delivered to or upon the order of the Transferor. The issuance of any such
Supplemental Certificate to a Person other than the Transferor or any of its

the name of and on behalf of the Trust shall have power and authority, and is
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to
which the Trust is to be a party and each certificate or other document attached
as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which the Trust
is to be a party, or any amendment thereto or other agreement, in each case, in
such form as the Transferor shall approve as evidenced conclusively by the Owner
Trustee's execution thereof and the Transferor's execution of the related
documents. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee in the name of and on
behalf of the Trust shall also have power and authority and is hereby authorized
and empowered, but shall not be obligated, in the name of and on behalf of the

Documents. The Owner Trustee is hereby further authorized and empowered from
time to time to take such action as the Transferor or the Administrator directs
in writing with respect to the Transaction Documents.

SECTION 5.02. General Duties. It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to
discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the
Trust is a party and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Transferor,
subject to the Transaction Documents and in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed
to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the other
Transaction Documents to the extent the Administrator has agreed in the
Administration Agreement or another Transaction Document to perform any act or
to discharge any duty of the Owner Trustee or the Trust under any Transaction
Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable for the default
or failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the
Administration Agreement.
SECTION 5.03. Action Upon Instruction.
(a) The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or
under any other Transaction Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably
determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to
result in personal liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to
the terms of any Transaction Document or is otherwise contrary to law.
(b) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative
courses of action permitted or required by the terms of any Transaction
Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be
appropriate under the circumstances) to the Transferor requesting instruction as
to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts
or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with such written
instruction of the Transferor received, the Owner Trustee shall not be
personally liable on account of such action or inaction to any Person. If the
Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten (10)
days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be
specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may,
but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not in
violation of the Transaction Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best
interest of the Transferor, and shall have no personal liability to any Person
for such action or inaction.
(c) In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of
any provision of any Transaction Document or any such provision is ambiguous as
to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other
applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any
determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the
course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a
particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in such form as
shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Transferor requesting
instruction and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee acts or refrains from
acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction received, the Owner
Trustee shall not be personally liable, on account of such action or inaction,
to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate
instruction within ten (10) days of such notice (or within such shorter period
of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under
the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from
taking such action, not in violation of the Transaction Documents, as it shall
deem to be in the best interests of the Transferor, and shall have no personal
liability to any Person for such action or inaction.
-11-
16
SECTION 5.04. No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in
Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage,
make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or
otherwise deal with the Trust or the Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or
refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Agreement or
any document contemplated hereby to which the Trust is a party, except as
expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or in any document or written
instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 5.03; and no
implied duties or obligations shall be read into any Transaction Document
against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for
any filing or recording, including filing any financing or continuation
statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain
the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it or the Trust
hereunder or to prepare or file any Commission filing for the Trust or to record
any Transaction Document. The Owner Trustee in its individual capacity
nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all
action as may be necessary to discharge any liens on any part of the Trust
Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity that are not related to the ownership or the administration
of the Trust Estate or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.
SECTION 5.05. No Action Except under Specified Documents or Instructions.
The Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise
deal with any part of the Trust Estate except (i) in accordance with the powers
granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Transaction Documents and (iii) in
accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee
pursuant to Section 5.03.
SECTION 5.06. Restrictions. The Owner Trustee shall not take any action (a)
that, to the actual knowledge of the Owner Trustee, would violate the purposes
of the Trust set forth in Section 2.03 or (b) that, to the actual knowledge of
the Owner Trustee, would result in the Trust's becoming taxable as a corporation
or publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes. The Transferor
shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the
provisions of this Section 5.06.
ARTICLE VI

part of the Trust Estate upon the terms of the Transaction Documents. The Owner
Trustee shall not be personally answerable or accountable under any Transaction
Document under any circumstances, except (i) for its own willful misconduct or
negligence or (ii) in the case of the inaccuracy of any representation or
warranty contained in Section 6.03 expressly made by the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity. In particular, but not by way of limitation (and subject to
the exceptions set forth in the preceding sentence):
-12-
17
(a) the Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by the Owner Trustee;
(b) the Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the instructions of

(c) no provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall
require the Owner Trustee to expend or risk funds or otherwise incur any
personal financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its

reasonably assured or provided to it;
(d) under no circumstances shall the Owner Trustee be personally liable for
indebtedness evidenced by or arising under any of the Transaction Documents,
including the principal of and interest on the Notes;
(e) the Owner Trustee shall not be responsible for or in respect of the

