Termination Notice, the Trustee will review any bids which it obtains from Eligible Servicers and shall be permitted to appoint any Eligible Servicer submitting such a bid as a Successor Servicer for servicing compensation not in excess of the Servicing Fee (provided that if all such bids exceed the Servicing Fee the Seller at its own expense shall pay when due the amount of any compensation in excess of the Servicing Fee); provided, however, that the Seller shall be responsible for payment of the Seller's portion of the Servicing Fee as determined pursuant to this Agreement and all other amounts in excess of the Investors' Servicing Fee, and that no such monthly compensation paid out of Collections shall be in excess of the Investors' Servicing Fee permitted to the Servicer. The holders of the Seller's Certificates agree that if DCS (or any Successor Servicer) is terminated as Servicer hereunder, the portion of Collections to be paid to the Seller shall be reduced by an amount sufficient to pay Seller's share of the compensation of the Successor Servicer. (d) All authority and power granted to the Successor Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.01, and shall pass to and be vested in the Seller and, without limitation, the Seller is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Successor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Successor Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Seller in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Successor Servicer to conduct servicing on the Receivables. The Successor Servicer shall transfer its electronic records relating to the Receivables to the Seller in such electronic form as the Seller may reasonably request and shall transfer all other records, correspondence and documents to the Seller in the manner and at such times as the Seller shall reasonably request. To the extent that compliance with this Section 10.02 shall require the Successor Servicer to disclose to the Seller information of any kind which the Successor Servicer deems to be confidential, the Seller shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the Successor Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interests. ARTICLE XI The Trustee SECTION 11.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Service Default of which it has knowledge and after the curing of all Service Defaults which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Service Default to the knowledge of the Trustee has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. (b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically 74 required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they substantially conform to the requirements of this Agreement. (c) Subject to Section 11.01(a), no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct: provided, however, that; (i) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (ii) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Service Default or the failure by the Servicer to comply with the obligations of the Servicer referred to in Section 10.01(a) and (b) unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure; and (iii) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Early Amortization Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge thereof. (d) The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (e) Except for actions expressly authorized by this Agreement, the Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the interests of the Trust in any Receivable now existing or hereafter created or to impair the value of any Receivable now existing or hereafter created. (f) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Trustee shall have no power to vary the corpus of the Trust including the power to (i) accept any substitute obligation for a Receivable initially assigned to the Trust under Section 2.01 or 2.05, (ii) add any other investment, obligation or security to the Trust or (iii) withdraw from the Trust any Receivables. (g) In the event that the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be obligated promptly upon its actual knowledge thereof to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required. (h) If the Seller has agreed to transfer any of its wholesale receivables (other than the Receivables) to another Person, then upon the written request of the Seller, the Trustee will enter into such intercreditor agreements with the transferee of such receivables as are customary 75 and necessary to identify separately the rights of the Trust and such other Person in the Seller's wholesale receivables; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to enter into any intercreditor agreement which could adversely affect the interests of the Investor Certificateholders or the Trustee and, upon the request of the Trustee, the Seller will deliver an Opinion of Counsel on any matters relating to such intercreditor agreement, reasonably requested by the Trustee. (i) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the Trustee is not acting as, and shall not be deemed to be, a fiduciary for any Enhancement Provider in its capacity as such or as a Beneficiary, and the Trustee's sole responsibility with respect to said parties shall be to perform those duties with respect to said parties as are specifically set forth herein and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee with respect to any such party. SECTION 11.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.01: (a) the Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting on, or in refraining from acting in accord with, any resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented to it pursuant to this Agreement by the proper party or parties; (b) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of Counsel; (c) the 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 hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; (d) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement; (e) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document; (f) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or custodian appointed with due care by it hereunder; and (g) except as may be required by Section 11.01(a) hereof, the Trustee shall not be required to make any initial or periodic examination of any documents or records related to the 76 Receivables or the Accounts for the purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by the Seller with its representations and warranties or for any other purpose. SECTION 11.03. Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Certificates. The Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the certificate of authentication on the Certificates). Except as set forth in Section 11.14, the Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the certificate of authentication on the Certificates) or of any Receivable or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Seller of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Seller in respect of the Receivables or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or any Series Account. SECTION 11.04. Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Investor Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee. SECTION 11.05. The Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trust hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, subject to Section 8.04, the Servicer will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents, any co-trustee and counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its gross negligence or bad faith and except as provided in the second following sentence. The Servicer's covenant to pay the expenses, disbursements and advances provided for in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If the Trustee is appointed Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 10.02, the provisions of this Section 11.05 shall not apply to expenses, disbursements and advances made or incurred by the Trustee in its capacity as Successor Servicer, which shall be covered out of the Servicing Fee. SECTION 11.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If such corporation publishes 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 11.06, 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 Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 11.7. 77 SECTION 11.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Seller and the Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Seller shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. (b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or if a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Servicer may remove the Trustee and promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee. (c) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 11.07 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 11.08 hereof. SECTION 11.08. Successor Trustee. (a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 11.07 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Seller and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all documents or copies thereof, at the expense of the Servicer, and statements held by it hereunder; and the Seller and the predecessor 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 trustee all such rights, power, duties and obligations. The Servicer shall immediately give notice to each Rating Agency and the Certificateholders upon the appointment of a successor trustee. (b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 11.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 11.06 hereof. SECTION 11.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of section 11.06 hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 78 SECTION 11.10. Appointment of Co-trustee or Separate Trustee. (a) 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 may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 11.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 11.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 11.08 hereof. (b) Every 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 Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the 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 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 (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the 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 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 Trustee; (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and (iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee. (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the 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 XI. 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 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 Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer. (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any 79 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 Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. SECTION 11.11. Tax Returns. In the event the Trust shall be required to file tax returns, the Trustee shall prepare, or shall cause to be prepared, and file any tax returns required to be filed by the Trust. The Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Supplements shall also prepare or shall cause to be prepared all tax information required by law to be distributed to the Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee will distribute or cause to be distributed such information to the Investor Certificateholders. The Servicer, upon request, will furnish the Trustee with all such information known to the Servicer as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation of all tax returns of the Trust or in connection with the distribution of tax information to the Investor Certificateholders. SECTION 11.12. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Certificates. All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has been obtained. SECTION 11.13. Suits for Enforcement. If a Service Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, in its discretion may, subject to the provisions of Section 10.01, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement by suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other remedy as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee or the Certificateholders. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Certificateholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Certificates or the rights of any Holder thereof, or authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Certificateholder in any such proceeding. SECTION 11.14. Representations and Warranties of Trustee. The Trustee represents and warrants that: (i) the Trustee is a banking corporation organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York: (ii) the Trustee has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each Supplement, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement and each Supplement; and 80 (iii) this Agreement and each Supplement has been duly executed and delivered by the Trustee. SECTION 11.15. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Trustee will maintain at its expense in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or offices or agency or agencies where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served. The Trustee initially designates its Corporate Trust Office as its office for such purposes in New York. