Section 2.2. Office. The principal place of business of the Trust for purposes of Delaware law shall be in care of the Owner Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Owner Trustee or at such other address as the Owner Trustee may designate by written notice to the Certificateholders, the Insurer and the Depositor.

(i) to issue the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the Series Supplement and the Certificates pursuant to this Agreement and the Series Supplement, and to sell the Notes;

(ii) with the proceeds of the sale of the Notes, to fund the expense of obtaining any Series Support and to pay the organizational, start-up and transactional expenses of the Trust and to pay the balance to the Depositor pursuant to the Master Sale and Servicing Agreement;

(iii) with respect to the Series Trust Estate, to assign, grant, transfer, pledge, mortgage and convey the Series Trust Estate to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and the Series Supplement for the benefit of the Secured Parties;

(iv) to enter into and perform its obligations under the Basic Documents and the Related Documents, in each case, to which it is a party;

(v) to acquire, hold and manage the Owner Trust Estate;

4 (vi) to make distributions on the Certificates in accordance with their respective terms;

(vii) to own Class SV Preferred Stock of the Depositor;

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

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

(b) The Trust is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing activities. The Trust shall not engage in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing or other than as required or authorized by the terms of this Agreement, the Basic Documents or any Related Documents.

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

Section 2.5. Initial Capital Contribution of Owner Trust Estate. The Depositor hereby sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over to the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, as of the date hereof, the sum of $1,000 and one share of Class SV Preferred Stock of the Depositor. The Owner Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt in trust from the Depositor, as of the date hereof, of the foregoing contribution, which shall constitute the initial Owner Trust Estate. The Depositor shall pay organizational expenses of the Trust as they may arise.

Section 2.6. Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it will hold the Owner Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein, on behalf of the Trust, for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to the obligations of the Trust under the Basic Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust constitute a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust Statute and that this Agreement constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, solely for income and franchise tax purposes, the Trust shall be treated as a branch; provided, however, that in the event Certificates are owned by more than one Certificateholder, it is the intention of the parties hereto that, solely for income and franchise tax purposes, the Trust shall then be treated as a partnership and that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, only after such time the Trust will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the Trust as a partnership for such tax purposes. Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set forth herein and to the extent not inconsistent herewith, in

5 the Statutory Trust Statute with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust. The Owner Trustee shall file the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State.

Section 2.7. Liability (a) The Depositor shall pay organizational expenses of the Trust as they may arise or shall, upon the request of the Owner Trustee, promptly reimburse the Owner Trustee for any such expenses paid by the Owner Trustee.

(b) No Holder, other than to the extent set forth in clause (a), shall have any personal liability for any liability or obligation of the Trust.

Section 2.8. Title to Owner Trust Estate (a) Legal title to all of the Owner Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case title shall be deemed to be vested in the Owner Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be.

(b) The holders of the Certificates shall not have legal title to any part of the Series Trust Estate. The Holders of the Certificates shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to their undivided ownership interest therein in accordance with the terms hereof and the Series Supplement. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any right, title or interest by any Certificateholder of its ownership interest in the Owner Trust Estate shall operate to terminate this Agreement or the trusts hereunder or entitle any transferee to an accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Series Trust Estate.

Section 2.9. Situs of Owner Trust Estate. The Trust will be located in the State of Delaware and administered in the State of Delaware. All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be located with the Certificate Paying Agent in the State of New York. Payments will be received by the Certificate Paying Agent on behalf of the Trust in Illinois and payments will be made by the Trust from New York.

business is presently conducted and is proposed to be conducted pursuant to this Agreement and the Basic Documents.

(b) Due Qualification. It is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property, the conduct of its business and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the Basic Documents requires such qualification and in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Depositor.

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

(d) Binding Obligations. This Agreement, when duly executed and delivered, shall constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Depositor enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable limitations on the availability of specific remedies, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(e) No Consent Required. To the best knowledge of the Depositor, no consent, license, approval or authorization or registration or declaration with, any Person or with any governmental authority, bureau or agency is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the Related Documents, except for such as have been obtained, effected or made or as to which a failure to obtain, effect or make would not have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or other) of the Depositor.

(f) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Depositor, or any material indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the Basic Documents or any applicable Related Documents); nor violate any law or, to the best of the Depositor’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court or of any Federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the

Depositor or its properties, provided, however, that the Receivables will not satisfy the Eligibility Criteria set forth in Schedule I to the Series Supplement until the Closing Date.