Certificates (other than the genuineness of the Owner Trustee's signature on the
certificate of authentication on the Certificates) and the Owner Trustee shall

rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or

Agreement or any other Transaction Document, at the request, order or direction
of the Transferor, unless the Transferor has offered to the Owner Trustee
security or indemnity satisfactory to them against the costs, expenses and
liabilities that may be incurred by them therein or thereby. The right of the
Owner Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document shall not be construed as a duty, and the Owner
Trustee shall not be answerable or liable to any Person for any such act other
than liability to the Trust and the beneficial owners of the Trust for its own
negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act or the
omission to perform any such act; and
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Owner
Trustee shall not be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than
in the State of Delaware if the taking of
-13-
18
such action will: (i) require the registration with, licensing by or the taking
of any other similar action in respect of, any state or other governmental
authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware by or
with respect to the Owner Trustee; (ii) result in any fee, tax or other
governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction or any political
subdivisions thereof in existence on the date hereof other than the State of
Delaware becoming payable by the Owner Trustee; or (iii) subject the Owner
Trustee to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of
Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of
the transactions by the Owner Trustee contemplated hereby. The Owner Trustee
shall be entitled to obtain advice of counsel (which advice shall be an expense
of the Transferor) to determine whether any action required to be taken pursuant
to the Agreement results in the consequences described in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) of the preceding sentence. In the event that said counsel advises the
Owner Trustee that such action will result in such consequences, the Transferor
shall appoint an additional trustee pursuant to Section 9.05 hereof to proceed
with such action.
SECTION 6.02. Furnishing of Documents. The Owner Trustee shall furnish to

represents and warrants to the Transferor that:

obligations under this Agreement.

and delivery by it of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be executed and
delivered by one of its officers who is duly authorized to execute and deliver
this Agreement on its behalf.
(c) Neither the execution nor the delivery by it of this Agreement, nor the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by it

[Delaware] law, governmental rule or regulation governing the banking or trust
powers of the Owner Trustee or any judgment or order binding on it, or
constitute any default under its charter documents or by-laws or any indenture,
mortgage, contract, agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which
any of its properties may be bound.
SECTION 6.04. Reliance; Advice of Counsel.
(a) The Owner Trustee shall incur no personal liability to anyone in acting
upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order,
certificate, report, opinion, bond, or other document or paper reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and reasonably believed by it to be signed by the
proper party or parties. The Owner Trustee may accept a certified copy of a
resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any Person as
conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and
that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the method
of the determination of which is not specifically prescribed
-14-
19
herein, the Owner Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate,
signed by the president or any vice president or by the treasurer or other
authorized officer of an appropriate Person, as to such fact or matter, and such
certificate shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.
(b) In the exercise or administration of the trusts hereunder and in the
performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents, the Owner Trustee (i) may act directly or through its

the Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable for the conduct or misconduct
of such agents or attorneys if such agents or attorneys shall have been selected
by the Owner Trustee with reasonable care, and (ii) may consult with counsel,
accountants and other skilled Persons to be selected with reasonable care and

opinion or written advice of any such counsel, accountants or other such
Persons.
SECTION 6.05. Not Acting in Individual Capacity. Except as expressly
provided in this Article VI, in accepting the trusts hereby created,
[_________________________] acts solely as Owner Trustee hereunder and not in
its individual capacity, and all Persons having any claim against the Owner
Trustee by reason of the transactions contemplated by any Transaction Document
shall look only to the Trust Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof.
SECTION 6.06. Owner Trustee Not Liable for Notes or Receivables. The
statements contained herein and in the Certificates, Notes and other Transaction
Documents (other than the genuineness of the signature and authentication (as
applicable) of the Owner Trustee on the Certificates and its representations and
warranties in Section 6.03) shall be taken as the statements of the Transferor,
and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The
Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the Notes, the Certificates (other
than the genuineness of the signature and authentication (as applicable) of the
Owner Trustee on the Certificates) or any related documents. The Owner Trustee
shall at no time have any personal responsibility or liability for or with
respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of the Receivables or the
perfection and priority of any security interest in the Receivables or the
maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the
sufficiency of the Trust Estate or its ability to generate the payments to be
distributed to the Noteholders under the Indenture, including, without
limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of the Receivables; the
existence and contents of the Receivables on any computer or other record
thereof; the validity of the assignment of the Receivables to the Trust or of
any intervening assignment; the completeness of the Receivables; the performance
or enforcement of the Receivables; the compliance by the Transferor with any
warranty or representation made under any Transaction Document or in any related
document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation or any action of
the Administrator, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee taken in the name of
the Owner Trustee.
SECTION 6.07. Owner Trustee May Own Notes. The Owner Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may deal with the Transferor, the Administrator, the Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee in banking transactions with the same rights as it would have if it were
not Owner Trustee.