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Servicer and to Holders of the Certificates of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency. ARTICLE XII Termination SECTION 12.01. Termination of Trust. The Trust and the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make payments to Investor Certificateholders as hereafter set forth) shall terminate, except with respect to the duties described in Sections 7.03, 8.04 and 12.02(b), upon the earlier of (i) May 31, 2012 (the "Final Maturity Date"), (ii) the day following the Distribution Date on which the Invested Amount for all Series is zero and (iii) the time provided in Section 9.02(b) (the "Trust Termination Date"). The Servicer will give the Rating Agencies prompt notice of the termination of the Trust. SECTION 12.02. Final Distribution. (a) The Servicer shall give the Trustee at least 30 days prior notice of the Distribution Date on which the Investor Certificateholders of any Series or Class may surrender their Investor Certificates for payment of the final distribution on and cancellation of such Investor Certificates (or, in the event of a final distribution resulting from the application of Section 2.03 or 9.01, notice of such Distribution Date promptly after Servicer has determined that a final distribution will occur, if such determination is made less than 30 days prior to such Distribution Date). Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer's Certificate setting forth the information specified in Section 3.05 covering the period during the then-current calendar year through the date of such notice. Not later than the fifth day of the month in which the final distribution in respect of such Series or Class is payable to Investor Certificateholders, the Trustee shall provide notice to Investor Certificateholders of such Series or Class specifying (i) the date upon which final payment of such Series or Class will be made upon presentation and surrender of Investor Certificates of such Series or Class at the office or offices 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, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of such Investor Certificates at the office or offices therein specified (which, in the case of Bearer Certificates, shall be outside the United States). The Trustee shall give such notice to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Rating Agencies at the time such notice is given to Investor Certificateholders. (b) Notwithstanding a final distribution to the Investor Certificateholders of any Series or Class (or the termination of the Trust), except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, all funds then on deposit in the Collection Account and any Series Account allocated to such 81 Investor Certificateholders shall continue to be held in trust for the benefit of such Investor Certificateholders and the Trustee shall pay such funds to such Investor Certificateholders upon surrender of their Investor Certificates (and any excess shall be paid in accordance with the terms of any Enhancement Agreement). In the event that all such Investor Certificateholders shall not surrender their Investor Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the notice from the Trustee described in paragraph (a), the Trustee shall give a second notice to the remaining such Investor Certificateholders to surrender their Investor Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto (which surrender and payment, in the case of Bearer Certificates, shall be outside the United States). If within one year after the second notice all such Investor Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining such Investor Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Investor Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds in the Collection Account or any Series Account held for the benefit of such Investor Certificateholders. The Trustee shall pay to the Seller any monies held by it for the payment of principal or interest that remain unclaimed for two years. After payment to the Seller, Investor Certificateholders entitled to the money must look to the Seller for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person. (c) In the event that the Invested Amount with respect to any Series is greater than zero on its Termination Date (after giving effect to deposits and distributions otherwise to be made on such Termination Date), the Trustee will sell or cause to be sold on such Termination Date Receivables (or interests therein) in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 1105 of the Invested Amount with respect to such Series on such Termination Date (after giving effect to such deposits and distributions) and (ii) the Available Subordinated Amount with respect to such Series on the preceding Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on the Distribution Date following such Determination Date); provided, however, that in no event shall such amount exceed such Series' Series Allocation Percentage (for the Collection Period in which such Termination Date occurs) of Receivables on such Termination Date. The proceeds (the "Termination Proceeds") from such sale shall be immediately deposited into the Collection Account for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders of such Series.

The list of Removed Accounts described in Section 2 of this Assignment is, as of the Removal Commencement Date, true and complete in all material respects; provided, however, that in the event that the removal on such Removal Date relates solely to Ineligible Accounts, the Seller shall be deemed to make only the representations and warranties contained in paragraph 5(a) above. 6. Conditions Precedent. In addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.07 of the Agreement, the obligation of the Trustee to execute and deliver this Reassignment is subject to the satisfaction, on or prior to the Removal Commencement Date, of the following additional condition precedent: Officers' Certificate.

