(b) Neither the Owner Trustee nor any Certificateholder will, under any circumstances, and at any time, make an election on IRS Form 8832 or otherwise, to classify the Trust as an association taxable as a corporation for federal, state or any other applicable tax purpose.

(c) If there is more than one owner of the Certificates, due to the sale of the Certificates, issuance by the Trust of additional Certificates to a Person other than the Residual Holder or otherwise, the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, by entering into this Agreement, and the Residual Holder and the Certificateholders, by acquiring any Certificates or interest therein, (i) express their intention that the Certificates will qualify as equity interests in a partnership for federal income tax purposes and (ii) unless otherwise required by the appropriate taxing authorities, agree to treat the Certificates as equity interests in a partnership for the purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes, and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by, or based upon gross or net income. The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Trust shall file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with such characterization of the Trust for tax purposes. At any such time that the Trust has two or more equity owners, this Agreement will be amended, in accordance with Section 10.1 herein, and appropriate provisions will be added so as to provide for the treatment of the Trust as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.

ARTICLE III.
CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS

Section 3.1. Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.5 and until the issuance of the Certificate to the initial Certificateholder, the Depositor will be the sole beneficiary of the Trust.

Section 3.2. The Certificates. Each Certificate will be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee. A Certificate bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures will have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, will be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them will have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificate. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions herein and those conditions stated on the Certificate, a transferee of a Certificate will become a Certificateholder, and will be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder, upon due registration of

such Certificate in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.4. Each Certificate will be issuable in minimum denominations of no less than 5% of the beneficial interest in the Trust. Each Certificate will represent a Beneficial Interest in the Trust.

Section 3.3. Authentication of Certificates. Concurrently with the initial sale of the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee will cause the Certificates to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board, its president or any vice president, its treasurer or any assistant treasurer without further action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations. No Certificate will entitle its Holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or will be valid for any purpose, unless there will appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature; such authentication will constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate is duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Each Certificate will be dated the date of its authentication.

Section 3.4. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. The Certificate Registrar will keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.7, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Owner Trustee will provide for the registration of the Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of the Certificates as herein provided. The Owner Trustee will be the initial Certificate Registrar.

The initial Certificateholder will provide the Certificate Registrar and the Indenture Trustee with its name and address on the Closing Date. Upon any transfers of a Certificate, the Certificate Registrar will notify the Indenture Trustee of the name and address of each transferee in writing, by facsimile, on the day of such transfer.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of a Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.7, the Owner Trustee will execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee, a new Certificate dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent.

A Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange will be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange will be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Owner Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.

No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Certificate, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expense, tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of a Certificate.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no sale, pledge or other transfer of a Certificate will be made unless (a) such sale, pledge or other transfer (i) is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws

or (ii) is made to a Person that is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (b) such sale, pledge or other transfer will not cause the Trust to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, and (c) such sale, pledge or other transfer is made to a Person who is a United States Person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and who has delivered to the Owner Trustee satisfactory evidence thereof. Each prospective purchaser of a Certificate after the Closing Date will deliver a completed and duly executed transferee’s certificate (in the form of Exhibit C for “qualified institutional buyers”), to the Owner Trustee and to the transferor for inspection prior to effecting any requested transfer. The Issuer and the Owner Trustee may rely conclusively upon the information contained in any such transferee’s certificate in the absence of knowledge to the contrary. In connection with any transfer (other than the purchase of any Certificate by a purchaser who delivers a transferee’s certificate in the form of Exhibit C), the Owner Trustee will require an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel, if so required, will be addressed to the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and will be secured at the expense of the Holder. The Owner Trustee may rely upon the representation of any transferee made to the Owner Trustee, and upon such Opinion of Counsel, and will be fully protected in so doing. Any Certificateholders will be deemed to have agreed to these restrictions on transfer.

In order to preserve the exemption for resales and transfers provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act, the Issuer will provide to any Certificateholder and any prospective purchaser designated by such Certificateholder, upon request of such Certificateholder or such prospective purchaser, such information required by Rule 144A as will enable the resale of such Certificate to be made pursuant to Rule 144A. The Owner Trustee will cooperate with the Issuer in providing the Issuer such information in its possession regarding the Certificates, the Receivables and other matters regarding the Certificates as the Issuer will reasonably request to meet its obligations under the preceding sentence.