Transferor for its other reasonable expenses hereunder, including the reasonable
compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents, representatives,
experts and counsel as the Owner Trustee may employ in connection with the

liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, taxes, claims, actions and suits, and
any and all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable
legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively,
"Expenses") which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against the Owner Trustee or any Indemnified Party in any way relating to or
arising out of the Transaction Documents, the Trust Estate, the acceptance and
administration of the Trust Estate or any action or inaction of the Owner
Trustee; provided that the Transferor shall not be liable for or required to
indemnify any Indemnified Party from and against Expenses arising or resulting

required to indemnify an Indemnified Party from and against expenses arising or
resulting from (i) the Indemnified Party's own willful misconduct, bad faith or
negligence, or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained
in Section 6.03 . An Indemnified Party's right to enforce such obligation shall
be subject to the provisions of Section 10.08. The indemnities contained in this
Section 7.02 shall survive the resignation or termination of the Owner Trustee
or the termination of this Agreement. In the event of any claim, action or

Owner Trustee's choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of the
Transferor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
SECTION 7.03. Payments to the Owner Trustee. Any amounts paid to an

ARTICLE IX
SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES AND ADDITIONAL OWNER TRUSTEES
SECTION 9.01. Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee
shall at all times be a Person authorized to exercise trust powers; having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision
or examination by federal or state authorities; and having (or having a parent
which has) a rating [of at least Baa3 by Moody's, at least BBB- by Standard &
Poor's and, if rated by Fitch, at least BBB- by Fitch, or otherwise]
satisfactory to each Rating Agency (it being understood that [______________] is
satisfactory to the Rating Agencies). If such Person shall publish reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this
Section 9.01, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.01, the
Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 9.02.
SECTION 9.02. Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee
may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by
giving written notice thereof to the Transferor; provided, however, that such
resignation and discharge shall only be effective upon the appointment of a
successor Owner Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Transferor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no
successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.
If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9.01 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Transferor, or if at any
-17-
22
time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property
shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the
Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Transferor may, but shall not be required
to, remove the Owner Trustee. If the Transferor shall remove the Owner Trustee
under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Transferor shall
promptly (i) appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner
Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee and (ii) pay all
amounts owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a
successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.02
shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor
Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.03 and, in the case of removal, payment of
all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Transferor shall
provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each
Rating Agency.
SECTION 9.03. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee
appointed pursuant to Section 9.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Transferor and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of
the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor under
this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The
predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to
the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it
under this Agreement; and the Transferor and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 9.03 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee
shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.01.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to
this Section 9.03, the Transferor shall mail notice of such acceptance of
appointment including the name of such successor Owner Trustee to the
Transferor, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and each Rating Agency. If
the Transferor shall fail to mail such notice within ten (10) days after
acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner
Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Transferor.
SECTION 9.04. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any Person into which the Owner 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 Owner
Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all
of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of
the Owner Trustee hereunder (provided that such Person shall meet the
eligibility requirements set forth in Section
-18-
23
9.01), without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto; provided further that the Owner Trustee
shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to each Rating Agency.
SECTION 9.05. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Transferor and the Owner
Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by each of the Transferor
and the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate,
and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any
part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.05, such
powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Transferor and the Owner
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Transferor shall not have
joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a
request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to
Section 9.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.03.
Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law,
be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) all rights, powers, duties, and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the
Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being
understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act
separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are
to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties, and
obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof
in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such
separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner
Trustee;
(ii) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and
(iii) the Transferor and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any
time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in
its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or
separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this
Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to
-19-
24
the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the
Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a
copy thereof given to the Transferor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new
or successor trustee.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 10.01. Supplements and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended
from time to time, by a written amendment duly executed and delivered by the
Transferor and the Owner Trustee, with the written consent of the Indenture
Trustee, but without the consent of any of the Noteholders, and upon
satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, to cure any ambiguity, to correct
or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders;
provided, however, that such amendment will not (i) as evidenced by an Officer's
Certificate of the Transferor addressed and delivered to the Owner Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interest of any
Noteholder or cause the Trust to fail to be treated as a "qualified special
purpose entity" as defined in FASB Statement No. 125 and (ii) as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel addressed and delivered to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee, cause the Trust to be classified as an association (or a
publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes; provided, further, that Section 2.03 of this Agreement may be amended
only with the consent of the Holders of Notes representing more than 50% of the
Outstanding Amount of all Series. Additionally, notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, this Agreement will be amended by the Transferor and the Owner Trustee
without the consent of the Indenture Trustee or any of the Noteholders to add,
modify or eliminate such provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to
enable all or a portion of the Trust (i) to qualify as, and to permit an
election to be made to cause the Trust to be treated as, a "financial asset
securitization investment trust" as described in the provisions of Section 860L
of the Code, and (ii) to avoid the imposition of state or local income or
franchise taxes imposed on the Trust's property or its income; provided,
however, that (i) the Transferor delivers to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner

the requirements set forth in this subsection, (ii) the Rating Agency Condition
shall have been satisfied with respect to such amendment and (iii) such
amendment does not affect the rights, benefits, protections, privileges,
immunities, duties or obligations of the Owner Trustee hereunder. The amendments
which the Transferor may make without the consent of Noteholders pursuant to the
preceding sentence may include, without limitation, the addition of a sale of
Receivables.

duly executed and delivered by the Transferor and the Owner Trustee, with the

or consent to the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency.

consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof.