I-3 RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of May 31, 1991, between CHRYSLER AUTO RECEIVABLES COMPANY LLC, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Buyer"), and CHRYSLER CREDIT CORPORATION, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Seller"). W I T N E S S E T H : WHEREAS the Seller in the ordinary course of its business finances the purchase of floorplan inventory by automotive dealers thereby generating certain payment obligations; WHEREAS the Seller wishes to sell certain of such existing and future payment obligations from time to time to the Buyer; and WHEREAS the Buyer desires to sell such payment obligations to CARCO Auto Loan Master Trust, pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 31, 1991 (as the same may from time to time be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the Buyer, as seller, the Seller, as servicer, and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as trustee (the "Trustee"). NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS SECTION 1.01 Certain Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In addition, the term "Agreement" means this Receivables Purchase Agreement, as the same may from time to time be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified. SECTION 1.02 Other Definitional Provisions. The words "hereof", "herein" and "hereunder" and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Article, section, subsection, schedule, and exhibit references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. ARTICLE II CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Receivables. By execution of this Agreement, the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey, without recourse (except as expressly provided herein), to the Buyer on the first Closing Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, and on the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables in each Account and all Collateral Security with respect thereto owned by the Seller at the close of business on the Cut-Off Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and on the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, and all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect I-4 thereto and all proceeds (including "proceeds" as defined in Section 9-306 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Michigan and Recoveries) thereof. Subject to Article VI, as of each Business Day prior to the earlier of (x) the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event specified in Section 9.01(b), (c), (d), or (e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (y) the Trust Termination Date, on which Receivables are created in the Accounts (a "Transfer Date"), the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey, without recourse (except as expressly provided herein), to the Buyer, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables in each Account (other than any Receivables created in any Designated Account from and after the applicable Removal Commencement Date) and all Collateral Security with respect thereto owned by the Seller at the close of business on such Transfer Date and not theretofore conveyed to the Buyer, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds (including "proceeds" as defined in Section 9-306 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Michigan and Recoveries) thereof. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance and any subsequent sales, transfers, assignments, set-overs and conveyances do not constitute, and are not intended to result in, the creation or an assumption by the Buyer of any obligation of the Servicer, the Seller, CFC, Chrysler or any other Person in connection with the Accounts, the Receivables or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any obligation to any Dealers. In connection with such sales, the Seller agrees to record and file, at its own expense, a financing statement on form UCC-1 (and continuation statements when applicable) naming the Seller as "seller" and the Buyer as "buyer" thereon with respect to the Receivables now existing and hereafter created for the sale of chattel paper (as defined in Section 9-105 of the UCC as in effect in any state where the Seller's or the Servicer's chief executive offices or books and records relating to the Receivables are located) meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the sale and assignment of the Receivables and the Collateral Security to the Buyer, and to deliver a file- stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filing to the Buyer on or prior to the first Closing Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, and (if any additional filing is so necessary) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts. In addition, the Seller shall cause to be timely filed in the appropriate filing office any UCC-1 financing statement and continuation statement necessary to perfect any sale of Receivables to the Seller. The Buyer shall be under no obligation whatsoever to file such financing statement, or a continuation statement to such financing statement, or to make any other filing under the UCC in connection with such sales. The parties hereto intend that the transfers of Receivables effected by this Agreement be sales. In connection with such sales, the Seller further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the first Closing Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, and the applicable Removal Commencement Date, in the case of Removed Accounts, (a) to indicate in its computer files and to cause CFC to indicate in its computer files as required by the Receivables Sales Agreement dated as of the date hereof between CFC and the Seller (the "Receivables Sale Agreement"), that the Receivables created in connection with the Accounts (other than Removed Accounts) have been sold, and the Collateral Security assigned, to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and sold to the Trust pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the other Beneficiaries and (b) to deliver to the Buyer a computer file or microfiche or written list containing a true and complete list of all such Accounts (other than Removed Accounts) specifying for each such Account, as of the Cut-Off Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, and the I-5 applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, (i) its account number, (ii) the aggregate amount of Receivables outstanding in such Account and (iii) the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in such Account. Such file or list, as supplemented from time to time to reflect Additional Accounts and Removed Accounts, shall be marked as Schedule 1 to this Agreement and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. In consideration for the sale of Receivables, together with the related Collateral Security, sold to the Buyer on first Closing Date, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller $495,855,802.38 in cash. Subject to Article VI, the purchase price for the Receivables sold by the Seller to the Buyer on each Addition Date and on each Transfer Date thereafter shall be a price agreed to by the Buyer and the Seller at the time of acquisition by the Buyer, which price shall not, in the opinion of the Buyer, be materially less favorable to the Buyer than prices for transactions of a generally similar character at the time of the acquisition taking into account the quality of such Receivables and other pertinent factors; provided that such consideration shall in any event not be less than reasonably equivalent value therefor. SECTION 2.02. Representations and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the Seller and the Agreement. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Buyer as of each Closing Date that: (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Seller is a corporation duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the law of the State of Delaware and has, in all material respects, full corporate power, authority and legal right to own its properties and conduct its business as such properties are presently owned and such business is presently conducted, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. (b) Due Qualification. The Seller is duly qualified to do business and, where necessary, is in good standing as a foreign corporation (or is exempt from such requirement) and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business requires such qualification except where the failure to so qualify or obtain licenses or approvals would not have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations hereunder. (c) Due Authorization. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions provided for or contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Seller by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Seller. (d) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof, will not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under, any indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it or its properties are bound. I-6 (e) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof applicable to the Seller, will not conflict with or violate any material Requirements of Law applicable to the Seller. (f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or, to the best knowledge of the Seller, investigations, pending or threatened against the Seller, before any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the Seller, would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement, (iv) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or (v) seeking to affect adversely the income tax attributes of the Trust under the United States Federal or any State income, single business or franchise tax systems. (g) All Consents Required. All appraisals, authorizations, consents, orders, approvals or other actions of any Person or of any governmental body or official required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the fulfillment of the terms hereof or thereof, have been obtained. (h) Enforceability. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity). (i) Record of Accounts. As of the first Closing Date, in the case of initial Accounts and, as of the applicable Addition Date, in the case of the Additional Accounts, Schedule 1 to this Agreement is an accurate and complete listing in all material respects of all the Accounts as of the Cut-Off Date or the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, as the case may be, and the information contained therein with respect to the identity of such Accounts and the Receivables existing thereunder is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-Off Date or such applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, as the case may be. (j) Valid Transfer. This Agreement or, in the case of Additional Accounts, the related Assignment constitutes a valid sale, transfer and assignment to the Buyer of all right, title and interest of the Seller in the Receivables and the Collateral Security and the proceeds thereof. Upon the filing of the financing statements described in Section 2.01 with the Secretary of State of the State of Michigan and, in the case of the Receivables hereafter created and the proceeds thereof, upon the creation thereof, the Buyer shall have a first priority perfected ownership interest in such property, subject to the rights of the Purchasers in any Collateral Security in respect of the Partial Accounts (other than the I-7 vehicles relating to Principal Receivables arising in the Partial Accounts), except for Liens permitted under Section 2.05(a). Except as otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, neither the Seller nor any Person claiming through or under the Seller has any claim to or interest in the Trust Assets. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.02 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Buyer. Upon discovery by the Seller or the Buyer of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other party. In the event of any breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.02 and if, in connection therewith, the Buyer shall be obligated to purchase the Certificateholders' Interest pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller shall repurchase the Receivables and the Collateral Security and shall pay to the Buyer on the Business Day preceding the Distribution Date on which such purchase of the Certificateholders' Interest is to be made an amount equal to the purchase price for the Certificateholders' Interest as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The obligation of the Seller to purchase the Receivables pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting an event of the type specified in the first sentence of this Section 2.02 available to the Buyer and to the Investor Certificateholders (or the Trustee on behalf of the Investor Certificateholders). SECTION 2.03. Representations and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the Receivables. (a) Representations and Warranties. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Buyer that: (i) Each Receivable and all Collateral Security existing on the first Closing Date or, in the case of Additional Accounts, on the applicable Addition Date, and on each Transfer Date, has been conveyed to the Buyer free and clear of any Lien, subject to the rights of the Purchasers in any Collateral Security in respect of the Partial Accounts (other than the Vehicles relating to the Principal Receivables arising in the Partial Accounts). (ii) With respect to each Receivable and all Collateral Security existing on the first Closing Date or, in the case of Additional Accounts, on the applicable Addition Date, and on each Transfer Date, all consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by the Seller in connection with the conveyance of such Receivable or Collateral Security to the Buyer have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect. (iii) On the Cut-off Date and each Closing Date, each Initial Account is an Eligible Account and, in the case of Additional Accounts, on the applicable Additional I-8 Cut-Off Date and each subsequent Closing Date, each such Additional Account is an Eligible Account. (iv) On the first Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and, in the case of the Additional Accounts, on the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, and on each Transfer Date, each Receivable conveyed to the Buyer on such date is an Eligible Receivable