At the option of a Holder, a Certificate may be exchanged for one or more other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate beneficial interest in the Trust upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office maintained pursuant to Section 3.7. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and deliver one or more Certificates dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. Such Certificates shall be delivered to the Holder making the exchange.

Section 3.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

(a) If (i) any mutilated Certificate will be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar will receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there will be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust will execute, and the Owner Trustee will authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.5, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate

Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expense, tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.5 will constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate will be found at any time.

(b) If, after the delivery of a replacement Certificate or payment in respect of a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate pursuant to Section 3.5(a), a protected purchaser of the original Certificate in lieu of which such replacement Certificate was issued presents for payment such original Certificate, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to recover such payment from the Person to whom such replacement Certificate was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Certificate from such Person to whom such replacement Certificate was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Owner Trustee in connection therewith.

(c) The provisions of this Section 3.5 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.

Section 3.6. Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Every Person by virtue of becoming a Certificateholder in accordance with this Agreement is deemed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Security Insurer, and any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Security Insurer, may treat the person in whose name any Certificate will be registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Security Insurer nor any agent of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Security Insurer will be bound by any notice to the contrary.

Section 3.7. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Owner Trustee will maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee initially designates its principal Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Owner Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Certificateholders and (unless an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) the Security Insurer of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

Section 3.8. ERISA Restrictions. The Certificates may not be acquired by or for the account of (a) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a plan (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or (c) any entity whose underlying assets include assets of a plan described in (a) or (b) above by reason of such plan’s investment in the entity (including, without limitation, an insurance company general account) (each, a “Benefit Plan”). By accepting and

holding its beneficial ownership interest in its Certificate, the Holder thereof is deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.

Section 3.9. Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The Owner Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer and the Depositor, within 15 days after receipt by the Owner Trustee of a request therefor from the Servicer or the Depositor in writing, a list of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF OWNER TRUSTEE

Section 5.1. General Authority. The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Trust is named as a party and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust is named as a party and any amendment thereto, in each case, in such form as the Majority Certificateholders will approve as evidenced conclusively by the Owner Trustee’s execution thereof, and on behalf of the Trust, to direct the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $140,000,000, Class A-2a Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $60,000,000, Class A-2b Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $155,000,000, Class A-3a Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $35,000,000, Class A-3b Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $72,000,000, Class A-4a Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $36,330,000 and Class A-4b Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized, but will not be obligated, to take all actions required of the Trust pursuant to the Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee is further authorized from time to time to take such action as the Instructing Party recommends with respect to the Basic Documents.

Section 5.2. General Duties. It will 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 to administer the Trust in the interest of the Holders, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities under the Basic Documents to the extent the Servicer or Administrator has agreed to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Trust or the Owner Trustee hereunder or under any Basic Document, and the Owner Trustee will not be liable for the default or failure of the Servicer or Administrator to carry out its obligations.

Section 5.3. Action upon Instruction.

(a) Subject to Article IV, the Security Insurer (so long as any Class A Notes are outstanding and an Insurer Default will not have occurred and be continuing) or the Majority Certificateholders (if an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing or if no Class A Notes are outstanding) (the “Instructing Party”) has the exclusive right to direct the actions of the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust. The Instructing Party will ensure that such instructions are not inconsistent with the express terms set forth herein or in any Basic Document. The Instructing Party will not instruct the Owner Trustee in a manner inconsistent with the Basic Documents.

(b) The Owner Trustee will not be required to take any action hereunder or under any Basic Document if the Owner Trustee has reasonably determined, or has been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any Basic Document or is otherwise contrary to law.

(c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any Basic Document,

the Owner Trustee will promptly give notice (in such form as will be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Instructing Party requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Instructing Party received, the Owner Trustee will not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee will not have received appropriate instruction within 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 will be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with the Basic Documents, as it will deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and will have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

(d) If the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Basic 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 if 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 will be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Instructing Party 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 will not be liable, on account of such action or inaction, to any Person. If the Owner Trustee will not have received appropriate instruction within 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 will be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with the Basic Documents, as it will deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and will have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

Section 5.4. No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions. The Owner Trustee will not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Owner Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3; and no implied duties or obligations will be read into this Agreement or any Basic Document against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee will have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any filing for the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to record this Agreement or any Basic Document. The Owner Trustee 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 Owner Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee (solely in its individual capacity) and that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Owner Trust Estate.