(g) No Proceedings. To the best of the Depositor’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to its knowledge threatened against it before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over it or its properties (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents, (C) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect its performance of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or any Related Documents, or (D) seeking to adversely affect the federal income tax or other federal, state or local tax attributes of any of the Notes or Certificates.

Section 2.11 Federal Income Tax Allocations (a) For so long as the Trust has a single owner for federal income tax purposes, it will, pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under section 7701 of the Code, be disregarded as an entity distinct from the Certificateholder for all federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, for federal income tax purposes, the Certificateholder will be treated as (i) owning all assets owned by the Trust, (ii) having incurred all liabilities incurred by the Trust, and (iii) all transactions between the Trust and the Certificateholder will be disregarded.

(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) In the event that the Trust has two equity owners for federal income tax purposes, the Trust will be treated as a partnership. At any such time that the Trust has two equity owners, this Agreement will be amended, in accordance with Section 11.1 herein, and appropriate provisions will be added so as to provide for treatment of the Trust as a partnership.

Section 2.12. Covenants of the Depositor. The Depositor agrees and covenants for the benefit of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, during the term of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that:

(a) (i) it shall not create, incur or suffer to exist any indebtedness or (ii) engage in any business, except (x) as permitted by its articles of incorporation and the Related Documents and (y) in connection with a securitization transaction (including warehousing transactions) and the related documents in which the related indebtedness is issued pursuant to an indenture having a provision substantially similar to Section 11.18 of the Indenture; provided, however, that no other Series shall be issued under the Basic Documents so long as the Notes are outstanding;

8 (b) it shall not, for any reason, institute proceedings for the Trust to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Trust, or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to the bankruptcy of the Trust, or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Trust or a substantial part of the property of the Trust or cause or permit the Trust to make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing the inability of the Trust to pay its debts generally as they become due, or declare or effect a moratorium on the debt of the Trust or take any action in furtherance of any such action;

(c) it shall obtain from each counterparty to each Basic Document to which it or the Trust is a party and each other agreement entered into on or after the date hereof to which it or the Trust is a party, an agreement by each such counterparty that prior to the occurrence of the event specified in Section 9.1(e) such counterparty shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, it or the Trust, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States; and

(d) it shall not, for any reason, withdraw or attempt to withdraw from this Agreement, dissolve, institute proceedings for it to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of it or a substantial part of its property, or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or declare or effect a moratorium on its debt or take any action in furtherance of any such action.

Section 2.13. Covenants of the Certificateholders. Each Certificateholder agrees:

(a) to be bound by the terms and conditions of the related Certificates, of this Agreement and, with respect to the holders of Certificates, of the Series Supplement, including any supplements or amendments hereto and to perform the obligations of a Certificateholder as set forth therein or herein, in all respects as if it were a signatory hereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Owner Trustee and the Secured Parties;

(b) to hereby appoint the Depositor as such Certificateholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact to sign any federal income tax information return filed on behalf of the Trust, if any, and agree that, if requested by the Trust, it will sign such federal income tax information return in its capacity as holder of an interest in the Trust. Each Certificateholder also hereby agrees that in its tax returns it will not take any position inconsistent with those taken in any tax returns that may be filed by the Trust;

9 (c) if such Certificateholder is other than an individual or other entity holding its Certificate through a broker who reports securities sales on Form 1099-B, to notify the Owner Trustee of any transfer by it of a Certificate in a taxable sale or exchange, within 30 days of the date of the transfer;

ARTICLE III

Certificates and Transfer of Interests

Section 3.1. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.5, the Trust shall issue an uncertificated ownership interest in the Trust (the “Uncertificated Certificate”) to the Depositor. Unless and until the Depositor transfers all or a portion of the Percentage Interest represented by such Uncertificated Certificate, such Uncertificated Certificate shall represent one hundred percent (100%) of the Percentage Interest. Upon issuance, the Certificates shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

Section 3.2. The Certificates (a) The Certificates shall be in uncertificated form with records of interest ownership maintained by the Certificate Registrar in the Certificate Register. If, on or after the Closing Date, the holder of any Uncertificated Certificate delivers to the Owner Trustee a written request that the Uncertificated Certificate specified in such request be issued in certificated form (a related “Certification Request”), the Owner Trustee shall promptly issue such Certificate to the holder thereof in certificated form. If a Certification Request has been delivered, the Certificate will be issued in registered form, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, and shall upon issue, be executed and delivered by the Depositor to the Owner Trustee for authentication and redelivery as provided in Section 3.3.

(b) If the Certificates are in certificated form, they shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on

10 behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificates.

(c) A transferee of a Certificate (whether in certificated or uncertificated form) shall become a Certificateholder, and shall 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.