or, if such Receivable is not an Eligible Receivable, such Receivable is conveyed to the Buyer in accordance with Section 2.08. (b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Buyer. Upon discovery by the Seller or the Buyer of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other party. (c) Repurchase. In the event any representation or warranty under Section 2.03(a) is not true and correct as of the date specified therein with respect to any Receivable or Account and the Buyer is, in connection therewith, required to purchase such Receivable or all Receivables in such Account pursuant to Section 2.04(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then, within 30 days (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Buyer) of the earlier to occur of the discovery of any such event by the Seller or the Buyer, or receipt by the Seller or the Buyer of written notice of any such event given by the Trustee or any Enhancement Providers, the Seller shall repurchase the Receivable or Receivables of which the Buyer is required to accept reassignment pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement on the Business Day preceding the Distribution Date on which such reassignment is to occur. The Seller shall purchase each such Receivable by making a payment to the Buyer in immediately available funds on the Business Day preceding the Distribution Date on which such reassignment is to occur in an amount equal to the Purchase Price for such Receivable. Upon payment of the Purchase Price, the Buyer shall automatically and without further action be deemed to sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Buyer in and to such Receivable, all Collateral Security and all monies due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. The Buyer shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Seller to effect the conveyance of such Receivables pursuant to this Section. The obligation of the Seller to repurchase any such Receivable shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to such obligation available to the Buyer and to the Certificateholders (or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders). SECTION 2.04. Addition of Accounts. (a) The Seller may from time to time offer to voluntarily designate additional Eligible Accounts (including Partial Accounts) to be included as Accounts, subject to the conditions specified in paragraph (b) below. If any such offer is accepted by the Buyer, Receivables and Collateral Security from such Additional Accounts shall be sold to the Buyer effective on a date (the "Addition Date") specified in a written notice provided by the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) to the Buyer and any Enhancement Providers specifying the Additional Cut-Off Date and the Addition Date for such I-9 Additional Accounts (the "Addition Notice") on or before the fifth Business Day but not more than 30th day prior to the related Addition Date (the `Notice Date"). The Addition Notice shall also specify whether such Additional Accounts are Partial Accounts. (b) The Seller shall be permitted to convey to the Buyer the Receivables and all Collateral Security related thereto in any Additional Accounts designated by the Seller as such pursuant to Section 2.04(a) only upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to the related Addition Date: (i) The Seller shall provide the Buyer and any Enhancement Providers with a timely Addition Notice. (ii) Such Additional Accounts shall all be Eligible Accounts. (iii) The Seller shall have delivered to the Buyer a duly executed written assignment (including an acceptance by the Buyer) in substantially the form of Exhibit A (the "Assignment") and the computer file microfiche or written list required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01.

(v) (A) No selection procedures believed by the Seller to be adverse to the interests of the Buyer or the Beneficiaries were used in selecting such Additional Accounts; (B) the list of Additional Accounts delivered pursuant to clause (iii) above is true and correct in all material respects as of the Additional Cut-Off Date and (C) as of each of the Notice Date and the Addition Date, neither the Seller, the Buyer nor the Servicer are insolvent nor will have been made insolvent by such transfer nor are aware of any pending insolvency. (vi) The Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied. (vii) The addition of the Receivables arising in such Additional Accounts shall not result in the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event. (viii) The Seller shall have delivered to the Buyer and any Enhancement Providers a certificate of a Vice President or more senior officer confirming the items set forth in paragraphs (ii) through (vii) above. (ix) On or before each Addition Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer and any Enhancement Providers an opinion of counsel with respect to the Receivables in the Additional Accounts substantially in the form of Exhibit B. (b) The Seller hereby represents and warrants as of the applicable Addition Date as to the matters set forth in Section 2.04(b)(v). The representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.04(b)(v) shall survive the sale and assignment of the respective Receivables and Collateral Security to the Buyer. Upon discovery by the Seller or the Buyer of a breach of any of I-10 the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the other party and to any Enhancement Providers. (c) At least 20 days prior to each Addition Date in respect of the designation of any Additional Accounts pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Seller shall have given written notice of such designation to the Rating Agencies. SECTION 2.05. Covenants of the Seller. The Seller hereby covenants that: (a) No Liens. Except for the conveyances hereunder, the Seller will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or (subject to the rights of the Purchasers with respect to the Collateral Security arising in the Partial Accounts (other than the Vehicles relating to any Principal Receivables)) suffer to exist any Lien on, any Receivable or any Collateral Security, whether now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Buyer and the Trust in, to and under the Receivables and the Collateral Security, whether now existing or hereafter created, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller. (b) Floorplan Financing Agreements and Guidelines. The Seller shall comply with and perform its servicing obligations with respect to the Accounts and Receivables in accordance with the Floorplan Financing Agreements relating to the Accounts and the Floorplan Financing Guidelines, except insofar as any failure to so comply or perform would not materially and adversely