Section 5.5. No Action Except under Specified Documents or Instructions. The Owner Trustee will not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Owner Trust Estate except (a) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (b) in accordance with the Basic

Documents or (c) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3.

Section 5.6. Restrictions. The Owner Trustee will not take any action (a) that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.3 or (b) that, to the actual knowledge of the Owner Trustee, would result in the Trust’s becoming taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. No Certificateholder will direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section 5.6.

Upon presentation and surrender of a Certificate, the Owner Trustee will instruct the Indenture Trustee to cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders thereof amounts distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

If a Certificateholder does not surrender its Certificate for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Owner Trustee will give a second written notice to such Certificateholder to surrender its Certificate for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice the Certificate will not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Owner Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact such Certificateholder concerning surrender of its Certificate, and the cost thereof will be paid out of the funds and other assets that will remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies will be distributed, subject to applicable escheat laws, by the Owner Trustee to the Certificateholders.

(d) Upon the completion of the winding up of the Trust in accordance with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute and its termination, the Owner Trustee will cause the Certificate of Trust to be canceled by filing a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Statute.

ARTICLE IX.
SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES AND ADDITIONAL OWNER TRUSTEES

Section 9.1. Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee will at all times be a corporation (i) satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute; (ii) authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; (iii) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities; and (iv) acceptable to the Security Insurer in its sole discretion (so long as an Insurer Default will not have occurred and be continuing). If such corporation will 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 9.1, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation will 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 will cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1, the Owner Trustee will resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.2.

Section 9.2. 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 Depositor, the Security Insurer, the Administrator and the Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Administrator will promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument will be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee, provided that the Administrator has received written confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies that the proposed appointment will not result in an increased capital charge to the Security Insurer by either of the Rating Agencies. If no successor Owner Trustee has been so appointed and has accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee or the Security Insurer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.

If at any time the Owner Trustee will cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1 and will fail to resign after written request therefor by the Administrator, or if at any time the Owner Trustee will be legally unable to act, or will be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property will be appointed, or any public officer will take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Administrator with the consent of the Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default will not have occurred and be continuing) may remove the Owner Trustee. If the Administrator removes the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrator will promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument will be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed, one copy to the Security Insurer and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee and payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.2 will not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.3 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Administrator will provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

Section 9.3. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.2 will execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Security Insurer 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 will become effective and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, will 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 will upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Depositor, the Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee will 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 will accept appointment as provided in this Section 9.3 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee will be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 9.3, the Administrator will mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Security Insurer and the Rating Agencies. If the Administrator fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee will cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Administrator.

Section 9.4. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any corporation into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee will be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, will be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation will be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided further that the Owner Trustee will mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies.

Section 9.5. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Owner Trustee acting jointly have the power and will execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee and the Security Insurer to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Owner 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 9.5, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer has not joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee subject (unless an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) to the approval of the Security Insurer (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) has the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement will be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 9.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee will be required pursuant to Section 9.3.

Each separate trustee and co-trustee will, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(a) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee will 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 will 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) will be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

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

(c) the Administrator 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 will 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 will refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, will be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument will be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer and the Security Insurer.

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 should die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts will vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1. Supplements and Amendments.

(a) This Agreement may be amended by the Depositor, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee, with the prior written consent of the Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default will not have occurred and be continuing) and with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect or (ii) to correct, supplement or modify any provisions in this Agreement; provided, however, that such action will not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel which may be based upon a certificate of the Servicer, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or Certificateholder.

(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time, with the prior written consent of the Security Insurer (so long as an Insurer Default will not have occurred and be continuing), by the Depositor, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, to the extent such amendment materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders, with the consent of the Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, and the consent of the Majority

Certificateholders (which consent of any Certificateholder or Noteholder given pursuant to this Section 10.1(b) or pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement will be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder or Noteholder) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, however, that, subject to the express rights of the Security Insurer under the Basic Documents, no such amendment will (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on Receivables or distributions that will be required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes and aforesaid percentage of the Certificateholders required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all the outstanding Notes and Certificates.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Owner Trustee will furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Security Insurer, and each of the Rating Agencies.

It will not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholders, the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.1(b) to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient if such consent will approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of the Certificateholders provided for in this Agreement or in any other Basic Document) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by the Certificateholders will be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Owner Trustee may prescribe. Promptly after the execution of any amendment to the Certificate of Trust, the Owner Trustee will cause the filing of such amendment with the Secretary of State.

Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or the Certificate of Trust, the Owner Trustee will be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee may, but will not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Owner Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 10.2. No Legal Title to Owner Trust Estate in Certificateholders. No Certificateholder will have legal title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate. The Certificateholders will be entitled to receive distributions in accordance with Article VIII. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any right, title or interest of a Certificateholder to and in its ownership interest in the Owner Trust Estate will operate to terminate this Agreement or the trust hereunder or entitle any transferee to an accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate.

Section 10.3. Limitations on Rights of Others. The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders, the Servicer and, to the extent expressly provided herein, the Security Insurer, the Swap Counterparty, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, and nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, will be construed to give to any other Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or

claim in the Owner Trust Estate or under or in respect of this Agreement or any covenants, conditions or provisions contained herein.

(Reverse of Certificate)

This Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Depositor, the Administrator, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or any Affiliates of any of them and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated herein or in the Basic Documents. In addition, this Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections with respect to the Receivables, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. A copy of each of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Depositor, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Administrator, by any Certificateholder upon written request.

The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Security Insurer, the Majority Noteholders and the Majority Certificateholders. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of any Certificateholder.

As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained by the Owner Trustee accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new Certificate evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is Wilmington Trust Company. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expense, tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Owner Trustee may decline to register this Certificate if (1) the registration of this Certificate in the name of the purchaser or other transferee, in the reasonable belief of the Owner Trustee, will cause the Trust to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, or (2) the purchaser or the transferee seeking registration of this Certificate is not a United States Person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) or fails to deliver to the Owner Trustee satisfactory evidence of its status as such a United States Person.

The Owner Trustee, the Security Insurer and any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Security Insurer may treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Security Insurer nor any such agent will be affected by any notice to the contrary.

A-5

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust created thereby will terminate upon: the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Receivable (including the purchase by the Servicer at its option of the corpus of the Trust as described in Section 10.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) and the subsequent distribution of amounts in respect of such Receivables as provided in the Basic Documents, or (ii) the payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the payment to the Security Insurer of all amounts payable or reimbursable to it pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Servicer may at its option purchase the corpus of the Trust at a price specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and such purchase of the Receivables and other property of the Trust will effect early retirement of this Certificate; however, such right of purchase is exercisable, subject to certain restrictions in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, only as of the last day of any Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Original Pool Balance.

The recitals contained herein will be taken as the statements of the Trust 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 Certificate or of any Receivable or related document.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon will have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature, this Certificate will not entitle the Holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Re: Triad Automobile Receivables Trust 2007-B, Trust Certificate No.

Dear Sirs:

In connection with the proposed purchase by the buyer listed below (the “Buyer”) of the above-referenced Trust Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement, dated as of November 21, 2007 (the “Trust Agreement”) among Triad Financial Special Purpose LLC, as depositor (the “Depositor”), Triad Financial Corporation, as administrator (the “Administrator”) and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee and not in its individual capacity (the “Owner Trustee”), relating to the Triad Automobile Receivables Trust 2007–B Certificate, the Buyer advises you that the Buyer is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and is acquiring beneficial ownership of the Certificate for its own account or for the account of another “qualified institutional buyer.” In addition to the foregoing, you may rely on the information provided in Annex 1 or 2, as applicable, attached hereto and incorporated herein.

The Buyer understands that the Certificate has not been registered under the 1933 Act or the securities laws of any state. The Buyer acknowledges that it has independently conducted such investigation and evaluation of the merits and the risks involved in an investment in the Certificate and has received such information (whether from the Depositor, the transferor from which it proposes to purchase the Certificate, or from any other source) as the Buyer has deemed necessary and advisable in order to make its investment decision. The Buyer has had any questions arising from such investigation and evaluation answered by the Issuer to the satisfaction of the Buyer. The Buyer is a sophisticated institutional investor, having such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters generally, and with respect to asset-backed notes and investments in “non-prime” and “sub-prime” automobile loans specifically, that it is capable of independently evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Certificate. In the normal course of its business, the Buyer invests in or purchases certificates similar to the Certificate. The Buyer is aware that it may be required to bear the economic risk

of an investment in the Certificate for an indefinite period of time, and it is able to bear such risk for an indefinite period.


		Very truly yours,