(d) No Certificates shall be issued under this Agreement unless such Certificates have been authorized pursuant to the Series Supplement and all conditions precedent to the issuance thereof, as specified in the Series Supplement shall have been satisfied. All Certificates issued under this Agreement shall be in all respects entitled to the benefits hereof and of the Owner Trust Estate.

Section 3.3. Authentication of Certificates. If the Certificates are in certificated form, the Owner Trustee shall cause the related 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 corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement or, with respect to a Series, the Series Supplement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or its authenticating agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

Section 3.4. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates (a) The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Owner Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates (whether in certificated or uncertificated form) and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates (whether in certificated or uncertificated form) as herein provided. The Owner Trustee shall be the initial Certificate Registrar.

(b) The Certificate Registrar shall provide the Indenture Trustee with a list of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders on the Closing Date in the form which such information is provided to the Certificate Registrar by the Depositor. Upon any transfers of Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Indenture Trustee of the name and address of the transferee in writing, by facsimile, on the day of such transfer.

(c) If a Certificate is in certificated form, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate

11 and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Series in the aggregate Percentage Interest to be transferred, dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. If a Certificate is in uncertificated form, upon representation of such Certificate in accordance with Section 3.2, the Certificate Registrar shall reflect in the Certificate Register the transfer of the relevant Percentage Interest.

Certificates may be issued in any Percentage Interest not to exceed 100%.

(d) Every Certificate presented or, in the case of certificated Certificates, surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall 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, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Certificate Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Certificate Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act.

In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

Every Person by virtue of becoming a Certificateholder in accordance with this Agreement and the rules and regulations of the Certificate Registrar shall be deemed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 3.10. Securities Matters. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Owner Trustee shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with the registration provisions or exemptions from the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, applicable state securities law or the Investment Company Act; provided, however, that if a certificate is specifically required to be delivered to the Owner Trustee by a purchaser or transferee of a Certificate, the Owner Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether it conforms to the requirements of this Agreement and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if such certificate does not so conform.

Section 3.11. Distributions. Distributions shall be made from time to time by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent in accordance with the Percentage Interests of the Certificateholders.

The Certificate Majority shall not instruct the Owner Trustee in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents.

(b) The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any 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 shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificate Majority and the Insurer requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the

18 Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Certificate Majority or the Insurer, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents or as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

If the Owner Trustee shall 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 shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

The Owner Trustee shall receive as compensation for its services hereunder such fees as have been separately agreed upon before the date hereof between Household and the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Depositor 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 exercise and performance of its respective rights and duties hereunder or under the Basic Documents.

Section 8.2. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Depositor shall be liable as primary obligor for, and shall indemnify the Owner Trustee (in its individual and trustee capacities) and its officers, directors, successors, assigns, agents and servants (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from

24 and against, any and all 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 (in its trust or individual capacities) or any Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Basic Documents, the Owner Trust Estate, the administration of the Owner Trust Estate or the action or inaction of the Owner Trustee hereunder, except only that the Depositor shall not be liable for or required to indemnify the Owner Trustee from and against Expenses arising or resulting from any of the matters described in the third sentence of Section 7.1. The indemnities contained in this Section 8.2 and the rights under Section 8.1 shall survive the resignation or termination of the Owner Trustee or the termination of this Agreement. In any event of any claim, action or proceeding for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this Section, the Owner Trustee’s choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Depositor which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Any amounts paid to the Owner Trustee in its trustee capacity pursuant to this Article VIII shall be deemed not to be a part of the Owner Trust Estate immediately after such payment and any amounts so paid to the Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity shall not be so paid out of the Owner Trust Estate but shall be the property of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity.

Section 8.4. Non-recourse Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee agrees in its individual capacity and in its capacity as Owner Trustee for the Trust that all obligations of the Trust to the Owner Trustee individually or as Owner Trustee for the Trust shall be recourse to the Owner Trust Estate only and specifically shall not be recourse to the assets of any Certificateholder.

ARTICLE IX

Termination of Agreement

Section 9.1. Termination of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall terminate and the Trust shall wind up, dissolve and be of no further force or effect upon the latest to occur of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Receivable (including the optional purchase by the Depositor or the Master Servicer of the corpus of the Trust as described in Section 11.1 of the Master Sale and Servicing Agreement) and the subsequent distribution of amounts in respect of such Receivables as provided in the Basic Documents and, with respect to amounts released from the Lien of the Indenture, distribution thereof to the Certificateholders, or (ii) the payment to Noteholders and Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Indenture and this Agreement, including, with respect to amounts released from the Lien of the Indenture, distribution thereof to the Certificateholders and the payment to any Support Provider of all amounts payable or reimbursable to it pursuant to the Series Supplement; provided, however, that the rights to indemnification under Section 8.2 and the rights under Section 8.1 shall survive the termination of the Trust. The Master Servicer shall

25 promptly notify the Owner Trustee of any prospective termination pursuant to this Section 9.1. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor (y) entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Trust or Owner Trust Estate nor (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.