TRANSFEROR CERTIFICATE
THIS CERTIFICATE REPRESENTS AN INTEREST IN CERTAIN
ASSETS OF THE ADVANTA BUSINESS CARD MASTER TRUST
Evidencing an undivided beneficial interest in a trust, the corpus of which
consists primarily of receivables generated from time to time in the ordinary
course of business in a portfolio of revolving credit card accounts transferred
by Advanta Business Receivables Corp. (the "Transferor").
(This Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of the
Transferor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any
affiliate thereof)
This certifies that ADVANTA BUSINESS RECEIVABLES CORP. is the registered
owner of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of a trust (the "Trust")
subject to the lien of the Notes created pursuant to the Master Indenture, dated
as of _________ __, 2000 (as amended and supplemented, the "Indenture"), between
the Trust and [______ ] as Indenture Trustee, established pursuant to the Trust
Agreement, dated as of _________ __, 2000 (as amended and supplemented, the
"Trust Agreement"), between Advanta Business Receivables Corp., a Nevada
corporation, as Transferor, and [_________________________], as owner trustee
(the "Owner Trustee"). The corpus of the Trust consists of (a) an undivided
beneficial interest in a portfolio of certain receivables (the "Receivables")
existing in the revolving credit card accounts identified under the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of [______], 2000, as amended from time to time
(the "Transfer and Servicing Agreement"), among the Transferor, Advanta Bank
Corp., as Servicer (the "Servicer") and the Trust, as Issuer, from time to time
(the "Accounts"), (b) certain funds collected or to be collected from
accountholders in respect of the Receivables, (c) all funds which are from time
to time on deposit in the Collection Account, the Excess Funding Account and in
the Series Accounts, (d) the benefits of any Series Enhancements issued and to
be issued by Series Enhancers with respect to one or more Series of Notes and
(e) all other assets and interests constituting the

Trust, including Interchange and Recoveries allocated to the Trust pursuant to
the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. Although a summary of certain provisions
of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Indenture
(collectively, the "Agreements") is set forth below, this Certificate does not
purport to summarize the Agreements and reference is made to the Agreements for
information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations,
proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of
the Owner Trustee. A copy of the Agreements may be requested from the Owner
Trustee by writing to the Owner Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Agreements.
This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreements, to which Agreements, as amended and
supplemented from time to time, the Transferor by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and is bound.
The Receivables consist of Principal Receivables which arise generally
from the purchase of merchandise and services and amounts advanced to
cardholders as cash advances and Finance Charge and Administrative Receivables
which arise generally from Periodic Rate Finance Charges, Late Fees and other
fees and charges with respect to the Accounts.
This Certificate (this "Certificate") is the Transferor Certificate,
which represents the Transferor's undivided beneficial interest in certain
assets of the Trust, subject to the lien of the Notes, including the right to
receive a portion of the Collections and other amounts at the times and in the
amounts specified in the Indenture. In addition to the Transferor Certificate,
(a) Notes will be issued to investors pursuant to the Indenture and (b)
Supplemental Certificates may be issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement. This
Certificate may be exchanged for an uncertificated beneficial interest in the
Trust (the "Transferor Beneficial Interest").
Unless otherwise specified in an Indenture Supplement with respect to a
particular Series, the Transferor has entered into the Transfer and Servicing
Agreement, and this Certificate is issued, with the intention that, for federal,
state and local income and franchise tax purposes, (a) the Notes of each Series
which are characterized as indebtedness at the time of their issuance will
qualify as indebtedness of the Transferor secured by the Receivables and (b) the
Trust shall not be treated as an association (or a publicly traded partnership)
taxable as a corporation. The Transferor by the acceptance of this Certificate,
agrees to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income tax purposes as
indebtedness of the Transferor.
Subject to certain conditions and exceptions specified in the
Agreements, the obligations created by the Agreements and the Trust created
thereby shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) at the option of the Transferor,
the day on which the rights of all Series of Notes to receive payments from the
Trust have terminated (the "Trust Termination Date") and (b) dissolution of the
Trust in accordance with applicable law.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or
on behalf of the Owner Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not
be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