affect the rights of the Trust or any of the Beneficiaries. Subject to compliance with all Requirements of Law, the Seller may change the terms and provisions of the Floorplan Financing Agreement or the Floorplan Financing Guidelines in any respect (including the calculation of the amount or the timing of charge-offs and the rate of the finance charge assessed thereon) only if such change would be permitted pursuant to Section 3.01(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. (c) Account Allocations. In the event that the Seller is unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Buyer then the Seller agrees that it shall allocate, after the occurrence of such event, payments on each Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Account and to have such payments applied as Collections in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of Partial Accounts Collections of Principal Receivables shall be allocated to the Principal Receivables to which such Collections relate. The parties hereto agree that Non-Principal Receivables, whenever created, accrued in respect of Principal Receivables which have been conveyed to the Buyer and by the Buyer to the Trust shall continue to be a part of the Trust notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer of additional Principal Receivables to the Buyer and Collections with respect thereto shall continue to be allocated and paid in accordance with Article IV of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. (d) Delivery of Collections. In the event that the Seller receives Collections, the Seller agrees to pay the Servicer or any Successor Servicer all payments received by the Seller in respect of the Receivables as soon as practicable after receipt thereof by the Seller, but in no event later than two days after the receipt by the Seller thereof. I-11 (e) Notice of Liens. The Seller shall notify the Buyer and the Trustee promptly after becoming aware of any Lien on any Receivable other than the conveyances hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. (f) Compliance with Law. The Seller hereby agrees to comply in all material respects with all Requirements of Law applicable to the Seller. SECTION 2.06. Removal of Eligible Accounts. (a) On each Determination Date on which Accounts are removed from the Trust pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Buyer shall be deemed to have offered to the Seller automatically and without notice to or action by or on behalf of the Buyer, the right to remove Eligible Accounts from the operation of this Agreement in the manner prescribed in Section 2.06(b). (b) To accept such offer and remove Accounts, the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall take the following actions and make the following determinations: (i) not less than five Business Days prior to the Removal Commencement Date, furnish to the Buyer, the Trustee, any Enhancement Providers and the Rating Agencies a written notice (the "Removal Notice") specifying the Determination Date (which may be the Determination Date on which such notice is given) on which removal of the Receivables of one or more Accounts will commence (a "Removal Commencement Date") and the Accounts the future generated Receivables of which are to be removed from the Trust and retransferred (the "Designated Accounts"); (ii) determine on the Removal Commencement Date with respect to such Designated Accounts the aggregate balance of Principal Receivables in respect of each such Designated Account (the "Designated Balance") and amend Schedule 1 by delivering to the Buyer a computer file or microfiche or written list containing a true and complete list of the Removed Accounts specifying for each such Account, as of the Removal Commencement Date, its account number, the aggregate amount of Receivables outstanding in such Account and the Designated Balance; (iii) from and after such Removal Commencement Date, cease to transfer to the Buyer any and all Receivables arising in such Designated Accounts; (iv) from and after such Removal Commencement Date, allocate all Collections of Principal Receivables in respect of each Designated Account, first to the oldest outstanding principal balance of such Designated Account, until the Determination Date on which the Designated Balance with respect to such Designated Account is reduced to zero (the "Removal Date"); (v) on each Business Day from and after such Removal Commencement Date to and until the related Removal Date, allocate (A) to the Buyer Defaulted Receivables and Collections of Non-Principal Receivables in respect of each Designated Account, based on the ratio of the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in all Designated Accounts sold to the Buyer on such Business Day to the total aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in all such Designated Accounts on such Business Day and (B) to I-12 the Seller, the remainder of the Defaulted Receivables and Collections of Non-Principal Receivables in all such Designated Accounts on such Business Day; (vi) represent and warrant that the removal of any such Eligible Account on any Removal Date shall not, in the reasonable belief of the Seller, cause an Early Amortization Event to occur or cause the Pool Balance to be less than the Required Participation Amount; (vii) represent and warrant that no selection procedures believed by the Seller to be adverse to the interests of the Beneficiaries were utilized in selecting the Designated Accounts; (viii) represent and warrant as of the Removal Date that the list of Removed Accounts delivered pursuant to clause (ii) above, as of the Removal Commencement Date, is true and complete in all material respects; and (ix) on or before the related Removal Commencement Date, deliver to Buyer, the Trustee and any Enhancement Providers an Officers' Certificate confirming the items set forth in clauses (vi) and (viii) above and confirming that the Seller reasonably believes that the removal of the Removed Accounts will not result in the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event; the Buyer may conclusively rely on such officers' Certificate and shall have no duty to make inquiries with regard to the matters set forth therein and shall incur no liability in so relying. (b) Subject to Section 2.06(b), on the Removal Date with respect to any such Designated Account, the Seller shall cease to allocate any Collections therefrom in accordance with Section 2.06(b) and such Designated Account shall be deemed removed by operation of this Agreement for all purposes (a "Removed Account"). After the Removal Date and upon the written request of the Servicer, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller a reassignment in substantially the form of Exhibit D (the "Reassignment"). SECTION 2.07.