(b) Except as provided in clause (a), neither the Depositor, the Insurer nor any other Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate the Trust.

(c) If any Certificates are in certificated form, notice of any termination of a Series Trust Estate, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Certificateholders of such Series shall surrender their Certificates to the Certificate Paying Agent for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given by the Owner Trustee by letter to Certificateholders of such Series mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice of such termination given pursuant to Section 9.1(a) hereof, stating (i) the Distribution Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Certificates of such Series shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates of such Series at the office of the Certificate Paying Agent therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates of such Series at the office of the Certificate Paying Agent therein specified and (iv) interest will cease to accrue on the Certificates of such Series. The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if other than the Owner Trustee) and the Certificate Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates of such Series, the Certificate Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of such Series amounts distributable pursuant to the Series Supplement.

(d) If any Certificates are in certificated form, in the event that all of the Certificateholders holding certificated Certificates of such Series shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Certificate Paying Agent shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders holding certificated Certificates of such Series to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the certificated Certificates of such Series shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Paying Agent may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders holding certificated Certificates concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other Series Trust Estate assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed, subject to applicable escheat laws, by the Certificate Paying Agent to the Depositor and Holders shall look solely to the Depositor for payment.

(e) Any funds remaining in the Trust after funds for final distribution have been distributed or set aside for distribution shall be distributed by the Certificate Paying Agent to the Depositor.

(f) Upon the winding up of the Trust and its dissolution, the Owner Trustee shall 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.

Successor Owner Trustees and Additional Owner Trustees

Section 10.1. Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a corporation or national banking association (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; (iv) having (or having a parent which has) a rating of at least Baa3 by Moody’s or A-1 by Standard & Poors; and (v) acceptable to the Certificateholders. If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.2.

Section 10.2. Resignation or Removal of 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 (or in the event that the Depositor is not the sole Certificateholder, the Certificate Majority), any Support Provider and the Master Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee, meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 10.1 herein, 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; provided that the Depositor and the Insurer shall have received written confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies that the proposed appointment will not result in an increased capital charge to any Support Provider by either of the Rating Agencies. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee or any Support Provider 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 10.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party), or if at any time

27 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 respective property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its respective property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) may remove the Owner Trustee. If the Depositor or the Insurer shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 10.1 herein and acceptable to the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party), by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed, one copy to any Support Provider and one copy to the successor 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 10.2 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.3 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Depositor shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

Section 10.3. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, any Support Provider and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of its predecessor shall become effective and the 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 Depositor and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 10.3 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to all Certificateholders, the Insurer, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Master Servicer shall fail to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Master Servicer.

Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall promptly file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State identifying the name and principal place of business of such successor Owner Trustee in the State of Delaware.

Section 10.4. 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 shall be a party, or any corporation 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 such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1, 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 shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies, the Depositor and the Master Servicer.

Section 10.5. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee and any Support Provider 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, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) and, if the Insurer is not the Controlling Party, subject to the approval of the Certificate Majority (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 10.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.3.

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

(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations

29 (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 Master Servicer, the Insurer (for so long as it is the Controlling Party) and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer and the 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 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.

Section 11.6. Separate Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

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, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Master Sale and Servicing Agreement. A copy of each of the Master Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Agreement and the Series Supplement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Depositor, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Depositor, by any Certificateholder upon written request.

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable 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 in the Corporate Trust Office, 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 one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Agreement is the Owner Trustee.

The Certificates are issuable as registered Certificates in any Percentage Interest not to exceed 100%. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the holder surrendering the same. 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 tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Certificates may not be acquired by or for the account of (a) an employee benefit plan (as defined in § 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a plan (as defined in § 4975(e) (1) of the Code) that is subject to § 4975 of the Code or (c) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of such plan’s investment in the entity (each, a “Benefit Plan”). The Certificate Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Certificate unless the transferee has delivered to the Owner Trustee a representation letter in form and substance satisfactory to the

A-5

Owner Trustee to the effect that the transferee is not, and is not acquiring the Certificate for the account of, a Benefit Plan.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, 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 shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature, this Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Agreement or the Master Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
